Twenty Five. A Little Hope of Forest Hill
"Shinji! Oh, you are now a Suzuki. Is that real mostache?"
"Yes, my lord. It is real."
"Amazing that you managed to grow it in a year. Mine is just a fake glued to the mask."
"What's the battle plan, my lord?"
"You are now an official general. Why don't you make a plan?"
"Yes, my lord! The terrain of the battlefield is primarily forest. I think Amako's army is going to pick a large hill and hide in there. This hill in the center is large enough to hide all enemy soldiers."
"My map does not show a large hill here... but yes, it is a large hill."
"So we cannot use Bait Tactics... we will have to attack it the hard way. We can surround the hill with units and attack together."
"Why can't we use Bait tactics?"
"Because when the enemy hides in deep forest, there is no way to draw them out."
"Really?"
32. When the enemy hides in deep forest, it is extremely difficult to draw them out. But there is one exception : melee ashigaru.
"The Amako army is 70% Yari Ashigaru. There is a good chance that many units are exposed. Why don't you take a look at the formation of the Amako army before they go into hiding?"
"Yes, my lord!"
