Chapter 35: The Death of the Hojo Clan

"Repair the doctor's hall, the hall owner wants the minister to talk to you." Kansuke Yamamoto sent Sanada Yutaka away first, and he stayed outside to wait for the court.

"What's the matter? Is it dissatisfaction with the outcome of the peace talks? Asadachi couldn't think of a reason for Kansuke Yamamoto to stop him.

"Your sister, Lady Yume, passed away after giving birth to a princess, and this Princess Kyoko Takeda is now seven years old." Kansuke Yamamoto was ordered by Takeda Harunobu to have a relationship with the Uesugi family this time (not a belligerent relationship), and the bridge to reconciliation with the Uesugi family was the princess.

"What do you want to say?" Chao Ding subconsciously held the saber.

"The repairman misunderstood. The family wants to return the small amount of blood of the Uesugi family in Ogiga, and your uncle passed away in Musashi Province, so if something happens to you, who will inherit the Uesugi family? Yamamoto Kansuke said this as if he was cursing Asada, but Asada didn't pull out his knife and cut him.

"Humph! It's useless to blackmail me with my niece, it seems that the 2,000 troops of the Hojo Army are already on standby in Sakaki. Dr. Dashan's strategy is very good! "Asadashi wanted to annihilate this reinforcement of the Hojo Army in order to comfort his uncle's spirit in the sky.

"The Hojo Army's own family won't take care of it, but I just want to ask the Repair Doctor's Body Hall to return the Takeda family's retainers and samurai such as the Iitomi Military Department to the family." Kansuke Yamamoto planned to use Uesugi Asada's niece as a bargaining chip in exchange for the corpses of Iitomi Toramasa and others to return to the Takeda family.

"Hehe, the three corpses of Iifu Huchang, Iifuchangjing, and Sanzhi Shouzhi will be handed over to you, and your entourage also has ten people, enough to transport them back." Uesugi Asahi wanted to give the Takeda family a little memory.

"Repair doctor, this family means to return thousands of remains, not three!" Kansuke Yamamoto is not prepared to compromise this time.

"The war dead of your Takeda family are human beings, so what about the corpses of Shinano Province that were nailed to the stakes after being brutally killed by you? Do you know how they feel? "Chao Ding doesn't want to talk nonsense with him, he wants to go to the side hall to visit the dragon girl first.

"Yamamoto, do you still recognize me?" Hojo Takahiro walked up to Kansuke Yamamoto in three steps and two steps, and grabbed him by the collar.

"Isn't this Hojo Tango-samarum? Long time no see. Kansuke Yamamoto didn't seem to be able to say anything else, he himself miscalculated that Hojo Takahiro would surrender to Uesugi Asada's army.

"Humph!" Hojo Takahiro didn't have a good attitude towards Kansuke Yamamoto, and when he went up, he punched him in the face and knocked him to the ground.

"Stand back! Otherwise...... "When Hojo Takahiro saw that Kansuke Yamamoto's retinue of samurai were all drawing their swords, he made a move, and fifty samurai with swords came from nearby and surrounded them.

"Put away your knives." Kansuke Yamamoto knows what kind of place this is, and if he uses a knife, he will lose his life here.

"Yes." After all ten of his attendants put away their knives, two of them helped Kansuke Yamamoto up.

"Remember, the loser cannot negotiate terms with the winner, and your Takeda family has lost nearly four thousand five hundred troops in Shinano. Most of the wealthy families and countrymen who followed you died in the battle of Bushihara, and your foundation in the water and in the high well has been completely uprooted by the Nagao family and the main family. You'd better think about it. Asada and the others went straight to the side hall, leaving Yamamoto Kansuke alone to ponder in place.

"Long tail is playing positively, you better have a good rest. The war is over for the time being. As soon as Chao Ding came in, he saw the dragon girl sitting cross-legged, and she was wearing a white single dress and chanting the scriptures.

"The hostages sent by the Takeda family will be killed sooner or later, why should the Takeda family agree to hand over the hostages? It's really incomprehensible. "The Dragon Girl knows some things about Takeda Harunobu, and Takeda Harunobu has never talked to others about integrity.

"That's just to paralyze us, didn't he make friends with the Suwa family first and then destroy it?" Chao Ding sat on the side of the dragon girl and looked at this long-tailed family governor who only had the thinking of a 'woman high student'.

