Due to the need to assemble additional troops, the Hojo family's army led by Hojo Shiyasu fell behind Tsukahara Ink Dragon, who set off later, in terms of speed. Tsukahara Moryū had no intention of disbanding the army after capturing Kurume Castle, but instead went straight to the national capital to set up a formation with the alliance of the three kingdoms of Kami, Shitama, and Anbo, preparing to meet the invading Hojo family army here.

History always has a striking similarity, the first Kokufutai Battle was a duel between the Hojo clan and Ashikaga Yoshiaki, and this time, which is called the second Kokufutai War, is their successor: Hojo Shiyasu and Tsukahara Moryu.

Once Tsukahara Ryūlong completely occupies Kokufudai, the west can threaten Sagami Province, the root of the Hojo family, the north can contain the Hojo family's South Musashi Army's offensive against the Uesugi family, and the east can cut off the Hojo family's Shimono Kuni's retreat. So when Tsukahara Moryū led an army of 24,000 to enter the national capital, Hojo Shiyasu had no choice but to come here for a decisive battle.

Although he had a slight advantage in troops, for the next battle, Tsukahara Molong did not dare to take it lightly at all. Since the time when the Hojo family was based in the Kanto region in the Hojo Sakumo period, there were almost no strong allies in the Kanto region like Takeda Imagawa, and they relied solely on the entire Kanto group and struggled for three generations to achieve today's achievements. The accumulation of three generations has given the Hojo family enough foundation, at least a strong army like Hojo Goshibei is not something that anyone can take. Even though Hojo Shiyasu only called Akabi and Shirabi this time, Tsukahara Ryūlong still felt a huge pressure. It's not that there are many of the two major reserves, the number of white reserves is more, there are more than 1,200 people, and the red reserves are only more than 900 people, which adds up to less than a fraction of the Tsukahara Molong army, but in the first battle of the Black Dragon River, Toki was able to withstand the all-out attack of the 7,000 army under the command of Tsukahara Molong by relying on 1,500 people, which shows how the military quality of Tsukahara Molong is. This time, a large number of wealthy clans have been added, and there are indeed a lot more samurai, but there are still a few who are really good at fighting, and those who can be called elite are not to be discussed. If there were really so many elite soldiers in the lower country, how could Hojo Clan Yasu put his hand in to raise the Chiba family? How can Tsukahara Moryo sweep a country overnight? Originally, there were a lot of sharp people in the Shangzong Kingdom, but as a result, almost the entire army was wiped out in the first battle of Heilongchuan, which led to a sharp decline in the combat effectiveness of the entire Shangzong Kingdom.

In order to solve this problem, and in order to prevent encountering the situation of Ashikaga Yoshiaki's egg pain, Tsukahara Moryū broke up the army of the wealthy clan under his command and organized it into four legions of 3,000 people, led by Toki Weiyori, Tsukahara Nagakei, Akita Ieji and Heiji, and guarded the two wings of the Chinese army. Although the ability of Akita Ieji and Hirji is limited, Tsukahara Moryū does not intend to risk being stabbed by his own people, so he still gives the command to the two, and they are not responsible for the main attack anyway, so although the number of people is the same, the proportion of samurai under the command of Toki and Tsukahara Nagakei is obviously more.

Because he did not participate in the battle of the Black Dragon River, the combat power under Sakai Toshifang remained relatively intact, in order to prevent Sakai Toshifang from moving during the war, so Tsukahara Molong directly dismantled the Sakai family's military strength and mixed it with other wealthy families, and specially transferred Sakai Toshifang to the Chinese army, nominally sitting in the center, but in fact, depriving him of his command. But the combat effectiveness of the Sakai family cannot be ignored, Tsukahara Moryū took the Sakai family as the center, and mixed up an army of 4,000 people with other wealthy clans, and to everyone's surprise, handed over to Zhou Dashuai, who had been eating and pretending to be dead, as the front army. Because Zhou Dashuai is a native of the Ming Kingdom, and his martial name is not obvious, but his lustful reputation is well-known in the land of Kanto, so many wealthy samurai do not understand Tsukahara Molong's decision. Even if the army is handed over to Heiji, it is more credible than handed over to Zhou Dashuai, after all, Heiji's loyalty to Tsukahara Molong is beyond doubt.

But Tsukahara Molong has his own plans, for people like Zhou Dashuai, there are too many secrets hidden in him, how did a Ming man come to Japan under the sea ban? Obviously he looks like a hanger.,It seems that he doesn't know anything but women and money.,But he has a keen insight.,When he was in Ueno Country, instead of being stunned by Uesugi Kenmasa's reward.,On the contrary, he calmly sensed the murderous intent inside.,Persuade yourself to leave.。 Especially in the battle of Heilongchuan, before the war he was the only one who was not in a hurry, although he did not participate in the war, but at that time he did not have an effective means of communication, Zhou Dashuai was able to cooperate with himself so tacitly, digging a temporary embankment at the best moment, to help himself achieve great achievements. Finally, and the most important point of this era: through his long time with him, Tsukahara Muryu believed that even if he was a mystery, he was a trustworthy person, just because he followed him under the ninja castle without hesitation to attack the army of 38,000, because he still did not abandon himself when he was forced out of the Uesugi family like a lost dog, and because he gave up his favorite money and woman after his assassination, and stayed by his side every inch......

Zhou Dashuai was also quite surprised by Tsukahara Molong's appointment, and subconsciously wanted to refuse, but seeing Tsukahara Molong's trusting eyes, and thinking of Tsukahara Molong's current situation, his face was complicated and after thinking for a moment, he nodded and agreed.

However, in order to maintain the deterrence of the always highly mobile force, and to weaken the strength of the wealthy clans under his command, Tsukahara Moryū ordered all the war horses of the whole army to form a cavalry unit, which was handed over to Sasaki Nagahide for command. Although after several wars, the strength of the warriors and wealthy clans of the Three Kingdoms has been greatly damaged, but fortunately, war horses are regarded as important strategic materials, and even on the battlefield, they can be deliberately protected by both warring parties, so there are still a lot of war horses. And how could a samurai who could ride a horse be an ordinary person? Either they are young talents in the Hao family, or they are capable of themselves, and they have purchased war horses and gathered them together, which is not only to form a powerful mobile force of a thousand horsemen, but also a kind of hostage seizure in disguise, whether they want to rebel or not, they have to consider that there are so many young children in their own family in the cavalry team. In fact, it took 24,000 troops to make up 1,000 horsemen, which is still quite low. In the history of the Warring States Period, it is true that the war horse is very expensive, but after all, it is a strategic resource, and the general loading rate can reach 10 percent, although the Koshin cavalry and the Echigo cavalry are famous in the Warring States, but unlike in the game, they really account for only about 15 percent, but it is the Hojo family through the method of farming and rioting, after the rupture of the Triple Alliance in history, the cavalry under the command of the Hojo clan Yasushi accounted for 20 percent.

Tsukahara Moryū himself led the 7,000 troops he had fought with him at the Kururyu River in the center, preparing to meet the main force of the Hojo family.
