Nagano Yoshimasa's anger and determination are not surprising, the Nishi-Ueno Loose Autonomous Alliance is the dream of every Kotoshi lord, just like the crooked ways of Kaga Province, and those who believe in Ichijo are all fools? Obviously not, but they can give everything for themselves to be undisciplined and live the life of a monkey as a king.

Compared to the lawless situation of the Kaga people, the people of Nishiueno are relatively much looser, and their lord Uesugi Kenmasa has just been taken away by the people of the country, and he was immediately attacked by the present world, Hojo and Takeda attacked one after another and almost swollen the two cheeks, and now he is busy remembering that he still has a lord with a thin sense of existence, and hurriedly asks for help from Echigo.

This can also be seen that the coordination within the people of Ueno is still relatively poor, and Nagano Yemasa can also be regarded as a weakened and incomplete version of the long tail as a scene, it seems that it is quite beautiful to be the leader of the alliance, and once the old man tries to engage in the Warring States Daimyo, he will immediately suffer a catastrophe, which he himself can see.

While declaring his determination and will, he actively launched a self-help operation, persuaded and persuaded the countrymen lords in various parts of Ueno, and tried his best to unite his own forces to resist the invasion of the Hojo family, this time the situation was better than the last expulsion of Uesugi Constitutionalism, and the number of people who insisted on being the Ueno leading party was greatly reduced, except for some former Uesugi ministers who had long been in the arms of the Hojo family, both East Ueno and West Ueno had a clear attitude towards resisting the invasion of the Hojo army.

On July 6, Nagao Keitora received a letter from Ueno and immediately called a military council, but Kira Yoshishi did not speak at the meeting, none of the samurai present were rookies, and the battle-hardened veterans knew what they had to do without much explanation. The long-tailed Jinghu's military strategy is even more problematic. On the level of command in battle battles, especially field battles. The entire Kanto region and even the world can stabilize him, and the level of Kira Yoshitoki is far from catching up.

"Come and see my newly written military flag!" The long-tailed Jinghu unfolded a pair of white silk, on which was written a strangely shaped character "dragon", which looked very similar to the word "chaos".

"Is this a dragon word? The pen walking dragon snake has highlighted the extraordinary momentum...... "At first glance, I felt quite familiar, and then I realized the origin of this military flag after a closer look, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this a chaotic dragon flag?" ”

The Ranlong Banner is the most proud military flag of the long-tailed Jinghu, second only to the "Bi" character flag used later, and its influence even overshadows the family tattoo flag. Becoming the spiritual symbol of the Nagao family, the name is so loud that it is difficult for him not to remember.

"Randrake Banner?" The long-tailed Jinghu looked happy and laughed, "What a good name!" I like the name, so let's call him Ranlong Banner! ”

"Ahem! I seem to have done something again......" Seeing that Nagao Jinghu was rarely so happy, Kira Yoshitoki could only shrug his shoulders and muttered helplessly: "Forget it, let him go." ”

A banner embodies the personal will of the main general, embodies the collective will of a legion, the Ranlong Banner is like the Kira family's "Ashikaga Kamizaburo Yoshitoki" flag, the Takeda family's Kazabarin Volcano Flag, representing the glory and strength of a legion, the appearance of this military flag also indicates the beginning of the Echigo Dragon soaring above the nine heavens, what will Kira Yoshitoki bring? He couldn't say it himself.

The work to be done is already in place. Two days later, on a sunny morning, the Longtail Legion held a ceremony to go into battle. As the general of the general, Nagao Jinghu could only complete the ceremony of three offerings with clear water instead of sake, and then swore to pull out the camp and send tens of thousands of troops to slowly board the boat in the port of Naoetsu.

The Kira Navy dispatched a large number of roundabout ships to carry the Nagao Army from Naoetsu and Kashiwasaki ports to the newly built Niigata Port, and then marched south along the Shinano River, passing through the Uonogawa River to land outside Yuzawa Town, and crossed the Mikuni Pass into Ueno Province.

Half a month after Nagao Keitor's fanfare, Kira Yoshitoki also began to assemble his forces according to his own plan and launch a surprise attack on Shinano Province in retaliation, this time the purpose was to destroy Shinano's living forces, to deal a heavy blow to the people of Nobuyo-Takeda Hono Country, and to adopt a special operation method at the appropriate time.

Later, he delineated the scope of this expedition, and the 6,000 troops were all taken out by the Kira Army, and there was no need for the Echigo people, the wealthy clans, and the towns and villages to bear additional military service, and this expedition did not count the main force of the Shinano reserve, so that the 2,000 troops of Shinano reached 8,000 people, and it was enough for a war that did not aim to seize territory.

In order to increase the suddenness of this retaliatory raid, Kira Yoshitoki did not choose to hold a military meeting, but instead verbally conveyed orders at daily meetings, and at the same time allocated 3,000 troops to guard near Keikun Castle in front of him on the grounds of normal defense.

In this combat operation, Hattori Masaaki did not participate, but was responsible for cleaning up the ninja sentry placed by various samurai in the Echigo area, and the order given by Kira Yoshitoki was to ensure that the vicinity of Naoetsu and Kasuga Mountain was "clean", and he was in charge of a very heavy task, and in order to ensure the success rate, all the Iga ninjas were left in Kasuga Mountain Castle to standby.

In the Kasuga Yamajo Castle Castle Castle Tower, Torahime is carefully dressing Kira Yoshitoki in a more gorgeous black lacquer two carcass Nanban carcass, and now he is no longer the little boy of the past, at the age of sixteen, he is already a tall and burly man, and his voice is not as good as before, but it is stronger and more powerful than a few years ago.

