In Uesaka Castle, Kyogoku Takahiro, Kyogoku Takayoshi and others still didn't know what happened on the banks of the Anegawa River, but the raging fire reflected the entire night sky red, making it difficult not to notice.
Thinking again of the contents of the letter that Master Saburo sent into the city, Kyogoku Takahiro quickly called Mitsui Setsutsuna and others.
"emon, look, there's a fire burning in the direction of Anegawa. It seems to be the Asai family's main formation there. Do you think something happened to the Asai family's main formation?" Kyogoku Takahiro was in the attic of Uesaka Castle Castle. He pointed to the northwest and said loudly with an excited look on his face.
Seeing that a fire was indeed burning in the direction of Anegawa, Mitsui Setsutsuna and others also jumped in their hearts, "My lord, God bless our family! If the Asai family's main formation changes, the enemy troops surrounding Uesaka Castle will naturally be unstable. This is a breakout. What a great opportunity!”
"Young Master asked us to open the city gate and rush out when we saw something abnormal outside the city. Obviously what happened in the Asai family's main formation should be related to Young Master!" Onoki Hidetoshi, the Lord of Nagabi City, said in a deep voice with his head lowered.
"Kagamomo is right, my lord, please give the order quickly. Here's the chance to avenge the past!" Kobori Masato clenched his fists and said excitedly.
Kyogoku Takahiro showed hesitation, "It's just that we were defeated the day before yesterday and our family suffered heavy casualties. Now we can mobilize less than two hundred troops. Most of the troops in the city are commanded by Uesaka Admiral. This matter still needs to be discussed with Uesaka Admiral. Ichiban.”
"I'll go and invite the Administrative Department's Daifu Hall over right now!" Asami Takasune promised.
Not long after, Uesaka Nobumitsu walked in while yawning while rubbing his sleepy eyes, "Kyogoku-den, I called you here late at night. What's the important thing?"
Kyogoku Takahiro did not speak. Since Nobumitsu Uesaka wanted to put on airs, Kyogoku Takahiro also had to pretend to be the majestic governor of the Kyogoku family.
Mitsui Setsunai, who was next to Kyogoku Takahiro, saw this and had no choice but to say, "In the Administrative Department Daisuke Hall, the Asai family's main camp in the direction of Anegawa burst into flames, and the enemy troops outside the city are in panic."
"My lord and I have discussed it for a while and decided to go out of the city to attack the enemy. However, this matter requires the cooperation of the Chief Assistant Hall of the Administrative Department, so I specially called the Chief Assistant Hall of the Administrative Department to come to discuss it!"
After listening to Mitsui Setsutsuna's words, Uesaka Nobumitsu was also stunned, and then he was attracted by the sky-high fire outside the city, "It actually started a fire? God help me!"
"Wait a minute, I fell into Asai Ryomasa's plan the day before yesterday. If Asai Ryomasa deliberately set the fire today to lure us out of the city, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?" Uesaka Nobumitsu suddenly said.
Uesaka Nobumitsu's words also made Kyogoku Takahiro and others feel uncertain, "Why don't we take a look at the situation first?"
Perhaps they were frightened by Asai Ryomasa. Faced with such a good opportunity, Kyogoku Takahiro and others chose to hold on, but this gave the Asai family troops outside the city a good opportunity to retreat.
After receiving the retreat order from Asai Ryomasa, and the fire burning in the direction of the main formation, Asai Kiyomasa, Asai Ien and others outside Uesaka Castle had no choice but to retreat.
Originally, they were worried that the Kyogoku family troops in Uesaka Castle would take advantage of the situation and kill them, so Asai Kiyomasa specially asked Asai Nomasa and Amamori Sadji to serve as palace troops. As a result, Asai Kiyomasa and others ran all the way to the Anegawa River without encountering any pursuers.
After Asai Ryomasa and Asai Kiyomasa and others met, they also informed Asai Kiyomasa and others about tonight's events in detail. Due to the betrayal of the Mitamura family, the Asai family was naturally unable to return from the Mitamura family's territory, so they had to take a detour to cross the river from Kunitomo Village on the west side.
