A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Different from the sadness in Fukushima Castle, there was joy in the military camp in the mountains outside the city. Everyone congratulates Kanai Meigoro for winning Ichibanjo, which gives him the confidence to brag in the Yamauchi family.

Everyone held their rice bowls and discussed the next step while picking up the rice. Koheta held up his bamboo stick and pointed at the hastily drawn Fukushima Castle defense map to explain in detail.

The breach of Tamataki Castle not only destroyed the complete defense system of the Fukushima Castle Group, but also effectively cut off any reinforcements that might come from the direction of Mino. After all, no one would give up until the last moment. No matter what kind of promise the Kiso family made, it was the Naegi Iwamura family who came to save him.

Xiaopingtai pointed to the Upper Palace City again, and everyone put down their bowls and began to listen carefully to Xiaopingtai's analysis.

Everyone can understand the meaning of the name Kaminoden. It is only a few dozen meters away from Fukushima main castle. It was originally the outer wall of Fukushima Castle, and there was also an imperial palace inside the castle. However, the wind at the mountain pass was too strong and the winter was bitingly cold, making it unfavorable for living. The young and old men of the Kiso family moved together to the less windy Fukushima Castle, and Kaminoden was gradually changed into a branch castle. Since it was once the residence, it is now very tightly defended.

Its west side is close to Fukushima Castle, and the open space between the two cities is covered by crossfire. It is impossible to deploy troops and can only attack its other side.

At the same time, since it was originally the location of the Ikan Palace, Kaminonoden Castle has complete Itabori and Sorabori, and also has a relatively solid gate with a watchtower and Yagura.

Such a city is not a cheap thing that Kanai Meigoro can split open with a single blow. It is always necessary to launch a large army, attack on several sides, and even set fire to the city.

"Fire arrows are not difficult to raise, but the wind is northwest now. Shooting bows and arrows on the city is completely against the wind, making it difficult to go!" Murakami Yoshimitsu suddenly licked his fingers with his tongue, and then stood up high. I felt the wind direction around me and confirmed the northwest wind.

When everyone heard it, some people licked their fingers with their tongues, while others just stood and felt it.

"The fire attack will definitely not work. We must also be prepared for the fire arrows shot from the city. The soldiers must be careful when patrolling at night." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu ordered his attendants to convey his orders to the camp.

Generally speaking, if fire attack, which is the most harmful to wooden castles, cannot be used, then the means of siege will be greatly reduced.

Moreover, this Upper Hall is also on a hillside. Apart from only one plank fence, the level of defense is pretty good considering the current situation in Japan. If the city has enough food and weapons, it can be defended for a long time.

Everyone, you stare at me and I stare at you. Who's on? You go up or me?

This slab is only thirty centimeters thick. It is said to be a slab, but in fact it is just a grass-paste mud wall. What does it mean? That is to build a wooden board first, but in Japan we do not do block building (Fu said that it is the block building between the blocks), that is, rammed earth work. It's much simpler for people. They split bamboo and use straw ropes to make warp and weft weaving, then paste mud on the bamboo net, and paste it on both sides.

Hey, it seems like it's not thick enough. Weave another bamboo net and continue to paste mud on both sides. This way the thickness is not much different, about twenty or thirty centimeters. Just paint a layer of lime on the outside of the mud, and add a layer of wooden boards if you are careful.

How dare you call this thing a city wall? Even readers are embarrassed for them. At least they know how to build a mud wall in the landlord's compound. Their thing is only a little better than the paper one, which is made of mud and has two layers, which is enough for the level of Japan's bad war.

It stands to reason that if you find a few strong men, chop down a big tree, sharpen one end, and hit the board a few times, the thing will break.

However, Shangzhidian is still a mountain city, and it is a bit difficult to lift a big tree up the hillside. Secondly, the empty wall is three to five meters wide, so there is no place to use it if you want to hit it.

A typical bad city meets a bad army, just like the blue and green parties in the Bay. I don’t have to do well, it’s enough that I’m not as bad as you. We are all just toads in the mud puddles in the ditch, how can we still jump into the sky?

"Meigoro, why don't you try again tomorrow?" Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was very optimistic about Kanai Meigoro and felt that he could perform great feats again.

As a result, before anyone could answer, Ogasawara Nagamasa spoke first: "Meigoro has already achieved special honors today. Please give me some opportunities, Your Highness."

"Oh? Are Yoshiro willing to climb first? Then it's all up to you." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu was so happy that someone was willing to come forward. How could so many people be stopped by a small city garrisoned by more than a hundred people?

The others saw that it would be best if there was a fool who was willing to attack the city with human flesh, so they picked up their bowls and continued eating. Anyway, you don't have to go attack the city yourself, it's none of your business.

Koheita looked at Kanai Meigoro, "Meigoro, if you go, are you sure?"

"If it's the Yamauchi people, the number is five or five. If it's the Suwa people, it's self-explanatory, why bother asking." Kanai Meigoro is a bachelor. If you are willing to give me a few hundred of the Yamauchi family's regular ashigaru, I still have half. Be sure to conquer the palace. If you give me the drama queens like Suwans, then stop playing around and go out to watch the show instead of fighting with a hammer.

"Meigoro, you are so generous. Where are you sitting?" "Tanzheng, have you started to say good things for your adopted brother?" Kanai Meigoro said. Mrs. Kodaira blushed and hurriedly pretended to drink soup and used a bowl. Cover your face. Even so, he drank too much, choked on a few grains of rice, and kept coughing.

"Tanzheng, please eat more slowly." Kanai Meigoro put down the bowl and chopsticks, smiled and patted Heita on the back.

Xiaopingta coughed twice, recovered, and waved quickly. "You haven't even finished your horoscope yet, Minggoro, didn't you see Tsai Nu glaring at you?"

"Ms. Cai Nu knows how to distinguish between public and private affairs, how can she care about such trivial matters, hahahahaha!" Xiaoping failed to intimidate and was laughed at again.

I can’t eat this meal. Go back to bed!

The battle plan was finalized, and everyone had enough to eat. They dispersed and returned to each reserve team to arrange night patrols and other tasks. Then there was the matter of guarding against the Kiso clan's night attack that might happen at night, and the rest was gone.

Of course, Ogasawara Nagamasa was so excited that night that he didn't sleep well, but early the next morning, he was still in high spirits, leading his headquarters banner and the Suwa soldiers assigned to him out of camp to form an array.

His family servants led him to the horse and carried the gun, while he himself was riding on the horse and holding a bow that was not much different from his height. The bowstring is half-opened and then released, and then half-opened and the bowstring is released again. He not only tamed the bow, but also moved his arms.

Only then did everyone realize that he was not only good at spearmanship, but also had the Ogasawara family's traditional horsemanship skills.

Is it possible that he is going to show off his power today?
