In the early morning of April 21, Dongfang Jibai, who was named Mitsuno, who like the Daming, received the seven major names of Nishimino, according to Tokugawa Ieyasu's instructions, immediately set off to return to Mino, intending to stabilize Nishimino's position before Hideo's side discovers, fight with the Maori army in the Kinki direction, and take down the Nyoka Corridor in one fell swoop, and cut off Hideo's supply line.

At dawn, Hideo was on his way. Hideo was suspicious of the urgency of the generals of Simino, but he had already ordered the Ninja army to ambush halfway, preparing to kill all forty-seven people in this group and disguise them as the Tokugawa Ninja, so that he could leave an excuse to suppress the Tokugawa family after the war. Therefore, Hideo did not care much about the actions of these people, but turned its focus to Wakamatsu Castle on the north bank of Yukawa. With more than 3,000 troops lost, the Tokugawa army finally annihilated 11,000 enemies and completed the three sides of the Uesugi army. Seventy thousand Tokui army, except for the island Kiyoshi, which was left in the Tsuruaru platform, Hirohiro Hiroki had only 5,600 people. The remaining army was all involved in the battle to attack Honmaru. If nothing unexpected happened, he could conquer the city within half a day and complete the final battle against Uesugi Keika.

But things went against my wishes. At 8 o'clock that morning, the peaceful and unrest seemed to have something strange about Yukawa's south bank. The island of Tsubasa in the Tsurumi platform in the north of Kawakita Kawa found on the watchtower tower that an unknown army was moving towards one's own side from Iwaki Street. Judging from the direction of the journey, the target of this team was not Wakamatsu Castle, but the Toyotomi Army in southern Sichuan.

Seeing this, Shima Kiyoshi immediately sent fifteen scouts to investigate, and sent people to the easternmost positions of the southern Sichuan defense line, Fukugawa Shrine and Okagawa Zhuang in southern Sichuan, to inform the generals Maori Katsunobu and Fukushima Takayoshi, to ask the two to prepare for combat.

About two quarters of an hour later, the scout rode back to the Tsuruma platform and reported to Shima Kiyoshiki, saying, "Sir, we have just investigated and found out that this army is affiliated with the Edo Inner Palace. It is estimated that the number of people is no less than 70,000!"

"Seventy thousand!!" Dao Qingxing roared, and took two steps back in surprise. He hurriedly asked, "Have you asked why the inner government led so many military forces to come?!"

"The villain sent four scouts to inquire, but..."

"But what?"

"The four people did not come back. Seeing that the situation was not good, the villain had to return first to report to you."

"The people from the inner palace are not good!" Shima Kiyoshi immediately sent someone to report the situation to Hideopo, who was in Fukutoji Temple, and informed Okawa Village that the generals from the Fukugawa Shrine required him to strictly guard his position and that the Tokugawa family should not be allowed to pass through until the order was obtained by Hideopo.

However, this series of measures was too late for the two front-line strongholds in southern Sichuan. After seizing the four scouts sent by Shima Kiyoshi, the Tokugawa army immediately accelerated its movement to the Furukawa Shrine, which had the least garrison. The five thousand troops with Honda Tadmasa as the pioneer arrived first at the Maori Katsunobu station on the east side of the shrine, while Yasuhara Yasumasa led the eight thousand troops north to attack Ogawa Zhuang, intending to occupy the connection between the Toyotomi army and the South Bank in the later stage, and at the same time cleared the obstacles for Kobayakawa Hideaki to the south.

Although he received a notice from Kojima Kiyoshiki the moment ago that there was an army coming. However, since it was an enemy or a friend and the scale was not detailed, Masato Nobuki was not fully prepared. On the contrary, Masato Nobuki, who led a thousand remaining troops to retreat to Koichi, knew it well. On the one hand, he went to the shrine to persuade Koichi Nobuki, without much concern, and on the other hand, he rectified his military equipment and was ready to cooperate with Tokugawa's army to capture Koichi.

