Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Yamato Seito's words were only halfway through before many clan retainers reacted. The significance of Hojo Ujiyasu's choice was far more complicated than imagined. The most obvious one was that the Izu clan sent 3,000 troops, accounting for about half of the total strength of the junior high school.  , as long as the Takeda family and the Kira family do not plan to invade Izu, the remaining three thousand people are enough to defend the security of Izu country.  Secondly, the more profound thing is to tell the clan retainers not to get into trouble. If you have more than 3,000 people, you may not be able to defend the aggressive Kira army. If you have less than 3,000 people, you may not be able to withstand Echigo's all-out invasion. The key to resisting the invasion is  It depends on the family governor's ability to grasp the overall situation and the execution strength of the family retainers group, not on this mere coalition of 3,000 Chinese people.  Under the mobilization of Hojo Ujiyasu, the war machine of the Hojo family quickly started to operate. Within a few days, the three thousand troops of the Izu Kingdom set off to enter Suruga Country's Kadong County. This was the point of the Kadong chaos more than ten years ago.  , entering Suruga Country again in another way after many years, I wonder what the Hojo Army will think at this moment.  When the news came that the Hojo Army was sending troops to intervene in Suruga Kingdom, Terutora Uesugi in Otake Castle of Musashi Province immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity and immediately held a military meeting. As the general of this expedition, he also shouldered the responsibility of the military representative.  , Kira Yoshishi, the family governor made it clear that he would sit in the rear and hold the battle for him, and Uesugi Teruhu did not hesitate to use the power of the general to announce the battle.  The 45,000-strong army turned into a long black dragon, and rushed out like a group of wild horses. That morning, Hojo Tsunasei, who was guarding Hachiko Castle, received emergency reports from all directions one after another.  There was no movement, and the several groups of detectives sent out were like pebbles thrown into the sea without a trace.  "Uncle! What should we do!" Hojo Clan walked around anxiously.  It started with a series of unfavorable intelligence received in the morning.  He has been circling here for almost two hours.  As the deputy general of this 8,000-man garrison, Hakkake Castle is as important to him as the first battle in his life. If he defends this place, he can be promoted to the Lord of Hakkake Castle. If he cannot hold it, he will have to go back to Odawara Castle to continue.  Be a young man.  The young Hojo Ujikuni is the fourth son of Hojo Ujiyasu. He happens to be the same 21-year-old as Kira Yoshi. Compared with Kira Yoshi, who is deep, old-fashioned and as powerful as a monster, his impatience and hurried behavior are more in line with the situation.  A young samurai of this age group.  His nervousness corresponded to the chaos in the city. The eight thousand defenders were completely unaware of the current changes in the situation in Musashi Country and fell into chaos.  After all, Hojo Tsusunari was a proven battlefield general. After a brief pause, he said: "What a clever way to use the powerful military strength to clear out the branch cities around Habitat City, so that the eight thousand defenders in Habitat City can gain access."  Without a single piece of information, I was completely turned into a deaf and blind man, forcing me to hide in Hagata Castle and wait for death. Is this Uesugi Danmasa¡¯s military strategy and Sanada Danmasa¡¯s ingenuity? It¡¯s really terrible.¡± The Hojo Clan does not have Hojo Tsuna after all!  Cheng was so calm and stressed anxiously: "Uncle! This is not the time to sigh about military strategies! What should we do? If this continues, the morale of the military will be shaken!" The Hojo Clan is not stupid at all, or in this era.  There are too few examples of tiger father and dog son.  Even though Hojo Ujiyasu's sons are generally not as capable as their father, as a young samurai who grew up in the military.  He is still very aware of the importance of military morale to an army. If the military morale is unstable and it goes into battle rashly, it will be defeated.  Hojo Tsunari said: "There is no other way but to wait until the situation changes." "Wait? Waiting like this will damage morale!" "Wait! Keep waiting! The movement of the enemy's main force is unknown, no matter what  No matter how we move, it will be a wrong choice, and the more we do, the more mistakes we make. It is better to be still than to move. Wait!" Hojo Tsunari sent his nephew away in a few words. Seeing that Hojo Ujikuni had no choice but to retreat in dismay.  