For modern people, cold weapon warfare is mostly learned from TV series and movies, and the content on the Internet and books is often cold numbers, without any sense of reality. Only TV dramas and movies can feel some different intuitive feelings, but for the sake of art, they are often filmed like mythological novels. In fact, for most wars of this era, whether it is a samurai or a ninja, their tactics are actually much the same, the only difference is the weapons they use.

For those troops who dare to fight, weapons are the basis of their victory. For the defeated soldiers who are fleeing for their lives, weapons are an obstacle to their survival, and when the war is lost, the losing side often chooses to throw away everything that prevents them from fleeing for their lives.

In the gorge through which the Kako River flows, before dawn, more than 100 men under the command of Naomasa Akai who remained behind to monitor were violently attacked, and when they were defenseless, or more precisely, did not expect that the enemy would have reinforcements, they were attacked continuously, and these already frightened soldiers immediately collapsed at the endless attacks. On the dirt road by the river that fled to Asahagi City, the collapsed Akai Naomasa threw down his heavy spear, took off his obstructive footgear, wore a pair of pants, and turned his back to the masked reinforcements who were chasing and killing, crying for his father and mother.

Some of them jumped into the turbulent Kako River despite the cold water, and escaped to the other side of the river with a swing, while others were shot directly by bows and arrows and darts thrown and fell into the river, and after a struggle, they drifted along the river, and finally drifted into the Seto Inland Sea, where they became fodder for marine fish.

On the potholed dirt road, some of the ashigaru were lucky enough to run away, and some of them accidentally fell to the ground, and the fallen ashigaru tried to get up and run again, but was trampled on by the ashigaru who ran away. Ashigaru, who fell to the ground, let out a scream of pain when he was trampled on, but he couldn't get up.

These ashigaru were followed by the merciless slaughter of the receiving troops led by Tozawa Hakusai, who heard the roar of guns in the dark night. He stepped up the speed of reinforcements, approached Yoshida Masanari and Ishimatsu Fumigo before dawn, and then launched an attack on the hundreds of surveillance troops who dared to provoke the Date family. In the ninja's tactics, most of them are attacks and sneak attacks. But there is no lack of frontal combat tactics, and after crushing the courage of Akai Naomasa in one fell swoop, there is a continuous pursuit and killing.

This raid was not actually a one-sided battle, it was just a one-sided slaughter, after dawn. The war was over, and except for a few lucky ones, most of the more than 100 people who were not easy to gather were buried in the hands of Tozawa Hakusai and the ninjas.

In fact, in the final analysis, this massacre was caused by the fight between the Akai family and the Akai Naomasa brothers, and the Akai family knew that it was a thankless task to use more than 100 people to monitor, even if there were no reinforcements, fighting with a group of enemies armed with iron cannons would have to pay a heavy price, in order to consume Akai Naomasa's strength, Akai Iyoshi made the decision to be a relative and a hater, and buried all the forces of Akai Naomasa in one fell swoop. The soldiers who fled back were no longer of any use.

Tozawa Baiyunsai, who killed hundreds of Akai Naomasabu Ashigaru, didn't have much sense of honor, and for him now, the provocation of these dirt buns was nothing more than the aftermath of this incident. Now the most important thing for him is to take Yoshida Masanari and Ishimatsu Fumigo back to Date safely and covertly, and return to Tsurushou Castle to resume his life.

Tozawa Hakusai looked at Yoshida Masanari, whose beard was not cleaned up, and a smile appeared on his face, he knew that this young man would inevitably be reused once he returned to Date House, of course, in order to avoid suspicion, he would be sent to a place far away from the political center in the near future, and the rest of the people would have the same experience, but as long as it was calm for a while, he would return to be promoted, but he didn't mean to come forward to negotiate with him. For Tozawa Hakusai. As the leader of the Tozawa people, the only person to be loyal to is Date Masahiro, and the rest are all the ones they are wary of, no matter how loyal the other party is. Once you are too ambiguous with them, you will be suspicious of Date Masaki, which is a big taboo for ninjas.

