Terutora Uesugi said.
"I will send Xuanyuan ninjas to search for the whereabouts of Duke Qianxin in the Kawanaka Island area. 櫝杝
Naoe Keizuna, your troops are in full strength and are strictly guarding the crossings of Xichuan River. Pay close attention to whether Lord Kenshin returns.
The remaining families reorganized their military service accounts and counted casualties and military merits. As for rewards and rewards, we will wait until Duke Qianxin is found.
The army was recuperating at Zenkoji Temple, waiting for the reinforcements from the Kanto Palace to come and join them. "
Uesugi Teruhu sent his own ninja tribe, Xuanyuan Zhong, to Kawanaka Island. No matter whether Yiyin is an escapee or a prisoner, he must have information before he can act.
Among the troops, Maori Jingguang's unit suffered the least losses. However, Terutora Uesugi could not trust her on this matter, so he sent Naoe Keizuna's troops to guard the ferry.
The army is tired from fighting hard, so rewards should have been used to inspire their morale. However, Shiba Yoshigan disappeared, and everyone had different ideas, so Uesugi Teruhu had to put it aside.
When Okuma Asahide and Shima Katsuruo of the Kanto Palace received the news and led their troops to come to the rescue, the strength to support the entry into Kawanaka Island became stronger.
If there had been no news of Yoshigan Shiba at that time, Teruhora Uesugi would have forcibly ordered the army to go south again.
Even if he fights Takeda Harunobu again, he must find Yoshigan Shiba!
———
The Uesugi Army was in turmoil because of the disappearance of Shiba Yoshigan.
Where is Yiyin at this time? Turning his attention back to the battlefield, Yiyin was shocked.
His mount galloped all the way east. On the chaotic battlefield, Takeda's army collapsed in such a chaotic manner that no one could see where he was going.
It wasn't until they ran out of the battlefield and approached the bank of the Chikuma River that the war horse was reined in by Yoshigoshi and stopped by the river.
Just when he took a breath, the horse whined and turned over.
Yiyin's heart thumped, not good, and he quickly jumped in the opposite direction.
But his reaction was still a beat too slow. He turned over and dismounted not as fast as the war horse, and hit the ground hard.
He screamed, tears streaming down his face from the pain. Fortunately, I pulled away quickly enough and just twisted my left foot, so it wasn't a big problem.
Yiyin wiped the sweat and tears from his face with his sleeves and looked around.
He was not a local aboriginal and was not familiar with geography. He only knew that when he ran out of the battlefield to the east, the big river here must be the Chikuma River.
The Chikuma River flows from south to north, and when he wants to return to the territory controlled by Uesugi Teruhora, he also goes all the way north.
Yoshigan looked back at the battlefield, and the sound of killing in the distance gradually became subdued. The Uesugi Army should be retreating, and the Takeda Army was following in pursuit, not paying attention to the Chikuma River for the time being.
He had to use this time to quickly leave the Takeda family's territory to be safe.
This time he charged into the battle unparalleled and killed no less than twenty concubines of the powerful Takeda family, as well as several important ministers.
If he is caught at this time, the jealous Takeda family may not care about the sword on his body and worry about his identity as a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi.
This would be an unjust death.
Yiyin gritted his teeth. The spear was gone. He could only use the scabbard of the knife as a staff, endured the pain in his left foot, and walked north.
The Takeda army cleaning the battlefield will inevitably find the dead horse, which will also reveal his location.昘戅 Yunxuan Pavilion y uXua 戅
There is no time to delay at this time and you must leave quickly.
As he walked, his brain quickly started to search for the most suitable path.
The Chikuma River merges with the Saikawa River to the north, but Uesugi's military force is north of the Saikawa River, and the ferries along the way must be closely monitored by the Takeda family, making it difficult to cross.
Now the only option is to go to Hiroseguchi, cross the Chikuma River, and go north along the east coast.
