Samurai of the Takeda Family

Ueno Country, Kuragano Castle.

Kurano Castle is located at the junction of Nishi-Ueno and Kita-Musashi, and Tone River and Nakayama Road pass through it. It is an important place for transportation. The city was built on the mound of the river bank on the left bank of Wuchuan, 800 meters from east to west and 400 meters from north to south.

In the fifth year of Yongluo, when Iitomi Tomasa and Takeda Yoshinobu's five thousand Takeda troops attacked the city, they were attacked by Uesugi Kenshin's ten thousand Echigo troops and were defeated.

Later, the forces of the Hojo clan entered Ueno. Naoyuki Kuragano, the city’s lord, was afraid of the offensive of the Takeda Hojo clan and had to surrender the Hojo clan. When Uesugi Kenshin went out again in Kanto, the Kuragano clan was once again subordinate to the Uesugi clan. Of Nagano.

In the eighth year of Nagaro, Takeda Katsuyoshi and Naito Masato’s Ueno army besieged Kuragano Castle for the second time, but because Uesugi Kenshin sent troops to Kawanakajima for the fifth time, Takeda Shingen mobilized the east and west to attack Hida. The conquest army, the Ueno army returned to the island of Chuanzhong.

Therefore, the siege of Kuragano Castle was only halfway through, and the Takeda family retreated again.

Today, the Takeda family is making a comeback. The six thousand military forces of the Nishi Ueno Army, Takeda Katsuyoshi, and Naito Masatoyo encircle Kuragano Castle for the third time.

Seeing the repeated history of the Kurano family in Hojo and Uesugi, the Takeda family did not allow the Kurano family to surrender this time, and the Kurano family resisted more fiercely because of this.

In the past two and a half years, the Ueno Corps led by Takeda Katsurai has swept the cities of West Ueno and Nagano's house. Hearing that Takeda Katsurai is famous, everyone is terrified.

Takeda Katsurai and Naito Masahiro have made great achievements in the Ueno country.

The Nishiueno defensive net that Nagano Yezheng, the former head of the Nagano family, worked so hard to manage during his lifetime, was breaking down day by day.

Now for the Takeda family, as long as they break through the Kuragano Castle in front of them, Minowa Castle will be completely isolated.

That would mean that the time for the Takeda army to aggressively attack Minowa Castle is ripe, and Nishi Ueno is just around the corner.

In Kuragano Castle, the high platform of Sotomaru, the red flag of Takeda Hiroshima, was fluttered by the wind.

The flag of General Takeda Katsurai, the "Suwa Daimyojin" flag is also erected here.

Takeda Katsurai Honjin will be set up so close to the city, it can be said to be very risky, this distance is just enough for the shooting range of the iron cannon on the city.

However, Takeda Katsuyori was not afraid of this.

Now Takeda Katsuyori wears a helmet with antlers, a red silk armor, and is covered with a five-color bird feather embellished with Jin Yuori, overseeing the battle under the castle.

Right now he left Mazza, standing on the edge of the high platform, leaning forward slightly, staring at the head of Kuragano with a serious expression.

At this moment, there was a roar of iron cannons under the castle, and the iron artillery team of the Takeda Army hid behind the shield and fired at the Kuraganoya archery team shooting down on the stone wall of the castle head.

At Takeda Katsurai's side, a total of more than 300 iron cannons gathered, and a volley of fires was the sound of earth-shattering sounds.

In an instant, the stone wall on the stone wall was beaten with iron cannon **** to fly away in powder.

The bow foot on Kurano Castle was lightly shot by this prestige, so that he could only lay his body on the ground.

While the iron cannons were firing, the other large groups of Takeda troops on the other side carried the burning wooden stakes, waded across the trench of Ninomaru, and then attacked the tiger's mouth of the crank wheel.

However, at this time, the city soldiers used the iron cannon to shoot at the gap, and came out, and together they used the iron cannon bows and arrows to lightly fire at the foot of the army across the Takeda.

The ditch was hit by bows and arrows, projectiles, and splashes from far to near. In an instant, several Takeda troops were hit and immediately plunged into the ditch.

Seeing that another round of offensive failed, Takeda Katsuyai shook his fist heavily, picked up the army counterweight in his hand and waved it heavily.

