The "historical fact" Osaka Winter Formation I know is that the Shogun Army staged an intransigent psychological battle against the Toyotomi army caged in the robust Osaka Castle while surrounding it.
Of course, although there were local fights such as "Battle of Maru Maida," none of them were effective enough to change the war situation for the attacker's Shogun Army.
So they allegedly attacked the 'hearts' of the Toyotomi people in the castle, including making artillery noises ring day and night.
And it was with a strong intention of the starch that we had to reconcile ourselves with the overwhelmingly unfavourable conditions, namely the condition of 'filling the moat of the three circles, the two circles'.
That is, she forcefully commanded, "Reconcile as soon as possible, and keep the army of the Shogun away from Osaka".
Its decisive factor was the existence of 'cannons'.
Tokugawa Jiayang, who had procured the sharpest artillery from in front of Osaka's formation, is said to have fired many shots at Osaka Castle's main circle. One of the shots hit near the Starch Room and several of her samurai died.
Seeing how it went, I learned fear. It's a story I don't know that she hastened harmony.
Because I knew the history, I strengthened the defense of "South Side of Osaka Castle", where cannons could be installed due to strong ground.
It should be difficult to arrange artillery around, especially while a long-distance fort exists.
And without the presence of artillery, we would have been able to bring it into a long battle and lead it to harmony in a way conducive to this one.
However, my miscalculation is the fact that I was not in Osaka Castle myself at the opening of the Osaka Winter Formation.
If, without my knowledge, harmony is established on unfavourable terms...
Given the weirdness of it all, I was scared that I would flag it, and I kept running eastward through my heart.
Well, our Toyotomi army, which has traveled east at first sight from Asu, finally arrived at the port of Toyotomi two nights after leaving Asu.
Fortunately, there's still no way the Hoshikawa Army can catch up.
Apparently, after a full run through the road to Asu, I just couldn't push myself back down the road. Soon the distance from them seems to have gone a long way.
But I can't stay alert. Because it is visibly time consuming to put five thousand soldiers on a Toyotomi boat.
So I decided to put Misty Hidden Talent Zone and Toshizo ahead of me to Osaka Castle.
He ordered me to safely board the ship and tell the people of Osaka Castle that I was aiming for Sakano Harbor.
Now you must wait for my return at Osaka Castle without moving badly.
I had a strong conviction against the gear of history and survived the Sakura ambush and the mess of Otomo.
- I could definitely change history right now!
and.
So the early morning of the next day, that is, the 16th of December (1611) of Keio.
When we were all set up to board the ship, I made the order go off again.
"Everyone!! Return to Osaka Castle to return Tokugawa!!
- Oops!!
Try to get bounced by my words and everyone responds bravely.
Wait for me! Tokugawa Jiayang!
I will definitely bust your ass!!
That's why I went out to the ocean plains.

Celebration 16 (1611) After noon on December 16th -
It has been three days since the Shogun Army began attacking Fort Nagaju and Maru Maida, but both are still unable to move from Okayama because they are not likely to fall at all. Behind that, moreover, make sure it gets clogged, and General Hideyoshi's army is holding back. Originally, Hideyoshi was supposed to be here in Okayama, and Jiakang's main unit was supposed to be set up in Tea Mountain.
Yet, three days after the start of the war, it may not have been possible to help Tokugawa Jiayang while his complexion became more rugged in a situation where he could not even secure his main unit's place of installation.
So he called Somo Tachibana in a rough voice, who kept checking the war situation outside the front curtain.
"Call Zongmao!!
"Ha!"
Jiayang continues to take his caged hand and bite his right thumbnail so as to reveal his displeasure.
If Honta-jin had been next door at a time like this, what would he have said to him?
- Hehe, what is the lord in a hurry? The only way to do that is if our army is still in our favor.
You must have spoken to me with your face like that.
And this is how Jiayang returns it.
- This is why I can't build a young man who doesn't know how to fight.
And...
Jia Kang had naturally kept his thumb away from his mouth when he did such a tour on his own.
