A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

Xiao Pingtai had no choice but to stop temporarily at the foot of Pingjing Castle, ready to observe the situation before making the next step. Hojo soldiers who moved to Higashi Ueno gradually gathered at the foot of Hirai Castle.

In addition to the 25,000 Hojo troops, the 25 boys from Ueno also brought in 2,000 to 3,000 people, which looked like a dog-leg. Hojo's thighs are really huggable. Harvesting this kind of miscellaneous fish is a waste of food.

Anyway, Xiaoping Tai watched this battle that decided life and death with cold eyes. Theoretically, the total number of troops participating in the battle had reached the order of 100,000. It was considered a battle that would go down in history. Xiaoping Tai could experience it personally and the risk was not in vain. .

You can fight anyway. No matter how hard you beat him to death, you can’t hit Xiao Pingtai on the head. Xiao Pingtai just wanted to see what other advantages he could get, or what war fortune could be made.

The Hojo troops who returned to the camp from random captures were all wealthy, with large and small bags, leading raw animals (people) and beasts of burden. The atmosphere of victory and joy permeated the entire camp. But in Xiao Pingtai's view, these are all moving piggy bankrolls.

Based on the vulgar idea of ​​not taking advantage of the bastard, Xiao Pingtai purchased two pack horses from the soldiers who were chasing him in the early stage, and continued to buy weapons at low prices. Soldiers were also happy to cash out their spoils, after all, money did not take up much space and was easy to carry. If you have cash, you can take it home to make new clothes for your wife and children, or buy wine for yourself.

Feeling a little carried away for a while, Xiao Pingtai found that he had collected too many things, and it was already too late to buy animals to carry them, so he had to buy more than fifty common people at the price of 60 yuan for men and 30 yuan for women. Let them do labor and carry the various materials collected for them.

As for Koheita and Koichiro, they can see fifty or sixty students. In fact, it's very simple. There is no fear of them running away. Half of Ueno is now covered with Hojo's army. If they run away, they will be caught and continue to be sold. Besides, Xiaoheita can only eat two meals a day here so that he will not starve to death. He also specially selected those with family members, some big and some small, for easy supervision.

So Xiaopingta waited for two days, found an opportunity, and left Hojo's camp with a large group of people Shi Shiran. There is no obstruction at all as imagined. After all, Hojo is now trapped under Hirai Castle and has no magic way to attack the city. The Hojo Army seems to be preparing to concentrate its forces to attack from all sides, striving to quickly conquer the city and kill the leader regardless of sacrifice.

Koheita secretly kept some of the best swords, guns and bows, (Nagano Yamasa and I are not very familiar with you, so don’t be offended if I insult you) and sent dozens of armors and more than a thousand weapons of various types to Minawa. In the city.

At this time, the Minawa area had settled down slightly, with ashigaru patrolling the city from time to time. The originally turbulent crowds had also been calmed down. Most of the men had been forcibly recruited as soldiers, and the women and children were scattered to various villages. The road is no longer in a mess, only the figures of Changzuzhong running back and forth to communicate appear from time to time.

Nagano Yasumasa's ability is undoubtedly demonstrated. When Koheita entered the Minawa area, he encountered ashigaru who were on guard and interrogated. There were several waves before and after. He must be able to report and react quickly no matter what urgent situation.

While exchanging experiences with Koichiro in the past few days, Koichiro turned out to be quite knowledgeable. He was two years younger than Koheta, and he analyzed the pros and cons of Hojo and the leader in a clear and logical manner. He is also very good at analyzing the sentiments and opinions of the people. I have been helping Xiao Pingtai a lot these days.

This made Heita Xiao firmly believe in the idea that there are heroes in the wilderness. There is no need to go through it and just think about collecting 800 Taiko Resolute Legend character cards. Many people who have no names in history just lack the opportunity to perform.

Without further ado, this time when Koheita entered Minawa Castle, he no longer had to give his name. He found Nagano Yamasa's residence in this hilly city very easily.

As soon as Nagano Yamasa saw Xiaopingtao, he greeted him warmly: "Xiaopingtao, you have done me a big favor. Come and sit down. Come and sit down."

"No, no, it's just a little thing. Shinano Mamoru praises you." Kodaira said quickly.

This batch of weapons and armors from Koheita came at the right time. Nagano Yasumasa had already made a mental evaluation of Koheita as being loyal, enthusiastic and loyal to others.

In order to express his gratitude to Xiaopingtai, he gave Xiaopingtai a five-piece black lacquered side barrel that he had used. Although it was just a suit of ordinary-style armor sold on the market, it was still true to my heart, not to mention that there was no way to buy the Nanman carcass that Xiaopingta wanted to buy. So I happily accepted it, thanked him again and again, and left the city.

In addition, due to low-price acquisitions on the battlefield, Xiao Pingtai still had more than 100 Guanwen in cash. Koheita and Koichiro then went out in all directions to buy all the goods from the small merchants who were stranded because of too many goods. Three carts of various carriages and horses were bought by borrowing and cheating. After the small businessmen sold them in tears, they also ran away with the meager money.

Koheita and Koichiro led the horses and drove the carriages, and brought with them the common people who had bought tickets. Although it was speculated that the Hojo Army would not attack Nishi Ueno this time, the soldiers were in danger and they did not dare to risk their lives. He hurriedly set off back to Nanshin, and in order to avoid danger, he took a detour northward to Numata Agatsuma County.

When he finally returned to the mountain more than ten days later, Xiaopingta, who had only brought two horses and five hundred guan with him, had changed drastically. There were eleven pack horses, six vehicles loaded with goods, and more than fifty men and women carrying goods on their shoulders. The huge team made people think it was a large caravan belonging to some family.

Before he could go home, Xiao Pingtai took all the goods to the city. Entering the city, he reported to Yamauchi Yoshiharu, who had already heard about the arrival of his group. There was no nonsense, and he asked straightforwardly about what he gained from this trip. Koheita reported on the various materials and goods obtained, and also reported on the battle between Hojo and the leader. Because of the detour, the news of Guan Ling's defeat also arrived at Nanxin with the fleeing crowd too early than Xiaoping.

Sure enough, after guarding the city for two or three days, someone opened the gate in response to the Hojo army. Hirai Castle fell quickly. Uesugi Kento's whereabouts were unknown. His three underage sons, the eldest son and the second son, were discovered and killed one after another, and the whereabouts of the youngest son are also unknown.

The Uesugi family, the second most famous family in Kanto, collapsed. Most of the retainers were killed in the battle, and the rest were scattered, which cannot but be lamented. However, Koheita knows that the leader is not dead. It won't be long before he relies on another mountain with an army of 112,000 people to beat the Hojo family half to death. He will not be able to take care of himself while being pressed to the ground. .

But there was no need to tell Yamauchi Yoshitari about this matter, since no one would believe it anyway. As for the account owed to the leader, and the charge of the leader's carriage and horses, hahahahaha, you bite me!

Three thousand two hundred, big brother, give me a favor and let me enter three thousand, thank you.
