Chapter 536: Treachery (2nd Update)
At the same time that the Date family was struggling to send troops.
At this moment, the Hojo clan who lives in Odawara Castle, he naturally did not put all the chances of rescuing Uesugi Keihu on the unreliable ally of the Date family.
The Hojo clan ordered his son, the Hojo clan, to lead the Musashi army of 10,000 horses across the Kinu River.
When the Hojo clan entered the entrance of Echigo and Ueno, they encountered stubborn resistance from the generals who supported Kamijo Keikatsu, the lord of Ishino Castle, the governor of Ishino (Nitta Hashige), and his younger brother Ishino Nobumune.
After a day of fierce fighting between the two armies, the Hojo clan broke the resistance of the Gokono family and entered Echigo.
Later, the Hojo clan also mobilized a large army in Odawara and prepared to go into battle in person.
At present, the Hojo family is the largest name in the Kanto region, and its total mobilization power is even more than that of the Mori family, which is close to the Oda family.
This action naturally surprised the Kanto region, such as the rest of the minor daimyo Spo, Soma, Kasai, Osaki, and even the Hagasaki family in Hokkaido, who also sent documents to express their submission to the Hojo family.
It can be seen that the Hojo family is in Kanto at the moment, and it is as powerful as the sky.
Now the banner of the Hojo family is pointing straight to Echigo.
However, compared to Hojo, which is far away from Echigo, the Takeda family is undoubtedly one step faster.
In the sixth year of Tensho, April.
Echigo, relatives don't know sons.
On this day, there was a strong wind and huge waves rolling on the sea.
Invisible rapids surged at the bottom of the sea, and half-man-high waves stood up and slammed into the reef on the shore.
The huge waves crashed against the pitch-black reef, and suddenly the body was cut into a cloud of powder, and the slash hit.
The sea breeze blows the sun and moon and the two-striped flags, cooing.
The main force of the Hida Echichu Army, in such bad weather, crossed through the relatives and did not know the children, and entered Echigo.
On this only passage from Vietaka to Echigo, the soldiers of the Takeda Army. They all pressed their bodies tightly against the rock wall, moving slowly, for fear that from time to time a monstrous wave would open and directly sweep people into the bottom of the sea and the bones would be gone.
As for the general Li Xiao, this is not the first time he has crossed the crusade against the queen.
In the sixth battle of Kawanakajima between Takeda Katsuyori and Uesugi Kenshin, the main family attacked Echigo in three ways.
He also attacked Echigo as a partial army, and killed the famous general of the Uesugi family, Naoe Keitsuna. After exterminating the Xuanyuan people, the last striker arrived at the foot of the Kasuga Mountain Castle before retreating.
And this time, Li Xiao didn't know his son when he re-entered his parents, but he already felt that time had changed.
In this important border land in the past, the relatives who were not able to open the door did not know the son, Li Xiaoqian saw the military and the ninjas, but there were only more than 20 people, so they took this place.
The army marched all the way unimpeded.
The striker of Li Xiao's department passed through Shengshan City all the way. Genzhi Castle, Fudo Mountain Castle. unimpeded, and no one came forward to question.
As soon as the banner of Li Xiao's army was lit, several cities were just closed with their gates, and they watched the Takeda army leave.
Of course, this may also be related to the greeting made by Jingsheng before, so these cities did not show a hostile posture.
But he didn't even ask a question, which is too lazy.
Seeing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but sigh. Since the death of Uesugi Kenshin, the consequences of the more have really been untouched, even if Kamishi Jingsheng finally won the Uesugi family governor. Since this time the vitality has been damaged, it has recovered its strength, and it is far from reproducing the situation of the Uesugi family when Uesugi Kenshin was there.
As for the Kanto Governor, under the current strength of the Furukawa Princess, and the Hojo family, no one will take this false position seriously.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao shook his head and looked at the scene of the huge waves on the sea, and now the Shangshan family seemed to be crumbling here.
So Li Xiaoyan said: "The envoy obeyed the order, and sent the order to the striker, Ariyama Huding, let him attack and advance to the bottom of the spring mountain city, if there is any obstruction, regardless of the strength of the army, he will attack him." ”…,
"Oh!"
After receiving the order loudly, he immediately retreated.
"Kasuga Mountain Castle."
At this moment, Li Xiao couldn't help muttering to himself.
This time to attack Echigo, Li Xiao went out to prepare for the snake tail, the flag to prepare, the tiger to prepare, the sun and the moon to prepare the four standing stands, the women of the god to protect the long constitution, and the people of the country to be able to ascend the Wenjing Jinglong department, forming an army of 10,000 people to enter Echigo.
Because Li Xiao's army came out together.
Yokotani's ninja in Mino reported to Li Xiaoyu that there was something unusual in Gifu Castle.
Originally from the recapture of Higashi Mino and the infiltration of Shinano through Kiso Yoshimasa's rebellion, the Oda family has always had the intention of completely expelling the Takeda forces from Mino, so they have always had the intention to get rid of Kajida Castle, the sword hanging over their heads.
