The Saito Army, who was guarding these two places, also quickly noticed that their comrades in other places were tired to death. Why did I play so easily on my side, there were several times, and there was even a vacuum.

Soon someone reported the situation to Mitsutoru Saito and Takashi Hojo, who didn't understand it too well, but Mitsutoru Saito reacted immediately.

[Lord Hojo, you go to guard the east gate, I go to the south gate, don't make any mistakes!] 】

"Uh, okay. 】

The lords also slowly noticed that the situation had changed somewhat, and it seemed that there were not many enemies at the east and south gates, and once the city was broken, it would be possible to 。。。。。。

In their hearts, they also began to fight Xiao Jiujiu, and their original firm heart to defend the city gradually changed.

In order to prevent the people from escaping in battle, he planned to let himself and the Hojo clan Takalai guard the two relatively empty gates, however, what he didn't know was that this fell into Sanada Masayuki's trap again.

As soon as he saw these two adults appear at the head of the castle, the Oda army immediately shouted:

[Saito Castle Lord escapes! ] Hojo-sama escapes! 】

[Both adults have run away! It's stupid that you're still stupidly guarding the city! 】

。。。。。。

With such a shout, not only the citizens of the city were stunned, but even the soldiers who were fighting were startled, and then they were furious, daring to love us for fighting here to the death, you two are ready to run, so what are we doing here?

As a result, Mitsutoru Saito and Takashi Hojo had to spend a lot of effort to explain, and finally settled everyone's mood.

However, after such a toss, the sequelae were exposed: the stable military spirit began to waver!

Next, the Oda army intensified its offensive, and the army swept through the bowl like thunder.

In the face of more than 3,000 people bravely attacking the city, many soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were terrified and trembled all over, if it was morning, in the absence of a way out, this fear would be transformed into anger and determination to participate in the battle, but now it is different, knowing that there is still a chance to escape, everyone muttered in their hearts, since there is a chance to escape, why is it necessary to fight to the death here? .

Moments later, in the face of the enemy's powerful attack, a few less courageous people fled from the battle and rushed out of the south gate, but the Oda army did not seem to see it, and did not stop them at all, nor did they pursue, allowing them to disappear from sight.

Now the inside of the city is like an explosion, it turns out that it is so easy to escape, so what are you guarding? Run!

There are one and there are two, showing one or two, and then three or five in groups, and even some sergeants joined the queue to escape, and as many soldiers and civilians cowered and retreated to the two southeast gates, the Saito military inspectors could not stop them, and what was even more ridiculous was that in the end, even they themselves fled one after another, leaving everyone stunned.

The fighting will of the soldiers of the Saito defenders at the head of the castle collapsed in an instant, and they rushed for their lives in panic and fled in all directions.

Just when the defenders at the head of the city had no intention of defending the city, the Yamaji Zhengguo Department took the lead in breaking through the city gate, swarming in, and fighting into the city with high morale.

When Yamaji Masakoku led his army to break through the city, Ximen was also attacked by the Ueno people, and waited for the generals to lead the army into the city.

In desperation, Saito and Hojo had to get on their horses and flee to Musashi in a hurry.

At this point, the border between Ueno and Musashi, the largest castle, was finally broken by nearly 5,000 shogunate troops on the morning of the sixth day, and the battle of the Kamirugawa River ended, except for Kanewa Castle and Pheasant Castle, more than two-thirds of the Saito family's territory fell into the hands of the shogunate, and the gate of the shogunate's attack on Musashi was already open in front of Akechi Kogoro.

That night, Wise Kogoro led an army of 10,000 to Bowlata, because considering that there would be follow-up troops to converge, the Bowl-shaped Castle, which is not large, may not be able to accommodate tens of thousands of people, Wise Ogoro wanted to camp outside the city, but in the middle of the night, it snowed again, and everyone had to go into the city to avoid the snow, and the entire Bowl-shaped Castle, as well as the two strongholds of Kamirugawa Bridge and Kawai Castle, were brightly lit in the snowy night.

Wise Kogoro praised the vanguard team, including Sakuma, Sentaka, and Ueno, and especially praised the crowd for letting Saito Mitsutoru and Hojo Takashi go. Immediately, he arranged for an envoy to bring the Hojo [Third-Order Scale] captured in the battle to support the flag, and when the snow stopped, he went to Kanawa Castle and questioned the Hojo family.

The Kamirugawa River has been recaptured, however, this is only a sentinel battle, and a bigger storm has just been born.

。。。。。。

Hojo Taka knelt on the tatami mat and didn't dare to say a word in frustration. And the Hojo clan had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

Since the Hojo clan returned to Hitachi to prepare for the Hojo family's next [Northern Expedition], the Hojo clan has taken on the task of defending Musashi and monitoring Ueno, and when he heard the news that the Oda family attacked the Kamirugawa, he was not surprised, his own side of the people swaggered to occupy the land of Ueno, Oda Nobunaga if he didn't say a word, it would really be a ghost.

