When the sound of hurried and light footsteps came to his ears, Saito knew that Teruko Akai had arrived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Saito-sama, what are you calling me for?"

"Of course, it's about the guards of Uozu Castle."

Although Saito Toshizo replied like this, his face was extremely strange, not only him, but even Kanethiro Higuchi, who had always been strange to moths, also looked confused.

“…… What is it? ”

Keiko asked again, but she immediately noticed the bag between Rizo, Kentoyo, and Fujigami Ichi, as well as the folded note next to the bag.

"Masaka...... Is it Zozo-sama's 'trick' again? ”

Even though she had to admit that Sasa Naruma was like a god, but this kind of thing happened to her, Keiko was still a little disgusted, and she quickly unfolded the note, just like Saito Rizo, and opened her mouth wide in shock.

It turned out that the second strategy left by Sasa Naruma was to order a new horse riding team led by Teruko Akai!

Even the name, Sasa Seimasa has thought of it for Keiko, called the "Knights of Women".

However, Sasa Narumasa only mentioned the formation of a cavalry team and the appointment of a commander, but he did not mention at all what the size of the cavalry team was and what kind of battle plan it would carry out after it was formed.

At the end of the so-called "clever plan", it was just a hasty writing for Keiko to "act when the opportunity arises".

Akai Teruko's face darkened a little, and she was speechless for Sasa Naruma's inconsistency, but for some reason, her heart was strangely budding.

The Order of Women, and the First Commander of the Order...... Does this mean that Keiko can finally realize her dream of fighting on the battlefield?

Does this mean...... Trapped in a cage for a long time and living in Sasa's house as a hostage, she finally has the opportunity to break away from the identity of "hostage" and soar as a Ji samurai?

Almost after a few moments of thought, Keiko had already decided to follow Narumasa's instructions, and she looked up at Saito Rizo and said tentatively:

"If I form a Knights of the Women, then I ...... her"

She and Narita Kai are relatives, so Narita Kai can also be regarded as a hostage to contain her Akai Teruko, but Narita Kai is also familiar with martial arts, and if she can also join the Knights, it should be a great help for Keiko.

Saito Rizo is sophisticated, and of course he understands what Akai Teruko is going to say, and immediately replied:

"Princess Narita is no different, the lord said before he left, Akai-sama is a trustworthy person."

"Thank you, Lord Saito! That being the case, I will organize myself tonight and leave the city tomorrow. ”

Teiko solemnly bowed to Saito Rizo.

The Fuji God on the side was still very confused, and couldn't help but speak:

"How many people does this riding team need? After it is formed, how to fight? You just said that you were going out of the city, did you mean to die? ”

Kanetoyo Higuchi sighed softly and said:

"The so-called exit of Akai Lord is not to go to the main force of the strong bow and smash the crowd, but to break through and go to Echigo for help...... Akai-sama, I guessed correctly, right? ”

"Yes, although the defenders of Uozu Castle can be called elite, they are limited by their strength and cannot fight back at all. Military law is cloudy, soft and undefensible, and our army's blind defense will not solve any problems. The greatest reliance that Lord Sasa relied on to settle Echichu was His Royal Highness the Kanto Governor of Kasuga Mountain Castle, so I will take someone to Kasuga Mountain Castle to ask for help! ”

Hearing Teruko's countermeasures, Saito Rizo was still expressionless, while Higuchi Kanetoyo and Fuji Kamiichi nodded in unison, obviously agreeing with this approach in their hearts.

"Then, please go and prepare it immediately, Higuchi-sama, please help her."

"Hay!"

That night, Akai Teruko collected the only 100 horses left in the castle and selected the 60 strongest horses to serve as the knights' warhorses.

The members of the Knights are mainly from various wealthy clans, hostages of daimyos, and the Hime samurai, who are better at riding in the Echigo early strike group. Keiko even considered taking Usami Nami with him to Kasuga Yama Castle, but Nami had to stay behind to command the battle of the Echigo early strike group, much to Keiko's regret.

At dawn the next day, the gates of Uozu Castle were quietly opened.

Teruko Akai took the lead, riding a brown horse, a small lark, and rushed in the direction of the east of the city.

Behind her, Narita Kai and Katakura Kita were left and right, and after that, there were twenty-seven samurai in a row. They have two horses for one person, which can be described as a luxury, but if there is not enough horsepower available, how can they penetrate the endless crowd and kill back to Echigo for help?

In an instant, the vibration of two hundred and forty horses' hooves on the ground woke up a crowd that was still asleep.

They hurried out of the tents and the longhouse, avoiding every pedestrian who rushed at them, like headless flies.

Akai Teiko and the Knights of Women under her command were like sharp spears, stabbing a deep wound in the loose and wide camp of the crowd.

Not surprisingly, the Knights of Women will soon be able to gouge through the camp of the crowd, and then march away in the light of the rising sun.

Such a battle, of course, also alarmed the leaders of the crowd.

The boy who claimed to be "Shiina Nagayin" reacted faster than the monks of the Ichikozong sect and put on his armor with the help of the small surname.

After that, the Zen master Shimoma arrived, and the ninjas who had been planted in various parts of the camp also came.

"Uozu Castle has killed a cavalry team and is breaking through in the direction of Echigo!"

Endure the concise and effective news brought back, "Shiina Nagayin" nodded with satisfaction, and turned his head to look at the Zen master Shimoma:

"Master, at the moment, Uozu Castle knows that it can't stop the offensive of our army, so he sent a cavalry team to break through in the direction of Echigo. At this time, whether to send elite troops to intercept and completely cut off their chance of victory, or ......"

Changyin wanted to speak and stopped, but what he didn't finish was known to everyone.

What Chang Yin hesitated was whether to gather all the elites to take down the Knights of Women, or to send more troops to attack the city, and strive to break the city as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the official of the lower room was also hesitant, called the ninja, and repeatedly asked about the details of this horse riding team.

"The master's direct monks, do you have the confidence to stop this cavalry team?"

Shiina Nagayin began to urge, but he also knew that this level of urging might not have any effect.

"Nope! Ignore this riding team! The defense force of Uozu Castle was already very weak, and if these thirty samurai were removed, it would definitely be even weaker. Our people, even if they can fight again, but lack war horses, they can't outrun their four-legged ones, but if our army captures Uozu Castle, it will be tantamount to drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, even if this horse team can return to Echigo, it is already a source of water, and it will eventually be cut off! ”

"Ayi, wakatha."

"Herald! Siege the city with all your might! (To be continued.) )
