June 2, 2nd year of Yonglu.

Namba Tian Kenji led 8,000 Kamishu soldiers and 2,000 troops from his headquarters to Tsukui-gun, and that night the 6,000 troops of Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, and Asahina Nobuyo were converging, and they were known as 30,000 troops.

And the Ise clan in Odawara Castle was frightened when he heard that Namba Tian Kenji and others led an army of 30,000 to enter the touch. Because today's Odawara Ise family simply does not have the strength to compete with the Asada. Takeda Shingen felt that the Ise clan was like a piece of chicken ribs, tasteless to eat, and it was a pity to abandon it.

Even so, Takeda Shingen symbolically sent 2,000 troops of the Takeda Shin Lian Department to stand by at the foot of Ashgara Mountain. In this way, you don't have to tear your face with Asada, and you don't have to worry about breaking your alliance with the Odawara Ise family.

When the Ise clan learned that the Takeda Nobu-ryo had arrived at the foot of Mt. Ashigara, he thought that the Takeda family would definitely send more reinforcements, and immediately took command and led 2,000 troops to set up a headquarters at Okazaki Castle west of the Xiangma River.

When Namba Kenji learned that the Ise clan had led his army out of the city, he quickly led his army south. He led 8,000 troops of Kamishu and 2,000 troops of his headquarters to Kamakura, while three generals, Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, and Asahina Nobuki, led 6,000 troops to cross the river from the middle of the Soma River.

Namba Kenji planned to flank the Ise army on both sides in order to achieve the goal of total annihilation. If conditions permit, the Ise clan can also be taken from it.

"My lord! Big things are wrong! The Uesugi army is crossing the river! "Just when the Ise clan was still holding a military council, Soma Genmonsai immediately appeared in Okazaki Castle's Honmaru Daihiroma.

"How many times have you said it? The debriefing walks in from the main entrance! "Ise didn't care about the news that Okabe Motonobu and the others crossed the river, but about the details of whether the ninja came in through the main entrance.

"The situation is urgent, my lord!" Soma Genmonsai wasn't ready to re-enter the Great Hiroma.

"Isn't the Uesugi Army in Kamakura? There is no river crossing at all! Are you dazzled? Ise said impatiently.

"My lord, the Uesugi army has been divided into two routes, and the Uesugi army is crossing the Xiangtu River from the middle reach!" Soma Genmonsai's news finally made the Ise clan sober up a bit.

"My lord, my family has reinforcements from the Takeda family, why be afraid?" Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru glared at Soma Genmonsai and said.

"Izumi Mamoru do you have any opinions?" Ise Masa immediately came to his senses, and he was looking forward to Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru giving him a satisfactory answer.

"Immediately send someone to inform the Takeda Stable Hall in Suruga that the relationship between Ise and Takeda is cold at the moment, and if Ise is finished, then the Takeda family will lose its barrier. Suruga is not in danger. Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru said with a smile.

"Well, our army will hold Okazaki Castle first. I will return to Odawara Castle with part of my army first, and the garrison of Okazaki Castle will be handed over to Izumi. As soon as the Ise clan heard the reason, he immediately planned to return to Odawara Castle with some of his men.

"The garrison of Okazaki Castle will be handed over to his subordinates." Udagawa and Izumi swore solemnly.

"Hmmm! Please! Ise nodded with satisfaction, and then left two hundred troops to Udagawa and Izumimori, while he led most of his men and horses to quickly retreat towards Odawara Castle. And when the Ise clan and the retainers left Ohiroma, they didn't have the slightest idea of the smile on the faces of Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru.

Just after the Ise clan Masashun returned to Odawara Castle smoothly, the ninja Soma Genmonsai he least wanted to see appeared in front of him again.

"My lord, Okazaki Castle has been captured by the Uesugi Army!" Soma Genmonsai didn't notice Ise Masasa's face that turned from sunny to cloudy.

"Nonsense! It's only been less than a day since I led my army back to Odawara Castle, how could Okazaki Castle be captured by the Uesugi army so quickly?! Ise Clan Masa apparently didn't believe the news.

"Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru have surrendered to the Uesugi army in Kaejo! And at this moment, he is serving as the lead of the Uesugi army, and the Anazawa department has also joined the army of Nambada's attendants, and the Uesugi army has reached an army of 20,000! Soma Genmengsai told the bad news.

"What?! How could this be! After hearing this, the Ise clan was a little unstable. Obviously, Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru had sworn to him before, and if he could hold Okazaki Castle, why did he return to Odawara Castle on the front foot, and he surrendered on the back foot?

"Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru should be the inner response of the Uesugi family, and the Udagawa family was previously a genealogy retainer of the Uesugi family in Ogiya, and I am afraid that many of the only remaining retainers in the family are related to the Uesugi family." Soma Genmengsai said after sighing.

"That's it." The Ise clan's political face was like ashes, and he slowly walked into Honmaru. He then deployed troops to prepare to defend Odawara Castle, as for the retainers who deliberately fell to the Usugi family, the Ise clan could only turn a blind eye, he was completely incapable of cleaning them up at the moment, and if he didn't get it, he would be counterattacked.

With the bloodless capture of Okazaki Castle by the Uesugi army, under the leadership of Udagawa and Izumi Mamoru, the Uesugi army successively captured Imaizumi Castle, Hatano Castle, Matsuda Castle, Soga Castle, Tako, Fuchu Castle, Oshikiri Castle, and Dojoyama Castle in just five days, and Odawara Castle was isolated in this way. Just after Namba Tian Kenji had completed the task assigned to him by the court, he made an astonishing move - to lead a large army to Odawara Castle.

Namba Kenji thinks that Odawara Castle has become an isolated city, and since this is the case, it is better to take it now, so that it will take time to capture it later. And Okabe Motonobu, Asahina Taichao, Asahina Shinji, Anazawa Toshimitsu and others did not object, and they also wanted to take this opportunity to make a contribution.

In this way, on June 9, Namba Tian Kenji led 17,000 troops to Odawara Castle. In order to prevent the Takeda army from coming to the rescue of the Odawara Ise family, Namba Tian Kenji still divided 3,000 troops to garrison the branch castle that had been captured. Iwahara Castle, a branch city to the north of Odawara Castle, was garrisoned by a thousand troops led by Namba Tanji's retainer Enjoji Danmasa; The ancient city of Duogu was garrisoned by Toshimitsu Anazawa with a thousand troops led by Shiro Guard; Yusaka Castle was garrisoned by Asahina Mototomo, a thousand troops led by Asahina Taichao.

At this moment, people in Odawara Castle are already panicking. Although the Ise clan gathered 5,000 defenders in a short period of time, the composition of the defenders was still mainly old, weak, sick and disabled, and only a handful of young and strong were strong. Harawatsuki, the retainers of the Ota family, Kasuga Ieyoshi and Miyaki Shiro Guard, who had promised to dedicate the castle as the Uesugi army when the Uesugi army attacked, finally arrived. On the one hand, Kasuga Ieyoshi and Miyaki Shiro Bei applied to the Ise clan to serve as the Ninomaru Shogun after discussion, and on the other hand, they sent their cronies out of the castle to contact Namba Tanoda Kenji.

Ise Masashi still felt that he could not relax his vigilance against Odawara Castle, so he sent Shosuke Kaneyama, Genshiro Ishikawa, Yamakaku Uemon, Ueno Sunzaemon, Nakamura Gonshiro and others to serve as the guards of Sannomaru, Ninomaru, Higashinomaru, and Nishinomaru respectively. And Kasuga Ieyoshi and Miyaki Shiro Guard, who took the initiative to serve as the defender of Ninomaru, were arranged by the Ise clan to serve as the deputy general of Ninomaru to assist Ishikawa Genshiro.

The Ise clan originally thought that Namba Tian Kenji was at most an order of the court to attack Sagami and seize a few branch cities, but who knew that Namba Tian Kenji actually changed his mind and made the appearance of 'not subject to foreign military orders'. Although the Ise clan was extremely frightened, he even thought that the Isei family had reached the point of life and death. However, the Ise clan still forced his composure, and said to his retainers: "We have the blessing of the heroic spirit of the Ruiden of the Sakumo Sect, and we have a key garrison, and all the Kanto warriors under our command can be ten." In the past, Koshu Harunobu and North Vietnam Zhenghu all returned under the Odawara Castle, and now they will go to a high position with the sacrifice of gold, disrespecting the gods and arrogance, the army has traveled a long distance, and the ordnance and grain of the family are abundant, and the cage city is more than enough for five to ten years. ”

Ise's 'exciting' words did not have much effect, and the retainers were dumbfounded. Many retainers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, so they could only retreat silently. Many people know that the Ise clan politics at this moment is completely pretending to be confused. The Ogiya Uesugi family under the command of the Asadaki is not what it used to be, and it was once pressed and beaten, but now the Odawara Ise family is being pressed and beaten. Even if the Satake family of Hitaku Nokio can fight again, it won't be the Seven Counties of the Halberd Immortal Road? Previously, no one in Odawara Castle knew the fate of Date Harumune, Satake Yoshiaki, Mogami Yoshimitsu and others, and the Ise clan was still ready to continue to resist with Odawara Castle as the center.
