上田城：鉄壁の防御体制を誇った堅城真田昌幸の上田城（後編）【お城特集日本の歴史】

[Castle name]
Ueda Castle
Masayuki Sanada’s Ueda Castle boasting a steel wall defense system (second part).

[Explanation]
[Fighting the Tokugawa army twice, the hardcore boasting the iron wall defense system]

In the first battle with the Tokugawa Army in Tensho 13th year (1585), (First Ueda battle), it seems that it was the time to see whether it was completed for the first time, it was only the minimum stance.

However, by the battle of the Keioi 5th Year (the Second Ueda Battle), it was in a form that was maintained as a modern castle, such as arranging a tower at the main points.

It can be implored not only from various situations but also from the excavation situation of gold leaf tiles. Ueda castle is considered to have taken a more solid defense posture by Sanada than Ueda castle after Sengoku reconstruction, even from the uncovered points and others places.
