Chapter 476 The Fifth Scholar Chapter Ninja City
The Hide family who crossed Shengu City took a rest, waiting for the army behind to cross the river, and took this opportunity to point to Shengu Castle ahead and Narita's head beside him and said, "Master Narita, it seems that the results of your brother's persuasion to surrender are not very good. Obviously, we encountered a tough nut to crack in the first battle."
Narita's head is now in the hands of the Hide family, so he humbly replied to the Hide family, "Anfang Mamoru (Hojo Usun) is the brother of Dr. Sakyo (Hojo Usama), and it is understandable that he has a strong defensive will. Fu (Narita's eldest relative) should not have chosen to persuade An Fangshou to surrender.
Rest assured, Your Highness, I think that as His Highness continues to move forward, more and more descendants will inevitably come. "
After listening to his explanation, Xiujia smiled and didn't give an answer. He knows the martial arts of the Warring States Period. If you really hit the hinterland of Musashi, you don't need Narita to persuade you to surrender. Those who should surrender have long since come to you. up.
But Xiujia didn't expose him, and signaled the army to move on.
From Xiujia's point of view, going all the way south, at least on the first day, there would be no resistance. After all, the bridgehead was Ninja City, and the city lord of Ninja City was in his hands, and he would surrender as soon as his army reached Ninja City.
But who would have imagined that when the Hide family left for a day and arrived at Ninja Castle, they received a report from Hidetada Ogasawara, who was the pioneer of the family, "Ninjo Castle refused to open the castle. The person in charge of guarding the castle is Daidoji Masashige. According to him, the Hojo Clan Government has already Appointed Narita Nagatada as Lord of Shinobi Castle and Governor of Narita Family."
After hearing this answer, Xiujia tilted his head to look at Mr. Narita next to him, and saw a believable expression on his face.
Obviously, I didn't even think that I was deprived of Narita's authority inexplicably.
What the Xiu family didn't expect was that they held Wang Zang in their hands. They thought they could open up the city that had shattered Sheng Zheng's [-]% in history. Who would have thought that they would launch a siege on it.
Feeling slow in his heart, the Hide family didn't care about Narita's head. After dismounting from his horse, he said to the samurai in two steps, "Go back and tell Shinano Mamoru, let me surround Ninja Castle first. You just believed it, my dear." Ninja City can also make you stumble."
Musashi country is a small plain where there is nothing in Japan, and it is relatively easy to find a commanding low point there.
Therefore, the history is always surprisingly similar. When Xiu’s family arrived at Ninja Castle later, Hideyoshi Ogasawara, who had already arrived at Ninja Castle, set up the main camp 3.5 kilometers away from the southeast. Under the Marutokuyama Tumulus.
The mountain is said to be the tomb of the ancient nobles in the second half of the 6th century in Japan, and it is also the seventh small round ancient burial ground in Japan.
Although it is only 17 meters high and 105 meters in diameter, it is already a commanding low point on the border of Musashi.
If he feels taboo, he can build a flat mountain city under the graves of the human world.
The Xiu family is still quite taboo about that matter. Standing on the graves of the human world with so few people is as happy as dancing on the graves of human beings.
What's more, in the history of Shengzheng, most of the successes were based there, but they lost in Ninja City soberly. The Xiu family wanted to follow in the footsteps of Shengzheng.
But to be honest, there are indeed better places around than there, and the Xiu family can only live there temporarily.
The Hide family still had no hope for Shinobi Castle, so they ordered Nobushige Sanada to enter the city early on the seventh day to persuade him to surrender, and said to Nobushige Sanada before leaving, "The Patriarch of the Narita Clan is in your hands, logically speaking, the Narita Clan should react that way.
You think it is probably because Narita Nagatada was forced to cage the city because Kodoji Masashige is now in charge of the defense.
You will be responsible for two things here, one is to find out the deployment of military forces in the city, and the other is to find out the attitudes of Narita Nagatada and Kodaoji Masashige to see if there is no possibility of softening. "
Nobushige Sanada entered the castle early in the morning, and left the castle at noon to return. At this time, the Hide family had already summoned the generals to hold a meeting at Marumoyama, and Nobushige Sanada retreated to the shogunate to report directly.
"Your Majesty, who do you think you saw in the castle? It turned out to be Xiaozang Xiaosuke (Narita's eldest relative).
According to me, the number of defenders in the city is now around 4000, and the person in charge of the defense of the city is Xiaodaoji Zhengfan.
