February 2010 Suruga, Tokugawa Ieyasu
Takeda's conquest began in earnest, and I began marching on Suruga.The territory depends on the cutting. Although it is a treatment of disqualification, by that time you will have attached great importance to this battle against Takeda.
The Tokugawa family has a great opportunity to accumulate power, and I will definitely get Suruga!
I quickly surrounded Tanaka Castle, which was defended by Nobunaga Yoshida, but I stopped here unexpectedly.
The counterattack from Tanaka Castle was so strong that it stuck to the horror.It has been five days since I started attacking Tanaka Castle, and I desperately suppressed my rough feelings.
"Why does Yoshida Nobunaga stick like this? There won't be a chance of winning the battle without reinforcements. "
When I asked my ministers at the military council, I just kept my mouth shut.Until then, it's an inexplicable event.
Well, aren't reinforcements coming?
Such a word of Kogoro suddenly made the scene chaotic.
"Bye, stupid! Impossible!!
"But it is also true that 10,000 troops led by Takeda Katsunori fought."
"Isn't that going towards Shinano?!
"In the first place, there can't be anyone on the side of the Takeda family now!
Everyone stood up and wreaked anger on him.The appearance of Tokugawa family ministers unexpectedly sighs zero.
I'm sure everyone is anxious about this situation.In this state, we can win no battles.
Now, what is it...?
The military council was chaotic, and I was wondering how to calm the sudden ministers... but Heihachiro, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and barked.
"... drink!!!
Heihachiro's roar echoed to the scene, refreshing the chaotic air of the past.The drink of my greatest loyalist, the mighty general, who has done well in many battlefields, will suffice to restore those who have lost me to their senses.
"... Ladies and gentlemen, I am here for you."
"............! I'm sorry. "
After Heihachiro's words returned to sanity, the ministers lay flat on my knees at once.After all, Heihachiro is reliable.I think we should adopt a grand attitude as the Tokugawa family leader here.
"Everyone, calm down a little.Katsunori Takeda is heading to Shinano in order to join Nobuyasu Takeda, who preceded him.It's definite information, don't be surprised.Tanaka Castle's high morale will be attributed to his loyalty to his family.A samurai's praise for being able to fight such samurai.Let's celebrate the enemy here. "
Haha!
... hmm. Looks like you're back on your feet.The opponent is the famous Takeda family, and it won't be settled soon without haste.... that's what I'm trying to do.
The Hojo clan attacked General Ueno with the brother of the former lord, Hojo clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan clan against the eastern Suruga clan.
No matter how powerful they are, they are dispersed when attacked from both sides.Well, I don't think that's going to work.
What I need to do is drop this Tanaka Castle first.One by one, steady progress would be the shortest way forward.
But my outlook was sweet.The next day, the news from Hanzo was something suspicious.
"So, stupid... in Kiso Valley, Nobuyasu Takeda's army is destroyed? Besides, Lieutenant General Gifu's army won't see any damage.... "
I couldn't stop my trembling hands.Seven thousand, the Takeda Nobunaga army was a total of seven thousand troops.I can't believe it's going to ruin overnight...Even if they say it's a rumor, it's enough to convince me.
"Is this sincerity? What the hell is going on? Answer, Hanzo!!
"... it seems that Nobuyuki Takeda was fitted.Perfect victory is next to perfect victory, and you must have been targeted where you were relieved.The owners of the castle near Kiso Valley were all preparing an ambush for the Oda family... and somebody would be foolish. "
Without being afraid of my sword curtain, I accidentally sat down in Hanzo's faint state.
I don't think the Takeda family is so fragile.How dare you stir up a corner?
The development is too rapid.Still, the eagles and others have not achieved much.You can't take Suruga like this!
Driven by impatience, and with many schemes in his mind, Hanzo also told me a word that knocked the eagle into the abyss of despair.
"This battle in Kiso Valley... it seems that the Three Wizards were being encroached upon."
"... hah?
