Chapter 273: Sword Saint under Minowa Castle

8th year of Yonglu, May.

The world's heroes are poised to rise.

In Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin is fighting against the Takeda family's siege network;

Tokugawa Ieyasu of Mikawa secretly plotted the land of Suruga;

The Sagami Lion Hojo is like a calm chess player, watching the changes in the Kanto region and waiting for the opportunity;

Kai Takeda Shingen was full of ambition and vowed to plant the flag on Kyoto;

Owari Oda Nobunaga's eagle-like gaze is locking on Inabayama Castle;

However, a major event happened in Gyeonggi.

Known as a sword general, Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the thirteenth general of the Muromachi shogunate, was attacked by the Miyoshi and three people at the Nijo Imperial Palace, and finally died.

At the time of Ashikaga Yoshiteru's last period, facing the siege of the Miyoshi Army in the Nijo Imperial Palace, Ashikaga Yoshiteru inscribed the poem on his wife's sleeve and wrote: May drizzle and dew are still in love, and send my name Cuckoo Wing. Soar into the sky.

In the face of the influx of enemy soldiers, Ashikaga Yoshiteru pulled out all the famous swords in his collection and stuck them on the ground, and when the enemy soldiers rushed closer, he drew a knife to meet the battle.

Ashikaga Yoshiteru's swordsmanship was passed down by Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and Tsukahara Bu, and he learned the secret technique of Katori Shinto-ryu Ichinototo, and fought for more than an hour when he fought with the enemy.

Ashikaga Yoshiki is like a sword god, the sword is blunt and immediately replaced with a new one, the majesty is unstoppable, and he has killed countless people, but he is not hurt at all.

In the end, Matsunaga Hide, the 'worst in the world', saw that Ashikaga Yoshiki was so brave, and ordered Yoshiki to be wounded by iron cannon shots, and ordered someone to push down the door panel and press him down.

With the death of Ashikaga Yoshiteru, the authority of the central shogunate was completely reduced since the Onin Rebellion.

According to the saying of troubled times, it has reached the point where the shogunate has lost its deer and the whole world has chased it.

At this time, both Gyeonggi and the world will set their sights on and Kanto, and see which heroic man can stand out after Imagawa Yoshimoto and lead the army to Luokuang to help the world.

In August of the eighth year of Eiroku, the Takeda family, who had just quelled the rebellion of the heir to the throne, Yoshinobu, took the lead.

Takeda Shingen, the Tiger of Kai, mobilized the Koshin army to climb over the Pheasant Pass and erected the banner of the Wind Forest Volcano on the land of Nishi-Ueno.

The main force of the Takeda Army joined the forces of Takeda Katsuyori, the general of Nishi-Ueno, and the strength reached 20,000

Immediately, Takeda Shingen ordered Takeda Katsuyori to visit the people, and the Ueno people were the pioneers, and they first attacked Minowa Castle, the vice city of Takarujo.

Both Tagaryu Castle and Minowa Castle were built on Mt. Haruna, and they share the same outer wall, making it a steep fortified castle.

The first and second formations of Takeda Katsuyori's army were 2,000 troops from Nishi-Ueno's general Kohata Kenshige and one of the four ministers, Naito Masato, who arrived at Takaru Castle.

The lord of Yingliu City is Nagano Yetong, and there is also Nagano Yegu, who fought with Li Xiao under the rock city, and the defenders of the city are only 500 people.

In the face of the Takeda army pressed by the army outside the city, Nagano Yetong and Nagano Yegu reported with a broken heart and led 500 men and horses to attack the Takeda army formation.

The elite of the Takeda Army, Kohata Akabei, was caught off guard and was repelled hundreds of meters, and many samurai were unable to avoid it, falling into the Torikawa Rapids and drowning.

Later, Naito Masatyo and Takeda Katsuyori led their troops to arrive and surround the Nagano Army, and Takaru Castle also fell.

Nagano Yetsu, Nagano Yegu and other Nagano generals all fought to the death.

Takaliu Castle was lost, and Minowa Castle was even more isolated.

In September, Takeda Katsuyori joined the Akabei army of Shokei in Yamaguchiyama Prefecture and launched an offensive against Minowa Castle.

When Takaru Castle was captured, Nagano Yoshimori, the head of the Nagano family, heard that Uesugi Kenshin's Echigo reinforcements had arrived at Stablebridge Castle, but he had to hinder the west bank due to the swelling of the Tone River.

The nineteen-year-old head of the Nagano family, Nagano Yesei, held the idea of death, led the team to kill, and went straight to the Takeda army of Wakatawara. …,

The next day, Takeda Shingen's main force arrived at the castle of Minowa, and 20,000 Takeda troops surrounded the castle, and Takeda Ling's banner covered the sky.