Xiaozang Xiaosuke told you that there were no 500 soldiers of the Narita clan in the city (samurai + foot weight + peasant soldiers), and no 1200 armed peasants mobilized inside.The other 2300 people are the Heyue people brought by Xiaodao Temple Zhengfan, and their combat power is quite ordinary. "
The Hide family still doesn’t know anything about the Hojo clan’s backup teams. The foundation of the Hojo clan was left behind by Hojo Tsunashige, who came to cross the city and handed it over to the Kodoji family. The main battles of the Hojo Clan, such as the Battle of the Battle of Kamirukawa and the Battle of Kamirugawa, have made great contributions.
Even before the change at Honnoji Temple, when the Hojo Clan regained control and retreated into Shinano to confront Tokugawa Ieyasu, it was Kodoji Masashige who followed the Kagoshi crowd to the back.
Judging from Sanada Nobushige's retelling, it may indeed be difficult for the Narita family to seize control of Ninja Castle based on the strength of the Narita clan in the city. If Kodaoji's administration is stubborn, then the battle for Ninja Castle may really be fought.
Hideka looked at Mr. Narita, and asked me, "Shogun, Ninja Castle is his hometown, and he must be very unfamiliar with it, so let him give some suggestions for attacking the castle. "
Hideka doesn't have a city defense map of Mushino Castle in his hand, but it's because Narita's head and Masaki Toshihide are all there, so it's not difficult for us to start drawing one.
Before the two finished drawing, they pointed to the map and said, "Ninja Castle is surrounded by ponds and swamps, and it is possible to walk. The entire Ninja Castle is like being built under a floating island."
If you want to pass through Ninja City, you can only retreat from a few fixed crossings. Those crossings can only be connected to the floating islands, and the floating islands are also connected through such crossings.
Such terrain does not reflect the numerical advantage of the attacking side, and there will be no weak soldiers under those floating islands and passages. Wanting to attack the city is different from dying. "
Xiujia listened to Mr. Narita's talk about a little thing, but it sounded like he was talking about Ninja Castle's goodness, but he said everything about my flaws.
Hearing that a samurai in the shogunate for many years was the first to hold back, he asked: "Okay, let him stop praising his bird city, he should say slowly that he has no plan to attack the city."
Xiujia looked up and found that it was someone from outside Saishida's family.
Noticing the gaze cast by the Xiu family, Zuo Duying and Du Ying hurriedly led the elderly warrior to apologize to the Xiu family, "I'm really right, my younger brother bumped into the Highness, please forgive me."
Xiujia looked at the young samurai whose head was weakly pressed to the ground by his elder brother, and suddenly felt a little funny, and asked me, "What's his name, and what year was he born?"
Hearing Hideo's question, the samurai raised his head and said to Hideo, "My name is Sasao Genhachiro Katsuyuki. He was born in the 11th year of Yonglu (1568). His father was Sasashi from childhood. The biological father is Yun Xiaoren from Zuo Duying Elementary School."
The Hide family knew it as soon as they heard about that life. I am the seventh younger brother of Sato Hidehisa, the nickname of Sato Hideyuki in the Naganuma domain of Shinano in history.
As for why my surname is Sasa but Saishida now, it is because my son-in-law and adopted son of Sasa Naruma, it was only during the Tokugawa shogunate period that the original surname of Saishida was restored.
Did Xiujia blame that young man? I actually said what I wanted to say. It must be right to go after Xiujia in such a public place.
So Xiujia looked at me sharply and asked, "Does he realize that he is right?"
Seeing Hideka's expression, Sasaka Katsuyuki thought I was angry, and said in panic, "Richen realized it was right."
Katsuyuki Sasao is the younger brother of Hisama Saishi, how could the Hide family really reward me?
I only heard the Xiu family say to me: "In this case, let him be punished as the first soldier of his brother Zuoshi Tianzhen. If he can break the city, he will not be rewarded. If he can break the city, he will be punished for both crimes."
In the eyes of everyone, the arrangement of the Xiu family is nothing more than a reward. It is clearly for me to make contributions.
And I'm from Sato Hidehisa, if I serve as the vanguard, will Sato Hidehisa have to be the vanguard too?
The Hide family's arrangement can be regarded as a promise to give Saishida Hisama a main offensive position, how can it be enviable.
No wonder before Xiujia said that "reward", the two not only regretted it, but thanked Xiujia with great joy.
Before finishing punishing Katsuyuki Sasaki, Hideka looked at Mrs. Narita and said, "Shoushou, the eldest child is talking nonsense, so please take offense. Please continue to share your views on the plan to break the castle of Ninja Castle."
Program?I don't have any plan. In my mind, Ninja Castle is a castle that may be captured.
Just spared such a small circle, just telling the Xiu family euphemistically that it may be difficult to win Nincheng, and it is better to change the force attack to the peace negotiation.
