A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Ten days have passed since the defeat of Zi Sheng Ye Shan.

The Allied Forces of Takeda and Hojo had the upper hand. They marched on the Tone River. More than 55,000 troops and countless fallen warriors were densely dispersed between Matsuyama Castle and the Tone River.

It goes without saying that Takeda Harunobu and Oishi are novices when it comes to employing soldiers. There are no mistakes in the distribution plan of each section of the camp, and the three cities of Matsuyama, Koshibata, and Sugiyama are surrounded by air.

But there was a big argument between the two. Takeda Harunobu wanted to continue the siege, and he didn't want anyone to die. Moreover, apart from the Yamauchi family himself, the person who knows the most about the cards of the Yamauchi family is Takeda Harunobu.

Ten thousand people in Koshihata were besieged, and they had only ten or twenty days of food. Takeda Harunobu himself ate the military rations provided by his good son-in-law Hojo for free. He felt that the besieged Yamauchi and Nagano armies would soon run out of food.

And the key point is that there is no military strength strong enough to shake the Takeda-Hojo coalition forces from all sides. The Uesugikata Kanto members of Shimono Shimoso were just maimed by them and ran away. Satomi Yoshihiro of Minami Kanto was beaten to the ground by Fujita Ujikuni and Hojo Ujinobu at Kokufudai last year. Even Masaki Nobushige died in the battle, Toki Norii of Manki Castle defected to the Hojo family, and the Satomi family now has only one breath left.

Uesugi Teruhora supported Tenechigo and brought another five thousand people. Not to mention that the Yamauchi family was still fighting in Mikawa, even if they all came, there would only be more than ten thousand people. Together with Uesugi Teruhu, there are only 20,000 people, and at most even Takanashi Masayori, it will not exceed 30,000 people.

Then why did Takeda Harunobu fight? It didn't take up any territory anyway, so it would be better to wait here for Hosokawa Harimei and Nagano Yamasa to starve to death. He would achieve his strategic goal without spending a single soldier. How can it be so satisfying to use a victorious army to return to the home in Stormhammer Mountain?

But Oishi's Teru was different. He had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to completely eliminate Teru Uesugi. Now as long as Nagano Yamasa is killed first, Ueno's troops will be reduced by half.

Taking advantage of the victory, they crossed the Tone River, attacked Uesugi Teruhora, who had only 8,000 men, surrounded Minawa, Hirai, and Ueno Bridge, and finally captured Ueno.

One wants to wait for the hard work, while the other wants to make great progress while winning.

Of course, the conflict is not irreconcilable. After all, it was his old father-in-law Takeda Harunobu who helped his son-in-law Uji Nao Hojo. As long as the benefits are big enough, the caring father-in-law can still sacrifice for his good son-in-law.

Takeda Harunobu’s condition is Nishi Ueno Hankuni 40,000 ken!

The entire Nishi Ueno including Kuragano, Anaka, Matsuida, Minawa, Iwakiku and other castles.

The territory hasn't been occupied yet, but we need to divide the dirt first. It has to be said that Oishi Shiteru is really a man of the father's style. He resisted all opinions and agreed first, and then discussed whether it was successful or not. First, kill Nagano Yamasa in front of you to expand the results of the battle.

Historically, Hojo Ujiyasu also died at this time, and many wars in Northern Kanto were presided over by Oishi Uteru. Now he is a direct member of the Hojo clan, with high prestige and momentum, and has won many battles.

In addition to acceding to Takeda Harunobu's request, the Oishi clan, who was very smart and general, also joined forces with Oyama Hidetsuna and Yuuki Harutomo to coerce the lord of Shimonoseki Castle, Ryota Harusuke, who had been fighting against the Hojo clan for more than ten years, to surrender.

As Ryoda Harusuke was in charge of the Furukawa family at this time, when he fell, the entire Furukawa Kōkō North Front was avalanched. As soon as Oishi's command flag arrived, there were like clouds of descendants.

Yoshida Harusuke, who supported the Ashikaga Yoshi clan, was taken to Matsuyama Castle, and the Kanto general surrendered to the enemy!

