56. The East Kingdom stands on three legs
The Eight Prince's city was flocking with flags and 15,000 troops surrounded them on all sides. They were determined to break through the city and kill Takeda Yoshinobu to return.
The city is still the same city, but the people who guard it are not the ones who united in the past!
As soon as the Hosokawa Kamika arrived, the people of the Hayao prince cheered and said that the son of the Arakumi Doctor was here and the Hayao prince came to save the people. Not only did they carry pots to welcome the king's army, but they also spontaneously armed and went to the camp of the Yamauchi Army to listen.
Who doesn’t know that Takeda Yoshinobu only breaths a sigh of relief. There are eight prince farmers in the city who try their best to surrender. Everyone misses the warm embrace of the Yamauchi home, like a long drought and a long time to look forward to the rain.
There is actually no need to defend such a city. No matter how strong the castle is, people will still need to guard it. Just because of the hundreds of panic soldiers in Takeda Yoshinobu and hundreds of farmers who just want to run away, it is really meaningless to face the Yamauchi army that is waiting for 15,000.
The only thing Takeda Yoshinobu could expect was the reinforcements from the Hojo clan. The Hojo army could come, and the Eighth Prince could continue to save them. Unfortunately, when the Hojo reinforcements did not come, the reinforcements from Yamau continued to arrive.
Konishihara Saemon and Hosokawa Kazuno did not launch an attack immediately, set up a camp, pushed the cannons to the front of the city, and could not hit Honmaru on the hillside. The Imperman on the bottom of the hillside was still simple and easy.
The five-wheeled cannons were completely destroyed. No matter how loyal the Takeda army was, they knew that they could not eat shells based on their bodies. They all ran to the top of the mountain. The farmers who were captured ran away directly, and the Takeda army, who had collapsed two or three hundred times, also surrendered.
In the end, there were only three or four hundred people left in Hachinoko Honmaru and he had no ability to resist at all.
Sanada Nobutsu, who had made meritorious service, rushed forward to attack the city without saying a word. Sanada Masahiro and Muto Kibu-ei, who were still guarding the city, opened the city gate and welcomed Yamauchi's army into the city.
If you say that these two people are unfaithful, you can't say that they are unfaithful. They protect Takeda Yoshinobu all the way from Uehara Castle to the Eighth Prince, and never leave them, and they are considered loyal. So many Takeda's genealogy warriors have escaped, and even the former relatives surrendered. Only then did this happen, and there is nothing to say.
Of course, at this point, the impact will definitely be worse. Takeda Bing, who had the courage to kill himself and died together, had the string in his heart tense, but was suddenly cut off by someone.
The human aura immediately blew up, and most of them knelt on the ground and slaughtered. In the end, thirty or forty soldiers protected Takeda Yoshinobu and hid in Tianshou, and soon the entire Tianshou ignited a raging fire.
Big Bear, the former guard Asuhide, the Hayato Yumatsu, the Imato Masato and others struggled outside the Tianshou to block the Yamauchi Army who tried to enter Tianshou to seize Takeda Yoshinobu's head.
In the end, all the members died in battle, and Takeda Yoshinobu also transformed into the sea of fire at the age of 32.
The city is broken!
People die!
The country is destroyed!
In the afternoon, the news reached the Hojo and Uesugi military camps in front of Matsuyama Castle. The Hojo clan could only sigh, and Uesugi Kenshi immediately agreed to the Hojo clan's collaboration. The two sides once again used the Liego River as the border to divide the sphere of influence in the northern part of Musashi's country.
The Hojo family had no choice but to disband most of the peasant soldiers who had fought for more than one month, and accepted the defeat of Takeda. Hojo fell into the cruel situation of encirclement on all sides and retreated to Odawara.
Kenshino Uesugi moved his troops to the lower wing, restored the authority of Kanto's governor in Shimoto's country, and allowed all pro-Hojo forces to withdraw from Shimoto, stabilizing the Utsumiya clan, Yoshiga clan, Rensheng clan, Nasu clan and other daimyo names.
This time, the Yamauchi family did not need to stay in the general of Hachinozi. Kafai was behind him. Once something happened, reinforcements would arrive soon. Leave a member of the Hachimoto and five hundred soldiers here to monitor the movements of the Hojo clan.
Seeing that the Takeda family had finished playing, Hojo Nao still took the opportunity to swallow the Sagami Tsukui place that had been ceded to Takeda Shingen, quietly, and swallowed the last afterglow of Takeda.
The power of the Eastern Kingdom quickly reshuffled in a short period of time, almost completely transforming into a three-legged situation. Moreover, what is very different from the Three Kingdoms is that the three-legged people are now known as Uesugiyama. Even though Hojo is a great country with a land of 400,000 yuan, it is hard to say that with a territory of 400,000 yuan.
…………
"Where is the head of Takeda Katsuki?"
"What about the remains even if there is no head?"
Hosokawa Kazuno sat down and told everyone about the story of the Eighth Prince's battle and the results. At the end, Takeda Yoshinobu split himself by himself and committed suicide by separating himself, everyone asked questions.
After all, everything else is all intricate, and it is not an urgent task to conquer the Eight Prince. It is true that Yoshinobu Takeda's banner fell completely.
"Along with the fire, everything in Honmaru Tenmori turned into ashes, and no one was found."
"It must be confirmed that Takeda Kakai is dead?" Yamauchi's plan seemed a little anxious.
"It should be good. The captured defeated soldiers are also called Takeda Kamaki and they never appeared again after entering Tianshou."
"The Eight Prince is surrounded by ten sides, and there is a lonely mountain. I can't expect to escape!" Hosokawa Haruma has been working in Hayaozi Castle for many years. He remembers all the grass and trees around the Eight Prince clearly.
As for other heads, the samurai warriors in the Yamauchi family had no intention of confirming them one by one. After recording the meritorious deeds, they could reward them as usual.
Apart from this matter, there is nothing bigger to discuss. Today's meeting of the senators ended here, and everyone went back to their own houses and was busy with their own affairs. Yamauchi Taro continued to attend classes at Kuikawa Shaoqi, and Koheita continued to return to the Investigation and Persistence Office.
In the past, everyone walked out casually, without any fixed order or shift. After all, the identities of nine people were theoretically equal, one person, one vote.
Now, Yamauchi Taro was the first to leave, surrounded by several nearby groups. Then Yamauchi's planner would stand up impatiently, snatch the front of everyone, and be the first to leave. As for the others, whether intentionally or unintentionally, Koheita would be the second to go out.
At first, everyone would walk in groups of three or three while talking about private matters, or chatting about weather or other things. Now they are all one by one, silent and stride out.
Unless there is something particularly important or that requires coordination, there are few cases where two people leave one by one.
On the surface, they are naturally harmonious, but they are separated by a layer of love.
When he walked to the city, he met a familiar person. The man ran up and greeted Xiaopingta.
"Pull it right!"
"You are Shinjiro, are you?" Xiaoheta had a little bit of a shallow impression. This seemed to be the Aokai Satsutsuka of the Sanhezhong.
"Yes, yes, I'll present the battle report for Yoshidadian this time."
"Ise? Oda's play is playing? "
"The Great Hanoi City has been conquered and is entering the Imperial Hall of Fog Mountain!"
