Chapter 684: The Kamakura Shogunate Fights

After Angil and Cheng Yue divided their troops, he led a large army to bypass the vicinity of Kyoto and attack Ueno Province.

The Nagasaki clan, the guardian of Ueno Province, led all the troops of more than 3,000 people to meet the enemy, and was attacked from both sides by You Xian and Nangjia, killing no armor.

Angier stayed in Ueno Province for only one day before entering Musashi along the Tone River. After annihilating a group of defenders, they crossed the human river to Kotechahara through Takami, Yinggu, etc., through Biqi County, Takami, Yinggu, etc. He then sent Sho Erchi and Huaidu to seize Musashi Prefecture, cross the Tasuma River to Seyabara, and then from Seyabara to Fujisawa.

The army swept all the way down, non-stop!

The army rested in Fujisawa for half a day, and the troops were divided into three routes. One route was led by Angier himself to the most important transportation artery in Kamakura-Kek Lok Temple Sakaguchi, one route was led by Dewarm Buhua to attack the small bag Sakaguchi, and the last route was led by Zhang Rongshi to attack the relatively small fake makeup Sakaguchi.

Hojo Tokimune had already concentrated almost all of his forces near Kamakura, so Angier was not hindered much along the way, and the three-way army came to the outskirts of Kamakura in triumph, and Angier immediately sent people to the sea to contact Li Ting, Liu Guojie, and Guo Kan.

The Yamanuchi Hall in the Sagamimori Mansion of the Kamakura Hojo clan, where many Hojo clansmen and important ministers gathered to discuss countermeasures to meet the battle.

Sagami Mamoru is the official official position of Hojo Tokimune, which means the guardian of Sagami country, and the official position is actually very low, only the main five positions (i.e., the main five products), but he is the de facto ruler of Japan.

Hojo Tokimune is only twenty-six years old this year, and he is a strong believer in Buddhism but ruthless, but he is kind to his family. His retainers were mainly the Imperial Cabinet and the Imperial Family Adachi Yasumori, and Hojo Masamura had passed away. This was followed by powerful royal families such as the Hojo clan, the Nikaido clan, the Oda clan, the Sasaki clan, the Nakahara clan, the Ashikaga clan, and the Uesugi clan.

As for Hojo Soyori, who disappeared in Akama Pass, he really appeared next to Hojo Tokimune. At that time, after seeing the powerful firepower of the Song army, he thought that it was necessary to let Hojo Tokimune know the true strength of the Song and Yuan coalition forces as soon as possible, so he ran back to Kamakura with humiliation and humiliation, and explained everything he had experienced to the Hojo clan.

The Yamanuchi Hall was the private residence of Tokimune of Hojo, and it was not allowed to enter unless it was a close confidant, but today it has been expanded to include all the guards and generals who have come to Kamakura from all over the world, and there are more than 200 people in total.

Hojo Tokimune picked up a letter and said, "Your Excellency Adachi, it is now certain that Anda Morimune committed suicide by disembowelment due to the unfavorable situation of the war, and the Jiro Ando and Goro Gata sent by me have also been killed in battle. The Fujiwara clan and Otomo Yoritai were also killed in battle, Somasa did not know his whereabouts, but Shimazu Kutsune surrendered Cheng Yue, hum, I really didn't expect it. ”

Anda Taisheng has long been mentally prepared, he got the news a few days ago that the soldiers and horses in Kyushu have been wiped out, can Anda Shengzong still live? The corners of Wen Yan's mouth twitched slightly, gritted his teeth fiercely, and nodded.

Everyone is disgusted! In terms of strength, the soldiers and horses gathered in Kyushu were not much weaker than the Kamakura shogunate, and they had a fortification as a barrier, but they still couldn't prevent Cheng Yue from landing. So, now that the Song and Mongols have slaughtered Kamakura, can they still hold it?

Hojo Tokimune looked around and said coldly: "Kamakura is the foundation of the shogunate, and Cheng Yue's first target is here." If Kamakura is breached, you can imagine what will happen to you. Now, only by fighting can we survive in death! ”

Hojo Tokibo said worriedly: "We are not afraid of fighting to the death, but how to deal with the fireball that Soyori said can explode?" ”

Hojo Tokibo is the elder of Hojo Tokimune, who is in his fifties this year.

Hojo Tokimune said: "I have ordered to prepare more fire-extinguishing things, and when the battle ahead, as soon as the fireball comes, immediately extinguish the fire with water or sand, and the power of this thing will be greatly reduced." ”

Hojo Tokibo wanted to ask again, but swallowed back the words. He still understands this truth.

Hojo Tokibo didn't ask, but the other person had other questions. Nikaido Xingzhong asked, "Lord Ruling Authority, Cheng Yue also has a thick pipe that can breathe fire, which can launch iron balls, is there a way to deal with it?" ”

Hojo Tokimune said: "That kind of pipe is very clumsy, extremely difficult to move, and is conducive to siege and not conducive to field warfare, so we can't defend it, but attack it!" ”

Everyone was taken aback - attack?! In the face of the world-famous Mongolian cavalry, they actually want to attack? What was Tokimune thinking about in Hojo?

Hojo Tokimune said, "Don't think I'm crazy. It was precisely because Cheng Yue didn't think that I would attack, so I wanted to attack! ”

Anda Taisheng said in a deep voice: "Lord Ruling is talking about a sneak attack, right?" ”

Hojo Tokimune laughed and said, "Your Excellency Anda still understands me." If we attack the Mongols and Song during the day, we have little chance of winning, but if we attack at night, their weapons will be useless, and we will be able to defeat them by surprise and with the advantage of the location! ”

Ping Lai Gang nodded heavily: "Yes! This is our best chance to win, and we have to take it! ”

The crowd picked themselves up again. Indeed, although Cheng Yue's forces are strong, they are not without weaknesses, and if he plans carefully, he may be able to defeat him.

Hojo Shizong sneered: "Cheng Yue is like a bamboo all the way, with his young temperament, can he not despise me?" If he despises me, his generals will be arrogant, and I will deliberately show weakness and concentrate all my forces in Kamakura, so that he will think that I am afraid of him, and I will wait to strike him a head-on blow! ”

Everyone was very excited, it turned out that Hojo Tokimune had already made arrangements!

The Central Plains Division said: "Lord Ruling Authority, I am willing to ask for orders to sneak attack Cheng Yue's thief army!" ”

Hojo Shizong waved his hand and said, "Don't ask for help, I have a full consideration, just wait for Cheng Yue to arrive." ”

Bizen Taro said worriedly: "If Cheng Yue personally leads the army to come, the troops will surpass us by a lot, can you arm all the men in Kamakura?" ”

Echigo Sun Taro immediately objected: "What is the combat power of the people who have been armed in a hurry? Once they are scared away and scattered on the battlefield, it will affect the morale of the army, and it is not worth it. ”

Nikaido said, "You might as well gather all the people who have been in the army before and give them weapons, so that they can immediately become combat power." ”

Ping Laigang agreed: "Good idea. There are at least 20,000 people like Kamakura, all of whom are authentic Kanto samurai, and although they have not participated in the war for many years, they still dance with swords and guns! ”

Miyauchi Lai Lian said: "Lord Ruling Power, I want to do it." ”

Hojo Tokimune immediately decided: "Go ahead, don't refuse if you want to take the initiative to join the army, if Kamakura falls, they will also be in danger, and they should fight together!" ”

Miyauchi replied yes, turned around and hurried away. (To be continued.) )