On the surface, Hojo Tsunari was calm and unfazed. In fact, he was more anxious than the Hojo clan. However, the situation in front of his younger nephew was useless no matter how urgent it was. Uesugi Teruhora made up his mind to use this force to go up.  Using his advantage to set a trap, he was waiting for the defenders in Bo Xing City to take the lead in taking action. He could be sure that as long as he moved, a series of blows would inevitably follow.  Hojo Tsusuna sighed and said weakly: "But what can I do if I don't move?" In Sugiyama Castle not far away, Uesugi Teruhora looked at the quiet Habitat Castle and said: "Hojo Kamisuke still endured it, but the shrinkage  What can we do in Hatagata Castle? Leaving eight thousand troops without moving gives our army an opportunity to advance. This strategy was used wrongly by Hojo Kamisuke!  Go out into battle to meet the invading enemy! "" Danshoden is famous in Kanto for his bravery and fighting ability. Although Hojo Kamisuden is a brave general, his military strategy is still far inferior to Danshoden.  Movement is a good thing for our army, why not take advantage of this opportunity??Sweeping North Musashi forced Hojo Kamisuke to lead troops into battle. As long as he moved, he would be able to defeat him.  "    "oh?  Do you have any new ideas for Sanada Tanshoden?  Uesugi Teruhora thought for a while and said, "Surround the area to bring reinforcements or move the tiger away from the mountain?"  " Sanada Yukitaka said: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain!  This is the only way to deal with the Hojo Army, especially when the main force of the Hojo Army does not dare to come out to attack. As long as it takes this force, the Hojo Army will be forced to abandon Musashi Country, so this battle must be a big one.  If the battle is won, the rest will be left to the main hall.  " That evening, Uesugi Teruhora led an army of 5,000 troops to raid Kokura Castle, and then surrounded Matsuyama Castle the next day. Three thousand Matsuyama soldiers led by Towa Ujisuo guarded Matsuyama Castle and called for help from several directions overnight.  The rest of the Kira Army divided into several groups to attack everywhere. For a time, both Ninja Castle and Kawagoe Castle were raided by the Kira Army. The entire North Musashi was suddenly swept into a fire. Daidoji Masashige, who had just returned to Kawagoe Castle, was guarding.  He hurriedly wrote to Odawara and Hatagata Castle for help. At least there was a reply from Odawara to reassure him to stick to the city and tell him not to abandon the city until it was absolutely necessary. This probably meant that he should escape as a last resort.  Even the governor of Hojo Ushimasa had no confidence, let alone the frontline garrison and garrison. With the invasion of Kira Army, many Hojo samurai regained their fighting spirit in the panic of the siege of the Hojo family.  The samurai persisted with their tenacious perseverance. They did not give up hope and still looked forward to the moment when the Kira army retreated. Kira Yoshitoshi, who was sitting in Hirai Castle, just smiled softly at the latest information sent: "The Hojo army probably thought that he would.  You can hold on, but you don't know that Yu is completely different from the Kanto leader in history. He will not let you defend the city without retreating. How can you establish the authority of Kanto if you don't conquer Musashi Country.  " He still remembered that it was also the fourth year of Eiroku (1561). In another time and space, the eight thousand tigers of the Echigo Army rushed into Kantš­ under the leadership of Uesugi Teruhora. They found that the troops were insufficient and had to be led by Kantš­.  In the name of summoning the Kanto Allied Forces to jointly attack Odawara Castle, his choice was to abandon the Hojo Army that was defending Musashi Province and Sagami and focus on Odawara Castle. It was a pity that the short life of the Sagami Hojo clan would be ended by the capture of Odawara.  The idealist faced a fruitless siege under Odawara Castle. The chaos and ulterior motives of the people in the Kanto Kingdom destined him to a defeat. The Hojo Army guarding various parts of the Musashi Kingdom and Sagami Country was the biggest cornerstone of the Hojo family's comeback.  , Sure enough, it didn¡¯t take long before he had to retreat in dismay. The background was different and the situation was naturally different. Kira Yoshi was not afraid of the Hojo family¡¯s iron barrel formation tactics. He was confident of opening a gap in the Hojo family¡¯s iron barrel formation and tearing it apart.  Breaking apart their proud defense system, he believed that under the irreversible trend, Hojo Ujiyasu would definitely reap the bitter fruit of his carefully tailored failure. Facts have proved that Kira Yoshitoki's judgment was correct in the half-month-long rapid progress.  