In fact, when I thought that the Hojo clan had two or three years left to live, the pressure on the later dynasty was also reduced a lot.

"Report to the lord, the 300 horseback warriors of the family and the 50 new horseback warriors have all been assembled." Namba Hayabusa stood in front of one hundred and fifty samurai and reported to the Asada, who was on the command platform.

"Well, it's hard work. From now on you are professional knights! I'm in command alone! He beckoned to the Dingding and motioned for a dozen Ashigaru holding wooden boxes on the side to pass over.

"My lord, this is ......" Shimasa Ota also obtained the position of general of the Ogiya Uesugi family after attacking the southern castle with Asada, and even Namba Hayato was promoted to the rank of cavalry general.

"All dressed!" After Chao Ding shouted, everyone's eyes were focused on the clothes in the wooden box. More than a dozen wooden boxes were opened by the ashigaru, all of them were white robes, and there were Uesugi family crests and finches on both sides.

"Yes." Namba Hayato was still very happy to know that he was selected as the commander of the Asada's lineage, and even his father Namba Tian Kenshige supported him with both feet, and even his own horse riding team was handed over to Asada's use, and even Ota Shimasa was the deputy general to assist Namba Hayabusa.

The samurai on horseback all watched blankly as Hayabusa Namada and Shimasa Ota put on white bamboo and finch robes before they followed suit, and after the half-pillar incense, all the samurai on horseback had changed into new white bamboo and finch robes.

"From now on, your name will be 'Knights of the River'!" Modeled after the Knights Templar, the court first formed a rough group of horseback warriors who were stronger than ordinary armies. Although there is no chain mail and cross shield that were unique to the Middle Ages, there will be one slowly. It's like a saint said, 'The bread will be there.'"

"Hey... Hey... Oh..." Obviously, these samurai on horseback liked the name, and Asadachi thought that they would be a little resistant at first.

"The lord and the minister are incompetent. Failed to keep Oishi Dinghisa in the Uesugi family. Uesugi said to Asada with some sadness.

"Uncle doesn't have to blame himself, Ueda Asanoo and Ota Zigao have already been punished by me, and it's only a matter of time before Oishi Dingjiu is this person." Chao Ding couldn't think of any words of comfort, so he could only say that.

"Thank you, Lord." Uesugi Chaocheng couldn't help but sigh when he saw the white-robed samurai in front of him, "How happy it would be if the Asakeiden could see this scene." ”

"Miyagi politics." Asada thought of an old retainer of the Uesugi family in Ogiga.

"The minister is here." As soon as Miyagi Masayi heard that Asadaki was calling him, he took three steps and walked in front of Asada.

"Prepare some armor for these horses, just to fend off the arrows." Chaoding knew that the killing of bows and arrows during the Warring States period was extremely low, and at most it was just a long distance.

"I understand." Miyagi Masayi knew what Asada's thoughts were, and he also knew the effectiveness of Asada's cavalry when he attacked the southern castle of Musashi Province.

"Namba Hayabusa and Ota Shimasa, the two of you are responsible for training 350 Kawagoe Knights every day, and you must not be lazy. Make sure they ride well. "Chao Ding doesn't want this team to be decorations.

"I understand." Namba Hayabusa and Shikamasa Ota looked at each other and were thinking about how to train them.

There are 21 counties in Musashi, including Kuraki, Totsuki, Tama, Tachibana, Ebara, Toshima, Adachi, Shinza (Silla), Iruma, Goryeo, Hiki, Yokomi, Saitama, Osato, Nanko, Hatara, Harazawa, Naka, Kodama, Kami, and Chichibu. However, the only people who were really under the control of the Ogiya Uesugi family were Iruma-gun (Kawagoe Castle), Shinza-gun (knee-ori castle), most of Saitama (Iwatsuki Castle), Hiki-gun (Musashi Matsuyama Castle), and Adachi-gun (Konosu Castle). If it is converted to the height of the stone, it will only be the territory of 150,000 stone in the six counties, and the cannibalization ability of the Hojo family is still very powerful.

Less than a few months after the establishment of the Kawase Knights of Asada, the Hojo family gave Asadachi a chance to fight.

The Hojo clan was ill and began the First Kofutai War (1538).