At the order of Takeda Katsuyoshi, the envoy with a small flag rushed down the high platform. Under the high platform, a large piece of Takeda with the four-cut diamond flag and fingers inserted behind it was light, sitting cross-legged, and carrying his spears uniformly. Shoulder.

He made Fanle a truce, turned around and picked up his spear and pointed it towards the city. He said loudly: "The second team will be out of the battle."

"Oh"

A phalanx Takeda army sitting neatly and tightly stood up together, and then quickly ran towards the castle of Kuragano.

Seeing another wave of attacks, Takeda Katsuyori returned to the edge of the high platform and stared at the battle once again.

"His Royal Highness Shenglai, it only took three days to attack the city. Our military broke through the Outer Maru of the city. If it is too impatient, it may not be helpful to the battle."

Takeda Katsuyori turned his head. It turned out that it was the lieutenant general who advised him, Masao Naito, one of the four officials of Takeda in history.

Takeda Katsuyai smiled slightly and said, "Ms. Repairman, that's what I said, but Kuraganoya's resistance is very fast and I am very worried about it."

At this moment, the two riding horses galloped onto the platform of the main formation.

After Naito Masahiro saw the incoming person clearly, he smiled at Takeda Katsuyoshi and said, "Yatokusai-sama, instead of holding hands to supervise the battle, he will come to Honjin. I think there must be good news."

Takeda Katsuyori took a closer look, and the person next to Sanada Yukatsu turned out to be Hideki Kanai, the surrender of Kuragano Castle.

Kanai Hideki was originally the elder of the pen of Kuragano Castle Lord Kuragano Yuhiro. After Yuhiro died of illness, the current castle owner Naoyuki Kuragano came to the throne. Kanai Hideki was at odds with the new owner, and was opposed by Takeda Shingen.

In the second year of Yongluo, Hideki Kanai was transferred to Takeda's family.

Hideki Kanai is now under the command of Nobuo Takeda, the lord of Komoro Castle, and is now attacking Kuragano Castle again.

Takeda Nobuyoshi is the backup of Takeda Katsuyoshi, and the army is now stationed in the rear, guarding against the forces of the Nagano family in the direction of Minowa Castle.

Sanada Kotaka and Kanai Hideki dismounted on the platform, and Takeda Katsura's Kachimoto samurai led the horse away.

Sanada Kotaka, Kanai Hideki went straight to the front of Takeda Katsuyori to meet.

Sanada Kotaka directly said to Takeda Katsuyoshi: "The lord, Lord Kanai, has contacted the old part of the city. Tonight, we can meet inside and outside and attack Ninomumaru."

"Oh, isn't it?" A smile appeared on Takeda's face, but he looked at Hideki Kanai to verify the facts.

Hideki Kanai lowered his head and said: "I have contacted the old part of the upper city center. They said that this city has gradually become unsupported under the offensive of my Takeda army, and Naoyuki Kuragano is a recurring and untrustworthy lord. I will work for it again, so they think it is the wisest choice to take refuge in my Takeda family at this time."

Hearing Kanai Hideki's words, Katsuyori Takeda and Masao Naito looked at each other, both exuding joy.

That night, the war that had been silent in Japan was reopened at night.

In Kuranojo Ninomaru, the raging fire that lit up halfway through the night, light and dark.

The sporadic sound of iron cannon shooting under the city, there were loud voices of people, shouts, loudly, occasionally there were one or two frightened screams, and the screams of the tragic deceased before their death.

Under the high platform, the Takeda Army’s Mahui squad, ready to stand in row after row, firmly guarded the main formation in the center.

On the high platform, the generals of the Takeda family such as Naito Masaoto, Sanada Kotaka, Ouma Asahide, Obata Kenshige, Takeda Nobuto, and Toko Masatoshi, all sat on the Mazza, watching the movement in the city with concern.

As the commander-in-chief, Takeda Katsuyori was still standing on the edge of the high platform, with his vest straight, erected there like a javelin.

He held a samurai sword at his waist in one hand and a military man in the other, staring at the city head solemnly.

Suddenly, there was a red light in the Honmaru castle tower of Kuragano Castle, and then the shouts in the city became more intense, and then a fire ignited in the castle tower of Kuragano Castle.

