In fact, this time Hojo Takahiro's anti-war was completely late, and Asadaku felt that he could also take advantage of it. Immediately, the court appointed Ota Shimasa as a 'stay-at-home service' and led 1,000 troops to station outside Wakamatsu Castle. Usami Toshikatsu handed over the defense to Anzawa Toshimitsu, and he brought a hundred guns of Ashigaru and four hundred white-robed knights of the knights led by Nambada Hiroyoshi plus Kato Duanzo and Guidie, and this group of troops drove out of Wakamatsu Castle, and Asadachi appointed Ota Shimasa as the elder of the family, and there were some things that he could suppress, such as the hostile daimyo sending troops to attack and so on.

Indeed, this is also the case, and after the Nikaido family learned that Asadaki had left Wakamatsu Castle with 500 troops, they gathered the 'old and young' of the Ashina family, plus their own army, a total of 1,000 troops, and marched towards Atami Castle, the territory of the Uesugi family. However, Ota Shimasa had already sent the 'militant' Honjo Honjo (who had given him Motofu shortly after the departure of the court) to Atami Castle with two hundred ashigaru as the castle representatives, and there were still one hundred Inawashiro troops in the castle.

At the same time that Nikaido sent troops to attack, Deura Shouqing got the news, and he hurried to Wakamatsu Castle Ninomaru's house to report to Ota Shimasa.

"The eldest of the family, the Nikaido family sent a thousand troops to attack, the general is only a twenty-five-year-old sect, the sister-in-law of the Nikaido Huixing, Nikaido Shengyi, and the deputy general is Suda Shengxiu." Deura Shouqing is very nervous now, but Ota Shimasa is calmly writing something.

"The lord has appointed me as a left-behind officer, so I must guard these territories well." Ota turned around, "Did you go and inform the other retainers?" ”

"Yes, Inawashiro-sama and Anazawa-sama have been informed." Deura Shouqing just said that the distance was close, and asked them to prepare for the battle earlier.

"That's good, that's enough." Ota Shimasa picked up the saber that had been placed aside and walked slowly to the door. The pressure on him at the moment is not small, and he doesn't know what the strength of these big names in southern Oshu is.

Miyagi Masayi also replied to Satake's house, and the Satake family meant that the Uesugi family could only send the princess to marry the Ashina clan after defeating the surrounding hostile forces. Soon after he returned to Aizu, he learned that the Nikaido family was coming, and it was really eventful.

When Inawashiro Morikuni learned of the Nikaido family's attack, he agreed to let Honjo Shiganaga enter Atami Castle, and handed over his military strength to him to command, and he also prepared 300 troops as backup.

"My lord, the strength of the Nikaido family seems to be more than three times that of our army." A samurai walked up behind Honjo Shiranaga, a little worried about his fate.

"Afraid of what? Can't the strength of the family's army be ten by one? "Honjo is not afraid of thousands of enemy troops when he is young, and there is really no word 'afraid' in his dictionary!

"Yes, Bagou City, which is not far from here, was originally owned by the Ashina family, and the original city lord had a seppuku. Now the castle lord has been replaced by Makita Jiro Guard, who is close to the Nikaido family. The samurai had no choice but to ignore the enemy's strength and tell Honjo Shiganaga about the situation in the vicinity.

"Now the enemy army has not yet arrived in Bagou City, concentrate the army!" With the help of two samurai, Honjo put on the white array of haori and walked up to the tower to wait for the army to be assembled.

Soon, the Uesugi army's 200 ashigaru troops were assembled, armed with a variety of weapons. Some were armed with knives, some with spears, some with three spears, and some with bows.

Subsequently, Shigenaga Honjo, who was only 14 years old and was not tall, stood on the tower of the pavilion and 'lectured' to the military forces below.

"Some of you are Echigo soldiers, some are Musashi soldiers, and some are Aizu soldiers. However, you are all soldiers of the Uesugi family! I'm a rough man.,I don't have the literary style of the lord.,This time the thieves of the Nikaido are going to come to Aizu.,Are you afraid?! ”

"Don't be afraid!" The morale of the Uesugi army has always been very high, and in peacetime, the court has ordered the retainers to train Ashigaru, which is different from the group of peasant soldiers in the Nikaido army.

"Excellent! There is a mountain of gold outside Bagou City, as long as you fight Bagou City with me, there will be no one with ten little golden sentences! "Honjo doesn't care about his own identity, since Ota Shimasa asked him to take up the military strength of the Nikaido family, then he will also fight in his own way.

"Oh!" The ashigaru of the Uesugi army were all excited, and they all thought that this battle should be fought well, so that they could still get 'extra money'. Naturally, Honjo didn't get anyone's permission to do this, he was just a little bit of a head.

Honjo Fanchang calculated a little, the march speed of the Nikaido army with a thousand troops was naturally not as fast as his own two hundred troops, and he wanted to directly take Bagou City and seize the gold mine. Honjo was a man of action, and after a brief lecture, he marched with 10 samurai on horseback and 200 ashigaru. Before leaving, he sent someone to inform Inomiao Daishengguo, asking his army to quickly enter Atami Castle and go to fight Bagou Castle himself.