Instead, Ishimatsu Fumigo briefly recounted to him the events in Kyoto and some of the events that followed, and the reasons why he provoked the hostility of the Akai family, etc., but Tozawa Hakusai did not expect that what was originally just an assassination incident would turn into a great riot in Yamashiro Province. attracted the attention of all the heroes in the world, and secretly glad that the enemy did not find out that this incident was committed by the Date family, and said to Ishimatsu Fumigo: "You have to completely forget this time." ”

Shi Song Fumigo replied coldly: "Leader, except for Yoshida Masanari, who will be reused after he returns, there are still thirty-four people left, and this will have to be revealed by one of these people, what we are doing will never be a secret, now I want to ask if you want to deal with these people." After speaking, Shi Song Fumigo looked at Tozawa Baiyunzhai with burning eyes, wanting him to get an answer here.

Tozawa Baiyunsai glanced at Shi Song Fumigo deeply, but he didn't see any expression on his face, shook his head and said, "If you want to kill them, no, this is absolutely not good!" He subconsciously vetoed Fumigo Ishimatsu's proposal, what a joke, these people assassinated Miyoshi Nagayi according to Date Masaki's order and caused the Kyoto fire, and now it has become a big event to kill these people. Besides, this is an order from Date Politics, and it is not something he can decide.

Of course, this is not in line with Tozawa Baiyunzhai's psychological bottom line.

Seeing Tozawa Baiyunzhai's reaction, Ishimatsu Fumigo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he brought up this matter just to see Tozawa Baiyunzhai's reaction, I have to say that Tozawa Baiyunzhai's reaction made him very satisfied, and now he can kill them and kill him.

If Tozawa Hakusai is the kind of person who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, there is no need for the two sides to talk, and Ishimatsu Fumigo will live in doubt in the future, afraid that if he can't bear it anymore, he will have to defect and flee from Date's house and live in a foreign country, he doesn't want to leave his hometown and embark on the road of escape again as soon as he becomes a samurai.

When Tozawa Hakusai picked up Yoshida Masanari and Ishimatsu Fumigo along the Kakogawa River back to Date territory, Masahiro was eating breakfast on the castle tower of Tsurushou Castle, which was very light, a bowl of rice porridge and a plate of sauce radish. A bowl of pickled melon. Accompanying her to breakfast was the woman who went to bed last night, Mrs. Sakura, and Mrs. Sakura's breakfast had run out. Since Mrs. Uyama was critically ill and Mrs. Miyoshi moved in, Mrs. Miyoshi was affected. Lady Sakura's status is increasing day by day, and of course, more importantly, the political balance needs Lady Sakura to send a signal that his backyard is stable.

Obviously, the quiet situation was soon interrupted by the arrival of Kusama Shibei, who had been busy with the formation of the Okayama Police Headquarters for a while now. However, he still came every day to deliver a piece of local information.

Mrs. Sakura saw the arrival of the Kusama Shibei, and retreated very interestingly, the difference between her and Mrs. Miyoshi is that she will not participate in the battle between men, for her, in the world of men, women are better not to participate.

Zhengheng picked up one of them, opened it and frowned, the report said that Mrs. Uyama and Mrs. Xiao Miyoshi died at the same time in the early hours of this morning, and this matter was put on the top, and looked at Kusama Shibei. "Really went." ”

Kusama Shibei replied, "Yes, you walked peacefully?!" ”

Zhengheng didn't show any expression, peaceful, how could Mrs. Uyama and Mrs. Xiao Miyoshi be peaceful, but since Kusama Shibei said so, since they have already gone, then let them go peacefully. He drank the rest of the rice porridge, then ate all the pickled radishes and pickled melons, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and after a while. Fang Cai said: "Find a quiet place to bury them separately." ”

Kusama Shibei replied, and then continued to ask and answer with Zhengheng, and soon, Kusama Shibei retreated.

