This time, the Hojo siege network organized by Takeda Nobushigeru was different from the past

In the fourth year of Eiroku, when the 100,000 Kwantung Coalition troops organized by Uesugi Kenshin went out to Odawara

At that time, Uesugi Kenshin's ability was to fight far away from the homeland in Echigo, and it belonged to the labor expedition, and he only relied on his cheap father to give him the power of the Kanto governor, and instructed more than a dozen daimyo to attack the Hojo family

And these dozen or so big names have different orders, each with their own thoughts, and it is difficult to see them

What's more, at that time, the Zentokuji Alliance was still in the Hojo family, and there was also the assistance of two powerful daimyos, Takeda Imagawa

Uesugi Kenshin may have known this, and he conquered the Hojo clan in order to unite the Kanto clans and increase his prestige

Later, when Shingen was alive, he attacked the Hojo family three times again

At that time, Shingen's purpose was to recapture Suruga, attack Odawara, and force the Hojo family to withdraw from the Suruga front

At that time, the Takeda family could mobilize only 20,000 or 30,000 troops to fight against the Hojo family, so it could not really pose a fatal threat to the Hojo family, the lord of Kanto

So the last time Takeda Shingen attacked Odawara, it was just for show

However, this time, Takeda Nobuyori once again gathered a large army to attack the Hojo family, which made the Hojo family feel oppressed unlike any before

This time, Takeda Nobushihiro followed the route of Shingen's third attack on the Hojo family

Takeda Nobukatsu, Takeda Nobushihiro, Takeda Nobushige, Oyamada Nobushige, Ichichi Nobukyu, Takasaka Masanobu, Okuma Asahide, Hokosa, Takeda Nobutoyo, Mochizuki Nobunaga, and Takeda Shogun Qi Exit led 35,000 elite troops from Kai Heshizakikan and then attacked Musashi

The actions of the Takeda Army were like the banner of the Wind Forest Volcano, and the invasion was like fire, first defeating the Hojo clan Teru army guarding the Koshu streets, and then invading the Sagami Province after connecting the Hojo clan to more than a dozen castles in Musashi

The Takeda Army was more than 30 kilometers away from Odawara Castle

The main force of the Takeda Army led by Takeda Nobushigeru was extremely powerful, and it put on a posture of a decisive battle with the Hojo family outside Odawara Castle

The Takeda army that I saw was brave so far

The Hojo clan summoned all the retainers to the castle to conduct an assessment

The Hojo family's Odawara assessment twice a month is a very efficient rating system

There are two major parts of the Hojo family's retainers who participated in the evaluation, one is the retainers of the outer domain, such as the commander of the legion, and the other part is the assessor, and most of them are selected by the Hojo family governor directly under the Imperial Horse Hui people

This evaluation is similar to a bureaucratic system, in which the lord appoints and dismisses and promotes officials to be responsible for the affairs of the territory

On the one hand, this system restricts local generals, and ministers from exercising power, and on the other hand, it can prevent the family governor from being too powerful and acting according to his own will

However, the problem is that such a system has led to too many foreign feudal generals in the mountains, and the people have formed gangs among themselves, and no one obeys anyone

Therefore, on the Odawara assessment of the Hojo clan political organization when Takeda Nobuyoshi led the army to war, the Hojo family retainers immediately quarreled about whether to fight a decisive battle with Takeda Nobuyoshige

Opinions are divided into two factions: one is that after the general transfer of troops from Anboshita, and the Odawara and Imperial Horse Hui clans, the troops directly under the main family, they will defeat Takeda Nobuyoshige's main army in the field battle

In this way, the battle situation can be effectively controlled

And the other faction, of course, is the conservatives

Conservatives believe that with the completion of Odawara Castle, the world's strongest fortress, they can not hold out

When Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen were alive, they all took Odawara Castle helplessly, and finally had to retreat in disgrace, and Takeda Shinshigeru had no virtue, how could he defeat these two first-rate military artists in the world

Conservatives believe that it is completely possible to rely on the fortified castle to hold on, and wait for Takeda Shin to retreat after the army is exhausted

In the evaluation, the opinion of the conservative faction, representing the opinion of the majority of the retainers, prevailed

However, among the retainers who supported the field war, there was opposition from Hojo Tsunari, the first general of the Hojo family, and the old birthday star of the Hojo family, who served the four generations of the family governor Hojo Hanan from Hojo Sakumo

Both of them clearly asserted that although Takeda Nobushige was not as talented as Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen, it was impossible not to anticipate that the Hojo family's tactics of holding on to the fortified castle would inevitably be dealt with...,

On top of the assessment, Hojo Phantom is not yet old, and said loudly: Even the world's first-class tactics cannot succeed again and again by chance

Kenshin Uesugi is now Shingen Takeda Shinshige, and it happens to be the third time

The Hojo clan listened to the disputes of the retainers, and it was the opinion of the vast majority of the retainers who supported the Odawara Castle, and the two elders who opposed the field were the two elders he respected the most

Hojo hesitated for a moment, and he couldn't decide on a decision, so he ordered the assessment to be lifted for the time being, and it would be discussed again after reaching an agreement

And this delay of the Hojo clan is tantamount to acquiescing in the idea of sticking to Odawara Castle

Originally, the daimyo of all walks of life were afraid of the Hojo family's strong mobilization power of three million stones, but the hesitation of the Hojo family's high-level leaders gave these daimyos confidence

With Takeda Nobuyoshige's main army monitoring Odawara Castle in a fierce posture, the other armies boldly attacked

Under the mediation of Ueno Sanada Masayuki, the lord of Ueno Kuni, Shinta Kanayama Castle, Yura Narishigeru, rebelled from the Hojo family to the Takeda family, so that the Hojo family was in the Ueno stronghold, and only one Tatebayashi Castle remained

Sanada Masayuki sent the army of the general Nobusada Kohata to surround Tatebayashi Castle, and on the other hand, he personally led the main force of the Ueno Army from Naito Masatsuki out of Minowa Castle and went deep under the Musashi Rinhogata Castle

The Bowl Castle Commander was the general of the Hojo family, the general of the Musashi family, and the general of the Hojo clan

The Hojo clan pursued Takeda Shingen during the Battle of Sanzoku, and Sanada Masayuki was still unknown at the time

The Hojo clan naturally did not take Sanada Masayuki in his eyes, and set up seven formations under the bowl castle to meet the Sanada army

As a result, Sanada Masayuki did not come from afar, and did not line up, and directly led his son Sanada Nobuyuki and Naito Masatsuki to attack from three sides and defeat the Hojo clan

The Hojo clan fled into the castle of Bowlata, where it was surrounded by Sanada Masayuki's Ueno Army

However, the war against the Hojo family from all sides was not all smooth sailing

In Shimono Province, this place has always been divided by the heroes, and the most powerful names are the three families of Sano Kozan and Utsunomiya, and in addition to the Utsunomiya family, Sano Koyama tends to support the Hojo family

Utsunomiya Hirotsuna, the governor of the Utsunomiya family, was determined to regain the lost territory in front of the Bodhi temple of the family, and killed several retainers in his family who were inclined to the Hojo family's peace, and used them to sacrifice the banner to start a war against Hojo

However, Utsunomiya Hirotsunashi is a great talent, and he has just started to fight, and his retainer Minagawa Hirosho is in Naganuma Castle to plot a rebellion for the Hojo family

Under the strategy of Mikawa Hiroshi, the Sano and Koyama families, who are inclined to the Hojo family, marched together to beat Utsunomiya Hirotsuna to the point of defeat (to be continued, if you like this work, you are welcome to come (.)