Master Saburo and Mitamura Tamasa charged at the Asai family's main formation, and then headed towards Uesaka Castle. When they arrived at Uesaka Castle, they found that there was no one outside the city.
"My Lord Mitamura Castle, Tadayamasa Mitamura, and Ryomasa Asai have been repulsed by me. Please ask Kyogoku-don to appear and answer!"
"Please Kyogoku-don show up and answer!" After not seeing any movement for a long time, Mitamura Tamasa repeated again.
At this time, a head timidly popped out from the top of Uesaka Castle, "Where is Master Saburo?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Master Saburo, who was standing next to Mitamura Tamasa, quickly said, "Father, Mitamura Palace has assisted us in repelling Asai Ryomasa, and the siege of Uesaka Castle has been lifted!"
"It is indeed Master Saburo, he is indeed the son of my family, wuwu" Seeing that it was really Master Saburo who came to rescue him, Kyogoku Takahiro couldn't help but burst into tears with excitement.
"Squeak", the gate of Uesaka City slowly opened, and Mitsui Chengzuna walked out, "I have seen Master Sanlang Hall, but I didn't expect that I would rely on Master Sanlang Hall to come to the rescue. I am really ashamed! "
After saying that, Mitsui Setsuna came to Mitsui Gensuke's side again and patted Mitsui Gensuke's shoulder heavily, "Well done Gensuke, you didn't embarrass me!"
Mitsui Gensuke's face turned red. This was the first time he heard Mitsui Setsutsuna praise him.
Master Sanlang took over the conversation at this time, "Master Mitsui, when the Asai family retreated just now, did you lead the army to pursue them?"
"Well, that's not the case." Mitsui Chengzuna scratched his head in embarrassment, "Due to the heavy casualties in our army and the fear that it was Asai Ryomasa's plan, we didn't act rashly."
Damn it!
Master Saburo finally convinced these pig teammates, and he worked hard to pull Tadayamasa Mitamura into blowing Asai Ryomasa's anus. Seeing the Asai family's troops retreating, Kyogoku Takahiro and others didn't even give chase!
The formation was attacked, and the life or death of the general was unknown. In this case, retreat was relatively conservative, and it could be described as a rout. Even if only a few dozen of Kyogoku Takahiro and others rushed out, they could chase down the Asai family's defeated troops for several blocks. Mmp was actually scared!
In this way, although the siege of Uesaka Castle was resolved and the Asai family was defeated, the actual casualties were only the dozens of people who had attacked the formation.
For the Asai family, which can mobilize thousands of troops at any time, this is not a big deal.
What a great opportunity to weaken the Asai family, but it was wasted by these pig teammates. Master Saburo was really speechless.
As if seeing Master Saburo's dissatisfaction, Mitsui Chengzuna hurriedly said, "Master Saburo Hall and Mita Village Hall have achieved such a great achievement. It is really gratifying and congratulatory. Please enter the city first!"
Mitamura Tadamasa didn't care about all this. He only knew that he had just defeated the arrogant Asai Ryomasa and completely avenged his previous humiliation!
Just as Mitamura Tadamasa and Master Saburo were preparing to enter the city, there was a sudden burst of footsteps in the dense forest not far away. Master Saburo, Mitsui Setsutsuna and others suddenly changed their expressions, thinking that the Asai family had made a comeback.
On the other hand, Mitamura Tamasa said "Huh", and then said loudly, "That seems to be the military strength of the Shimosaka family?"
"The Shisaka family?" Master Saburo looked puzzled, "Why are the troops of the Shisaka family here?"
Just when a few people looked puzzled, the troops in front had already moved closer. A "Four Eyes Knot" flag was swaying in the wind, and a middle-aged samurai wearing a black crotch ball and a bowl-shaped pocket walked out from the crowd. "My dear Shimono Shiro Saburo, I have come to join the battle to help Kyogoku Palace in the fight against the rebellion!!"
