Yukimura Sanada 1567-1615, real name Nobushige Sanada
Father: Masayuki Sanada Brother: Yukiyuki Sanada
Sanada Yukimura had a glorious life and was one of the three last tragic heroes. There are millions of soldiers in the Kanto region, and there is no good man to pass on to future generations.
Let me briefly understand the life of Sanada Yukimura. Sanada Yukimura, whose original name was Sanada Nobuhiro, participated in the Battle of Ueda, the Battle of Odawara, the Battle of Osaka Castle, and so on. The most famous is the Battle of Osaka Castle, where Sanada Yukimura single-handedly challenged the rock-solid Tokugawa Ieyasu in order to protect the desperate Toyotomi family. In the end, he was cut off by Nishio Renzo Emon at the age of 48, ending his glorious life.
Battle of Osaka Castle: Sanada Yukimura, after the Battle of Sekigahara, was exiled to Mount Kudo in Kishu with his father, Masayuki Sanada. His father, Masanobu Sanada, spent his life in depression. Sanada Nobumura, seeing his father's tragic fate and resenting the Tokugawa family even more, finally had the opportunity to come, and Toyotomi secretly came to Mount Kudo and invited Yukimura to serve the Toyotomi family. Yukimura accepted the invitation for the sake of his father's hatred and to be able to prove himself again, accompanied by his eldest son, Sanada Daisuke Yukimasa.
Sanada Yukimura and his party came to Osaka Castle. At this time, Osaka Castle gathered the 7 Osaka General Stars. Sanada Yukimura, Akashi Quanden, Maori Katsunaga, Nagamasa Ibu Morikine, Goto Kiji and so on. Maori Katsunaga was the most prominent and warlike against Tokugawa Ieyasu.
At first, the Toyotomi family still had a certain advantage, using the defensive castle Sanada Maru to retreat several times to attack the Tokugawa. In this battle, the Tokugawa army killed 2,000 people, and Sanada Maru's offensive and defensive battle was unexpectedly won by the Toyotomi family. However, after the Tokugawa Peace Talks, the defenses of Osaka Castle were completely destroyed. The fighting that followed was fierce, with hand-to-hand combat only on the plains.
The final armageddon between the Japanese Sengoku and the Warring States was on the verge of breaking out. In this battle, the Toyotomi family had a strength of 50,000 troops, the Tokugawa coalition army exceeded 150,000, and there was a steady stream of reinforcements. Sanada Yukimura's red armor and rokubun-money banners were all determined to die, and his 15-year-old son, Daisuke Sanada, also joined the fierce war, and of course, there were also the Ten Warriors of Sanada that Japan has been passing down to future generations...
At the beginning of the war, the Sanada Army did not join the battle. Maori Katsunaga mythologically repelled Honda Tadanaga, broke through the First, Second, and Third Tokugawa Fronts, and finally, with the cooperation of Sanada Yukimura, directly into Tokugawa Ieyasu's home front, frightening Tokugawa Ieyasu into fleeing in a panic.
However, with the passage of time, because of the disparity in troop strength and the strength of the opponent, the Sanada army suffered heavy losses, and Yukimura had many gunshot wounds, covered in blood, unable to fight on horseback, leading the remnants to retreat to Theo Shrine, and finally the entire army was destroyed, cut off the head, and died in honor.
