Chapter 469: Ueno Surprise Attack (Fifteen)
Hideka may indeed have persecuted Mr. Narita a bit too much. In the movie "City of Puppets" in his previous life, the director portrayed a peaceful and harmonious Narita.
It may also be because of this filter that Hideka has a lot of affection for Narita.But after Atsuhide Shibazaki slapped Hideka in the face in front of so many people, Hideka had to react.
The Hide family understands the choice Narita made out of consideration for his family members. Although many innocent casualties were incurred for this, after all, the family members survived, right?
From the perspective of the superior, Xiujia understood the decision he made, so he didn't mock him too much afterwards.
Still the same sentence: There is no enmity between him and the Narita clan, and today's battle is entirely due to the stacking of various factors above.
Even forcing Narita's head to exile Shibazaki Atsuhide in the end was a solemn decision made from the standpoint of Zheng Xiujia, Narita's head, and Shibasaki Atsuhide.
If you want to blame Atsuying Shibazaki for being too cheap, if you say that in front of so many people, even if the Xiu family gives him a chance to spare his life, they will give him a punishment no less than his execution. Otherwise, how can you block Yoyo? Zhongkou and Hideyoshi's mouth to blame?
For Atsuhide Shibazaki, since you have the guts to speak out, you have to bear the price of saying this, but the Xiu family still has some sympathy for this man in essence, and there is nothing wrong with defending the main family from his perspective.
Not long after the Hide family sat down again, they said to Narita's parents, "When Daisuke Daizo went south, he took a wound medicine with him on the road. I saw Izumi Mamoru on the way and tried to heal him as much as possible."
After sending away Narita Changqin and Masaki Toshihide, Hideka sent someone to send a letter to Osafune Sadakin of Stable Bridge City, asking him to send someone to oppress Minowa Castle and force the defenders in the city to make a choice.
Following Narita's surrender, Hideo learned first-hand information about Inomata Kunken from Narita, and knew that he had only 3000 troops available at the moment.
Even if Numata and other North Ueno forces were to be reconciled, the number would be around 4000, which gave Hideka the confidence to annihilate Yono.
After the surrender of Minowa Castle, they were stationed in Minowa Castle and Stable Bridge Castle, blocking Inomata Kunonen's escape route from the left and right, and then cooperated with Fujido Takatora, who supported Iwakaki Castle, and the Sanjunhui to wipe out Inomata Kuninen.
In addition, Xiujia continued to send people to send letters to Shinano, urging Maeda Toshiie and Uesugi Kagekatsu to speed up, and he himself returned to guard Isesaki Castle as quickly as possible.
As for the hundreds of people captured by the Narita Armament, although Narita's head had already surrendered, the Hide family did not fully trust Narita, so they kept him in the formation and sent his troops to Hirai Castle to Akashi Jing Dear watch.
What makes Hideka happy is that with Akashi Keichi leading the third team to garrison Hirai Castle, Hideka's team's horse farm staff, Takeuchi Hisaji and others will be switched out and come to reconcile with Hideka.
In this way, the Hide family regrouped 1.2 troops on the Isesaki line. Although there is still a big gap compared with the 4 men of the Hojo family on the opposite side, it also gave the Hide family a breakaway along the Tone River and Hojo. Arm wrestling confidence.
In fact, just as Hideo had imagined before, shortly after Hideo returned to Isesaki, the ninja brought the latest news from the Hojo family that the Hojo clan had settled in Ninja Castle.
Hearing the news that the Hojo Clan was stationed in Ninja Castle, Hideiya asked Tsusue Sannojo to send additional ninjas to collect information on the Hojo side, and at the same time asked Gunmetsu to send spies to search for clues along the Tone River.
The intelligence war between the two sides had already started long before Hideo's departure. With the arrival of both Hideo and Hojo Ujimasa, Fuma Kotaro, who had offended the Hojo Ujimasa because of an intelligence error, exerted his strength, which made the intelligence war on Ueno Musashi's side intensify. In white heat.
Although Xiujia didn't personally experience the danger, from the intelligence handed over to us and the bloody letters intercepted from the enemy, Xiujia could feel the cruelty of the underground war.
In fact, as Hideka had expected, the Hojo clan government did not make any further moves after entering Ninja Castle.
Hideka originally thought that he might take action one day after he moved in, but after waiting for two days, he didn't see any movement from the Hojo Clan.
Hideo was waiting in Isesaki Castle, waiting for the Hojo clan to respond. He knew that Hideyoshi was about to send troops, so he could afford it.
But the Hojo clan didn't know, and still understood this war as a local war, and planned to follow the old routine to use up the Hideka's patience on the front line first, find out the loopholes, and then fight the Hideka decisively.
Don't think that Hojo's strategy is stupid. In fact, it was the strategy with the highest winning rate during the Warring States period.
Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin both adhered to the principle of letting the opponent move first in the second and third battles of Kawanakajima, because judging from the organization of the troops at that time, once the troops were pulled out and started marching, it was very easy to When there is a gap of pulling, it is easy to be taken advantage of by the opponent.
