The time has come to decide the fate of the more than 900 Hojo troops in Huaidao Castle, and there are only two choices in front of Hojo Yasumoto at this moment: first, abandon the city and break through; 2. Cage Castle is holding on to the ground and waiting for reinforcements from Odawara Castle.

Although the first plan seems reasonable to the more than 900 Hojo troops currently in the castle, in fact, their chances of survival are very low. Not to mention the fact that the Hojo Army had a record of several victories over the Uesugi Army in the field, it is impossible to compare the strength of the Castle Army, which was mostly composed of peasants, and the Anazawa Army, which consisted mainly of sailors (pirates), samurai, and standing ashigaru.

And although the second plan is a bit of a 'self-defeating' appearance, as long as Toshimitsu Anazawa does not want to attack the castle and make more achievements, then the Hojo army in the castle will all survive. In addition, they were able to avoid encountering the Uesugi army in the wild plains while holding on to the castle and waiting for reinforcements from the lord (although there were not many). After all, Huaidao Castle is a castle built by the sea, and it can also easily receive supplies from the sea.

After a short period of thought, Hojo Yasumoto made a decision - to defend Huaidao Castle to the death!

Although Hojo Yasumoto himself is not a famous general, he can't joke with the lives of the people under him. It doesn't matter if he dies on the battlefield, but for the sake of the Hojo clan, who can't handle the affairs of his family, the Jade Rope people can't be completely wiped out at this time.

Soon, Hojo Yasumoto will be glad that he didn't lead his troops out of the city. Because the goal of the Uesugi army is not on him at all. This time, the Uesugi family's Tokaido ancestors and the raid on Kamakura led by Toshimitsu Anazawa were all aimed at taking down the head of the Ashikaga Yoshishi clan under the protection of the Hojo family. Even if the head of Hojo Yasumoto took the initiative to give it to Asada, Asadaki would not necessarily accept it. After all, ten Hojo Yasumoto are not worth a single Ashikaga Yoshiji.

"My lord, Lord Ting of Otin City has arrived." After a while, the Niwa Saemon stationed at Oniwa Castle entered the Honmaru Ohiroma in Huaijima Castle to see Hojo Yasumoto. Prior to this, Toshimitsu Anazawa and the others didn't care if there were garrisons stationed in the city after they came to the vicinity of Huaidao City, so they went north directly. This Uesugi army did not make any stops on the way. Soon, they merged with Motonobu Okabe and others in Okazaki Castle.

"Hojo Jibu Hall, the Uesugi army from Kamakura has left. Even the next castle, which could be conquered in an instant, was not attacked. "Oniwa Saemon was very puzzled as to what caused the Uesugi army to leave the hinterland of the Tamama-Hojo family immediately.

"Half an hour ago, the lord of the mansion guarding Jade Rope City has already written the reason in the letter, you can take a look." Hojo Yasumoto threw a letter in front of Niwa Saemon.

"What?! Ashikaga Left Horse Head Hall was ······" After a brief glance, Oteyamamon muttered to himself in surprise. He couldn't believe that someone would beg the shogunate-appointed Kamakura Duke to death in broad daylight, and take the head of the Kamakura Duke and take him away.

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that the Uesugi army will not entangle with our army and leave the hinterland of the Tamatsu Hojo family directly." Hojo Yasumoto can be regarded as a stone in his heart that has landed.

"My lord, after the death of the Kamakura Princess, the Hojo family will lose their righteous name next! It is very likely that the Uesugi army will attack Sagami continuously, and then the burden of the Tamasho Hojo family will be heavy. Fukuhara Shigeyuki immediately got up and said to Yasumoto Hojo.

"Lord Ting, don't say this to me, you still say it to the lord of Odawara Castle." Hojo Yasumoto was also very helpless, thinking that he had escaped a catastrophe, but he didn't expect the Uesugi family to still find trouble with him.

Just when Hojo Yasumoto narrowly escaped, Yumitsu Numata on the Ueno side also began his first confrontation with Naito Masatoyo.

On June 10, Yumitsu Numata arrived at Nagano Hara Castle with more than 3,000 troops from his headquarters and samurai from the former family who were willing to serve him. And converging with Kiyoshi Tsunaga Igawa, Tsunagen Oishi, Keisan Kohata and others. Originally, there were 5,500 Uesugi troops on standby in the castle, and with the addition of 3,000 reinforcements from Numata Yumitsubu, the Uesugi army reached 8,500 people.

On the other hand, the 3,000 Uesugi army, led by Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki, Nishiritashi, Momoi Yoshitaka and others, went straight to the branch city of Rokuwakan in the northern part of Naganowara Castle.

