Nongzhen City has fallen. As an outpost of Anong City, an important southeastern barrier, it held out for less than twenty days before being breached.
This was despite the enemy's slow movement due to splitting their forces along the way.
If the enemy had rushed directly at Nongzhen City without concern, solely relying on the city's defenses and the surrounding rock fortresses would have held for only two days at most.
However, the losses weren't significant for the Hokitate family, losing only over a thousand men, while the main force managed to retreat successfully.
