different warring states of japan

Chapter 997

The Uesugi family and the Hojo family joined forces to resolve the dispute over the true and false Kanto leadership.The samurai family's way of life is very realistic, whoever loses is the fake Kanto leader.

However, the Kanto Office in the Echigo army formation belongs to General Ashikaga's forces.Ashikaga Yoshishi asked himself to deal with the Kanto servants, hoping to gain political points.

When you become a general of Kanto, you will be at odds with General Ashikaga.This is the political correctness of the Kamakura Ashikaga family, which is very good for stabilizing the status of Ashikaga Yoshiji.

From the standpoint of the Hojo clan's administration, letting General Kanto fight General Ashikaga also relieved his own political pressure.

After all, the Ise girl comes from the Ise family in Kyoto. Although she changed her name to Hojo, some things are not convenient to do directly, and it is easy to be poked in the back.

Let Ashikaga Yoshishi, the Kwantung general, deal with Shiba Yoshigin, the Imperial Palace, can take the Hojo family out of the pressure of public opinion.

Hojo Shizheng nodded and agreed.

"Kamakura-den intends to solve the Ashikaga family's own affairs, and I can't stop it, so please do it yourself.

According to the news from Fumonin, the concubines of the Kanto servants were stationed on the northern front, and most of them were on the left flank of the Echigo army during the war.

Then please deploy your defenses on the right wing of our army and confront it tit for tat. "

The Hojo army is deployed from east to west, with the left wing in the south and the right wing in the north, which is exactly the opposite of the Echigo army.

As for Terotora Uesugi's arrangement of the Kanto Servant on the northern route, Hojo Shizheng didn't think too much about conspiracy theories, nor did he think that the Kanto Servant was hiding any tricks, because the southern route was more important.

At the end of the southern line is the Watarase River. Once the battle line is defeated, the victor's army will crush and drive away the defeated. It is easy to drive into the river, trampling and drowning countless people.

Therefore, the southern line must be an elite army.The plain is narrow, and the formation also needs to be guarded by heavy troops, and the center line cannot lack the backbone.

In this way, the northern front will of course be relatively weak, and some troops with weak combat capabilities will be released.In Hojo's view, the Kanto Service Office is the underdog in Echigo's army and should be placed on the northern line.

Although Ashikaga Yoshiji had his own independent army, his combat power was mediocre in Hojo's army, and he couldn't bear the heavy burden.

Throw her to the northern front, and fight against the samurai of the Guandong servants, and the rookies on both sides peck at each other.It does not affect the overall situation, and it can add points politically. Why not do it?

Ashikaga Yoshimi thanked Hojo Ujimasa with a smile, and stopped talking.She thought about the harvest after this victory, and she felt very happy.

Seeing that she was satisfied, the Hojo clan smiled slightly and continued to arrange the battle formation.

"Tominaga Yasuke, the left wing is led by you. The Edo people, the Matsuyama people, the Takiyama people, the Tsukui people and the Musashi Sagami people are under your control."

"Hi!"

Although the samurai families arranged by the Hojo Clan on the southern line were elite, except for Tominaga Yasuke and Tone Tsunakage, the rest of the leaders were descendants.

Ota Yasuko of Edo Castle, Ueda Asao of Matsuyama Castle, Oishi Kusada of Takiyama Castle, Uito Yasuyuki of Tsukui Castle, etc. These people and their affiliated local samurai were once the retainers of the two Uesugi.

A group of Ji warriors, regardless of whether they knew the fear of the Hojo clan's government or not, kowtowed to the ground and took orders.

Minami Musashi and Higashi Sangmo only surrendered to the Hojo family's samurai family in the Hojo Ujiyasu era, and the relationship between them is far away.Even if he is guarded by the master, he will pretend to be confused.

Their backup team is also elite, and their combat power is not weak.The Hojo clan's government asked Tominaga Yasuke to lead the Qingbei to lead the formation, as the supervisor of the army, the purpose was to keep the southern front in order.

