The nun soldiers outside were attracted by the sound of Ninomaru's charge. They only guarded the entrance to the inner court, but they didn't notice the two figures crawling out of the dog hole in embarrassment and quietly walking away.
When the large group of nuns were at a loss when faced with internal and external changes, Yoshigami and Terutora Uesugi took the opportunity to retrieve a lone nun and kill him.
He took off her headband, tore it in half with a knife, barely covered their mouths and noses, and walked out in a huddled manner.
Uesugi Teruhora's face was feverish, and he cursed in a low voice, which was embarrassing and completely humiliating.
Yiyin turned around and glared at her. Of course, saving his life was the most important thing! When life and death are at stake, why should you care about face?
The two took advantage of the confusion to touch the wall of Honmaru.
Everyone's attention was focused on the cavalry rushing out from Ninomaru. There was almost no one guarding the lower wall.
Using the tattered headband to cover up, he passed a few lazy nun soldiers and came to the lower wall.
There is a wall outside the wall here, and a shooting hole inside for observation.
The inner height is one person, the outer height is two and a half people, and the angle between the sides is Ninomaru's castle wall, aiming at attacking the enemy forces outside the Honmaru wall.
At the bottom is the exit of the narrow path between the two pills. Going out is the downhill slope. Under the slope are the horse barriers and wooden gates outside Songcang City.
Yoshigan looked out from the shooting hole and saw that Yukimori Yamanaka and Kanetsugu Naoe had led the cavalry to this place and were blocking the pursuing enemy troops behind them.
Shiina's retainers and Xiang Zongni soldiers distrusted each other and had little cooperation.
They all thought that the cavalry would attack the main gate of Honmaru and rescue the two trapped governors.
Unexpectedly, the cavalry rushed out directly and guarded the outside of the wall under the main pill, refusing to leave.
Koma Tsunemitsu and Shiina Yasuin were on the castle tower, looking down.
The sun was setting and it was almost dusk.
Black smoke billowed inside and outside the small castle, and countless people shouted and ran to get water to put out the fire.
The black smoke blew towards the large castle guard on the side, blocking the view. Koma Tsunemitsu couldn't find any trace of the two of them for a while, and he was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
Shiina Yasuyin next to her deeply hated her for being unstable and making mistakes, but she had no way out and had to observe and search together.
She pointed to the lower wall and said.
"Where the cavalry stopped to block the attack must be the connection point that was discussed before.
Send someone quickly, Nagao Kagetora is bound to go there! quick! "
Koma Changguang suddenly understood and quickly shouted behind him to take action.
At the bottom of the wall, Yoshigin said to Uesugi Teruhora.
"They're here, let's get out quickly."
Teruhora Uesugi half-crouched against the wall and nodded to Yoshigami.
Yiyin used her squatting thighs and shoulders leaning against the wall to rush up to the wall in two steps.
He turned back and handed his hand to Uesugi Teruhu, clasping his palms tightly, pushing on the wall and pulling her up.
The inner wall is only as high as one person, so as not to protect the people inside, but the outer wall is two and a half people high, so it is impossible to jump directly.
Jie is made of sloping rocks with a slightly outward angle, which prevents the enemy from climbing.
Naoe Kanetsugu led his men to form a spear formation to stop the pursuers on the narrow path behind him.
Yamanaka Yukimori and several Ji warriors were waiting at the foot. They took off the mother's clothes that were used to protect Liu Ya from behind and wrapped them around their hands.
The two of them held each other's wrists, forming a simple cushion.
The enemy seemed to have reacted. There was a noise from the Ninomaru wall, and there was a vague intention of calling for bows and arrows to attack from above.
Honmaru, there was also the sound of running behind the two of them, and the pursuers were approaching.
Yoshiyin knew he couldn't delay any longer, so he kowtowed slightly to Uesugi Teruhora, gritted his teeth and jumped down first.
Yamanaka Yukimori's thoughts were all on him, and when he saw him jumping over the wall, his heart beat faster and he was sweating behind his back.
Keep an eye on the landing point, adjust the position slightly, put him in your arms, squat down to cushion, and relieve some of the remaining strength.
Even so, his arms felt like a heavy blow with a blunt instrument, and he groaned in pain.
Ji Ji, who joined forces with her, was also sweating, but he caught it anyway.
Yamanaka Yukimori held Yoshigin in his arms, smelling the sweat on his body, and forgot about the war for a moment, wishing that this moment would last forever.
Yiyin saw her stunned and expressed concern.
"Yamanaka-hime, have you ever been injured?"
Yamanaka Yukimori's face turned red and he shook his head.
"No."
She helped her master up, and Uesugi Teruhu jumped down beside her.
The Uesugi warrior who responded to her didn't release his strength well. When he heard the sound of "gra", his arm showed a strange arc.
Warrior Ji was also a ruthless character. He was sweating coldly and just tied his severed arm around his waist.
Naoe Kanetsugu was almost unstoppable. The spears used by the cavalry were longer than one room, so they were not suitable for forming a spear formation.
Fortunately, the main force in pursuit was the Ni soldiers, and the naginata they were accustomed to used were only a room and a half long, so they couldn't take advantage of the weapons.
Encountering a narrow road again, they were unable to use their numerical advantage, so they were blocked for so long.
