Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

The current mainstream of warfare is not iron cannon.

Although such weapons have a longer range than all kinds of cold weapons, and are easier to use and more accurate than bows and arrows, warriors have always upheld the spirit of daring to sacrifice. This kind of weapon has a wide range and good damage. To them, the weapon seems to make them cowardly shrink back.Therefore, except for some mercenaries who will use it in combat, most daimyos dismiss iron cannons.

Of course, it's not like there's nothing at all.But except for the occasional use of surprise attacks, or being driven into a desperate situation like Tokugawa Ieyasu, they rarely use iron cannons on a large scale-this makes Oda Nobunaga even more alien.

Oda Nobunaga once got several iron cannons from his father-in-law Saito Dosan, and then it was like opening the door to a new world.Not only paid for craftsmen to improve iron cannons, but also used them more and more frequently.It’s just that iron cannons are items that flowed into Japan from the Nanman side after all. The craftsmen in Tanegashima who were the first to come into contact with these weapons learned how to make iron cannons after getting acquainted with the Nanman people, but after all, the production speed was limited. Most of the guns that can be sold are brought by the southern barbarians-this will inevitably lead to a relatively high price.

Although Hashiba Hideyoshi was promoted from a businessman to a low-level samurai by Saburo, he was actually just a spy.He didn't care about the spirit of the so-called samurai, and he tasted the sweetness brought by iron cannons for the first time when he was Empress Kanazaki. After gaining his own power, he began to consciously purchase iron cannons on a large scale, and then——

Under Takenaka Hanbei's few words, he had to give it all to Saburo.

...I didn't expect that Saburo would want to collect iron cannons one day, and because he wanted to use iron cannons to fight in the future, he didn't stop Hanbei Takenaka from going to the warehouse. The records of the purchase and consumption of iron cannons are also clear .So now that Saburo's order came, Hashiba Hideyoshi didn't even have room to hide.

Sure enough, Oda Nobunaga was born at odds with him! !

Hideyoshi Hashiba could even see the blue veins on his brother's neck bulging due to the rage. It was really embarrassing. At this time, Hideyoshi Hashiba was able to maintain a smiling face, busy in the threatening question of Hanbei Takenaka Nodding his head: "That's natural! Even if Mr. Takenaka doesn't say anything, I will send the iron cannon over—"

Hashiba Hidecho suddenly burst out laughing.

Soon he got a threatening look from Hashiba Hideyoshi.Because Hanbei Takenaka was present, he seemed to be gently reminding and condemning his younger brother's rudeness, but for Hidecho, who knew Hashiba Hideyoshi well, this gentleness that was just right and superficial made him realize How cruel is this person who is his biological brother by blood.

The indifference hidden under the warmth is colder and sharper than the ice and the blade.

Hashiba Hideki's long smile widened.

The elder brother who kicked him into the river when he was only three or four years old will only become more and more ruthless as he grows older—but this is also one of the necessary conditions for those in power

Nobunaga, who always has fantastic ideas, was born with the help of his loyal retainers. He kept the poisonous snake by his side without knowing it—or did he really have a ditch in his chest, and he will be born at this time? see everything

No matter what Nobunaga himself thought, at least this time, Hashiba Hideyoshi was powerless to resist.From this point of view, it is really a smart move for Hashiba Hideyoshi to offer the iron cannon without the slightest bit of reluctance.

"Mr. Takenaka hurry up and send someone to deliver the iron cannon to His Highness. After all, you have been urged so much, it will definitely be of great use." Without continuing to challenge Hashiba Hideyoshi's nerves, Hashiba Hideyoshi quickly said this to Takenaka Hanbei .

Unlike his elder brother's loyalty, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he has never concealed his frivolity. Even if he made great achievements with Hashiba Hideyoshi, his sloppy appearance is still untrustworthy.

But for such Hidecho Hashiba, Hanbei Takenaka's line of sight was still so calm that it could be called sharp scrutiny.Even if Hashiba Hideagaru knows that he has never revealed his identity, and even testified to his elder brother that "he was a needle dealer before", under this kind of sight, there is a secret and excitement of being seen through.

