In Toishi Castle, Murakami Yoshikiyo had to order the army to rest after his death at Akaike Repair Ryo Station.

In the castle, Takanaga Tsuneta and others were praising Ueda Nobukata's bravery.

Ueda Nobukata said, "It's a pity that a samurai like Akaike Shuliang follows Yoshikiyoshi Murakami. Today, the Murakami family has lost two retainers, hundreds of ashigaru, and morale is low.

Kotaka, I think it's time to end this battle, and tonight, I'm going to attack at night. ”

Sanada Yutaka frowned and said, "My lord, the enemy army is still cautious now, and once it attacks at night, it will suffer from it. ”

During this period, most of the ashigaru had night blindness, and the night attack required a torch, which was directly exposed, so it was difficult to succeed in the night attack.

Ueda Nobukata smiled: "It's okay, this time there is an internal response, plus I only lead the elite out of the battle, and the night attack is no big deal." ”

Sanada Yutaka remembered who Ueda Nobukata had never said, who Naiying had been hiding in Murakami's house.

As for night blindness, none of the Samurai Hagimoto around Ueda Nobukata had such symptoms.

At night, Ueda Nobukata led the samurai of Hagimoto into battle, and Takanaga Tsuneta and others also went into battle with samurai who did not suffer from night blindness.

This time, the war horse they rode was only tied with the horse's mouth, the horse's hooves wrapped in a cloth pocket, and the bell on his chest was removed.

They quietly left the city in the middle of the night and slowly came to the outskirts of Murakami's main camp.

Ueda Nobukata immediately asked his men to put away the horseshoe cloth pockets, and then waited for the signal from the internal response.

Murakami Yoshikiyo thought that Neiying was just the Iwashita family, but what everyone didn't know was that the real Neiying was the Leyan Temple Hikari clan, one of the three major bosses of the Murakami family.

The old collar of the Rakuyanji family was actually in Koyama and Saku-gun, but the Rakuanji family lost this territory and had to take refuge in the Murakami family.

Later, the Murakami family came back, and the Rakuyanji family became the lord of Buyin Castle, but in the autumn of 1548, following the fall of Pingyuan Castle, Buyin Castle also fell.

The lord of Fuyin Castle, Rakuyan Temple Koji, was killed by the Takeda family.

Now that the castle is in the hands of Ueda Nobukata, the Rakuyanji Mitsu clan sent someone to contact him when he learned that Ueda Nobukata had taken Kitasa-gun.

At first, Ueda Nobukata dragged his feet and did not make a decision, after all, he did not have actual control over Kitasaku-gun at that time.

It wasn't until Ogasawara that he hated Murakami Yoshikiyo for a long time and canonized Ueda Nobukata as the county secretary of Saku-gun, and after the situation changed, Ueda Nobukata immediately sent someone to find the Rakuyanji Hikaru clan.

He promised to give the Cloth Castle a reward to the Rakuyanji family, but the Rakuyanji family had to surrender to the Ueda family and become retainers.

After Murakami Yoshikiyoshi decided to unite with the Takeda family, the Rakuyanji Hikari clan immediately betrayed Murakami Yoshikiyo.

Tonight, the Leyan Temple Light Clan will launch a rebellion in the array as agreed.

In the military formation where the Leyan Temple Light Clan was, he was already ready, and as soon as the middle of the night arrived, the Leyan Temple Light Clan spoke: "Everyone, there is no need to hesitate, everyone has seen it today."

The Murakami family can't take down Toshishiro, and their hometown of Sakaki Castle will be taken by Ueda sooner or later, so follow my steps! Signal! ”

"Oh!"

His retainers responded immediately, some went to give the signal, and some led the army to scatter in all directions.

As a large number of fires ignited in the Murakami military array, Ueda Nobukata was overjoyed and said, "Attack!" Get on board! ”

Nearly 400 cavalry on their side launched a surprise attack on the military formation of the Murakami army, and Ashigaru, who was sleeping behind the horse fence, was awakened, and they relied on the light of the fire camp to see a large number of cavalry in the distance.

The cavalry in the front row fired a shot at the Ashigaru of the Murakami army, and fifty iron cannons were fired, which frightened many Ashigaru miscellaneous soldiers to cry, throw away their weapons and run away.