The lord of Ninja Castle, Narita Choyasu, was the first to surrender and stir up the rebellion of the Musashi Kingdom's leading party. Then the former lord of Matsuyama Castle, Ueda Asanao, launched a rebellion and suddenly opened the city. Towa Shisui was surprised to find that most of the people in Matsuyama were standing in front of Ueda.  On the Chaozhi side, these rebels almost captured Tohe Shizuo alive, and he had to retreat to the main pill to resist desperately. Seeing that the Kira army outside the city joined the rebels of the Songshan people and rushed into the city, this Tohe Shizuo's political skills as the city lord.  It wasn't great, but the escape route he arranged for himself was first-rate. After discovering that the Hojo family was no match for the Kira family in the Takayama Battle two years ago, he secretly built a secret passage in Matsuyama Castle for convenience.  When the army was besieging them, they fled. Knowing that the situation was over, Tohe Shizuo escaped from the secret passage with his family and a small number of cronies. As soon as he ran away, the stubborn Songshan people in Honmaru were pushed to the edge of the cliff. There were several of these unlucky warriors.  Those who stood in front and reacted slowly were killed on the spot. Those who huddled behind saw that something was wrong and couldn't find the city lord, so they hurriedly surrendered. Kira's army easily captured this important town of Kitamusashi with a small loss, which foreshadowed the outcome of this war.  The trend began to turn against the Hojo family. With a series of military victories by the Kira Army, the Hojo Army successfully broke the Hojo Army's illusion of persisting in resistance to the end. The Hojo Tsuna in Habitat Castle fell into contradictions, and letters and missions for help came one after another.  The various bad news brought by Ban made the defenders in the Bogata Castle more and more anxious and confused. Quarrels and fights broke out from time to time in the city, which meant that the samurai fell into a state of nervousness, anxiety and anger. Even with his lofty prestige, it was a bit overwhelming.  Unable to control the situation, Hojo Clan said anxiously: "Uncle!  My nephew, I beg you to send troops immediately!  Once Kawagoe Castle is lost, half of Musashi will have fallen into the hands of Kira's army. If it continues to be defended like this, the morale of the army will collapse!  The main force of Kira's army is besieging Kawagoe Castle. It is the best time for us to act now!  ¡± Hojo Tsuna¡¯s sigh of growthSaid: "Yes! It's time to take action! If you don't move, there may be no chance. But if you do this, Baoxing City will definitely be lost Order the army to prepare to leave tomorrow, and don't leave a grain of military rations behind! Also!  Please appease the townspeople and don¡¯t rob the townspeople¡¯s property. We will eventually come back!¡± Looking at Hojo Clan Kuniaki¡¯s hurried away figure, Hojo Tsunari had no choice but to prepare for the army¡¯s retreat. His original intention was to wait a little longer!  Look at the situation to figure out the movement pattern of the main force of Kira's army before taking action, but the current situation does not give him any chance at all, not to mention the elusive Uesugi Teruhora's whereabouts, let's just talk about Ueno Kunhirai who is not far away.  The 20,000 troops in the city were enough to give him trouble sleeping and eating.  Hirai Castle is only half a day's journey from Ontake Castle, and it only takes less than a day's journey from Ontake Castle to Matsuyama Castle. Kira Yoshi, who is in charge of Hirai Castle, can reach Habagata Castle in less than two days with just one movement. The speed  Speed ??is not a problem, the problem is that without intelligence support, I don't know whether Kira's army will move.  When should I move and what should I do?  In the words of Yoshitoki Kira, this is a typical information asymmetric war.  What the fight was about was a state in which the Kira Army was completely crushed in terms of intelligence under the premise of various advantages.  A brave general like Hojo Tsusunari has no confidence to persevere even if he relies on a fortified city. This shows that the gap between the two sides is so huge that the Hojo family feels desperate.  Hojo Tsunari's bizarre appearance quickly attracted the attention of the Kira ninjas. Not long after the strange action of the Hojo army occurred, Uesugi Terutora at the Kokura Castle on the Taiping Mountains received accurate information and prepared for a long time.  Five thousand troops were waiting to ambush the Hojo Army on the only way southward.  It's just that he didn't expect that Hojo Tsunari would be so vigilant, and even chose to sneak around through the path on the side of Sengen Mountain to the west of Taiping Mountain. This mountain road had been in disrepair for a long time, and as the spring flowers bloomed and the ground thawed, it became very  Mud is usually not used as a marching road.  