Toshiya Maeda, Yuzu, China, mid-April 1911
Around this time today, when harsh winter ferocities have passed and the warm winds announce the arrival of spring, the Oda army has finally begun the Uesugi Hunt.
The Shibata army totals 30,000. Run up the Hokuriku front and aim for Kasugayama Castle, Uesugi Ieyasu Castle.All the samurai who came to this battle were full of energy.
Point your gaze at the army aligned in front of you.These 5,000 soldiers I entrusted to me were waiting for that time to shine their eyes again.
"Finally, the time has come for the snow to melt and move the army in earnest.The Uesugi Clan begins! We'll be a pioneer!!! "
Uhhhhhhhhhhh!!
He shook his spear into the sky and raised his roar.Just that, the soldiers raise their morale to the peak and growl as much as they can.
The volume will rock like the air is sticking and echo all the way to Uzu Castle in front of you.
This morale is rare in recent years, even though it says that a full-scale battle is still to be fought.Even I've had a lot of fights, not even five.
But... that's not impossible either.
The Uesugi family has been bombing that name since we were still bloody young warriors.I'm trying to put an end to the Uesugi family.
Exactly, a historic moment. If he has achieved martial arts in this battle, his name will be passed on forever.As a samurai... no, as a man, I've never been so heartbroken.
- Get out!!!
I'll finish the sentence.
The Uesugi crusade began in earnest. Although the journey to Kasuga Mountain Castle is steep, it is believed that three separate castle battles will determine the victory and defeat of this battle.
The three castles are Uzu Castle, Matsukura Castle and Tenjinyama Castle.Dropping this castle in northern Vietnam opens the way to Echigoku Kasuga Mountain Castle.
That's why we split up the soldiers and embarked on an offensive against Uzu Castle and Matsukura Castle.Maeda Military 5,000 is in charge of Uzu Castle.Ten thousand Sasakura are in charge of Matsukura Castle.
It is important that the Uesugi clash not let the Uesugi family take the lead in the battle by simultaneously attacking from three sides: the Shibata Army from Vietnam, the Takikawa Army from Shinano, and the Hojo Army from Ueno.
It doesn't matter whether it's late or early.If any one of them is out of line, each one will be destroyed.The Uesugi army has so much strength.It is not Date that his history crossed between the Takeda army, which is said to be the most powerful in Japan, and each other.
Therefore, we must drop Uzu Castle, Matsukura Castle and Tenjinshan Castle and fully control Vietnam.Otherwise, this siege will not begin.
It would be worthwhile to pay tribute to Sanada, who thought of this siege.Shizuishi was only promoted to the role of teacher of the Three Wizards.It is no exaggeration to say that the mind is a conspiracy of God.
Then I can't lose either.I will do my duty.Once I tightened my head, I looked forward at Uzu Castle.
About four months after the Uesugi conquest was announced.The Maeda army I lead completely surrounds Uzu Castle, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is on the verge of falling.Matsukura Castle is being attacked by built-in assistants.
After all, these two castle offensives have been fighting in cage castles for about six months since the end of last year, not about four months before the Uesugi Conquest was ordered.
The five castles surrounding this castle.Numerous renovations, the robustness that has become a fortress, and the morale of the soldiers guarding the castle tell the story of the lack of a gap.
When I nodded to the fact that the solution was progressing smoothly, my surname rushed in.
"Excuse me, Master Chang has seen you."
"Mm... okay, let's go."
Ha.
A man walks in and exposes his body as if it were a forged steel, as if it were a small family name that is moving away.
Long dragon.This body is said to be the residence of Hyo-Unji Temple.Absolutely nonsense.
"Maeda-san, I have received a report from the intervener.There have already been countless starvation deaths in Uzu Castle, and the people in the castle were eating snow to feed on hunger.By now, we will be honest in our recommendations for surrender. "
"I see....."
I slammed a gavel at the dragon who reported indifferently.Its contents are exhausted by a catastrophic word.I can hear that they are quite cornered, such as eating snow.
But this is also the world of the Sengoku.The weak don't get anything.It's just being eliminated. If you hate, hate the weak and the incompetent Lord.
Looking at Uzu Castle with such pity, Lianlong murmured with emotion.
"But I can't even imagine what it would be like to continue the military assault during the winter.When I first gave Mori Omi instructions, I doubted my ears. "
There is a strong sense of awe for the Three Wizards in each of the dragon's words.Something is happening in front of me that overturns my common sense.It's not impossible.
Who can imagine a snow-covered cold-weather area where we continue our military assault for more than six months?
Normally, if you attack in a snow-covered area, the attacking side will also suffer damage.Securing a supply route is a difficult situation.It's not just the enemy who can't get reinforcements because of the snow.
Exposed to the cold wind, hunger dominates the brain and blunts the senses of hands and feet.In such a worst case scenario, it has a significant impact on military morale.Cold is something you should never despise.
The first condition for a successful food attack is to endure until the enemy castle runs out of food, but if morale is low, the siege naturally collapses.
In that case, the struggle so far has been a blister.It will be extremely difficult to attack again.
Food attacks in the snow country are basically from spring to autumn.That was common sense until now.
The Three Wizards overturned it.
From Echizen Country to Vietnam China, they hired farmers who had no jobs in the winter to build streets.Supply route connecting Oda territory from the sea of .That is why we were able to continue our military assault without being affected at all by the winter.
That's not all. Farmers who were given work and no longer hungry could no longer wake up all at once, and we were able to concentrate on the food attack without worrying about the back.
Exactly, one stone and two birds. Only one solution, connecting the supply routes, brought great profit to the Oda family.
"The Three Wizards are the incarnations of God and Buddha.Consider that wisdom to be disrespectful by our standards.Fear and worship. Just thank you for meeting the miracle in front of you.Good luck being in the middle of a change in history..... "
Driftstone draws the blood of His Majesty.It's never an exaggeration to say that you were born to rule Japan!
"Hahaha... what do you want me to do now? Would you like to recommend surrender? "
In honor of his master, Lianlong listened to his plans for the future with a dry love laugh.
But surrender recommendation...?
"There's no way I'm going to do that.There are already five castles where soldiers can rest.There is no reason to leave Uzu Castle on purpose.As a gesture of disobedience to the Oda family, I will destroy you greatly....... prepare the example!!! To the north of the earth, let the Oda family shine!!! "
"Haha!"
On my instructions, my surname runs away.
Shortly afterwards, a thunderous roar echoed along with the signal of the faeces.
