In the second year of Yonglu, on the 18th day of the seventh month. The Nagano and Takeda armies fought fiercely at Oda Ihara, Saku-gun, Kita-Shinano, and it was not until noon that the Nagano army's overwhelming offensive was broken up by the Takeda army's Kato Nobuni and Hinata Masanari's spear array.

However, Nagano Yoshimasa's forces were not as abundant as Takeda Nobuyoshi's, and when Takeda Nobuyoshi sent Yokota Tsunamatsu and Ganli Masadada, he immediately ordered Kohata Keisada's army to raid the left flank of the Takeda army's main camp. When Kohata received the order from Nagano Yoshimasa, he couldn't mobilize too many troops to form a special team, and most of the troops under his command were fighting fiercely with Yokota Tsunamatsu and Ganli Masatada, and he couldn't pull much at all. Soon, Kohata Keitei still pulled out a thousand troops and attacked the left flank of the Takeda army's main formation.

And both Takeda Nobuyoru and Katsuyama Clan Moto knew what kind of troops they were under their command, and it was completely impossible to compare them with the Ueno soldiers who came down like a tiger. Soon, Takeda Nobuyoru and Katsuyama Clan were defeated by Kohata Keisada.

If Takeda Nobuyoru and Katsuyama Clan Mototo resisted for a while, they only had to hold out until Yokota Tsunamatsu and Ganli Masadada succeeded in raiding the flank of the Nagano army. However, Takeda Nobuyoru and Katsuyama were very careful about their own lives, and when they saw that the form was not right, they stopped resisting and took the initiative to retreat.

The defeat of Takeda Nobuyoru and Katsuyama Clan Moto, the flanks of Takeda Nobuyoshi's main camp were completely revealed. The rest of the Takeda Army's powerful generals such as Kawazuki Nobushi and Murosumi Huden were all on the right flank. This defeat of Takeda Nobuyoru and Katsuyama Clan Mototo completely disrupted Takeda Nobuyoshige's plan.

When Takeda Nobuyoshi noticed that the military formation on his left flank was in disarray, many ashigaru and peasant soldiers fled to the left and right. Takeda Nobuyoshi immediately guessed probably-there must be an enemy attack! In order to stabilize the main formation, Takeda Nobuyoshi had to send someone to urgently order the two divisions of Ganli Masataka and Yokota Tsunamatsu, who had just been dispatched, to be transferred back.

However, at this very moment. The samurai, dressed in black lacquer maru, threw away a thick, wide, and long sword, and immediately pulled out a sharp and long long-handled sword, killing all the way in front of Kato Nobuni and Hinata Masanari.

"Who's coming?!" Kato asked after forcibly calming down.

"In the lower is one of the sixteen guns in Ueno, Daihu Xiuzuna!" After reporting to his home, Dahu Xiugang immediately rushed to Kato Nobubang and Hinata Masanari.

Kato Nobuni and Hinata Masanari thought that a samurai in the Nagano army could easily kill in front of them, he was only one of the sixteen shots in Ueno, if all the sixteen shots were killed, would he still be alive? It's better to plan early and retreat quickly to save your life.

Soon, Nagano took advantage of the gap opened by Hidetsuna and quickly led his army to defeat Kato Nobuni and Hinata Masanari. A large number of Takeda Army routs poured like a tide directly in front of the Takeda Army's main formation.

"The matter has come to this, our army has been unable to recover the defeat in this battle, so order the Heyu Hall and the Muroju Hall to serve as the palace army, and the rest of the troops will withdraw!" Takeda Nobuyoshi looked at the Nagano army, which was gradually approaching the main camp, and gave the order to withdraw his troops with hatred.

And Nagano Yoshimasa saw that after the Takeda army retreated, he ordered not to pursue. He believed that the victory in this battle had achieved the goal of supporting Kenshin, and also defeated a large number of Takeda troops, and he had successfully completed the task. If the pursuit continues, it is very likely that it will be attacked by Takeda Shingen's main army. What's more, many of the wealthy clans and samurai of Kita-Shinano supported the Takeda family, and if they continued to march westward, they might be attacked.

At this moment, Dahu Xiugang put away his sword, walked in front of Nagano Yemasa, and said, "Shinano Palace, today our army has avenged the Xian Zheng Gong and many soldiers who have been sleeping here for a long time. ”

"Xiugang, if you hadn't helped to relieve our army in time, I'm afraid our army would have been defeated and retreated after being attacked from both sides by the Takeda army." Nagano is still a little frightened when he thinks about it now.

