A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Chapter 64 23. Odawara is the only one missing the great achievement

Under the banner of the Narita clan in Ninja Castle, the Kawagoe clan, the Edo clan, the Koiso clan, and the Matsuyama clan all soon turned against each other. Iwatsuke Castle Ota Shimasa led 3,000 Iwafu clan members without hesitation to clear the way.

The castles guarded by the Hojo gates such as Hachioji, Hatagata, Tenjinzan, Kawagoe, etc. all retreated, and the castle generals led their troops back to Sagami.

It only took five days for the Nagao generals to arrive at Kamakura. The following were the Ryoda clan, the lower lord, the Anfusato clan, the Yamakawa clan, the Tagatani clan, the Mizutani clan, and Hitachi. The Oda family, the Fang family of the lower boss Furukawa, etc. all brought troops to help.

Especially when I saw Yi Yao, Yue Dai had a meticulous head, a dark and ruddy complexion, a tall and strong body, and both cunning and bravery in his eyebrows. First, I said hello to Nagao Kagetora, and then to Nagano Yamasa.

As soon as he paid his respects to Nagao Kagetora, he put on a very low posture and saluted Nagao Kagetora: "I am pleased to hear that on the orders of Kantō Commander Uesugi Kingo, Echigo's guardian agent, Nagao Danmasagi, went to Kantō and crossed the mountains. , We are also very happy that the unified division's journey is here to serve as a driving force to help the king's cause."

Xiao Heita listened to his righteous expressions and was almost deceived. This guy cooperated with Xiao Gongfang to attack Musashi and Shimozong. When he encountered twice the number of Hojo and Ashikaga coalition forces at Kokufudai, he didn't even pretend to do so. When he sold his small bow Yoshiaki, he was absolutely decisive, allowing a man in his fifties to become a heroic figure under the siege of several times the enemy force. .

Then Satomi Yoshiyao said to Nagano Yamasa: "My sworn brother is full of energy and spirit, which makes me feel at ease. I hope we can work together to achieve great achievements."

Wait, sworn brother, have we become sworn brothers? Xiaoping had eighteen questions on his head. His level was too low. How could a famous master of Ueno Kingdom and a famous master of Anfang Kingdom come to have a sworn relationship with Jinlan?

I have no choice but to shamelessly continue to smile in front of everyone with my super long tail. Nagao didn't wait for Koheita to ask, "Shinano Mamoru (Nagano Yamasa)'s sister is the wife of the criminal secretary (Satomi Yoshiyao), and the criminal secretary is indeed Shinano Mori's sworn brother."

Oh my god, Nagano Yamasa is already as famous as the Date family's human flesh and egg-laying machine. Didn't you expect his father to be so great? Your Nagano family is really different from other people in the Warring States Period. If someone's wife is a gang, the child will die when it is born, and it will die after birth. Not only did his own children die in infancy, but so did his adopted ones (yes, it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi). Others are even better, with a lot of wives, they can't lay an egg, and they don't even have any good news (yes, it's Shibata Katsuie).

Koheita felt it was necessary to ask Nagano Yamasa if he had any secrets. The story of the twelve sons-in-law in Nishi Ueno is so inspiring. One son and a bunch of daughters. It was simply the most favorite birth pattern for all the daimyo of the Warring States Period. If one son inherits the family business, at most there will be another one to prepare for it. The rest will give birth to more than ten or twenty daughters, and all of them will be married. When there is a war in the future, all the sons-in-law will come to cheer them up. It will be so beautiful.

After a moment of YY, Xiao Pingtai continued to watch other celebrities come up one by one to express their loyalty. Some are humble and submissive, some are high-spirited, some are generous and fierce, and some are slightly helpless.

Look at the people who gathered under Nagao Kagetora, 70% of them are just outsiders, 20% are conspirators with ulterior motives, and the remaining 10% are capable thugs, but they don't care about any big things.

For more than ten or twenty years, this group of people would lose every time they met Hojo, and they would lose every time they met Hojo. Almost no one had a victory. Even if there were a few capable people, they would still be half dead if they were beaten by the gangsters who followed Hojo from all directions. To put it bluntly, his confidence in defeating Hojo has long been gone. The most determined one is Ota Shimasa.

The military strength is getting bigger and bigger, and now it has reached Xuanhe's 112,000 soldiers. The whole of Japan has not been able to gather such a huge military force for more than fifty years. (Except for the too fantastic battle of Jiulongtuchuan) From the perspective of ordinary people, anyone who stands in front of this army is If the mantis arm is used as a cart, it will be crushed into mud.

What stood in the way of the army was the Tamana Castle stationed by Hojo Tsusunari, one of the main generals who defeated the Kwantung Allied Forces in the Battle of Kawagoe, Jihuang Hachiman. Guard Musashi's main entrance to Sagami and control the entrance to Kamakura County. It is a castle that Nagao Kagetora must fight for.

This is a tough nut to crack, and since it has entered Sagami Country, Hojo Fang will fight to the death to hold on. Judging from the previous strength of the two thousand Hojo ashigaru under Hojo Yasumoto, the combat effectiveness of the army taught by Hojo Tsunari is above the current passing line and is very capable of fighting. Nagao Kagetora was even prepared to defend the city for at least ten days.

But when Nagao Kagetora clenched his fists and was about to hit him hard. The forward reported that Hojo Fang had even given up on Tamana Castle, and Nagao Kagetora's strength was as strong as cotton, but the Kanto generals were getting more and more excited.

Who would have thought that the Hojo clan, which had been running rampant in Kanto for decades, would be so cowardly this time, without even a trace of resistance. Almost all the outlying strongholds and branch cities were abandoned, looking like a coward. Maybe this time he can really beat the Hojo clan to death.

So it only took sixteen days for Nagao Kagetora to arrive at Odawara Castle from Ueno. What was even more eye-catching was the overwhelming army of 112,000 people covering the mountains and plains.

At this time, the opportunity to completely eliminate the Hojo clan was right in front of him, and Nagao Kagetora was also extremely excited. Riding his horse and whipping his whip, he looked around Odawara.

And Odawara is right there. The city is five miles wide, the forts are high and deep, and the city walls are complete. Each of the gates is guarding the towers and oars, and flags are flying on the earthen ramparts of each section of the city wall. There are 20,000 soldiers in the city, and Hojo is gathered there. The elite of warriors from all over the world.

It is located on the edge of Sagami Bay, surrounded by mountains and sea. The sails of the Sagami navy's ships are heavy in the harbor. Even though it is heavily surrounded on land, traffic on the water is still smooth.

After observing it, Nagao Kagetora had to sigh that Hojo Ujiyasu was really powerful. Such a large-scale city defense, coupled with 20,000 soldiers, and the ability to replenish supplies at any time, made it almost impossible to conquer.

With Japan's backward siege technology at this time, the only way to attack the city was to attack the city with human flesh. What's more, Nagao Kagetora does have the capital to attack the city with human flesh. The army of 112,000 people and 89,000 people can be used as cannon fodder.

Koheita and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu also circled the city and exchanged ideas and thoughts on attacking the city. Looking at the thoughtful Nagao Kagetora galloping in front, who knows how he is going to deal with this big city.
