Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Facing the powerful force of the Hojo family's army, in order to prevent the enemy from using the castle town as a forward position for attack, the joint forces of the Tai-Da family and the Luo family set off a fire and burned the castle town of Edo Castle.  ¡ûThe flames soared into the sky and looked particularly dazzling in the night sky.  The next day, Hojo Ujiyasu's seven thousand troops who marched overnight also arrived at the gates of Edo Castle and quickly set up their main formation on the hill to the east of the city. Three scale flags stood high above the main formation.  Coupled with Hojo Genan's previous advance formation, the strength of the Hojo army instantly reached tens of thousands.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­  Odawara members: Matsuda Morihide, Matsuda Kenhide, Matsuda Hideharu, Matsuda Yasunaga, Matsuda Yasugo, Itabe Okae Sekssai.  Songshan people: Towa Shisu, Towa Yasutada, Ueda Asanao, Ueda Kensada, Kano Taimitsu.  Members of the imperial family: Ise Sadatatsu, Ise Sadun, Ogasawara Motosu, Ogasawara Yasuhiro, and Ogasawara Nagafusa.  The royal horse returns to the crowd: Ishinomaki Iezada, Ishinomaki Yasuo, Ishinomaki Yasuo, Yamakoko Kangding, and Shankaku Dingsheng.  The number of troops led by all the Hojo Army generals who arrived at Edo Castle reached 10,000.  Previously, when facing Uesugi Kenshin's Kwantung Allied Forces, Hojo Ujiyasu with 23,000 men was able to challenge Hojo Kenshin's 80,000 Kwantung Allied Forces head-on.  But this time, he mobilized an army of 10,000 people to surround the small area of ????Edo Castle. However, there were only Takahashi Shaoyun and Tai Tianyasu with less than 1,000 troops in the city. The comparison of the strength of the two sides  A disparity of ten to one!  Such a powerful military force gathered in Edo Castle.  It seems like all it takes is a spit from everyone.  It can flood Edo Castle.  It can be seen that Hojo Ujiyasu is determined to win this time.  He vowed to capture Takahashi Shaoyun and Tai Tian Yasuji, and even surrounded the point at the same time for reinforcements, so as to deal with the reinforcements of Tai Tian Zizheng and Satomi Yoshihiro.  It was precisely for this purpose that the Hojo Army did not immediately launch an attack on the city, but instead surrounded Edo Castle on three floors and three outside.  The Hojo Army set up roadblocks at various flat intersections to prevent Takahashi Shaoyun and others from escaping. At the same time, they were also on guard against raids by the Tai-Tian and Luo family coalition forces on the Hojo Army's positions.  Even during a breakout, they were not worried at all that they would not be able to capture Edo Castle. They were only worried that they would escape Takahashi Shaoyun, Taida Yasushi and other fish that slipped through the net, which would affect their plan to encircle the point and provide reinforcements.  And in order to quickly attract the reinforcements of Tai-Tazumasa and Satomi Yoshihiro, all Hojo Ujiyasu's Homo ninjas were dispatched to spread the news everywhere that Edo Castle was besieged by the Hojo family's army.  On the night when Hojo Ujiyasu arrived, there was loud logging outside the city, the sound of people, and the banging of wooden piles. All kinds of sounds were heard all night long. The soldiers of the Tai-Tian family and the Luo family in the city were affected by this.  Was up all night.  It¡¯s dawn the next day.  After the Tai-Tian and Luo families got up, they looked out at the hole in the curved wheel.  There were countless tents and wooden shacks erected, as if a castle town had been rebuilt on the current flat land.  Relying on its huge manpower, the Hojo Army built a complete camp overnight, with trenches, horse fences, watchtowers, and military camps one after another in an orderly manner.  Not only the Tai-Tian family and the Luo family's coalition forces were dumbfounded, but even Takahashi Shaoyun, who was watching from the Ninomaru arrow oar, was also secretly dumbfounded.  "As expected of the Sagami Lion!" After seeing Hojo Ujiyasu's formation, Takahashi Shoun couldn't help but sigh.  Completely opposite to the bold and surprise combat style of the lord Masara Raji, the formation of the Hojo Army appears to be very sophisticated and rigorous, and is watertight. It is somewhat similar to Imagawa Yoshimoto's combat method. However, in comparison, Imagawa Yoshimoto's formation often seems  It was too rigid, but Hojo Ujiyasu's formation seemed rigorous yet flexible.  And after seeing such a complete defense of the Hojo family, Takahashi Shoun even gave up the idea of ??attacking at night or leaving the city to fight.  At the moment, Takahashi Shaoyun has only one idea, which is to be prepared to stand by and wait for help.  Fortunately, Edo Castle is also a fortified city, and has sufficient food and water sources, so it can be used as a stronghold, so that the defenders have no worries.  