Chronicles of The Hardships of Komachi in The Sengoku Era

"Guys, they're so frustrated that they don't doubt their victory."

Keiji murmured while gazing at the enemy with the telescope he borrowed from Shizuko.In the spacious plains with few obstructions, Uesugi Kentora's army is facing each other, as is the army of the Nagao scenic scenery, which belongs to Keio.

Suddenly Kaihu struck the letter of challenge against the scenic scenery, so it became the transportation to realize the final match in Echinaka, which is neither Ogura nor Echigo.In addition to the hostage group accompanying Oharu, the gesture rushed from Echigo merged, resulting in a ratio of Kaihu to Kaiseki of about four for the number of troops.

"I was wondering if it was a more discarded bowl, but is it called a boulder?Soldiers aren't upset. "

I received my eyeglasses from Keiji, and in the same way, 46 answered while looking at the enemy.Keiji and Shizuku are packed with hostage groups such as the main team of the Kaiseki army and the general's Kaiseki, as well as the succession of direct ministers.

But there is no humility and no appearance of his subordinate.They are in a special position within the Uesugi family because they have to be neutral.The other generals are divided by factions, the parent Hojo faction joins the Kaihu faction, and the parent Oda faction joins their respective factions to support Kaiseki.

Still, the scenic faction that had spent years in Ogura as a hostage has collapsed, and many of the leading generals have followed Jingtiger's side.

Even under such circumstances, the people who came to the scenic side were coldly encountered by the mainstream parent Hojo school, and believed in the restoration of the right to scenic scenery because of their rich lineage.

The difference in power between the two of us is obvious.

There was even more anxiety on the scenic side, which was inferior even to the number of soldiers.It is uncoordinated because of the armies gathered together.

In terms of fighting as a group rather than individual, it is possible to align the ranks by repeating the training several times.Even the marches so far revealed the fact that the Kaiseki army could not even match the march speed well.

However, this cannot be a more fatal issue than it was originally.In the first place, as in modern combat, small units work together to carry out operations in an organic fashion. Most of the time, they use signals such as drums to generally instruct forward and backward movement, and then leave it to the judgment of the scene.

"Hmm, I don't know what support from Hojo is undesirable.The soldiers' expressions would be too optimistic if they were left behind by any sinking ship. "

A seemingly dominant Jinghu army, it was actually just holding out with the intention of stepping on thin ice.I would have taken over the Uesugi family in the absence of humility and intercepted the remnants along with the Takeda and Hojo families.

However, when I opened the lid, Humble stayed in Echigo without sending troops because of the snow, and the Takeda family, which was allied with the Hojo family, was destroyed by the Oda family.

At the time of the destruction of the Takeda family, a request for participation in the Hojo offensive was received from Hamshin. As the position of Kaihu et al. in the Hojo faction deteriorated instantly, the conditions were even worse.

As it stands, the Uesugi family will join the Hojo offensive alongside the Oda family, and it is visible that the parent Hojo faction, which serves as the clamp between the plates, will be used and crushed first on the front lines.

So Kaihu sent a secret letter to Hojo, his parent, asking him to send reinforcements for the overthrow of the Uesugi family.

However, the colorful reply never came back from Hojo.In short, the Hojo family are full of themselves, and wipe their own buttocks.

Jinghu, pushed into a corner, struggled with his successor from the front, which he had been trying so hard to avoid, as a solution to Kenko's one-stop struggle.

It was an impoverishment plan launched in a hurry to make the situation worse every day, but this produced an effect that exceeded expectations.

Under the circumstances, the generals decided that the honourable declaration of war was an installation of cooperation from Hojo.

Besides, he has succeeded in frustrating the scenic scenery that was attempting an ambush operation with the best of the oligarchs.The hypothesis is pointless, but if Scenic Winners were allowed to enter Echigo, it is likely that they would have been attacked without even achieving an armed uprising in the first place.

"The number of troops is inferior, and the opponent's skill level is getting higher.Well, how did you fight it? "

I cannot carry out complex operations in a rush army.However, the defeat of his own army, which was inferior in number and skill, was self-evident by pushing the force from the front.

Therefore, Scenic Katsushi plans an operation based on the assumption of a short-term final battle with himself as a decoy.It was a special solution that could be carried out in a rush army, and if successfully hammered, it would settle on the spot.

As a result, the risk borne by the scenery becomes enormous.If I made a mistake, the general would be decapitated and the defeat would be decided at that point, but I thought the scenery would still be good.

Either way, the Uesugi family will be gone tomorrow if the scenery wins.It would be a waste to think about when you lose.

"Well, then, let me (...) get to the front line, too.It is also necessary to decide on the match, and it is likely to be a premium seat to watch the decision. "

Keiji said that, and hit the palm of his left hand with his right fist stretched out. It was a kind of hug and fist ritual commonly seen in Chinese martial arts.