In the 6th year of Daiei (1526), the backstage boss of the Hojo clan and his cousin Imagawa clan died, and from then on he did not buy face on the Suruga side, and in 1537, the clan even opened fire on Suruga, which is known as the "Hedong Chaos in history", and the relationship between the two sides deteriorated day by day. But the Hojo clan is already fearless, and in his later years, he is as old and strong as his father Hojo Sakumo. In the 7th year of Tenbun (1538), the First Battle of Kofudai was fought at Taijo Castle, the capital of Shimokokoku, and the two warring sides were the combined forces of the Hojo clan against the brother of Ashikaga Takaki of the Furukawa Principality, Ashikaga Yoshiaki of the Kokugawa Principality, and Yoshiyao Satomi.

The Furukawa Shokata and the Horikoshi Okata, like the Horikoshi Princess, were the two branches guarded by the shogunate in the Kanto region, and they were in the same lineage, but the later Kanto general Ashikaga Nari took the opportunity to kill Kentada, the son of Uesugi Kenmi. The shogunate launched another crusade, Kamakura fell, and the Nari clan fled to Furukawa, Shimoso, and from then on became known as Furukawa. Ashikaga Yoshiaki and his brother Takaki failed to compete for the position of the Furukawa Princess, and were forced to wander. In order to develop the territory of the Hara clan of the lower president, the head of the family, Takeda Nobuho, traveled thousands of miles from Oshu to find the dissolute Ashikaga Yoshiaki as the banner of righteousness. Yoshiaki got this opportunity, and his ambition was blazing again. In the 4th year of Daiei (1524), the main city of the Hara clan, Kogong Castle, was captured, and Yoshiaki built an imperial palace here, calling himself Kokomi.

The conquest of Kobow Castle made Ashikaga Yoshiaki mighty. In the 3rd year of Tenmon (1534), Takeda Nobuho was ostracized and forced to become a monk, and died of illness in the same year. As soon as Nobuho died, his two sons, Nobutaka, the eldest son of the concubine, and the second son of the concubine, Nobuo, began to compete for the position of family governor, and the entire southern Kanto region was drawn into the war. Most of the generals of the house were in favor of Ashikaga Yoshiaki and supported Nobuo, while the Hojo clan, who was expanding his power in Sagami, came to the aid of Takeda Nobutaka. And just when the war was about to break out, Satomi Yoshiyao, an ally of the Hojo family, suddenly broke the contract and joined the Kobow camp instead. The situation took a turn for the worse, and Takeda Nobutaka's castle peak fell, and Nobutaka fled to Musashi Kanazawa Castle. The Yoshiaki Yoshiyao coalition army, which basically cleared the internal worries of the house, pursued Musashi northward. In the 7th year of Tenmon (1538), Ashikaga Yoshiaki was the main general, and Yoshiaki's younger brother Kirai and Satomi Yoshiyao were the two deputy generals, with a total strength of about 10,000 troops, and they were stationed near Kokubutai. The Hojo clan hurriedly asked the Furukawa Gongkata Ashikaga Haruhi clan for the crusade against the Imperial Chamber. On October 2 of the same year, he ordered his son Yasu to lead an army of 20,000 troops into Edo. On the 6th, Ashikaga Yoshiaki crossed the river in front of Kokubutai and passed through the lowlands between Kokubutai and Matsudodai, while Shizuna set out from Edo, crossed the Asakusa River, and set up a formation at Kanamachi on the other side of Matsudo. On the morning of October 7, the Hojo Army unexpectedly crossed the river from Kanamachi and launched an attack, and Hayasuke Shiizu, who discovered this hostile situation in Matsutodai, hurriedly asked Yoshiaki to drive the whole army to meet the enemy, but was refused. At 9 o'clock, the battle began, and the Hojo Army's morale was strong and overwhelming, and at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, it broke through the enemy front troops such as Shiizu Hayato Suke, and pointed directly at the main formation of the small archery army stationed in Kokufutai. The Hojo clan first made a roundabout flank attack, and suddenly plunged directly into the enemy's formation from the front, and the small bow army was in chaos, and the Ashikaga Yoshiaki brothers were killed in battle. Satomi Yoshiyao, who was fighting fiercely with the Hojo Army, saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly retreated to the Funabashi side.

Asadachi also saw an opportunity at this time, and after taking advantage of the fact that Edo Castle's defenses were empty during the decisive battle between the Hojo clan and the Kogong Prince, he personally set out from Kawagoe Castle with 350 horseback warriors of the Kawagoe Knights and 500 standing ashigaru and rushed to the outside of Edo Castle, which had not yet been completely repaired, as quickly as possible.
