At that time, when Yamashita heard that Togoro had returned home safely, he immediately summoned him and asked how he was doing. Togoro wiped off his sweat,
“Anzai and Maro agreed without raising any particular objections.
“That master and servant of Satomi first came to visit Anzai in Tateyama, but he was overwhelmed and ran away, a shameful fellow. I have no idea how they were able to raise such a large army in such a short time.』
With that said, Anzai and Maro were both jealous, so there is no doubt that they will attack Tojo.”
Yamashita was even more pleased with the report, and encouraged Togoro to receive many rewards.
“Continue to block the approachers.”
Saying this, they waited earnestly for reinforcements from Tateyama and Hiradate.
A few days later, the side of the side already ran out of supplies, and even the reserves for three days were gone. Sadayuki and Kanamari are concerned about this and say to Yoshizane,
“It’s been 7 or 8 days since you left for the front, but we still haven’t received supplies from Tojo. I think Ujimoto is a skilled soldier, but that’s a newly acquired castle.” It’s time to harvest the wheat. Look at that. The wheat in the distant mountains is already ripe. Let’s have it harvested.”
presented a proposal.
Yoshizane shook his head,
“No, the reason I attack Takita is to save the people from their predicament. Even so, if I were to steal their crops and plunder their raw barley for military rations, I’d be no different from a villain who eats people and makes me fat.” Besides, if the Nagasa peasants do not obey the urgings and the supplies are not ready over there, this is where my virtue falls short. I have no choice but to wait and attack Takita.
he replies.
Sadayuki tilted his head for a while,
“If you have a deep sense of mercy, I would be very grateful if you could blame yourself and take pity on the people. Tonight, therefore, we will increase the number of bonfires to create the impression that an attack is imminent, and withdraw the soldiers from the apse after midnight. If you come and I will take over your lord, even if a pursuer comes from the castle, it will not be a big deal.”
he advises.
As Kanamari listened,
“Horiuchi-dono’s plan is not bad, but it will only serve to protect himself and prevent enemies. , Maro and Anzai flags, and at dusk pass through the northwest of the allied headquarters, and when the soldiers are about to enter the castle, they are blocked from here one by one and driven back, making them fight each other. Then the people in the castle who saw this,
“Reinforcements have arrived from Tateyama and Hiradate. Don’t let him kill you.』
There is no doubt that the castle door will be opened and the reinforcements will be supported and welcomed into the castle. At that time, let the soldiers go first, and if our three armies take advantage of it at will, we can take the castle down in one fell swoop. How do you like this proposal?”
I proposed a strategy in a heated battle.
