Tao Qingxian's Hosaku and ninjas sent to Noto kept sending back information. However, there was one piece of information that interested him the most - the long continuation company led the army to return to Seven Tails City.

"Owari Moriden, the 3,000 troops of the Naga family have left Shigakan and will arrive in Toyota soon." Kato Tsuzo slowly walked into the large wide room of the Onjing Pavilion and reported to Tao Qingxian, who was still eating balls.

"Is that true?!" Tao Qingxian immediately finished eating the rice balls in his hand and stared at the map with his eyes.

"Hatakeyama Yoshien, Shigakan, currently has only 5,000 troops left. Most of the people returned to their abilities, and their soldiers were drastically reduced. Kato walked over to the table and took a rice ball and ate it with relish.

"That said, there are only about 2,000 defenders left in the castle. The 3,000 troops of the Long Company must not be allowed to enter the Seven Tails City! "Tao Qingxian didn't want to lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once the headquarters of the Nagasuke Company successfully entered Nanao Castle, then the Uesugi army would pay great sacrifices to attack the castle.

"Yes, most of the followers of the Takusaku Hatakeyama army went to the beach to take a boat or go on foot to Kaga to guard it. It seems that Kakizaki and Izumi's Kaga invasion was very successful. Kato Tsuzo slowly handed the letter hidden in his sleeve to Tao Qingxian.

"This is?!" Tao Qingxian was taken aback when he looked at the name of the recipient on the letter.

"Kaga Ichikuchi wrote to Hatakeyama Igamoru, the head of the Hatakeyama family. There is also the inscription 'Hatakeyama Iga Shouden' on it. Kato had already read the contents of the letter, so he directly told Tao Qingxian who wrote it to whom.

"'The iron cavalry of the Uesugi army has arrived at the foot of Oyama Gobo Castle, and the Iga Moriden of Mt. Wanghattake will send reinforcements as soon as possible!' Tao Qingxian quickly scanned the content of the letter, but he didn't expect that the polite words at the beginning were gone, which directly explained the critical situation of Kaga Kazu. Kakizaki Keijia's title of 'no one in the Seven Counties of Echigo' is really not in vain.

As the saying goes, the leaders of Kaga Ichika know this truth. When the Hatakeyama family was in danger, Kaga took the initiative to send reinforcements. But the situation has changed. The main force of the Uesugi army was responsible for the attack on Noto, while Kakizaki Keika's headquarters attacked Kaga to contain Kaga and prevent him from sending a single soldier to support the Takusaku Hatakeyama family. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Tao Qingxian specially ordered Kurokawa Kiyomi and Yoshie Muneshin to lead their troops to firmly defend the two castles of Ida Castle and Suemori Castle in the southwest of Noto, and built a local walled formation to block Kaga's only access to Noto.

"The Uesugi family can only save itself by constantly expanding, and the steward family is the way to survive by passing through the Hokuriku." Tao Qingxian has now discovered how to change the way of the Uesugi family.

"There are neighboring countries like the Takeda family in the southeast, and the endless sea in the north, and the only way to develop is to conquer other countries. Although Noto Ichikoku does not have many natural resources, the location of the craftsman Hatakeyama family is in the center of Hokuriku, and it is imperative to destroy the craftsakura Hatakeyama family. At this time, Tao Changfang walked in and happened to hear the conversation between his father Tao Qingxian and Kato Denzo.

"Man must survive, even if it is cannibalism. If you don't want to be swallowed, you have to be strong. It is precisely because the Uesugi family is strong that it is able to eat the craftsman Hatakeyama family! "Although Kato is a ninja, he knows something about the daimyos.

"Our army has little food and grass left, so we can only fight quickly. Since the craftsman Hatakeyama family gave me this opportunity to wait, then I can't waste it! Tao Qingxian decided that he couldn't waste time, "The two of you lead your troops to the north to pursue the Changxu Company Department first. ”

"Yes." Toyomori Yamayoshi and Hiroto Biwajima immediately left Ohiroma after receiving the order.

"Yasuda Echichu guards the hall and Nagao Toe guards the hall, I will equip a large number of military horses for the two of you, you are responsible for going to Toyota to set up an ambush, and you must arrive and complete the deployment before the arrival of the long continuation company."

"Understood!" Yasuda Keigen and Nagao Fujikei also immediately left Ohiroma after receiving the order.

"Tomita, Yanoda, and Konoku, the three of you led your headquarters to attack Shigakan, and Naoe Yamato Mamoru supported you as follow-up reinforcements. Be sure to get Hatakeyama Yoshiwon's head! ”

"Yes! We will not disappoint adults! "Tomita Shimi, Yanoda Yoshimasa, Okuni Yoshitsu, and Naoe Keixuna also left Ohiroma.

Soon, after Tao Qingxian had finished arranging most of the people's tasks, the entire Daguang room became empty. Moreover, Tao Qingxian's available troops have also been distributed. If he can't finish the battle, then he will have to apologize. At present, there is only half a month's supply of food and grass left for the Uesugi army that has entered Noto, and if it is unable to annihilate the main force of the Hatakeyama army, then the Uesugi army can only be forced to withdraw into Vietaka and return without success.

