Just when the two sides were fighting each other in Shingu and Shiokawa, a large-scale battle had already begun to break out in the territory actually controlled by the Ashina family.

This news is the best news for Chaoding, and there is no one. And for the Ashina Sheng clan, it was a bolt from the blue, and there were peasant soldiers fleeing every day in their own army, not to mention that there was no reserve army to suppress it!

In order to be able to crush the camel of the Ashina Mori clan, Asadachi decided to hand over the work of this 'straw' to the Kakizaki Keijia.

Early morning of July 1, 1544. Wind direction: No wind.

At the end of June, the Ashina Mori clan formed three of the troops under his command into a three-stage reserve, and the rest of the troops were still stationed in Joshita Town, Ninomaru and other places.

The first formation of the Ashina army was the pen head of the seventeen people of the Shimogundai, Jimbo Kubei. Jimbo Kubei was well aware of his duties as the first formation, and did his best to defend and personally inspect the position.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The time has come to follow me Kakizaki and Izumi Shoukei's family to make a contribution! After waving the gun in his hand, Kakizaki Keijia took the lead in breaking into the first formation of the Jimbo Nine Guards with five hundred samurai on horseback.

"Don't panic! Matsumoto Katsuzo detours from the left! Fukumori takes a detour from the right side! Jimbo Kubei calmly commanded the army, because there were 1,000 Ashina troops in the first formation, and he knew that there were still the second and third formations behind.

Nagasaka Zhoufang of the third formation saw that the army of Kakizaki Keijia was no less than 2,000, and after taking the initiative to move the strength of his third formation forward by a distance, the 303 guns of the third formation joined the chaotic battle.

Still relying on his bravery and calmness, Kakizaki Keijia decisively led the samurai on horseback to take the lead in breaking through from the right side of the Ashina army, and then joined his own ashigaru team and broke through from the right side of the Ashina army again. This time, Saito Asanobu's army also moved.

"Humph! It seems that Izumi Mamoru can't get any bargain with his 'one ride'! After Saito Asanobu tightened the reins of the horse, "Everyone show Izumi Mamoru who is the 'first talent in Echigo', our Saito family's army is powerful!" ”

"Oh!" The ashigaru men of Saito Asanobu immediately followed behind Saito Asanobu's horse. Jiu Yaoba's flag fingers moved slowly. Saito Asanobu's ten spear warriors led a hundred Mikenashigaru to take the lead, and first attracted the attention of the three spearashigaru of the Nagasaka Zhou Defense Department on the left side of the Ashina army.

Subsequently, the two hundred ashigaru of the Niwa Jinhei Division of the second formation had no choice but to join the battle in order to prevent the first formation of the Jimbo Kubei from being defeated.

"My lord, as soon as the 3,000 troops of Izumi Shou and Shimono Shou go up, there will be very little reserve strength left of our army." Ota Zizheng is a little worried, although he knows that the Ashina family is not peaceful, but the flag of the Ashina Army and the standing ashigaru are not good! It was these people and the retainers who benefited from the "German Decree"!

"The cavalry and the flowing horses of our family have not moved yet, and our army still has thousands of troops to invest, and Lord Zhu Miao is already the internal response of the family, and he also has a thousand troops." Guidie doesn't think it's wrong to invest in the two teams of Kakizaki Keijia and Saito Asanobu now, but it can still put a lot of pressure on the Ashina family!

"Indeed, the chances of our family winning are still very good." Asadaki was on the second floor of the castle tower of Shinmiyagi Honmaru and carefully looked at the Nagao Army and the Ashina Army who were fighting.

"My lord, this battle must be resolved quickly. The Dewa country and the Date family are eyeing each other, and they will not let the family take the entire territory of Aizu. "Miyagi Masaye felt that it was better to slowly eat away from the Ashina family in World War I.

"Ota Shimasa, Namba Kenji, the two of you will take the four hundred cavalry of the Kawagoe Knights to defeat the Ashina army that is blocking in front of Izumi Mamoru and Shimono Mamoru, and the three armies will meet and advance together!" Chaoding found that the Ashina army was now a little unable to hold on, and the follow-up formation was a little loose.

"Yes."

Subsequently, with the opening of the gates of Shinmiyagi, under the leadership of Ota Shimasa and Namba Tian Kenji, 400 light armored cavalrymen were armed with guns, and the white robes on their bodies were very conspicuous. Although they all added the flag of the Uesugi family before the war, it did not affect it in the slightest.

"Oh! The cavalry of the repair doctor has arrived! "When the Kakizaki Keizai family had just cut off the head of Matsumoto Katsuzo, they saw the Uesugi cavalry galloping on horseback!

"Crush the enemy!" Ota Shimasa and Namba Kenji split the army in two and rushed towards the place where there were many Ashina soldiers! Soon, Fukumori was taken by a samurai named Kumikenmoto of the Knights.

The cavalry of the Kawagoe Knights didn't care what kind of spear formation the Ashina army laid out, because even the war horses were protected by armor, and the spear head of the spear was not iron. While leading his cronies to war, Jimbo Kubei was stabbed to death by Kenji Namba with a gun.

Soon, the first and third formations of the Ashina family were completely defeated. The second formation was also routed by the armies of Kakizaki Keike and Saito Asanobu, and Niwa Jinpei was also chased and killed by Saito Asanobu on the way to escape.

