Just after Asada's defeat of the combined forces of Narita and Oda, he also sent Hosoya and his son to lead 2,000 Shangshu soldiers to attack the Saishi Castle to deter the Narita family, so that his wife was peaceful in the Ninja Castle.

However, although Oda Asahi in the Riding West Castle has the same name as Uesugi Shoti, his courage and commander can be said to be extremely poor, not to mention abandoning a large number of his own troops, and as soon as he returned to Honmaru, he fled to Ninja City with his family and cronies to join his brother Narita Nagatai, so that the people of Riding West Castle, Oda's retainers, and samurai have lost confidence in him. It's a shame that you don't have the determination to live and die with the city of your realm.

By the time the two thousand Shangzhou soldiers from Hosoya arrived, Qixi City had already opened the Big Hands Gate. The leaders and the ashigaru and peasant soldiers who fled back to Saishijo welcomed the Uesugi army. And Hosoya father and son had already received a death order from the court, not to disturb the people, not to burn and loot, but also to immediately calm the people's hearts and restore law and order. He also announced the policy of the Uesugi family: abolishing all excesses and miscellaneous taxes, and changing the tax to four public and six people.

Of course, Hosoya Shitomo naturally became the jodai of Qixi Castle and began to manage Qixi Castle. Hosoya Shimichi led a part of the army to collect the weapons and armor of the defeated army, and burned the flag of the Oda family and replaced it with the bamboo and finch banner of the Uesugi family.

The three samurai who fled back to Ninja Castle were immediately taken to Honmaru's Ohiroma, and immediately Narita Narita Nagatai, the head of a pen Narita Yasuki, Narita, the second son of Narita, the veteran Teshima Takayoshi, the general Shibasaki and Izumi Mamoru, and the general Masaki Tanba Mororiei immediately arrived and sat in their respective positions.

"The house hall, the ministers are incompetent, and I watched the young master be beheaded by the Musashi guard······" The samurai who tore off his clothes and wrapped the head of the Narita clan in this way handed the wrapped head to the general Masaki Toshiei and knelt aside and wept silently, as did the two samurai accompanying him.

"What?!" Just as Masaki Toshiei slowly opened the fragment of his clothes in front of Narita Nagataya, Narita's unsightly head appeared to everyone present. However, they have their own thoughts.

"Brother, please mourn and be submissive." Narita Yasuki could only say a faint word of condolences, he was the first to persuade Narita Nagataya to obey the Uesugi family. But in the end, Narita Changtai didn't stop him, and after being beaten by the dragon girl, he directly reversed! also took the initiative to collude with the Hojo family! This made him completely chilled, he did not participate in this dispatch, and also ordered the general Shibasaki and Izumi Mamoru and Masaki Toshiei not to participate in it, so that Narita Nagatai's military combat effectiveness was very low, and they were basically mainly peasant soldiers.

"I'm so sorry! The ministers can't rescue in time! "Masaki Toshiei and Shibasaki and Izumi Mamoru knelt in front of Narita Nagataya, they were still young at this time, and almost all of the retainers who took the initiative to break off Narita Narita Nagatayasu were killed in battle, and they were also the shoguns who had just been promoted from Ashigaru Daisho.

"Forget it, forget it······" Narita Nagata stood up tremblingly, pushed away Narita Taiji, who was about to help him, and staggered away from Ohiroma. It can be said that the only one with the most influence in Narita's family now is Narita Taiji. Of course, he is the only one who can replace his brother Narita Nagatai.

The Narita clan was the official of the Yamauchi Uesugi clan for generations, so he initially served the Kanto governor and Uesugi Kenma, but the main family declined due to the struggle of the Later Hojo clan. The Narita family is still a member of the Uesugi family, and Narita Taiji is one of them, of course, Narita Narita's second son, Narita Narita Nagata, has long conspired with Narita Taiji. Narita Nagataka has long seen that the Narita clan is not pleasing to the eye, and this time he wants to use the power of Narita Taiji to sit firmly in the position of the head of the Narita family.

When the three Narita samurai brought back the head of the Narita clan, he was happy in his heart. Although he couldn't show it on the spot, he still pinched his thighs and couldn't let himself laugh.

At this moment, outside Namba Castle, there were already 2,900 Imagawa troops, 1,200 Qingbei, and 1,500 Sagami conscriptions, a total of 5,600 troops, and the ancient city had been encircled. Of course, most of the young and strong Namba Kenji who volunteered to join the Uesugi army still sent people to distribute weapons to disrupt them and divide them into the Wushu army, and many of the lords were directly placed in Honmaru, but Namba Tian Kenji moved the main camp out of the main camp, and after Ninomaru set up the main camp, most of the military forces were arranged in Sannomaru to standby. The wounded Aizu soldiers were also placed in Honmaru like the lords, and the lightly wounded helped carry arrows and weapons.

