109 Burning Kasuga Mountain

After containing the defeated and wounded soldiers of the Takanashi family, the Takeda family did not immediately attack Kasugayama Castle, but instead set fire to the castle town.

Houses in Japan have always been made of wood, so the names of various countries have placed great emphasis on fire prevention, and in some places have even enacted ordinances that severely punish arsonists.

There is such a large castle town under Kasugayama Castle, I don't know how long it will burn?

The fire burned under the castle of Kasuga Mountain Castle for two days and two nights.

During this period, the Takeda family's army swept a range of tens of miles east of Kasuga Yama Castle and sent troops to take control of Naoetsu.

After the fire burned out, the ashigaru of the Takeda family stepped through the ruins and attacked Kasugayama Castle.

The first formation, the Racecourse Letterhouse.

Known as the "immortal Oni Mino", Baba Nobubo is the second man in the Takeda family to have the nickname of "Oni Mino" after Kai veteran Hara Torayin.

Baba Nobu's original surname is Jiaolaishi, and since serving Takeda Harunobu, because of his successive meritorious achievements, Takeda Harunobu let him inherit the famous Baba family.

In fact, there is another name for the Racecourse Nobu, which is more widely known and more powerful.

Nobuharu Bababa!

Because of Brother Xinchun, so Baba Nobuharu has never had an injury record since he came out of the battle, as the head of the four ministers of Takeda in the future, Baba Nobuharu is both civil and military, and he is good at civil war and foreign war, whether it is fighting, fighting or fighting grass valley.

"Click!"

Nobuharu waved down, and these ashigaru people brought out from Fukashi Castle automatically dispersed in formation and leaned towards the city wall.

The first thing to do when attacking a dangerous place like Kasuga Mountain Castle is not to storm hard, but to test the strength of the defenders.

Looking at Ashigaru fighting on the front line, Nobuharu Baba breathed a sigh of relief...... If it weren't for the fact that Nagao Jinghu abandoned his kingdom and retainers and ran away, then how could he have a chance to attack Kasuga Mountain Castle?

The ashigaru in the front row approached the castle wall first, and because of the scattered formation, they did not lose too many men in the process of running, and when they reached the castle wall, the ashigaru men immediately put a simple long ladder up the castle wall - something that the Takeda army had worked hard to prepare during the two days of the fire.

On the Honmaru castle tower of Kasuga Mountain Castle, Nagao Masaki stands on a high place, looking down on the entire battlefield.

"The enemy forces are three times our strength...... But it's only three times as much. ”

Nagao Masaki smiled and stretched out his hand to point to the mountains to the west.

"I'm more worried about that direction than the threat of the Takeda family. …… Even if I can defeat Takeda Shingen, I am afraid that in the end, I will inevitably be expelled, because ...... The lord of Echigo is actually a woman! ”

Zhengjing said, slapping the railing hard, he was very unwilling.

All along, he coveted the position of Echigo's guardian. His clan brother Nagao Qingjing was not a big deal, and he wanted to replace him, but he killed a Ji military general Nagao Jinghu halfway, completely crushing his plan.

Years passed, and Nagao Keitora had been sitting in the position of Echigo's guardian for a few years, and just when he was about to give up, God gave him hope again.

The long-tailed Jinghu abandoned his retainers and the country to run, and his opportunity came.

Just after he took control of Kasuga Mountain Castle, Okuma Ashide, Honjo Shiranaga successively rebelled, and Takeda Harunobu also led troops to invade the territory...... But he wasn't afraid.

He was confident that he would resist the invasion of the Takeda family, and he was confident that he would put down the rebellion of Okuma Asahide and Honjo Shigencho.

As long as he is given enough time, he will definitely be able to regain control of Echigo and turn Echigo into a powerful domain.

However, God did not give him time.

Because the long-tailed Jinghu is back...... That natural god of war is back.

"Unwilling......"