And in retrospect, it seemed to Jia Hang that maybe purity had deliberately pretended not to know about the war.
To quell his anxiety and impatience in this way...
It was then. When he heard the sound of opening the curtain, he heard a refreshing voice.
"Thank you for waiting! Dear Lord! Would you like to call me?!?
It was Tachibana Somo with a hard look that represented a serious personality.
Allow him to follow his tense atmosphere and restore Jia Kang's dusty look.
And he asked Zongmao in a low voice.
"How's the war going?
Zongmao replied with a rugged look as he bowed his head slightly.
"Unfortunately, I don't think so."
A terminal and lucid answer, but not the word Jiayang wants to hear.
Even at a time like this he had a pure phantom in mind.
And if it were genuine, I would have answered this with a little hateful smile on my hand.
- Don't worry, I don't expect it to work out from the start. Focus your attacks on one or the other of them before they get too expensive. First of all, a long-distance fort, why don't you? Drop it and you will be able to advance the battle to your advantage because soldiers can deploy around you.
"Pfft... you don't know anything about the war, just listen to your mouth..."
Unknowingly, Jia Kang leaked to herself.
Zongmao, who overheard it, looks surprised and bows his head, "Ha... sorry".
Jia Kang looked up as a hack and waved in a panic.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We're talking here. Not a word I said to the Lord of the Undoubled of the West!
"Are you…"
"Uhm, then focus your attack on 'Maidamaru'. Fort Longevity is robust, don't have laurels. If we concentrate our troops out of the castle, we might be able to draw our enemies from the Fort of Long Residence."
Zongmao tied his mouth tight and said, "Yes, I did. Then let's keep Uesugi and send Fujido and the others to Maidamaru," he answered, leaving the scene immediately.
After Zongmao left the main unit, Jiayang looked up into the sky.
- Can't the lord still even move the main unit?
And, as the pure face that rounded the thin eyes floated in the grey sky, Jia Hang's heart became hot.
"Huh! Well, take a look there. Shall I reveal that I am not yet faded?"
When Jiayang tied the words together, he continued to sit on top of the Buddha in the main formation again.

Within Osaka Castle, people were terrified of the Tokugawa army's onslaught, which lasted night after night.
The assessors, arguably the supreme body at the helm of the Toyotomi family, were no longer returning to their chambers and had endless discussions between them.
"We can still make it now!! Surrender quickly! Otherwise the city of Osaka will be engulfed in fire!!
Oda Yurakusai's scream echoes all over the room over and over again that
It was Governor Ono's brother, George Ono, who barked to defy it.
"Nobody has the listening ears of Tokugawa's dog Yurasai!! Only fight thoroughly to get it! Brother, I will attack you at night, give me soldiers!!
He is not a connoisseur, but because Gui Guangzhao had to leave the castle to defend his long-distance fort, it was inevitable that his brother, the governor, invited him to the room.
That was because the governor took care not to be disproportionately opinionated now that there were fewer 'antiwar' raters.
But Yurakusai is not funny about that. Because even the temple, which is also not a reputation, is solemnly committed to joining the scene. In that context, it was not entirely permissible for Jiu-Ji, who knew nothing of politics, to develop a theory to intimidate his surroundings.
"Hey! Lord Chief! Shut the hell up! They shouted in my ear, my ear hurts so bad! Just let them bark outside the room."
"Whoa, you're gonna tell me! You can beat the crap out of me here!?
When such a murderous atmosphere continued over the course of the day, the reputation slowly ceased to function.
The beginning of this was the death of Oda Lao Dogsai.
He was the one who had taken the position of mediating between them where the fierce arguments were exchanged, but when he finally wondered if his hard work had been done or if he had thrown up a lot of blood, he had graduated on the spot and lost his life as it was.
But a bad thing is that once it happens, it lasts twice, three times.
What a suspicion of conspiracy on the part of one Kiryu, who has supported the Toyotomi family behind the table until now.
Of course it is a rumor story with no roots or leaves.
However, the attack of the Shogun Army, if it is the original, may have been triggered by the "inscription of the bell of the Fonghiro-ji Temple," and the fact that the person responsible for it, and the former, was seen with white eyes from around him, may be irrelevant.