The new lord of the Rokuwakan, Takayama Shigenari, could only gather more than two hundred in a hurry and defend the cage city, and he did not forget to send people to Hawei Castle to seek assistance from Naito Masatoyo.

On the afternoon of June 11, the envoy of Takayama Shigenari finally arrived at Hatao Castle and met Naito Masatyo after going through many difficulties and dangers. However, a day and a half has passed, and Naito himself is not sure whether the Rokuwakan has been lost.

"Lord Liang, the Liuhe Pavilion is in an emergency, and we should send reinforcements immediately." Urano Shigeji said bluntly to Naito Masatoyo.

"Urano-sama, your cousin Urano Shigenari-sama is now under the command of the Nagano family, and the head of the Nagano family is the ······." Tadahide Fukaya said in a weird way.

"Fukaya-sama, don't beat around the bush, my cousin doesn't need you to tell me. Repair Ryū-sama,If it's useful to get the place below, please let me go down and persuade my cousin to raise troops to respond to the Takeda family.。 Urano Shigeji is confident that he can convince Urano Shigenari Riche.

"Takayama-sama is in danger now, and his nephew Shigemasa has just been carried down to rest. Reinforcements must be sent! "Shirakura Munekatsu, who was sitting at the end, knew very well that if Takayama was rebuilt, then the entire Nishiueno Ancestors would immediately fall into passivity.

"Hakura Sabu Suke, if it weren't for the sake of Ling Zun receiving the ordnance, grain and grass at the Tashiro Pavilion, I would have wanted to lead the samurai to drag you out early in the morning. You have to remember who you are, you are not free enough to give your own opinion. Kobayashi Matsulin Zhai directly reprimanded Shirakura Munekatsu.

"Enough! Our army has a total of 5,000, but the Uesugi army has gathered nearly 12,000 troops around us, and if it weren't for the fact that Honjo Musashisuke Shigeru of Shirai Castle didn't have time to send troops, then it wouldn't be as simple as 12,000 Uesugi troops! Naito Masatoyo was a little speechless, he managed his skills well in Kai Province, but Takeda Shingen's order transferred him to Nishiueno, and let him serve as the banner leader of the Nishiueno ancestors. Forget it, the problem is that it is really difficult for Masathiro Naito, who wants no people and no territory, to grow himself here.

"Let's not say a word, the Uesugi army is about to enter the city, but we are still arguing here······" Honjo Jinchao couldn't help but sigh and said, he lost his territory because he had voted for the camp of the Ashikaga Fuji clan before, otherwise it would be very peaceful to surrender under the Uesugi family now, just like Nagano Yoshimasa, Kohata Keijun and others, only need to send troops.

"The total strength of our army is five thousand, and if we exclude two hundred in the Liuhe Pavilion, then there are still four thousand eight hundred people left. The situation is critical! Kamahara, like everyone else, didn't think there was any improvement in keeping the Rokuwakan.

"Lord Kamahara, I will lead you to lead thirty horsemen to check the situation of the Liuhe Pavilion, and today's military discussion will end here." Naito Masatoyo didn't plan to waste time here, he felt that it was better to stay here with a group of Chinese people who could only quarrel and quarrel here, and to enjoy the flowers and plants in the courtyard.

"Yes..." Kamaharaharu reluctantly responded. He knew he wouldn't speak.

Even if Kamaharau is not happy, he still has to complete this task. After all, Naito Masatsu is the banner leader, and he is still the force sent by Sanada Yutaka to Naito Masatyo. If Naito Masatoyo sued Takeda Shingen for not obeying the command and disobeying the order, then he would be the one who suffered.

In this way, Kamaharara Shigeharu immediately set off from Hawei Castle with thirty samurai on horseback under his command. However, at this moment, the Liuhe Pavilion is already in danger.

On the surface, the Liuhe Pavilion has a double curved wheel structure, but the entire city is built on flat ground, not a mountain city. Moreover, the walls of Ninomaru are the same as not, and even a pig can arch off the fence that surrounds the castle.

A day later, when Kamaharaharu and his troops rushed to Bentenzan in the northwest of the Rokuhekan, they found that the Rokuhekan had been surrounded by the Uesugi Legion, and the bamboo bird-patterned flags were fluttering everywhere in the castle and Ninomaru, and flames and black smoke were burning everywhere in the Honmaru.

"The Liuhe Pavilion is almost finished, and it won't take a day to fall into the city. Takayama-sama's nephew has broken through, and the Takayama family will not be cut off······" Kamaharaharu Shigeharu couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the desolate appearance of the Liuhe Pavilion.