"What about Mizunai-gun and Takai-gun? It is true that the city of Kawateng has been harassing the border of Echigo, and it would really be unjust if he really owned these territories. After the dragon girl finished speaking, she hurriedly recited a few verses.

"How about letting Mamoru Shimono transfer to the area around Mt. Tsumi? Some of the fortifications I built on Wife and Daughter Mountain are still there, and I can repair a city in an instant. Asada thought of Saito Asanobu, who had been working hard in the Nagao family, and his territory had always remained the same, even if he returned a favor this time.

"Shimono Mamoru has indeed always done his best for the Nagao family, and even his father has always been loyal to the Nagao family, helping his father who returned from Sado to recapture Kasuga Mountain Castle and defeat the guardian and the Kanto Governor." The dragon girl also knew that the Nagao family had always owed the Saito family love, but she couldn't say it.

"Jinghu, if you don't send people to defend the two counties of Shuinai and Gaojing, the Murakami family will be defeated by the Takeda family in an instant, and then you will have to send troops to fight one city after another, are you tired?" Chaoding began to brainwash the dragon girl.

"Mizunachi-gun was owned by the Takanashi family before, so this can also be borrowed. But what about Takai-gun? "The dragon girl can't seem to think of any reason.

"Didn't Zhou defend say Takai Bangun? The rest are the wealthy families of the Takeda family, and the Takeda family should severely punish these wealthy families for all their evil. Chao Ding paused, "For these wealthy clans, they should be given a way to change, and if they don't obey and resist, they can only be exterminated." ”

"I'll talk about this then, and I agree with the words that the half of Suiuchi-gun will be handed over to Saito Shimonono Mamoru Asanobu." The dragon girl doesn't seem to be struggling out of her own 'righteousness'.

"Then dare to ask the main hall of Nagaodan, how can the Nagao family still occupy the territory of the Echigo Uesugi family? Ling Zun's rebellion also killed two generations of Echigo guardians and a generation of Kanto governors, how can you say this? "Chao Ding wants to use this method of turning over old accounts to 'train' the dragon girl.

"This?!" The dragon girl was obviously blinded, she also knew what her father had done, and she couldn't step down as the governor of the Nagao family.

"Since it has violated righteousness, then there is no need to pretend to maintain it, so isn't it tiring to do it?" Chao Ding leaned over to the dragon girl's side and said.

"I've incarnated as Bishamon, I just need to have a clear conscience." Although the dragon girl is a little self-deceiving, she still has to pretend to be.

"I'll find a way for the Takeda family forces in Takai County, and you can take care of your body." Asadaki felt that the brainwashing work would continue in the future, and the top priority was to destroy the 2,000 troops of the Hojo clan first.

Then Chao Ding left the side hall, but the dragon girl no longer chanted the scriptures but fell into deep thought.

When the Hojo clan learned of the news of the armistice between the Takeda family, the Nagao family, and the Uesugi family, it refused, and it could not be said that the truce would be stopped. He himself did not show his face on the battlefield! He felt that he couldn't do it, he had to improve his presence!

Sanada Yutaka on the front foot and Kansuke Yamamoto who caught up with him later arrived at Haikou Castle to recover their lives, and the Hojo clan on the back foot headed towards Hachimangahara. Murakami Yoshikiyo and Murakami Kunikiyo, father and son, only returned to Katsuo Castle when they learned of the attack of the Hojo clan. They hurriedly sent people to the main camp of the Sugi family on Mt. Tsumiyama to ask for reinforcements, but they called on their old troops and troops to defend Katsumao Castle.

The Hojo clan didn't care about Murakami Yoshikiyo, he knew that Murakami Yoshikiyo had gathered an army of three thousand. He is only 2,000, and if he attacks the city, it is easy to be attacked. He made a decision to bypass Katsubi Castle and go to the north to rest in Yashiro Castle.

"Clan Palace, our army is only two thousand. The Uesugi army has 1,300 troops, and it is also supported by the Nagao army. "Matsuda Kenhide refused to send troops at first, but he came anyway to take care of the Hojo clan. If something happens to the Hojo clan, he will have to cut his stomach in Bowlata.

