A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The victory in the battle of Shimoyama greatly boosted the morale of the Yamauchi army. All the way from Shimoyama Castle to Ejirifu Naka Castle, various Japanese lords opened the city without any injuries.

Anyway, you will vote for you, and he will vote for him. Whoever you vote for is not a vote. If you have breasts, you are a mother. Don't do anything that is not beneficial. No matter who wins or loses, the thugs will still have to work hard. There are many people in the wall grass country, just like leeks, they grow again when the spring breeze blows.

The villages and settlements along the way often carried rice balls, sake, and pickled fish in pots and pots to the Yamauchi army. This is not to say that the Yamauchi Army is very popular among the people, but it is just the survival wisdom of farmers in troubled times.

Xiaopingta didn't know anything about this. He only knew that there was no need to eat fried rice and soaked rice. The freshly made rice balls with rice bran and pickled fish tasted much better than that stuff.

And Shirakawa seemed to have abandoned several branch cities in order to gather strength. Along the way, the gangsters and dissatisfied local servants pretended to be leading the way. In the end, they gathered an army of about six to seven hundred people and gloriously became the Ejiri First Fangzhong of the family.

All kinds of free security warrants and county clerk's warrants continued to be issued indiscriminately. There was a wild samurai (to put it bluntly, he was a bandit who joined a group of accomplices to earn wealth). With more than 50 well-equipped infantry, he actually got three A certain village in Baiguan, just waiting for the Yamauchi family to return home with him in fine clothes.

Of course, Koheta didn't have such a good thing as being a fence-sitter. He still held up his two flags and followed the brigade on the eleventh road to Ejiri Prefecture Central City.

Three days later, a fairly prosperous port city appeared in front of us on a small coastal plain. The well-maintained harbor leaned in front and was surrounded by a moat connecting rivers and rivers. The originally densely populated city could not be seen. How many townsfolk are there, and the ships in the port have also gathered into the harbor in the city.

Xiaoping observed Ejiri Castle from a distance. Not to mention, the Japanese were really good at building castles, so during the Battle of Keicho, the reputation of the Japanese castle spread to Beijing.

It's no wonder that the Yamauchi family couldn't conquer it despite sending out troops several times. Koheita also saw that the Shirakawa family's greatest reliance was to build the city with the sea and rivers behind it. Among other things, although the land along the coast is partially saline-alkaline, the silt washed down from the upper reaches has created a small impact plain with fertile soil and sufficient food.

In addition, with the large and small ships that the navy can come and go freely, it is easy to obtain supplies of troops and food at any time. If his water and land transportation cannot be cut off, it is very likely that he will fail this time.

However, the samurai at the head had to worry about fighting a bad war. Xiaoping Tai only had to do the hard work of building earthen walls and tree fences.

Through communication with farmers recruited from the local area, we also learned that there were two thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and four to five hundred sailors manning dozens of ships.

The Yamauchi family only had three times the advantage, and they didn’t know where the confidence came from.

A few days before the camp was set up, everyone was doing repetitive manual labor. Roads were dug, fences were erected, and large amounts of water were released into the paddy fields. All land routes to Ejiri Castle were gradually cut off, but waterways were still accessible within the city.

On the afternoon of the sixth day, the confident answer finally appeared. Boso's sailors raised their sails and rowed their big oars, and took the lead in clearing an Anzha boat. On the sail, there were big words of Hachiman Daibodhisattva written on it. There are still a dozen Guan boats cruising left and right behind, and hundreds of Xiaozao are flying in front and behind.

Everyone rushed to the shore to watch a few morning boats approaching. Dozens of people escorted several samurai-looking men to disembark from the boats. Hosokawa Harumiya, the elder of the Yamauchi family, also came forward under the escort. After another conversation, the entourage Send two wooden boxes.

Xiao Pingtai recognized that it was the wooden box where chess pieces and gold were stored at home. One box contained thousands of taels. Sure enough, after opening the box, the bright and pleasant golden light made the warriors in the navy smile.

That night, a group of dozens of Baichuan troops came out of the city to surrender, and there were many others who escaped from the city one or two.

Turning around the next day, dozens of ships from the Shirakawa Navy, led by five or six Seki ships, rushed towards Boso's Navy.

The Yamauchi army formed a formation on the beach to watch this medieval naval battle. Except for Kozaya, Kanfune and Anzai are both galleys and sailing boats (of course there are also pure rowing boats). A sekifunune is a medium-sized ship popular in the Seto Inland Sea, which is dotted with islands. In order to collect the money for the ship's mark, the pirates sailed the ship across the islands in the route, and it became a sea pass, hence the name. Building a house is like buying a house on the sea, and it is also like a big ship.

Boso's navy was obviously skilled and powerful. The throwing poles on the ship kept throwing stones, and they attacked and surrounded the Shirakawa Pass ship early in the morning. Bows and arrows and iron cannons were shooting at each other in the distance, while Anzhai was rampaging through the Shirakawa navy, sinking Shirakawa Kozao wantonly.

As for the famous roasted fire arrow, sorry, that is Mishima Murakami’s secret that Xiaoheita cannot see. The battle lasted for less than an hour, and all the Shirakawa army's seki ships were annihilated. They were either captured or sunk or burned, and most of the Kozao ships were scattered. At this point, Ejiri Castle was completely cut off from internal and external traffic.

Likewise, if fighting is used to promote peace, a brutal siege should begin.
