"What! The navy army is completely destroyed! Half a day only! "In the Odawara Castle Tower, before the meeting could discuss a result, I received the news of the destruction of the naval army.

"Damn! Eater! What a bunch of rice buckets! Let the family suffer a huge loss in vain! "The Hojo clan roared like thunder, and the Hojo family did not lose any money in terms of the navy, but as a result, whether it was the Izu navy or the Sagami navy, they were all wiped out by the Hosokawa navy, or they were beaten to nothing.

"Lord! Hurry up and get out of the city! The Hosokawa Navy has already arrived, and their large army is not far away! The Hojo clan was anxious, and he knew that things were getting worse.

"Lord! You can't go out of the city to fight! The water army is a good example! We are not opponents head-to-head! It's better to defend the city! Matsuda Kenhide didn't budge either.

"It's... This..."The Hojo clan is in a dilemma, on one side is the family of the family, on the other hand, there are the elders of the genealogy family, which side has huge strength, and they can't be easily offended, which makes him in a dilemma.

"My lord! Without further ado, let's issue an emergency mobilization order and mobilize military rations to Odawara Castle! Whether the end result is a field battle or a city defense, you can jump into battle right away! "Hojo Phantom is still old-fashioned, and it should be done as a top priority.

"Yes, yes, yes! Uncle Huan is right! That's it, that's it! Fast! Give me an urgent mobilization order to mobilize all military rations! When the time comes... We'll talk about it then! The Hojo clan readily agreed, after all, only with soldiers and food in his hands can he be sure-footed.

"Yes!" Everyone had no opinion on this decision, so they hurriedly went down to make arrangements.

Within the Hojo territory, the Great Mobilization began...

"All stand! Stand up! We're now heading out for Odawara Castle! "A village is converging.

"Hurry, hurry! Grab your weapons! Go to Odawara Castle! "There were also peasants who went spontaneously, or wild samurai, who were either staunch supporters of the Hojo family or wanted to be paid for their meritorious service.

"Food! Grain! Requisition all available food! "Countless grains are being shipped to Odawara Castle.

"Samurai-sama! For the sake of the owner, the villain is willing to dedicate all the surplus food at home! ”

There are even many places where farmers spontaneously contribute all the grain stored at home. It can be seen how much the four public and six people's system implemented by the Hojo family is loved by the people.

Hosokawa Nobumoto watched all this silently in Bowl Castle, and he didn't do nothing. On the contrary, there is a floor plan on the desk inside the house, which is a floor plan of Odawara Castle and its surroundings. It marked the direction of the march of the various armies, as well as the location of the supply depots, especially Mt. Shihuan, four kilometers southwest of Odawara, where a heavy circle was drawn.

"Father, there is news from the water army that the Hojo water army has completely controlled Sagami Bay." Smart Pill came in from the outside, and now all the affairs below will be submitted to him first, so as to serve the purpose of training.

"Well, are the military rations in place too?" Hosokawa Nobumoto asked very flatly, as if all this was normal.

"Yes, the rations should have already been shipped, and they will arrive in Sagami Bay in a few days! Father, is there really no need to gather the Uesugi family and the Kanto people in this war? This is the best time to show the strength of their own family, so that they can smoothly become the ministers of their own family in the future. Clever Pill first reported on the situation of the military rations, and then asked puzzledly, he felt that this was a good time to flex his muscles.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the family captures Odawara Castle, they will naturally focus on the family. The reason why they are not used is to make them a stumbling block on the road to the westward advance of the Tsugawa family, and to buy time for the family. To this end, Hosokawa Nobumoto also seconded the Thunder Artillery Battalion to the Uesugi family, so that he could guard the eastern gate of Echigo: Nenzene Pass.

It is also called the rat pass, which means that as long as it is guarded, even a mouse will not think about it. Together with the Belai Pass and the White River Pass, it is known as the "Three Passes of Oshu", and it is a steep checkpoint for entering and exiting Oshu.

The other two levels are defended by the daimyo of the Kanto region, and the 6,000 iron cannons they have can defend the two dangerous passes, even if the Tsugawa family has 5,000 iron cannons, I am afraid that they will not want to pass the level without paying a painful price!

"The stone and wood used to build the city have also been shipped, right?" Hosokawa Nobumoto stared at Shihuan Mountain, which was heavily inked on the map, and asked without looking back.

"Yes, my father, it came with the ship. It's just that... Why bother? "Clever Pill didn't know why, according to his idea, with the Western cannon of the ironclad ship, it should be like a bowl castle to fall into the city.

"Hehe... Do you know why Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin couldn't capture Odawara Castle for a long time? Both of them are at the level of military gods. Hosokawa Nobumoto smiled and pointed to Odawara Castle on the map.

"It's because they don't have Western cannons!" Ever since he saw the power of the cannon, he has relied heavily on this sharp weapon.

"This is one of them, but the key is that Odawara Castle is a high stone wall, and there is no suitable high ground around it, so it is impossible for artillery to bombard the castle. The most important thing is that its walls are all made of stone walls, and even if a cannonball hits the city wall, it will only smash a big nest. You must know that the cannon is a weapon, and only by exerting its lethality can it be enough to shock and hit the enemy's morale. Hosokawa Nobumoto stretched out a finger and said slowly.

"Second, the scale of Odawara Castle is huge, it can accommodate tens of thousands of people, pile up tens of thousands of stones, and fight a protracted war and a war of attrition with it, and the gains outweigh the losses. Third, they did not use psychological warfare. ”

"Psychological warfare?" The first time Senakamaru heard of this tactic, he learned from his father Nobumoto Hosokawa about sports warfare, siege warfare, and even field warfare, but this psychological warfare was unheard of.

"Yes, the way of using soldiers, attacking the heart is the top, and the siege is the bottom. Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. Let's take a feel for it this time. "Hosokawa Nobumoto pretended to be mysterious, and he refused to find out in advance.

"It's Father! The child will definitely practice seriously this time and never disappoint his father's expectations for the child! We will definitely achieve great things in the future! "Clever Pill Langsheng responded, and he grew up quickly under the influence of Hosokawa Nobumoto.

"Good! Hahaha! It's worthy of being the son of my Hosokawa family! Attaboy! Hosokawa Nobumoto praised a few more words, which made the little guy full of pride.

"Alright, let's go down and rest early, tomorrow! Tomorrow will be a historic moment! Our generals will besiege Odawara Castle! Busting the myth that it doesn't fall into the city! Hosokawa Nobumoto raised his eyebrows, confident in his heart. Still struggling with the latest chapter you can't find?