Upon hearing the news, Li Xiao immediately ordered Li Zheng, Uchijima Shiri, and Baba Masabo to be stationed in Hida Sakura Cave Castle together.
The Oda family dared to attack Kajida Castle, where Shimakatsu was sitting, and Hachiman Castle in the gun, and General Li Zheng led the Hida people south to support.
The four-way army is fighting on many fronts, and now the Hida Yuezhong Army is a five-fingered situation.
Of course, compared to Li Xiao's Hida Echichu Army, Takeda Nobuyoshi's main army of the Takeda family, under the situation of driving straight into Echigo, on the contrary, in Sanada Masayuki of Ueno Province, when he heard that the Hojo family's army had entered Echigo, he stopped entering Echigo.
On the contrary, according to the tacit agreement reached by Takeda Nobushihiro and Kamishi Keikatsu before, he worked hard to annex and digest the Uesugi family's territory in Ueno Province.
Kasuga Mountain Castle.
Uesugi Ken @ Masa, the imperial hall where Uesugi Keitora is located.
At this moment, a raging fire broke out on all sides of the Imperial Pavilion.
Since Kamisaki Jingsheng issued an order from Kasuga Mountain Castle, he gathered nearly 10,000 troops and attacked them after nearly a month.
This Kanto consulate is already crumbling, and there are hundreds of soldiers in the city, and there are already casualties, even so, the side of the shirt Jingsheng is also casualties.
At this moment, Uesugi Ken @ Politics in the Imperial Pavilion, and Uesugi Jinghu have already shown a look of decadence and despair.
Although some ninjas secretly entered the city to spread the message, claiming that the Hojo clan had mobilized the Hojo, Takeda, and Date armies to aid Echigo at the same time.
But the fierce battle has been fought so far, and the reinforcements have not been seen for a long time, but the museum has long been out of ammunition and food.
In this way, Uesugi Jinghu felt that his martial arts luck was coming to an end, and he deeply regretted why he had listened to the words of the old man Uesugi Ken @ Zheng in the first place, and had to stay in the palace to resist. If you don't flee to Mutsu, it's not too late to mobilize the army and make a comeback.
How can Kami-shirt Keikatsu still be able to keep Echigo under the strong attack of the three daimyos of Hojo, Takeda, and Date.
But at this point, it's too late to regret it.
It is different from the desperation of Uesugi Keihu at the moment.
Standing outside the Imperial Palace, Kamikatsu Jingsheng, who commanded the army to attack the city on the high platform, did not dare to slack off in the slightest, he knew that the Hojo family had begun to fully mobilize. Prepare to attack Echigo.
Although he secretly reached a tacit agreement with Takeda and Date, in order to calm down the territory as soon as possible and stabilize his position as the governor, he must kill Uesugi Keitora as soon as possible.
In this way, he can be regarded as truly mastering the Uesugi family.
However, although Kamishi Keikatsu had already used his whole body to attack the city, there were always Uesugi Nobuyi on the side, Sukawa Moricho, and Kurokawa Kiyomi leading the army to interfere with his siege.
After several battles, the palace is about to be breached. As a result, he was attacked by the forces of these three people, which led to failure.
Otherwise, it will be a lonely museum. How could an army of less than a thousand people resist for a month.
Now that the resistance of the Imperial Pavilion is minimal, Kamishi Jingsheng saw his younger brother Uesugi Jinghu, and he personally raised his sword to go to the city to fight.
The main generals have all landed in the city, and it can be seen that the city is not far away.
Just when Shangshan Jingsheng thought that he was going to capture the palace again, at this time, the conch on the hillside on the left whined. …,
On the hillside, the army of Uesugi Nobuyo and the three of them killed again, and came to the back of the army of Kamishikeikatsu, who was besieging the city.
See this scenario. Jingsheng couldn't help but be so angry that his facial lines were distorted.
At that moment, Jingsheng picked up the horsewhip and waved it heavily, and said: "Don't attack the city, mobilize all the armies." Let's cut off the heads of these three rebellious people first. ”
Hearing that Kamishi Jingsheng was like this, Naoe Kanesui on the side hurriedly said: "Lord, don't act rashly, if you withdraw the siege, how about letting Uesugi Jinghu escape from the Imperial Palace, for now, you only need to send troops to block the attack as usual, and you can maintain the situation." ”
Kazukatsu is not a person who loses his sanity because of anger, but when he heard Naoe Kasuke's outspokenness, he still nodded and decided to be good.
However, after Kamisaki Keikatsu sent troops to intercept, he didn't expect that this time, Uesugi Nobuyo and the three of them did not continue the original tactics of one blow and leave, but instead plunged headlong into Kamishikatsu's encirclement of the Imperial Pavilion, as if they wanted to enter the hall to join Uesugi Keihu.
How could such a situation happen, and at that moment, the color minister was adjusted, and the two generals of Yamayoshi Jingchang went to block it.
And the three of Uesugi Nobuyo were also ruthless, and they fought to the death.
If it weren't for the fact that the palace had reached the point of running out of ammunition and food at this time, and it was impossible to go out of the city to respond, otherwise the encirclement of the city would probably be broken.