Nagao Masaki frowned, gritted his teeth, and his handsome face looked a little hideous.

Behind him, Usami Dingman sighed and said earnestly:

"Please put aside these troubles...... It is foreseeable that if we inflict a heavy blow on the Takeda Army in Kasugayama Castle and achieve unprecedented prestige, then even the return of Nagao Keitora will not be able to shake the status of the adults. ”

Speaking of this, Usami Joman tapped it under his feet with the scabbard.

"The position guarded by Echigo, along with this Kasuga mountain castle, was abandoned by Nagao Keitor...... Therefore, as long as we have the support of most of the Echigo people, she will not make any waves. ”

"Yes...... Nagao Masaki smiled wryly, "but I always have a bad premonition." ”

"The old man has a good premonition."

Usami said with a smile.

"Alright! I'll listen to Usami-sama, and together we will get the whole of Echigo! ”

Nagao Masaki withdrew his hand, clenched it into a fist and waved it twice.

Under the Castle...... After the initial probing of the Takeda Army, Nobuharu Baba made a detailed report to Takeda Harunobu on the defense and virtual reality of the outer outline.

The results of the debriefing were...... Takeda Harunobu decisively ordered the whole army, and each unit took turns to launch a fierce attack!

In the words of Nobuharu Baba, the will to fight of the Echigo army was not as strong as in the past, and their fighting spirit was even inferior to the fighting spirit of the Murakami army in Toshishi.

In this regard, Nobuharu speculated that in the case of the loss of the military god Nagao Jinghu, the ordinary soldiers of Echigo also lost their fighting spirit.

"Where is the Long-Tailed Jinghu army in the west?"

"I have advanced another five miles, and it is now only 20 miles away from Fudo Mountain City."

"Really...... It seems that she is planning to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight? ”

Clearly touching the beard on his lips, he muttered to himself, he couldn't figure out why Longtail Jinghu was stagnant.

The reason is that after Nagao Jinghu came out of Fudo Mountain Castle, he advanced ten miles in the direction of Kasuga Mountain Castle on the first day, and on the second day, he advanced ten miles in the direction of Kasuga Mountain Castle. At that time, the fire in Kasuga Yamashiro Castle Town had not yet burned out.

On the third day, Nagao Jinghu led the army back five miles.

On the fourth day, that is, today, Nagao Jinghu led the army to advance for five miles.

She was walking around like this, obviously not planning to come to Kasuga Mountain Castle, but what was her motive for doing so?

The long-tail Jinghu in Takeda's impression is by no means a woman who can sit and watch the fire burning under the castle of Kasugayama Castle and be indifferent.

Long-tailed Jinghu ...... What exactly are you going to do?

"Long-tailed Jinghu...... What exactly are you going to do? ”

Dakuma Chaoxiu sat in his own Guanlin City, holding a letter from Naoe Jingzuna and muttering to himself.

He raised troops because of his anger at Nagao Keihu's outing, hoping to persuade her with his "rebellion", but what he didn't expect was that Nagao Masaki, who controlled Kasuga Mountain Castle for the first time, called on the wealthy clan of Echigo to attack him together!

After defending the city for several days, he almost exhausted the fighting power of Dakuma Ashide's men, and just when he was about to give up, Nagao Masakai suddenly sent an envoy to negotiate peace with him.

It was only then that Okuma Asahide knew that the Takeda family had invaded Echigo...... He was getting more and more anxious.

If Nagao Keihu doesn't come back, then Echigo must be a hellish sight.

At this time, an envoy from Yoban City entered Tatebayashi City.

This messenger was nearly half a hundred years old, his head was half bald, his hair was still not gray, and although he was a little older, he was still in good spirits, giving people a feeling of trustworthiness.

Naoe Jinggang stared at the contemplative Big Bear Chaoxiu, and stopped talking several times, and finally couldn't help asking:

"That's what the lord means, what does Lord Bear think?"