At this moment, the 1,550 people of the Chaoding main team plus the 3,200 Shangzhou soldiers who had completed the reorganization, a total of 4,750 troops, had reached Songshan City. Although it is possible to reach Kawagoe Castle directly from Ishishonto Castle, the road is not easy to walk, and the road from Matsuyama Castle to Kawagoe Castle is a major road.

At this time, Saito Michizo, who had been silent during the march, spoke: "Asada, if you continue like this, you won't have enough troops to fight Hojo." ”

"Why did my father-in-law say this?" Asada immediately stopped the Michinoku white horse named 'Martial Fan' under the crotch, and this good horse was also given by the Soma family, and Asadaki accepted the gift from the Soma family because he liked it very much.

"Just look at the map." Although Saito Michizo was dressed in a Wu suit, he was still very neat when he dismounted.

"Zizheng, you let the army move forward." Asadaki immediately asked Sanada Masayuki to bring the map, and he immediately began to study it with Ota Shimasa, Saito Michizo, and Saito Toshizo.

"Yes." Ota Zimasai ordered Date Fang to be the vanguard, and he gave up his loyalty and re-eleven through his father and son to lead the Chinese army first, and he could lead the rear army. And Chaoding's own team also listened.

"You see, the Hojo family used the Narita family to reduce the Uesugi family's strength by 2,000 to monitor Ninja Castle. That's not all, now Hojo's army should start attacking Namba Castle, how much of the army is really used for a decisive battle? Even if you reappear in the sight of the Hojo family now, there are not enough troops to fight the Hojo family to the death and break head-on. You must know that this is Musashi, most of it is plain, and a third of Mino is still mountainous and hilly! "The meaning of Saito Michizo is very simple, if you want to fight an ambush here, it is basically impossible! Even if you hide in the forest, you will be detected by enemy ninjas and scouts, and in the end, the gains outweigh the losses.

"In this way, there will be other wealthy families who will betray the Uesugi family." Ota Shimasa feels that Narita Nagata and Oda Asahi are just the beginning, and there will be more to come.

"The power of the Hojo family in Ueno Ichikoku has basically been cleared, and the lower half of the country has returned to the Furukawa Ashikaga family······" When Saito Rizo talked about the Furukawa Ashikaga family, he instantly thought of something, "By the way, this family can use the soldiers of Liangtian-sama of Sekijuku Castle!" He can still quickly lead a thousand troops west to Musashi to assist his family! ”

"So what? Ueno's Uesugi army hadn't had time to move south yet, and everything was just a pretense. "Saito Michizo is not optimistic about the military strength of Haruke Ryoda, he does not think that the Shimoji Furukawa Ashikaga family has the extra strength to fight for the Uesugi Dynasty.

"Lord, look here." Sanada Masayuki pointed to the map a little rudely, but he didn't pay attention to his rudeness.

"Tenjin Mountain Castle! Isn't that the territory of Yasumon Fujita? Saito Toshizo reacted immediately, he felt that the Fujita family could be used as reinforcements.

"You mean the Fujita family will also join forces with Hojo?" Chaoding can't believe it now! If that's the case, the net that Hojo Shiyasu laid in order to take Musashi in one fell swoop is really big! As long as Fujita Yasumi moves now, then Honjo's long bowl-shaped collar and other places will be lost in an instant! It can now be said that it is like a virtual being, and everyone is the same.

"Well, the lord's family is really an enemy on three sides now." Ota Zimasa sighed, he really didn't expect that he would have to fight such a difficult battle not long after returning to Musashi.

"Hmph, no matter how capable Hojo Shiyasu is, he will also be poor in donkey skills. If Fujita Yasubange dares to move, then the two adults of Hirai Castle, Oishi Tsunamoto, and Kunimine Castle, Kiyoshi Ikawa, can drive straight into and conquer his territory, and then he can only go to Hojo Shiyasu alone. "Chao Ding is not going to move him first, others will do it for him, he is not in a hurry at this time.

"Report! Lord Lord, Takajo Yinyoshi, who occupies Xiaojincheng and Taicheng, the national capital, raises troops to support the Hojo family! His son Takajo Yinchen has already led 1,500 troops to join the army of Hojo Shiyasu! "A ninja appeared in an instant five steps away from Asada and the others.

"What?! Takashiro House! "Saito Rizo looked at the Kanto map and sat directly on the lawn, and if this continues, the supporters of the Hojo family will burn the entire Kanto like wildfire! It's unimaginable!

"Report! Lord Lord, Hara Yinzhen, the lord of Honsakura Castle, raised troops to support the Hojo family! His son Hara Yinei led his troops with 2,000 troops and will enter Musashi in five days! Another ninja came to report bad news, which gave hope to Michizo Saito, who was dragging his chin.