At this moment, Hachigou Castle was still in a state of lax vigilance, and the castle lord Makita Jiro Beiwei, who had just taken office, thought that the Uesugi army was small and did not take it to heart, so he gathered his army in Ninomaru and held a banquet with his subordinates in Honmaru. This castle lord held a banquet, and naturally Ashigaru and the peasants and soldiers were able to rest and eat balls in Ninomaru. Hachigou Castle was small, and the army assembled by Makita Jiro was only 100 people.

Honjo's long and rapid march was the first of his own march and ten samurai on horseback to Hachigou Castle, and there were still pedestrians on the side of the road in the castle town at this moment.

"I'll go and seize Otemon first, and attack Honmaru as soon as the army comes!" Honjo drew his saber and grabbed the horse and rushed towards Otemon. The ten samurai on horseback behind him were not far behind and also rushed forward.

When the pedestrians on the road still didn't understand, they had to dodge to the side first, after all, the samurai were privileged, and they didn't want to be hacked to death on the road for no reason.

Two hundred ashigaru also arrived at the castle town when they rushed to the Otemon Gate. Honjo Fanchang cut down the two feet of the gatekeeper only to see that he had a bamboo and a finch flag to the army.

"Rush!" Shigenaga Honjo took ten samurai around him to Ninomaru to kill.

When Ninomaru was eating a group and resting Nikaido's army, when he saw the fierce and vicious Honjo Prosperous, they all had no will to fight and completely lost their combat ability. In addition, his own general was still drinking in Honmaru, and there were no samurai present to command nearly a hundred of them.

Honjo Shigenaga and the others just started to kill, and after the Uesugi army rushed into Ninomaru, many Nikaido Ashigaru had already laid down their weapons, but there were still thirty-five people lying on the ground and dying.

"What's going on?!" When Makita Jiro heard the shouts of killing, he and the five samurai left the woman in their arms and walked to the door.

"Report! The Uesugi family ・・・・・ Uesugi family called! A ashigaru looked so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"What?! Isn't the Uesugi family very small? How can it suddenly attack?! When Makita Jiro Beibei still didn't believe it, Honjo Shiganaga left half of the army to watch the surrender, and he took ten samurai and one hundred ashigaru to the door of Honmaru, and stared directly at Makita Jiro Bei who was at the door of the small building.

"Presumably you are the castle lord appointed by the Nikaido family? Yagoro Honjo is a retainer of the lower Uesugi family! "Obviously, Honjo doesn't want to 'bully the weak', and there is only the Uesugi army here in Honmaru, and the Nikaido army only has two ashigaru and five samurai plus a castle lord Makita Jiro Guard. Honjo Shigenaga took a few steps forward, took a ashigaru spear behind him, and walked towards Makita Jiro Guard.

"Protect your lordship!" After one of the samurai of the Nikaido family shouted, five samurai attacked Honjo Shiranaga together. And the two ashigaru didn't want to fight, so they walked behind Makita Jiro Bei 'very well'.

"Humph! Let's take a look at the bookmaker's marksmanship! Honjo waved a spear that was a little more than his height and began to play five.

Honjo Shiganaga was the first to stab his spear into the abdomen of a Nikaido samurai, then he let go and drew his saber to fight another Nikaido samurai. And the remaining three had to 'watch the show' on the side.

"Ahh However, the samurai who fought with Honjo Shigenaga was obviously not good at swordsmanship, and was soon killed by Honjo Shiganaga, and was also cut off by the Uesugi family's Ashigaru.

"Damn! Looks like I can't wait for the army to come to help, I'll watch you be defeated! Makita Jiro was afraid that he would be humiliated after being captured, so he killed himself directly at the gate of the small restaurant.

"Your Excellency!" When the three samurai saw that their castle lord had committed suicide, they didn't want to kill themselves, but rushed to the enemy and died! However, Honjo Shiganaga ignored them. Twenty Uesugi warriors quickly stepped forward, drew their bows and arrows, and shot three samurai of the Nikaido family in an instant.

"We surrender! My lord, there are several women in there. The two ashigaru instantly threw away their weapons and knelt to the side.

"Take them down and take them to Atami Castle with Ninomaru." Honjo didn't want to leave these people behind, but he didn't want to let them go so early.

"Yes." After the four ashigaru dragged away the two surrendered Nikaido soldiers ashigaru, Honjo Shigenaga and his ten samurai entered the small hall.

"Don't kill us!" As soon as they entered, they saw seven women snuggling up to each other, hiding to the side.

"Go back." Shigenaga Honjo knew that they were all women from the whale house, and they were also forced to come to Honmaru to drink and have fun with the samurai of the Nikaido family.

"Thank you, sir!" As soon as the women saw that they could leave, they quickly bypassed Honjo Shiranaga and the others and escaped.

"My lord, isn't it a pity, I'll wait for that ......" One of the samurai was a little disapproving of Honjo's approach.

"When this battle is over, you can go to the whale house for a month!" Honjo didn't want to end up like them, he spent some time with Kakizaki Keiie, Asada, and Ota Shimasa, and learned a lot about military strategy and commanding the army.

After half a pillar of incense, these 65 captured Nikaido family ashigaru people were escorted outside Atami Castle by 100 Uesugi family ashigaru, and then sent by Inodai Mori to guard over Keiji Castle and reported to Ota Shimasa.

Honjo Shiganaga later fulfilled his promise by taking out a few of the small gold judgments found in the gold mine and Honmaru, ten pieces each. Ten samurai took twenty pieces, but he did not take any of them.
