Since entering Odawara Castle, Hojo Shiyasu's mood has also improved a lot, although this time he failed to take advantage of the chaos to take the East Suruga, I feel a little regretful, but it is not that there is no opportunity, at present, the main force of the Takeda family has been dragged outside Odawara Castle, and the Takeda Army in Suruga, even if you add the reinforcements sent by Kai Xin, it is only two thousand people, and among these troops, only the original one thousand are Akabi, and the remaining one thousand are just ordinary spears, and as long as Takeda Shingen and his military advisor Sanada Yutaka are not outside Sunfu Castle, Then the Takeda Army should not capture the fortified Sunpu Castle in a short period of time.

In this way, he is tantamount to rescuing the Imagawa family in disguise, and this time the Takeda army invaded Sagami, the siege of Odawara Castle is not well prepared, it should not last long, and when the army under his command is exhausted and has to retreat, he is leading the army out of the city to cover and kill, and the Takeda army will be defeated, and at that time, as long as the Takeda army is defeated, then let alone capture the East Suruga, even if it dominates the country of Suruga, it is not a difficult matter.

At that time, Suruga was garrisoned by a large army of the Iesugi family, the Uesugi family was in the north, and the land of the family was in the east, so that the Takeda family was besieged in the Nobuya area, and if not annihilated, the tiger would be trapped alive.

Several days have passed, in these days, Takeda Shingen will order his troops to launch several attacks on Odawara Castle every day, however, because the Hojo family can not hold out, and with the solidity of the city wall, so the casualties of the Takeda army outside the city are still very considerable, and the casualties of the Hojo family army are less than three percent of the Takeda army, although the elite of the Takeda family is strong, but the number is not much, just these few days of fighting, there are nearly 200 Akabei killed, as for the number of spear ashigaru killed in battle, the number of people killed is close to 400, It can be said that the Hojo family's last defeat outside Kokokuji Castle has been completely brought back.

Seeing that the Takeda army outside the city continued to die, the better the mood of the Hojo clan, he wished that the two thousand Akabi of the Takeda family could be fought out here, in this way, the family can easily dominate Suruga, before the Imagawa family Kamiluo, the Takeda family also wanted to go to Lo, the power of the family is stronger than these two, after dominating Suruga, why not go to Luo, to restore the former prestige of the Hojo family?

Although this Kanto is good, it is still a little worse than, after defeating the Takeda family and dominating Suruga, in this world, the stone height controlled by the family can be called the first in the world, why not give it a try?

Thinking of this, in addition to being happy, Hojo Shiyasu couldn't help but start getting excited.

Outside the city, inside the main camp of the Takeda army, Takeda Shingen was also sneering, this time when he attacked Odawara Castle, the reason why he would use all his strength was not to confuse Hojo Shiyasu, so that he would strengthen his determination to go out to chase after him, and those who died in battle Chibei were not real Chibei at all, they were just spears wearing Chibei armor, anyway, they didn't need to ride horses when attacking the city, as long as they didn't say it, how could Hojo Shiyasu find out.

Takeda Shingen knows very well that those armor weapons can be bought as long as there is money, and he controls many gold mountains, and there is no shortage of money at all, but those elites under his command are not something that can be bought with money, if you want to build a strong army, it takes a lot of time, and what he lacks most now is time, so how can he be willing to let Chibei under his command go to death in vain.

Therefore, except for the first day of the attack that brought more than 30 casualties to Akabei, in the remaining days, Akabei's losses were less than 20, and this casualty figure was still acceptable to Takeda Shingen.

He is waiting now, as long as the three branches are ready, then he will withdraw his troops to the two hills in Mizeng Pass to set up an ambush, this time he will say anything to the Hojo family a heavy blow, and let him know that his reputation as the world's first military lawyer is not in vain. …,

Just as Takeda Shingen was thinking about this, he saw the attendant walking quickly into the curtain, and the three branches of the guard also followed, only to hear him speak: "Lord, my subordinates have led the army under my command to clean up the slopes of the two hills, and my subordinates are afraid that bringing the army will make Hojo Yasu suspicious, so I came to report alone, and asked the lord to decide." ”

"Okay, I've worked hard for you this time, go down and rest." I only heard Takeda Shingen say with a smile.

After the three guards left, they only heard Takeda Shingen say to the attendant again: "Pass the order, and immediately line up." ”

Outside the castle of Odawara, I saw Takeda Shingen personally leading his troops to a stone's throw away, and after the general was grounded, he only heard him shout loudly to the defenders on the city wall: "The people in the city listen to the truth, I am the head of the Takeda family, Takeda Shingen, and quickly call Hojo Shiyasu to come out and answer." ”

Since it was already close to noon, and Odawara Castle was not in danger of being destroyed, Hojo Shiyasu returned to the castle tower to play chess with his retainers in the morning, after arranging the defense of the castle tower.