Scenic operations are not so difficult.Divide your army into three large units and regroup them into left and right wing and central units.

With regard to the left and right wing units, they are especially composed of people of lesser skill, with soldiers with spears longer than usual, and soldiers with large shields that cover the whole body to focus on defense.

The front row consists exclusively of shields, with the spear behind attacking from that gap.All you have to do is nail your enemies to the spot.

The rear row will be supported by relatively experienced ones who will take the opponent's attack to prevent the battle from collapsing, forcing them to bleed.

On the other hand, the central army has gathered the best of the entire army and has been consolidated with hostages and Uesugi Genealogy ministers and their soldiers.

Even though there were extremely skilled generals, the armed forces were irreplaceable with the wings of the long spear and the large shield.

Still, the armor set made by Shizuko was very eye-catching.The brightly colored linen feathers, the bright vermilion armor on the eyes, and the front of the helmet are also plated, reflecting the sunlight and shining brightly.

Furthermore, the flag finger was collected in large quantities, and the idiot showed a dangerous inclination (rash) at first glance that there would be a general here.

This unusual position seems to have been immediately conveyed to the Kaiho side, and even in the word battle before the blade was exchanged in earnest, it seemed to have been received as provocative and scattered.

On the other side of the scenic scene, the cowardly gentlemen are also showing that the general is here. If you come without cowardice, you will even be provoked again.

By this point, I could not have abandoned Jinghu, and the enemy also gathered their main forces in the center to form a fish-scale formation to make a breakthrough.

"Well, the words have run out for each other.From this we shall be Shura.Maeda, I want to have a cup with you after all, don't let me die slowly. "

"It's impossible to talk to him.Living or dying is one thing in heaven.Anyway, we're all heading down to the Fountain, so if you leave first, you should just wait and see. "

"Very well, then, I'll have Maeda's tombstone inscribed, 'Tinker of Heaven, wait under the fountain with one hand in the bottle.'"

"It's not fate. Live and die as a soldier, and let's celebrate the sun together."

Kenjo and Keiji mutually kissed each other lightly, and the raised fist separated in a meeting.

Incidentally, Forty-Six is located at the rear of the main team, near the Shige unit (the transport unit responsible for the military station).No matter how you show your martial arts skills, you can't imitate being on the front lines in the first place.

It was based on the following idea of Keio, who said that it was good to stand on the spot and experience the air of the place of life and death.And 46, who had never actually killed a man and did not think it would help in any way, accepted this pleasantly.

Then, when tension reached its peak, both the Jinghu Army and the Jingsheng Army clashed, and the Jinghu Army moved along with the sound of drums.

A group, including the main team led by Kaiho, attempted to break through the center against the scenic side of the formation spread out in a straight line.

The breakthrough-focused assault, led by the Jinghu horse riding, was swallowed by the crossfire zone that resulted from gunfire shooting at each other diagonally in the rear of the Jingsheng army.

Still, I was unable to prepare enough guns, but I allowed some breakthroughs to be made, and this attacked the front lines of the Kaiseki army.

However, Jing Sheng's response to this was insane.They intercepted a large shield and spear that weighed over 300 kilometers on the ground, including horses that rushed at speeds of several dozen kilometers per hour.

Several soldiers were rapidly crushed and exposed to the wilderness unbroken bodies.Terribly, however, most of them were sewn on the spot or deflected from playing to lose momentum.

Behind this achievement was the ingenuity of a steel reinforced shield and spear.The large shield had a pull-out support frame, which could be stabbed into the ground and supported diagonally to make it a robust and strong wall.

In addition, the spear was taught by the Western pike, and the soldier stepped on the stone stump and fixed it from above, penetrating the horse by turning it into a sakamoni of manpower, or causing the horse generals to fall.

Still, due to the massive blow, the center was recessed inward against the left and right wings, and the Kaihu army, which gained momentum, attacked at once.

If brought into the confrontation, the firepower support from both wings will not be realized, and gradually only the central part will be pushed into the back, even with the number of troops.

The General who supported the front lines of the Central Unit fought well in a decisive struggle, but was pushed into it with a twist.No, the Scenic Army soldiers were skilfully retreating while working with each other.

However, after being exposed to the horseback markings of the scenic scenery, I was unable to realize that even though my own troops were pushing forward, the enemy soldiers themselves were not so worn out.

"Alright! That's good, that's good.The general's neck is right in front of his eyes, and those who raise their ranks will get the reward they want! "

Jinghu also raised his voice to encourage the soldiers, and with that momentum, the soldiers also thrived against the enemy.

And the cage of despair is complete.Soon the Kaihu army was trapped in a fence with a narrow entrance like an octopus.

