Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Nagao Kagetora soon made a decision. On August 26, Nagao Kagetora personally led 5,000 troops to Higashi-Ueno, aiming directly at the rebel coalition forces in Higashi-Ueno. The defense of Amabashi Castle was given full responsibility to Saito Asanobu.  , Honjo Shigenaga and other Etsuchi reserves were responsible for assisting in the garrison.  In fact, the Kiryu clan, the Yama clan clan, and the Yura clan led an army of 5,000 people and suddenly stopped near Tenjin Mountain in Higashi Ueno. No matter how much the Hojo family envoy urged, they were unwilling to take another step. The reason was that the soldiers were tired due to lack of food and grass.  I would like to ask Odawara-den to bear with me.  The envoy of the Hojo family realized that they were not sincere in their service at all, so they snorted and left. The three family governors happily sat on Mount Tenjin and admired the beautiful scenery of Ueno Country. In the late summer and early autumn, they took more than 5,000 people on a group trip.  Climbing high and looking far away, tasting wine and singing songs, this is the only way to live a comfortable life.  Kiryu Sukezuna was silent for a moment and said: "The expression of the noble envoy just now was very unpleasant!" Teru Kusama said disapprovingly: "What are you afraid of? Isn't it the envoy of the Hojo family? Didn't you see a pot of porridge in Nishi Ueno's attack on the city?  "How long will it take to get to us?" "What I'm worried about is not the envoy from the Hojo family, but the reaction from Nishi Ueno!" Kiryu Sukezuna glanced at the expressions of the two of them worriedly: "I don't feel comfortable waiting for the big fuss.  Great, Nagano Shinano Shoden will be very angry, and Danzhengden will not be happy either! After all, it would be bad for me to rebel again with the grain and rice donated by the Nagao family!" "Hey!  , We are also forced to have no choice!" Yura Chengshige comforted: "The Hojo family is unstoppable, and it is natural for our countrymen to repeat their positions. In troubled times, the main thing is to preserve our strength. As for the kindness we owe to the Nagao family.  Please pay it back slowly when you have the opportunity in the future!¡± This is located on the only way to enter Higashi Ueno Street.  The coalition of wealthy families gathered by the three families came to a posture of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between tigers. If the Hojo family won for a while, then they would definitely take the opportunity to rush down the mountain and follow them, waving flags and shouting. By then, Hojo Ujiyasu would not be able to deal with them.  If the Nagao family wins for a while, they can send envoys to express that they are forced to do nothing. At that time, Nagao Kagetora will definitely not be able to do anything to them. Don't be too happy with this unprofitable business of selling at a high price.  Higashi Ueno was able to pull out 5,000 powerful allied troops at once because they gathered to take advantage of this.  They soon stopped laughing.  When Luan Long Banner and Jiu Yao Ba emerged from the ground little by little, the leaders of the three families stood up in panic. The gathered wealthy families looked at each other, not knowing how to deal with the long-tailed army that was rushing over.  "Yura Shinano guards the palace! What's going on? Didn't you say that the Nagao Army won't interfere with us? Then what's going on! The Nagao Army is about to attack!" A Chinese shouted angrily  , woke up the shocked Higashi Ueno wealthy family.  Immediately, one of the people from the country shouted: "It's too late to say anything now! Hurry up and pack your things and run away!" "Yes! Run for your life!" The people from the Higashi Ueno country dispersed in a hurry. Those who had horses got on their horses and ran away.  Those on horseback grunted and fled backwards with their weapons on their shoulders. Those who had no time to run simply abandoned their bulky bags and tents. Those who were reluctant to abandon their things were still trying to pack them. Many horseless warriors took this opportunity to take away the horses of their allies.  Who can care about this now.  Kiryu Sukezuna stared blankly at the long-tailed army that was gradually approaching, and murmured to himself: "It's over! We're going to be finished! I told you not to rebel. You don't believe it! What should I do now!  " "Don't stand there stupidly! Run!" Yura Shige had already disappeared. Terujiu was still somewhat loyal, so he pulled Kiryu Sukezuna and ran down the mountain.  A war that had not yet begun was beginning to collapse. Nagao Kagetora took the lead and rushed to the front of the team. Seeing the defeated Higashino Ueno people fleeing in embarrassment, he shouted: "Order all the reserve teams to attack and capture the Higashi Ueno people alive.  If there is resistance, shoot to death!" The five thousand troops dispersed into several long dragons. Nagao Kagetora personally led a thousand horsemen to the camp on Tenjin Mountain. At this time, a group of warriors in the camp who were leading their horses to escape were blocked.  Just then, the leading samurai saw the Nagao family's Jiu Yaoba banner moving here with the general, and quickly got off his horse and knelt down to beg for surrender.  "Yu Yoshino no Morishige surrendered to Danshoden! We were all forced by the Hojo family to rebel before the battle, so we had no choice! By the way! I also have an order from Furukawa Palace here, please Danshoden to read it!" Yuryoshige  Fan's reaction was very quick, he pulled out a letter from his arms and handed it over respectfully.  