A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"It's over, it's over! It's over!"

"I'll tie him up and give him twenty lashes first to make him sober up! And gag him too!"

At first glance, they were soldiers of the Uesugi Army, but they were disheveled, confused, and covered in mud. He didn't know how much defeat he had suffered before he fled here in such a state of despair. Xiao Ping was extremely surprised.

Everyone looked at Xiaoheita, and everyone had some guesses about what happened to the Uesugi army.

"Group your troops immediately and go down to camp. Everyone, return to camp and prepare for battle!"

"Yuanjiang Palace, if you are able, please do your best and go to the Yi (shield) Yong (shield) soldiers' camp to sit in place to prevent riots!"

"Qi Gui, raise the royal white flag and my horse mark so that the whole army can see it!"

The generals circled their horses back to the camp one after another. Kodaita defended the main camp of the Chinese army, Takanashi Masarai was behind with 5,000 men to challenge, and Nagano Yamori was in the lead with 3,300 men. Imagawa Yoshimika led the 800 governor of Imagawa Makino, Inagi (shielded) Yong (shielded) with about 6,000 soldiers, located in the rear of the camp in the center of the formation.

Originally, we were not planning to fight today. Each team had already been preparing to set up camp. Military orders were passed down and all were obeyed.

On the one hand, Koheita also asked Takanashi Masarai to ride a hundred horses for the public, and the Nagano clan's envoys would cooperate to form ten teams. Search east to see what's going on to the east.

If you can encounter a large-scale defeated Uesugi army, it would be best to receive them directly outside the camp so that Xiaopingta can understand the situation.

Not long after Mononomi set off, there were broken soldiers in twos and threes who fled here. They were all miserable and panic-stricken, and they did not have the heroic appearance of Echigo's elite soldiers in the past.

When they saw the military camp of Koheita and Takanashi Masarai, their knees went weak, and they fell to the ground and burst into tears. After escaping for a long time, I finally met my relatives.

Koheita is Uesugi Teruatora's "adopted brother", and Takanashi Masayori is Uesugi Teruatora's uncle. After many years of fighting friendship, they belong to people who can absolutely be trusted.

When asked to defeat the soldiers, there is a samurai Feng Gong who can organize his language smoothly, speak well, and think clearly. After comforting him for a while, giving him hot soup and a rice ball, he calmed down completely and brought him to Xiaopingtai and others for questioning.

"Where are you originally from? Who do you belong to?" Xiao Pingtai used as calm a tone as possible to avoid irritating this person.

"I am the lord of Hirabayashi Castle, Irobu's retainer, and the leader of the Ashigaru team, Fujiokada Sonbei."

"Where is the Sebu Repair Department now? Do you know?"

Taihe's heart sank when he heard that he was a subordinate of the Minister of Color. Anyone who is familiar with Echigo's military service certificate knows that Minister Se was the flag-bearing general of the Central and Vietnamese regions at that time, commanding about 2,000 people in Central and Vietnamese as the Lord of Hirabayashi Castle.

Although not all of the 2,000 people will be brought to the battlefield, and one third will be left behind, there will still be 1,230 people. Such a large reserve team was beaten to pieces and collapsed. How tragic was the battle?

"His Royal Highness is missing. I escaped by diving." Fujiokada Sonjiro shook his head. He really didn't know where Mr. Sei had gone, but it was good. At least he provided a clue that he escaped by diving.

"Guan Lingdian was ambushed when he was crossing the river?" Takanashi Masarai couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes, everyone in Ninja City was in chaos, and with a blow from behind, our army was halfway across the border and was caught off guard."

This person doesn't know any more details. After all, he is just a small ashigaru team leader, and he is also among the fastest ones. When he ran away, Uesugi Teruhu was still fighting in the formation, trying to break out. How could he know what would happen next.

After waving their hands to let this man go down, everyone was filled with doubts. What happened to Uesugi Teruhu? This is a big issue and must be clarified.

After several people discussed it, if Ninja City launched a rebellion, then Ninja, Qixi, Shangen, Shengu and other cities would all collapse. All surrendered to the Hojo Army, and Uesugi Teruhora might really have no way to escape.

Just as he was talking, the guards outside the tent helped someone in. Takanashi Masarai exclaimed, it was the color minister.

Everyone scrambled to get him to sit down and found a clean coat for him to put on. Xiaopingtai ordered someone to boil a pot of hot wine and gave it to Minister Shi.

After taking a big gulp of hot wine, his face became rosy and his body no longer trembled. After taking three or four sips, my whole body came to life.

After asking Takanashi Masayori, who was most familiar with him, the specific battle situation outside Ninja Castle was finally clear. How did the Uesugi army set up their formation, how did they face the enemy, and what kind of unexpected situation did they encounter in the end, which led to the collapse of the first move and chaos later.

As for whether Terutora Uesugi ran out or not, Minister Shiro said he didn't know. He had already hugged the horse's neck and ran away, and he didn't know who Uesugi Teruhora was in the formation at the end.

More and more Uesugi troops fled outside the camp. Koheta ordered them to cook soup and rice. At the same time, he sent people to supervise them and concentrated them on the fence outside the camp to prevent them from affecting their own troops.

After waiting for more than an hour, the two thousand Uesugi troops collapsed. Soon, many generals also appeared. They were discovered by Takanashi Jun's Monomiya, and were brought to Takanashi Masayori for identification one by one.

But Teru Uesugi's team never showed up. The sky turned dark and it started to rain again. In this situation, everyone couldn't help but worry.

In the end, Saito Asanobu, the spearman of Uesugi's main team, was finally found. Saito Asanobu, known as "Echigo Zhongkui", was in slightly better condition. He was fully armored and was followed by most of the guards' horses.

"What's going on with Your Highness?" Xiao Pingtai couldn't wait.

"His Highness and I broke out together and fled to Shengu City, but Shengu City refused to accept us. Instead, they sent troops to attack us. The army had no fighting spirit and was unable to resist. In the chaos, I was separated from His Highness, and I saw His Highness's banners surrounding him. Take the north road uphill."

"Quick, you personally lead two hundred riders and search the North Road ramp!" Takanashi Masarai got the exact news and asked Takanashi Hidemasa to quickly lead people to search and greet Uesugi Teruhora.

"No need!"

Everyone looked up and saw that although Terutora Uesugi was covered in blood and stains, he walked into the shogunate with steady steps.

Everyone went up to salute and let him sit on the main seat. Takanashi Masayori also stepped forward to ask Uesugi Teruhu whether he was injured or if there were any problems.

"Narita, Ninja Castle, I will never forget this hatred for the rest of my life, and I will definitely repay it tenfold." The scabbard in Uesugi Terutora's hand hit the ground heavily.

The attendant brought hot wine, and Teruhora Uesugi drank it down in one gulp before his expression softened.

"I'm sorry to bother you again, Heita Koheta, please gather the troops for me." Uesugi Teruhora said and bowed his head to Heita Koheta.

"I don't dare to take credit for things that are my job." Koheta returned the gift and then looked at Uesugi Teruhora.

The meaning is obvious, what’s the next step? Do you have any charter? Do you have any plans?

"Oh, I'm afraid the Echigo people won't be able to fight anymore!" Uesugi Teruhora sighed.

When Xiaopingtai heard this, he became anxious. What do you mean? Are you going to abandon all the reinforcements and leave?