But at this time, a crowd of bowmen and arrows appeared on Ninomaru, raining arrows on the cavalry from the shooting holes and the top of the wall.
Warrior Ji, who dismounted and formed a formation, was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses in an instant.
The footsteps inside the main pill are getting denser and denser, and they are about to attack from both sides.
Yiyin said anxiously.
"Mount up! Mount up! Let's go!"
Naoe Kanetsugu shouted loudly, and several of the Hime warriors behind him continued to maintain their spear formations to block him with expressionless faces.
The others mounted their horses and rushed downhill. The ashigaru guarding the gate in front was carrying mobile rifles flipped on both sides, trying to block the path down the mountain.
The Shangshanji warrior who had lost his hand just now took the lead, rushing towards the horse gun with his men and horses, and used the momentum to smash the road.
Before the collision, she jumped off her horse, drew her katana, and slashed at the ashigaru beside her with one hand.
Several more cavalrymen rushed out and rushed towards the wooden gate fence. They also jumped off their horses halfway and fought towards both sides.
The simple defense line that was broken through by several war horses could no longer stop the cavalry's charge, allowing the group of people to rush out.
Looking carefully at the main castle, Tsuneko Koma was furious and Shiina Yasuin was extremely disappointed.
Koma Tsunemitsu was obviously panicked, and Shiina Yasuyin cursed.
"Why panic! Nagao Kagetora (Uesugi Terutora) hasn't run back to Echigo yet, this matter hasn't failed yet!"
Tsuneko Koma seemed to be grasping at a life-saving straw and asked the family supervisor for advice.
"Your Highness, there is no way out now. If you have any ideas, just tell me."
Shiina Yasuyin's eyes twitched when she heard this.
This bastard defected to the Yuezhong Yixiang Sect and tricked me into joining the game. Now he has caused a lot of trouble and wants me to clean up the mess.
She knew it was not the time to settle accounts, so she held back her anger and said.
"Pass my order and send out envoys to blockade the checkpoints and capture the branch cities entrusted to the Nagao family.
Although the Naga-tailed Kagetora escaped, he could not run far because of lack of food and supplies and depleted weapons.
As long as she guarded the pass and the ferry and left her with no way out, could she still spread her wings and fly back to Echigo?
Kasugayama Castle just sent someone to negotiate with me, and I couldn't help but be moved by the conditions offered.
The governor of the house is in danger outside, but Echigo cannot send reinforcements, so he can only rely on me. What does this mean?
Civil strife has begun in Echigo!
As long as Nagao Kagetora is blocked in Shinkawa County, she will be trapped to death. Echigo has no reinforcements. No matter what she does, she is destined to struggle to her death! "
Shiina Yasuyin said harsh words, but she felt regretful in her heart.
If she hadn't fallen into Tsunemitsu Koma's trick, she could have helped Nagao Kagetora.
Not only can he take back the territories in Xinchuan County that were taken away by the Nagao family, but he can also get a big favor.
And now?
He failed to lure him into the city and ambush him, and his reputation among the martial arts family was completely ruined.
Collaborating with the Yuezhong Yixiang Zong violated the taboo of all martial arts families, and there was bound to be a backlash among the retainers.
Unable to turn back, Shiina Yasuyin could only rely on the power of the Ezhong Ichigosect to suppress both internal and external affairs and save his position first.
She was so regretful that her intestines were blue, but there was nothing she could do.
Koma Changguang also has a ghost in his heart.
She had previously ordered her retainers to paralyze Nagao Kagetora and tried her best to meet her request, but in the end she was deceived into taking away a batch of weapons and armaments.
She didn't dare to let Shiina Yasuyin know, fearing that the extremely tense relationship between the two parties would break, so she could only say it reluctantly.
"Spring plowing has not ended yet, and our military strength is limited and we cannot block the entire territory."
Shiina Yasuyin said coldly.
“There is no need to block everything, just lock the territory to the east toward Echigo.
Don’t you have a deep relationship with Yixiang Zong? Ask them to work together!
You planned everything and dragged me into the water. Don’t you want to pay some price? "
She looked ugly and was about to fall out, so Tsuneko Koma bowed quickly.
"Your Highness, please calm down. I will make arrangements right away."
"etc!"
Shiina Yasuyin had a cold face and spit out a murderous word.
"Kagenao Nagao, let her commit seppuku."
Kojian Changguang was stunned and nodded.
Nagao Kagetora is the adopted daughter that Nagao Kagetora gave to Shiina Yasuin. The symbol of the alliance between the two parties is also a sharp thorn in Shiina Yasuin's heart.
Now that the two alliances are broken, this hidden danger that will affect the inheritance of the Shiina family can also be eliminated.
Yoshihiro and his party rushed out of Matsukura Castle and rushed through the castle town. No one dared to stop them, but the red-eyed Samurai Hime still caused many casualties along the way.
When the brigade rushed several miles away and began to count the number of people, more than half of them were damaged in the battle, and their morale was suddenly low.
Uesugi Teruhora's eyes turned red, he drew his sword, turned around, pointed it at Matsukura Castle, and roared.
"Shiina Yasuyin! Shameless villain! I swear to kill you! I swear to kill you!"