So if you look back at the four Kawanakajima battles, both Takeda and Uesugi are trying their best to attract the attention of each other from other places, put pressure on the opponent, and force the opponent to act first.
Because he was slightly inferior to Takeda Shingen in the local media, Uesugi Kenshin was forced to take the first step almost every time, and finally he was able to barely draw with Takeda Shingen, thanks to his superb tactics.
However, in terms of strategy, after four times of Kawanakajima, the forces of the Uesugi family were gradually cleared out of Shinano, and they were the real losers.
Especially for a large and complex army like the Hojo clan, there is a gap in command. This also made it possible for Satake Yoshinobu to seize the opportunity when the Hojo clan led an absolutely superior force to attack Shimono a few years ago. Ended in defeat.
Facing the long-famous Hideka, the Hojo clan did not dare to react easily. After two days of rest in Ninja Castle, perhaps because the information collection was almost done, he finally made a change.
First of all, Hojo Shiteru was ordered to lead 8000 people from Shimono and Shimono across the Tone River and stationed in Guanlin City to test the reaction of the Hide family on the other side.
The Xiu family received the information immediately, but unexpectedly did not give any news.
Firstly, he doesn't have many troops at hand now, and he doesn't want to divide his troops to defend; secondly, he is waiting for a news, waiting for the news that Osafune Sadao and Fujido Takatora defeated Inomata Kuninen.
Previously, I received information that Inomata Kuniken came out of Numata Castle, and after traveling for one day, he heard the news of Minowa Castle's surrender, and chose to stop at Shirai Castle on the way to wait for reinforcements.
Hideka doesn't know where the news leaked out, and those who asked Masaki Liying to persuade Minowon Castle to surrender must be extra careful not to leak the news, the purpose is to lure Kunima Inomata out to annihilate Yono.
But since Inomata Kuniken has chosen to die after the death of the cage city, Osafune Sadakin has no other choice. After receiving reinforcements from the rear Hanafang Masanari and Nagamune's Xinqin, let them lead the 7000-member meeting as the vanguard. And 3000 Ueno people from Minowa Castle went north to surround Shirai Castle.
Fujido Takatora's journey was one day later than that of Inomata Kunisen. After Osafuna Sadain led 1 people to surround Inomata Bangken, he also led 4000 people to Shirai Castle.
Longfune Sadakin recruited Fujido Takatora to make a plan, and after cleaning up the surrounding large and small fortresses together, he left Inomata Bangken to Fujido Takatora's cooking.
He will give Togawa Tatsuyasu's Izumo crowd to him as support, and he will lead more than 5000 members of the association and 3000 Ueno people to the south to support Hideya.
On the third day, the Hojo Clan, who did not respond to the Hojo Clan crossing the river into Ueno, responded again and ordered Daidoji Masashige to lead 4000 people to attack Oshio County from the left. It couldn't be better.
At the same time, he ordered the army to be stationed in Shengu City to attract Xiujia's attention, so as to cover up the role of Daosi Zhengfan as a surprise soldier.
Hojo Jiteru, who had already crossed the river on the north side, advanced to Jinshan Castle, trying to connect with Inomata Kuniken and Tame Motochu to investigate the situation in Ueno.
Hideya thought that his Isesaki front would start the first battle with the Hojo Clan, but he didn't expect that the first shot would actually attack Fujioka Castle and Hirai Castle guarded by Akashi Keichan on the west side.
With the sound of iron cannons across the sky, it announced the start of the first hot battle between the 2 people of Hidekafang and the 4 people of the Hojo clan.
But it is a pity that after a morning of fierce fighting, I thought that Hirai Castle had been demolished, and the small Daodaoji Masashige of Fujioka Castle was devastated in these two cities.
Coupled with the fact that the military strength is obviously not dominant, Daodaoji Masashige had no choice but to retreat after fighting all morning and throwing down more than a hundred corpses, stationed the troops in Honjo Castle, and at the same time went to Fukaya Castle to explain the situation to the Hojo Clan Government.
Now that the Toyotomi Army on the western front was prepared, the Hojo Clan immediately turned his attention to the east. After all, Hojo Cistercian moved the main battle north to Jinshan Castle, and did not encounter any enemies along the way. This made the Hojo Clan face the opposite Toyotomi Army doubts about its strength.
He believes that Toyotomi's army must be insufficient in strength, and the east side is where his weakness lies. If he can bypass the east side and cross the river Ueno, he may be able to fight against Toyotomi Hide's family.
But this plan was dissuaded by Banbugang Jiang Xuezhai, "I had a relationship with General You once, and I thought he was a person who didn't like to follow the rules. In addition, after hearing about his achievements for many years, I thought his favorite thing was surprise. Recruit to control the enemy.
Now that Ueno East has such a big flaw, it is precisely his response that he does not respond. This may be the flaw of the Toyotomi family in the eyes of the lord, but there is no way he wants to lure us into action to expose the flaw!
