After the Ashikaga Fuji clan and others fled to Yuki Castle, the Imperial Court ordered Kibe Fan Tora to garrison Kurihashi Castle and Sekijuku Castle with 100 ashigaru respectively, and then stationed 9,000 troops at the Furukawa Imperial Palace. At this time, the Uesugi army fought more and more, and the original foundation of the Furukawa shogunate was also lost.

Ashikaga Fuji and others fled to Yuki Castle and were welcomed by Mizuno Yoshikatsu, Miura Asano, Takei Katsuden, Iwakami Asaken and other former Yuki retainers. Yuki Castle is located in the northern part of Shimosoku Province, bordering Shimono and Hitachiku. Harsuke Ryoda's choice of the place to flee was obviously planned for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers and horses of the Mizutani family and the Tagaya family once again mobilized some soldiers and horses to enter Yuki Castle. Tagaya Masakai led the three clansmen of the same clan, Tagaya Masahiro, Tagaya Masahiro, Tagaya Jingmon, and Tagaya Jingbo, with a total of 1,000 troops to participate in the battle. The Mizutani family was headed by Mizutani Masamura, and he and his adopted son Mizutani Katsutoshi led 500 troops to enter Yuki Castle with the Tagaya army.

Furukawa Ashikaga retainers who were close to Yuki Castle, Yanagihashi Toyozen Mamoru, Katakura Masayuki, Someya Minbu, Tsuneshi Tsuneshi, Hiraku Katsuhiro, and others also led their own troops to join the battle. In just two days, no less than 5,000 troops had gathered in Yuki Castle. However, there is still moisture in these forces. In the original battle outside Kurihashi Castle, the Ota army captured more than 5,000 prisoners, and after returning to their abilities, more than 4,000 were called up to continue fighting for the Furukawa shogunate. Liang Tian Harusuke's other younger brother, Liang Tian Suke Gang, also came with more than 200 people to participate in the battle.

Originally, it was just Noda Narichao, Ryoda Harusuke and others who lost their territory, and now it is the Ashikaga Fuji clan who also has no territory. If it weren't for the retainers of the former Yuuki family who wanted to continue to fight against the Uesugi family, then the Ashikaga Fuji clan could only run to Hitachi to join the Mizutani family or the Tagaya family.

Ryoda Harsuke didn't have any way to break the enemy after being played by the word game of the court, and the former Yuki retainers had more people than their Furukawa Ashikaga family, so he couldn't interfere too much with their command, for fear of being driven out.

Just when Ryoda Haruke and others had just settled, Yamamoto Temple and Miyagi immediately took the initiative to attack after receiving reinforcements from Shinbata Chotsu sent by the court, and fought a diplomatic battle with Oda Clanji, Soma Junyin and others in Neto Castle.

At noon on the 24th, Shinbata Nagatsu was in the lead, and Yamamoto Temple and Miyagi took turns attacking the Furukawa shogunate army, which had no formation. Although the men and horses of Oda Shiji and others once had 4,000 troops, their combat effectiveness and equipment were not as high as those of the Uesugi army.

The three of Yamamotoji Dingna, Shinbata Nagatsu and Miyagi Yuye frantically attacked the Furukawa shogunate army, which was only more than 3,700, in a decisive battle. In just one hour, Soma Junyin was the first to flee with the remnants of more than 100 people, abandoning Oda Shiji and others who were still fighting against the Uesugi army.

Due to Soma's detachment from the battlefield, Oda Clanji, who is most known as the "immortal bird of Kanto", will certainly not be defeated too quickly. But the thought of fighting to buy time for Soma to escape made Oda Shiji feel uncomfortable.

However, Oda was able to hold on for a while. With the death of his eldest son, Oda Yuji, by Miyagi for his business and his retainers Shinta Fanzong, Shinta Fankoku, and Shinta Zhifang, the morale of the Oda army plummeted.

Okami Soji, Odami Jijia and others of the same clan hurriedly advised the Oda clan to withdraw their troops, anyway, the territory of the Oda family is in Changlu country, even if it suffers, it will be a later matter, and the first to be attacked must be the Shimo-Soma family.