The Takeda family controlled the east bank of the Chikuma River from Kaizu Castle to Takanashi Castle. With the fierce battle on the Hachimangahara battlefield, the military here was drained away, making it as safe as darkness under the lamp.
Yoshigan can pass through Hiroseguchi in the north of Kaijin Castle, walk along the east coast to the Suzaka area, and then find the ferry back to the west coast to go to Zenkoji Temple.
After thinking through his thoughts clearly, Yiyin thought that there was no problem, so he quickly left north with his sword in its scabbard.
———
The east bank of Hiroseguchi and the mountains form a narrow river bank line. To the north of Suzaka, there is a somewhat spacious valley and flat land.
There are five mountain people hiding in the forest not far to the north of Hiroseguchi, squatting furtively in the forest.
The killing sound of Hachimanhara soared into the sky in the distance, and even after crossing the Chikuma River, it could still be heard faintly.
A skinny mountain man shook his body uneasily and whispered to the mountain man in front of him.
"Sister, are we going to stay here?"
"What do you want if you don't guard? Are you going to rush across the river?"
The leader of the mountain people had rotten teeth, looked at the cowering woman behind him with his triangular eyes, and cursed.
"I shouldn't have brought you idiot here. Just shut up if you don't understand. You're talking nonsense!"
The mountain man who asked the question laughed dryly and was scolded by the leader, who said something good to persuade him.
The leader cursed for a while and took a breath.
They are all fellow villagers, and since they are all related to each other, they can be considered useful people. She also had to show off to reassure people.
The woman with triangular eyes pointed at the battlefield and said.
"The Ji warriors are fighting there, how dare we get close? If we kill you and me with red eyes, we are just killing two bed bugs.
If you want to go to me, I'm not that stupid. "
The humble mountain man smiled and said.
"Sister, didn't you say you would take me out to make a big deal? If it succeeds, you'll make sure I don't starve to death this winter?"
The leader sneered and said.
"Nonsense, whether the deal is successful or not depends on God's will, I'm just a p.
Let's just wait here. If the defeated Lord Ji Samurai passes by alone, we will kill her!
Pull out all the things on your body and sell them. Anyway, it won't be a problem to get a bite of food for the winter. "
The humble mountain man was stunned and asked.
"What if there is no one left alone?"
"Then go back and suffer the cold! Are you stupid?"
The leader was too lazy to argue with this fool, and motioned for her to shut up and squat, staring at the trap in front of him without making a sound.
The mountain people are poor and starve every winter. Rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone these tough mountain women.
After the autumn harvest, the Wu family would go to war, so they took the opportunity to recruit a few lone Ji warriors to get Maodong's supplies.
Life has been like this for hundreds of years. Luo samurai hunting is how these mountain people support their families.
On weekdays, there were fights between the little lords, but they still dared to get closer.
This time Hachimanhara is fighting two kings. Who dares to get close to the battlefield at the risk of their lives?
Thousands of Hime warriors with tens of thousands of ashigaru are killing people. They rush in to seek death!
The leader of the mountain people was too lazy to have sex with the new idiot. If he hadn't been a relative from his own village, he would have stabbed him to death and thrown him into the ravine to avoid being an eyesore.
Since they didn't dare to get close to the battlefield, they could only set up an ambush on the periphery and wait for the opportunity. It depends on whether this is a good year or whether it will be cold or not.
The leader of the mountain people suddenly stooped and signaled to the mountain people behind her to prepare. She saw a fat sheep.
An unarmored warrior injured his left leg and hobbled towards the trap they had set. With no one in front or behind, it was the opportunity to take action.
When the man reached the center of the trap, she shouted.
"Pull up!"
Four mountain people behind him desperately pulled up the rope. Fallen leaves were flying on the ground. The net bag hidden underneath lifted the person into the air and tied him firmly.
When he heard the man exclaiming in pain, the leader jumped out to take a look and laughed.
"He's still a hunk, sisters, happy!"
She licked a rotten tooth with her tongue and looked at the Wu family boy in the net, feeling a violent desire in her heart.
