Eleven. Long-ranged Bow Draws out Melee Samurai

"Got them all, my lord!"
"Good! Now we have got rid of all Shimazu's Yari Ashigaru.... all melee infantry remaining are samurai. How do we tackle it?"

18. Draw out melee samurai: The best way is to use Bow Warrior Monk to shoot them from afar. When they receive a certain damage, they will start charging.

"But... this is year 1549, where do we find Bow Warrior Monks? "
"Well, there are Naginata Warrior Monk Cavlary... "



"Oh wait, here is another solution..."

19. Draw out melee samurai: Another way is to use your ranged infantry and approach them head-on - not from the side. They start charging at you when you get close - it might require a paranoid general, though.

"Hm... well, at least it is worth a try. "
"Maybe I can get them close enough to shoot at the samurai, but not close enough to draw out Shimazu's Bow Samurai! Then we can deal some damage to them to make sure they do come out!"
"Good! I will take over to hold the Shimazu formation in place, so my lord can deliver some encouragement on the Bow Ashigaru!"
"Good idea!"


Note: At the end of the guide I will supply another video showing how to use Bow Warrior Monk to draw out melee samurai.