Let's just say that by then the hearts and minds of the people in the castle have run out.
And being hunted down, he finally left Osaka Castle of his own free will, escaping his ordeal to the city of Kyo.
And the day after that.
This time, an urgent report was received that a large army led by Dada Zhengzong had begun invading the city of Sakami.
Whether Sakami was the jurisdiction of the Shogun or not, it essentially fell into the heart of the economy, which the Toyotomi suppressed.
It was important for the city to be caught in the fire, and one of the reputed people, Soufan Tsuda, left Osaka Castle with his colleague Daoton Yasuda to ensure the safety of the Sakano townspeople.
Thus, when one person disappeared from between one person and his reputation, only the parents and children of Arashi Oda and Governor Ono, Jimura, and Sir Ozo were finally present in the room.
Celebrating 16 years (1611) Late on December 16th -
The shouting and shelling of the Shogun Army continues even at night.
Yurakusai, who made a large beard under his eyes, turned his tired face to Ji Zheng.
"I'm tired..."
Yurasai, finally realizing that no matter how loud he raised his voice, the governor would not make a decision, spoke to him in a quiet tone sometime.
"Yep..."
The governor also turned his nosy eyes to Yurasai.
Then Yurakusai blushed.
"It'll be easier if we finish this already. I assure you of the Lord's life and his place of service."
In the words the governor shook his neck sideways as he smiled at his mouth.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Anyway, we're just waiting for Hideyoshi to return."
Yurakusai clouded his face. And he proceeded to his knees, and whispered in the ear of the governor.
"When Hideyoshi comes back alive, do you seriously think?
"What...?
The governor looked around in a panic as he opened his closing eyes wide.
Jimura has already fallen asleep with great snoring, and Sir Ozo has taken to the wall to rest quietly. I mean, no one else seems to listen to their conversation.
Once again facing Yurakusai, the governor inquired with a serious face.
"What does that mean?
"Just like that."
The governor lost his word to the kind of shock he had been hit in the back of the head with Gatsun.
Yurakusai went on to chase him there.
"From what I hear, Kuroda and Hoshikawa returned to Kyushu to lead the Great Army into battle,"
"Is that to quell the rebellion of the Otomo brotherhood?
"The Lord is sweet... isn't it decided? Not to make Hideyoshi a deceased."
"No way......"
"As long as we decide on the arrangement here on Osaka, the heavens of Lord Tokugawa will be unshakable. Besides, the princess, who was a hostage, is already in the presence of the great house. If this happens, we'll just get rid of the disturbers."
If you were asked if what Yurasai was saying was not in your head, you would be lying.
But the governor still believed it.
- How long should Daiko and Hideyoshi hold hands together?
and.
And I thought Hideyoshi's "Dingfu Edo" was the beginning of it.
In other words, if Hideyoshi returns and bows his head to Jiayang, he has told me that he is sure that the current battle will also subside.
Yet Yurakusai in front of him gave a realistic and cruel fact, as he lightly denied it.
Besides, behind that word, I can't feel any of his personal greed.
In other words, it was the same as insisting on "don't look away from reality" towards the governor.
Yurakusai continued against the governor, whose eyes were wide open.
"We've come to a point where we can no longer go back. Even if Hideyoshi finds out he's a deceased, he won't loosen his hand. Unless Toyotomi leaves Osaka."
"Oh no..."
"The Lord is not the deputy of this castle. If you're going to make a decision, it's the only time. It is up to the Lord's heart to save or kill the townspeople of Osaka. It's late today. Think carefully by tomorrow morning."
Yurakusai left that out and went towards the edge of the room.
The governor left alone in the center of the room.
I was physically and mentally exhausted and I just wanted to lay down as soon as it was true, but I wasn't in a very sleeping mood.
- Has Hideyoshi died yet... and the fate of the townspeople of Osaka is mine...
Heavy intimidation hits his shoulders like never before.
He was not even allowed to distract himself from it, and he had a distressed evening -
