A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

At the same time, the Hojo generals who were trapped in Odawara Castle were conducting what may be the last evaluation of Odawara.

Inside and outside the large grand room, from the main seat to the porch outside the door, there are rows of rows and rows, filled with retainers who have accumulated here for four generations of the Hojo family. From the lonely Soun to the clan government surrounded by retainers, the Hojo clan has experienced decades of conquests from north to south. Now it seems like there is a cloud in front of me. The best proof is that several seats are empty, which means that the people in the seats have died in previous battles.

The Hojo family member in the main seat was neither happy nor sad, but there was a hint of worry and dissatisfaction in his eyes. Sitting quietly, not saying a word. He didn't even look at his retainers. The state at this time was very intriguing.

Behind him, Hojo Ujiyasu had a calm smile on his face and seemed completely unaffected by anyone. The folding fan in his hand beat his knees rhythmically. The noises coming from everywhere could not move him. Sometimes the smile on the face suddenly becomes strong, as if thinking of something beautiful. The performance of this father and son duo is unpredictable.

Most of the retainers below shouted: "Gomotojo! Gohonjo!" and a few shouted: "Father! Father!" As for more retainers with insufficient status, they could only sit anxiously. There, whispering to each other.

Hojo Ujiyasu seemed to be summoned from Furui Muha (probably his own world), and stopped the shouts of the retainers with his hands: "Sagami Mamoru is the head of this clan, you should give him advice." Then he guided the retainers to see. To Hojo Ushimasa, who was sitting in front of him.

After hearing this, Hojo Ushimasa turned sideways and said, "But it's up to my father to make the decision!" After saying that, he lowered his head slightly and saluted, then straightened his body and continued to remain expressionless. Not because of Hojo Ujiyasu's endorsement of him, it can even be said that his identity at this time is extremely upright. He is called the head of the family, and in times of crisis, he is willing to join his retainers in obeying the orders of the former head of the family, Hojo Uyasu, who had great military exploits and a great reputation.

Hojo Ujiyasu responded obediently, glanced at the retainers and warriors in the large room with sharp eyes that were completely blind, and slowly stood up: "I will use my broken body in exchange for the survival of the Hojo family." "Okay." "Absolutely not, absolutely not!" Hojo Tsunari stood up excitedly.

"I am entirely responsible for the fall of the outer base. Tonight I will lead a group of gangsters and capable men from Yusheng to attack the city. As long as I kill the long-tail bomb, the enemy will be defeated without a fight. Our army can still Take advantage of victory," Hojo Tsunari said angrily.

Chief Hojo Nagatsuna (Genan) spoke up: "Doctor Zaemon, don't be arrogant. I am weak and disabled, so I will bear the responsibility of attacking and killing the Ogitani clan and attacking the governor's family."

Good fellow, all the retainers finally figured it out. The two old ones were pretending to commit suicide to save their lives, and the strong one would either succeed or become a benevolent person. What does this mean? Is the Hojo family having a hard time?

The expressions on the faces of the senior ministers such as Matsuda, Daidaiji, and Ando, ​​Katsurayama, Oishi, Fujita, and Takahashi, as well as Kasahara, Shimizu, Tominaga, Nakayama, Tame, and Inomata were all different.

Although Odawara Castle was still in hand, the loss of the Odawara Town Outer Base, which had been in operation for decades, severely damaged the courage of the soldiers in the castle. Many people grew up in Odawara. They see that ten-meter-high earthen wall every day, which is extremely reassuring and seems to be able to block all enemies in the world.

Odawara Castle is now trapped. Although the castle is also a famous fortified castle in Japan, it is definitely not as dangerous as the outer fortress. No matter how high the stone or wooden wall is, can it be higher than the earth barrier? If the long-tailed Kagetora can break through the earth barrier, he can break down the city wall. One hundred and twelve thousand ants may not be able to kill an elephant, but one hundred and twelve thousand soldiers can kill the bravest and strongest warrior in the world.

Even the head of the family on the throne has given up resistance and is preparing to pursue the survival of the family name. What can they, the retainers who have been here for generations, and even the external retainers on the periphery do? It's just a matter of following suit.

After all, at this point, to be honest, the ministers of Hojo really have no good solution. Although Yuki, Koyama, Chiba, Hara, Takagi and other daimyo of Shimoso are still on the side of the Hojo clan, it is of no use even if they mobilize all their leaders to bring over 10,000 or 20,000 people.

They expect to use 10,000 to 20,000 people to attack the stone with eggs. Maybe they already know Odawara's precarious situation. Everyone has their own ideas. Maybe they have already actively contacted acquaintances in the Kwantung Allied Forces camp, preparing to surrender and avoid death.

On the other hand, there are still 15,000 troops in the city, but a lot of food and supplies have been lost in Odawara Town. It is difficult to say whether the city can hold on for five months. Nagao Kagetora can now divide the spoils and send most of the Kanto Allied Forces home for the summer harvest. He only needs 30,000 to 40,000 of the most elite and loyal troops to surround Odawara. After the summer harvest, he can bring food over to continue the siege. Now he is sure of victory.

Even if there is no siege, Nagao Kagetora is afraid that things will change over time, so it is up to him to directly attack with his troops. He had so many weaklings and cannon fodder that could be wasted, and he wouldn't feel bad if three thousand to five thousand died casually. How could Odawara Castle withstand such a heavy casualty?

The Imagawa clan, who had been married and made friends for three generations, was very happy to have eaten the Izu Hankoku. The marriage was nothing, and they restored Jundong County. Maybe they were still thinking of taking another piece of meat from Sagami Country. Now we just wait for the giant Hojo to fall and get more meat.

The cycle of nature and retribution is unpleasant! The disgusting things Hojo Ujiyasu did back then, now Imagawa Yoshimoto will repay you twice as much, so that you can see the power of taking advantage of others.

In the Warring States Period, betraying each other was not a big deal. No one betrayed anyone. Today, we betray each other and we will smile tomorrow. The surface is hugging, but the back is stabbing.

If the Hojo family can't offer a higher price to impress Imagawa Yoshimoto, then this road will be cut off. It is impossible to give up the entire Izu to Imagawa Yoshimoto. Even if the Hojo family is willing to give it up, Imagawa Yoshimoto must dare to take it. Nagao Kagetora's army is still wiping out the southern part of Izu. Let Imagawa Yoshimoto attack Nagao Kagetora directly, risking huge risks just to lose ten thousand kanbun's territory. He is not a fool. Now he can follow Nagao Kagetora. Why take risks when you can eat half an izu?

As for Takeda Shingen, the man who put down the rebellion of Suwa and Saku, Takeda Shingen is such a thief (sophisticated), will he break up with Nagao Kagetora over the death of the Hojo family? Even if we come, we can just attack Hachioji Castle or Tsukui Castle, so what if it's painless and painless.

A kind of miserable, gloomy atmosphere spread in the assessment room.

Let me tell you something unbelievable, my recommendation votes are more than my clicks!