It was still okay in Matsuyama Castle, but Hosokawa Harimei in Koshihata Castle and Nagano Yamasa in Sugiyama Castle were destructively shaken.

The Yamauchi family has always been flying the banner of Ashikaga. Now that Ashikaga Yoshiji is here, what do you think?

Nagano Industry is even more difficult to deal with. If you unfold the map of Kanto, you will find that a large piece of land in Ueno protrudes and is connected to Shimoso. Although the people in the Minami Ueno area generally fought with the leader Uesugi, they were under the command of the leader.

But it is undeniable that the Kanto General of Xiazou Furukawa City has a very strong influence on these wealthy Chinese families. Such powerful people as the Ashikaga Nagao clan, the Tatebayashi Akai clan, and the Kiryu Yura clan are inextricably linked to Mr. Furukawa.

In addition, in Kanto, the atmosphere of the samurai family is quite strong, and the wealthy families are more interested in these old famous families. The name of Koga Furukawa is really useful.

This is just one aspect. After the battle of Kamirukawa ended in Nishi Ueno, where Nagano Yasumasa was located, bad fighting almost never stopped. He didn't have much savings at all, and food was a big problem.

The purpose of bringing 10,000 Jilunzhong here this time may not be to show the true qualities of the Wu family, to enter Musashi to make a little fortune, and to make up for the shortfall. Tens of thousands of mouths were also brought to Musashi Country to eat from the Hojo family, thus saving food consumption in Ueno.

When they collapsed into Sugiyama Castle, Nagano Yoshie only had eight or nine days of food!

Now we have reached the point where we are running out of food and aid!

No matter how powerful, capable, and heroic General Nagano was, if there was no food, there would be no food. Rice would not be dropped from the sky, and only the Hojo Army's surrender document would be dropped.

A large number of surrender letters written in the name of Ashikaga Yoshiji were projected into Sugiyama Castle. The city was originally shaken due to food problems, and now it is even more chaotic.

As everyone knows, the Minawa clan of the Nagano clan is a self-defense national people's alliance that relies on the identity of Nagano Yamasa's father-in-law, Ueno, and the command of more than ten or twenty sons-in-law, adopted sons-in-law, and brothers-in-law.

On the issue of defending Nishi Ueno, everyone listened to Nagano Yimasa's instructions. Anyone who dared to fight would fight him desperately. You can't even imagine the combat effectiveness displayed.

But now they came out to rob, but they didn't get anything and they were surrounded. It doesn't matter if they surround me, I have to give my father-in-law some face, but if I don't have food, I will die.

Nagao Kenchu ​​of the Nagao clan in Ubashi only has a hundred horses, and his number is very small, and he is not the main force under Nagano Yamasa. But it’s often the straw that breaks the camel’s back.

Nagao Kenchu ​​moved the fence and collectively surrendered to the Hojo Army.

The last snowflake before the avalanche fell, Takeda's army of eight thousand and Hojo's army of ten thousand suddenly launched a strong attack on Sugiyama Castle.

People from all walks of life rushed to flee, and the resisters were gone. Of course, it’s no wonder that they were starving to death after a bowl of porridge a day and a fart fight.

Hosokawa Zaimei, who was nearby, saw the fire inside and outside Sugiyama Castle, and the sound of fighting was loud. He knew that the Jilun clan was probably going to die.

But Hosokawa Saime is a person who attaches great importance to friendship. It is not easy to break the siege and rush out. But Nagano Yamasa, who was close at hand, still had a way to save him.

With more than a thousand key men and horses directly under the Yamauchi clan, they launched a rapid and powerful assault. After all, it was a strong army that fought back and forth with Army A, and opened a small hole from the vanguard of the siege.

With no way to go from heaven to earth, Nagano Yezheng was waiting to attack Koshihata Castle with a few able men and horses who could be gathered together.

As soon as the two armies merged, the Takeda Hojo Army also surrounded them again. After all, there were more than 55,000 people. The advantage in strength was too obvious.

Hosokawa Zaimei, who saved Nagano's defeated troops, was also forced to retreat to Koshihata. According to calculations, Yamauchi lost a small 200 and Nagano lost more than 8,000!