As if he saw something dirty, Nagao Kagetora didn't even bother to look at it. He turned his face in disgust and started reading the edict. A short edict only had a hundred words in total. Nagao was  Jingtora looked at it for half a quarter of an hour before putting it down. It looked like his expression was very bad, as gloomy as water.Very scary.  "The Furukawa Temple has fallen into such a state, becoming a puppet of the Hojo family. I didn't expect that the samurai family in Kanto would be so degraded. Where is the righteousness of the samurai family? Where is the spirit of the samurai in Kanto?" Nagao Kagetora's question made the people of Ueno lower their heads in shame.  "The devil knows where it is!" Yura Narishige lowered his head and muttered secretly in his heart. The Yura family was originally from a lower family background, so he naturally did not take it seriously to the questions raised by the Nagao family governor. He was still congratulating himself on the timely delivery of Furukawa's order.  , this time I can probably get through the danger, and I really have no time to care about the life and death of other people.  "Shinano Mamoru, please rise, please Shinano Mamoru to lead the way for our family to surrender the rebellious people!" Nagao Kagetora looked at him with a faint smile and a gentle voice. The murderous look in his eyes made Yura Shifugashi's pores explode.  He got up and said hurriedly: "I, Naruhiro, will do my best to serve Danzhengdian!" Ignoring Yura Narashige's trembling expression, Nagao Kagetora looked at the people of Higashi Ueno Country running away down the mountain, and coldly snorted: "No matter Furukawa  No matter what the palace is, we must teach the wanton Higashino Ueno people a lesson!" Nagao Kagetora always said the same thing. In the next few days, under the guidance of Yura Shige, the leading party, Kiryu Suketsuna, the lord of Kiryu Castle, said nothing.  He was told to surrender immediately, and Teruhisa Yamayama also surrendered. Akahori Shimono Morichitsuna and other people from Akahori Castle surrendered immediately.  The will of these people is not strong to begin with.  It's not surprising to see the long-tailed army surrendering without restraint.  There are always people who cannot recognize the facts and still expect the Hojo family¡¯s army to rescue them.  For example, the representative Akuzawa clan, the lord of Goranda Castle, and the nearby Matsushima clan, Takusagi clan, Akuzawa clan and other people resolutely resisted the Nagao family's strategy. He tried to use the cage battle to slow down the Nagao army.  Use the branch city network to withstand the attack of the Nagao family.  This group of people are not ordinary Higashino Ueno people, but a branch developed by the Fukazawa clan, a wealthy family living near the Kurokawa Valley. With the Akuzawa clan as the core, they form a party called the Kurokawa clan. These wealthy families are closely related to each other and marry each other.  forming a very complex network of relationships.  This time, the Hojo family successfully persuaded them to use Sedo County as bait. The order they received was to delay the Nagatail Army's offensive rhythm in order to cooperate with the Hojo family's strategy in Nishi Ueno.  They did succeed in slowing down the Nagao Army's all-out attack. The angry Nagao Kagetora ordered the iron artillery team to attack. When three hundred iron artillery ashigaru trained by the Kira family stood outside the city, they had never seen it.  The Kurokawa people of the iron cannon looked at the iron cannon ashigaru under the city curiously as they raised a fire stick-like thing to take aim. They didn't know what they were going to do. The bold samurai stretched his head out of the arrow scull and laughed loudly.  It seems that he looks down upon the Nagao family¡¯s secret weapon.  "Aimfire!" The Long Tail Army's iron artillery general was none other than Jinjin Yoshiu's eldest son, Jinjin Shinbei Huyi, and he gave the order.  The fifty iron cannons in the front row quickly blasted out bullets, and intensive bombardment aimed at the four arrow sculls inside the Oshou Gate.  Several daring warriors were killed on the spot. Before the survivors hiding in the arrow oars could figure out what was going on, another round of attacks followed.  Every 50 Tiepao ashigaru perform a round of concentrated fire, and the Tiepao ashigaru in the back row will immediately take over. The 300 people are divided into six equal parts and take turns to shoot. The time is just enough to connect the previous round of firing, which seems to be endless.  The iron cannon bombardment quickly shattered several arrows and oars, and the suppressed Ashigaru did not dare to show up.  Akuzawa Iga Mamoru tried to fight back with the archery team in the city. Every time he tried to climb the arrow scull, he was severely damaged. He could only huddle in the city and shoot randomly at the army outside the city. The crude bamboo bow could not shoot far and had poor penetration.  It is strong, the lack of feather tail makes the flight less stable, and it cannot hurt anyone at all.  The high-intensity concentrated fire shooting came to an abrupt end. The iron artillery team needed to take a short rest to clean the gun dirt that was not removed during the short cleaning of the gun brush. This is related to the life of an iron cannon. Every iron cannon  Ashigaru must undergo two years of repeated training to ensure that shooting accuracy, reloading speed, and iron cannon maintenance are all accurate and foolproof.  