Nobunaga's Bastard

Episode 142: The Time of Settlement

The country of Echigo is a land with many open flats that is rare in Japanese books with many mountainous countries, and has a large area thereon.

If we could look down on this land directly from the top, as we said before about Shinano and Kofi, we would think that Echigoku is more fertile than other countries. Perhaps those who have been able to conquer this country will overwhelm their neighbors and expect to have extra power.

But if, after looking down directly from the top, we could look closer and see the earth beyond, we would probably know the hardships of those who dwell in the land, and how harsh the earth of the land is: the land beyond.

Flooding of the Great River The successive wetlands continued to be bottomless marshes where large adults would be swallowed up, and it was difficult to explore these lands and increase rice production, not nearly impossible. The rice harvest is foolish, and if it rains, the water spreads all around it, flushing all the crops. Wetlands If that is all, the same is true of the Konao Plain, which stretches over Ozhang Mino, and the Kanto Plain, the heart of Guan Yashu. Unlike the other two great plains, however, the area known as the Transcendental Plains was also a heavy snowfall zone. Inevitably, the central city of Echinae was not the Echinae Plain in the geographic center, but rather Haruhi Mountain Castle in the mountains far west of it.

Summer is shed in rain and winter is covered in snow. The vast land and harsh climate made the people living on this land impatient, but did not bring the people living on this land together. Military god, Kenshin Uesugi was born in such a land.

Nor was he born as the eldest son, nor was Lord Humble otherwise in a position to succeed the governor of the house that his father had neglected him. But Lord Humble suppressed the rebellion in the first line, and made his authority known, and gave him his name. He is the Lord, the Strong Lord, who makes the kingdom flourish in the world of the warring nations. Just as Shinji Imagawa and Misuke are called incompetent while having many talents, because they are biased and vulnerable to battle, all shortcomings were dispelled by just one point: strong.

He is taken up by the ministers around him to succeed the Nagato family, become the guardian bill for the Passover, and eventually gain the position of the national lord. He suppresses successive insurgencies and throws himself into battle with Shingen Takeda, the strongest aggressor he has ever attacked from the south.

No one to the right in the military. That's just why I didn't allow people to be humble. The overwhelming light was relied upon by the Kanto clans and those who fled Shinano, as well as by Sir Kanbai Kimiku and even the Kanto Sugi family. It is not that the people of the country after the many differences have become one. Those from other countries that are stopovers are not friendly. Only one overwhelming personality summed up my strong them at the end of the Warring States. Kenshin Uesugi, the ruler of Kanto, is not a man, but a dragon, a military god, and the incarnation of Tsushamenten. With that trust, I think the Uesugi soldiers could throw themselves into the battle by turning beyond the heavens.

If someone named Kenshin Uesugi were a little weaker, Hokuriku would have fallen into someone's hands and fallen out of a heavenly feud. No, I'm even suspicious of how ambitious Lord Humble was to become a heavenly man by fulfilling it. To the heavens, that is to say, to Kichichichi, Lord Humble did not turn in his soldiers, even if he would go himself. Instead, it was the assistance of Shinano's lavish family, who came on their own, the repression of the Yangbei people, who repeatedly rebelled, and their troop contribution as Kanto rulers.

The House of Uesugi, which has helped, fought, won, and repeatedly grown larger with those inside and outside just to help, has now grown to be one of the two males left until the end in the world of the warring kingdom.

Kenshin Uesugi chose the battlefield at the end of Kawanakajima. Until you chose me as your last opponent, I'm so proud of you. Still, it came through Haruhiyama Castle, the main castle, before my eyes.

More than a moment after the formation of the car hanging was completed. The war situation was glued. I kept spinning my army and at the same time didn't let it attack me from here. In a world where artillery squads establish new tactics and horseback riding squads continue to be the face of the battlefield, nevertheless the most common soldier on the battlefield is a foot soldier. The foot soldier has a spear. If you keep spinning with the spear, it's a moving swing. It's not that easy to break through.

I can win. The time I kept feeling so close to certainty was short, however. At first, we thought we could keep turning our enemies back, and then we realized that the attacks of the Uesugi Army had weakened, and then, not so long ago, we came to the point where we were being watched.

"Shooting by enemy archers!

A decree is coming. You gonna scrape this one off with a long-range attack? No, you're not. You can't have enough arrows to cut 10,000 soldiers. I'm trying something.

"Official Guard!"

"Master Bullet Jung Yoon!

As for what Lord Humble was after, the wise man who could see it set aside Kuroda's official guard for nothing else, and immediately after he tried to issue a decree, the official guard of the moment appeared in front of me.

"They're after us!

One foot sooner than me, I realized that Lord Hyacinth was after something, and the official guard who immediately broke that aim surrounded me with a soldier he had led. In the form of being caught, the groom and Goemon consolidated my surroundings.

