Reason is the most powerful of all forces, the only force in the world that is consciously active.

The arson of the Yanhuang ninja army ninjas in Hasedo Castle not only did not distract the attention of the Uesugi army, but instead put the Yanhuang army, which had defeated the Uesugi army, into a dilemma, and it was not so easy to extinguish the spreading fire.

The Lucy warriors who killed all sides in the battle were not flattering to carry water and buckets to fight the fire, but the Uesugi army, who suffered heavy casualties, was much more enthusiastic in fighting the fire than they were in the field of incompetence.

More than 14,000 Uesugi prisoners of war, under the urging of more than 15,000 officers and men of the Mogami Army, threw themselves into the cause of firefighting with an unprecedentedly positive attitude, and all the Uesugi army generals, including Ando Daiki, were taken into custody by the soldiers under the command of Yasuma Kunohe.

Uesugi Jinghu, who had lost an arm and an entire army, was no different from a lost dog, and although Anto Ietada did not deliberately send people to search for him in the city, the ninjas of the Yanhuang Ninja Army would not give up the search for this enemy commander.

Facts have proved that Uesugi Keitor, who was able to mix in the Uesugi family and made Uesugi Ken confident and murderous but had no way to start, his ability to save his life was really extraordinary, and the ninjas turned Hasedo Castle upside down, but they couldn't find him.

To a certain extent, at the same time as the total annihilation of the Uesugi army and the capture of Hasedo Castle, the escape of Uesugi Jinghu, the general of the Uesugi army, should be a regret of the commander of the Yan and Huang Army, Anton Ietada, and even greatly reduce Anton Ietada's achievements in capturing Hasedo Castle.

This is because Anton Ietada knows that the surrender of the Rokuta family and Shimura Mitsuyasu is his greatest gain in this battle compared to a worthless Uesugi Keiho, and as for how to arrange them, Anton Ietada is waiting for the latest orders from the governor.

Before the latest orders were delivered by the governor, Anton Ietada temporarily arranged for the Rokuta family and Shimura Mitsuyasu to be in the barracks outside the city, and the soldiers of the Mogami army and the prisoners of war of the Uesugi army were also taken to the barracks outside the city by Valker's army after daybreak.

The performance of the officers and men of the 3rd Lucy Army last night made the captured Uesugi soldiers and the surrendered Mogami soldiers inevitably a little frightened when facing them, and this effect is exactly what Anto Ietada wants to see.

Because of the smooth progress of the war, the 6,000 iron artillery and spearmen who surrounded the city gate have been reorganized into the Second Banner Regiment, and more than 13,000 soldiers of the three Lucy Wings have also been reorganized into the Third Lucy Army; and the number of soldiers of the Third Lucy Regiment, which has been reorganized by all seven wings, has changed from 35,000 at the beginning of the war to 31,000 now.

Although it was said that these three armies jointly annihilated the Uesugi Army and captured Hasedo Castle, only the Third Lucy Army actually participated in the battle, and the role played by the Second Banner Army and the Kunohe Standing Army was almost negligible.

It was precisely because of this that Anton Ietada entrusted the relatively easy task of guarding the prisoners of war to the 3rd Lucy Army, and the dirty work of defending Hasedo Castle and cleaning up the ruins of the castle was done by the 2nd Banner Regiment and the Kunohe Standing Army, which did not participate in the bloody battle.

On the night when Hasedo Castle was captured by the Yanhuang Army, before dawn came, the ninjas of the Yanhuang Ninja Army sent the news to Yubu Yunobu, who had planned to force Yuya Miyazaki for a few more days, but when he saw that Anto Ietada's side had already captured Hasedo Castle and completely annihilated the Uesugi army in the city, he naturally couldn't wait any longer.

The Uesugi and Mogami coalition forces in Yuzawa Castle had not been properly supplied three meals a day since the grain and grass had been burned; first two dry meals a day, then one dry meal a day, and then one porridge a day, and then today's lunch was porridge.

After deciding to capture Yuzawa Castle in one fell swoop today, Yubu Weixin began preparations for the siege early in the morning, and the ladders and siege towers were carried out of the woods not far from the barracks by the soldiers of the Yanhuang Standing Army and carried to the gates of the various barracks.

Yubu Yushin, who wanted to capture Yuzawa Castle in a battle, divided the 100 ladders and 20 siege towers he had built in the last few days equally among the four Yan and Huang armies besieging Yuzawa Castle, and the most crucial siege cone was left by him to his First Banner Legion.

Unlike Anton Ietada's focus on the use of the 3rd Lucy Army, Yubu Weixin, who had always liked to lead by example, was determined to let his 1st Banner Regiment take on the task of the main attack, and the main task of the other armies was to disperse the already small number of defenders in the city.

After a short time of news from the sumptuous breakfast prepared by the men, the officers and men of the various armies walked out of their barracks amid the sound of military trumpets sounding one after another; Yubu Weixin, who was personally seated on the battlefield in the north, let the 25 groups of monks of his regiment carry the ladder at the entrance of the barracks.

As the monks of the fourth-order shogunate army, their strength is not only reflected in their combat power, but also in their fanatical faith, and with such a super strong army that is not afraid of death and does not know fear as the siege vanguard, Yubu Weixin is full of confidence in the siege of his own army.

When the horn of the charge sounded, the monks and warriors who were ready to carry ladders and swords pushed the siege towers and launched an attack on the northern walls of Yuzawa Castle, and behind them were 24,000 spear warriors ready for battle.

Seeing that the monks and soldiers rushed to a position only about 100 meters away from the city wall with the ladder, the allied troops on the city wall hurriedly shot the arrows in their hands at the monks; the monks who carried the ladder in one hand and brandished the monk knife in the other hand kept falling to the ground and dying under the dense rain of arrows.

After about forty or fifty monks were killed, twenty-five ladders were built at the head of Yuzawa Castle at the same time, and before the monks and soldiers who had become fanatical climbed the ladders, a wave of stones suddenly fell from the city wall, killing nearly fifty monks and destroying six ladders in an instant.

The fierce monks began their assault in the face of a rain of arrows flying above their heads and stones that could be thrown down at any moment, and one after another the monks came to the foot of the city wall and climbed up the ladder to the wall.

When the slow-moving siege towers came within range of the allied arches, the rain of arrows from the walls turned into rockets and aimed at the more threatening siege towers, and the monks and soldiers who had plummeted the pressure on their heads took the opportunity to kill the walls!

The allied army, which had not eaten enough for three or four days, encountered a monk soldier with blood-red eyes full of murderous intent, and the battle on the city wall was completely a one-sided battle; you must know that the individual combat power of the monk soldier is equal to that of a high-ranking samurai, and a high-level samurai is a general at the level of a general!