Not only that, as an iron cannon general, he has a precise grasp of the psychological adjustment of combat. As Nagao Kagetora's younger brother, the 27-year-old Kanezu Torayoshi studied with the Kira family iron cannon Takigawa Masashige for three years, starting from the basics.  Comprehensive study of various items such as the command of iron artillery, the ability to judge and grasp the situation, the skills of terrain and iron artillery formation, soothing and boosting morale, etc. This was a plan made a few years ago, and now is the time to test the results.  "Bang bang bang" The Otote Gate of Wulantian City was hit. The solid wooden gate was shaking violently. In the flying dust, the whole gate seemed to be silently telling the pain. Time and time again, the fire was set to turn the Otote Gate to the end.  The little defense was gone, and the slanting rain of bullets penetrated the shattered wooden boards and hit the head of the ashigaru behind the Otemon who was holding the door tightly. ? Red blood and white unknown objects splashed on the face of a young samurai.Above, the young man wearing a simple armor and without a throat chakra was stunned. A few seconds later, a fatal bullet unfortunately passed through the gap and hit the samurai's head, knocking him off.  Half a head.  The endless concentrated fire bombardment of iron artillery seemed to be playing an unknown piece of music. The iron artillery team unknowingly advanced to thirty meters, twenty-five meters, and twenty meters. The closer the distance, the more powerful the firepower. The young  The iron cannon general insisted on using the first battle to scare all the unruly people. He wanted to use the iron cannon to make them realize that the Nagao family was unstoppable.  When the strong Otemon was blasted with several huge gaps, all the Akuzawa Ashigaru troops guarding the Otemon were wiped out. A Nagao family samurai gently pushed open the broken Otemon and discovered that there was something behind the door.  The world turned into a blood-red hell. Dozens of corpses were in disrepair. Some Ashigaru had been shot more than a dozen times. There were bleeding holes all over their bodies. They were like a deflated doll, which was just a puddle of blood and minced meat.  .  A quarter of an hour later, Akuzawa Castle surrendered. The desperate Akuzawa Iga Mamoru committed seppuku in exchange for the right of survival for the entire clan. This battle knocked out the spirit of the Kurokawa clan, and soon the Kurokawa clan's Matsushima, Takakusagi, and Akuzu clans  The Sawa clan and other people from the country surrendered one after another, and the rebellion in Higashi Ueno ended in less than two days.  While Nagao Kagetora swept across Higashi Ueno, the Hojo family in the direction of Nishi Ueno was not idle. After learning the exact news of Nagao Kagetora's attack on Higashi Ueno, early the next morning, the wily Hojo Ujiyasu immediately sent out surrender troops.  The Ueno clan, led by the Shirakura clan, the Kuragano clan, the Naba clan, and the Akai clan, launched an attack on Shimana Castle to test the will of the temporary commander of the Nagao Army to resist.  However, he soon realized that he had guessed something wrong. Saito Asanobu unambiguously led three thousand troops, easily defeated Hojo's leading party with extremely violent cluster attack tactics, and captured Shirakura Michisa and Kuraga alive.  He went wild and defeated the main rebel forces such as Somoto Naha, Teruyasu Akai, and Hidenobu Tomioka in one fell swoop.  Another day later, the angry Hojo Ujiyasu decided to personally lead an army to conquer Shimaina Castle. Saito Asanobu immediately entered Shimaina Castle and started a cage battle. Thirty thousand troops surrounded Shimaina Castle and attacked for a whole day to no avail. Seeing Nagano Yamasa.  Leading the army to come to the rescue, Hojo Uyasu immediately changed his strategy and sent Hojo Tsunari to lead eight thousand troops to attack the Nagano army. The main force still attacked Shimana Castle.  Nagano is hurriedly leading his army to help fight against the Hojo family. Hojo Ujiyasu's strategy is correct and implemented in place. The problem is that he selectively forgets the two thousand Etsuki reserves guarding Mabashi City. Hojo Takahiro  , Honjo Shigenaga, and Kurokawa Kiyomizu rushed towards Hojo Tsunagi's flank with endless anger.  Hojo Takahiro was in a very high mood. He just wanted to show off his skills but was ignored. He angrily cursed: "The Hojo family is arrogant! It is extremely disgusting to treat me as equal!" Kurokawa Kiyomi also echoed: "  You must teach them a lesson! " "When you find that you cannot defeat the enemy, attacking the flank is usually the best way War is about perseverance and patience. Whoever is more tenacious and patient is the winner No one  Able to withstand attacks from both sides!" Honjo Shimonaga repeated these words, smacking his lips and admiring Kiragi's foresight.  "Why are you so distracted! Didn't you just grin at the coloring department repair hall? Why are you distracted now!" Honjo Shigenaga suddenly said unhappily: "I am also Echizenden! I am a famous general in Echigo.  , You must respect me!" "Let's wait until the stubble grows!" Hojo Takahiro curled his lips and shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, target the Hojo Army!" (To be continued, please search for Piaotian Literature!  , the novel is better and updated faster!
