Chapter 1108: Battle of Edo Castle

Just when Sanyo Road was in chaos due to the strong entry of the Luo family, in the distant Kanto region of Tokaido, it was also in the midst of a war at this time.

On March 8, the fifth year of Yonglu, on this day, on the street of Guofutai, a team of military horses was marching rapidly.

It was raining in the night sky, and the rain crackled on the hats of the Ashigaru soldiers, and the Ashigaru soldiers marched on the dirt roads lined with reeds with spears on their shoulders. And the horse-back cavalry, who were galloping high, were constantly galloping back and forth between the two ends, shouting orders. The neighing of horses also came and went in the queue.

This group was the main force of the Tai-Tian family and the Satomi family who had come out of Kokufudaijo, and they were marching overnight along the Kokufudai Street towards Edo Castle on the border between Musashi Province and Shimoshoguni.

A samurai on horseback covered in mud and water gallops in front of Satomi Yoshihiro on a fast horse. After the horse stopped, it immediately made a swing, and muddy water was scattered in all directions.

"My lord, this is a secret message from the ninja." The samurai on horseback knelt down in front of Satomi Yoshihiro and handed the letter with both hands.

"Got it, let's go down."

Satomi Yoshihiro was on the horse, and after receiving the secret report, he took a brief look and suddenly his face stiffened. Satomi Yoshihiro took a deep breath and calmed down, and he turned his head to look at Taitian Zimasa who was riding a horse beside him. This time, he was ordered by his father Satomi Yoshiyao to personally lead a large army to join the forces of Taida Zimasa, and he was going to Edo Castle to meet the lord there, but now something has changed.

"But there's a battle report from Edo Castle?" Tai-Tian Zizheng also asked at this time.

"Yes, information from the front. Although Your Excellency's uncle intends to unite with Takahashi Shoyun and others of the Toe Imagawa family, who arrived secretly, in an attempt to completely control Edo Castle. However, it was discovered by the father and son of the Hojo family, Toyama Tsunakei and Toyama Keihisa, who were stationed near there. At this time, the two sides were engaged in a fierce battle. ”

Hearing this, Tai Tian Zizheng was silent for a while, reached out and took out the immediately cup, and ordered the little surname on the side to take the wine jug to pour the wine. Tai-Tian Zi was staring at the wine glass for a while, still dripping from the rain, and then suddenly raised his arm, poured it into his mouth in one gulp, and paused. Tai-Tian Zimasachi asked, "Sure enough, just as Takahashi Shaoyun said to us before, Hojo Shiyasu had already discovered the secret connection between me and my uncle!" If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Takahashi Shaoyun this time, I'm afraid that when you and I tried to use the secret chess move with my uncle as the lord of Edo Castle to calculate that guy from Hojo Shiyasu, it would have been Hojo Shiyasu who would have been calculated in turn! ”

Historically, in the 6th year of Eiroku [1563], Uesugi Kenshin once again went into battle in the Kanto region to attack the lord of Hitachi Land and Ura Castle, Oda, and he also asked for the assistance of the Satomi family and the Musashiwatsuki Ota family. So Satomi Yoshiyao sent his son Satomi Yoshihiro and Ota Sanraku Saishi to attack the Hojo family.

Tai-Tatsushi then secretly contacted his uncle, Tai-Tian Yasushi, the lord of Edo Castle, and asked him to leave the camp of the Hojo family. Dedicate Edo Castle. This Tai-Tian Yasushi is the great-grandson of the Tai-Tian Dao Guan Yan faction, and he has long been dissatisfied with the Hojo family. So the two sides agreed that as long as Hojo Shiyasu sent troops to rescue the Oda family, he would seize Edo Castle and cut off the retreat of the Hojo army.

However, how can Hojo Shiyasu be like a person, how can he not see such a conspiracy happening under his nose? As a result, Tai-Tian Yasushi's plan was soon revealed, and he was forced to flee Edo Castle and go to Toyan to pay Tai-Tian Zimasa. In order to meet the Taitian Yasuzi, the Taitian and Satomi coalition forces hurriedly marched westward and lined up in the Guofutai area. As a result, the famous Second Battle of the National Government and Taiwan took place in history.

However, in this historical time and space, the history of this region changed because Takahashi Shaoyun held a secret letter about Tai-Tian Zizheng and Tai-Tian Yasushi who unintentionally fell into the hands of the Luo family's intelligence cabinet, and asked to meet Tai-Tian Zizheng.

After some lobbying by Takahashi Shaoyun, coupled with the fact that the Hojo family was fully recovering the territory previously lost due to the attack of the Kwantung Coalition led by Uesugi Kenshin, and even taking the opportunity to invade the Shimochokuni region controlled by the Satomi family, there was this time the early defection of Taida Yasushi, and the joint battle of the Satomi family and the Taitian family.

It's a pity that at the beginning of this operation, there was a change, and the rebellion of Taida Yasushi was really as the envoy of the Enoe-Imagawa family, Takahashi Shaoyun, said, because it was really monitored by the Hojo family early in the morning, so there was a change. Fortunately, this time, thanks to the help of the Enoe-Imagawa family led by Takahashi Shaoyun, the two sides are still fighting for Edo Castle.

However, when they thought of the fact that the plot of the two parties had been discovered by Hojo Shiyasu early in the morning, not only Tai-Tian Shimasa was surprised, but even Satomi Yoshihiro was a little frightened, if they thought they had calculated a handful of Hojo Shiyasu, but instead fell into the conspiracy of Hojo Shiyasu, then the Satomi family would suffer great damage.

Just when Satomi Yoshihiro was afraid of Tai-Tian Zimasa's words, at this time, he saw Tai-Tian Zimasa suddenly draw his katana and said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, Hojo Shiyasu is the number one enemy in my Tai-Tian Zimasa's life, I must not sit back and watch him dominate the world, although my sister-in-law married the daughter of Hojo Shiyasu, but at that time, I will never have a merciful heart, and I will use this sword to personally kill Hojo Shiyasu in front of the horse." ”

The rain continued to wash over the bright blade of Tai-Tian Zizheng's hand.

Seeing this, Satomi Yoshihiro also said with a stern expression: "Your Excellency is wise, but now that the Hojo family has taken precautions, then Uncle Gui, who is trapped in Edo Castle at this time, is in danger. ”

"Your Excellency is right," Tai-Tian Zimasa nodded, and said in a deep voice, "so I must order the army to speed up, and we must rush to Edo Castle by tomorrow to reinforce my uncle." ”

"Hmm!" Satomi Yoshihiro also nodded.

Immediately, the two armies sped up their march to Edo Castle in the rain.

Just as Satomi Yoshihiro and Tai-Tian Zimasa led the reinforcements to rush over. In the middle of Edo Castle.

At this time, the sky was clear, and the sunlight was scattered through the cracks of the dark clouds on the horse road of the Izumaru Tenguramaru in the main castle. At this time, Takahashi Shaoyun was wearing a deer antler helmet, a red silk armor, and a five-colored bird feather weave decorated with feathers all over his body, and he drove the war horse to take the lead and gallop out.

Behind Takahashi Shaoyun was followed by dozens of samurai from the Imagawa family and the Tai-Tian family, and finally three hundred Ashigaru of the Tai-Tian family with spears in their arms. (To be continued......)
