Finally got better......

"Report! Usami Joman's troops have entered Kasugayama Castle! ”

"Report! The long-tailed Jinghu has come out of Fudo Mountain City! ”

"Report! Our army's forward Takanashi Hideyori team has arrived at Kasuga Mountain Castle! ”

"Report! Our Imperial Rear Troops have been stationed at Biwa Island Castle and are asking for instructions on the next step! ”

…………

An endless stream of envoys rode fast horses back and forth through the ranks of the Takeda Army, and Takeda Harunobu rode on the back of the famous horse "Black Cloud", calmly coping.

He seized the opportunity of the long-tailed Jinghu to run away, and quickly gathered an army to invade Yuehou, and at this time he was only one step away from being completed.

Kasuga Mountain Castle, as long as the Kasuga Mountain Castle is captured, this time the battle will come to a successful end.

"Order Takanashi Hideyori to attack immediately!"

"The whole army is on the line and surround Kasuga Mountain!"

He had to hurry, as Nagao Keitora had already returned to Echigo—though he didn't know if that Nagao Keihu was a Shadow Warrior.

Takanashi Hideyori, who was in front, received an order from Harunobu Takeda, and with a lot of pain, he commanded his Ashigaru to attack the gates of Kasugayama Castle...... Kasugayama Castle is a flat mountain castle with castle walls on the hill and castle town on flat ground, and Takanashi Hideyori was forced by military orders to spend some time cleaning and inspecting the castle town.

After several years of reconstruction, the castle town of Kasuga Yama Castle has become extremely prosperous, and when the Takanashi army rushed from the main road, the town was unusually quiet.

"Did they all run away...... It's so fast......"

Takanashi Hideyori sighed, from the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to face the sword soldiers of the Nagao family.

"I hope you all can save your lives......"

Hidemasa Takanashi didn't notice anything from the unusual silence in the town, and he marched to the castle gate surrounded by Ashigaru, when all the troops of the Takanashi family entered the town...... Suddenly, a terrible conch sound sounded behind him.

"Masaka ......"

Hidemasa Takanashi's nerves suddenly tensed, could this conch sound be......

"Kill!"

Before the sound of the conch fell, countless Ashigaru families poured out of the town, and looking at the enemies emerging from all directions, Takanashi Hideyori only felt a chill down his spine......

No wonder it was so quiet before, it turned out that the Longtail Army had already arranged an ambush...... Xiuzheng understood everything in an instant.

"The people of the Takanashi family are all traitors, kill them all!"

On a section of the street not far away, Nagao Zhengjing raised his knife and shouted.

“…… Traitor. ”

A bitter smile squeezed out of the corners of Takanashi's mouth.

When Takeda Harunobu besieged Iiyama Castle, where was your Nagao family?

Xiulai thought desolately.

"Don't panic! Gang up! ”

Hidemasa Takanashi struggled to contain the troops, but he knew that he had already been defeated the moment the conch sounded.

At this moment, defeat is death.

…… Echigo, who has been defeated repeatedly, needs a victory to boost morale, but what he didn't expect was that he became a sacrifice for this victory.

"Rush!"

Hidemasa pulled out his sword and rushed in the direction of Nagao Masaki surrounded by the pro-guards.

Nagao Masaki looked at the young samurai who rushed over, and there was a hint of contempt in his eyes, and as soon as he stretched out his hand to his side, a guard immediately handed him his usual spear.

Estimating the distance and speed between Hideyori Takanashi and him, Nagao Masaki also slowly drove the war horse and increased his speed.

In an instant, both of them had distanced themselves from the ashigaru behind them.

The two horses are staggered, just a blink of an eye.

With a "dang bang", Takanashi Hideyori's sword fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and his hands covered a bloody hole in his throat, but the blood still kept pouring out from between his fingers, and the blood flowed into his trachea, making him unable to breathe, and even blood oozed from his mouth and nostrils......

The horse's speed gradually slowed down, and Takanashi Hideyori's young and handsome body gradually tilted, and finally fell from the horse, one of his feet hung by the stirrup, and let the war horse drag him for a few more miles.

"I can't help myself."

Nagao Masaki turned his horse's head and held a bloody spear in one hand, and although he was in the ashigaru of the Takanashi family, no one dared to raise a bamboo spear to stab him.

Half an hour later, the Nagao Army retreated into Kasuga Mountain Castle, leaving behind a bloody battlefield with all the corpses and wounded soldiers who could no longer fight.

"Hey-hey-

"Hey-hey-

The soldiers of the entire mountain castle cheered in unison, but Nagao Masaki frowned and worried.

There is another person who is also worried about him, that is Usami Dingmi, who is behind Nagao Masaki, and the old fox is holding a map of Kasuga Mountain Castle at the moment and studying it carefully.

…… He wanted to make sure that the mountain castle was not captured by the Takeda clan, whether it was for his ambitions or for the safety of his daughter.

At the same time, outside Nechi Castle, Nagao Keitora and Sasa Seimasa gathered all the horses in the castle again and began to travel south.

A total of 800 horsemen...... Including 300 samurai on horseback and 500 ashigaru who could ride horses.

Many people just managed to stay on horseback without falling, and it was almost harder for them to fight on horseback than it was to climb to the sky.

But the good thing is that there is still time.

With Murakami Inomaru, who was only ten years old and proficient in riding and the terrain of Kita-Shinano, as a guide, 800 horsemen followed the streets of Senkoku to kill the Kita-Shinano. "Kill them all! Burn it out! Grab the light! ”

The long-tailed Jinghu pointed to the south with a sword.

"Kill them all! Burn it out! Grab the light! ”

The soldiers responded with a shout.

"Let the of the Takeda family taste the power of our Echigo warriors! Rush with me! ”

Zuo Chengzheng took the lead and drove Qingxiao to run at the forefront of the team.

In the afternoon of the second day, the horseback team came to the vicinity of Kitashinano Fukashi Castle, and Nagao Keitora immediately ordered the team to stop and go into a small forest to rest for a while.

They had been on the road for a day, and if they attacked Fukashi City with their current physical strength, the probability of winning was very small.

"Echigo's warriors! I need a death squad to storm Fukashi City with me! ”

Sasa Narumasa did not have time to rest, so he immediately launched a mobilization among the horse riding team.

"Fukashi Castle! A city that is extremely important to the Takeda family, as long as we can break through it, the Takeda will be scared to the core!

"In the name of the lord, I promise you that after entering the city, you will slaughter the city for one day! The gold, the weapons, the women, all are yours! The whole of Shinano will be prostrate at your feet! ”

"Now, those who are willing to follow His Highness to attack the city like me stand on the left side of the line!"

Sasa Narumasa pointed to the other side of a small dirt bag, and was the first to stand over.

"I'll go!"

A very ugly-looking young samurai followed Cheng Zheng and stepped forward.

"I'll go!"

A ragged peasant also stepped forward, his age two years younger than the ugly young samurai, but his eyes were embarrassed, as if they were burning with infinite fighting spirit.

"I'll go!"

"I'll go!"

………… Almost all the samurai and half of the peasant soldiers stepped forward.

The long-tailed Jinghu nodded with satisfaction, turned over and stepped onto the war horse.

"Put up the horse seal and the dragon flag, and from now on, launch a charge!"

"Oh!"

"Kill everyone you meet on the road, regardless of your identity or position!"

"Oh!"

The soldiers of Echigo swept towards Fukashi Castle like the wind
