Oi Sadakei went east after leaving Yuzu Satomi, and he said to Taguchi Nagakei, "Now that Ueda Nobukata has taken Maeyama Castle, it is equivalent to blocking the people of Saku in the east from returning to their own territory, and this is our opportunity. ”

Taguchi Nagakei echoed: "Yes, the outsiders are just unreliable, and we have to do it ourselves to get back our old collar." ”

Oi Sadakei said, "Changqing, are there still old ministers in Taguchi City who are loyal to your Taguchi family now?" ”

Taguchi Changqing shook his head and said: "I'm afraid it's gone, most of the old ministers died in battle, and a small number of them followed." ”

Oi Sadakei sighed and comforted, "Alas, this is all caused by the Takeda family." However, in the next, you can also gather some old ministers in Iwamurata.

It's better for Changqingyu to follow back to Iwamurata first, and stay in the next place to get back Iwamurata, so that he can help Changqingyu get back to Taguchi Castle. ”

Taguchi Nagakei didn't hesitate, there are too few people on his side, so it's better to mix with Oi Sadakei first.

He hurriedly said: "Zhen Jingyu is right, the force should be used in one place, and now Ueda Nobukata's strength is much stronger than ours, and we must act in front of him." ”

Oi Sadakei originally thought that it would take a lot of talking, but he didn't expect Taguchi Nagakei to agree so happily, and he boldly promised that Taguchi Nagakei would definitely help him recapture Taguchi Castle.

The group walked east from Mochizuki Castle, passed by Iwao Castle, and saw the banner of the Oi family on the head of the castle, but the flags of Ueda and Sanada were missing.

Their hearts were also much more relaxed, and they were also afraid that Ueda Nobukata was secretly ambushing them, and now seeing that only the Oi family was in Iwao Castle, it showed that Ueda Nobukata was busy expanding his power in Saku and had no time to take care of them.

Soon they arrived at Oi Castle, which was the residence of the Oi family in Iwamurata, but the descendants of the Oi family had perished, and the one who could be called the main family was the Oi family of Nagawa Castle.

Oi Sadataka was the lord of Nagawa Castle, who was captured and killed by Kai after being defeated by Takeda Harunobu in 1547, and then his younger brother Oi Sadakiyo.

But Oi Sadakiyo was not honest, and actually set off a rebellion in 1548, was defeated by Takeda Harunobu, and also died, and even his eldest son Oi Sadashige was killed in battle when he fell into the city.

As the second son of Oi Zhenqing, Oi Zhenjing looked at Oi Castle and sighed for a while, this is the ancestral land of the Oi family.

And what belongs to Oi Sadakei should be Uchiyama Castle, and Uchiyama Castle is Oi Sadakiyo's residence city.

However, Oi Sadakei now considers himself a descendant of the Oi family, so naturally he has the right to inherit Nagawa Castle, Oi Castle, and Uchiyama Castle.

It wasn't early at the moment, and they were resting on the hillside near Ojing Castle.

Oi Castle has been heavily guarded, and torches have been lit outside the city, vigilant against Oi Sadakyo and others.

After Motoren confirmed that Oi Sadakei was resting near Oi Castle, he immediately ran back and reported it to Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata immediately left 300 ashigaru to Sanada Yutaka, and he led more than 300 people to go out of the city overnight dressed as the army of the Takeda family.

This time, their march was very unscrupulous, because it was the flag of the Takeda family, so they were not afraid of the cities along the way discovering their army.

From the former mountain castle to Oi Castle, the distance was only four or five miles, and they marched for about two hours to reach the vicinity of Oi Castle.

The defenders of Oi Castle and the sentry posts of Oi Sadakei sent them.

When they saw the Takeda family's flags, the defenders of Oi Castle cheered loudly, and Oi Sadakei's side quickly reorganized their troops.

Ueda Nobukata didn't give Oi Sadakei much time to prepare, and led the army to assault.

Oi Sadakei and Taguchi Nagakei loudly urged the troops to step forward, but there were many people on Ueda Nobukata's side, and Ueda Nobukata was extremely brave, and no one was his enemy, and the army was killed and collapsed by him.

Oi Sadakyo looked up to the sky and sighed, and shouted: "I am the grandson of the Saku Oi family, Oi Sadakei, and I will be famous!" ”

Ueda Nobukata immediately responded: "The child is rampant, he dares to make trouble in his own territory, remember, the person who killed you, Takeda family Iitomi Genshiro, is also!" ”

He threw the pot directly to the Takeda family, picked up the ten-character gun and rushed towards Oi Sadakei, who saw Ueda Nobukata's Prajna face armor and saw the look in the face armor.

He was furious and said, "It's you..."

"Poof..."

At the moment of parrying, before Oi Sadakyo could finish speaking, he was understood by the ribs that Ueda Nobukata quickly pulled out.

Ueda Nobukata did not shout loudly, but continued to kill the samurai of the Oi family who were resisting, these people were all diehard loyalists of the Oi family and could not stay.

More than a hundred people were surrounded and annihilated by Ueda Nobukata, and only Nagakei Taguchi, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was left with his head drooping and blood flowing from his mouth.

He finally raised his head and roared angrily: "Damn Takeda Harunobu, I won't let you go when I go to the underworld to be a ghost!" "He didn't even think that it was Ueda Nobukata who killed him.

At this time, the sky was almost dawning, and many ashigaru began to clean up the battlefield.

In Oi Castle, the guards opened the gates and ran to the battlefield with some people to meet Ueda Nobukata.

When the guard general Hihara Nobutada saw Ueda Nobukata, he said with a smile: "Your Excellency, I am very grateful to you for relieving the crisis in Oi Castle!" ”

Ueda Nobukata looked at the somewhat flattering guard and said with a smile: "Thank you for me, but there will be some price to pay." ”

Hiraharahara Zhenxin was puzzled: "I don't understand what Your Excellency means. ”

Ueda Nobukata laughed and said, "Let's take Oi Castle as a thank you gift." ”

"What?" Plains Sadabu was very shocked, this city was handed over to him by the Takeda family as the city generation, this person wants to rob it? Don't want to die?

Ueda Nobukata walked up to Hihara Sadanobu, pressed his ribs against his abdomen and said, "You heard clearly, I'm Ueda Nobukata of the Murakami family!" ”

Hirahara Sashanobu was shocked, but he couldn't move.

Ueda Nobukata continued: "Give you a chance, take me into Oi Castle and give it to you, or you would rather die than give in and die here." ”

Plains Sadabu wanted to resist, but the people he brought had already been controlled, and then, he bowed his head and said, "I am making a wish!" ”

Ueda Nobukata let go of Hirahara Sadanobu and then escorted him to Oi Castle with his troops.

When the samurai on the castle tower saw the arrival of the Takeda family's army, they immediately went down and asked people to open the city gate, without even asking for instructions from Hirahara Sadanobu, who was close at hand.

Ueda Nobukata swaggered in, and then tied up dozens of defenders in the city.

He didn't expect it to go so smoothly himself, and now he has taken another city in Saku. This time he just had people pack up all the valuable things and transport them all, and it was impossible for him to divide his troops in every city.

As soon as the morning dawned, Yuan Lian told him that Mochizuki Castle was captured by Youzu Satomi, and he hurriedly asked what happened, and the fall of Mochizuki Castle was not in his plan.