Zhengheng stood up. Walking outside the corridor of the castle tower, looking at the cherry blossoms blooming in the castle, he took a long breath before saying, "Uyama Cicadahime, I don't know if the original decision was correct, whether it was right or not. I hurt her. ”

After a while, Zhengheng seemed to have made some decision, turned around and said to Tsuda Sukegoro who followed: "Go to the castle and tell Miura Kusaku that Mrs. Cicada is sick and has passed away, and let him go to White Deer City to inform Uyama Feibi of this matter." ”

Sukegoro Tsuda looked up and asked, "Do you want to tell me anything?" ”

Zhengheng shook his head and said, "There is no need to do more, Yushan Feibi will know my mind." Suddenly, Masahiro remembered something and asked, "Where do those Yamanaka clans who fled from Izumo Province live now, inquire and report back to me." ”

Sukegoro Tsuda answered and retreated.

It seems that the current situation of the forgotten Yamanaka clan is not good, since Yamanaka Yutaka fled Izumo Province with his mother and younger brother, and met Zhu Yun Huixin and his party all the way, and successfully escaped with the help of Zhu Yun Huixin.

Coming to the mountains of China, Yukitaka was ill due to the upheaval of the road, and at the end of the twenty-third year of astronomy, he coughed up blood and died. The collapse of the pillars made life even more difficult for the mother and son in the mountains, who had already fled, and their mother had to show up to take care of her young son.

Zhengheng's summons made the mother and son hug and cry.

It is normal for Masahiro to order Miura Kusaku to go to White Deer City to tell Uyama Feibi the news of his daughter's death.

Lady Uyama, as the daughter of Uyama Hibi, the important minister of the lord of the Izumo country, Niko Haruhisa, married into a reckless land, and Date Masahiro at that time was still a country bun that did not unify China. This is all because Niko Haruma fell in love with the young Date Masaki, and wanted to seize Date Masaki's family business through marriage, which was definitely beneficial and harmless for Niko Haruma at that time. Who knew that it was because of this incident that led to a series of wrong decisions in Nizi Qingjiu's later years, which caused Nizi's family to plummet, and now it is even more sluggish, becoming the laughing stock of the world. In this way, the two became relatives and became a couple with a discordant relationship. Date Masahiro stayed away from the beginning because the other party was the adopted daughter of Niko Haruhisa, and secretly guarded against him.

With the decline of the Nizi family, Date Zhengheng has risen step by step to become a world-renowned talent, and now it has risen step by step to become the guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, from the five to the official position of Zheng Shaobi. Although Mrs. Yushan did not get any favor from Zhengheng, she was still Mrs. Zhengfu, and it was because of this incident that Mrs. Miyoshi was dissatisfied, which led to a series of incidents.

As the news came that Mrs. Uyama had died of tuberculosis, a disease that had caused people to fall into despair, Jeonghyung suddenly felt a little sorry for the poor woman, and he looked back and suddenly realized that there was nothing wrong with her.

Zhengheng looked back on her past, since she married her at the age of eighteen, Mrs. Yushan didn't have any impression in his mind, only knew that there was a vague impression, that was the impression of the moment she got off the sedan chair when she was sent.

That was the best impression that Mrs. Uyama left on him, and Zhengheng thought deeply for a while, before hiding what he had just thought about deeply in his heart, and over time it became a beautiful or painful memory for him, and now was obviously not the time to remember. Zhengheng's schedule is always full, for him, when there is almost no pause, time will not follow his footsteps, he can only catch up with the pace of time, as long as he goes step by step.

Early in the morning of March 9, with the safe return of Masanari Yoshida and Fumigo Ishimatsu, Masahiro's hanging heart finally let go of most of it. Although he was also very concerned about the situation in Tanba Province, he knew that once his hand reached out to Tanba Province, Miyoshi Chokei, who had always regarded Tanba Province as the sphere of influence of the Miyoshi family, would definitely hesitate again. This is a bit of an extraneous complication for Zhengheng, who has just disrupted the footsteps of Sanhao Changqing and led Sanhao Changqing to other directions.

Returning safely, for Zhengheng, as long as he returns safely, the life of a right-hand man of Miyoshi Changqing, coupled with the fact that thousands of people were homeless caused by the Kyoto fire, is nothing more than another lively emergency.

Moreover, in this case, the benefits obtained by Zhengheng made him temporarily forget about the series of unpredictable consequences that this matter may trigger.

First of all, Miyoshi Changqing's right-hand man, Miyoshi Changyi's body and his head are split into two halves. (To be continued.) )
