The Takeda Army and the Uesugi Army fought fiercely all night.

Towards early morning, the Takeda army retreated into the castle for fear of being counterattacked by the Uesugi army by Dayahi.

Kinoshita Hidenaga and Takenaka Shigeji watched the battle at the Wanglu to check the results of last night's night attack on the Uesugi army.

Last night's battle seemed to be fierce, and each other's attacks were more bluffing, and the Takeda army had been unable to overcome the defense line of the Echigo army after setting fire to several camps of the Echigo army, so the casualties of each other were only about 100 people.

On the tower, Kinoshita Hidecho looked at the complete camp of the Uesugi army, solemnly defended, and said to Shigeharu Takenaka: "Lord Takenaka, without the long-planned ambush and night attack plan of Xiangdao, there is still no help against the Uesugi army. ”

Shigeharu Takenaka smiled indifferently and said, "Kinoshita-sama, on the contrary, I don't have as much expectations as you. And the night battle can defeat the Uesugi army by a small margin, I think it is enough. The other party is humble and trustworthy! ”

Kinoshita Hidecho nodded and said, "Last night's battle was enough to deplete the sharp energy of the Uesugi army, and today they will definitely not be able to attack the city, and it will definitely be beneficial to us to consume it for a long time." This was the case for the rest of the day, and when the Uesugi army attacked the city during the day, we attacked at night, and a few days were enough to exhaust the Uesugi army. ”

Shigeharu Takenaka smiled and said, "To Qian Xingong, if he attacks at night again, he will underestimate the other party, and he will be on guard tonight." Last night's battle has made the Uesugi army dare not underestimate the resilience of our army, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, this side is the consciousness that the defenders of the city should have. ”

"The Uesugi Army has withdrawn!"

While Takechu was chatting with Kinoshita, he suddenly reported the sudden news to them.

Kinoshita Hidecho looked at the Uesugi army under the castle in a posture of retreating, and couldn't help but ask Shigeharu Takenaka suspiciously: "Lord Takenaka, could it be that the Uesugi army is cheating." ”

Shigeharu Takenaka thought for a while, shook the folding fan lightly, and said, "That's not the case, the Uesugi army may really be retreating. ”

Not long after, the Uesugi army retreated, and the siege of Matsukura Castle was lifted.

The defenders of the city did not understand what was happening, why the Uesugi army, which was attacking the city with great momentum yesterday, actually withdrew today, and last night's battle was not the result of demoralizing the Uesugi army.

Looking at the turret, Shigeharu Takenaka immediately said: "Immediately send someone to Tenjin Mountain Castle, Uozu Castle to investigate whether it has been lost, and immediately report the retreat of the Uesugi army." ”

The first year of Tensho, September.

The lead clouds in the sky are dense, and the sea waves in Qiwei Bay are lined up.

Noden Shichio Castle.

It's the rumbling of cannons!

Li Xiao held the military equipment in his hand and sat in the middle of the formation.

On the left and right sides are the heads of the local wealthy families, and now they are all sitting under Li Xiao with a pair of helmets and armor.

These Nengden Hao clans were silent and held their breath.

"Wronged! Treat unjustly! ”

A series of long shouts came from beyond the curtain.

Before he could finish speaking, a samurai with loose hair was escorted into the curtain, his body dressed in red and still stained with blood.

This samurai was known to all the Noto clans present, and the other party was Kuroya Sanhoji, the lord of Kurotaki Castle.

At the moment, Sanbao Temple Kuya looked unconvinced, and was pressed down by two tall and strong warriors of the Takeda family, causing him to kneel in front of Li Xiao.

Jiumi, who knelt down in the Sanbao Temple, rolled his eyes and looked at Li Xiao, his eyes were full of anger, and he said loudly: "But Lord Ma Shou, what is my crime? ”

Sanbaoji Kuya immediately looked at the people of Noto who were present, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in order to attack the Seven Tails Castle, my Sanbaoji family rushed from Zhuzhou County, this siege battle in recent months, the family fought for the Takeda family to sacrifice their lives and forget their lives, only the samurai killed six people, more than 20 people in Ashigaru, and the younger brother was also lost in the battle. ”…,

"And Lord Danma Shou has been arrested so far, why? Could it be that there are not enough people who have died in the battle for the Takeda family of my Sanbaoji family, and they are not working hard enough to attack Nanao Castle? ”

Sanbaoji Jiuya has always been aggrieved, and when he ascended, he received the sympathy of most of the people present.

"But Lord Ma Shou, can you be lenient?"

"Sanbaoji Echizen, but he can recruit generals who are used to fighting."

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed and glared at Sanbao Temple Jiuya, and the other party also glared back at Li Xiao unceremoniously.

Li Xiao wanted to eradicate the heart of Sanbao Temple for a long time, and the other party also knew it.

The Sanbao Temple family was originally the first retainer of the You Zuo family, but it was quite an independent family, and now taking advantage of the great chaos of Noto, he sent troops to seize a lot of territory, including several mineral deposits, and then took the initiative to ask Li Xiao to block it.

For Li Xiao, the existence of the Sanbaosi family thinned his control over Nengden, and he would not tolerate such a family existence under his nose.

Therefore, before, Li Xiao had the idea of killing people with a knife, and in the strategy of Qiwei City, let the Sanbao Temple family stand in front, while consuming its power, while preparing to find a reason for the disadvantage of the battle, beheading him in front of the battle, and then accepting the Sanbao Temple family.

However, Sanbaoji Jiumi is also a human spirit, he saw Li Xiao's idea of killing people with a knife, so he worked extremely hard every time he fought, and even did not hesitate to let his own brother die in front of the battle, so as to block Li Xiao's attack on him.

