Shangping Temple City.
When the morning mist enveloped the earth and a touch of fish belly white began to appear in the east, Master Sanlang had already gotten up and prepared to start the day's study.
Although he is familiar with the various military strategies collected at home, Master Sanlang still enjoys it. His thirst for knowledge has made Master Sanlang a "student master"!
Of course, while reading the book, Master Saburo's martial arts skills have not been neglected, and he still insists on fighting and contacting Akao Kiyosuna and others every day. In the past, Master Saburo could only fight against Gensuke Mitsui, but now he can fight inextricably with samurai who have already entered the Yuanfu such as Akao Kiyozuna and Endo Kyouyo.
Master Sanlang is very satisfied with his growth over the past few years.
"After all, we are no longer the powerless fishing line in future generations. In such troubled times, we can only survive if we are strong!"
Just when Master Saburo left his military strategy book and was about to ask Akao Kiyosuna to practice his skills, he was attracted by the sound of hurried footsteps.
"Asami Tsushima is back!" The voice was obviously a female voice, but her tone was also mixed with panic and anxiety.
Master Saburo couldn't help but wonder, "Didn't Tsuimamori go out into battle with my father? Why did he come back today? Could it be that the battle is over?"
"But, how could it be so fast?" An ominous premonition suddenly surged into Master Sanlang's heart.
At this time, Mrs. Qinchuan also inquired and rushed over. She was led by two maids to the front yard of the residence. When she saw Asami Sadatsuki covered in blood, Mrs. Kotokawa immediately became anxious, "Tumamoru, why do you look like this? Where is His Highness? Where are the others? What happened?"
Mrs. Kotogawa asked several questions in succession, and at the same time she was secretly praying that nothing would happen to Kyogoku Takahiro.
Asami Sadatsuki took a breath, then struggled to sit up from the ground, "Madam, I am ashamed of my family!"
"In the battle of Shangban City, my family was completely defeated. I fought my way out of the siege only after fighting to the death. I didn't receive any news from my lord!!!"
"But don't worry, madam, Asai Ryomasa will not dare to do anything to the lord. Asai Ryomasa will never bear the name of regicide. My lord, I think he will be fine!" But even Asami Sadame himself couldn't bear to say this. How can you believe it and how can you be convincing?
Sure enough, after hearing Asami Sadatsuki's words, Mrs. Kotokawa became so excited that she fainted. The two maids on the side were also frightened and quickly helped Mrs. Qinchuan up. The more clever maid had already run to call the doctor.
At this time, Master Saburo came to Asami Sadame's side with a gloomy face, and pulled Asami Sadame up from the ground, "Tsima Mamoru, what happened over there in Uesaka Castle!"
"How can it be possible for more than 1,500 troops to be defeated at the drop of a hat!" A joint battle with thousands of people like this, and a cage battle, usually lasts for ten and a half days, unless the other side has an overwhelming advantage. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a complete collapse in one day.
Not only Master Saburo was confused, but Asami Sadatsuki was also confused.
"Master Saburo's Hall, in the battle of Uesaka Castle, I and Mr. Mitsui are the front line. According to the family's plan, I and Mr. Mitsui are responsible for containing most of the Asai family's troops outside Uesaka Castle, and then Mr. Kobori and Mr. Uesaka Daisuke Uesaka Jibe in the castle suddenly attacked Asai Ryomasa's main formation."
"Just imagine, if our formation is attacked, the Asai family's troops in front will naturally be in chaos. If my lord leads the troops of this formation to join forces below and pursue Mitsui-sama together, we will most likely win."
"But the strange thing is that when Mr. Kobori and the special forces in Uesaka Castle began to surprise the Asai family's main formation, the Asai family's troops in front not only did not retreat, but they fought harder and harder!"
"At this time, although the lord led the army to give our family the upper hand, they were still unable to repel the Asai family! Not long after, Asai Ryomasa suddenly appeared on the flank of the battlefield and launched an attack on our family. Just when the lord ordered to retreat, Aguan Zhenzhong suddenly blocked our retreat."
"Besieged on three sides, our troops were in chaos, and the Ashigaru fled in panic. I managed to break out of the siege, but I was separated from my lord."
"Then I ran all the way back and came here to report this to Madam!" Asami Sadame's eyes were red. Counting the previous two times, this was the third time that Asai Ryomasa was defeated. Asami Sadame is true. Not willing to give in!
"Tima Mamoru, send out the men in the city immediately, and be sure to find out the details of Uesaka Castle!"
"In addition, immediately mobilize all men between the ages of 15 and 60 in Kamiheiji Castle, Oyama Castle, Mitsui Castle, and Nagahi Castle!"
"Gensuke, you and Sonzaburo (Akao Kiyosuna) immediately check the armory in Kameiji Castle and count the number of weapons and equipment!"
"Zaemon (Kyouyo Endo), block the news. Not a single word of the news of Uesaka Castle's defeat can be spread out of this residence!"
The jaw-dropping arrangement is so orderly and reasonable that even Asami Sadatsuki can't find any fault with it! What surprised Asami Sadame most was that Master Saburo was 10 years old this year. Even Asami Sadame could not have thought of such a detailed arrangement in such a short time.
For a moment, Asami Sadatsuki looked at Master Saburo differently.
When the dazzling sun appeared overhead, it was already past noon.
The situation in Shangban City finally came to light.
"Madam, after the investigation report, the master is not in danger and is currently in Uesaka Castle."
"In addition, according to the oral accounts of two peasant soldiers who escaped, Lord Kobori's surprise attack team was intercepted by the Asai family's troops just after they arrived at the foot of Katsuyama Mountain near Anegawa. After a melee, Lord Kobori was defeated and began to collapse, and then The Asai family began to give chase, and what happened after that is temporarily unknown.”
"Uesaka Castle's raiding team was ambushed when they raided our formation, and without the support of Lord Kobori, they began to collapse after fighting for an hour."
"In the end, the Asai family's troops rushed to the battlefield one after another and formed an encirclement of our family. As a result, our family was severely defeated. In the chaos, the lord and more than 40 people fled to Uesaka Castle, and our family suffered heavy casualties!" Inside the Kyogoku residence hall, The Lord of Kashiwara Castle, Kyogoku Hidetsuna, reported to Mrs. Kotokawa who was sitting in the main seat in a panic, with a frightened look on his face.
Mrs. Kotokawa weakly said, "Soujie Kami (Kyogoku Hidetsuna), Your Highness is trapped in Uesaka Castle. The situation is critical. You must think of a solution!"
"Don't worry, madam, I will do my best to rescue my lord!" Kyogoku Hidetsuna tried to calm Mrs. Kotokawa's emotions, but with little success.
At this time, Master Sanlang suddenly walked into the hall holding a sword. Although it was very rude to intrude suddenly, Master Sanlang couldn't control that much. Just as he was about to speak, a detective rushed in first.
"Oh no! Horijirozaemon, the lord of Kamazana Castle, is out in battle, and the target seems to be our Kamehira Castle!"
"What!" After the detective said, Kyogoku Hidetsuna and Asami Sadatsuki stood up from the ground. If the author hadn't allowed it, the two of them would have started "mmp" at this time.