In my opinion, General Toyotomi's favorite thing is to win by surprise. Looking at his past battles, he fought an upright battle with Nagamune's family when he was in Iyo, and this battle ended in a draw.
It can be seen from this that perhaps the right general himself is not good at fighting a frontal battle, why should His Highness sacrifice his own strengths and use his own weaknesses to meet the enemy's strengths?
Now that he is working hard on an expedition, the army rations must be insufficient, and later, His Highness Guan Bai urged the results of the battle.If His Highness sticks to the formation and confronts the right general, I can say that he must be the first one who can't sit still. "
Banbugang Jiang Xuesai's conversation seemed very reasonable, and it was adopted by the Hojo clan government. The army stopped at Fukaya Castle to confront the Toyotomi army on the opposite bank, and even stopped the actions of Jinshan Castle Hojo Shisho.
On the fourth day of the occupation, Hideo received good news. 1.5 troops from Maeda Toshiie and Ogasawara Hidetaka had entered Takasaki, and 1 troops led by Uesugi Jingsheng had crossed the Three Kingdoms and entered Ueno. Go south on the Joetsu Line.
The proximity of reinforcements from the rear made the Hide family emboldened, and sent Osakane Sadakin to the east to station in Xintian Castle and Jinjing Castle, and directly confronted Hojo Ujishao on Jinshan Castle.
Hideka's actions did attract the attention of the Hojo side, and the Hojo Clan Zhenggang wanted to respond, so he called all the senior generals to start a military meeting in Shengu City that night.
Hojo Ujimasa thinks it is inconceivable that Toyotomi Hideo sent out people with the same number as Hojo Jisho to confront him. After all, there are nearly [-] people in Ueno including Inomata Kuninen and Tame Motochu.
There is only one possibility that Toyotomi Hide's family can make such a move, either that Stable Bridge Castle and Minowa Castle have fallen, and Tame Motochu and Inomata Bangken are defeated, or that another team of reinforcements came from behind Toyotomi's house.
After some routines, they think that the former situation is more likely. At this moment, Inomata Kuniken and Tame Motochu may be in danger.
Although I don't know how the Toyotomi Hide family managed to quickly annihilate their Ueno army, but since the matter has come to this point, a new response must be made to defeat the Toyotomi Hide family in Ueno.
But when they were discussing, a samurai came from the south at a fast speed, and before he arrived, he shouted loudly to the camp, "Suruga urgent report! Suruga urgent report!"
Almost at the same time when Hojo's envoys brought Hojo Ujimasa information about Toyotomi Hideyoshi's departure from Kyoto, Hideo, who was sitting in Isesaki Castle, also received information from his own ninja who traveled across mountains and mountains along the Nakasendo.
Opening this letter in front of everyone, the Xiu family announced to the warriors in the formation, "Everyone, His Highness Guan Bai entered the battle in Kyoto 7 days ago. The army has a mighty force of more than ten thousand people. This is our opportunity to make contributions! "
Encouraged by Xiujia, nearly ten thousand horses in Isesaki Castle shouted "Hehehe!~" to boost their morale.
After Hideya conveyed this exciting news to his retainers, he summoned Takeda Hidenobu and Kagawa Keinori, and said to the map in front of him, "Now the general trend of Ueno has been decided, and Kunima Inomata is no more than a disease." That's all.
Councilor Uesugi entered Ueno from Echigo, and within two days he could arrive at Shirai Castle. At that time, our military strength reached 1.6, and there were only 3000 defenders in the city. Shirai Castle was ready to go.
Although there are 8000 people in Hojo Shizhao in the east, they are already in a deadly situation.Without the support of the Hojo Clan, it would be difficult for this unit to go back.
With Hojo Ujimasa's ability and character, I can even think of his surprised expression when he heard that Guan Bai sent 20 troops from Kyoto and his determination to use the cage city Odawara for himself afterwards.
Little do they know that his retreat to the north this time without making an inch of merit is actually consuming the confidence of the Kanto warriors in the Hojo clan. I dare to conclude that the army he belongs to when he goes south this time will inevitably fall apart.
There are more than 4 troops going north, and 2 troops back to Odawara are not bad.
What we have to do now is to involve the main force of the Hojo clan's government, so that they cannot retreat calmly, at least so that he and Ueno's Hojo Jizhao Army cannot take care of each other. "
Speaking of this, Hideo suddenly raised his head, and ordered to them, "Taro goes to Maeda's council, and asks him to go south as soon as possible to support Fujioka Castle, cross the Kagami River, enter Musashi, and attack Honjo Castle.
Saburo Goro went to Mizusaku's place again and told him to throw out the scouts, and if he saw Hojo's running, I would bite him to death. "
"Hehe" Xiujia sneered twice and continued: "Since you are in Ueno, how can you not leave some souvenirs?
I don't have the ability to chase and annihilate the Hojo Clan's 4w army, but I still have the ability to eat its army and the 8000 Hojo Clan Zhao.
Although the number of these 8000 people is small, it is enough for us to have a tooth-beating festival. "
