Chapter 31: Impasse

The war between the Murakami family and the Takanashi family fell into a state of anxiety, and the defense of Zenkoji Temple was so good that even Murakami Yoshikiyo couldn't think of a good way, so he could only besiege it first.

And this time is the hottest time in Beixin, which lasts until the end of August, and the temperature is around 30 degrees.

Fighting under the scorching sun is a very morale-testing thing, and Ogasawara has long been neglected to prevent being raided by the Takeda family because the weather is too hot.

Murakami Yoshikiyo is also worried about this now, what happened on the battlefield is clear to him, but Zenkoji Temple is built on a high mountain, and attacking from the back will only cause heavy casualties among the soldiers.

The most important thing is that he has suffered heavy losses in attacking Takanashi Masayori here, and he will definitely not have the strength to help Kiyohide Kiyono at that time.

Murakami Yoshikiyo looked at Zenkoji Temple in the distance and frowned.

As for Ueda Nobukata, he is now a celebrity, and the killing of Yasuda Saemon made him famous, and Iwashita Kiyoshi is still a young man, sixteen years old this year, and when he walks in other camps, he will tell about Ueda Nobukata's bravery.

And Yasuda Saemon said before he died, "Shinano evil ghosts, worthy of the name!" It also spread the word "Iwashita Kiyoshita", and now everyone agrees with the name Shinano evil ghost.

Ueda Nobukata loosened his armor slightly, and the hat was kept aside, he fanned the wind and frowned: "I haven't taken a bath for several days, this clothes are wet and dry, and the whole person stinks." ”

Iwasita took off his armor early, and said with a smile: "I let you take it off a long time ago, and I don't know what you're wearing, the Takanashi family is a shrunken turtle, ah~ boring." ”

Ueda Nobukata shook his head and said: "Last time, when I went down to the Ogasawara Guardian Palace, his soldiers were raided by the Takeda family because of the hot weather and lax defense, and they were almost beaten and lost their armor and collapsed.

If it hadn't been for the horizontal intervention of the lower hand and the early stabilization of the Suwa Westerners, the Ogasawara Guardian Hall would probably have died in Shiojiri. ”

Iwashita Naka shook his head and said, "Impossible, the Takanashi family has always been like this, if they can't win the battle, they will hide in the city, and in the winter there will be a truce." ”

When Ueda Nobukata heard this, he immediately felt miserable, he was itching all over his body now, and it was estimated that he could detain his skin, he sighed and said: "It's not a way to go on like this, I have to find a place with water to wash it." ”

Ueda Nobukata got up and left the station, just in time to meet Mitsumasa Ueshiro.

Yayomitsumi looked at Ueda Nobukata and got angry, and asked, "Ueda, where are you going?" ”

Ueda Nobukata said nonchalantly: "Manmasa, I want to find a stream to take a bath." ”

Yadai Manzheng subconsciously frowned and said: "Nonsense, the enemy is now, how can you still have the heart to think about taking a bath, and now go back to your place!" ”

Ueda Nobukata squinted at Yashiro Mitsumasa, and the anger in his heart rose with the temperature.

Yadai Manmasa was different, he looked at Ueda Nobukata's eyes, and felt a chill in his heart, no matter how hot the temperature outside was, it was also cold all over.

Ueda Nobukata quickly returned to normal and said with a smile: "What Man Zhengyu said is right, I will return to my position in the next place." ”

Yashiro Mitsutsu watched Ueda Nobukata turn around and leave, and suddenly felt ashamed, and shouted angrily in a low voice: "Ueda Nobukata! I'm going to kill you! ”

Iwashita Naka saw that Ueda Nobukata was back again, and wondered, "Didn't you go to take a bath, why did you come back again?" ”

Ueda Nobukata found a cooler place, sighed and said, "Ah, I met a guy who was full of bad luck, but he couldn't offend him, life, it's really depressing." ”

Iwasita knew something, and he frowned and said, "Xinfang, in this family, going against the three big guys is not conducive to the future, so it's better to ask for their understanding as soon as possible." ”

Ueda Nobukata waved his hand and said, "I know, Uncle Iwashita, this matter can be resolved sooner or later." "Ueda Nobukata didn't say everything, he will solve the whole family of the three big guys in the future!

At this time, Iwasita Kiyoshita, who went out, came back, and he fetched a lot of water and came back.

As soon as Ueda Nobukata heard the sound of water rippling in the barrel, he immediately bounced up and shouted, "As soon as you clear the water, give me a little water and wipe your body!" ”

Ueda Nobukata's station is a mile away from Zenko-ji Temple, and their station does not have tents or anything like that, so they sleep directly on the ground, and the camp is very simple.

Basically, their movements were completely monitored by the Takanashi family in Zenko-ji Temple.

However, Takanashi Masayori did not dare to go out, although he saw that the Murakami army was very lazy, and many soldiers looked for a shady place to hide, but he was afraid that this was Murakami's strategy to lure him out of the city.

Under his nose, there was only about one reserve number, more than three hundred people, but there must be more than one person in the Murakami family, and they must have been ambushed.

Takanashi Masayori saw Ueda Nobukata who had taken off his armor on the wall, frowned and said, "That Ueda Nobukata hasn't removed his armor for a few days, and it must be strange to remove his armor today." ”

Yamada Hida Shou shook his head and said: "This person is strong in martial arts, if it weren't for the desperate protection of the guards around the minister, the minister would probably also be a head on his waist." ”

Captain Yamada Saemon frowned and said, "Shinano evil ghosts are indeed worthy of their reputation, and the minister has never seen a head tied to a belt and continue to fight.

The current situation is very unfavorable to the family, although the family occupies a favorable location, but the morale is not high, and if you continue to sit like this, I am afraid that other people's hearts will be dissatisfied. ”

Takanashi Masayori also frowned and asked, "What's the situation on the Takeda family's side, haven't they done it yet?" ”

Yamada Hida Mamoru shook his head and said, "I haven't heard any news, I'm afraid that this family was used by Takeda Harunobu." ”

Takanashi Masayori slapped it on the wooden wall and shouted, "Damn! Takeda Harunobu is a capricious villain, and I will definitely not let him go in the future. ”

Captain Yamada Saemon frowned and said, "Lord, then will we stay up like this?" ”

Takanashi Masayori nodded and said, "That's it, I don't believe that Takeda Harunobu can sit still, and the rebellion in Saku-gun will not be good for him if it drags on."

If we drag it out, in September, the weather will get cooler, and it will snow soon, and then Murakami Yoshikiyoshi will have to retreat if he doesn't retreat. ”

Takanashi Masayori wants to survive, but Murakami Yoshikiyo wants to end the war as soon as possible so that he can go to Sakugun to fight Takeda Harunobu.

As soon as Ueda Nobukata finished wiping his body, Iwasita ran and said, "Nobukata, the lord has changed his mind, and tomorrow he will launch an attack on the city."

When the time comes, we will be the first to attack. ”

Ueda Nobukata was a little surprised, Murakami Yoshikiyo was a veteran, and it was impossible for him to launch an attack so recklessly.

After a little thought, he knew that it was estimated that the Yadai family was making it bad, and this was the heart of the dead man.
