Chapter 315: Capture of Makinohara City
However, it is said that the Okubo brothers brought Kamihara Yasumasa to the periphery of Tokugawa Ieyasu's Banner Shrine, and after placing Kamihara Yasumasa to the Banner Shrine on duty, the two of them successively passed through the heavily guarded Banner Shrine and walked in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and informed Tokugawa Ieyasu of the incident between Sabei and Kamihara Yasumasa.
After listening to the words of the Okubo brothers, Tokugawa Ieyasu was silent for a few breaths, and then said to the Okubo brothers: "This person still has a bit of a heroic posture, but Koheita is a general who is absolutely loyal to his family, and these favors can't buy Koheita, but his performance will definitely make the samurai of the family fall in love, so the family also needs to give him something back, so let's do it, it just so happens that Koheita's saber is damaged, I have two knives of the national gangming here, Shichiro went right to give these two knives to Koheita and Sabei." β
After dealing with the sudden episode, Tokugawa Ieyasu said to Sakai Tadaji, who was frowning slightly, "What news does the Takeda Army have?" β
When Sakai Tadaji heard this, he immediately suppressed his thoughts and said to Tokugawa Ieyasu: "My lord, there is no news of the Takeda Army being dispatched from our mountain bush at present. β
Tokugawa Ieyasu's brows gradually furrowed when he heard this.
Sabei, who had just finished cleaning the surrounding battlefield, looked at the knife in Okubo Tadashi's hand, and didn't react for a while, but fortunately, Okubo Tadasa on the side immediately played a round and said: "At this time, the lord was quite touched by Sabei's benevolence and righteousness, so he gave this knife to Sabei, firstly to express his appreciation for Sabei, and secondly, to show the affection of his family and your party, and hope that Sabei will accept it." β
When he learned that the sword given to Kanhara Yasumasa was called "Tadashi" and the sword he was given to himself was called "Ren", Sabei solemnly accepted the knife handed by Tadashi Okubo and bowed his head in the direction where Tokugawa Ieyasu was.
After disposing of the battlefield and receiving the order to continue advancing, Sabei commanded his three iron artillery teams to march towards Makinohara Castle on the hill not far away, according to the "Ren" inserted in his waist and a new small sword.
However, what made the Weaving Coalition Army strange was that after seeing the Weaving Coalition Army pressing from a distance, the Takeda Army guarding Makinohara Castle did not abandon the city and flee, nor did they close the city gate and prepare to fight to the death, but rushed out of the Makinohara Castle with two or three hundred people.
Just as Okubo Tadashi was smiling and preparing to shoot these samurai, one of them rode a horse and walked to the front of the battle with the main banner of the two Oritoku families, and then asked the samurai beside him to cut it in two with his saber in front of more than 10,000 people.
After reacting for a while, the iron artillery team pulled the trigger in his hand, and hundreds of projectiles roared out in an instant, and the Takeda Army, which had just provoked, fell half in an instant.
After hearing the roar of the iron cannons, the other Takeda troops shouted with their blades in their hands and rushed towards the iron artillery team that was reloading their ammunition. Then there was another roar of iron cannons, and the battle to conquer Makinohara Castle came to an end.
Looking at the obviously strange Takeda military situation in front of him, Sabei felt a little uneasy in his heart. After turning his head to look at Fujido Gaohu, he also read the taste of doubt in the other party's eyes.
The other Zhide generals naturally saw the abnormality, so for a while, the more than 15,000 Zhide coalition troops frowned frequently at the corpses of the Takeda Army lying on the ground, and the discussion began to quietly rise from the military situation.
Knowing the power of public opinion, Sabei immediately suppressed the "outrageous" subordinates, and sent Fujido Takatora to ask Okubo Tadashi about his next move.
At this time, Okubo Tadashi had just sent his cronies to Tokugawa Ieyasu's main camp to inquire about his next steps, so Fujido Takashi waited beside Okubo Tadashi for a while before receiving an order from Tokugawa Ieyasu to continue to capture Makinohara.
Sabei, who stormed Makinohara's Castle without hindrance, did not discover the key to the location of Makinohara Castle until he ascended the watchtower of Makinohara Castle.
As a mountain castle built on the top of a mountain, Makinohara Castle is bordered by the flat and wide Suruga Plain to the east and the narrower mountains and hills to the west.
Forehead... Why was it lost so easily, and the more than 200 Takeda troops who were sent to death were definitely problematic. Thinking of this, Sabei broke out in a cold sweat, and then said to Fujido Takatora who was holding pressure in his arms behind him: "Isn't Takeda Katsuraimo crazy? If he's not crazy, he's deliberately luring us in, but this ploy is too clumsy! β
Fujitang Gaohu frowned when he heard this, and then lowered his head and said: "My lord, if we are lured into this Suruga Plain, the Takeda Army will contain us with half of its troops, and send the Suruga Naval Army to transport the other half of the army to land behind our army, and the two armies will attack the head and tail of our army, and our army will only become a turtle in the urn." β
After hearing this, Sabei nodded, and then said: "But if our army guards Makinohara Castle and the coast, this Makinohara Castle alone can make the besieging Takeda army suffer, and Takeda Katsuyori's Enami strategy will become even more difficult, I think Mikawaden may have considered this factor before ordering the occupation of Makinohara Castle." β
After speaking, Sabei fell into deep thought again, thinking about it, there is no need for Takeda Katsuyori to hand over Makinohara Castle to the Weaving Virtue Coalition Army, so what kind of calculation will he make to do such a thing that harms himself and others.
Before Sabei was standing on the watchtower could figure out what was going on, he heard someone shouting his name from below, and when he leaned down and looked down, he realized that it was Honda Gundam.
Sabei, who came down from the watchtower, looked at Honda Tadakatsu, who had a resolute face in front of him, and asked with a smile, "What did Heihachiro call me for?" β
Honda Tadakatsu also pulled out a smile when he heard this, and said: "Sabei, the lord knows that you have a plan, and now that the situation of the Takeda army is unclear and acting strangely, the lord ordered me to summon you to the main camp to discuss matters!" β
Sabei looked at the unsmiling Honda Tadakatsu and understood the restlessness in Tokugawa Ieyasu's chest. So Sabei took the pressure cut back from Fujido Gaohu's hands, and said to Fujido Gaohu: "If you want to take care of the iron cannons, I'll go back!" β
On the way, Honda Tadashi apologized to Sabei on behalf of Kamihara Yasumasa. Sabei said a few polite words, and then took the opportunity to ask about the situation of the Takeda Army, but it turned out that Honda Tadakatsu did not know the recent situation of the Takeda Army, only knew that it was still under Sunfu Castle.
After Honda Tadakatsu entered the assessment room temporarily arranged by Tokugawa Ieyasu, Sabei saw Sakuma Nobumori with a puzzled face, as well as Tokugawa ministers such as Ishikawa Shumasa and Sakai Tadaji.
After placing Sabei in the last position, Honda Tadakatsu stood outside the door with the sword at his waist, followed by Yasumasa Kamihara, who invited Hayashi Xiuzhen. β