After listening to the advice of Soharu Odami and others, Oda did not hesitate to withdraw his troops. But as soon as he ordered the withdrawal of troops, it was not a withdrawal, but a rout. Oda's family and his sister-in-law, Oda Moroji, were the first to evacuate under the escort of their retainers Sugatani Masasada and his son, followed by the evacuation of the troops of Odami Soharu and other divisions. Kakioka Shikibu, who served as the palace army, was not so lucky, and the 200 men under his command were defeated in a single confrontation with the forces of Shinbata Chotsu, and he himself was killed by the ashigaru of Shinbata's army.

Soma didn't expect that Oda would withdraw his troops at all. If the Oda Army and the Uesugi Army were defeated and defeated, then the Shimoto Soma family would be able to take the opportunity to annex the Oda family's domain and the Yamamoto Temple Governor's Zhiyuki.

Often cruel to reality, the Oda army successfully retreated into Hitachi Province after losing more than 1,000 soldiers and horses. However, after losing 300 people on the battlefield, Soma Shoyin only had 200 people on hand, which was not at all the opponent of the thousands of Uesugi troops. Subsequently, Soma Junyin's revenge came - the Uesugi army instantly captured the large and small castles of the Shimo-Soma family, such as Moriya Castle, Nedo Castle, Toride Castle, and Fushi Castle. The Uesugi army suffered only 400 casualties in the 'Neto War'.

After Soma and his sister-in-law Soma Hideyin fled into Takai Castle, the retainer Takai Yinji, they were attacked and killed by Takai Yinji. Their heads were also cut off by Takai Ginji and sent to Moriya Castle, where the head of Yamamoto Temple was located. Takai Yinji's wishful thinking was to exchange the head of the lord for the existence of his own family, but he was beheaded by the head of Yamamoto Temple and led an army to attack Takai Castle, the castle of Takai, on the grounds of 'selling the lord for glory'.

After the destruction of the Soma family of the lower head of the valley, only Yuki Castle remained in the entire lower head of the castle and continued to fight against the Uesugi family. Due to the fact that the Oda family had lost a lot of troops in several joint battles, Yamamoto Temple did not take the opportunity to go out to Changlu Province, but to garrison the Shimoto-general border.

Xinfa Tian Changdun led his 1,700 troops to the north to join the court. In the battle of Neto, due to the fact that Shinhata Tabe was the vanguard, it was attacked by the Oda and Soma families, and lost some in the early stage. However, the miners who died in the battle were all miners selected from the Chichibu Golden Mountain, which was not a loss for the Uesugi family at all.

Two days later, with the convergence of the 9,000 troops of Shinbatabe and Asada, 10,000 and 700 Uesugi troops surrounded Yuki Castle. Although there were more than 5,000 defenders in Yuki Castle, in the face of the Uesugi army, which was twice as much as his own outside the castle, Harsuke Ryoda and the others couldn't help but panic. As the last castle of the Furukawa Ashikaga family in the country, Ryoda Harusuke and others are already thinking about who to defect to next if they are defeated.

The court did not completely surround Yuki Castle, but only left gaps in the north and east sides of Yuki Castle. Ota Shimasa led his troops to surround the west side of Yuki Castle, and Shinbata Nagatsu and Kibe Fan Tora surrounded the south side of Yuki Castle. The gap deliberately left by the Uesugi army also informed the people of the Furukawa Shogunate in the castle of the demise of the Shimo-Prime Minister Ma family and the defeat of the Oda clan. Yuki Castle, which was already demoralized, was even more depressed when he learned of the bad news.

Upon learning of the loss of the Furukawa Imperial Palace and the siege of Yuki Castle, the Ashikaga Nagao family, the Sano family, the Koyama family and other countrymen in Shimono did not send a single soldier to help, but instead sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight.

However, there is no shortage of 'loyal men' among the retainers of these countrymen. The retainers of the Sano family, Tadayuki Takase, Tsunashige Akami, and Michiyo Yamagami (formerly known as Teruhisa and Shisei, former retainers of the Uesugi Kenmasa and Nagano Yoshimasa, who left Ueno and defected to the Sano family after being invaded by the Hojo family) staged a mutiny to expel Sano Masatsuna from Karasawa Mountain Castle and installed the young Sano Nobutsuna (son of Sano Masatsuna) as the leader, and also sent Yamagami Michiko and an envoy to the court to plead guilty.

