The Togoku drama is still being performed. Shortly after the autumn harvest last year, several battles were fought in Kanto. Among them, two battles broke out in three months over the ownership of Edo Castle. Hojo Uji Yasuyuki
Successive victories dampened the morale of the Kwantung Allied Forces, and then before the winter began, a carefully planned Kawagoe Battle was planned at Kawagoe Castle to encircle the point and mobilize reinforcements.
Hojo Ujiyasu suddenly surrounded Kawagoe Castle with 8,000 light cavalry. When the Kanto people hurriedly organized a 35,000-strong army to attack, he also used 6,000 troops to attack the Kanto Allied Forces from behind. The two-phase attack defeated the Kanto people.
.
Such a crazy plan could only be accomplished by the lunatic Hojo Ujiyasu, and not only did he do it, but he also succeeded in doing it. The allied forces of the three countries were defeated, and Uesugi Kensei, who had been playing soy sauce, was almost beaten by the Hojo family.
The samurai was captured alive, and for a while the people of Kanto feared that the terrifying guy whom Kawagoe fought at night was back.
Just when the Hojo family was about to wipe out the invading Kanto Allied Forces in one go, Nagano Yomasa, the head of the Nishijono clan and the leader of eight thousand troops, suddenly made an effort to turn the tide. The Yachiro party under his command burst out with powerful combat effectiveness.
In one fell swoop, several of the Hojo family's reserve troops were defeated and collapsed, and the troops were pressed all the way to Hojo Ujiyasu's main formation.
If it weren't for Dihuo Hachiman and Hojo Tsunagi who desperately came back to stop Nagano Yasumasa's brutal assault, it's hard to say whether Hojo Ujiyasu would have made it back alive. In this battle, Nagano Yasumasa and his subordinates, the Shoshu Sixteen Guns, stole the show.
The leader of the spear, Dahu Xiutsuna, performed particularly eye-catchingly, killing several fierce generals of the Hojo family with spear and bayonet chop along the way.
That is to say, the reserve force he led forced into Hojo Ujiyasu's main formation. Later, he briefly fought with Hojo Tsunari in the rebellious army without deciding the outcome. With the help of the people of Nishi Ueno Province, he stubbornly contained the Hojo family's offensive and was defeated.
The defeated Kwantung Allied Forces regrouped to fight against the Hojo family. Once the people of the Kanto nation calmed down, Hojo felt powerless again.
Just when the balance of victory seemed to be falling for the people of the Kwantung Kingdom, news of Kaesong's surrender suddenly came to Kawagoe Castle. This made the Kwantung Allied Forces lose confidence. More than 4,000 corpses were thrown away on both sides before announcing this.
The battle ended with a narrow victory for the Hojo family.
The Hojo family finally recaptured Kawagoe Castle, which had been lost for more than a year, but Hojo Ujiyasu also paid the price for his miscalculation. A wave of assaults by the people of Nishi Ueno Country almost caused the Hojo army to collapse. Fortunately, he was lurking in Kawagoe Castle.
The traitor seized control of the city gate at the right time, and then the samurai of the Hojo family rushed to attack Otemon and pulled out the bamboo bird pattern of the Uesugi family. The three-scale pattern flying everywhere frightened the Kanto Allied Forces and gave him the last laugh.
In fact, Kawagoe Castle had not fallen at that time, and the Hojo family's troops had only attacked the side of Kawagoe. He used this dangerous and dangerous strategy to deceive the 30,000-strong army on the opposite side into retreating, and finally managed to maintain victory.
Yoshitoki Kira admired his military strategy very much. He was worthy of being the Lion of Sagami, Hojo Ujiyasu. Without the support of allies, he could tenaciously repel the attacks of the Kanto Allied Forces. He also used tricks to recapture two important branch cities that had been lost.
With this, it would be difficult to even count the number of people who can rival him in Japan.
Hojo Ujiyasu won, but Takeda Harunobu lost. When he was chasing away the clown Ogasawara Naga, he turned around and ran into Toishi Castle. I have to say that he really missed it. He wanted to rush to the first game in late autumn.
Before the heavy snow came, Murakami Yoshikiyo was caught off guard, but in turn it gave him a heavy blow.
At this time, Murakami Yoshikiyo was confronting Takanashi Masayori who was further north. He had no idea that Takeda Harunobu, who was killing and robbing in Kanto, would come and beat him. When Takeda Harunobu ran all the way and led to a huge sum of money passing through Kanto, Kai, he drove him away in one fell swoop.
After Shinano jumped up and down for a long time, Ogasawara climbed over the mountains and ridges to reach the front of Toishi Castle. Such a rapid advance was indeed beyond Murakami Yoshikiyo's expectations.
Sun Tzu said: Take the unexpected and attack the unprepared. Takeda Harunobu was indeed right to do so, but he still forgot a taboo of military strategists, that is, the division and veteran soldiers are tired, and the day of death is coming.
The Takeda Army had just fought fiercely in Kanto for nearly a summer. They returned to Kofu without resting for a few days and rushed all the way to Shinano to kill chickens and chase dogs. The only supplement was 2,500 new soldiers. The new soldiers were energetic but lacked experience. The veterans had experience.