Your head is turning pure white... and your thoughts can't keep up.What the hell is Hanzo talking about?
The three wizards will be three years old.You think such a young child took measures to destroy Nobuyasu Takeda's army?
It's impossible. It's impossible. It's impossible. It's impossible. It's a bug.
"... that's enough... back off"
"...... hah"
I will not be exposed to any more indecency.That's why I ordered you to step back, but apparently they noticed.I can see that the signs of people disappear from around here, and Hanzo paid for them.You're a brilliant man.
Then you don't have to put up with it anymore.
When I stood up unexpectedly, I slammed the pot in the room and slashed the area with my sword.
"You monster!!! How dare you! You wasted my plan!!! I won't forgive you! I'll never forgive you, Oda!!!
Unstoppable whispering.There was a man painted with hate in his sword.
Five days later, Tanaka Castle still had no sign of falling, and morale of the eagles and others was decreasing day by day.
I can't stand it here.We have to do something about it.Unexpected visitors came to me.
That was in the military council.A young samurai came to me in desperate shape.
"Excuse me! Actually...."
A young samurai who lay flat and tried to spin his words was blocked by an angry Kogoro.
"Hey, do you know where this is? It's not a good place for people like you to come in! You stupid bastard!
I was disappointed in the behavior that cleared my anger until now, but the situation is still the same.Let's not ask here.
Good, let me say so.
"Ha! Sagami-sama wants to make it happen to you!
"Oh, my God, Hojo!? Let me through right now!
"Haha!
The people told by the young warriors are noisy whether they were unexpected even by the nobles.I'm desperately hiding my upset.It's not impossible.
But how did Hojo get here? Higashi Suruga also has a castle of the Takeda family.More importantly, there is Ejiri Castle where Naoyama Umesuke lives.
If it's Koyama Umesuke, who is a crowd of relatives, I don't think it's a good match for a rope...
With this in mind, Hojo came into the army.Apparently, there is also Naoto, who gave up the governor.
There were many things I wanted to say, but I greeted them with a smile without saying anything.
"This is Hojo, sir. It's good to see you."
"No, no, I'm not suddenly interrupting my team.I heard that Tanaka Castle was struggling with the attack and came to reinforce me. "
"Hahahaha! I appreciate that.With Hojo, let's drop Momochi, Tanaka Castle. "
I shook hands with a smile, but my heart was whirling with dark emotions.
"But did you know that?
Yeah, I got a message from my son-in-law.
Naruto, are you the Three Wizards?Speaking of which, I haven't even given you any congratulations yet.Please forgive me. "
"No, don't worry.This battle for Takeda caused some noise. "
"... thank you for that."
Yeah, I guess so.The Oda and Hojo families are in a marital relationship.The Tokugawa family in between, it would be easy to get information without relaying it.
... I don't like it.
"The other day, my lord entered Gifu Castle.Katsunori Takeda is also advancing his troops to Koto Castle, located in Ina County, Shinano County.Time is running out, let's drop Tanaka Castle at once and keep the Takeda family's castle down. "
It is a fact that there is no time to talk confidently about such a clear thing, but it is also a fact that there is no time.Let me ask you a few questions.
"And, Hojo, do you have any good ideas?
"The other day, Umesuke Koyama, lord of Ejiri Castle, came down to our military gate.Umesuke is from Yoshida Hall and the old knowledge.Send them as messengers to drop Tanaka Castle by manipulation. "
Did you get a bad feeling...?I didn't expect Naoyama Umesuke to go down to the Hojo family so easily.I have no choice but to leave this to you.
"... well, thank you very much."
Hojo, who is leaving with great pride, can't stand it.No, I can't stand my irrationality any more.
Unexpectedly, when I applied my force to my right hand, the fan broke down with the sound of a buzz.The dripping blood stayed the same, but there was nothing else for the eagle to tremble at regret.
On February 20, 1910, Nobunaga Yoshida, lord of Tanaka Castle, surrendered.The Tokugawa and Hojo allied forces began marching on Kofi.