With the beginning of the Sano family, then the retainers of the Ashikaga Nagao family, Onodera Nagatora and Onodera Keitsuna, father and son, saw the 'success story' of the Sano family and followed their example and launched a mutiny. But they didn't have that good luck. Onodera Nagatoruna and his son were attacked by Okada Nagakina and Nagao Toncho, and then Onodera Nagasuna and his son were defeated and killed. However, Okada Nagakin, a powerful retainer of the Ashikaga Nagao family, also died in the chaos. Masatsuna Sano also defected to the nearest Ashikaga Nagao family.

Just as Yamagamichi and arrived at the Furukawa Imperial Palace at noon on the 27th, the 10,000-house total peninsula army led by Naokakatsu Tominaga and the Hojo clan Yasu successfully merged, which made Asadachi have to seize the time to conquer Yuki Castle.

"See the town government! The foreign minister is the retainer of the Sano family, Yamagami and Michi. "As soon as you enter the mountain road, I will briefly introduce myself. However, the fact that he was wearing a simple and somewhat shabby carcass made a deep impression on Chaoding.

"I have already learned about the affairs of the Sano family, and there is no doubt that the Sano family is attacking the Utsunomiya family, a loyal minister of the shogunate, for the pseudo-shogunate." Asada already had the idea of reducing the seal or changing the Sano family, but he changed his words, "Utsunomiya Shimono Mamoru sacrificed his life for the shogunate and the Sano family is inseparable, as long as he serves the crusading army and makes meritorious contributions, he can still keep his family name and part of the territory." ”

"The foreign minister understands・・・・・・ "Although Yamagami Michikazu had guessed the fate of the Sano family that might be reduced before entering the castle, he still wanted to defend the Sano family. The Sano family also has a good understanding of him.

"You have nothing to say?" Chao Ding saw the way on the mountain and the appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

"Yes, there is a reason why the Sano family and the pseudo-shogunate are in the same stream. The Ashikaga Nagao family, the Koyama family, etc. have become the courtiers of the pseudo-shogunate, and if the family does not participate, the family name will be cut off like the Utsunomiya family, and the town government will be asked to see it! Yamagami Michiwa began to defend the Sano family, although he couldn't impress the court.

"The Satomi family, the Utsunomiya family, and the Soma family are all loyal to the shogunate, so won't you be as loyal to the shogunate as they are? Tangze Mountain City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as you hold on for a while, your family's reinforcements can arrive. "Asadachi is not interested in the Sano family, but Yamagamichi and this person are very familiar with Shimono and Hitachi, and he wants to win this person over.

"The town government is right・・・・・・" Yamagami Dao and after listening to Chaoding's reprimand, he had nothing to say.

"Forget it, I heard that you are familiar with the terrain of Shimono and Hitachi, do you want to make a contribution under the banner of your family and return to your old territory or get more territory?" Chao Ding asked Yamagami Dao very bluntly, and it depended on whether he would agree.

"Is this true?!" The mountain road and this down the spirit. He was once fighting against the invasion of the Hojo family before Ueno was driven out of the old castle and had to defect to the Sano family.

"Well, if you become a retainer of your own family and make meritorious contributions, it is possible to pass ten thousand stones with knowledge and deeds." Chao Ding took a look at the mountain road and had already taken the bait.

"That minister participates in the lord!" Yamagami Michiwa changed his name in an instant, although he was trusted by the Sano family, but he couldn't get more territory, and in order to restore the name of the Yamagami family, he could only become a retainer of the Uesugi family again. Moreover, he had long known that the battle situation in Ueno was getting worse for the Furukawa Shogunate, and many people in Ueno would not last long before they were destroyed.

"That's good! Someone came and got a new set of carcass. Asadaki immediately asked Sanada Masayuki next to him to go to the armor of the arsenal.

After a while, Sanada Masayuki walked into the Ohiroma with a set of eighty percent new carcass pills and placed them in front of the mountain Michiji.

"This set of carcass pills will be given to you, you put on a new one and go back to Karasawa Mountain Castle to tell the people of the Sano family, and quickly send troops to Ashikaga Castle. If you want to keep your family's name, you have to take practical actions、" Asadachi immediately left Ohiroma, and he also had to supervise the siege.

"Yes!" Yamagami Michikazu also replaced the carcass given to him by the court with the help of two retainers.

At this moment, the outside of Yuki Castle was surrounded by shouts of killing.

With the onslaught of Ota Shimasa, Shinbata Nagatsu and others, the defenders gradually became overwhelmed. In addition, Asada's general Shangshu soldiers divided 2,000 men and horses to join the siege sequence, and soon the Minomaru of Yuki Castle was attacked.

