Chapter 459 Surprise attack on Ueno ([-]) Stable Bridge City blocked
The Stable Bridge is about 10 kilometers away from Minowa Castle, and it takes about 50 minutes to ride back and forth on horseback. Nobu Okamoto, who was ordered to investigate the situation of Stable Bridge Castle, does not need to enter the city, but only needs to conduct investigations outside the city, and he can return within an hour at most.
Therefore, although the night was getting dark, the samurai in Minowa Castle did not rest. About an hour later, Okamoto Xuan, who was sent by the north to investigate the situation, came back in a hurry. Pull down the evaluation room to report the situation.
"The Stable Bridge City has fallen, and the whole city has turned into a sea of flames. Soldiers from the Toyotomi family are hunting around."
Arresting is a common social phenomenon during wartime, which refers to the looting and violation of surrounding villages by soldiers, including but not limited to robbery, sexual crimes and murder.
Since the early soldiers of the Warring States Period in Japan were soldiers and farmers, ashigaru (farmer soldiers) were recruited by their superiors to volunteer to help the lord in the war, which may delay the farming season.
The trophies in the castle, whether it is the golden bridge, weapons or food, belong to the lord. In order to make up for the loss of ordinary soldiers, many lords often show a default attitude towards the random arrest of ordinary soldiers.
Random arrests are not unique to Japanese soldiers. Even in the history of the mainland, there are countless historical records of soldiers fighting against bandits. This situation was not changed until the establishment of a special army.
Naoto Naoto asked him nervously, "How is Mr. Zhou Defen?"
Okamoto Xuan replied: "The situation is not very clear, I dare not approach, I am afraid it is more than auspicious."
What Zhou Fangfeng was talking about was Momoku Motochu. This samurai, who was nearly 8 years old, was still active on the Kanto stage. Due to his age and seniority, he had a very high prestige within the Hojo family.
After hearing that Yuanzhong's life and death were unknown, Narita's chief and Minrui exchanged glances with his cousin Narita.
They didn't know that Motome Motochu was in Ueno before, and after learning the news from Naoko Naito, they had temporarily put down the idea of fleeing back.
But now that the stable bridge city is broken, Duomu Yuanzhong's life and death are unpredictable, which makes their restless hearts active again.
The two went down to the city together after the game, and as soon as they arrived at Chinzanmaru, where the Narita army was stationed at the moment, Narita's eldest relative suggested, "Now the Toyotomi family is in a hurry to attack Ueno, and Stable Bridge Castle has just fallen, and the soldiers are scattered everywhere." If you want to break through the blockade and go to Musashi, you must seize this moment, once the Toyotomi family is free, we really can't go back."
Narita's words were approved by Narita's chief, and he immediately decided to take advantage of the night to open the city. He originally wanted to take Yura Sadashige with him, and he was his nephew, but was stopped by Narita's chief.
"The Yuliang family is stationed in Erzhimaru, unlike us in the outer walled city. It is easy for us to leave. If the Yuliang family wants to leave, I am afraid it will alarm other families in the city."
The head of the Narita family was persuaded by the head of the Narita family, and immediately decided to take advantage of the time when everyone fell asleep at night to summon the soldiers of the Narita family to come out from Chunshan Pass.
Even though they were careful enough, they still alarmed the defenders in the castle. Naomi Naotoshi sent someone to chase them out and asked, "Where is Shimoshou going?"
Narita took a step forward and replied, "My lord heard that the Toyotomi family was arrested at the stable bridge, and I couldn't bear it. As a samurai, it is the responsibility of guarding the soil and the people. My lord is going to go to the stable bridge to rub the Toyotomi family. sharpness."
The samurai brought back Narita's words. Although the samurai in the city knew that Narita was going to run away, they couldn't criticize him.
Because the head of Narita himself is under the Musashi Legion and belongs to the command of Masashige Daidaiji, this time he came only as a guest general to support him.
But the others here are different. Their knowledge and actions are all in Ueno. After Ueno becomes a battlefield, where can they go?
————————————————————————————————————
Time went back to the early morning of yesterday, when the sky had just dawned, the long boat Zhenqin who had rested all night immediately ordered the whole army to cross the river and attack the city.
The west side of Stable Bridge City is backed by the Tone River, and there are swamps on the north and southeast sides as barriers, and only the south side is a flat piece of land.
Due to the restrictions of the swamp, if you want to attack Stable Bridge City from the north or east, you will face a situation where the superior forces cannot be deployed.
I don’t know if you have played the second battle of the Battle of the Samurai, the Battle of Osaka. There are two small gates on the north and east sides of Stable Bridge City. The open space in front of the gate is so wide. It is very difficult to attack the city from here. It may be called by the superior firepower at the top of the city, just like the shogunate army was named by your firepower from all sides in the battle.