"The Uesugi Army has given up the siege of the Oda Army and is aiming for the lives of one Yoon Bullet."

Thus, according to the official guards, the formation of the car-handlers is superior to the offense and does not require a high degree of sophistication, but that is only if the superior commanders are dispersed and in command throughout the circle. You need to be on the outside of the circle or precisely in the center in order to take command, and your defenses against commanders are lower than those of normal, forward enemy formations.

"The earlier bow and sporadic attacks have helped us to grasp the position of Yoshi Bullet, and with all the help of Takeda Uesugi, we are trying to take away just one of his necks."

"Barrel span?"

My voice leaked unexpectedly. I also hear that the fold between the barrels was heavy rainfall with mixed hail. Conditions are similar to those of snow in the beatings.

"My lord, in the center of the formation."

"No matter where the attack comes from, the Upper Cedar Army will break through the center of this army and try to break it off. If you're in the center, you'll be attacked no matter where the enemy comes from."

To the words of the groom, the official guard shook his head beside him. Then when I become a Shadow Warrior, I come to exchange helmets and horses.

"Not necessary."

On the other side of the snow, I blocked the conversation as I looked ahead, covered in bright white and seeing nothing.

"Official Guard, he taught me well. Thanks to you, I had time to get ready."

The ground sounds approaching. Biggest ever. Meanwhile, the fighting around us seems to have stopped altogether. Lord Hyacinth quickly gathered his troops in this snow and added them to the army of simultaneous assaults. I am the first commander to be proficient enough to think that the word "earliest boulder" would even rudely hit me.

"Make your feet stop. There must be Kanosuke on the left wing and Sun Shi and Masuke on the right. Unexpected, the enemy was wrapped up in one. Originally, it was a car-handling formation that went easy on tripartite attacks. If the other person is wrapped up in one, it is absolutely nothing. Push wrap from the front and defeat the enemy"

The ground sounds bigger. It wasn't just forward, it cheered from left to right. Did you read through what I questioned and what the public guards had seen, even in the left and right forces? My left and right allies are throwing away the car-handed formation and trying to get out front.

"I'm blessed to be on my side"

"The power of the minister is in the power of the Lord"

The groom complimented me, modestly, but surely. I'm not a man to flatter. Answer thank you. Nodding, and out in front of me.

"Keep your enemies away! Hang on!"

That's how the groom thrust into an invisible enemy. I didn't think, I asked him to wait, and I held my stretched arm in the void.

"My lord."

The groom in Kingsguard is the groom's, and the general's I have my job. Goemon spoke to me in a sober voice and tried to pull me backwards. But.

"I'm not leaving here. You're the last guardians."

And he answered the words of Goemon, shaking his head beside him. The ground is getting louder. But the movement also feels stopped.

In the short time since then, reports continue that warlords on enemy allies have been killed in action. First Shinjiro. Go on, Yasuke. Almost at the same time, reports of Takeda's capture of Shinsheng's neck were received, and reports of Naoke Kaijutsu's death came in. I accepted everything without being overwhelmed by those rewards. False alarms are common on the battlefield. It's not strange who's dead and who's not now named. There may also be ample possibility that an unnamed warlord has already exposed the body. I know those truths even if I don't like them once this battle is over. Until I found out, I just wanted to stand by believing in victory.

"... have you come"

That's how waiting for me comes closer. I felt like I knew. If that's the case, it didn't even seem like it was over. I snuck in the snow, but I still can't go wrong with it. A man who runs a horse with a small body and comes straight this way. The glance is sharp to such an extent that it may be said dragon, shamantian or military god, and there is even a smile on his mouth.

"Let me through!

On the instructions of Goemon, I am able to stand before you. Put up a spear and stare at Lord Humble. Neither could I keep a grin from sticking to my mouth.

"I'm starting to see you!

"I never wanted to see you again, though!

Lord Humble opened his mouth and I answered it. Though the temper of the military god and the most elite men who follow him nearby, the soldiers who stand up for him do not escape.

"Take it away!"

"Push back!"

Goemon said, and any of his enemies said back. Is that or adoptee's Kihei next scenery, or Sanro Jingtiu?

He definitely stopped Lord Hyun-Shin from moving. Lord Humble bites his teeth without reaching me. From behind comes the succession of the Upper Cedar Army, but from left to right, the troops of the Oda Army continue to pack. Unbreakable and isolated assaults all await only a future to take down.

Then I changed the spear grip I had set up and looked to Lord Humble to fight against the swarmed Oda soldiers.

"Phew."

Exhale small and advance the horse. With the momentum, he threw the spear he had set up. Turn to Lord Humble.

Lord Hyun-Shin tried to lay down the spear that flew at him, but his movements disrupted his posture on the horse. There, I bump into every horse. A knife, not a spear, in your hand. I pushed it in so I could stick it in my neck.

"I'll end it all!