October 25 Toyoda Hara.

Nagatsuren and his sons Nagasuna Ren, Sugiyama Norinao, Naori Nao, Nagaren Ryu, and Iikawa Yoshimi, as well as 3,000 troops, were already dissatisfied with Hatakeyama Yoshito's orders, so the march was very slow. Nagasuren did not send Hosaku or scouts on the march, and he felt that the central part of Noto had been recaptured, and it was unlikely that the Uesugi army would come to attack his forces from near and far, so he ordered the troops to rest in turn.

Before noon, Chang Xulian asked his troops to have a meal, preparing to march again after eating. At this time, Chang Lianlian stared intently in the direction of Seven Tails City, and it didn't take long for the sand and dust to roll up like yellow smoke appeared on the opposite side. The long company then ordered all the samurai to mount their horses and prepare for battle.

As the dust gradually rose, an army was getting closer and closer to the headquarters of the Long Continuation Company. Nagashilian looked away to see what was going on behind him, wondering if this army was Uesugi or friendly······

The long continuum ordered the horn to blow lightly, and the high-pitched sound of the snail echoed in the clear sky, but there was no echo of any response. The smoke and dust finally rolled up to a distance of less than 100 paces away from Chang Xulian's headquarters, and the blood on Chang Xulian's face gradually lost.

At this time, the samurai on horseback who appeared a hundred steps away from the long company meandered down like ants leaving their holes, and the military flags and flag fingers fluttering in the wind were embroidered with bamboo finch patterns, and the long suga couldn't help but sigh, this bamboo finch pattern flag was the family crest of the Uesugi family.

Chang Xulian then looked back at the four sons standing behind him, their faces all pale and looking at him. In their eyes, there is a sense of "this battle will be lost". Chang Sulian's expression remained unchanged, and he quickly thought about countermeasures: "Shiga Pavilion is not far from here, and Matsuba Hall will definitely come to the rescue after learning that we are attacked, as long as it lasts for half an hour!" ”

As soon as Chang Xulian's words fell, the rear of Chang Xulian's headquarters instantly became dusty, and another army arrived here. He very much hoped that it was Hatakeyama Yoshito who sent reinforcements, but if he thought about it, it couldn't be so fast! When he took a closer look, he found that the military flag and flag fingers of this army were still bamboo finch flags! Chang Lianlian's face was like ashes in an instant, and he didn't expect that the Uesugi army would send a considerable number of troops to surround him. Moreover, the appearance of the Uesugi army in his rear showed that it was impossible for Hatakeyama Yoshito of Shigakan to send reinforcements to the rescue.

Chang Xulian decided to strike first, and he immediately appealed to the whole army: "Don't be afraid of enemy reinforcements, because the reinforcements from Seven Tails City will arrive later, and they will form a formation to flank the enemy!" It will last less than half an hour at most, and if I hold back, it will be a shame for the Samurai! You must strike hard at the enemy! ”

Just as Chang Xulian was about to give the order for an assault, a trace of concern suddenly flashed in his heart. Will the Uesugi army in the rear take the opportunity to attack their rear, and will their own army collapse in an instant? However, Chang Xulian knew that if he was too worried at this moment, it would be harmful to himself and the three thousand troops, so he immediately shouted: "Assault! So he took his cronies and samurai and rode towards the Uesugi army.

"Humph! Dying and throeping, let you see what Echigo samurai is! Nagao Fujikei snorted after seeing Naga-suren rushing towards him regardless of the risk of being attacked in the rear, and then waved the sword in his hand and pointed at Naga-surian's military momentum.

In an instant, whether it was the Hatakeyama army or the Uesugi army, both armies screamed and charged forward, like a landslide, and marched forward bravely. However, Yasuda Keimoto's troops did not have time to respond to the assault of the Long Continuation Company, and were immediately dispersed by the menacing Long Continuation Company, and some of them even broke into the army formation of Nagao Fujikei on the side.

And at the same time, the living room of Kenshin Honmaru in Toyama Castle, Vietnam.

"Uesugi Asada, don't forget your roots! Isn't it enough to repeatedly offend my bottom line?! Still want to ask me for reinforcements?! The more Qian Xin spoke, the more angry he became, and he directly threw the folding fan he was holding in his hand to Chao Ding's head with a snap, and knocked off the black hat on his head.

"Your Majesty······ Conviction of sin. However, it still takes thousands of troops to pacify a country, and I hope that he will be humble and honest! After Chao Ding finished speaking, he slowly picked up the black hat on the ground.

At this time, Qianxin ignored Chao Ding, and walked into the courtyard with his Taidao Xiaodou Changguang and waved it vigorously. Chao Ding looked at Qianxin in a cold sweat, and he sat on the side and watched Qianxin's continuous sweat. He had rarely seen Qianxin swing his sword with resentment and anger like he did today.