"I heard that the thin gold armor is well repaired, but it's a pity that I can't wear it at my height! The weight of this Nanban carcass is not light! "It's okay to stretch out your arms and try to feel it, this Nanban carcass is enough to be transported from Sakai Town at the beginning of the year, and he has worn it a few times to try the feeling, and he hasn't experienced a baptism of war.

After a few years of trial work, from the initial simple imitation gradually groped out of the local style of the world, a set of full weight is almost twenty pounds, ordinary people wear it hard, not to mention how difficult it is to move freely, you can imagine how uncomfortable it is to wear this kind of thing to fight.

"Your Highness, don't move, the armor won't be able to be put on!" Tiger Ji is also very tall. Taller than his brother and sister. Thanks to her, she has an excellent martial arts foundation. In the past few years, because of the shackles of marriage, there has been less training in archery and archery, and more practice in spearmanship and swordsmanship.

Even so, it was not something that could be done in a moment to wear the complex armor layer by layer, and Kira Yoshitoki's not very honest movements also caused her a lot of trouble, when the last piece of Jinhaoori was draped on his body. Tiger Ji was also drenched in sweat and panting.

"Thank you!" Holding the little hand of the tiger Ji, the thick armor blocked the transmission of body temperature, but could not block the transmission of love between the two, Ji Liang Yishi took advantage of the situation to hug her willow waist, and said gently: "The family is taken care of by you, ask the master if you don't decide on foreign affairs, and make your own decisions if you don't decide on internal affairs, protect yourself and our home." ”

"Hmm!" The girl snuggled into his arms and was silent for a long time.

"Your Excellency! It's time to send troops! Yamamoto Tokiyuki stood downstairs and urged loudly, and the two could only sigh and slowly separate when they heard this.

"Be careful!"

"Hmmm! I'll be back soon! ”

A few days later, in the Kai Mansion Nakatsu Uzaki Museum, Takeda Harunobu listened to the emergency report of the Toupo Ninja with a gloomy face. Iitomi Torama said: "The Kira army invaded Shinano, and the general Kira Yoshitoki. The number of troops is unknown, the direction of attack is unknown, the reason for sending troops is unknown, it is a surprise attack without declaring war, please make a quick decision! ”

Since the death of the Izumi Ise Defense,The impact on the Toripo Ninja Army is very great,Twenty elite ninjas died meaninglessly in Kasuga Mountain Castle and didn't get anything.,At present, the Toripo Ninja Army will face the problem of reorganization.,The original set leader of the Toripo Kozaburo Izuura,Still independently accepted the dispatch of the family governor.。

But judging from the current situation, Iitomi Huchang managed the Thorough Ninja Army on his behalf, which is equivalent to saying that Takeda's family won a small game, and by virtue of his identity as Taro Yoshinobu's teacher, Iitomi Huchang has become the leader of the two major military organizations of the Takeda family's Red Warrior and the Thorough Ninja Army, and the military power in his hands is close to Takeda Shinshiga, leaving those genealogy generations and Ashigaru generals far behind.

Takeda Harunobu didn't have time to think about this trouble for the time being, three days ago, the Kira army crossed the Chikuma River overnight in a boat, and attacked Koji County in the early morning of July 19, and the ninjas of the Kira family did a good job of blocking the information, and then cooperated with the ambush of the Xuanyuan ninja, so it took an extra day for the information to be transmitted to Kai.

"How can you come out of Shinano? Isn't Ueno's form already very tricky? Nobuaki looked at his colleagues around him suspiciously, and found that they were also at a loss, the Kira army suddenly came out of Shinano, which they did not expect, and according to their plan, they should deal with the more threatening Hojo family.

At the beginning of April this year, the Hojo family was requested by a new ally, Oda Clan, to besiege Yuki Masakatsu together, as a fellow clan and the current governor of the family from the Yuki family, Koyama Takato, immediately led an army to help, and another ally of the Yuki family, Satake Yoshiaki, also rushed to the rescue, and the two sides fought an occasional battle, and finally won by suppressing the enemy army with the narrow advantage of the Hojo clan Kang who invaded the guest army, ensuring the influence of Oda Clan in Shimoku and Hitachi.

Oda Clan's alliance with the Hojo family in spite of opposition was something that the Hojo clan was happy to see, and the fierce contradictions within the Kanto people were really exposed with the big fight, and after a landmark victory, the Chiba clan saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly took refuge in the Hojo family, plus the Furukawa Gongfang Ashikaga Tomasa, who had been allied with his son-in-law, and the country was basically controlled by the Hojo clan.

In July this year, Hojo Shiyasu led an army of 20,000 troops out of Ueno, compared to the difficult predicament of a few years ago, the Hojo family is now full of vitality, and its strength is even higher than that of the Takeda family, which has been hit hard, and many Ueno people, including the Kohata party, have accepted the Hojo family's strategy, and made "great contributions" in the process of expelling Uesugi Kenmasa, and the Hojo family is far above the Takeda family in terms of the degree of threat to Ueno country.

The strategic arrangement of the Hojo family is very similar to that of the Takeda family, first fighting a battle in the southern Kanto, and then fighting a war in the northern Kanto, laying some territory in the south to annex and digest, and then going to the north to lay some territory to annex and digest, which not only creates time for the retainers to win over the local people, but also expands Hojo's influence little by little.