When Takahashi Shaoun led his army to attack Edo Castle, without Ta-da Yasuji's betrayal, he could enter this fortified city through internal cooperation and external cooperation, and then confront the Hojo army that had reacted in the city.  of.  But it is a pity that although Toyama Tsunkei's army was defeated and Edo Castle was occupied, because Hojo Ujiyasu did know about Ta-da Yasushi's secret communication with Tai-da Shimasa very early,  In Takahashi Shoun's view, Hojo Ujiyasu really might have planned to use his plan to plot against Tai-da Yasushi and Tai-da Shimasa. However, after his sudden intervention, Hojo Ujiyasu's plan was destroyed.After planning, the annoyed Hojo Ujiyasu simply mobilized most of the Hojo family's military forces near Edo Castle and directly set up an encirclement plan to call for reinforcements.  Moreover, the speed with which it mobilized its troops was truly astounding. The fact that such a large army was assembled in just two days was truly shocking and admirable.  If it was the Luo family's military force that was rushing to rescue at this time, then Takahashi Shaoyun would naturally try his best not to let Hojo Ujiyasu's strategy of encircling the point to send reinforcements succeed, but now it is Tai-Tian Zizheng and Satoshi who are coming.  Seeing the reinforcements from Yoshihiro and his two men, he was no longer anxious at all. After all, this would completely entangle the Hojo family and prevent the Hojo family from continuing to support the Suruga Imagawa family.  Therefore, now he is still a little worried that Tai-Tian Zizheng and Satomi Yoshihiro will see Hojo Ujiyasu's plan and not come to the rescue.  Therefore, under such a situation, under the command of Tai Tian Yasushi and Takahashi Shao Yun, the Tai Tian family and the Luo family's coalition forces prepared desperately for war, reinforcing and repairing the city in various places, vowing to resist the fierce attack of the Hojo army.  .  And that night, the envoy sent by Hojo Ujiyasu to persuade the coalition forces of the Tai-Da family and the Luo family to surrender arrived at the gate of Edo Castle.  The fire in Edo Castle was blazing, illuminating the surrounding areas.  Takahashi Shaoyun, Ta-Tian Yasushi and other coalition generals boarded the arrow scull of Soteran Tengu Maru and watched the Hojo Army formation at night.  Takahashi Shaoun said aloud: "Although Edo Castle is not far from Hojo's home, it is blocked by mountains and rivers. Moreover, the territory along the way has just been destroyed by the Kanto Allied Forces. Tens of thousands of Hojo troops have gathered here. But it is  Supplies are not easy." Tai-Tian Yasuzu shook his head after hearing this and said, "Master Takahashi, do you want to attack the Hojo Army Supply Road, or wait for the Hojo Army to run out of supplies? I have been with Hojo Ujiyasu for many years.  He is well aware of the supply methods of the Hojo Army. "Look!" Tai-Tian Yasuzu pointed at Hojo Ujiyasu's camp, and saw several horse teams holding torches or full-loaded pack teams in the distance.  One after another they went back and forth to the camp.  Tai-Tian Yasushi explained: "The Hojo Army's method is to supply supplies on the spot." At the beginning, the war was carried out by Hojo Ujiyasu.  They are all wars in the country. The two armies fight back and forth in the same country. They are usually only half a day, a day or a few days away from each other. So the so-called logistics refers to the waist bags (dry food bags) carried by the soldiers.  So-called large-scale logistical supplies are out of the question.  After that, when we went out to Kanto, we fought on the territory of other countries, so the logistical supply problem arose, and we had to supply supplies locally from the Hojo family.  The transportation is not very convenient, and the supply time is too long.  Therefore, Hojo Ujiyasu usually adopts methods.  It is supplying on the spot, in other words, looting on the spot.  Then the coalition generals discussed various ways to relieve the siege, but they were all rejected one by one.  Facing the powerful force of the Hojo Army, generals such as Takahashi Shoun were helpless, and others were even more helpless.  But at this moment, something strange happened in the Hojo family's military camp. A large number of soldiers and horses were seen moving back and forth in the camp.  The people in the city couldn't help but be surprised, and one of them was even more shocked and said: "Does Hojo Ujiyasu not want to wait even one night, so he wants to attack the city overnight? Do you want to beat the drum to prepare for the battle?" "No, there is no reason to use cavalry to attack the city.  Let¡¯s take a look at the movements of the Hojo Army first." Takahashi Shaoyun stopped him.  Sure enough, the door of the Hojo barracks opened, and a group of nearly a hundred Hojo cavalry galloped in, and then stopped outside the range of the cannon from the city.  