Seeing this kind of change, the generals of the Takeda family such as Naito Masaoto and Sanada Kotaka all stood up and walked quickly to the edge of the table, and together with Takeda Katsuyori, they closely watched the movement on the castle tower of Kuranojo Castle. .

But at this moment, the shouting and killing in the city suddenly turned down, while on the contrary, the fire in the castle tower in the Kuragano city grew stronger, with flames blazing and blazing into the sky.

Except for the occasional sound of iron cannons, the surroundings gradually calmed down. Just as the generals wondered why the shouting of killing in the city suddenly stopped, the direction of the city's Honmaru suddenly burst out loud cheers.

"The city is broken"

Sanada made a judgment.

All the generals of the Takeda family present gave a sigh of relief, and then a look of ecstasy surged forward.

One person walked behind Takeda Katsuyori and said: "Congratulations to the lord, I will break another city for my family."

Takeda Katsuyori still stared at the city, motionless, and instead waved his hand, and reprimanded: "Masakura who was attacking the city did not send an envoy to report back. The situation in the main battlefield has not been ascertained, so don't be so early. Make a judgment."

And Takeda Katsuyori said so, Naito Masahiro and Sanada nodded at the same starting point when they saw Takeda Katsuyoshi's back.

At this time, Ranwen Novel.com, Wu Jian Bantou hurriedly caught up to the high platform and reported to Takeda Katsurai that the city lord of Kuragano Naoyuki Kuragano burned down the castle tower in the city, and took a few followers to break through from the side of the door.

The family has now captured Kuragaye Castle.

Takeda Katsurai nodded and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Master, as soon as Kuragano Castle is broken, Minin City is already a solitary city. Do you immediately report back to your family and dispatch a large army to take advantage of the situation to capture Minin City?" Bao Ke Zheng said on the side. After Bao Ke Zhengjun's death, he has inherited the Bao Ke family. Patriarch, in recent years, following Takeda Katsuyoshi's siege of the city in Nishi Ueno, he was awarded the Wanxing Award from the Three Thousand Stone Territory near Takato Castle.

At the moment, the young and energetic Baoke is upright, and naturally hopes that Takeda Katsuyai will take advantage of this victory, and then take down Minowa Castle, and then add even more martial arts.

Hearing the Honourable Division said that, the young generals under Takeda Katsuyori all agreed, expressing the hope that Takeda Katsuyoshi could report to Lord Ming Shingen, and then lead his own army out of the Tsugazakikan to attack Minowa Castle.

Seeing the high morale of these young generals, the old and respectful Sanada Yukatsu and Naito Masaotoyo secretly shook their heads. They knew the current situation of their family and they could not send out the army again.

Takeda Shingen had just marched out of Kawasaki Island with an army of 20,000, and confronted Uesugi Kenshin for two months. Although he had not fought fiercely with Uesugi Kenshin, his family's army had already spent more than half of his army.

At this moment, it is time to recuperate, and it is not a good opportunity to use soldiers.

And Takeda Katsurai obviously also knew this. Why didn’t he want to take Mininaki immediately? He and Li Xiao were on Iwaju Castle, and he vowed to the heavens to take Minowaki within three years and lead the Takeda family to dominate the world. He still remembers the scene of this scene~www.wuxiamtl.com~ According to Li Xiao, he captured Minowa Castle, and with his own efforts, he captured the half-country land of Nishi-Ueno for the Takeda family. At that time, whether it was prestige or influence, Takeda Katsuyori's might reach its zenith in the Takeda family.

That day was the day when Takeda Katsurai succeeded, and his accomplishments were high.

Takeda Katsuyori can finally showdown with Takeda Yoshinobu, and the two sides fight to the death.

Seeing his subordinates were emotionally excited, Takeda Katsuyoshi smiled slightly and said: "Everyone, the attack on Mininawa Castle was not decided by me alone, but by Gokan-sama."

After a pause, General Takeda Katsuyori pointed in the direction of Minowa Castle, and then said: "But you don’t have to be disappointed. Minowa Castle is there. It won’t move or run. It’s just that the establishment of Wuxun will be a few days later. As long as you can work together, Minowa Castle can be defeated under the armies of my Takeda family."

"Oh"

Hearing what Takeda Katsuyori said, the generals answered together. . ..