"Hahaha!" Suddenly, Saito Michizo looked up to the sky and smiled, which surprised everyone, and now that the Hojo Army has 3,500 people, how can he still laugh? Shouldn't it be crying?

"Father-in-law has something to say, you should have seen something, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy." Asadaki guessed that Michizo Saito saw clues that no one else could see.

"I laugh at the Hojo clan Kang Shaomou, as long as there are more people who support him, the two of you will naturally be able to sit more firmly in the future. I don't think his reinforcements are coming! "Michizo Saito can now show his strategy again, how can he not be happy?

This is a bit similar to the situation in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when Cao Mengde and Ma Mengqi were at war. Ma Mengqi continued to deploy troops with the support of the Qiang people, so that Cao Mengde found that his skills were empty, so he sent a force of troops and horses to attack his rear, forcing his army to be disordered, and finally defeated him. "Chao Ding thought about it, isn't this familiar? It seems that the tactic of 'detachment combat' is really useful, but unfortunately Hojo Shiyasu has not heard anything from the land of Ou, and if he knew, he would not dare to do so. Although it wasn't necessarily what he ordered, he wasn't unaware.

"Yes, that's good." Michizo Saito nodded. He knew that as long as Kenji Namba could hold Namba Tian Castle for a month, then the situation would definitely be reversed! As long as Namba Ta Castle was not captured, then Kawagoe and other places would not be attacked by the Hojo Army, and Asadachi would be able to attack various places with confidence.

"Xiliding, you go to Guhe City once, and ask the Duke to send an army to quickly attack Xiaojin City and other places, and then use it as the territory of the Duke." The court can only use this method in exchange for the Ashikaga Fuji clan to send troops, and only if he nods Liang Tian Hasuke's soldiers can move, otherwise Liang Tian Harusuke will not act rashly.

"Yes." Immediately, a samurai beside him immediately ran to his horse and immediately set off for Shimoso.

"It's not enough, for now, I can only wait for reinforcements in Heyue City." Asadachi can't think of any way now, as long as Namba Tian Kenji can hold on, then the victory must be the Uesugi family.

"Yes." The retainers immediately mounted their horses and packed up their maps, but Chao Ding could only meditate as he went. He also thought that as long as he could do the same thing as Cao Mengde and succeed, it would be good, but his opponent was Hojo Shiyasu. The Hojo clan is different, the lost territory belongs to the Takashiro family and not the Hojo family, so he won't worry. On the one hand, he had to consider not allowing Hojo Shiyasu to capture Namba Castle, which was the gateway to Koe Castle, and his lips were cold; On the other hand, Asadaki still needs a large number of reinforcements, even if Kato Duanzo's speed is fast, he must lead them to arrive in time, and it will be all empty if he doesn't have time to arrive.

However, Saito Michizo learned from a simple and quick look at the map and from the ninja's report that Edo Castle was captured by the Uesugi army a few years ago, and a fire broke out in the rear floor, and the castle defense facilities were destroyed, and the current Edo Castle has only been renovated by Sannomaru, and the castle lord is the newly arrived Daido Temple Morihiro. This man was originally a member of the Hojo clan's Yasuma clan, but due to the lack of people to garrison the important area, the Hojo clan temporarily transferred him to Edo Castle and calmed the local people.

However, he did not expect that a bold plan had already been conceived in the minds of Michizo Saito and Asadachi Uesugi. This plan was the same as the original surprise attack on Edo Castle, with cavalry as the main force, taking the castle in an instant, setting fire to the castle, and then leaving.

It is said that a sneak attack that has been used once will not succeed a second time, but Chaoding still has to try. He directly ordered Saito Rizo to lead the 450 Kawagoe Knights to set off in full gear and attack Edo Castle as fast as possible, and not leave a single prisoner of war, killing those who could be killed, and letting those who could not be killed.

Chao Ding still divided the army of 450 people and left when the troops were seriously insufficient, and he also knew that as long as he took a wrong step, he would lose everything! Just when Hojo thought that the game he had laid out was already seamless, Uesugi Asadashi was slowly tearing it apart.

The dragon girl's main team and the front team were the first to enter Echigo, but she was still not at ease when she left, so she still let the two teams of Yamamoto Temple and Nagao Keishin, a total of 6,000 troops, march slowly, in order to prepare for emergencies. And the 1,500 troops of the Igawa Kiyocho of Kuniho Castle, plus the 2,500 troops of the old Uesugi family under the command of Hirai Castle's Oishi Tsunamoto, there are also a lot of troops available to the court. If it weren't for the fact that the dragon girl hadn't gone to Odawara Castle, Hojo Shiyasu wouldn't have been so anxious to get out of the nest.