Seeing this scene, Jingsheng also gritted his teeth and said: "When I become the governor of the family in the future, I will definitely skin these three people." ”
At this moment, a monomi hurriedly came to report to Shangyi Jingsheng, and said: "Report to the lord, Takeda Chaoyue led the main force of the Takeda Army, and it is about to arrive in the city. ”
When he heard this, he said happily: "What, the reinforcements from the Takeda family have arrived, very good, let them attack quickly, I want to take the palace within today." ”
"Send someone to tell the Nest Moon Gong, after I become the governor of the Uesugi family, I will not forget the kindness of the Takeda family."
Although he said this, the jealousy of Takeda in his heart was deeply buried.
If the Takeda family didn't need the conditions, and they came to the aid of the Uesugi family, Kamishi Jingsheng would naturally not be like this.
But Takeda Nobushihiro's previous lion opened his mouth, and this kind of behavior of robbery into fire took Shinano and Ueno from him, so how did he endure this breath.
Therefore, Kamishi Jingkatsu decided that he would serve as the family governor, and when the situation stabilized, he would inevitably recover everything he had lost from the Takeda family.
But at this time, it is still necessary to deal with Takeda Shin and the snake.
After a while, Kazumi saw that the main lineup of the Takeda Army had appeared.
On the slopes of the mountains and on the plains, the military strength of the Takeda Army was like a huge carpet, covering the entire mountain, forest and plain.
From afar, the mountains are full of fiery red Takeda Ling banners, endless forests of spears, and galloping horse legions.
The Takeda family's soldiers are truly awe-inspiring.
The soldiers of the Uesugi Army near Kamishikatsu, when they saw Takeda Ling, their first reaction was to reach out for a knife, and when they reacted, they knew that the Takeda Army was no longer an enemy.
At this moment, everyone looked at the army of the Takeda family with complicated expressions.
In the past, he fought six times in the middle of the river, and fought three bloody battles with Li Xiao in Vietnam.
The Uesugi family and the Takeda family can be described as a blood feud.
And this time, the Takeda family was on their side.
For the arrival of the Takeda Army, Jingsheng naturally sent someone to greet him.
Naoe Kanesu, who was wearing a helmet of love characters, came to the Takeda Army's main camp with more than a dozen followers, and directly met with the leaders of the Takeda Army, Takeda Nobuyoshi and Takeda Nobuyo.
As soon as Naoe Kanesui saw the person with a bare head and wearing monk's clothes, he knew that the other party was the real ruler of the Takeda family, Takeda Shinshishi.
At that moment, Naoe continued to bow his head and said: "At the mouth of the lower barrel and the sixth, thank you for the lord, Chaoyue Gong, Xinlian Gong this time out of the battle of Echigo." ”…,
After speaking, the three attendants stepped forward with a bag of gold dust in their hands.
Seeing this, Takeda Nobuyhiro glanced at the general Saneda Moritomo.
I saw Sanzhi Shouyou pull out the knife and stab it directly into the bag, and the yellow gold dust is like rice, pouring out of the bag.
Seeing this, Naoe couldn't help but be angry and said: "Chaoyue Gong, what does this mean, the lord is a person who keeps his promises, is he still deceitful at this moment?" ”
Takeda Nobuhiro smiled slightly and said, "I'm sorry for the barrel, Your Excellency is indeed the one who keeps his promise, but the one who doesn't keep his promise is our Takeda family." ”
When Naoe Kanesuke heard this, he suddenly felt that he understood something, and at this time, he only heard a pop, and the Tai Knife in the hand of the three branches of Shouyu pierced into Naoe's back, and then protruded from his chest.
"You dare to be treacherous!" A large mouthful of blood spurted out of Naoe's mouth.
And with the changes, the samurai of the Takeda family in this formation also drew their swords and took advantage of the other party's unpreparedness to kill more than ten samurai on the side of the Uesugi family.
Blood-smeared, Naoe Kanesuke and the samurai of the Uesugi family all lay on the ground in a dead state.
And the gold dust continues to fall, but no one looks at it at the moment.
At this time, Takeda Nobuyoshi pulled out his sword from the side, compared it to the main formation of the Uesugi army on the opposite side, and shouted: "Pass the order, all the troops will go out of the battle, and along the way, whether it is Uesugi Jinghu or the forces of Kamishan Jingsheng, they will all be killed, and no one will be left." ”
"Oh!"
After Takeda Nobuyoshi's words fell, all the troops agreed.
As the 20,000-strong army of the Takeda family began to be launched, they slaughtered the Kamishi Keikatsu and Uesugi Keiho troops who were fighting on the opposite side.
Looking at this scene, Takeda Nobuyhiro looked indifferent, and said as if to himself: "Echigo is already my Takeda family." ”
At the same time, while Takeda Nobuyoshi led a large army to sweep through the remnants of Kamisaki Keikatsu and Uesugi Keitora, Li Xiao's Hida Echichu Army had already begun to attack Kasuga Mountain Castle.
ps: The second watch, finally completed the dream of being a man twice a day.
