Zheng Heng laughed and said, "This is a battle between tigers, lions, pigs and dragons!" Whoever can win will be able to dominate the Kanto region, hey, it's really non-stop, and I can't pay attention to them. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHattori, increase the transmission of information to the Kanto countries, and I want to know the exact information as soon as possible. "In the past three years, the strategy of political balance has not changed, it is Kyushu first and then Kanto, and the conquest of Shikoku can be said to be a harbinger of Kyushu's conquest, and the attack on Ise Province is just to stabilize the rear. Unexpectedly, a major war broke out in Kanto that would determine the fate of Kanto, forcing Shoyo to stop his original strategy.

Hattori Masanari immediately bowed down to receive the order.

Walking in the Wa Kingdom, if you don't have a good title, it's really difficult. The name is changed every three or five times, and four or five names may be the same person, and Uesugi Kenshin, who is known as the dragon of Echigo, has used Nagao Jinghu, Uesugi Masato, and Uesugi Teruto, which is not counting his young name, common name, official position, shogunate official position, etc.

Of course, the source of the name of the Japanese people is quite scarce, either ghosts or dragons, Yang, lions, tigers, wild boars, eagles, foxes.

Zhengheng has a series of titles, such as the Eagle of Ahe, the Fox of Beizhong, and the Dragon of China, and now he is called more "God of War". He is known as "the world's first general" and "the world's first military artist".

There is a lack of names, but the specific titles, such as the dragon of Echigo, Kenshin Uesugi, the tiger of Kai, Takeda Shingen, the lion of Sagami, the Hojo clan, and the pig of Suruga, Imagawa Yoshimoto, are more and more affirmed by people all over the world. Originally, Imagawa Yoshimoto was known as the strongest bow in Tokaido, but the battle of the border was so embarrassing that he retreated to become the "Pig of Suruga", and the pig was revered in the Wa Kingdom, of course, it refers to his burly figure like a wild boar.

The Tiger of Kai, the Lion of Sagami, and the Pig of Suruga united to deal with the dragon of Echigo, and in the mouth of Masahiro, they jokingly became the hegemony of the tiger, lion and pig. However, he was not wrong, this battle for supremacy will determine the future fate of Kanto, and whoever wins the final victory will dominate Kanto.

August 17, 1563, early autumn, Musashi Province.

The young lord of Odawara Castle and the future governor of the Hojo family, the Hojo clan, ran back with a sweat on his head and reported: "Father! The front is already Heyue City, and the horse team sentry has already seen the banner of the Uesugi army camping around Heyue City, we have arrived! ”

Under a huge banner depicted with a yellow-haired lion, the third generation of the Hojo clan and the lord of Odawara Castle, the Hojo clan Yasu, rode steadily on a Shinano steed, and watched expressionlessly as the nearly 8,500 elites under his command slowly advanced.

These more than 8,500 Hojo troops are the real elite soldiers, and they are the capital of the Later Hojo clan to dominate the Kanto region, and the result of the hard work of the three generations of Hojo Hakumo, Shizuna, and Shiyasu, most of whom participated in the famous battle of Hojo Shiyasu.

No one thought that they would come to Ha Yue Castle for the second time, but they all believed that this was their fateful place, and it was also their lucky place, since they were able to fight the beautiful Battle of Ha Yue eighteen years ago, and now they can also win the final victory.

Hojo clan Yasu looked in the direction of Kawagoe Castle, he always had a bad premonition in his heart, the battle he commanded eighteen years ago Kawagoe Castle was on their side, but now Kawagoe Castle was hanging on the head of Kawagoe Castle was the Uesugi family's Bamboo Eryu Flying Sparrow Flag.

Hojo suddenly asked, "Are Takeda and Imagawa here?" "Hojo Shiyasu pinned down Uesugi Kenshin for Takeda Shingen, and then let Takeda Shingen free his hand to help Imagawa Yoshigen defeat Oda Nobunaga, and now it was time for the latter to reciprocate.

The Hojo clan's Masahei Suri always looked proud at this time and unconsciously eased down, Takeda Shingen and Imagawa Yoshimoto are all outstanding people, although they have defeats, but it is not for him to comment, respectfully replied: "The three thousand Takeda army has crossed Tokura Castle and entered Musashi Province in a short time, and the seven thousand Imagawa army has also entered Sagami Country, and it will take five days to reach Kawase Castle in three days." ”

Hojo nodded slightly, obviously slightly satisfied with the knowledge of Takeda Shingen and Imagawa Yoshimoto. The Takeda family seems to have the smallest number of troops, but the Takeda family still has to contain Shinano, and these 3,000 Takeda troops are not inferior to the elite of the Hojo army.

Hojo asked again, "Who is the lord of Kawagoe Castle, and how many people are guarding the city?" ”

The Hojo clan looked at the leader of the Wind Demons, who was following him, and the Wind Demon Kotaro reported: "The lord of Kawagoe Castle is the head of the sixteen guns of Nagano under Nagano Yoshimasa, and after Nagano Yoshimasa's death, Nagano Yoshimasa ordered him to switch to Uesugi Kenshin in order to repay his kindness, and ordered him to assist Matsuyama Castle on behalf of Naoe Keitsuna. The number of defenders of the castle was about 1,200, of which 500 were the elite of Ueno Province led by Nobutsuna Ueizumi, and the remaining 700 were mostly composed of evil parties. ”

The evil party, this place mostly refers to the former Musashi country that was defeated by the Later Hojo clan and confiscated the territory and became a ronin The powerful people of the former Musashi country, have always regarded the Gohojo clan as an enemy, and has always been a unstable factor in Musashi, and was hit by the Go-Hojo clan. Wind Demon Kotaro's reply told Hojo Shiyasu not to have any intention of plotting against Kawagoe Castle from the inside, and not to look at Kawagoe Castle if he could abandon the city and flee, and only by storming Kawagoe Castle with a knife and a gun could he have the possibility of victory.

Hojo Shiyasu's voice sounded next to Kenhide Matsuda, "Nobutsuna Ueizumi? He studied under the Yin Stream to open the ancestral Ai Zhou Xiang Zhai, granted the Yin Ke, and created a new Yin Stream, and is the No. 1 kendo master in Ueno Province, and also a disciple of Nagano Yemasa, and a first-class master of the art of war. ”

Hojo Shiyasu looked at him and said, "Shimasa, you lead Bai Bei to try his ingredients first?!" ”

The Hojo clan, who had already been unable to bear it, responded, and Kasahara Yasukatsu, the head of the white banner of one of the five colors of Hojo, led the army to follow and went to provoke Kawagoe Castle and try the ingredients of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna. Among the generals around Hojo Shiyasu, the older ones were a little hesitant, but the younger ones were eager to try.

Hojo clan Kang relied on the Battle of Koeze to sit firmly in the position of the governor of the Hojo clan, and if the Hojo clan wants to continue to carry forward, he must have the exploits to take the shot, otherwise which of the proud soldiers in the family will be convinced. Even if he loses, he doesn't have only one son.

The Hojo clan is twenty-five years old, but this time he led the army alone, and although it was only a provocation before the war, it also made him extremely excited, and he tried to do it perfectly.

The Hojo Goshibei is a standing army formed by the Later Hojo clan, which is usually divided into five units in yellow, red, blue, white, and black. Among them, the commander of Huang Bei, Hojo Tsunari, broke through the prestige with the "Dihuang Hachiman", and the rest of the people did not leave too many names.

At the head of Kawagoe Castle, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna looked at the Hojo Army coming from afar, licked his lips and said, "It's finally here!" ”