So at the moment, Sanbao Temple Jiumi was escorted to the main formation by Li Xiao, and he was even more afraid of making trouble, deliberately making things bigger, and secretly sent someone to inform the people of Nengdengguo, so that they could come to the formation together and exert interference pressure on Li Xiao.

Now that Sanbao Temple has seen so many people supporting him, he doesn't believe that Li Xiao dares to kill him here in front of so many people for the crime of neglecting military orders.

The people who can ascend to the country like this will also be disappointed by Li Xiao's retrograde behavior.

Sanbao Temple Jiumi xiangdao here, secretly sneered, looked at Li Xiao, and had an expression full of what you can do.

Li Xiaowei smiled and said, "Sanbao Temple Echizen, you didn't know the crime if you violated the military law." ”

Sanbao Temple Jiumi's eyes were red, and he glared straight at Li Xiao, and said: "But Lord Ma Shou, if you are too brave to kill the enemy, it is also a crime to die in battle, then your subordinates have nothing to say." ”

Li Xiao stood up and said, "I originally wanted to keep the name of your Sanbao Temple family and your reputation for bravery, so I couldn't bear to say it, but at this point, hmph, Your Excellency is still asking knowingly, then I also said truthfully, have you been secretly supplying military rations to the Chang Lian of Seven Tails City for several months in this siege." ”

At this moment, Sanbao Temple was long gone, and his whole body was like an electric shock.

And the people present also looked at the Sanbao Temple Kuya in disbelief, not believing that he would do such a thing.

"Sanbaoji Echizen, you have nothing to say."

Li Xiao showed a somewhat mocking smile on his face, and after speaking, he ordered someone to take out a letter from the Three Treasure Temple Jiumi and Chang Suan.

According to the letter, Chang Xulian was besieged for many months and had insufficient military rations, so he secretly purchased military rations from Sanbao Temple Kuya at ten times higher than the market price to relieve the lack of food in the city.

And the Sanbao Temple is greedy for its profits, and it is really secretly corresponding, and there are two people's seals painted on this letter, which is obviously conclusive evidence.

All the people present confirmed the long-term continuation of the Sanbao Temple.

Sanbaoji Jiumi looked at Li Xiao, and his face suddenly showed a look of resentment, staring at Li Xiao deadly.

In fact, Sanbao Temple's internal access to Qiwei City is a non-existent thing, and even selling military rations, he has never done it at all, it was completely fabricated by Li Xiao.

He expected in every possible way that there was no xiangdao Li Xiao would come up with such a poisonous plan, and killing people with a knife was just a pretense, but it was really a false accusation. …,

And that letter was forged, and the seal of Sanbao Temple Jiumi himself, he exchanged many letters with Li Xiao, and it was not impossible for him to be forged by the other party.

Xiangdao here, Sanbao Temple Jiumi sneered again and again, and said: "But Lord Ma Shou, in order to embezzle my Sanbao Temple family, he actually came out of this as a means, I ......"

Seeing that the other party was out of shape, Li Xiao looked like crazy, and immediately ordered his subordinates to block the other party's mouth and nose with mud and sand, and then ordered someone to press it down.

Li Xiao temporarily detained the other party, and sent people to Black Castle to destroy the Three Treasures Temple.

And after a few days, he killed the Sanbao Temple Kuya.

As for the division of interests, Li Xiao took out all the territory of several wealthy families that Jiumi of Sanbao Temple had embezzled this time, and returned all of them to them, as for the big head, he naturally laughed at it himself.

Under the reward and punishment, Li Xiao dealt with the Sanbao Temple for a long time, and the people who could ascend to the country were convinced, and there was no opposition at the moment.

At the moment, Li Xiao was reassigned to attack Qiwei City, and all the wealthy clans were ordered, and with the experience of Sanbao Temple Jiumi, all the wealthy clans did not dare to slack off.

At this time, the news of the withdrawal of the Oda and Uesugi armies also spread to the ears of the people of Noto, and the stability of Li Xiao's foundation in Yuezhong made these wealthy families have even greater confidence in the Takeda family for a while.

After months of exhaustion from the siege of the city, the heads of each family took out their own family funds and attacked the Seven Tails City at the cost of their lives, even if there were losses, they could earn greater benefits for their families in Li Xiao's move to redivide the interests of Noto.

Although it was one of the five largest mountain castles in Japan, Nanao Castle was well defended, and was guarded by 6,000 Hatakeyama troops.

Months of confrontation have consumed most of the Hatakeyama army's food stockpiles, and the city is now obviously short of military food, and even Hatakeyama Yoshikei, the head of the Hatakeyama family, does not have enough to eat every day.

In addition, the news of the withdrawal of the Oda Uesugi army has also quietly spread in Nanao Castle, although Nagasuke has killed more than ten ashigaru in a row on the charge of walking rumors, Danshi's approach of wanting to cover up has actually made Nanao Castle's morale depressed to the extreme.

Now, under the fierce offensive of the Noto Hao clan and the cover of the Takeda army's large barrel bombardment, the defenses of Nanao Castle began to crumble.

On September 28, after a day of fierce fighting, Waimaru finally fell.

Several famous generals of the Hatakeyama Army were killed in battle, and the company commander Xulian himself was also hit in the right arm by an iron cannon while supervising the battle, so the wound became infected.

Now that the Hatakeyama army has retreated to Sanmaru, with countless wounded soldiers, many people starting to get sick, and the epidemic also spreading in the city, in desperation, several Hatakeyama retainers risk being killed, and once again ask Nagajiren to surrender to the Takeda army in order to save a way out.