The allied forces of the Tai-Tian family and the Luo family didn't know what was going on, so the soldiers on duty at night started talking about it.  Takahashi Shaoyun also saw in the firelight, a dozen Hojo generals dressed in eye-catching armor, pointing at the Edo Castle, laughing loudly as if no one was watching, and moved the Tai-Tian family and the Luo family on the city.  The coalition forces ignored it.  At this time, a horse-riding samurai from the Hojo army came to the city on horseback and shouted loudly: "I am the diplomatic envoy of the Hojo family, please don't shoot!" The horse-riding samurai shouted several words in a row and galloped to the city.  Takahashi Shoun stood on Tengumaru's arrow scull and shouted at the other party: "There is nothing to say. Reply to Dr. Sakyo, I, Takahashi Shoun of the Toe Imagawa family, have decided to fight him to the death." The mounted samurai turned around.  Ma Tou came to Takahashi Shoun's arrow scull, raised his head and said: "It turns out that His Excellency Takahashi Shoun of the Ene Imagawa family lives in the lower part of Okae Seksai, and the Toe Imagawa family where you live is in Oigawa, Ene Province.  The battle along the coast can be said to have completely offended my family, and now our Hojo army, tens of thousands of troops, has surrounded this place. Can you defend the city with your own strength? I, Dr. Sakyo, have a kind heart and respect that you are one of them.  Brave general, I couldn't bear to see the whole city's soldiers being shattered here, so I sent me here" "That's nonsense." At this time, Gao Qiao Shaoyun shouted loudly, "Dr. Sakyo is not ashamed to say that the dispute over the governor of the Imagawa family was originally a matter for the Imagawa family, but Dr. Sakyo suddenly intervened in the internal affairs of the family. His ambition is very obvious!  How could such a shameless person capture this city?  I would like to advise Dr. Sakyo to go back and have a good sleep!  What's more, I'm afraid Odawara Castle is also empty at this time. I would like to advise Dr. Sakyo to go back and look after his family as soon as possible. Neither the Imagawa family in Suruga nor the Takeda family in Kai is so trustworthy. Even these two families  There is no unusual movement, and our fleet does not mind having fun in the waters near Odawara Castle.  " This fight before the battle was just a quarrel between the two sides. The reason why Takahashi Shaoyun revealed his identity before was to strengthen the confidence of Tai Tian Kangzi beside him to resist. After fighting with Tai Tian Kangzi  After several interactions, Takahashi Shaoyun knew very well that Tai Tian Kangzi was a weakling. If this guy couldn't stand the pressure, he might surrender. In this way, Takahashi Shaoyun worked so hard to provoke him.  The confrontation in Kanto will be resolved as a result, and the Hojo family will be able to increase their support to the Suruga Imagawa family. This is unacceptable to Takahashi Shaoyun, so this time, Takahashi Shao will die.  Fate must drag the Hojo family's army here. On the Hojo family's side, the previous Hojo samurai Itabu Okae Yutsusai and the many Hojo soldiers wanted to overwhelm the resistance of the Tai-Tian family and the Luo family's coalition forces.  The coalition forces countered by saying that the Hojo Army sent out all its troops and that the base was empty, to shake the morale of the Hojo Army. Hearing this, Itabe Okae Yuksai was not refuted, and laughed and said: "Your Excellency's words are sharp.  It's a pity that you don't understand the general trend.  It took our army a few days to capture a mere Edo Castle.  Your Excellency Gao Qiao Shaoyun, you can have your own way, but do all the soldiers in the city think the same way as you?  They all have wives and children at home, aren't they afraid of death?  Dr. Sakyo, upholding justice, will definitely treat surrenderers kindly. As long as you are willing to leave the city and surrender, Dr. Sakyo can guarantee" "Shut up!  "    "boom!  " I heard the sound of an iron cannon, which was particularly harsh at night. The projectile hit Itabokae Yukssai in front of his horse. Itabokae Yukssai was caught off guard and saw the horse's back shudder. He fell off the horse.  However, the man was not hit by the iron cannon bullet. He only saw Takahashi Shaoyun holding the iron cannon in one hand and holding the trigger in the other. He stood there and said, "This shot is just a warning. Don't think you are an envoy.  We don't dare to kill you. We go back and report to Dr. Sakyo that our coalition forces are united and no one will surrender.  "Itabe Okae Yukssai climbed back on the horse in embarrassment, and barely controlled the frightened horse to return to the Hojo Army. But at this time, another general of the Hojo Army galloped towards the city. But this time he was a few dozen meters away from the city.  