Rich but exhausted. Besides, more than 1,000 people died out of 5,000 in the whole summer. Even if 2,500 new recruits were added, it would only be just over 6,000. This combination of old and new is theoretically not wrong, but he will lose.
Just bow to this point.
The soldiers who were tired from the long battle had no intention of teaching the new recruits how to fight jointly. Under the leadership of Takeda Harunobu, they ran to Kitashinano like crazy and launched a surprise attack on Toishi Castle but failed. They already noticed the fatigue highlighted in the military, but
He still chose to persist in the attack. In the next six days, the number of casualties increased steadily, and Takeda Harunobu also attacked with all his strength as if he was possessed.
The Takeda family paid a heavy price in these six days. Yokota Takamatsu and Oyamada Nobuyu died in battle, with a total casualty of more than 500 people. Takeda Harunobu underestimated the tenacity of the Toishi Castle defenders and could not even imagine that the five people in the Toishi Castle opposite
Where did the hundred defenders come from? Most of the five hundred defenders were the remnants of Shiga Castle who escaped before the massacre in the Odaihara battle. These people were willing to pay any price for revenge.
When six precious days passed, Murakami Yoshikiyo and Takanashi Masayori reached an agreement and hurried back with two thousand soldiers and horses. The two thousand Murakami army, who was furious, met the Takeda army, who was tired from the long battle, and they collided headlong.
Going up to it triggered the total collapse of the Takeda Army. The Koshu Army, which was invincible in the past, was like a seedling exposed to the scorching sun for many days, falling apart at the slightest touch.
Takeda Harunobu never dreamed that the situation would turn out like this. He hurriedly threw out the Kagemusha to attract the attention of Murakami Yoshikiyo. He took off his armor and pretended to be an ordinary samurai and fled under the escort of his retainers. The Takeda army who lost his command was like a helpless man.
They were scurrying around like flies on their heads, which became the show time for the Murakami Army's wanton pursuit. In this battle, the Takeda Army once again killed 2,300 people, and more than one-third of them were killed.
Among the Takeda clan, Imai Nobumasa, Kurihara Nobutomo, and Kurihara Masaaki brothers were killed in the battle. The Shodai clan leader, Tsuno Masatada, and Sugine Toranaga, were killed in the battle. Takeda family's ashigaru generals, Tada Mitsurui, Hara Huin and others were injured.
This ghost Meinong is really a rotten-skinned general. He is injured in almost every fierce battle, but he survives every time. It is really a living miracle.
After the victory, Murakami Yoshikiyo specially asked the remnants of Shiga Castle to build a kyokan with their own hands in retaliation for Takeda Harunobu's brutal treatment of them three years ago. Due to the impact of this victory, the wind direction of the entire Northern Shinano was
As a result, the originally shaken Shinano people once again stood against Takeda, including Mochizuki, Nezu and other people who had surrendered.
Because of the huge losses in Ichigen, Takeda Harunobu suffered a huge blow this time. He began to build a defensive offensive in Kofu suspiciously, while he hid in the arms of Mrs. Sanjo and licked his wounds. At this time, an unknown person
Yukitaka Sanada, the lost samurai of Shinano, became active as a member of the inconspicuous Shinano sect of the Takeda family.
In the same way, new news came from the Imagawa family, one of the three alliances of Shun Koso, that Owari's Oda Nobuhide was defeated again. He had no idea that the Imagawa family on the opposite side had changed their general, and he recklessly took Owari with him.
The Chinese people ran into the main force of the Imagawa family, and then were hit head-on by Taiyuan Xuezhai who came back to the army, and they lost their armor and armor.
It is said that Oda Nobuhide, who had been defeated in a row, fell seriously ill after returning to Owari, angry and anxious, and he still couldn't afford it. There were rumors that he had an infectious disease, and some said that he was haunted by evil spirits. Anyway, it looked like this
Owari no Tora didn't live long, but his son, the big fool of Owari, was still wandering around Na Furuno with his friends, and from time to time he went to Iwakura Castle and Seiju Castle to set fire to the castle town.
He jumped, and then his good teacher Masahide Hirate wiped his butt.
It is said that Imagawa Yoshimoto received a new title, the Giant of Tokaido. It is also said that he is the No. 1 archer of the East China Sea. Anyway, he always looks arrogant. This Yoshimoto started his ambitious rectification plan to establish a stronghold in the territory.
The country's legal system must be unified, the power of the Mikawa Kingdom must be gradually digested, the ties with the court and the shogunate must be strengthened, his family status and reputation must be improved, and the path to power must be paved for his son, who is a genius at Cuju.
Kira Yoshitoki looked at the newly sent information with a ridiculous expression, smacked his lips and said: "Imagawa Yoshimoto is only in his thirties, right? He has only been in power for more than ten years and he started to build bridges and pave the way for his son, and his son
Imagawa is really only three years older than me, right? He got married last year? There will be no problem with this news, right?"
"I guarantee that there will be absolutely no problem!"
"Don't be so serious. I'm just asking." A teenager can get married if he doesn't know anything... Anyway, he feels that getting married so early will not be very happy, and he will not get married so early.
Not to mention having a child so early. When the child gets older, the family governor has to give up his position to raise the next generation. Even if you don't give up your position, the retainers will automatically support your son's rise to power. This is the rhythm of the tragedy of hardship.