In addition, although Stable Bridge Castle is a flat castle, the previous builders encircled the entire castle with the water siege of Tone River and Hirose River.
Fortunately, in this era, the Tokugawa family has not experienced any additions, and the Shuqulun Gate has not been built in the south of the city. The water borough only has an outer circle, and the inner circle is still an ordinary Tubori, which is not as crazy as the later generations.
Even so, Stable Bridge City was still eaten by Ukita's army who was attacking the city.
Due to terrain constraints, Osafune Sadan asked Togawa Tatsuan to lead the Izumo people to monitor the east and north sides. Although there was no need to attack the city, he still divided his nearly 2000 troops.
Misaku Obi, who stayed at home on the west bank of the Tone River, made the actual attack force in the south of the city only 3500.
The 1200 Higashi Ueno people led by Motome Motochu and the 600 people he brought from Musashi were stationed in the city. Although there was no advantage in numbers compared to the siege party, there was no obvious weakness.
At home, there was a wise general named Yuanzhong, who commanded the city, and the two men who attacked the city, Masatoshi Suga and Toshi Okaka, suffered a lot.
As the main attacker, Okagari, although the Hoki people he led did not intend to transfer to Kanto, but a large number of them were members of Yonikobei under the command of Ukita Kan's family in the past, and they still had combat effectiveness.
Coupled with the Suzaku preparations that Xiu's family gave to Changchuan's sister, his vanguard's combat effectiveness is still very strong.
In order to ensure victory in the assault on the Stable Bridge, Changchuan Zhenqin did not hide it. The first time he attacked the city, he directly sent two of the most elite reserve teams to fight, with the goal of being able to win in one battle.
Unexpectedly, after fighting for a whole day, even Ma Guo was not breached.
Since the Honmaru was built on the side of the Tone River, the defenders in the city had already spotted the enemy on the other side when Masari Suga and Suzaku felt it yesterday.
Although Suga Masatoshi wanted to cross the river and attack the city, the defenders in the city still withdrew the half of the wooden bridge connecting Ma Guo and the outside of the city.
As a terrain with a very strong defense capability in the cold weapon era, Mizubori had already appeared in the Komon period of Japan. The reason why it has not been widely spread is mainly because of its economic performance.
The main reason is that it takes a lot of manpower and material resources to excavate the water wall. The water wall with a width of 3 meters and a depth of 3 meters must be connected to the outside water channel, and the water diversion channel and discharge channel should be set up. Otherwise, the water in the river is very likely. Reverse filling the city.
With the ability of the people to organize at that time, it was a very difficult task to excavate such a large amount of earthwork. With this ability, it is not as economical as going up the mountain to rely on the mountain to build circles of castle pills, and block the enemy step by step.
However, if some Pingcheng built a water hole, there are often two options for the convenience of the soldiers in the city. One is to set up a solid road at the gate of the city, directly connecting the outside of the city, and use wood as a support under the road. The building can accommodate Channels through which water passes.
This is the most economical way, and this is the way to the famous Ninja Castle and Nagahama Castle, Hideyoshi's first main city.
However, because the road is compacted in soil, problems will arise if it is soaked in water for a long time, so it is necessary to repair the road frequently.
At the same time, the existence of such a semi-permanent road originally provided convenience for the attacking party, so it was gradually eliminated.
The second method is the method commonly used in Mizuhori Hirajo in later generations-building bridges.
This kind of bridge must be semi-permanent. Usually, the pier will be built with stone, with wood as the base pillar, and then covered with wooden planks for passage. This is the case for the Okayama Castle built by Xiujia and the Stable Bridge Castle here. the design of.
When a city like this encounters an enemy attack, it will directly remove the wooden boards connecting the city to the side of the city like the Luding Bridge in history, so that the bridge will be disconnected from the city and play a role in blocking the enemy.
Some cities are even more unique. The horizontal branch walls under the wooden boards can be disassembled. If the supporting wood is removed directly, the enemy will not be able to lay the wooden boards.
There are many theories about the origin of Stable Bridge City, one of which is that the bridge outside the gate of the Shrine in the south of the city is directly connected to the Ma Guo of Stable Bridge City. It is named Stable Bridge.
The garrison of Stable Bridge City, under the command of Motome Tadashi, had already sent people out of the city to lift the planks on the Mizuhori Bridge the moment Masatoshi Suga arrived. If it weren't for Suzaku Bei last night, he would have sent people across the river to monitor the south of the city. Under the influence of them, they prevented them from dismantling the supporting beams. Today, I am afraid that even the siege of the city will be delayed.
In order to take the city, neither Okagatoshi nor Suga Masatoshi held back, and the iron cannons even went up to the bridge and used wooden poles as a cover to directly shoot at the defenders on the city gate.
