Chapter 430: Turn back
Compared to Uesugi Teruto's excitement, Yoshiin was much calmer, and the result was much better than he imagined.
Breaking through is to survive in the dead, and it is already a blessing to be able to escape half of the people.
Organize the queue carefully.
The Upper Shirts suffered the heaviest casualties, and Naoe Kanesu led them to stop the enemy troops, and then took the lead in attacking the ramp to resist the horses, and at this time there were only eight people left.
Tongxin also lost ten people, which made Yiyin's heart ache, and Yiyin found that Ishida Mitsunari was lucky not to die.
Her martial arts are inferior to the two Ji warriors, and she can save her life in the chaotic army, which is also clever and lucky.
Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's face was desolate, although she was only slightly injured, but all three disciples were folded in Matsukura Castle.
The swordsman is good at fighting alone, and he is not suitable for the battlefield array, and this battle is a death battle, so it is naturally difficult to get out.
She had high hopes for these three disciples, and now she had lost her beloved disciples, and her eyes were red. When I knew that it wasn't emotional, I couldn't help but speak, and silently followed the queue.
Yiyin gave her an apologetic look, remembering this favor in her heart.
If it weren't for the keen intuition of the old sword saint this time, a team of people would have really died in Matsukura City.
Now that I think about it, I still have lingering palpitations, but the situation is still not good, and it is not time to reminisce.
Seeing that Uesugi Huihu shouted a few words and vented his emotions, Yiyin stepped forward and said.
"Your Highness, the matter has come to this, let's think about how to get out of trouble first."
Uesugi Terutora nodded, she had almost calmed down, knowing that if the group stayed in the Shiina family's territory, there was still danger.
"We crossed the Katabei River to the east, and I sent troops last year, and asked for a few castles along the way as supply points, so that after replenishing the military supplies there, I could return to Echigo in a hurry."
Encountering the sudden attack of the Shiina family, the group was caught off guard, the food and grass on their bodies were only a day, and the weapons and armaments were very depleted, and they urgently needed to be replenished, but Yiyin shook his head and vetoed her idea.
"Yasuyin Shiina will definitely block the road to prevent us from going to Echigo, can you get the oath of allegiance from the nearby samurai?"
Uesugi Teruhu choked and sighed.
"It's not time yet."
Yiyin disagreed even more.
"That's a few lonely villages, the two of you have turned their faces, Shiina Yasuyin will never let go of these hidden dangers, and will definitely join forces to attack Zongni's soldiers.
If you don't have the allegiance of the local samurai, they won't have a reason to help.
With a deliberate calculation or not, under the hasty attack, I am afraid that the walled city will not last until we arrive. ”
Uesugi Terutora said irritably.
"Let's rush over before Yasuyin Shiina, can't we leave as soon as the supplies are ready?"
"People are sleepy and horses are tired, can you be faster than Shiina's envoy fast horse?"
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, can't you wait for death here?"
Uesugi Terutora didn't know that this was an adventure, but what could she do?
She only has a day's food and grass on her body, and she can't afford to fight again when her weapons are damaged, and she is helpless.
Yiyin didn't think so, he looked up at the sun that was about to set, and said.
"Before it gets dark, we crossed the Kadokawa River and rushed back to the Shiraiwa River overnight to go to the territory of the Jimbo family."
Uesugi Terutora said in astonishment.
"What are you going to do?"
"Yasuyin Shiina is not a fool, she has done such a desperate job this time, she will not let you return to Echigo alive.
She colluded with the Yuezhong Sect, and the two parties joined forces, and the road to Echigo was bound to be lifeless.
Only when we turn back and return to the territory of the Divine Protector can we have a glimmer of life.
The spring ploughing is not finished, and the strength in her hands is not enough to block the whole territory, so she will definitely choose the east side of the Echigo direction to strictly prevent the blockade.
We walked to the west overnight, and as long as we spared no horsepower, most of us would be able to get out of the territory of the Shiina family smoothly. ”
Uesugi shook his head in confusion.
"What about going back?
We just escaped from the military position of the Divine Protector, and now we are dead and dead when we go back.
I interrupted her conquest of Shincheon-gun, and she hated me to the bone and would not let me go. ”
Yiyin pointed to himself.
"If it's just you, you're going to die, but I'm here, and things are different.
I'm an envoy of the shogunate, and the Jimbohi family is the guardian of the Echichu guardian in the guardian system, and the Hatakeyama family was born as a retainer, so she has no reason to kill me.
I'm going to meet her and convince her to join forces with you. ”
"Joining forces? How can it be? ”
"It wouldn't have been, but now it's possible.
Shiina Yasuin colluded with Ichimune to ambush the Kanto governor and the shogunate envoys, and this matter must not be counted like this.
I will tell the shogunate and deprive her of her guardian duties. ”
Yiyin glanced at Uesugi Huihu and saw that she was thoughtful.
The system of the three guardians of Vietnam, the Hatakeyama clan came up with a way to control this territory far from the core area.
