A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Everyone in the riverside village walked along the riverside streets that were not difficult to walk, and after walking around for about four miles, a castle built around the hills gradually revealed his appearance.

An exquisite three-story castle tower is located on a hillside 30 to 40 meters high, with towers and oars arranged in layers around it.

The closer you get, the clearer you can see. The limestone walls of Honmaru on the hillside are shining brightly in the noon sun, making people blink. The stone wall about three meters high is also meticulously maintained. The Ninomaru's bows and iron cannon holes are at various angles, while the Sannomaru is wrapped around numerous houses and stables.

When Xiao Pingtai was anticipating what would happen if he came to attack the city, a warrior on horseback came to the side of the team. Everyone bowed their heads and saluted the warrior. The man obviously knew the village chief, and then he reviewed the village chief's team, showed a relatively satisfied smile, and led the team to the camp under the city. It was so lively with people shouting and horses neighing.

As the saying goes, there is no limit to the number of people and horses. There are probably not even ten thousand but eight thousand here. Xiaopingtai thought so. The samurai who should be Ma Yi took the village chief back to the city to report.

Xiaopingtai and others built a fire together, fed barley to the village chief's horse, pitched a small tent, fetched water, lit a fire with the firewood he brought, and boiled the water in a cast pot. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the village chief to return to the camp, followed by two people, one carrying a frame of rice and the other carrying a wooden barrel. Everyone showed eager eyes, and sure enough, soon a middle-aged samurai holding a document came over, checked the number of people in the village, kept the rice, and then took out salt, miso cubes, patent medicine, kelp, and dried fish from the barrel. And two large pickled radishes. After the village chief sent the samurai away, he cooked miso soup with everyone and ordered everyone to make rice balls and fried rice. At the same time, he opened his luggage and took out a portion of salt and added it to the soup three times.

After Xiaopingta finished eating the extremely salty food, he was ordered to go out and cut down bamboo and arm-thick wood. At the same time, there were still various small teams rushing to the city and converging into the camp one by one. There was an endless stream of horse warriors coming and going from the city. In the shrine-monzen town not far outside the city, merchants and townspeople continued to deliver cloth and medicinal materials to the city and pay temporary town fees.

After nightfall, the camp gradually became quiet, and Xiao Pingtai also inquired about various things. The head of the Yamauchi family, Mikado, the son of the ancestor of the lord, has descended. To this day, the young master still goes to Kyoto every other year to serve as emperor. The head of the family has 23,000 kanfu, and the military service account can mobilize an army of 6,000 people. This time The Shirakawa family who conquered the lower reaches of the river was also a powerful daimyo. However, in order to open the outlet to the sea and obtain salt, the family must fight.

There was no words for a night, but on the next day, flags on the city were erected one after another. The sound of taiko drums sounded, and the army gathered in front of the Otate Gate. An old warrior with white hair stood on the steps holding a document and loudly pressing the button.

First there was the Royal Horse Guards, fifty horsemen and one hundred and two foot soldiers. All of them were wearing bright helmets and promised with a loud voice. Next came the banner's eleven members, a team of about 500 people, also led by the family's elder, Dr. Hosokawa Harugong. Others, such as the Hachiman Shrine worshipers, Inan Xianfang people, the three masters of the hand, etc., etc. each arranged their generals to gather into armies.

At this time, the voices of the sixteen members of Lianchuan came from the steps, and the village chief immediately rushed forward. Xiao Pingtai was stunned at that time. The village chief, a wild little rich farmer from the valley, was actually the Sixteenth Member of Lianchuan? Then the Eight Spears of the Four Heavenly Kings, the Blue God and the Red Ghost, and the Bow of Kaidou Ichi, are so cold, are they really so cruel? Is it possible that in future generations our village chief, who is just over 1.5 meters tall, will also be rumored to be the second best swordsman in the Lianchuan Sixteenth Army? He rode horses outside the Fuzhong City to the enemy camp, defeated thirty people with a sword, and defeated two famous generals with spears. In his lifetime, By the Oni River, who was unscathed in the forty-second World War!

With the feeling of mmp in their heads, the more than 300 people on the river bank were organized into a team, led by Hatamoto General Hosokawa Minome, and gathered into an army of 6,000 people and headed for the lower reaches of the river.