"Master Longshan, you and Chibei will go to the right wing to assist the Kamakura Hall, okay?"

Beitiao Longshan had a clear mind, and he simply fell to the ground and took orders.

Hojo Tsunagao entered Daolongshan. She is the elder of the third generation of the Hojo family.Now that he has become a monk, he is not very utilitarian.

The Hojo clan sent her to the right wing, in fact, to act as a safety valve.Because the people under Ashikaga Yoshishi's command are slightly weaker.

In case Terutora Uesugi changes his mind temporarily and arranges a strong army to attack on the northern front, it will take time for the Hojo Clan to dispatch troops from the main line to support it.

With Hojo Ryuzan, a mighty general, on the northern front, the Hojo clan's government can concentrate on the main formation with peace of mind, and implement the tactics of breaking through the central part.

Arranging important officials to stabilize the left and right wings, the Hojo clan said with a wave of pride.

"Xiaojizhong, Yushengzhong, Izuzhong, Chibei, Baibei and other troops, gather with my headquarters and break through from the center!

Isn't the long-tailed traitor clamoring for a joint battle?I will let her get what she wants!
Three days later, I will go with you to meet the Echigo samurai who are known as the champions of Kanto, and see if they are worthy of their name! "

"Hi!"

All the Hojo samurai kowtowed to the ground, with great fighting spirit and high fighting spirit.The Hojo Clan's tactics are actually very simple, that is, to fight hard and fight.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud, five is to attack, and double is to divide.There are [-] Hojo elites, about two and a half times the number of Uesugi Terutoro.

The narrow plain squeezed the space for tactics. The Hojo clan only needed to stabilize the two wings, and then continue to attack the center with heavy troops to win.

Even if the combat strength of the two sides is similar, the advantage in numbers is enough for the Hojo family's reserve team to take turns to fight, and the Echigo army will die from exhaustion.

The longer the battle goes on, the more powerful it will be for the Hojo family.Of course she is willing to spend and fight.And her tactics are very safe, even Hojo Tsunari, who is dissatisfied with her, agrees.

The core of the wealth accumulated by the three generations of the Hojo family is the family governor of Odawara Castle, who is directly under the Ma Huizhong, and is insignificant.Then there are Nishisangomi, Izu, and Yimen, who are directly led by the family governor.

Motomu Motochu's Black Bei was behind the guarding army at Sano Castle, while Tominaga Yasuke's Qingbei and Hojo Ryuyama's Chibei held down the two wings respectively.

Without any worries, the Hojo clan government kept the coffin of the Hojo family in their hands, and stormed to the center to break through.

Although this tactic was costly, the Hojo family was willing to fight.As long as Uesugi Terutora's core combat power is wiped out in the first battle, Echigo's army can only fall apart and return home.

Hojo's approach was approved by Hojo's important officials, and everyone acted quickly. The army retreated five miles, and set up camp again with its back against Sano Castle.

---

The combat supplies needed by Hojo's army were imported from Kawagoe City to the Sano collar with the convenience of water transportation in the core area of ​​Kanto, and sent to the army.

The Echigo army entrenched in the mountains and mountains is also taking the time to repair and prepare for the battle. While monitoring the direction of the Dahu collar, Nagao is trying his best to mobilize the farmers and soldiers in the Ashikaga collar to help transport supplies.

The two armies were separated by twenty miles, and the central plain was silent.

But behind them, countless supplies converged into a river, and food, knives, guns, bags, bows and arrows were put on the front line to supply the army.The two armies are sharpening their swords, and the war is about to start.

Monogamia came from nowhere, and the ninjas scouted around Sano, encountered, clashed, and suffered heavy casualties just to get closer to the battlefield.

While fearing the powerful strength of both sides, the families in the Kanto region are looking forward to this battle, the battle that will determine the future direction of the Kanto Plain.
