He's targeting psychological stress. It's the same thing with holding mock executions of prisoners/hostages; each time the subject's nerves are drawn tight expecting to die, until it snaps and they literally become a broken doll.

Also, despite your assertions, only one Sengoku commander has been referenced with studying the Art of War, and that was Takeda Shingen.

Remember, this is a military treatise likely kept as confidential as possible, in a country as large as China, that has to cross the sea into Japan, cross over land into the hands of Oda clan, and is either translated into Japanese or Oda clan having to study Chinese, with Japanese Kanji and Chinese Hanji being very different with certain readings.

@SunSun

The Art of War wasn't confidential, it was widely distributed across the Chinese military as one of the core texts. It was introduced to Japan as early as the 8th century. Shingen was the one who famously took his "Furinkazan" from it, but you can bet that any East-Asian general worth their salt was familiar with the Art of War. Japan was very familiar with the classics of Chinese Literature, in general.

But I don't think anybody needed to literally read Sun Tzu to come up with this tactic, since it seems so intuitive. But maybe that's just the benefit of history speaking, SOMEBODY had to come up with everything first, even if it seems obvious to a modern-day person.
