"Nagao Toe Shou Commandment, can't you just explain it directly to the Imperial Palace? Now, even if he opens the city and surrenders, he will inevitably die. At present, there is ironclad evidence of Nagao Tooe's collusion with forces such as the Yuri Twelve Party, the Takeda family, the Tozawa family, the Minato Yasuto family, and the Hiyama Yasuto family. I heard from the envoy sent by the lord that the materials of the Takeda family to support Nagao Enoemori have been withheld by our side in Numata and Mizukubo. Shigeya Shinbata sneered and said, he didn't have a good impression of Nagao Fujikei anyway. When Nagao Fujijing was still serving as the guardian of Echigo, Nagao Fujijing repeatedly sent troops to harass Yangbei, and the Shinbata family suffered a lot at that time.

"Nagao Toe Mamoru is so old, he must take care of his face. The Imperial House is also an honest person, and if you don't bring it up, she'll ignore it when you don't need it. Suda said after smiling.

"Let's not talk about anything else. Lei Cheng has been captured by us, and then our army will be able to point directly at Gaocheng, the base of Nagao Yuanjiang. Until then, is this Captain Ueda Fujiemon still alive? Kohata Keizune said after pulling out his saber and putting it on the neck of Captain Ueda Fujiemon.

"Keep it, why not? Let him immediately rush back to Takajo from this place to inform Nagao Toe Mamoru and tell Nagao Toe Mamoru to prepare for Kaejo to surrender or commit suicide. Usami Dingkatsu smiled and walked over to Kohata Keizume's side and asked him to put away his saber.

"Usami Minbu Hall is right." Kohata Keizune nodded, then put away his saber and kicked Captain Ueda Fujiemon over.

"Very ······ Thank you very much for your kindness······" Captain Ueda Fujiemon ran out after finishing crawling.

"Next, our army will make a final attack on Takajo, the main stronghold of Nagao Enoemori. Honjo Misaku Moriden has gathered a considerable number of troops in Tochio Castle, and Nagao Heiroku of Zao Castle has been pinned down by Honjo Misaku Mamoru to the point where he cannot move. The Shofuden of the Small Nation's Criminal Department had also led his army south via the Shinno River, and he would soon be able to cut off the connection between Zao Castle and Takashiro. "Usami is determined to destroy the living force of Nagao Fujikei step by step.

"So what is the next goal of our army? Nagao Heiroku who attacked Zao Castle first, or Hayabe Shifu of Kamo Castle and Wada Kiyohachi of Hanyu Castle? Kurokawa Kiyomi looked at Captain Ueda Fujiemon and asked the thoughtful Usami Takatsu after seeing that Captain Ueda Fujiemon had run away.

"First of all, the enemy forces around the Agano River will be cleared, and all foreign aid from Nagao Enoemori will be cut off." Usami replied after shaking his head. He thinks that if he continues to keep the external window of Nagao Fujikei, I'm afraid Nagao Fujikei will continue to insist on his rebellious mind and will not waver, and the same will be true for everyone in his family.

"That numa city was still the old leader of my Xinfa Tian family before, and most of the city soldiers were forced to follow the long tail Yuanjiang to defend the side, so let me go." Shigeya Shinbata took the initiative to ask Usami to conquer Numatari Castle.

"Yes, you can. However, Shinbata Inaba is guarding the temple, and your mission is not only to capture Nutashi Castle, but also to annihilate some of the Andong troops stationed around Numatari Castle. "Usami has a plan in mind.

"Understood." The Shigeya Shigeka of Shinbata immediately left Thunder City with their retainer Tsunayuki Shinhata and his cousin Harunobu Sasaki.

"It is very likely that the Honjo Misaku Shouden side will be difficult to support alone, and the places such as Damian Castle, Mifu Castle, and Zao Castle are all in the hands of Nagao Heiroku, and the original base of Nagao Enoemori Castle is not far from Nagao Heiroku. Once Tochio Castle is lost, then the old leader of the Suyoshi Nagao family (Furushi Nagao family) will be captured by the rebels. The consequences will be dire. "Yasuda Youzhong, at this moment, I'm afraid that Honjo won't be able to hold on.

"Yes, once the old leader of the Qiji Nagao family is completely captured by the rebels, then Joetsu will be in danger." Kiyomi Kurokawa immediately thought of Kenshin, who was in command of Kasuga Mountain Castle, and she was now devoting most of her forces to preventing the Takeda Army from attacking Okushinano in the north, leaving few defenders in most of Joetsu.

"Our army should immediately leave the city and march westward. Presumably, Nagao Toe Mamoru will mobilize more troops to defend his own base. Soon after, the Aizu generals would lead their troops into Echigo. At that point, we will launch a general assault on Takajo again. "Usami is determined to first defeat all the castle soldiers controlled by Nagao Fujikei around Takashiro, and then carry out a final attack on Takashiro.

Just when the Shibata Shigeya led the army to the Xinjin Pavilion quickly, several local samurai who remained in the old collar of the Xinbata family had been waiting here for a long time.