However, when he heard the news of the fall of the bowl city in one day on the march, he was still furious, and in front of all the soldiers, he threw his horsewhip to the ground fiercely, and cursed in his mouth:

[MD! Bowl-shaped Castle is the main castle in the end, and the defense facilities are perfect, and I told Hikotaro (Hojo Clantaka) that although the Bowl-shaped Castle has few soldiers, the people are loyal to the Saito family, which is the best combat power, and with the help of these three or four thousand lords, it is definitely not a problem to survive two or three days。。。。。。 He didn't hold on for a day! MD! Young people nowadays are really useless! 】

A considerable part of the Musashi Legion is drawn from the five-color preparation, with extremely strong combat effectiveness and high mobility, and the Hojo clan originally planned to take two days to rush directly from Musashi Okabe Castle to the Bowl Castle, so it doesn't matter if someone is accused of invading the territory, anyway, Lao Tzu is occupied in the Bowl Castle and doesn't leave, if you have the ability, you can beat me?

Although this practice is scoundrel, it is easy to use, and countless people have used it in ancient and modern times, anyway, your money is in my hands, no matter how you scold, I just won't pay it back, anyway, I'm not afraid of tearing my face!

On the night of the second day after the destruction of the bowl-shaped castle, the Hojo clan rushed to Kanawa Castle with an unkind face, and as soon as he entered the castle, he was in the second-floor castle tower and scolded the Hojo clan.

[Hikotaro, you let me say what you are good about! ] Even if the defenders of the city were pigs, they would not keep this virtue。。。。。。 The enemy deliberately sells a flaw to shake your army's morale, and you don't know what to do?! Bah! Have you grown all this brain into a dog?! At this time, you just need to fight more bravely, and even get beaten all over your body, everyone will be encouraged, Hojo-sama is working so hard, what reason do we have not to work hard, but what about you, there is no way at all, you say, is there any difference between you and the stupid donkey kept in the stable。。。。。。 】

Hojo was silent, like a wax statue.

After more than half an hour, the Hojo clan finally finished venting all their anger and said:

[Hikotaro, since your grandfather passed away, the Lord Regent and the Lord have been eager to cultivate and promote you, so unconsciously, we have continued to expect too much from you, in fact, you are still too young to 。。。。。。 】

[Lord Anbo, don't say it, I'm such a waste, I'm sorry for the cultivation of Lord Regent and the lord, and I'm even more sorry for my grandfather, as well as my father and uncle, their reputation has ruined me alone, I should die! I'm useless! 】

Hearing the name of his grandfather mentioned by the Hojo clan, the Hojo clan had a sour nose, and his father Hojo Shin and his uncle Hojo Nagashun died in battle together in Kambara, and it was his grandfather who raised him and had a very good relationship.

He picked up his slap and slapped his face twice with his left and right bows, the sound was extremely crisp, and the Hojo clan was stunned for a moment, and immediately grabbed his hand that was about to hit him for the third time. Seeing the bloodshot oozing from the corner of Hojo's mouth, knowing that this kid had just used ten percent of his strength and hit him extremely hard, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and then there was a burst of relief, this kid was indeed remorseful, and said:

[Alas! Don't be like this, young people who don't make some mistakes know that they can correct it next time. 】

[Lord Anbo, please forgive me for my incompetence this time, I will definitely do something next time, and I will not embarrass Lord Regent and the lord, as well as my grandfather and father!] 】

【Good!】 This is like the descendants of my Hojo family! It's great that you have this ambition! I also believe that you will become a pillar of the Hojo family in the future! Go ahead, go wash your mouth first, and I'll talk to you later!" 】

【Hi Yi!! 】

The Hojo clan is quite gratified, but then a little melancholy, the Hojo clan is already considered to be the younger generation of the family is more self-motivated, and now many later people are becoming more and more enterprising, comfortable and conservative, they are still intoxicated with the ancestors of the country, making a dream of [eternal country], the future of the Hojo family depends on these people? That's really。。。。。。

Early the next morning, the envoy of the Oda family, Hara Hikojiro, came.

[What do you mean, what do you mean? 】

The Hojo clan asked with a smile on his face, and Hara Hikojiro presented a banner with the family crest of the Hojo family's [third-order scales] on it. And in the face of the intentional inquiry of the Hojo clan, Hara Hikojiro also smiled and replied:

[The bowl-shaped castle lord Saito Sama Suke Mitsu intends to rebel, I wonder if Hojo Yasubo Mamoru knows? ] 】

The Hojo clan pretended to be surprised.

[Huh?! Samasuke Saito-sama rebelled? No, it's really appalling that a loyal elder like him would rebel, I think, isn't it for some morally corrupt people who are working hard to force each other, Lord Zuo Majie will never put up a flag of rebellion, Lord Yuan, what do you think? 】