At the same time, he also clearly understood that it was absolutely impossible for Takenaka Hanbei to know their true identities—it wasn't because they didn't have enough vision, but because they were in different circles.

The Takenaka family, which can be traced back to Genji Qinghe, is absolutely impossible to understand the style of ninja spies.

However, just because of a little bit of wrong feeling, he can still be vigilant against Hashiba Hideyoshi persistently-even if such a Takenaka Hanbei is only in Yokoyama Castle for a day, Hashiba Hideyoshi cannot act rashly.He will gain the loyalty of Takenaka Hanbei. In terms of pure luck, Oda Nobunaga is too lucky.

Such a role is rarely encountered by ordinary people in a lifetime.

Probably because he felt that Saburo was more important, or maybe because he felt strange but never got hold of Brother Hashiba, Hanbei Takenaka just paused for a moment, and quickly replied calmly.

"Then please send two more soldiers. Send the things to His Highness as soon as possible."

Years passed quickly.

Because of Shingen's threat, except for Saburo, all the retainers are also worried about celebrating the New Year.After the new year, Takeda Shingen seemed to show that he was still a threat, and soon sent troops again, entered Mikawa and surrounded Noda Castle on January 1.

Before that, he stayed in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for a long time - until January 1th.

The supply of war food and grass at this time is always quite difficult.Whether it is an ashigaru or a general, they always prepare feeding bags, fire bags and water canisters first, and there are usually two to three days of food in them.From Kai to Enjiang, and now to Mikawa, Takeda's supply line has been stretched very long. Asai's family is currently surrounded by Hashiba Hideyoshi who is guarding there, and he has no ability to help for the time being.

Takeda's military supplies are already feeling the pressure, but Takeda's army still stayed in the Ministry of Justice for nearly ten days, which has a huge impact on the consumption of food and grass or the morale of soldiers, but Takeda Shingen still chooses to do this - there is only one way Perhaps, it was that his body was indeed unable to hold on anymore, and there was no way to hide this fact.

But even so, once Takeda Shingen took action, it still brought great pressure to Oda and Tokugawa!

After a New Year's Eve, instead of continuing to Mino, he changed to Sanhe and continued to capture the territory of the Tokugawa family.The Tokugawa family was already thin in strength and unable to fight anymore, so they could only watch Takeda attack.And the Oda family couldn't divide their forces to fight against Takeda Shingen, and they couldn't divide their forces at this time either.

Fortunately, Hamamatsu Castle, where Tokugawa Ieyasu is located, is not in danger of falling, and Oda Nobunaga did not face the pressure of Takeda.But these two are not good news-because Takeda Shingen just let them go temporarily.

Takeda Shingen's purpose has never changed!

Even if everyone in the world already knew that he was seriously ill, he still had to go to Luoyang before he died!

Takeda had already made a plan to break through the Tokugawa family and then the Oda family before.Now he does not intend to change the way of fighting - the former territory of the Tokugawa family is Mikawa, Suruga and Yuanjiang.Among them, Suruga was the first to be invaded by the Takeda army, and then Enjiang was quickly captured by the Takeda army for most of it. The only remaining Mikawa is the place where Tokugawa Ieyasu made his fortune and the place where most of his soldiers came from.

Mikawa fell into the hands of Takeda Shingen, then the purpose of the Tokugawa family being breached has been achieved.

Tokugawa Ieyasu could see this, but he was powerless.

Because the Noda Castle that the Takeda Army is attacking now is the territory of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but in 1571, the Takeda Army had already broken through the Noda Castle, but after retreating, it was taken back by Tokugawa Ieyasu-he will move the Honmaru to Hamamatsu Castle in Yuanjiang , also have concerns in this regard.