Moreover, by the hands of the engineers who were lying at the rear of both wings of the Scenic Army, the mouth of Tsubaki, the only way to live, was closed.

A ground-breaking new piece of equipment made with the finest steel making technology that Oharu boasts, barbed wire wrapped around a wooden pile is stretched across, and the lid stops as reinforcements rush in and the Kaiju cannot escape from the dead.

Historically, barbed wire was widely used in trench warfare during World War I and proved its effectiveness was beyond the reach of humans of this era.

The thin but tough and supple steel wire, whether slashed with a sword or pierced with a spear, cannot be greatly damaged.Spikes stick in your hands to widen the gap, and your enemies won't miss out on such defenselessness.

The situation was completely covered by the fact that both wings of the Kaiseki army put pressure from the left and right, and the Kaiseki army headquarters, which had been completely defensive and retreating, turned into a counterattack.

"Hmm, what's that noise!?"

Jinghu noticed a gunshot sound like a wooden pile throwing a hammer into the ground from behind.

However, I realized that it was already too late and I didn't want to be pushed into a situation where there was nothing I could do anymore, even by the screams I heard from the surroundings.

"Ghhhh!! Don't push it, it'll sting my thorns!!"

"I'm being pushed from behind, back off!!"

Jingsheng's army was crushed by forces on the left and right flanks, and Jinghu's army, which stretched vertically, looked like a hell of a picture of soldiers fleeing, pushing other soldiers into an iron net.

If I had noticed, I would have been caught in the dead altogether from the superior situation.From the perspective of Jinghu, it is the situation of the nightmare itself, but the nightmare increases in misery instantly.

Still, the remaining gestures were put together to rebuild the troops, and blood splashed on the side of Jinghu who was trying to make a break for the thin spot of the enemy.

Looking at it, a samurai dyed the tiger's cloth with blood, swinging a long-handed weapon with a huge blade that he had never seen before, and sprayed the soldier's neck.

It was the next appearance of a weapon with a thick, boneless razor-sharp blade on the tip to be called a long roll.

"Whoa, I found the general's neck.Enemy General Kaiho is here. Stay with me! "

When he shouted so, Keijin shouted away the object.As the whirlwind slashes, soldiers caught in the path of the blade are thrown like bowling pins.

Keisei's soldiers, who rushed into the next open space in Keio, pushed the Keisei army to block the road to Keisei Tiger.

While doing so, the pressure exerted from the left and right increases, and the gestures to protect the Kaihu continue to be taken out one by one.

Finally, a soldier of the Kaiseki army poked his spear at the Kaiseki tiger.The soldiers of the Jinghu Army, who were held captive by Jinghu, also surrendered, and the horse mark of Jinghu was placed and the one of the scenic spot was displayed.

The winners and losers were decided, and the other troops who learned that the main team had been dropped also abandoned their weapons one after the other and surrendered.

A scenic scenic scene accompanied by a continuation appeared to Kaihu, who was sitting with his waist tied and disarmed.

"I've decided to win or lose. Sadat will be followed by Omijō-sama.Keep quiet for a while now. "

"Fu... bullshit. I dream of stealing a country, and if it breaks, I won't have to wait!"

The dream of Kaiho, who rose up to take away Echigo, was broken.Keihu's insistence on exposing himself to the shame of waiting for his death was unacceptable.

"Then I'm hungry! I'll be your mistake."

"Kajina-kun"

Kaiho took off his armor and took off his coat and pushed the blade thrown from Kaisuke into his stomach.

Press and kill the bitter noise that is about to leak, scratching your stomach and showing it to the first letter while eliminating blood from the edge of your mouth.

"Excellent. I'll take care of the rest."

Speaking of which, Jingsheng shook down his sword at Jinghu's head.Kagekatsu ordered his men to cleanse Kaihu's neck and carefully wrapped it in a wooden box that he had prepared.

Thus, the victory of the scenic victory closed the curtain to decide on the successor of Kenshin Uesugi to the dragon of Echigo.

The situation in the eastern country was changing rapidly.The Takeda family, said to be the strongest of the Sengoku, perished in only a month, and the house riots that erupted at the Uesugi family were immediately put out of the fire.

Hojo, who was supposed to be a community of destiny against these, remained silent.I was trying to be precise, but it was settled while I was deciding on a policy.

From what we do not know, it is clear that the Oda family is aiming for Hojo next, and it is causing mistrust about Hojo that does not show any movement.

Among them, the three families, Ashina, Date, and Yagami, were in a hurry.The Hojo family took the lead and cooperated as an anti-Oda, so they were afraid that Oda's hands would not reach them as far as they are now.

Still, the three families did not clearly turn their backs on the Oda family.He was simply on the side of Hojo, who was about to become a winning horse, and if Hojo had no winning eye, he would have to ride the next winning horse.