Resulting in a three-legged situation of the Yuzuo family, the Jimbo family, and the Shiina family, the Hatakeyama clan can be in the middle to check and balance, and serve as the guardian beyond the reach of this whip.
Although the power of the Hatakeyama clan declined after that, and they took the initiative to retract a few times, the system of the three guardians still affected Echichu.
The Echichu Yusa family declined, and the Echichu Ichijo clan occupied her family's original territory, while the Jimbo family and the Shiina family attacked each other.
Now that the Echichu Sect and the Shiina family are converging, the Jimbo family will be threatened by attacks from both sides, and the living environment will become difficult.
And Yoshiin used the shogunate to deprive Yasuyin Shiina of his position to tempt the god to protect the long position.
If the Shiina family loses the title of guardian generation, then the Echichu guardian generation will only be left with the Jimbo family.
Shiina Yasuyin took refuge in the Echichu Sect and lost his position as a guardian, and the samurai under his command were bound to waver.
This is a great benefit to the long-term position of the god who is determined to unify Yuezhong, and it depends on whether she is willing to eat this bait.
The function of the god chief is to revive the family business, and he has his own means, and he will not be such a persuasive Ji samurai.
However, this method has a higher probability of success than rushing to Echigo with a half-crippled cavalry.
Uesugi Teruto's face was uncertain, and Yiyin scolded.
"Sister Uesugi, you said that this mistake is your responsibility, and you will obey my orders completely. Do your words still count? ”
Uesugi Terutora gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I'm Uesugi Huihu to speak, and naturally count.
Listen to you, let's take advantage of the fact that the sky is not dark, cross the Kadokawa River, and run overnight to Toyama Castle, where the chief of the god is located, and we should be able to reach it in a day and night.
But you have to think clearly, it's an all-or-nothing gamble.
When we get there, we will run out of food, grass and horsepower, and we will not have many weapons and armaments on our bodies.
If the murderous intentions of the divine protector do not change, we can only wait to be killed, and we will not even have the ability to resist. ”
Yiyin nodded.
"I understand, but it's come to this, I have no choice, I can only gamble."
Uesugi Terutora smiled heroically.
"Since you know it in your heart, then I'll go with you, it's a big deal to be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks."
Yiyin glanced at her and snorted secretly.
He really won't necessarily die, no matter how long he is, he is also a generation of heroes who revive the family business.
It's good to kill Uesugi Huihu, what is the benefit of killing the envoy? It's only going to hurt the shogunate, so why bother.
But until the last minute, Yiyin will never give up on Uesugi Teruto.
The relationship between the two sides is getting deeper, even if he doesn't mention the problem of a system that fails to fail the mission, he wants to try his best to protect this troublesome rich second generation.
At this point, the group hurriedly set off by the afterglow before the sun went down.
———
Women's Negative County, Fire Palace Castle Residence
Kojima was frowning, listening to the complaints of several close martial artists in the county.
Half of the spring ploughing has passed, and the families have the energy to complain to her.
Ichihime Samurai said worriedly.
"Yuezhong has always been a feudal country for some days, and I don't know what these crazy nuns are doing, and they are always uneasy."
Kojima said with relief.
"The family governor is heroic and martial, and he will revive the family business, those nuns are not my opponents, don't worry."
The other Ji samurai was not convinced.
Kojima-sama said this, and I couldn't agree with it.
I heard that the lord failed to intercept the long-tailed Jinghu to return to the country a few days ago, but is there such a thing?
The Echigo samurai family has always been fierce, so why should my family fight hard with those brainless guys.
Since the soldiers are vulnerable, why didn't the governor choose Tombo County to conquer, and I didn't have to wait all day to worry about them from coming indiscriminately.
In the unlikely event that one day there is another rebellion, the county is the ancestral land where we have lived for generations, and the monastery must not be allowed to occupy it.
If those nuns really dare to fight, I'll fight with them! ”
Another Ji samurai scoffed.
"They don't have to be a fool, the village women are ignorant, and they have to worship the Buddha if they starve to death.
Over the years, the Zong has been bewitching fools and gathering believers in our territory, and I don't know how many people believe in it.
It's a day, it's a day. ”
Several people were noisy and shouting, some were excited and irritable, some were depressed, and Xiao Dao Zhizhen was depressed when he heard it.
She is a minister of the divine protection family, and family affairs rarely hide from her.
The chief of the god of protection blocked the shogunate mission, and she made a fuss, and she was clear.
I can't help but complain about the lord in my heart, and I don't know the difficulties of the women's county at all.
was searching for words to appease these local warriors, and a person rushed in from outside, shouting urgently.
"Lord Kojima, a cavalry army has rushed over from Tonami County, you should hurry up and take a look!"
The town of Kojima is puzzled, the Tonba County, which has always been dominated by the Yuezhong Sect, has long been closed to the country, where is the cavalry?
"How many are there?"
"More than one hundred and fifty horsemen, all equipped with two horses."
"What!"