"I know that the Ogiya Uesugi family has been kicked out of Musashi Province by the main family! Afraid of what?! "The Hojo clan sat on a matza, eating rice balls, looking at the map.

"Report! The Uesugi army has received a request for help from the Murakami family and has already sent troops! The 400 cavalry of the Kawagoe Knights (the court added some of the horseback warriors of the Hojo Takahirobu to the Knights) cavalry as the vanguard, 100 iron guns and 100 bows and 100 arches for the middle army, and 500 guns and shotlights as the rear army. "After the report, I went out.

"Is the iron cannon Ashigaru the Takeda family's strongest combat power wiped out the Akabi who is known as the strongest combat power in the Tsuma-Nu Mountain? I'm looking forward to it! "The Hojo clan is clearly going to 'experience' it.

"The minister has gone to deploy his troops." Kenhide Matsuda left Ohiroma to rectify the army.

In the afternoon, the 1,100 troops of the Uesugi army reached Hachimangahara. On the other side was the 2,000 Hojo Army. But what the Hojo clan didn't know was that Asadari had already sent Kato Danzo to Katsuro Castle to inform Murakami Yoshikiyo and ask him to attack the Hojo Army from behind.

"The Uesugi family is vulnerable, and they will only use that kind of secret weapon to kill people! Follow me! "The Hojo clan took the lead in rushing to the Uesugi army with his own stables. And Matsuda Kenhide had no choice but to command the follow-up 700 spears and 300 swords to follow. And the remaining 1,000 troops were commanded by Yasutoshi Mamiya.

"Stupid, the era of samurai riding is over." Asadachi asked Hojo Takamasa's iron artillery team to come forward and prepare two shots.

"Ready!" Looking at the Hojo Army getting closer and closer, the Uesugi Army's iron cannon ashigaru looked much more calm. They have already tasted the sweetness of defeating the enemy army twice, and they will not be as flustered as before.

"Fire!" As soon as Hojo Takamasa saw that the horseback team of the Hojo clan had reached within twenty paces, he decisively ordered to open fire. With the sound of gunshots, one after another lead bullets flew towards the bodies of the Hojo Army samurai or the horses of the warhorses. Then one after another samurai and horses fell. Even the Hojo clan himself was hit by three buckshot bullets ten paces in front of the Iron Artillery and fell from his horse. By the time the second team opened fire, the mounted samurai who had followed the Hojo clan to assault had been completely wiped out.

"Broadly speaking, it's your turn." Asadaki calmly watched as the Hojo clan in gorgeous array of haori was killed, and let Nambada Hiroyoshi appear.

"Yes, knights of the Order, listen! The sworn enemies of the Uesugi family are now in front of us, so let's not leave a single living mouth for revenge! After Namba Tian Hiroyoshi finished speaking, he rushed to the second echelon of the Hojo Army with four hundred knights.

"It's the white-robed knight of the Knights!" Matsuda Kenhide heard that Tamu Mototada and the others were killed after being assaulted by the knights of the Knights, and he couldn't help but panic. Looking at the Hojo clan who was still trembling on the ground, he decisively ordered to retreat.

It's good not to retreat, but if you retreat, it will turn into a rout. At this time, Murakami Yoshikiyo and Murakami Kunikiyo came out of Katsura Castle with 2,000 troops, and instantly attacked the rear of the Hojo Army. Yasutoshi Mamiya was killed by Yoshikiyo Murakami on the spot. When Matsuda Kenhide saw that the rear team was attacked, he wanted to reflexively fight again, and when Namba Hiroyoshi and his cavalry had already broken up the formation of the Hojo Army. With Asada's spear lightly put in, this battle was like mowing grass. After half a pillar of incense, only a few members of the Hojo Army fled the battlefield. Five hundred people were captured alive by Murakami's Yoshikiyo Division, and the Uesugi army was left alive here. Kenhide Matsuda was captured alive by Hiroyoshi Nambada and nailed to death on a stake. And the 500 ashigaru captured by Murakami Yoshikiyo were also handed over to the Uesugi army, and their fate was to be killed.

Out of anger at the Hojo family, Asadachi nailed all the corpses of the Hojo Army to wooden stakes, and the corpses nailed to the stakes can be seen everywhere from Hachimangahara to Tsume-sama. The death toll of the Hojo Army this time reached 1,900.