It is a return to the Oda family.However, all three families know Nobunaga's harsh character, and I can't accept that he turned around without any souvenirs.

Each was searching for a way to survive in order to leave their own blood behind.

"As I thought, your alliance collapsed."

Shizuko murmured while reading Masayuki Maeda's investigation report on Hojo.Satomi and Satake seem upset, not just the three houses in Tohoku.Of course, we are shaking through diplomacy, but the ties were too fragile.

As soon as Takeda, the key player in the anti-Oda alliance, and Hojo's one wing were lost, the alliance, which was formed solely by interests, collapsed.

Shizuko smiles slowly as everyone who left the alliance runs on their own, and in the Odawara attack led by Shibata, Hojo is likely to be the only opponent.

"We don't want to be destroyed before we attack."

Faithfulness murmured as she sipped tea from the hot tub.Seeing the faithfulness at ease, Shizuko had a headache.

Shizuko was distancing herself from Nobunaga in relation to the fight between Nobunaga and Nobunaga's parents and children, but Nobunaga, a vortex figure, pushed her into the Shizuko Mansion with Princess Matsuko, so she got caught up in it.

Even though they are in the middle of nostalgia, I cannot tell them to go back to Gifu if Nobunaga pushes them to Oharu, so I will open the gate that was closed and invite them in.

Unexpectedly, Nobunaga kept quiet without saying anything and only responded to the inquiry from Shizuko by saying, "Cool my son's head."

Shizuko, who did not receive clear instructions, will meet as a guest by passing them through the guest room.

Nobunaga therefore enjoyed an unprecedented holiday while running the administration from Ozaki.Even now, while Princess Matsuko was kneeling, she looked through the report that Shizuko had finished reading.

"Why don't you apologize to your superiors?While we can't do that, Hojo will have no place for you. "

"Hey, that won't happen.I'm the general of the East Kingdoms, right?Whether Shibata leads the Hojo attack or not, there's no way I won't join the fight. "

"If you are dissatisfied, say so.Because it is a formal order delivered with a stamp of vermilion.Perhaps you could not leave the General in charge of the Oda family's shaking roof. "

"Holy shit...."

Faithfulness falls silently. In his prospectus, he also made excellent progress in the Hojo attack, and he intended to make it known internally and externally that Nobunaga's successor was a worthy person.

However, the opportunity was taken away by Nobunaga's unparalleled hands.In order for Nobunaga to participate in the Hojo offensive from this situation, we must settle the issue of Oda's inheritance.

"Hey, why did you get caught in the front room?I've been watching her for the last few days, but I don't think Princess Matsushi wanted her to be in the front room. "

"Don't say anything else. I'm Shizuko, so believe me.The generals under my command told me to turn the pine into a concubine without even a side room..... "

Even Shizuko took a breath.Speaking of the princess of the diaspora, it is a great blessing to the people of the former Takeda territory who will continue to govern.

Meeting her as a side chamber will improve the minds of the people and make it easier for them to govern.Do I have to push it until I shame Princess Matsushi?

We have been enemies for many years, but as a result of the exchange of life, there will be clashes such as the killing of family members.

However, it is only natural for us to live and die, and we have also killed a significant number of our enemies.That degree should be accepted as an illusion of some sort.

Aaah!

Shizuko thought about it, so Shizuko tried to pull out the documents that she had not yet read.

But before the faithful hand grabbed the paperwork, Shizuko beat the back of the faithful hand with a fan that he took out at some point to stop the riot.

"Don't touch yourself!"

"It seemed like I was thinking about it, so I was going to work on it a little bit...."

"Don't say things you never thought you would.I know you're interested, but peeking before I see it is ultra vires.Just what I think is good. "

That said, Shizuko cleared the briefcase containing the report and sent it back to the next room.

"So I was advised to make Matsuhime my concubine. What happened to you?"

"It's a lot more than I thought, and I thought leaving it like this would put pine in danger, and on the contrary, I put it in my father's ear by declaring it in the front room."

"I see. I've made it impossible to jump the other way by making the problem bigger.But if that's the case, I have to root it out first.... "

"There was an imminent threat.Even if they hesitate to leave me by the pine. "

"That's right. Well then, I'll give you a clever hand, so apologize honestly in front of everyone."

"I told you not to say anything else!"

"It's not a situation where you can say that.Even if you stay like this, you're being driven to a place where I have to abandon you. "

"That's true, but I bend what a man once said...."

"Shut up! It doesn't mean you're worth less when you lower your head. What's the point of dying with guts?Princess Matsushi will take you with her. "

Even if I was told so, there was no word to return it as fidelity, and I kept quiet with a careless mouth.Moreover, Shizuko, who was careful, tapped her chest lightly and contracted.

"I'll leave this to Shizuko."