The Tokugawa vanguard, who was mainly cavalry, rushed to Mori Satoshi Nobuki's army with lightning speed. It was not until this time that Mori Satoshi knew that the other party was Tokugawa Ieyasu's army. Under the pressure of the army, Mori Satoshi immediately sent an envoy to Honta Tadamasa's team to question it. Only then did he learn that the Tokugawa family had received the order to attack Hideopo. Honta Tadamasa told the envoy that the order to attack Hideopo was Toyotomi Hiderai's tacit approval, hoping that Mori Satoshi would not help the evil, and immediately hand over the stronghold and obey the Tokugawa family's order, otherwise there would be only a dead end.

Faced with such a sudden situation, Maori Katsunobu sent an envoy to Fukutoji Temple for help, while sending his second son to Honta Tadamasa's team to try to gain his trust and delaying the time. However, he did not expect that Nagazomoto's team, who had been stationed in the southwest of the shrine, discovered the envoy for help, captured him and handed him over to Honta Tadamasa, and told him that the army was very fast. We could not delay this frontier position. We should immediately seize the Fukugawa Shrine according to Tokugawa Ieyasu, and rushed to Kohiyama and Maori, Yuki's troops joined forces, and relied on their instant advantageous forces to defeat Hidebo's team to win.

The hypocritical disobedience of Maori Katsunobu Honta Tadamasa was very angry. He ordered the army to attack Fukugawa immediately, and Nagazo's troops Moriki also took the opportunity to send troops to block the western and southern exits of Fukugawa, and launched a sneak attack on the Maori army, which was unprepared for him. Under the crazy attack of the six thousand troops, the Maori army collapsed in less than three minutes. Maori Katsunobu was injured by iron cannon on his shoulder, and his legitimate son and second son were killed by Honta's army, leading more than 200 people to escape from the north and head straight to the direction of Kagawa Zhuang, trying to ask Fukushima Takayoshi to come for support.

But he did not expect that at this time, Ogawa Zhuang was also bloody. Before Fukushima Takayoshi and Yamaakashi Nakanobu were awakened, they were led by Yasukahara Yasukamasa, one of the four kings of Tokugawa. Fortunately, there were 7,000 Tokugawa troops in the area of ​​Tokugawa Zhuang. In addition to the initial advantage, the Tokugawa army basically remained in a state of melee. The two soldiers fought repeatedly at the east, south and north exits of Ogawa Zhuang. As agreed in advance, Kasukahara Yasuka sent several envoys to North Sichuan to convey Tokugawa Ieyasu's instructions to Hideaki Kobayashi, requiring him to work with the Uesugi family to restrain the Tokugawa army in North Sichuan, so that the Tokugawa army had enough time to fight with Hideobo's team.

When Maori Katsunobu arrived at Okawa Village, Nankou was just recaptured by the Yamaakashi Kyoto's 200 remnants. Without rest, the two hundred remnants were organized into the Nankou garrison to participate in the battle. Maori Katsunobu himself went to the Fukushima Takayoshi's main formation and informed the generals of the military information of the fall of the Fukushima Shrine. Fukushima Takayoshi did not expect that the Tokugawa family would be betray the Toyotomi family at this moment and then form an alliance with Maori Hiromoto. In addition, he was shocked and immediately sent envoys to Oichong and Fukutoji Temple, which were still safe. The former was asking for help from the Satake army, and the latter informed Hideo of the military information to make him prepare for the fight against Tokugawa Ieyasu.

From discovering the movements of the Tokugawa army to the capture of the Kochigawa Shrine, the Tokugawa army took only more than half an hour, and the rapid attack was completely beyond everyone's imagination. As of 10 a.m., Tokugawa Ieyasu's team had 50,000, 12,000 troops, and a total of 62,000 people arrived at the Kochi Shrine. Kazuhara Yasumasa basically controlled the eastern part of Okawajojo, while Honta Tadamasa led the vanguard to the eastern end of the Hirasan Plain on the northern foot of the Kochi Mountains, and sent envoys to Yuki Hideyasu's tribe stationed in the plain, asking him to join forces with the mountainside, Hidemoto Mori and Hirokazu Yoshikawa on the top of the mountain to raid Fukuto Temple as the vanguard of the Tokugawa army.
