In Vietnam, more than 60 rode all the way to the east.

At this time, Uesugi Teruhu was unusually excited, she really liked to fight and win battles.

Yiyin was frowning beside him, this road was too peaceful, and there was no obstruction and interrogation at all.

He exchanged a few words of concern with Naoe, causing Uesugi Terutora to slow down and sit side by side with him.

"Don't worry, the strength of the Shenbao family is only more than 100,000 stones, and when it comes to spring ploughing, the Shenbao long-term job can't play tricks.

She must have chosen to stop me with an army in the way I must pass, to spare my life. ”

Yiyin saw that she had a battle to fight, and she was very excited, and she was angry.

"Even if you guess right, you can't take it lightly.

War is a matter of life and death, and the rise and fall of a family. Sister Shirt, you have to be more cautious. ”

His words made Uesugi Terutora interested and asked.

"Oh? In the eyes of Qian Xingong, what is the purpose of fighting? ”

Yiyin said solemnly.

"It's to protect the people you care about, to keep unacceptable tragedies from happening in your sight, to keep your soul quiet and your responsibilities."

Uesugi Terutora was stunned, then laughed and almost fell off his horse.

Yiyin was nervous before the war, and inevitably showed some sincerity, and was laughed at like this, and immediately became angry and reprimanded.

"Is it that ridiculous?"

Seeing that he was ashamed, Uesugi Terutora shook his head again and again and said.

"No, I'm not laughing, I'm just emotional.

Qianxin Gong is proud, but he is a man after all, and this innocence is worth guarding with my life. ”

Her affectionate words, but instead of Yiyin's favor, she got a blank eye.

"Are you talking about my husband's kindness?"

Seeing that it was counterproductive, Huihu smiled and said seriously.

"This is a troubled time, humble and faithful, human life is like grass mustard, and the cherry blossoms bloom and wither in an instant.

Your beliefs are kind, but in order to protect your innocence, I don't know how many people have to bear the price silently behind you. ”

Yiyin scoffed, not wanting to say any more, whipping twice, the war horse rushed out of a distance in pain, and no longer walked side by side.

Behind him, Uesugi Terutora looked at him with doting eyes, not taking his faux pas to heart.

No matter how stubborn he is, he is a man after all, and he doesn't really understand the cruelty of the martial arts society.

Uesugi Teruto's mother is under the gram, she underestimates how many dirty methods and despicable tricks Echigo has in the country, and naturally knows that the samurai dispute cannot tolerate the slightest good thought.

The profligate wreckage is because it can see through. The defeat of the samurai is the biggest mistake, as long as you can win, everything is right.

Humility and honesty, every bit of your innocence must be burdened by someone behind you.

A bit of your humanity is to be exchanged for someone else's very animalistic nature.

I just don't know, where these people are silently enduring and guarding your smile.

Uesugi Terutora tightened the reins in his hand, and the horse rushed up.

From this day forward, count me as well.

———

Echichu is a territory in the middle of Hokuriku Province bordered by Toyama Bay to the north, and its territory is sandwiched between Toyama Bay and the Hida Mountains in a U-shape.

The hills and rivers in the territory are densely populated, especially in the border area between the county of Oshi and the county of Shinkawa, and the complex terrain has become a natural dividing line between the two territories of Jimbo Shiina.

The Jimbo Chronicle broke through the Kamito River to build Toyama Castle, and it was also a river-shaped river that was advanced step by step, compressing the territory of the Shiina family.

Although it was attacked head-on by Uesugi Teruto, the river blocked and the logistics were not smooth, and at the end of the year, the army had to retreat to Echigo for repairs.

The territory of Shinkawa-gun, between the Jintong River and the Shiraiwa River, is still in the hands of the Jimbo chief.

The bottom of the U-shaped territory between Toyama Bay and the Hida Mountains is in this area, and there are few routes to choose from.

Ueno Castle in the south is stuck in the mountain path into the Hida Mountains, and Uesugi Terutora is naturally not stupid enough to storm the castle with a samurai on horseback.

Well, there aren't many options to go to Omorikawa.

The mountains and rivers here are tight, the water is turbulent, and the spring tide rises after the snow melts in spring, which restricts the movement of the cavalry.

Only the river bed around the Horse Mouth is gentle, and the water depth at this time does not submerge the foot, so it is the only place suitable for Uesugi Teruhu to cross on horseback.

Jimpo Nagashi had been waiting here for five days, and she didn't believe that Nagao Keitora (Uesugi Teruto) had other options.

Half of the spring ploughing has passed, and Long-tailed Jinghu must return to China immediately, if it is slow, she will face beacons everywhere.

The chief of the divine protection was calm, but the Terashima job who came to help was a little impetuous, and said.

"Your Highness, it's all this time, and there is no trace of the long-tailed Jinghu, is there any change in the women's county."

The chief of the priesthood glanced at her.

Terashima Ichijo took the initiative to lead the retainers of the Jimboho family in the area of Shinkawa County to come to support.

Although there was a shortage of manpower in the spring ploughing season, they still made up thirty or fifty samurai, more than two hundred ashiba.

Although he knew that she had selfish intentions, he was still very satisfied with this attitude of taking the initiative to serve the public, and he had comforted her many times these days.

But today's words made the Divine Protector frown a little.

The contradiction between the new leader samurai and the old leader samurai is deepening, and Terashima is pouring dirty water on the small island town of the women's negative county behind her back, slandering her for secretly colluding with Nagao Jinghu.

As soon as the chief of the jimbo wanted to speak, a Ji samurai rushed in from outside the shogunate and kowtowed.

"Your Highness, there is movement, and there are more than sixty horsemen and warriors coming this way."

The chief of the god rose from the ground and walked out quickly, commanding as he went.

"Troops!

Lined up along the river, with three more guns, rejecting horse guns, large naginatas, and bows and arrows, and the people followed me. ”

On the east bank of the station, the Jinbo chief stationed troops on the east bank of the river, and strictly guarded the mouth of the horse, which was to prevent the samurai on horseback from raiding the pass.

In the spring ploughing season, she has less than 200 warriors in her hands, and more than 400 standing achi.

In addition, the reinforcements of Terashima were not completely sure that they would leave the long-tailed Jinghu, so they could only rely on the riverbed and bows to prevent the cavalry from charging into battle.

The commanders of the Shenbao are all directly subordinate elites, busy but not chaotic, and when they can see the cavalry on the other side approaching, they are already in full battle.

On the west bank, Yiyin's heart trembled when he saw the tight military formation, it was not worth it if he forcibly charged the battle to kill many elites.

He asked, looking back.

"Sister Shirt, is there any other way?

Now that we have determined that the chief of the gods is here, we can completely get rid of them at the speed of our cavalry, cross the river in another place, and cross the border without a fight. ”

Uesugi replied while carefully observing the other side.

"The area around the Omori River is a torrent cliff in the north, and the mountain road in the south is stuck in Ueno Castle.

If you don't want to cross the river here, then we have to go south and attack the city.

Most of the three-day rations and beans that I carried with me have been consumed, and I can't get through this Masekou today, so it's a little troublesome. ”

Yiyin frowned when he heard this, no matter how uncomfortable the field battle is, it is better than a siege, not to mention that the supply is close to running out.

You can only fight.

He tentatively walked to the riverbed, and found that the water was gentle, only the horse's hooves were submerged, and he could cross the river directly on horseback, no wonder Uesugi Terutora and Jimbo Nagashi recognized this place.

Since I don't have a choice, I have to make some small means in the battle, so let's give a dismount first.