With all the momentum I've hit, I jump with humility. The idea is to push him down to the ground and scratch his neck.

Got it! I thought with certainty. Even the insignificant Uesugi Army has accumulated fatigue in the battle against enemies doubling their allies and has not been able to react to sudden surprise attacks. Still, I take my neck off the momentum. With the Uesugi family, this will all end the warring kingdom turmoil.

But at that time, the earth spinned half a turn.

"You can't end this!

Probably like physical surgery. Lord Hyacinth, jumped at me, made it a throwing move without taking the momentum and let me go. Not knowing what was going on, I went straight into the air, and the Goemon took me where I was about to fall to the ground.

"Retreat!"

Lord Hyacinth, who threw me away, had already given me a lesson the next moment. The last voice of Lord Humility heard that day was still ambitious, and yet repentant.

"Did I miss..."

"I chilled my liver. What are you suddenly rushing out on your own?"

With my body suppressed by the Goemon and my body thrown out on the ground, I forgot to give directions for pursuit, and fell in love on the spot for a while.

Later, if I were told to mention just one thing that I would be proud of in the battle that would become known as the "Sixth Kawanakajima" or "Kawanakajima Showdown," I would undoubtedly mention the small number of war dead. Heavy fighting did not take place because the chasing commander was incompetent. In addition, the battle time was shorter than in the Battle of the Fourth River Nakajima, and it was a snowy time, so it was possible to cool the wounds immediately. As a result, there were no deaths among the well-known warriors, including all warlords whose reports of war and death were circulating in this battle. It's a miraculous fact that's roughly unrealistic. If you think about previous battles where people are dying, maybe you can say it's just the right thing to do.

"We'll hold all the wounded and head straight to Sunshine Temple."

It took two minutes after the battle for the Oda army to accommodate the injured on the enemy's side and return to the path they had come. Because the nearest position is there. Anyway, I was in the field until yesterday. Since it is a formation made to accommodate 10,000, it can be handled quite well even with the addition of some injured people there.

"The war wounded on our side were inside the car-handed formation, so we made it."

"Are you intact rather than wounded by war?"

After the war, Yasuke smiled at me when she stopped falling in love and moved on. Apparently, Yasuke's death in battle was a false statement circulated by the enemy, reassuring him first of all. Next, it turns out that Shinjiro's death in battle was also a false alarm. This one's not a lie, it's a mistake. I had suffered injuries to such an extent that I could not help but be mistaken for a death in war.

"I can't help you on the battlefield."

Shinjiro, who was deeply torn off his leg and seriously wounded, said so at the Good Mitsuji Temple. He was the groom who would later cut the bottom off his right leg knee, and at this time it was still at Seto's time to live or die, but I believed this man would die.

"What, there will be no such place as a battlefield after this. I want a minister who can read, write and calculate at any time, so you should study."

Saying, the groom laughed powerlessly, and slept. Is he dead? It was a really powerless move, as much as I think.

I didn't know if that was a false alarm or a false alarm about the enemy at this time. One fact that was certain was that among the enemy soldiers caught was Changhui, brother of Changchun Gatsuno. It's not like I surrendered, of course. He picked up where he was losing consciousness of falling and treated him. I got up and asked what was going on, and I decided not to take care of myself.

"Lord Takeda belongs to the brother, or brother-in-law, of the wife of Master Ya. I know that if you reconcile your life, that relationship will not be added and beheaded."

So when I told him what it meant not to imitate him sooner, Chang-hye Maida nodded complexly. It was in the same position as Takeda Katsushi, but it was still destroyed, and Takeda Legacy was stubbornly hunted for the remnant. If we're going to save ourselves now, they're dead. Why? I would feel that. Meet me, all I can say is. Anyway, I moved with the goal of reducing the number of dead by one.

Shortly after this battle, the snow of Hokuriku will seal off the streets and make the fight impossible. I told my father that I had fought Lord Humble in Kawanakajima, that Lord Humble had retreated to Haruhi Yamashiro, and that we would remain at the Sunshino-ji Temple. Therefore, Kitahino was already a territory taken from the Uesugi family by the Oda family. I'm not particularly good at claiming my win, but if that makes my father's hoarding a little lower, let's keep saying I won the Battle of Kawanaka in my future life.

As soon as full snow began to fall on Hokuriku, my father met with a messenger from the morning court, admitting to the surrender of the Uesugi family and to become a minister of the Oda family. Conditions for surrender were fine and varied, but when we talked about how much to confiscate the 'existing Uesugi mainland', that existing Uesugi territory did not include Kitahino. Probably about 200,000 stones, which is one of the meanings of this first battle.

After this, in the fourth and fifth years of Tianzheng, one Northeast march each will take place, but none of these marches will be a large-scale battle, just an expedition for the Oda family to show strength to the Tohoku luxuries. Thus, in general, according to the widespread searing of the population, this day

Warring States, over.
