Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1568 1540. Demonic Weapon

A good leader will not pick on others, but will instead understand the psychological state of the leader and thus better establish his or her behavior style.

Lan En undoubtedly knew this well.

After his tough order, he immediately responded to the order.

"Since the Night Sword God has been worshipped, he still came out of the shrine and led a group of monsters. It should have been influenced by Yilong with spirit stones. He fell from God and became a chaotic wild soul. .”

After Lan En glanced around, he saw that he was very obedient, so he continued to analyze.

"Since you have figured out the details of those spirit stones and the leading monsters, the rest will be decided."

"Your Highness, you already have a way to deal with the monster legion?"

Fujiro shouted flatteringly in a slightly exaggerated manner.

Lan En glanced at him.

It is not impossible to use mortal troops to fight monsters.

But no matter how hard you say it, you have to have enough weapons and equipment.

Now, from a normal historical perspective, it was when muskets were introduced from Europe to Japan. But because it has only been introduced for a short time, there are not many muskets in the inner area of ​​the Japanese archipelago, such as Mino.

Of course, the power of muskets in normal history is not enough to be seen. After all, a flying fist of a heretic soldier, except for the lack of fragments, is almost the same as the power of an RPG.

There is no need to consider ammunition logistics.

But the muskets in this world should not be simple, otherwise they would not have killed the knight class on the European continent.

In this magical world, Lan En doesn't believe that the knights have few ruthless work.

But now, there are no conditions to install muskets on a large scale.

"The monsters went to siege Iwamura City, but our key goal was not Iwamura City, but here!"

The Lake Girl's Sword was sheathed and pointed at a place on the map on the table.

"Here?" Fujiro tilted his head so that he could look at the text marked on the map, "Tread the Beard."

"Treading the mountain?" Akechi Mitsuhide's culture is much higher than that of Fujiro, and his understanding of Mino maps is much higher. He immediately mentioned the map notation that Fujiro was not very daring to confirm.

"But why is it here, Your Highness?"

"This place is indeed important, but the battle with the present"

Akichi Mitsuhide didn't finish his words, but in this formation, the samurai who had fought in Mino's expeditions looked at each other, knowing what this meant.

It cannot be said that it has nothing to do with it, it can only be said that it is incompatible with each other.

Tajishan is a production place for high-quality iron ore. In Minon, many knife makers gathered there and gradually formed a well-known forging village.

Although the craftsmen of this era do not understand what the "integration advantage" is, they have actually completed some "integration" when they gathered together.

They each performed their own duties and developed more efficient stoves, forgings and other equipment, and the equipment produced higher-level swords and weapons.

It can be said to be the arsenal of Mino.

But now they and Saito Yoshirō are full of martial arts, so there is no need to go. And it is time that raids. Who has the time to go to the arsenal during the raid?

But Lane's hand with Alon Dai was not shaken.

"What is the most important thing for both the enemy and us to ensure in marching and fighting?"

Lan En ignored the question and asked quickly.

Akechi Mitsuhide's orthodox martial arts education made him answer without hesitation: "Food, grass, supplies, your highness. But"

"But you want to say that monsters don't care about food and supplies, because they can't use them at all. So the methods of dealing with human army, such as cutting off food channels and logistics, as long as you can't move that large pile of spirit stones, will be fundamentally the only way to deal with the human army, such as cutting off food channels and logistics. Useless."

Lan En glanced at Akiji Mitsuhide, as if it was straight into the hearts of the people. Lan En knew everything he didn't say.

“But. It’s useful.”

Ah Xiu walked up from behind Lan Eun and threw down a bundle of weapons in her hand.

Basically, they are knifes with no blades and spears with broken handles.

These simple and crude weapons were thrown on the ground, but they seemed to be shocked by Akechi Mitsuhide.@@novelbin@@

He was originally kneeling towards Lan En, and immediately stood up with a serious expression.

"These demonic auras! These are all demonic weapons? Not that would be too weak. And these weapons are too weak. Your Highness, is this?"

"This is the most important logistics of Saito Yoshiro."

Lan Eun kicked a knife from the ground and went to Akichi Mitsuhide's hand.

"The monsters are fierce and bloodthirsty, but most of them are not stupid enough to have weapons. Haha, the monkey also knows to smash walnuts with stones."

"If ape ghost, demon ghost, perished warrior, and heretic soldiers don't have weapons, they will probably have twice as hot tempers."

"Saito Yoshirō didn't rely on those piles of spirit stones to summon all the monsters in the deep mountains and forests in Mino. Look at the quality of these weapons. In that monster army, at least 70% or 80% of them are in the monster army. It was a monster she created with spirit stones."

The weapons of monsters have always been a very long field of stories circulating in Japan since ancient times.

For example, the [Ghost Golden Stick] of Shuitun Boy, one of the three great monsters in Japan.

Some of the monster's weapons are found from the remains of humans in the mountains and forests like apes and ghosts.

Some are like bull-headed ghosts and horse-headed ghosts, which are already covered with complete clothes when they appear.

It is said that they are equipped with equipment they wear in the underworld of the Yellow Springs. After all, in the legend of the Japanese side, the bull-headed and horse-faced man also served as the official position of detainee of evil ghosts in Huangquan.

