Miki Naogo, Nagano Masabo, and Takahashi Koke in the front camp soon received orders from Honjin.

"My lord told us to storm Hanakuma Castle tonight!" Miki Naogo looked at Takahashi Xingjia and Nagano Masabo and said.

Nagano Masabo frowned, "Why is it so sudden, we didn't prepare at all in advance!" ”

"The situation of the war in Ki has changed, and now the family continues to open up the road to Shangluo, so we must seize the time to capture Takiyama Castle." Miki Naogo continued, "Hanakuma Castle is just a small town, and tonight I will lead the army! Takahashi-sama and Nagano-sama take turns to take Hanakuma Castle as quickly as possible. ”

"Whatever it takes!" At the end, Miki Naogo added.

......

Dive into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently.

At night, a drizzle suddenly fell from the sky, bringing a hint of coolness to the still hot weather.

After Nakagawa Shigekiyo returned from Takiyama Castle, he locked himself in his main camp and pondered the current situation. Although the Miyoshi family in the Kinai area defeated the forces of the Rokkaku family, it can be regarded as grasping the initiative.

However, the Nakagawa family's territory was not in Hanoi or Yamashiro, but in Settsu, which had already been plundered by the Tsugawa family. Right now, Miyoshi Nagakei is attacking the Asakura family and the Rokkaku family, and he doesn't have much energy left to take care of Retsu. Although Miyoshi Chokei also sent Jukawa Izuku to support the battle in Settsu, Nakagawa Shigekiyoshi did not think that this little force could stop the Tsugawa family.

If it was before, maybe Nakagawa Shigekiyo still has some confidence. But now that part of the Tsugawa family's forces has captured Arima Castle and killed Itami Castle in the hinterland of Settsu, it means that Takiyama Castle has lost its effect.

And now the retreat of Nakagawa Shigekiyo and others has been cut off by the Tsugawa family, and their own territory in the rear will also be attacked by the Tsugawa family at any time. In such a situation, Nakagawa Shigekiyo's heart was very panicked.

In the final analysis, it is still that Miyoshi Changqing has controlled the Kinai for too short a time, and for the people in these Kinai, the ruling strength is still very low. In other words, once there is a setback, the stance of these people around the Miyoshi family will become unfirm.

This is the case with Nakagawa Shigekiyo.

"My lord, I heard that the Tsugawa family has captured Arima Castle and hit Itami Castle?" A samurai of the Nakagawa family came to Nakagawa Shigekiyo's side with a little worry.

Nakagawa Shigekiyo nodded helplessly, "Now rumors are spreading, but there is no wind and no waves, the Tsugawa family has indeed hit Itami City!" ”

"Is this true?"

"Isn't the territory of the Honkoto family about to be attacked by the Tsugawa family?"

As soon as he heard that Nakagawa Shigekiyo confirmed the authenticity of the news, it exploded in the main formation at once. Can these samurai of the Nakagawa family not panic, their place of knowledge is about to be occupied by the enemy, and their families and relatives will also be captured or even killed by the enemy. And now I'm still playing soy sauce in Hanakuma Castle, how can this be!

"Panic what!" Nakagawa Shigekiyo angrily reprimanded the restless retainers around him, then lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "We can't sit still here, immediately reorganize the troops and prepare to retreat!" ”

"Lord, it is a great sin to retreat without permission! In case the Miyoshi family blames it afterwards....... "A sober-minded retainer immediately came out and prepared to admonish Nakagawa Shigekiyo."

"The home is almost gone, where can I manage so much!" Nakagawa Shigekiyo said helplessly.

However, as soon as Nakagawa Shigekiyo's voice fell, a samurai ran in from outside in shock, "Oh no, my lord, thousands of Tsugawa family troops suddenly appeared outside the city, and the enemy army directly attacked!" ”

"What!"

"It's over, I can't leave if I want to......."

.......

Omi, on the shores of Lake Biwa.

Miyoshi Changqing can be said to have raised his eyebrows.

Originally, when he defeated Hosokawa Haruhoto to control Kinouchi, Miyoshi Chokei could be described as high-spirited, but at this moment to show his majesty to the world, he was scolded by the Tsugawa family.