"Ministers, see Inaba Guarding the Temple." As soon as he saw the three-star flag seal of the Xinbata family, the Hosokoshi general and the Numatashi Zenbei immediately walked in front of the Xinbata Shige's family.

"You guys are ······" Shigejia Shinbata was a little surprised when he saw this scene in front of him.

"The ministers were supposed to follow the late Boqishou, but they chose to stay because they didn't want to leave their hometown to go to Aizu and Kanto. But the long-tailed Toe Shou is too deceitful! In exchange for the assistance of the Anton family, the White Mountain Island and several villages west of Nushuri City were given to the Anton family, and the acting officials of the harbor were driven away by them. The ministers have been waiting for your arrival, and now they have finally arrived. General Hosokoshi and Numatsu Zenbei said helplessly.

"At present, a large number of castles along the coast, such as Kiba Castle, Hakuyamashima Castle, Nutashi Castle, Sone Castle, Maki Castle, Shirane Castle, Suda Castle, and Yoshida Castle, were occupied by Nagao Toe Mamoru and Sanjo Castle for a long time. Sanjo Castle was garrisoned by Takemata Jiro Uemon, a retainer of Mamoru Omi, and the garrison was less than 100 men, and it was unclear how long they would be able to hold out. Sasaki Harunobu immediately walked over to Shigeta Shigeya and reminded him of the situation in Sanjojo Castle.

"However, before rescuing Sanjo Castle, it is necessary to first attack Hanyuda Castle, Kamo Castle (Kamoyama Castle), Suda Castle, Shirane Castle and other castle soldiers one by one. After attacking these cities along the way, it is necessary to leave a considerable part of the troops to stay behind to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy again. It is much easier to attack the coastal areas than to rescue Sanjo Castle, at least our side has the advantage of leading forces and people. "Tsunayuki Shinhata didn't think it was a good idea to rescue Sanjo Castle at this time. At present, the former ministers of the Xinfa Tian family have taken the initiative to come to the Xinjin Pavilion, and it is reasonable that they should first attack the castle soldiers of Nagao Fuji Jingfang in the coastal area.

"Then attack Zehai City first, and then attack Nusuicheng City and Baishan Island." The Xinfa Tian family made a decision after weighing it up repeatedly. He also thought that it was not appropriate to go to the rescue of Sanjo Castle, because there were a lot of enemy soldiers along the way, and it would take a lot of time and energy to capture them one by one.

"Yes." Sasaki Harunobu saw that Shigeya Shinbata had made a decision, so he no longer raised any objections.

At the same time, Takajo Honmaru Ohiro room.

"Guarding the palace, the minister is incompetent······ Thunder City ······ Thunder Castle has been captured by the Uesugi army! "After Captain Ueda Fujiemon entered Ohiroma, he didn't dare to look up and look directly at Nagao Fujikei. 、

"The old man knows that Lei City has fallen, and none of the more than 200 city soldiers under your command have survived." Nagao Fujikei had already learned the news just after the fall of Thunder City. Because the fall of Thunder City has a lot to do with him. Because Nagao Fujikei did not send a single soldier to support Thunder City.

"Brother, please complete the battle at Hakusan River Chestnut no Yue as soon as possible. Otherwise, Aizu Sei and the Uesugi army will soon be in the vicinity of Takajo Castle! "Nagao Keiji, who was sitting next to Nagao Fujikei, felt that the situation had begun to become serious.

"The old man has asked the carpenter to help them supervise the progress. Shinozuka and other generals have already entered Yoshida Castle and contain the small country criminal department Shaosuke. Captain Ueda Fujiemon, the old man will give you another chance to make up for your mistakes, if you escape back alone, don't blame the old man for not recognizing people. "Nagao Fujikei plans to arrange a 'heavy duty' for Captain Ueda Fujiemon.

"Yes, the minister will definitely make up for it!" Captain Ueda Fujiemon nodded.

"Go to Kiba Castle immediately to garrison, and if Kiba Castle falls into the hands of the enemy again, then you don't have to come back." Nagao Fujijing said loudly.

"Yes, I understand." Captain Ueda Fujiemon immediately took the order and left.

"Sanjo Castle has not yet been captured, if Sanjo Castle is not in our hands at this moment, the Nagao Ping Six Hall will be isolated by the enemy." Nagao Keiji instantly thought of Nagao Nagakei's view of Zao Castle. He didn't expect that the Asadai would suddenly transfer the Shonai Sei, which had been used to attack Yuri County, to Echigo, and he didn't expect that a large number of troops had already begun to be recruited from all over the four Aizu counties to prepare for Echigo.

"Xinbao and other generals have been transferred by the old man to the direction of the three cities, and there are only less than 100 defenders in the city, and 300 troops are more than enough." Nagao Fujikei didn't want to divide too many troops at the moment, because he still needed to garrison Takajo in case the Uesugi army came to Takajo Castle.
