Chapter five hundred and eighty-ninth was hunted by fallen samurai
Terutora Uesugi said.
"I will send Xuanyuan ninjas to search for the whereabouts of Lord Kenshin in the Kawanaka Island area.
Naoe Keizuna, your troops are in full strength and are strictly guarding the crossings of the Xichuan River to pay attention to whether Lord Kenshin returns.
The other families reorganized their military service accounts and counted casualties and military achievements. As for rewards and rewards, we will wait until Duke Qianxin is found.
The army is recuperating at Zenkoji Temple and is waiting for the reinforcements from the Kanto Palace to come and join together."
Teruhora Uesugi sent his own Ninja Division and the Xuanyuan people to Kawanaka Island. Regardless of whether Yoshigashi escaped or was captured, there must be information before action can be taken.
Among the troops, Mouri Kehitora's troops suffered the least losses. However, Terutora Uesugi could not trust her on this matter, so he sent Naoe Keetsuna's troops to guard the ferry.
The army was exhausted after a hard battle, and they should have used rewards to inspire their morale. However, Yoshigashi Shiba disappeared, and everyone had different ideas, so Uesugi Teruhora had to put it aside.
When Okuma Asahide and Shima Katsuruo from the Kanto Palace received the news and led their troops to come to the rescue, they became more powerful in supporting the entry into Kawanaka Island.
If there had been no news of Yoshigan Shiba at that time, Terutora Uesugi would have forcibly ordered the army to move south again.
Even if we have another battle with Takeda Harunobu, we must find Yoshigan Shiba!
———
The Uesugi Army was in turmoil because of the disappearance of Yoshigoshi Shiba.
At this time, where was Yiyin? Turning his attention back to the battlefield, Yiyin was frightened.
His mount galloped all the way east. On the chaotic battlefield, Takeda's army collapsed in such a chaotic manner that no one could see where he was going.
It wasn't until they ran out of the battlefield and approached the bank of the Chikuma River that the war horse was reined in by Yoshigoshi and stopped by the river.
Just when he took a breath, the horse whined and turned over.
Yiyin's heart skipped a beat, not good, so he quickly jumped in the opposite direction.
But his reaction was still a little slow. He turned over and dismounted as quickly as the war horse fell to death, and hit the ground hard.
He screamed and burst into tears from the pain. Fortunately, he pulled away quickly enough and only twisted his left foot, so it wasn't a big problem.
Yiyin wiped the sweat and tears from his face with his sleeves and looked around.
He was not a local aboriginal and was not familiar with geography. He only knew that when he ran eastward out of the battlefield, the big river here must be the Chikuma River.
The Chikuma River flows from south to north, and when he wants to return to the territory controlled by Teru Uesugi, he also goes all the way north.
Yoshigan looked back at the battlefield. The sound of killing in the distance gradually became subdued. The Uesugi Army should be retreating, and the Takeda Army was following in pursuit. They couldn't care about the Chikuma River for the time being.
He had to use this time to quickly leave the Takeda family's territory to be safe.
This time he charged into the battle unparalleled and killed no less than twenty concubines of the powerful Takeda family, as well as several important ministers.
If he is caught at this time, the jealous Takeda samurai family may not care about the sword on his body and worry about his identity as a direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi.
This would be an unjust death.
Yiyin gritted his teeth. He had lost his spear. He could only use the scabbard of the knife as a staff, endured the pain in his left foot, and walked north.
The Takeda army cleaning the battlefield will inevitably find the dead horse, which will also reveal his location.
There is no time to delay at this point and you must leave quickly.
As I walked, my brain started to work quickly and began to search for the most suitable path.
The Chikuma River merges with the Saikawa River to the north, but Uesugi's military force is north of the Saikawa River, and the ferries along the way must be closely monitored by the Takeda family, making it difficult to cross.
Now the only option is to go to Hiroseguchi, cross the Chikuma River, and go north along the east coast.
The Takeda family controlled the east bank of the Chikuma River from Kaizu Castle to Takanashi Castle. With the fierce battle on the Hachimangahara battlefield, the military here was drained away, making it as safe as darkness under the lamp.