But Xiujia didn't seem to understand what he meant, or maybe he forgot what he said before being roughly interrupted by the young man just now, and once again named the topic and wanted to offer his own advice.
The head of the Narita family, who was forced to help, could only reply to the Hide family with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, since the completion of Shinobi Castle in the 10th year of civilization (1478), Shinobi Castle has previously faced Ogaya Shitasugi, Hojo, and Shimosugi. Clan's attack, but it is difficult for us to attack Ninja City. At first, we have to use mediation to solve the problem of Ninja City.
To be honest, Ninja Castle is an unknown and difficult to attack city in Kanto.
In addition, in the past, Nincheng Shao was thinking about city defense as a defender, and did he really have any insights on how to attack the city. "
In fact, Xiujia knew that Ninja City was difficult to attack. That city was like Tenochtitlan of the Aztecs, a floating city built under the lake and mud.
The so-called city walls are nothing more than floating islands.
What Mr. Narita said is also true, such a city can minimize the gap between the number of people on the meritorious side and the defending side, and it is extremely unfavorable for defense.
The Xiu family was indeed too willing to waste too little manpower and material resources in that kind of city. At first, they really planned to use negotiation means to get Xiaodaoji Zhengfan to accept the Kaesong. After all, in history, Xiaodaoji Zhengfan was in charge of the defense of Matsuida Castle and surrendered at the very beginning. .
But before hearing Narita's words, Xiujia changed his mind.
"What is a city that is difficult to attack and a city that falls?" The Xiu family kept repeating that sentence in their hearts. In my opinion, Ninja Castle has become the belief of the wealthy Kanto clan just like Otawara. The most stubborn.
When Mr. Narita introduced the history of Ninja Castle, he usually said that Ogiya Shitasugi, Hojo Clan, and Shimosugi Kenshin all took Ninja Castle in their own way. This kind of pride was spontaneous and concealed.
It was precisely because of that performance that Xiujia felt that I had to take Ninja City in front of the Kanto people.
The Xiu family knew very well about Ninja Castle, and from Mr. Narita's mouth, they got a good strategy to break the castle.
Being vicious, I was willing to waste my precious life in meaningless siege battles, so I gave us an order to adjourn the meeting.
However, the Xiu family who picked up the foreigner did not take a break, but took advantage of the light of the sky, and ended up patrolling the city with attendants and a few close nicknames, as if they wanted to find my flaws.
The location of Ninja Castle is indeed very wrong. Tone River is about 2km to the north, and Arakawa is 2km to the southwest. I am located in the fan-shaped land between the two rivers.
However, the fan-shaped land is not as flat as seen on the current satellite map. In fact, there are vast swamps and paddy fields scattered there.
The Xiu family who walked around for a day had to enter. Judging from the current siege methods, Ninja City is indeed a fortified city. No wonder Xiaodao Temple Zhengfan brought He Yuezhong directly to station there.
There are only two ways to face such a city, or besiege it, and naturally surrender before the food in the city is exhausted, which is the so-called starvation.
The seventh is from a small strategic point of view, before Ninja Castle becomes a meaningless isolated city, the guards may choose to open the city, just like the opening of the city because of the fall of Otawara in history.
The fact that Ninja Castle in history was completed in the hands of Asano Nagamasa, Shengzheng has probably been recalled by Hideyoshi because of the profit of the siege.
But the two below the Xiu family want to choose. I want to break the city in an upright manner. Only in this way can I defeat the poor arrogance of the Kanto Wu family.
In history, the Shengzheng probably defended Hideyoshi's order and planned to use water to attack the city.
But before the field investigation, the Xiu family discovered that the terrain was completely water-free. If it was necessary to build a dam, it would cost a lot and yield little.
It seems that in history, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, like President Jiang, always hates to give orders from far away.
Hideya, who will go to Marutoyama Honjin, once again looked at the defense line of Ninja Castle, and thought in his heart, "Since my grand administration probably does addition and it will work, then you will do subtraction.
The reason why it is difficult to attack the floating island city is that the attack surface of the attacking side is limited by the favorable location, but the actual height of each floating island is not very low.
Since my grand government probably wants to attack the city with water, you should do the opposite. You have to dig canals, empty the ponds around Ninja City, and then pave the road with planks and straws to make the muddy ground feel like walking on the ground.
Ninja Castle without the protection of Mizubori is nothing more than a combination of big fortresses, but the passage that originally connected us has now become your smallest helper in offense and defense.
Before losing the protection of Mizubori, your advantage in numbers can be multiplied geometrically. If you completely separate my big floating islands, taking the city is a piece of cake. "