And now

Not to mention that Tokugawa Ieyasu is currently unable to fight in the field, even if he has enough troops, it will be difficult for him to rescue Noda Castle.Moreover, having faced the terror of Takeda Shingen, even though Tokugawa Ieyasu knew intellectually that Takeda could not be allowed to act like this, emotionally he did not want to face Takeda again.

Such a frightening three-way battle that completely fell into the opponent's hands can still make Tokugawa Ieyasu's back full of cold sweat when he thinks about it now.Even though it had been a few days, he had been freed from that despair, but the guilt that caused countless soldiers and many retainers to die for him was still heavy in his heart.

He couldn't stop Takeda Shingen.Moreover, it is meaningless to defend Noda Castle even if it is desperately defending the castle.

Because a city that has been breached once will inevitably be breached a second time.

Tokugawa Ieyasu could only try to write a letter to Uesugi Kenshin, but Uesugi Kenshin couldn't get away-in the end, Tokugawa Ieyasu could only watch Noda Castle fall as he watched Futamata Castle fall at that time.

After he wrote a letter with Saburo, he went tearfully to exchange the prisoners of war for Noda Castle's defender Guan Nuo Dingying.

...Then Tokugawa learned a shocking secret!

He was so scared that he immediately wrote to Saburo! !

In times of war like this, sending letters is always inconvenient.In particular, most of Yuanjiang was occupied by the Takeda army, and it took too long to deliver the letter, and there was a risk of being discovered.By the time Saburo received the letter, he had already received the information from ahead——

It is the same thing that was written in Tokugawa Ieyasu's letter, that is, "Takeda Shingen stopped fighting."

Because of the subtle time difference between the time of writing the letter and the transmission of the information, the information is more detailed, and Takeda Shingen has moved from Noda Castle to Nagashino Castle for cultivation.In Tokugawa Ieyasu's letter, he only speculated that Takeda Shingen would stop fighting, and told Saburo the reason.

That is, when Takeda Shingen attacked Noda Castle, Noda Castle's garrison general Kannuma Sadaei sent Torii Sanzaemon to snipe Takeda Shingen with iron cannons.

Although after that, Kannuma Singyei still couldn't survive because Noda Castle, whose water source was cut off by Takeda Shingen, surrendered for the sake of the soldiers in the city, and had decided to cut seppuku, but was stopped by Takeda Shingen's people—but he was replaced by Tokugawa Ieyasu Kannuma Singsei in his hand was very sure, and Takeda Shingen was shot and seriously injured.

... Sure enough, not everyone has the kind of good luck that Saburo has, even if he is sniped, it's just a hole in his clothes.

All the vassals who escorted Saburo to Qiancao Ridge at the back of the Jinzaki Palace and encountered sniping incidents couldn't help looking at Saburo with strange eyes.Only Saburo, who was stared at like this, didn't realize that he had any good luck. Instead, he frowned and looked at the information, battle reports and maps, and sighed very distressed.

"Even if Mr. Shingen doesn't move for the time being—but, the general raised his troops suddenly and said he was going to oppose me."

That's right.After careful consideration, Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who was inflated with self-confidence because of Takeda Shingen's upper purpose and strong strength, went to Omi and stationed troops in today's Katada Castle and Ishiyama Castle. The Oda family completely tore their faces apart and publicly stated——

Against Nobunaga.

"Why is the general so troublesome all of a sudden?" He didn't know that every time he went to Luo, it was a psychological shadow of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, Saburo was even deeply confused by the general's sudden dispatch of troops, "Is there something I made him angry? Totally unexpected."

"...Even if I'm angry with you, I won't raise my troops like this and stand in a hostile position!" Ikeda Hengxing replied immediately, "I'm afraid I think the Oda family is going to collapse, so I can't wait to change sides...that ungrateful general !"

"This makes me a little sad." Saburo said, "But since the general admires Mr. Shingen so much, I don't think I can do anything about it."

"Your Highness—"

"You can't stop others from chasing stars." Facing the angry Ikeda Hengxing, Saburo raised a finger and said very seriously.

Ashikaga Yoshiaki who is being chased by stars hahahahaha! ! !
