A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Construction was in full swing outside Edo Castle. With more people and greater strength, the foundation of the stepped multi-layered earth platform was quickly completed.

That night, someone actually escaped from Edo Castle and was caught by Kanei Meigoro's troops who were blocking the passage to the lower city. The five flowers were tied up and sent to the main formation in the mountain.

The city general Oishi Shiteru fainted!

It doesn’t matter why he fainted or whether he can wake up after fainting. This is great news for the Yamauchi Army, or for the entire coalition.

There are also many generals from the Hojo clan in the city, such as Kasahara Yasukatsu, Matsuda Kenhide, etc., who are all experienced generals. But once Oishi Teru as the backbone falls, everything will really be in chaos!

No wonder some weak-willed people crossed the city overnight and tried to escape. This city is about to end, and you would be a fool not to run away.

According to the confession of the fleeing samurai, Oishi Shiteru fainted while inspecting the earth platform built by the coalition forces in public. Not only the samurai who were approaching knew it clearly, but also the hundreds of soldiers who were on the city defense at the time.

Rumors are spreading in the city, and people are panicking. There is news that Oishi Shiteru has passed away!

It is undeniable that, whether in this plane or in history, Oishi Teru, as the second son of the Hojo clan Yasushi, the brother of the Hojo clan, and the author of the Hojo clan, he fought in Kanto for many years and made great achievements.

In the Hojo family, Teru Oishi was the first-class "military god". He went up and down the field, went to Hitachi, and fought in consecutive battles, beating the people of the Kanto country until they lost their temper.

Just now, the Ueno coalition forces were defeated in Ueno Hirai. The Ueno people abandoned their helmets and armor and fled. In the past, he also set up an ambush to defeat Uesugi Kenshin at Tonegawa, and defeated Satomi Yoshihaka at Kokufudai.

If this record is put on the table, it is actually comparable to many famous generals!

In addition, the Hojo clan is still young, and the personal charm of Oishi Teru is also good, which can unite the retainers around the Hojo clan. Compared with his younger brothers, he is much better at controlling people's hearts.

If such a white jade pillar holds up the sky, and the purple golden beam holding up the sea falls, it is no exaggeration to say what will happen!

"Would you like me to take someone for a flush?" Hosokawa Takame was a little eager to give it a try.

On the side, Masayuki Sanada closed his eyes and pondered, if Teru Oishi was really unconscious. At this time, if you give Edo Castle a fierce blow, it is really possible to destroy the city with one blow.

Koheita is also analyzing the pros and cons of going up to Edo Castle at this time. The first is whether the news is accurate and whether it is a death trap released by the city. If the Dashi family had nothing to do with it, they would definitely suffer a loss if they tried to rush in at this time.

Edo was a fortified city and well-armed, so a failed offensive would most likely cost hundreds of lives.

Now that Koheta is in charge, he has become as stingy as Yamauchi Yoshiharu and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu, not stingy with money, but stingy with the lives of his soldiers. If there is no certainty of more than five points, we will not dare to let the soldiers take risks.

Of course, if the news is true and Edo can be captured, then even if one or two hundred people died, two or three hundred people would still be within the acceptable range. After all, the reward of Edo Castle is large enough, and it is indeed worth it.

"We can give it a try tomorrow!" Koheita thought about it and felt that the opportunity should not be missed. If we capture Edo as early as possible, we will have a greater chance and a longer fighting time. Entering Odawara is no longer a dream!

"Kibei!" Hosokawa Saime looked at Sanada Masayuki again.

"Fighter planes are precious. Whether they are real or fake, you can definitely give them a try!"

He was at the construction site during the day today and watched the construction for a day. Although Koheita gave Heiroku the best time of three days, Sanada Masayuki and Heiroku estimated that it would take six days to build a solid earth platform and drag the cannon up.

Six days was enough for the army to fight to Odawara and back.

"What do you think?" In terms of democratic centralism, even if Xiaoping Tai is the assistant minister, he still has to listen to the opinions of other companies.

"You can give it a try!" All the generals expressed their support and did not sing against it.

"Okay! Cainv, you go and select the elites now, and tomorrow I will bring all of His Highness's iron cannons with you!"

"Okay! Just leave it to me!" Hosokawa Kaina is a standard samurai who is happy when hearing drums and angry when hearing gold.

Everyone dispersed and went back to camp. Not far away, Edo Castle was lit up with sparks. Every important pass and city gate opening was shining with fire. This was mainly because they were afraid that the 40,000 to 50,000-strong coalition forces would pick out a hundred or so people who were not night-blind, climb over the platform, and launch a surprise attack on the city.

After all, the city defense was laid out by the Oishi family, and it can basically be said to be watertight. All the coalition generals, including Xiao Pingtai, were convinced by this point. He was really capable.

"Heiroku! Although we have just agreed to attack the city tomorrow, we cannot relax the construction of the platform." After leaving the shogunate, Heita Xiao ordered Heiroku who was following behind.

As a general of the first team, Heiroku naturally attended the military meeting. Although they were led by Uncle Tsunata's group, they still sat behind Heita Xiao, not far away. When Heita Xiao walked out of the shogunate, he followed.

"Don't worry!" He agreed quickly.

"One more thing. There should be many Jinfu in my uncle's Eramata clan who are familiar with the nature of water."

"Yes!"

"Then select a hundred or ten people and let them explore the river and build a few more pontoon bridges on the Pingchuan River! It's not always beautiful just to rely on the Pingchuan Bridge!"

The two of them just sat by the fire, discussing various military situations, and it was late at night before they knew it. Qi Gui came in with a bundle of firewood and added more wood to the fire.

"Tan Zheng, let's rest early. Aren't we going to attack the city tomorrow?" As he said this, Qi Gui turned around and went out again, carrying a bundle of straw in his arms.

When Pingliu saw it, he immediately got up and came over to make a bed with straw for little Pingtai. Although the two of them are now reserve generals, they have not forgotten their roots and are very skilled in playing tricks for Xiaoping Tai.

This time when Edo Castle was being surrounded, there were no buildings in the wild to camp in. A spread of straw and two layers of flannel blankets were enough to sleep on.

"You should go back and rest early! By the way, Qi Gui, you can bring another pot of water. I will drink it tomorrow morning."

Qi Gui responded and shouted outside, and a young follower running in.

"This is?"

"It turns out that the child from the uncle's house next door in the village followed me and did odd jobs." Qi Gui took the copper pot from the child's hand and rubbed the little head.

"Very good!" Nowadays, the training and education of military officers is not just like you lead me, I lead you, and everyone is pushed forward, stumbling to learn.

After working as a miscellaneous soldier in the camp for three to five years, you will learn everything you need to learn, and then you will be able to be an ashigaru and lead troops in battle.

"Why are the lights in Edo Castle flickering?"

"Have it?"

Qigui and Heiroku, who opened the curtain and went out, hadn't gone far yet, and Xiaopingta heard clearly.

This is exciting! Get up from the straw mat.

Something is wrong with the fire in Edo Castle!