To go to Yoshigan, you can go through Hiroseguchi in the north of Kaijin Castle, walk along the east coast to the Suzaka area, and then look for a ferry to return to the west coast and go to Zenkoji Temple.
After thinking through his thoughts clearly, Yiyin thought that there was no problem, so he quickly left north with his sword in its scabbard.
———
The east bank of Hiroseguchi forms a narrow riverbank line with the mountains. To the north of Suzaka, there is a somewhat spacious valley and flat land.
There are five mountain people hiding in the forest not far to the north of Hiroseguchi, squatting furtively in the forest.
The killing sound of Hachimanhara soared into the sky in the distance, and even after crossing the Chikuma River, one could faintly hear it.
A skinny mountain man shook his body uneasily and whispered to the mountain man in front of him.
"Sister, are we going to stay here?"
"What do you want if you don't guard? Are you going to rush across the river?"
The leader of the mountain people had rotten teeth, looked at the cowering woman behind him with triangular eyes, and cursed.
"I shouldn't have brought you idiot here. Just shut up if you don't understand. You're talking nonsense!"
The mountain man who asked the question laughed dryly and was scolded by the leader, who said good words to persuade him.
The leader cursed for a while and took a breath.
They were all fellow villagers, and since they were all related, they could be considered useful people. She had to show off to reassure people.
The woman with triangular eyes pointed at the battlefield and said.
"The Ji warriors are fighting there, how dare we get close? If we kill you and me with red eyes, we are just killing two bugs.
I want to go to you, I'm not that stupid."
The humble mountain man smiled and said.
"Sister, didn't you say you would take me out to make a big deal? If it works, you'll make sure I don't starve to death this winter?"
The leader sneered and said.
"Nonsense, whether the deal is successful or not depends on God's will, I'm just a p.
Let's just wait here. If the defeated Lord Ji Samurai passes by alone, we will kill her!
Just pull out all the stuff on your body and sell it. Anyway, it won’t be a problem to get enough food for the winter.”
The humble mountain man was stunned and asked.
"What if there is no one left alone?"
"Then go back and suffer the cold! Are you stupid?"
The leader was too lazy to argue with this fool, and motioned for her to shut up and squat, staring at the trap in front of him without making a sound.
The mountain people are poor and suffer from hunger every winter. Rabbits bite people when they are anxious, let alone these tough mountain women.
After the autumn harvest, the Wu family had to go to war, so they took the opportunity to recruit a few lone Ji warriors to get Maodong's supplies.
Life has been like this for hundreds of years. Luo samurai hunting is how these mountain people support their families.
On weekdays, when small lords fight with each other, they still dare to get closer.
This time, there are two kings fighting in Hachimanhara. Who dares to get close to the battlefield without risking their lives?
Thousands of Hime warriors with tens of thousands of ashigaru are killing people. They rush in to seek death!
The leader of the mountain people was too lazy to have sex with the new idiot. If he hadn't been a relative from his own village, he would have stabbed him to death and thrown him into the ravine to avoid being an eyesore.
Since we don't dare to get close to the battlefield, we can only set up an ambush on the outside and wait for the opportunity. Whether this is a good year or whether we are going to suffer from the cold, it all depends on this.
The leader of the mountain people suddenly stooped and signaled to the mountain people behind her to get ready. She saw a fat sheep.
An unarmored martial artist injured his left leg and hobbled towards the trap they had set. There was no one behind him, so it was an opportunity to take action.
When the man walked to the center of the trap, she shouted.
"Pull up!"
The four mountain people behind him desperately pulled up the rope. Fallen leaves were flying on the ground. The net bag hidden underneath lifted the person into the air and tied him firmly.
When he heard the man exclaiming in pain, the leader jumped out to take a look and laughed.
"He is still a virile boy, sisters are blessed!"
She licked a rotten tooth with her tongue and looked at the young man from the Wu family in the net, feeling a violent desire in her heart.
