Hearing Hidepo said this, Nishio Mitsuko couldn't help but say surprise: "Your Highness said he was wary of the Tokugawa family. Do you think he was suspected of the inner court also involved?"

"That's not," Hideopo didn't want these Tokugawa Ieyasu's pawns to doubt it, and hurriedly explained: "There is no slander from the inner palace in this crusade order to show that the Tokugawa family is not involved. Moreover, Major General Yuki also accompanied us to conquer Aizu, so you don't need to worry. The reason I say this is because the inner palace's attitude is not obvious yet, and it is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. For safety reasons, you should try to choose the Nakayama Road when you return to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"So that's it." Nishio Kou Cult did not have doubts, but decided to go through Ueno and Shino and Mino after Hideo's instructions.

Although Hideopo knew that Tokugawa Ieyasu was inappropriate, the four families of Tokugawa, Asano, Ikeda and Pusheng who were stationed around Tokugawa's family wrote to him that there was no large-scale military aggregation on the border adjacent to Tokugawa's family. The news of these confidant daimyos made Hideopo's defense against Tokugawa Ieyasu to the minimum. However, he did not know that at this time, Tokugawa Ieyasu had led 75,000 troops into Aizu through Satake, completely avoiding Hideopo's Kanto eyeliner and directly penetrated into Hideopo's military force's "armest".

On April 21st, the day after receiving the order to attack, the seven Simino family headed by Nishio Mitsukoshi left Fukutoji Temple in the early morning and returned to Mino, while the small Daming, headed by Kuriki Mototsu, prepared to return to Kinki, was packing his luggage and preparing to leave for the next day to return home.

Looking at the Nishio Hikaru and others on the road happily, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Hideo's mouth. Three days later, at the border between Ueno and Musashi, people found the corpses of these seven daimyos and forty people accompanying him. Without exception, these people were all killed by ninja hidden weapons. Some of them were also found on the corpses of the Hattori family. Ikeda Shizumasa and Asano Nagamasa use this as an excuse to question the Tokugawa family. At that time, the Tokugawa family had already broken up with the Tokugawa family and launched a shocking battle between Hikaru and the Hikaru family at the foot of the little Hikaru Mountain.

Back to the topic, after the 20th military agreement was completed, everyone returned to their respective camps and continued to attack the Uesugi family according to the plan in advance. At this time, Wakamatsu Castle was beyond recognition after two days of war and baptism. All the strongholds outside the castle were captured by Toyotomi Army, except Ikebukuro and Kurokawa Naijima. Nishinomaru's Sebasin and Kurokawa Naijimaru struggled to defend the inner gate with two thousand troops, trying to stop the more than 10,000 troops of Otani Yoshiji. Ninomaru's situation should be slightly better, after all, in addition to the three thousand ambush soldiers of Naoe Kensuke, there were also two thousand soldiers led by Shituo Yoshihide and Shituo Yoshitachi. However, because the ambush could not be exposed, the formation of Gansuo Yoshihide had to use Shituo Yoshihide's Nanzhuang

The army was the main force against Kobayakawa and Tanaka Yoshimasaki. The situation was also very critical. However, compared with the east and west Mars, Ikebukuro, who was attacked by 25,000 troops, was even more difficult to sustain. In the defensive battle like a meat grinder. Kasumi Tadakami and Kokokuro (the younger brother of Naoe Kazushi) died one after another. As the general, Yasuda Nomoto led only one thousand troops to support it. The east, south and west Mars of Ikebukuro were conquered one after another, while Uesugi Keika was still unwilling to put the defenders of Ikebukuro from the north Mars. In this case, many Uesugi troops chose to betray the undesirable master family and defected to the fast-attacking Shimazu Yoshihiro and the housemaster of the Massacre.

