Chapter 253: Uehara Castle goes into battle

Not far from Takeda's main camp, although Ganli Hutai did not refute Takeda Harunobu in person, he privately complained to his fellow Itagaki Nobukata.

"If Lord Shinhu was here, he would have already entered the enemy's city by now, and it seems that Lord Harunobu's talent is far from what you said!"

"Indeed!" In response to Ganli Hutai's complaints, Itagaki Nobukata nodded and said, "If it was Shinhu-sama, he would indeed attack the castle in one go, and maybe he would have cut off the head of Suwa Yorishige by now." ”

"Exactly!" Ignoring Ganli Hutai's displeasure, Itagaki Nobukata instead asked, "But in this case, we will definitely lose a large number of soldiers, right?" ”

However, Ganli Hutai didn't care at all and retorted: "Isn't war all about killing and being killed? It is absolutely impossible to win without dying a person. ”

"Hey~~~" Seeing that he couldn't convince Ganli Hutai, Itagaki Nobukata sighed and said, "For now, let's observe for a while!" Maybe the main guild will surprise us! ”

"The lord is still too young." Gan Li Hutai still said unrelentingly: "It is impossible to win without a fight!" ”

After saying that, Ganli Hutai left indignantly.

That night, a big change occurred in Uehara Castle. Takato Yoritsugu sent people to the city to set fire everywhere, and the generals who were supposed to protect Suwa with this fire as a signal actually went out of the city one after another to join forces with Takato Yoritsugi.

That night, the Takeda army was arrayed, and soon Takeda Harunobu and others learned the news of Uehara Castle from the spies.

"Tell you, the Takato army has joined forces with the rebels in Suwa."

"Okay."

"Report to the lord, the Takato army has already started a war with the Suwa army."

"Hmm~~~. Thank you for your hard work. ”......

、Almost one after another, the news of the Takato Army and the Suwa Army in front kept coming into the hands of everyone in the Takeda family.

Gan Li Hutai, who has always been anxious, couldn't help but ask: "Lord, we are almost ready to go out." ”

"Well, let's get out of battle then!" Takeda Harunobu nodded solemnly.

"Haha." Immediately, Ganli Hutai turned around and walked out of the camp tent and led the troops to kill him.

"My sister Yami came to Suwa crying at the beginning, and she must not be hurt this time." After Ganli Hutai left, Takeda Harunobu suddenly instructed Itagaki Nobukata, "No matter what, you must rescue Yaya and bring her and her sister-in-law Inomaru back to Kai safely." ”

"Yes." Sakagaki Nobukata took over the task but said with some concern: "However, Suwa Yorito is a man with great self-esteem, and if the family captures Suwa, I am afraid that he will be seppuku with his retainers." If you want to save Princess Yami, you must do it before they cut their stomach. ”......

In Uehara Castle, the defense of the Suwa army is slowly being broken by the Takato army.

"My lord, the Gao Yuan army has been killed at the gate of the city." One of them was covered in injuries and reported the news to the generals in the city.

"Well, take him to bandage it." After the elder Chida Keimei settled down this ashigaru, he hurriedly advised Suwa Yorishige, who was interested in fighting, "My lord, please don't go to war no matter what, we just need to do our best to defend the city." It won't take a month for Lord Kozubara to send reinforcements, and Lord Murakami Yoshikiyo won't sit idly by and watch his family be breached. ”

"The enemy is only Lai Ji, and I can't feel at ease if I don't take off his head."

However, Suwa Yorishige, who was determined to fight the enemy to the death, could not listen to the advice of his retainers and still stubbornly ordered: "Tonight, our army will fight to the death with Takato Yoriji." ”

"Please wait, my lord." Seeing that his lord was bent on going his own way, Chida Jingming immediately said eagerly: "At present, the enemy army is divided into three teams, and it is really difficult to compete with the strength of only one team in this family. ”

"What did you say!" Suwa Yorishige, who couldn't listen to his advice, instantly asked angrily to the elder, "Do you think I will be afraid of the Takato army?" ”

"Absolutely not!" Hearing this, Chida Keiaki hurriedly argued: "Please think carefully about the survival of our Suwa!" Please protect Uehara Castle well! ”

However, even so, Suwa Yorishige still insisted: "Let's talk about all this after I cut off Yoriji's head!" ”

"I see." Seeing that his lord had made up his mind, Chida Jingming said helplessly: "Then I will now lead the troops to attack the Takato army with my cousin Chino Nanmingan, and I will definitely take down the head of Takato Yoriji." ”

Immediately afterwards, Chino Nanmingan also hurriedly said: "Nanmingan, this time I will definitely go all out to win this war for the lord." ”

"But my lord, please guard the city for us during this time, please." At the cost of going out of the castle to fight, Chida Keiaki pleaded with Suwa Yorishige: "Please be sure to protect the great god of Suwa, and we will defend Suwa to the death!" Then the city is up to you. ”

After saying this last request, Chida Keimei and Chino Minamimeian went out of the city to fight together, and Suwa Yorishige felt the loyalty of the two and did not insist on it.

Uehara Castle, which was painstakingly managed by the Suwa clan for generations, has always had a complete set of defense facilities, and of course there is also a water wall (moat) that is necessary for defending the castle. Of course, it is precisely because of this that Chida Jingming will strongly advise Suwa Yorishige to defend the city with all his might, otherwise if it is a small city, it will only be a dead end.

At this time, on the inside of the water wall of Uehara Castle, Chida Keimei and Chino Minamimeian were also ambushing the Takato army on the other side of the river.

"You can see the other side of the river from here"

"Over there, it's Takato Yoriji's main formation." Chino Minamimeian pointed to a certain place and asked Chida Keiaki.

"Hmm."

"I don't know if I can at least rush somewhere!" While observing the enemy's main formation, Chida Keiaki suddenly came up with a bold idea that if he directly attacked the main formation of the Takato army, he would immediately win the war.

"If you go, you won't be able to come back!" On the side, Chino Minamimeian raised an opposing opinion.

"Well, keep my army ready for a surprise attack at any time." Chida Jingming, who was ready to die, looked at Chino Minamimeian and said, "I am really happy to have a good cousin!" ”

Chino Nanmeian knew that this was a dying farewell, so he hurriedly responded: "To be able to fight together and die together is really what I want." ”

"May Suwa prosper!"

"May Suwa prosper!"

Chida Keiaki and Chino Minamimeian rushed to the Takato army together with their blessings to Suwa, but this was destined to be a futile and tragic impact, and Suwa Yorishige, who fled to Kuwabara Castle due to heavy losses of his soldiers that night, had no choice but to surrender.