But the similarity between the two is: those weapons are either made up of demonic energy or are completely infected by demonic energy. It can be said to be part of the monster.

So when they are alive, no matter how much they use those weapons, they will not be damaged or beaten down. Correspondingly, attacks can also weaken them when they hit weapons and armor.

But after the monster died, its body turned into foul air and disappeared, and the weapons and cloaks that looked like iron were not left behind.

Part of the [demonic weapon] mentioned by Akichi Mitsuhide was forged with the material of the monster's strong demonic energy and was forged by the knife craftsman's hands.

Part of it is a special situation by chance. Sometimes the weapons can be captured from the hands of the armed monster and left behind.

Another part is that the weapons have cut off too many people, or have strange encounters, and they have become monsters.

Lan En said that in the monster army, there are many newly transformed monsters because of these weapons.

How many monsters did they kill along the way? And all the weapons in the hands of these monsters were left behind.

It is obvious that these weapons were neither brought from Huangquan nor were they completely infected by the demonic energy. They just looked like they had just started to use them!

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

So we won't be taken away together when the monsters dissipate.

The monster that was just created was attracted by the spirit stones and by these scattered weapons.

This allows those irritable and crazy monsters to barely move in one direction and become a monster legion.

Akechi Mitsuhide is also a talent who is proficient in Yin-Yang Technique and has his own insights into the harmony of spirit stones and Yin-Yang.

After Lan En's guidance and observing the weapons in his hand, he immediately understood what Lan En meant.

"But these monsters will inevitably fight internally when they get together! The curling blades and cracks on them are evidence!"

Akechi Mitsuhide's eyes shined.

"Their weapons are very much lost! The melting pot on Mount Tai is the only place where Mino can bear these losses at the moment!"

It is not a simple task for monsters to completely immerse their weapons with demonic energy.

The ape ghost was accumulated in the deep mountains and forests for a long time to complete. The demon ghost who broke into Shisanying Village had a piece of spirit stone the size of a palm that could wrap the demonic energy on the knife so quickly, and it was not considered as the sameization. .

Now these monsters gathered into legions have such conditions?

Perhaps, Saito Yoshiro deliberately did not give them these conditions. After all, if you can use weapons to induce the monsters, the formations of the monsters are not too outrageous.

If there were no weapons, people would know how far they could spread.

"Ah!" Fujiro stood up with great enlightenment at this time, "If that's the case, as long as the weapons are controlled, even if the monsters are still guided to Iwamura Castle, it will be easier to deal with if there are no weapons in their hands! ”

"Your Highness!" Akihi Mitsuhide immediately knelt on one knee and looked up at Lan En, "Treading the mountain is closer to us than Iwamura City! Please lead two thousand people below to recover the Forging furnace of Treading the mountain!"

"I will split a thousand people." Lan En said lightly, "The most elite thousand people must at least force their troops to Mount Tread. But it is not led by you."

Akechi Mitsuhide, who was originally going to bow his head and take the order, looked up in shock when he heard this and happened to see Lan En pointing at him.

"We are grabbing time, Mitsuhide. So we have to directly defeat and suppress the resistance that stepped onto the mountain like a hammer smashing walnuts!"

The witch hunter calmly states the facts: "You can't do it, only I can do it here."

"After all, as the most important baggage, even if Saito Yoshiro is in a bad mind, he will never send heavy troops to guard it. The craftsmen there are all good talents, so I can save as much as I can."

"But if you lead troops to attack, I'm afraid there will be a stalemate there that will be so few living people left."

"But Your Highness!" Akichi Mitsuhide was in a state of great emotion, "As a general, how can you?"

Before Lan En could finish his words, he whispered, "Isn't it because you are not responsible?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of armor colliding suddenly rang.

Everyone in the entire array, except Wuming and Ah Xiu, even Fujiro hurriedly knelt down on one knee at Lan En with a "swish".

"I am incompetent!" *N

A voice of panic and self-blame came out, and even the noise outside the formation seemed to have fallen into a brief silence due to the movements and stillness in the formation.

Lan En didn't say much because his goal had been achieved.

No one will object to his plan again next.

It is Lan En who can take different leadership strategies based on his subordinates' different personalities and cultural backgrounds.

Facing the Knights of Embers, Lincoln and the others would understand what to persuade Lan En when they saw Lan En's face, and it would be useless to persuade him.

However, in the magical Japanese Warring States Period, appropriate pressure was a very effective way of leadership.

Of course, becoming a pressure monster like Oda Nobunaga that can drive people crazy is another manifestation of the leader's incompetence.

"You must be in place as soon as possible, Fujiro and Mitsuhide." Lan En's eyes were obviously very calm, but they couldn't help but swallow. "The monsters in the cluster must be wiped out with the army of the cluster, and at least they must constrain the scope of their escape."

"Otherwise, even if you win, it's hard to say how many people those scattered monsters can kill...."

So no voice came forward that night to persuade Lan En.

The next morning, the thousand foot lights that were allocated were pulled out before dawn.

I didn't bring any supplies, I didn't bring any tents, cooking utensils, etc., but only food rations.

After all, in Lan En's eyes, he could just live in a house after he set up a mountain. What kind of marching tent is needed?

The whole day was marching, and when it was approaching evening, I arrived at Mount Tai.