After that, the Takeda Army divided into several routes and launched a general attack on Minowa Castle.

The Nagano family knew that their survival was at this moment, so they resisted bravely, and the city was equipped with a large number of iron cannons, inflicting heavy casualties on the Takeda army.

And the head of the Nagano family, Nagano Yoshimori, also revealed his father's 'Uesu yellow spot', and led the cavalry to break into the Takeda army formation several times to strangle, and even approached Takeda Katsuyori's main formation for a time.

However, the Takeda military was outnumbered, and the Nagano family gradually showed its inadequacy.

Later in the battle, the Takeda army invaded Minowa Castle, and Takeda Katsuyori's general, Okuma Ashide, wielded a long sword and was unstoppable, leading an assault with the intention of taking Honmaru directly.

When Daxiong Chaoxiu was halfway through, he met the Sword Saint, the world's No. 1 Kamiizumi Hidetsuna.

Ueizumi Hidetsuna waved the sword in his hand, killing the Takeda army with a river of blood, and with the power of one person, blocked the army of the Great Bear Ashide.

Under the battle between Daxiong Chaoxiu and Kamiizumi Hidetsuna, his subordinates were killed and wounded, and almost only survived with many serious injuries, but it also became the name of 'one ride' with Kamiizumi Hidegang.

However, Umiizumi Hidetsuna's strength alone did not save the Nagano family.

Nagano Yosmori led his army to fight, broke into the Takeda army for the last time, and returned several times in a row.

When he returned to Honmaru, he was wounded, and Minowa Castle had been breached in many places, and the Nagano family was gone.

In the end, Nagano committed suicide by seppuku in the Buddha Hall in the Gozen Wheel on the north side of the Honmaru, facing the position card of his father Nagano Yoshimasa.

After that, all the Lang party was martyred.

Minowa Castle, the last base of Nishi-Ueno, was captured by the Takeda family, and the Nagano family was destroyed.

Seeing that Honmaru was in flames, Hidetsuna Kamiizumi knew that the main family had been destroyed, and immediately with grief and indignation, he waved the sword in his hand and killed himself into the Takeda army.

The Takeda army was unstoppable, and was killed by Umiizumi Hidetsuna alone.

After the war, Takeda Shingen recruited Hidetsuna Kamiizumi as his subordinate.

And Kamiizumi Hidetsuna first agreed to be a retainer of Shingen's family, and then resigned to Shingen on the grounds of promoting his new Yin current swordsmanship.

Takeda Shingen fulfilled Ueizumi Hidetsuna's wish, but ordered him to swear not to go out into the family of daimyo other than the Takeda family.

After Hidetsuna Ueizumi agreed, Shingen Takeda gave the letter in his name, and Hidetsuna Takeizumi officially changed his name to Hidetsuna Ueizumi.

So far, Nobutsuna Kamiizumi and his disciple Fumigoro have wandered the world.

However, the story of Nobutsuna Kamiizumi is not the end.

In the eighth year of Yonglu, in October, the city of Yuezhong was born.

Two uninvited guests came to the city, it was Hidetsuna Kamiizumi and his disciple Fumigoro Bungoro.

Shangquan Xingang came to Chengshengcheng to perform with Li Xiao, and invited the three-year covenant of the year.

Compared with three years ago, Li Xiao's identity is different from the past, and he has become a famous-level retainer, so Kamiizumi Hidetsuna specially changed the place of the decisive battle from Minowa Castle to Chengsheng Castle.

Umiizumi Hidetsuna is the late general Ashikaga Yoshiki's personal promise of the sword saint, the first in the world, and the other person is the chief general of the Takeda family, a master of spearmanship, a fierce general who can fight in Uesugi Kenshin, and has the identity of a Ming countryman, which suddenly attracted the sideways of the world's martial arts.

Countless swordsmen and ronins flocked to Chengsheng City, some wanted to see the grand occasion of this duel, and some were worried that Li Xiao might be unfavorable to Shangquan Xiugang here, so they came to help.

There are even many people speculating whether Li Xiao won this competition by virtue of his geographical advantages, relying on poison or some tricks, or even ambushing the dead.

This point of view also means that most people are not optimistic about Li Xiao.

Of course, some people think that in the past ten years, there will be a hero, the position of the sword saint should be dominated by the latecomer, Li Xiao is young and strong, and he should have the strength to fight.

In any case, this duel has been rumored to be rumored, and countless people with hearts have set their sights on this ......,