Unexpectedly, in the evening of the same day, when the sun was about to set, Uesugi Keikaku actually opened the north gate and let only more than 300 Ikebukuro defenders enter the city. This change of attitude made Yasuda Nobuo very grateful, but after entering the city, he realized that Uesugi Keikaku's kindness was forced to be: under the powerful offensive of the Toyotomi army and the suppression of artillery fire, Nishide Maru and Nishidemaru were successively captured at 4:00 and 5:00 in the afternoon. Kurokawa was really unbearable in the battles of Nancho, Hirayama, Shinnam Village, and Nishidemaru defeated one after another. Yu Yoshijisui attacked Nishidemaru and committed suicide in the Oden. Nishidemaru's formation was incapable of returning to heaven, so he had to lead 500 remaining troops to return to the main horse; Nishidemaru's battle situation was even more complicated. Although Nishidemaru broke into Nishidemaru, the ambushed soldiers Naoe Ken

The ambush caused Xiaoyakigawa Hideaki's team to be in chaos. Fortunately, Tanaka Yoshimasaki who came later attacked Naoe Kensuke's flank, causing the Uesugi army to give up the break into Koyakigawa's team and retracted the army to retreat to Honmaru. In order to cover the retreat of the large army, Kamisaki Kamisaki and Shituo Yoshihide led the remaining troops to attract the Koyakigawa army to Ninomaru East Gate. During this period, Shitakitaka was killed in battle among the two walls in the Nanzhuang. Another Shitaki Yoshihide felt that he had done his best after getting the news that Naoe's army was withdrawn into Honmaru, and he drew his sword to commit suicide. As Shitakigawa's army, Sueko, who was Shitakigawa Yoshihide, did not choose to commit suicide, but to protect the lives of the remaining soldiers, he opened the east gate after obtaining the guarantee of Koyakigawa Hideaki and led 150 remaining troops to surrender, causing Ninomaru to completely fall into the hands of Toyotomi Army.

The so-called blessings are unparalleled, and misfortunes never come in singularity. After the two wing defense lines fell, news from Wuxuanding also came that Fukushima Masao had filled out several four-person-wide dirt roads, allowing the army to reach Honmaru's Ishigaki. In this case, it was no longer necessary to defend Ikebukuro. Therefore, Uesugi Keikaku ordered Yasuda Nobumoto to withdraw Honmaru.

At this point, the Uesugi army's Wakamatsu defense line collapsed completely, and the remaining 9,300 people were guarding Honmaru and Kitaidemaru under the command of Uesugi Keika, intending to make a dying struggle.

It was evening and it was dark. Hideo decided to suspend the attack, so that the soldiers who had fought for a day would rest well. At the same time, they still sent people to shout to the city, hoping that Uesugi Kyokatsu would see the situation clearly and Kaesong surrender. At this moment, Uesugi Kyokatsu had already understood that Hideo's promise of "200,000 stones" was now a great luxury. From Hideo's call, Uesugi Kyokatsu did not hear a promise of "allowing the status of family name and daimyo status". Instead, "for the sake of the soldiers and the people" was read frequently. These words greatly shook the will of the Uesugi army in the city. A considerable part of Uesugi army usurped the city to save their lives. In their eyes, what is more important than life?

However, most of the retainers and middle-level warriors who retreated into the city were stubborn. Their direct way to deal with those weak-willed was to kill one to warn a hundred. In front of the corpses of dozens of companions, the pitiful peasant soldiers had to accept the reality: Although outside the city was heaven, they could only live in hell.

Since the shouting was ineffective, in the second half of the night, Hideopo stopped in vain and asked most of the soldiers to rest and prepare to seize Ruomatsu the last battle the next day.

After receiving the order from Hidebo, the soldiers on the front line returned to the camp to take a nap, but the soldiers on patrol did not dare to relax at all. Under the leadership of the samurai, they strictly inspected and investigated the barracks, but they did not notice that on the eve of the victory, some ninjas were also busy shuttled between the British.

Hinaga Kobayakawa from Ninomaru, Hirokazu Tanaka, Yoshimasaki from Ikebukuro, Yoshihiro from Kuroda Nagamasa from the tōn, Tadashi Hosokawa Tadaki from Okawa, Kamichi from Okimachi, Hirokazu Yoshikawa from Yoshikawa, Hirokazu Yoshikawa from Yoshikawa, Hirokazu Yoshikawa from Yoshikawa, Mori Hidemoto from Kohira, Yoshikawa from the Furukawa Shrine and Yoshikawa Yoshikawa from the tōkyo Temple and others have received a secret letter written by Tokugawa Ieyasu. The letter is short and it is shocking to everyone.
