Guide of Bait Tactics

[Maltz]

The Lowly Trappers

Here come the faithful lesser farmers,
Who loyally follow their leader's orders.
Carry weapons longer and pointier,
They shall prevail like scissors against paper.

Prey in the Trap

The preys fall in the trap,
Like chicken nuggets in a wrap.
The daimyo earns a full-face slap,
Turning his elite to battle scrap.

"My lord! Chosokabe Kunichika is tough! We just can't take him down!"
"Don't take him down! Take his horse down!

Thrust of Fortune

They surrounded the enemy's taisho,
But it was difficult to bring down a clan's daimyo.
Suddenly, a nobody is made into a hero,
As his spear penetrates the steed's torso.

[Maltz]

"My lord, Chosokabe Kunichika has fallen - off his horse! A cutting blow - is delivered to his neck!"
"Good!"

[Maltz]

"My lord, I am sorry. I cannot draw out the last ashigaru unit. The Chosokabe's Bow Samurai are really aggressive."
"Let me show you!"
"My lord took the prey and made a large circle around the enemy... taking Bait Tactics to a new level!"

Twenty Four. The Samurai Sacrifice


"My lord, Chosokabe has nothing but samurai left!"
"Too bad I can't make them adapt a new formation. Hm... let the Bow Ashigaru try!"
"Chosokabe sent some Katana Samurai forward - like a volunteer to take the arrows. A sacrifice. "
"Here is a good spot to safely shoot at the Katana Samurai and avoid drawing out Bow Samurai."
"Good!"

31. Sometimes a few samurai unit breaks free from the formation to face our cavalry. Find a safe spot to shoot at them. Lure them back with the bow infantry, but not the cavalry - the prey will turn back if a cavalry leads it.
