A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"Your Highness, Nagashino is only here for a short while..." Torii Kon'emon Katsusho was kneeling under the tent, his face covered in blood, his face and hands covered with small wounds, and his robes also looked tattered.

"To what extent!" Tokugawa Ieyasu, fully clothed and sitting quietly on the horse, was indeed ready for battle.

"The Hattori curve at the foot of the castle has been broken, and Mizubori has only been guarded for two days. Sannomaru was already in danger before the younger one came!"

The offensive of the Yamauchi Army was not without its fierceness. After Suganuma Masada was defeated, Umeyuki Anayama led the Shimoyama troops to continue their battle. His subordinates did not suffer much losses when the Takeda clan fell. They preserved their territory and a fairly intact samurai group by surrendering to the Yamauchi clan.

In the current situation where the Kai clan is generally weak, it can be regarded as a regiment that has inherited the combat power of the Kai Takeda clan.

In a fight, they would naturally be stronger than the three parties of the Shan family. Due to the problem of the attack area below the city, although Aneshan Meixue has more than 2,000 men, only four to five hundred can go into battle.

Under the command of the retainer Baba Yaemon, the people down the mountain also shouted, and rushed towards the moat of Nagashino Castle holding bags of soil and vegetation.

Two thousand people were divided into five groups and rushed for more than two hours to fill in four corridors. Most of the day has passed. Naturally, they will not let the descendants who felled dozens of people rush again in the afternoon and continue to replace people.

Matsushita Yaraku, the city lord of Toutuo Temple in Yuanjiangzhong, helped Ichiqing bring his own troops and conduct the first round of probing attacks. But Matsushita Ao looks like a foreigner firstly, and secondly he is the father of Matsushita Toramatsu. In the future, the Matsushita people will become Ashikaga Yoshiaki's allies and cannot be consumed too much.

Therefore, 200 iron cannons were also drawn from the standing flag, holding wooden poles and bamboo bundles, and accompanied the Matsushita troops to attack Changshino Castle. With the suppression of firepower, there were a lot less lead bullets pouring down from Chengtou Mountain. Matsushita Ao knew that this was a key battle for the future of their Matsushita family, and he was very dedicated.

He personally led his men to storm the Tatemon Gate, and several samurai who were known for their bravery also climbed up the city using their hands and feet, encouraging the soldiers to attack Sannomaru.

Taking advantage of this gap, the Yamauchi family will definitely not let the three parties of the Yamauchi family idle. Now that there is fire cover, there are also people who will take the initiative. It will be no problem for you to carry sandbags to fill the trench and increase the corridor.

The first day's attack ended in the evening. There were too few corridors that could pass through the moat, and only a few dozen soldiers could be put in at a time. Although Panasonic and others stormed to the top of the city, they had very few troops and were quickly defeated again.

The attack on the gate was not smooth either. Okuhira Sadamasa seemed to be ready to completely defend the city, but he actually piled all kinds of heavy objects behind the city gate, making it impossible for the gate to be opened.

Everything was expected, and there was nothing surprising. No one in the Yamauchi army, including Koheita, thought that such a mountain city could be conquered in one day. It was not surprising that it took three or five days for Nagasaki.

However, at the military meeting that night, everyone still expressed their opinions. In the end, the sooner the city is broken, the better. In this way, the fewer defense forces gathered in Okazaki Castle will be gathered, and the easier it will be to conquer Okazaki.

The old drama, the first one is to send the gold diggers to prepare for the earth dragon attack. Anyway, the bottom of Nagashino Castle is not a rocky mountain, so it won't be too difficult to dig. If it can be done, we can directly attack Honmaru and destroy the city immediately.

The other one is also an old drama, driving the handymen to build a small platform on Demaru. It doesn’t need to be too big, just enough to pull up two cannons. Nagashino Castle is only so small, so it doesn't require many artillery to cover it.

Civil work is a bit tiring, but it's more reliable, with almost no fatalities, and the bronze cannon can also adjust its firing angle. According to the estimation of the small platform, if you want to break into Ninomaru, you need to be about ten meters high.

Everyone also expressed their approval. Anyway, with the 40,000 people in the mountain, eighty times the number in the city, they would do all kinds of tricks with him.

On the second day, the Yamauchi Army finally completely filled up Mizuhori. Nagashino Castle Sannomaru's biggest reliance was on the Yamauchi Army's almost endless strength advantage, and it was quickly broken through.

By evening, the city wall collapsed in many places under the repeated baptism of iron cannons and fire arrows. The original Banjie could not withstand such a powerful offensive and was crumbling.

It was also this night that Torii Goemon tied a rope down from the cliff, swam across the Toyokawa River, and ran all the way. It took him a day and a night to reach Okazaki Castle.

"Maybe Sannomaru has been revealed today!"

"..." Tokugawa Ieyasu did not answer Torii Jon'emon. He stood up and paced back and forth a little irritably.

Generals such as Okubo Tadayo, Sakai Tadashi, Ishikawa Ienari, Torii Motoadaka, Osuga Yasutaka, Mizuno Tadashige, Ishikawa Sumasa and many common warriors of the Mikawa Matsudaira clan lined the side.

Unlike other daimyo situations where their retainers dispersed and wealthy families broke away when they faced catastrophe, the Tokugawa clan's retainers showed considerable unity. This is not only due to Tokugawa Ieyasu's years of win-over (Mikawa Ichiku was basically killed when he refused), but also because everyone knows that Oda Nobunaga has more than 100,000 troops on his side, and he will definitely raise troops to save Germany as long as the time is right. Sichuan.

To save Tokugawa is to save Owari, and to save Owari is to save Nobunaga himself!

"Your Highness! Your Highness!" Joyous cheers came from outside the tent.

Tokugawa Ieyasu and the samurai under his command all looked outside. The ones who ran into the shogunate regardless of their appearance were naturally Okuhira Sadano and Oguri Tadatsune.

"How is it! How is it! What did Gifu Danmasa say!" Tokugawa Ieyasu quickly took two steps outside and met the two of Oguri Tadatsune.

"His Majesty Gifu has promised that within four to five days, 50,000 soldiers and 5,000 iron cannons will be mobilized to come to the rescue!" Oguri Tadatsune knelt down excitedly and loudly informed the generals in the tent.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! It's so good!" Sakai Chuji was also inexplicably excited.

"As soon as His Majesty Gifu's army arrives, there is no need to fear Yamauchi anymore!" Okubo Tadashi also nodded repeatedly.

Calculating the time with his fingers, it would take Oguri Tadatsune a day and a half to run back to Okazaki, which meant that Oda Nobunaga could reach Okazaki in three days at the earliest, and Nagashino from Okazaki was only two days away.

"Jōemon! Go back and tell Yataro! Gifu Dansho will send reinforcements to Nagashino within two or three days!"

"Okay! I understand!" Torii Jon'emon didn't even take a break, and immediately turned around and ran towards Nagashino Castle.

"Your Highness, His Highness Gifu requires you to prepare 10,000 logs as thick as an arm, as well as ropes to tie the logs." Oguri Tadatsune also told Tokugawa Ieyasu about Nobunaga's instructions.

After hearing this order, Tokugawa Ieyasu thought about it for a while, seemed to understand a little, and smiled slightly.

"The rise and fall of Tokugawa, let's fight here! All members, one level at a time, work hard!"