And when he heard that Takeda Shingen was shameless to answer him, he couldn't help but be furious, only to see him lift the chessboard, get up and walk towards the city.

As soon as he appeared on the city wall, he heard Takeda Shingen scolding: "Hojo Shiyasu, are you only shrinking in the city, being a turtle with a shrunken head, I'm afraid that the face of the Hojo family has been lost by you, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?" ”

Hojo Shiyasu couldn't help but be angry after hearing this, only to hear him open his mouth and salute in return: "Takeda Shingen, you have treacherously plundered the land of your allies, aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world, the Takeda family has been established for hundreds of years, it is a famous family, how did you come out of this shameless thing, if I were you, I would have committed suicide by seppuku." ”

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, Hojo Turtle, do you dare to go out of the city and compete with me?"

Before Hojo Shiyasu could answer, he only heard his retainers speak: "My lord, this Takeda Shingen is too deceitful, and his subordinates are willing to lead the elite of his family to fight to the death. ”

After he finished speaking, he heard that the other retainers also echoed: "Lord, that Takeda Shingen is really too arrogant, and his subordinates are willing to fight, if they are not victorious and willing to be punished, please ask the lord's grace." ”

Although Hojo Shiyasu is also very angry now, he knows that Takeda Shingen is provoking himself, and how can he be deceived by such a small skill of carving insects.

The army of the family is good at defending, and the Takeda family is good at attacking, why should I give up the fortified city and not defend it, and use my own shortcomings to fight hard with the enemy's strengths.

As soon as he thought of this, he heard Takeda Shingen shout again: "The little turtles of the Kitada family are all willing to come out, aren't you still willing to come out of the big turtle?" ”

After listening to Hojo Shiyasu, Da Lang smiled and said: "Takeda Shingen, your method of agitation is not good for me here, don't talk nonsense, if you have the ability, you will attack the city, the weather is so hot, I think I will prepare an ice basin in the castle tower and wait, but I don't know if you have the ability, farewell!" ”

After saying that, Hojo Shiyasu didn't bother to compete with him anymore, turned around and walked in the direction of the castle tower, and Takeda Shingen couldn't help but smile when he saw him leave, and then ordered the army to return to the camp.

And the retainers of the Takeda family were very puzzled by this, they now knew that the lord wanted to set up an ambush in Mizen Pass to defeat the Hojo army, but now the lord said so, it is even more impossible for the Hojo clan to go out of the city, so won't the next strategy also fail?

Seeing that the lord had already ordered to return, he couldn't help but urge the horse to come behind Takeda Shingen, and asked: "My lord, then the Hojo clan Yasumoto has no intention of going out of the city, and when the lord says this, doesn't it strengthen the other party's determination to defend the city, so how can you ambush the Kitada army in Kohata Prosperity?" ”…,

After hearing this, Takeda Shingen couldn't help but smile and said: "You underestimate Hojo Shiyasu too much, this person is quite intelligent, and he is very suspicious, if I don't provoke him today, then when the family retreats, he will definitely not chase him out, and if I make an abnormal move today, then he can't help but think about it."

Although he doesn't understand it now, I can't guess that tomorrow, he will think that the reason why I want to do this must be a bluff, and the purpose is to withdraw the army, and the family is not prepared to besiege Odawara Castle, how can he not take this great opportunity to send troops to attack, and this is the truth of the virtual, the truth is the virtual, and the way of the virtual and the real. ”

After listening to this, Xiao Ha Changsheng couldn't help but suddenly realize, only to see him say with admiration on his face: "The wisdom of the lord is not as good as his subordinates." ”

Sure enough, as Takeda Shingen expected, that night, Hojo Shiyasu lay on the couch but couldn't sleep at all, today's events are too strange, to say that Takeda Shingen's resourcefulness is still above himself, he must know that the army of the Dao family will never go out of the city to fight with it, but why does he have to make more moves to attack each other?

Could it be that he is just talking for a while, Hojo Shiyasu couldn't help but shake his head secretly, this is not Takeda Shingen's character, he will never do that useless thing, so what is he for, it is difficult that he used this to strengthen his confidence, and he took advantage of this to lead the army away?

Yes, it must be the case, the Takeda family is not prepared this time, and the army under his command has shown fatigue after the attack a few days ago, Takeda Shingen must have seen that he could not break through the castle with his army, so he withdrew his troops and went to capture Suruga first.

When Hojo Shiyasu thought of this, he just wanted to order the army to assemble, but he immediately thought that in case Takeda Shingen did not retreat at all, but really used this to provoke himself to fight, if he acted hastily, then he would fall for his trick, and he must not be careless in the face of Takeda Shingen, it is better to send someone out to investigate first, if the camp tent of the Mutian family is empty, and there is no ambush army around, the family is leading the army to chase and not gallop, otherwise, it is better to defend the city.