The ensuing battle was completely one-sided. The Ashina Army, which was originally small in number, was chased and beaten by the Uesugi and Nagao coalition forces. A considerable number of ashigaru and peasant soldiers fled the battlefield.

"What?! One, two, three, and three formations were all defeated! That's a whole fifteen hundred troops! How can it be said that a rout is a rout?! "The Ashina Mori clan didn't trust the envoy's report at all, and he didn't know it was true until he saw it in the castle tower on the second floor of Honmaru. When the Uesugi army came up, 3,000 troops were invested, and the subsequent 400 cavalry took advantage of the emptiness behind the three formations to break in, and all three formations were defeated!

"Report! Inosaoshiro-sama attacked and killed the spear general Shigebei-sama Kashikawa at Huiri Temple! And raised troops at Huiri Temple to respond to the Uesugi army! "Another envoy hurriedly came to report the bad news.

"In this way, our army will suffer from the enemy!" The young assistant of the Hirata military department is also completely blinded, and it turns out that the pig seedling generation Shengguo who guards the key area will also defect!

"Lord, in this case, the army that this family can use now is only three thousand three hundred horsemen!" Captain Matsumoto Genbei paused, "Let's withdraw our troops, and Yama-gun can only be handed over to Uesugi Asada!" ”

"No! I've spent so much time trying to expand the territory of the Ashina family, and I can't throw it all away overnight! The River Marsh County has been lost, and the Yama County can't be lost! "Ashina Mori still thinks that he can still fight with the Uesugi army.

"My lord, the Shiokawa Castle of the Minister's generation is the gateway to Kurokawa Castle!" Hirata Shosuke didn't want the Ashina Mori clan to leave, and if he left his castle, he would be completely visible in front of the Uesugi Army and the Nagao Army.

"The Lord of Fujiu City, the Nine Soldiers, has died in battle, so let's transfer it to Fujiu City." Ashina Mori thought about it carefully, the reason why the Uesugi army was able to defeat three formations of 1,500 troops so quickly was completely because there were too many troops, and it was better to give them Shiokawa Castle, so that the forces of the Uesugi army would be scattered.

"Father, withdraw the troops! This time, the Uesugi army entered Aizu with no less than 5,000 people back and forth, and now there is a pinch everywhere in the territory, so it is better to go back and suppress it before making plans. Although the Ashina clan was subdued, it was impossible for him to inherit the Ashina family's business, so he did not shy away from proposing to withdraw the troops.

"It must be a foreign aid invited by Date Harumune!" Ashina Mori's angry punch went into the tatami mat, but it didn't help, but he thought of the candidate for the palace army.

"Clan, as the palace army, you cover the withdrawal of your family's army." Ashina Mori pretended to think for a long time and said it.

"What?! Why don't you negotiate peace with the Uesugi family? I'm going to go to the temple army and still be able to return to Kurokawa Castle alive?! "The Ashina clan doesn't want their lives to be threatened, and the most important thing is to negotiate peace with the Uesugi family.

"Only your army doesn't have many losses! Your 600 troops are decided as the palace army! After Ashina Sheng finished speaking, he took the small surname and Qiben around him and left, and the retainers also got up and left.

"Don't blame me for that! I won't let anyone else get it if I can't get it! The Ashina clan instantly decided his future path, and he was not ready to live and die with the Ashina family.

Just after the Ashina Mori clan, Hirata Shosuke and others evacuated Shiokawa Castle, the Ashina clan threw down the three leading two flags at the head of the castle and opened the city gates. The Ashina clan himself then waited for the arrival of the Nagao Army outside the Otemon Gate, dressed in white.

"The guilty minister of the Ashina clan, please forgive the general of the Nagao family." As soon as the Ashina clan saw Saito Asanobu, he knelt on the side of the road.

"I'm only under the command of Uesugi Repair Doctor Asada, and the real general is Repair Doctor." After Saito Asanobu dismounted, he ordered someone to invite Asada.

After a while, Asada and the others arrived outside Shiogawa Castle from Shinmiyagi.

"Sinners see the Hall of the Repair Doctor." The Ashina clan said respectfully to the court.

"Lord Ashina doesn't need to be polite, it's not a good errand to hand over such a mess to Your Excellency." Chao Ding felt that it was not impossible for him to divide the Ashina family. Many people in the Ashina family are still very optimistic about this concubine.

"Yes! Not to mention that the criminal minister does not have the inheritance right of the Ashina family, all the tiring work is done by the criminal minister, and he has not been seen by the Ashina Mori family! The Ashina clan completely ignored that the Ashina Sheng clan was his father, and directly named his surname, completely without respect.

"Report! Lord Morikuni of the Inowashiro Dynasty took down Keiji Temple and Atami Castle! An envoy hurriedly brought in a piece of good news.

"My lord, in this way, the family will be able to fight against the Ashina Sheng clan! The goal of strategically supporting Date Harumune-sama has been achieved. Guidie felt that the road had to be taken step by step, and the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time.

"Well, let's all come to Honmaru." The court is going to gather everyone to Honmaru to divide the territory.

The bureau has been a little busy recently, and I would like to ask all book friends to bear with me