Those fences were also broken a lot, and the cavalry broke through the fence directly and continued to assault the front.

After the iron cannon, Ashigaru replaced it with a large sword, which was close to the length of a spear, and it was very heavy.

The cavalry rushed into the scattered ranks of Ashigaru, and the ashigaru fell like leeks. The miscellaneous soldiers were too frightened to fight again, so they turned and ran.

Ueda Nobukata didn't care about the ashigaru miscellaneous soldiers and some samurai who were running around, he just shouted, "Where is Murakami Yoshikiyo?" ”

The Murakami Yoshikiyo in his mouth is in a private house, which has become the Murakami shogunate, and after the riot in the military formation, Murakami Yoshikiyo was woken up by the retainers.

Murakami Yoshikiyo put on his armor at the urging of his retainers, and he looked around and said, "Why was the camp attacked by the Ueda family!" ”

Inoue Kiyomasa hurriedly said: "It was the Leyanji family that attacked everywhere and set fire to it, and our army's attention was on them, but I didn't know that the Ueda family already had an army near the main formation.

By the time they found out, the Ueda family's cavalry had already broken through the outer positions and killed them. Lord, please leave quickly! ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo put on his armor and ran out with his subordinates to take a look, and the sound of "Where is Murakami Yoshikiyo" is gradually approaching.

He sighed unwillingly and shouted, "Go back to Gewei City first, I'm making plans!" ”

As soon as Murakami Yoshikiyo got on the horse, Ueda Nobukata arrived with a team of people, and he saw Murakami Yoshikiyo wearing a three-day moon hood, and shouted: "Murakami Yoshikiyo is leaving!" ”

As soon as Inoue Kiyomasa heard this, he immediately slapped the war horse with his hand and shouted: "The lord is leaving, I will wait for the queen of the palace!" ”

"Ueda Xiaoer, Hugh is going to be rampant, Ishikawa is tall here!"

"I'm going to meet you for a while!"

Where can Murakami Yoshikiyo take care of hypocrisy at this time, just shoot the horse and leave.

And Ueda Nobukata was bound to win the head of Murakami Yoshikiyo, and immediately led his subordinates to charge, and he killed several important ministers in three or two strokes.

Then continue the pursuit in the direction of Murakami's escape.

There were only a few Hachimoto samurai left around Murakami Yoshikiyo to follow him and at least run away, and several of them carried torches and looked behind from time to time.

Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the black night scene, and soon there was a firelight.

Ueda Nobukata saw a few torches on Murakami's side, and at the same time saw Murakami Yoshikiyo wearing gorgeous armor, and said with great joy: "Keep chasing, Murakami Yoshikiyo is in front." ”

Murakami Yoshikiyo didn't expect Ueda Nobukata to chase after him, and he was angry in his heart.

He didn't even care about his son Yoshiri Murakami.

He was immediately annoyed when he saw Ueda Nobukata chasing after him, and he couldn't help but grit his teeth and turn around: "Ueda Nobukata, I must..."

"Lord!"

Before Murakami Yoshikiyo finished speaking, the war horse stumbled and directly threw Murakami Yoshikiyo to the ground, causing him to lose all his meat.

Several samurai hurriedly dismounted, picked up the somewhat dazed Murakami Yoshikiyo, helped his horse and ran away.

After such a delay, Ueda Nobukata approached with a cavalry team, and many samurai directly drew their bows and shot arrows.

Two of the samurai who were protecting Yoshikiyo Murakami fell from arrows, and the others also had several arrows hanging from their armor.

This was followed by another rain of arrows, and the remaining samurai on horseback also fell off their horses.

The war horse that carried Murakami Yoshikiyo was hit by an arrow in the hip, but he ran fast.

The flag warrior who fell to the ground looked at the rapidly departing war horse, and couldn't help but raise his hand, and said with blood bubbles in his mouth: "My lord... uh..."

The unconscious Murakami Yoshikiyo was carried away by the wounded war horse and rushed into the dark night where he could not see his fingers, and Ueda Nobukata had to stop.

Captain Sanada Gentazaemon beside him said, "My lord, the night is too dark to pursue." ”