Seeing that the war was unfavorable, Ashikaga Fuji, Ryoda Harusuke and others wanted to escape from Yuki Castle again, but this move was disgusted by Hirota Naoshige and Kido Tadachao (Hirota Naoshige's brother). They were originally from Musashi, but after being attacked by the Hojo family, they could only defect to Ryoda Harusuke, but after a series of events, they had lost faith in the Furukawa Ashikaga family and the Ryoda family.

Subsequently, Hirota Naohiro and Kido Tadaasao led more than 200 troops in their headquarters to kill the defenders of Ninomaru and beheaded Miura Asanao, one of the defenders, and then immediately opened the city gate for the Uesugi army. At this time, after learning that the gate of Ninomaru had been opened, Chaoding did not hesitate to invest another 2,000 Shangshu soldiers to attack the city. Sannomaru was completely captured by the Uesugi army in an instant, and the defenders Hiraku Katsuhiro, Tamaoka Masaharu, and Iwakami Asakami were killed in battle.

After a large number of Uesugi troops poured into Ninomaru, Sugawara Yushigeru (son of Naoshige Hirota) led ten samurai henchmen to attack and kill Mizutani Masaki and Mizutani Katsutoshi and his son in Ninomaru Mizutani's house, and also slashed Mizutani Katsutsumi of the Mizutani clan.

Ninomaru was about to be lost, and the three people who were originally guarding Honmaru, Someya Minbu, Katakura Masayuki, and Takei Katsuden, also joined Ninomaru's melee, but after all, the Uesugi army was superior in numbers and combat effectiveness, and many Furukawa shogunate troops fled in large numbers. Someya Minbu, Katakura Masayuki, and Takei Katsuden were also subsequently captured by Uesugi Gunashigaru.

The Ashikaga Fuji clan, Harusuke Ryoda, and Mochisuke Ryoda had already fled from the north of Yuki Castle, and the rest of the congregation gave up resistance after discovering that the Ashikaga Fuji clan was nowhere to be found. Soon, with the surrender of Tsuneshi Tsuneshi, Noda Narito, Noda Masatori, Noda Masato, and Yoshiharuin Zhou Xing, the Yuki people gradually gave up resistance.

After only two hours of siege, Yuki Castle was captured by the Uesugi army. And the three people who took the initiative to open the city gate and beheaded the puppet shogunate to serve the public, Hirota Naoshi, Kido Tadasa, and Sugawara were taken by the court for their own use. And the public who had been stirring up relations between the public and the generals in the Kanto region could not stay.

The five captured Tagaya Masahiro, Tagaya Weihiro, Tagaya Masakei, Tagaya Nobuyo, and Tagaya Nobuyo were the first to be beheaded outside Yuki Castle, followed by Noda Naritori, Noda Masatori, and Noda Masato. After these two batches were killed, Mizutani Katsumi, Mizuno Yoshikatsu (Yuuki people), Ryoda Suke Tsutsuna (Ryoda Haruke's brother), Tsuneshi Tsuneshi, Yanagihashi Toyozen Mamoru and others were also beheaded one after another.

After Yuki Castle, the last stronghold of the Furukawa Ashikaga family, was captured, the Soichi Province was occupied by the Uesugi family. The Uesugi army captured this stronghold at a cost of more than 1,000 casualties, and although the morale of the defenders was low, Yuki Castle was not a very easy city to conquer. The defenders also had more than 3,000 prisoners and more than 1,900 killed in battle.

Since the reinforcements of the Hojo Army had arrived, Asadachi had to hand over some Furukawa Ashikaga domains such as Furukawa Imperial Palace and Yuki Castle to Ota Shimasa and Kibe Fan Hu to garrison, and he first selected a group of prisoners to replenish the Kamishu soldiers to 6,000 (the loss of the Kamishu soldiers reached 300), and by the way, he also replenished the vacancy of the Ota Shimasa Division, so that his army strength was also restored to 3,000 (500 during the siege). The Xinfa Tian Changdun Department was also stained, and two hundred people were also replenished.

On the 28th, Asadai led 6,000 soldiers from Shangshu and 2,000 generals from Shinbata, Naodunbu, and Naoshi Hirota, with a total of 8,200 troops, marching quickly to Musashi Shinfukuji Temple.