But Hojo Tsunayoshi really used this inconspicuous mountain road. If the Kira ninja hanging behind didn't deliver the information in time, he would have really deceived the Kira army ambushing on Taiping Mountain.  Uesugi Teruhora received the information and made timely adjustments. He marched southward from Taiping Mountain to catch up with the troops from Hojo Tsuna Castle before rushing to Tabami Castle. He rushed to station himself at Enmeiji Temple outside Tabami Castle. He followed the plan he discussed with Yukitaka Sanada.  According to the plan, dozens of horse-riding warriors disguised as envoys were sent to Tianbomu Castle to request reinforcements. The master of Tianbomu Castle, Tanimoto Shige, was tricked into coming out and captured.  Tabami Castle became a new city of the Kira Army in just a moment. The mayor of Tabami Castle, Shige Tanimoto, and his gang were imprisoned in the Iwaguchi Shrine outside the city. Only 500 Kira Army members were left in the city disguised as the Hojo Army as usual.  garrison.  The remaining 4,500 Kira troops led by Uesugi Teruhora are still sitting at Enmeiji Temple, waiting for work.  That afternoon, Hojo Tsunari brought the tired and hungry Hojo army to Tabami Castle to stay. Hojo Tsunari felt strange when he saw Shigeri Sugaya greeting the army unnaturally.  So he asked, "Huh? Why didn't you see Sukuya Uheiden? I've missed you so much since the first day of the new year!" "Wellmy brother is not feeling well and is recuperating in the castle. I'm coming down to greet Usukeden." Sukaya  Shigeri stuttered and said: "Please go to Susukeden and Anfangshuden to rest in the city. I have prepared a bath and a banquet for you two. It will be held soon." The Hojo clan rode on a war horse for a whole day.  I was overjoyed when I heard the news, "Really? That's great! Let's go in quickly! I'm so weak now that I just want to eat a big meal and then take a bath and have a good sleep!" "Yes! I can't wait for lunch.  We didn¡¯t even have time to eat, but we are all hungry now!¡± The samurai of the Hojo Army also relaxed and whispered, and after a while they entered Tianbame Castle under the leadership of Shigeri Sugaya and relaxed when they arrived at their destination.  It is human nature to come down, but this common thing is very dangerous.  But Hojo Tsunari stood still. He frowned and pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Wait! Something seems wrong! How did Sutaniden know that our army was marching here, and how did he prepare the bath and banquet in advance?  "I didn't send an envoy to contact you. Where did you get the news?" "Oops! I let it slip!" Shigeri secretly cursed himself, and when he turned around, he saw the Hojo army in the city.  The Kira Army samurai suddenly drew out his sword and slashed at the Hojo Army beside him. Nagao Keuchika shouted: "Send the signal! Act immediately!" "Kill!" The short word revealed Kira Army's identity, and the Kira family samurai immediately  The cyan camouflage on his body was torn off, revealing the black Kojima leaf and the white Ashikaga Futiki family crest. The Hojo clan felt extremely humiliated and angry after being fooled. He drew his sword and shouted angrily: "Death to the evil thief of the Kira family!  " Hojo Tsunari secretly cursed himself for being too careless. He even forgot that the Kira family was best at using deceit and conspiracy, and at the same time commanded the military forces in the city to organize a rebellion.?, while forcing the Hojo army blocked outside the city to immediately climb the city. If they were blocked outside Tianbame City without support at this time, they would really be doomed that night.  Suddenly a firecracker exploded at the top of the city, and the next moment the Kira troops from the woods on both sides of the Otemon gate suddenly came out. Hojo Tsusunari's expression changed drastically and he immediately ordered the Hojo troops outside the city to turn around and attack the enemy. However, this delay caused the entire formation to collapse.  It became a mess, Hojo Tsunari felt angry in his heart but could do nothing.  At this time, the gap in morale was highlighted. The Kira army was ready to work and eat well, which made it full of morale and strong will to fight. However, the Hojo army dragged the small load team and trudged in the mountains for a whole day. They were frightened, tired and hungry.  Unable to exert even 60% of their basic combat power, the Hojo Army, which was in an uneven formation, had low morale, was tired and hungry, had no confidence in resisting the Kira Army's attack.  Matashiro Arakawa pulled his reins, widened his eyes and shouted: "General, run away! Flee back to Odawara and bring reinforcements to avenge us!" "Escape? Where will I run? Is it possible for the clan to escape while it is still trapped in the city?  Come out, I, Tsunade, have been entrusted by my lord to take care of him. If something goes wrong in my clan, how can I have the dignity to escape back to Odawara Castle?" Hojo Tsunari sighed and said, "It seems that today is my last day.  !¡±
