Moreover, he had been forced to live in captivity in Kudoyama for 14 years, so his teeth had fallen out due to his gray hair.

Osaka / Winter team!

Mr. Yukimura, who was called to Osaka Castle by the Toyotomi family, is "Osaka / Winter Team" with the intelligence inherited from his father, Masayuki. I repelled the Tokugawa army.

Siege ( in Osaka Castle, which was impregnable Rojo ) His boss who proposes to do Ono Harunaga ( Oh Harunaga ) However, Mr. Yukimura, who could not disagree with this opinion, is "Sanada Maru" in the place where Osaka Castle is the only weak point. I built a castle called, and attracted the enemy there and repelled it.

Ieyasu Tokugawa Asked for peace, but the condition was "Fill the outer moat of Osaka Castle" . It was that. There seems to be a back.

Mr. Yukimura also feels it and disagrees, but Mr. Harunaga accepts Wamu because the battle situation other than Sanada Maru was disadvantageous. I will do it.

Harunaga's aim is to slowly fill the outer moat and earn time, and wait for 73-year-old Ieyasu to die. The idea was that the war situation would be reversed.

However, the outer moat was filled by the Tokugawa army alone in just one month. Mr. Harunaga's speculation has been completely overturned. However, Ieyasu died two years later.

Mr. Yukimura also had negotiations to turn over behind this peace, but Hideyoshi Toyotomi's child, Hideyori ( Hideyori ) I refuse this because I am rewarding my gratitude to Mr.

It seems that a considerable amount of reward was prepared, but Mr. Yukimura, who chose the grace, is wonderful. This behavior has led to the popularity of Yukimura Sanada during the Edo period.

In this battle, the Sanada army unified all weapons and armor with red . doing.

There is a reason for this,

Red is "expansion color" Because it looks bigger than usual.

Another, red is "advanced color" It seems that it looks closer than usual. It's smart.

Sanada Maru with Sotobori Yukimura-san's strategy this time was to draw the Tokugawa army to the last minute, and then ambushed him from the back, "Take the head of General Ieyasu" . It was a tactic.

However, this operation failed because the army of allies started fighting before it was sufficiently drawn. It ends up in.