"Shinanoden, you're welcome. The order of the town government to go out with you was originally ordered to protect you, after all, you are already old. Neither the Ruler Hall nor the Town Government wants you, the big tree in Ueno, to fall. Da Hu Xiugang said with a smile.

"If there is no you in this battle, the old man will really fall!" Nagano Yoshimasa also laughed.

"Shinanoden, in this battle, our army won more than a dozen famous samurai of the Takeda family, Ojo Iyo Mamoru Shigemasa, Yoryotsuki Gomori, Maruko Heiuchi, Inamuro Saburo Uemon, etc., and more than 3,000 Ashigaru miscellaneous soldiers were killed!" Kohata Keitari was very happy and ran over to report to Nagano Yemasa.

"As you hear the name, you know that the people who are begging for death are small lords and samurai of the land." Nagano said, shaking his head.

"My lord, the general of the Takeda Army in this battle is a relative of the Takeda family. Most of the generals under his command were famous generals in Koshin and Tokaido. Once the news of the crushing defeat of the Takeda army in this battle comes out, it will deal a big blow to the Takeda family. The daimyo allied with the Takeda family, the wealthy clans and the lords of the countrymen who are subordinate to the Takeda family will all find their own way back. The old Fujii Tomataka next to Nagano immediately comforted Nagano Yoshimasa.

Nagano then walked alone to a small hillside not far away, and when he looked down from above, the battlefield was littered with corpses and the wails of wounded soldiers. Nagano Ye was very unhappy after seeing it, and he estimated that his casualties would definitely not be less than two thousand. And the Takeda Army was mainly routed by itself, not annihilated. In the future, I will definitely have to fight a vicious and bitter battle with the Takeda family again.

Just as Nagano was reminiscing about the past and thinking about the future, a ninja in black clothes and black pants was hiding in the grass and aiming at Nagano with an iron cannon.

"Not good! There are assassins! Protect Shinanoden! After inadvertently glancing at Nagano Yezheng, he spotted the ninja hiding in the grass.

Da Hu Xiugang still found out too late. With a single gunshot, Nagano fell in response. And when the ninja was evacuated, he was surrounded by the Nagano family, and was finally killed by the big Hu Xiuzuna.

Since Nagano was assassinated, the Nagano Army quickly ended its work of cleaning up the battlefield. A large number of corpses were thrown at Oda Ihara, and the armor on the corpses was not removed. The 2,000 Takeda troops who were captured were unlucky, and they were all slaughtered by the angry Nagano army.

In this way, the Nagano army, which had less than 4,000 left, retreated to Ueno. At this moment, Asada, who was in the Jofa Temple, also learned the news that Nagano was attacked, and he immediately led 6,000 troops to meet the Nagano army at the Ueno border to return.

At the same time, Generals Honjo Shigenaga, Soga Yushige and Omori Fujiyori led an army of 6,000 into Nishiueno. It is also stationed in Kandakan, in the northern part of Joho-ji Temple.

Due to his advanced age and injuries, Nagano was unable to return to his home city of Minowa Castle, and was subsequently sent to Hirai Castle for treatment.

"Nagano Shinano Mamoru, you must hold on!" Asadaki sat on the edge of Nagano Yemasa's sickbed, holding Nagano Yemasa's hand tightly and said.

"The town government ······ Although the old man did not kill Takeda's stable······ But more than 5,000 Takeda troops were killed······ There are no regrets in this life. Nagano Yemasa paused and then said, "Inuko Yesheng followed the town government before······ Now he is already the lord of a city, but Zhengxuan and Ye Chao are still young······ The old man was a little worried. ”

"Shinano Mamoru please rest assured, I'll keep them by my side as a small surname." Chao Ding nodded and said.

Then the old man was relieved······ Jiye ······ The old man is here to accompany you······" Nagano Ye stopped talking as he spoke, and even his eyes slowly closed.

"Mamoru Shinano!" Chao Ding roared after watching the 'Shangshu Yellow Spot' Nagano Ye pass away. And Kohata Keitasa and the retainers of the Nagano family wept inside and outside the house.

Asadachi then immediately sent someone to inform Nagano Yesei, Kenshin, and the Nagano family of the news of Nagano's death. However, Chao Ding did not realize that his move had buried a hidden danger.

The first to learn of the death of Nagano Yoshimasa were the three brothers Nagano Yotsumitsu, Nagano Yesuki, and Nagano Katsuye, who were left behind in Minowa Castle. The three of them were not sad but happy when they learned of Nagano's death.