At the foot of the meter, he reined in his horse and stopped. Upon seeing this, Takahashi Shaoyun immediately shouted: "If Dr. Sakyo just sends people to try to persuade our army to surrender and shake the morale of the army, this method is too despicable.  " I saw the other party raise the whip in his hand, point at the arrow and oar and say loudly: "Kang Zi, you are well!  " I saw Taitian Kangzi next to Gao Qiao Shaoyun suddenly change his face. He held his hand on the guardrail and said in a trembling voice: "Master Lord big man!  " Gaoqiao Shaoyun and others were immediately shocked when they heard this, and looked down the city in disbelief. They saw this horse-riding warrior wearing a golden bag on his head and wearing a lustrous belly roll. He was holding the reins in one hand and holding a whip in the other.  It was the Sagami Lion Hojo Ujiyasu who was so famous that even the enemies of the Tai-Da family and the Luo family were deeply impressed. So, the coalition forces of the Tai-Da family and the Luo family in the city actually dared to commit the crime in person!  When they came so close to the city, the crowd suddenly became excited. Many people squeezed their heads, and the narrow openings of the row of curved wheels were full of faces. They squeezed into their seats one by one and stretched their heads inward and outward.  Looking around, everyone wanted to see what kind of style this Sagami lion Hojo Ujiyasu was. Hojo Ujiyasu drove his horse to the left and right. His purpose was not to stay in place and let the iron cannon and arrows aim at him, so that he would be sniped.  Seeing this scene on the castle tower, I couldn't help but smile. I simply rode a few steps forward and stood up, as if I wanted you to see clearly. Hojo Ujiyasu even raised his headband, revealing his face under the headband, and shouted loudly.  : "Yes, I am Hojo Ujiyasu!  " When the allied forces of the Tai-Tian family and the Luo family in the city heard this, they all looked at each other in disbelief and said. "It's really Dr. Zukyo.  " "Look.  " I saw Hojo Ujiyasu still sitting on the horse and walking slowly. His determination made the allied forces on the city, including several generals, feel heartbroken. Takahashi Shaoyun rushed down from the arrow and scull, facing  Following the allied iron cannon, he asked: "At this distance, can the iron cannon be used to hit Hojo Uyasu?"  ¡± Mrs. Tian¡¯s familyThe iron cannon leader of the Luo family alliance thought for a moment and said: "At this distance, it is too difficult for one or two iron cannons to hit. Unless dozens of iron cannons are mobilized to fire in a salvo, there is a 70% chance." "  Okay!" Takahashi Shaoyun nodded and said in a deep voice, "Go and move the iron artillery team here. I want to see if Hojo Ujiyasu can escape." Previously, Uesugi Kenshin went out to Kanto and besieged Hojo.  When his family was in Odawara, Uesugi Kenshin was alone and came to the range of the Hojo family's iron cannon to sit on the ground and drink alone.  The dozens of iron cannon ashigaru and bow ashigaru sent by the Hojo family kept shooting at him, but Uesugi Kenshin seemed to be possessed by a ghost. No matter how hard he shot, he couldn't hurt Uesugi Kenshin at all.  But Takahashi Shoun did not believe that Hojo Ujiyasu could have the same good luck as Uesugi Kenshin.  While the cannonmen and archers were being mobilized in the city, Hojo Ujiyasu said loudly: "I just raised the cannon to shoot, but Lord Takahashi Shoun?" Faced with Hojo Ujiyasu's inquiry, Takahashi Shoun  So he stood on the oar, looked at each other with Hojo Ujiyasu, and then said: "It is me, when you returned from the Musashi Kingdom in victory, I also witnessed your majestic appearance on the roadside, and now for several months  No, your Excellency is still as handsome as ever." And just as the defenders on the city were looking at Hojo Ujiyasu at the bottom of the city, a group of iron cannon ashigaru transferred by Takahashi Shaoyun, holding iron cannons and carrying pellets and gunpowder on their shoulders.  Xiao Bao was trotting all the way towards Tengu Maru's curved wheel.  Hojo Ujiyasu under the castle didn't seem to be afraid at all that the defenders in the city would snipe him with iron cannons. He looked at Takahashi Shaoyun standing on the arrow oar and said eloquently: "Takahashi Shaoyun, your Excellency can do this this time."  You are really impressed by me for destroying my plan and defeating my general to capture Edo Castle. Now my army has heavily surrounded Edo Castle, and there is absolutely no chance for you and your Excellency to break out of the siege.  But it is better to remain useful and surrender to the Shimohojo family. I swear that as long as you are willing to surrender to the Shimohojo family, I will retreat immediately and spare the lives of all the people in Edo Castle. " "Wow!  "'s 200-point reward support; thank "cap" for his 100-point reward support.) (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