Under the cover of one's own side, the ashigaru laid the wooden planks forward step by step. After the wooden planks were laid, the iron cannon position moved forward one step and continued to lay forward.
At noon, the gate of Jingu Palace in Stable Bridge City was finally connected, and 8 foot light men rushed up to the front door carrying the bumper.
Suddenly, a gap opened on the gate tower of the Jingu Gate, which is the common "falling stone out" on the tower guarding the gate, where the defender's foot light can smash down the fist-sized stone
Since there is no shock-absorbing design in either the array hat or the iron helmet in this era, once you are hit by a stone, you will either die or faint, especially for the ashigaru who is carrying the wood, or when the attacking party swarms up and squeezes at the gate of the city. Great damage.
Fortunately, Yuxi's family has already experienced hundreds of battles. When they saw the opening of the opposite side, there were warriors commanding the top ten iron cannons behind.
At 1:[-] p.m., with a bang, the door latch of the shrine gate of Stable Bridge City was broken, and the crown wooden gate lost resistance and opened into the city.
Unexpectedly, there were already more than [-] warriors wearing helmets and armor riding in Maguo Nei. Seeing that the gate of the shrine was broken, when Yuxi's soldiers poured in, he urged the horses to rush towards them.
Tamu Motochu was the person who trained the Hojo clan's personal guard "Heibei" under the order of Hojo clan Yasushi before, and he also served as the general of Heibei's writing for a long time.
Nowadays, although they no longer hold specific positions due to grade issues, there are always a few of the samurai under his command who used to be members of the black standby.
With the joining of this group of samurai, dozens of ashigaru and samurai who invaded the city were quickly killed and came out. The gate of the shrine was swayingly closed again, and at the same time it was replaced with a new one. latch.
The battle situation between the two sides returned to 1 hour ago again.
For Yuxi's family, it doesn't matter if they failed in the first siege, at least they did break into the city just now. With previous experience, the next offensive will be much easier.
Longchuan Zhenqin asked people to rest for a while and then prepared for the second wave of offensive, but after the statistics during the rest period, the number of casualties reported in front really made him gasp.
"97 people were killed in battle, 132 people were injured, 15 people were missing, and more."
The missing person is likely to be someone who just broke into the city and didn't come out.
Not to mention that Osafune Sadachi was surprised, even Okatoshi, who was in charge of the command, was a little surprised. He lost 1/10 of his team's strength in just one round. How will the next battle be fought.
Changchuan Zhenqin rushed to attack Stable Bridge City from Dubingdong this time because he wanted to be caught off guard. Who knows that the defenders in the city are capable people, unlike the previous cities, they can be so calm when facing the offensive from their own side. response.
But the Xiu family's order was to take the Stable Bridge within 3 days, no matter how difficult the city was, they had to take it down.
Therefore, Osafune Sadakin made adjustments this time, dropped the Hoki people to repair, and asked Suga Masari to guide Suzaku to attack the city.
With the previous experience of the Hoki people after entering the city, Masatoshi Suga did not arrange short soldiers to enter the city this time, but asked the spears to line up to form the first team to enter the city.
With the sound of "boom~boom~boom~", the bolt in the middle of the crown wooden door of the Jingu Gate was not broken, and the bolt connecting the doorpost was broken first.
As the crown wooden gate fell to the ground with "Yiya~", and even suppressed the defender Ashgaru who was too late to escape, Ukitado's side would not give him any mercy. A warrior stepped forward to stab with a long spear, learned of his life directly.
Seeing that the gate of the Jingu Palace had been broken, the soldiers of the Hojo family defending Ma Guo knew that Ma Guo had no meaning of defense, so they all gathered together and retreated to Erzhimaru.
At this time, some Ashgaru who were left behind and could not retreat, directly threw several clay pots piled up on the city wall at the Ukita army who invaded the city.
The ashigaru who won the lottery was hit to the ground before he could react, his whole body felt wet and sticky, and the ashigaru around him wanted to help him up, but he was also stuck to his body by this kind of mucus.
A few ashigaru asked in confusion, "What is this? Why is it so smelly."
The samurai on the side stepped forward and sniffed it carefully, feeling bad, and shouted in panic, "Quickly spread out, yes~ah~help~"
Before he finished speaking, torches had already been thrown at them from the top of the city, and the torches were ignited directly when they met kerosene. Although it was not as violent as the gasoline explosions of later generations, it did burn the surrounding people.
Affected by the kerosene, the offensive and defensive offensives were blocked again. In order to prevent themselves from being divided and surrounded in the city, they could only withdraw from Stable Bridge City one by one. Yu Xiduo's second offensive failed.

The Stable Bridge is about 10 kilometers away from Minowa Castle, and it takes about 50 minutes to ride back and forth on horseback.