The coalition army, which was several times larger than itself, rushed towards Kyoto, and the Miyoshi Changqing was almost out of breath.

Fortunately, Tsugawa Soji divided his troops and chose to take a detour from Tanba. Although it threatens the west of Miyoshi Changqing, it also reduces the threat to the east. Due to the limited number of troops at hand, Miyoshi Nagakei could only choose to sell the Isshiki family and the Hatano family, and concentrate his forces to defeat the enemy army in the east first.

But even so, it was not easy to defeat the tens of thousands of troops in the east. Miyoshi Chokei has been circling around Kyoto for so long, and he has never found a chance!

And as if the heavens were beautiful, the death of Asakura Zongdi gave Miyoshi Changqing a perfect opportunity. At this time, Rokkaku Dinglai also made a stupid move, abandoning this lifeline area bordering Omi and Shancheng, and ran to Hanoi instead.

The key was counterattacked by the Hatakeyama family, and the people of the Rokkaku family were really useless, and they were actually ruined.

Now that Rokkaku is trapped in Makishima Castle, Miyoshi Chokei has finally freed up his hands to greatly reduce the pressure, and is ready to defeat the remnants of the Rokkaku family after defeating the leaderless Asakura family first. Then with a big victory, he fought a decisive battle with the Tsugawa family.

For Settsu, Miyoshi Changqing is still very relieved. Araki Village's heavy ability is extraordinary, and he sent Tokawa Ichiku and Yasumi Naomasa to help, so it should be stable.

"The Asakura family deserves to be the first hegemon of the Hokuriku, even without the Asakura Zongdi, the strength shown is indeed extraordinary!" Matsunaga Shu rode a horse and followed Miyoshi Nagakei's side, staring at the battlefield in front of him with half-squinted eyes and said.

Miyoshi Changqing nodded, "The Asakura family has led the army into Luo several times, if it weren't for the sudden death of Asakura Zongdi, how could the situation in Ki be so beneficial to the family?" ”

"Anyway, it's really my family that has the advantage now!" Miyoshi Yoshiken, who was on the left hand side of Miyoshi Changqing, also spoke at this time, "The left flank of the Asakura family is no longer good, and if you ask for battle, you will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army in one fell swoop!" ”

"Well, let's go! Be careful! Although he believed in the strength of his younger brother, Miyoshi Changqing still specially instructed.

"Hah!"

Matsunaga Xiu was also a little itchy at this time, "Lord, please fight in the next place!" ”

"It seems that Dan Zhengzhong can't wait to establish meritorious service, since this is the case, then you will act as a wanderer, waiting for the opportunity to support the various forces of your family!"

"Wow!"

After three hours, it was getting dark.

In the first battle of the day, the Miyoshi family occupied an absolute advantage, and although the Asakura family fought, they were unable to return to the sky, and were defeated by the Miyoshi family, and retreated in the direction of Guanyin Temple Castle.

"My lord, now that the Asakura family's forces have retreated, can we march to Maki Island Castle and completely defeat the Rokkaku family? Once the forces of the Asakura family and the Rokkaku family are defeated, then Tsugawa Soji is equivalent to removing an arm, so the war will be more favorable for the family! During the evening banquet, Matsunaga Shu proposed to Miyoshi Chokei.

Miyoshi Changqing nodded, but did not give an order directly, but looked at the other retainers and said, "What do you think of what Dan Zhengzhong said?" ”

"Dan Zhengzhong's words are naturally good, but I think I can divide part of the troops and continue to march to Omi. The Tsugawa family was able to divide their forces to attack the land of Tango and Tanba, and cut off the wings of the main family, so why couldn't the main family capture Omi? It was Yoshiken Miyoshi, who sat first on the left, who spoke.

"The Tsugawa family divided the army because the coalition army was numerous, and even if it was divided into a force, there would still be tens of thousands of people. And the strength of this family is not as much as that of the coalition army! In the crowd, a man in a puffy dress with a turban wrapped around his head said disdainfully.

Who is this?

Let me break the chapter first!
