Non-Honmaru Inner Honwan [Comprehensive]

The swordsman who was sent to Gaotianshen City before did not do any work except for sending a letter to the presser Hasebe immediately after he noticed something was wrong.

Not long after sending the letter, the swordsman found the footprints of the time-traveling army in the forest near Takatenjin City, so the Token Fusangshen of this team immediately began to simultaneously protect Tokugawa Ieyasu and sneak into Takatenjin City. action...

Then because they didn't intend to appear in front of Tokugawa Ieyasu (Tokugawa Ieyasu is just an ordinary historical figure), Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't know the existence of such a group of people at all, and because they found that a few people were missing when counting the military rations. Severely reprimanded Ashgaru who manages food and grass.The operation of sneaking into Gaotianshen City was also due to their limited personnel, at most they could only dispatch one or two Fusangshen to investigate, but in the end, they repeatedly encountered time-traveling troops like puppets—without historical figures as targets , Men with swords have become the main targets of these enemies.Under this kind of extra entanglement, it is of course difficult for these men with swords to catch up with the non-fixed meals of the Takeda Army since the lack of food, let alone find out the reason why the Takeda Army has persisted until now.

The arrival of Sanriyue Zongjin and his team of sword men obviously relieved their pressure.After exchanging the little information, the former team of swordsmen easily cleared up a part of the time-traveling army nearby, then withdrew to protect Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the more energetic Mikazuki Munekin and others went to investigate the city Case.

Qingguang, who has already found a suitable hiding place by himself, needn't worry—after Sanriyue Zongjin memorized the approximate location of the knife-wielding boy, he took the other sword-fighting men to the center of Gaotianshen City without hesitation.

In a state where they cannot be seen by others, even their shadows are thin, and they can easily be ignored by others.Imaken of the dagger is stepping on one-toothed red clogs, bouncing forward on the already dilapidated roof of Takatenjin City, occasionally stepping on the ground, shaking off a lot of dust, and the ashigaru in the house is also looking sluggish , nothing.

This passive defense, while oppressing the Tokugawa army, was also depleting the morale of the Takeda army in the city.For the time being, it has not been reduced to the point where there is no food to eat and most of them starved to death in history. The Takeda army defending the city seems to have achieved better results than in history-but the defense of the city often takes a long time, and the general of Takeda is The brave Motonobu Okabe, regardless of whether these ashigaru know that they have received assistance from outsiders (the time-traveling army), they cannot be reduced to such a numb and lifeless look under the leadership of Motonobu Okabe .

Mikazuki Zongjin can't say how good he is at military affairs, but he can also smell tension in the sloppy behavior of the ashigaru people-even if the Takeda army is still not threatened with food shortages, I am afraid that within the next half month, there will be a war in Takaten mutiny.

"Oh...that's really empathetic."

With an incomprehensible sigh, Mikazuki Zongjin showed a calm smile while running against the wall.

Probably because his smile was too relaxed and without haze, this speech that should be considered to grasp the overall situation has no deterrent effect at all.In addition, his sleeves are too wide, and the dark patterns on his coat are carefully made. Even if he simply walks against the wall, the sleeves will soon be covered with a lot of dust, making him feel awkward for no reason. The sense of sight of the troubled noble son also made him seem safe and harmless.

The closer they get to the center of Takatenjin Castle, the more Ashgaru they can see.

The houses that are closer to the center of the city are unreasonably dilapidated, with the walls hanging on the walls in pieces, and every room is as messy as if it had been ransacked. Broken baskets, straw, and pieces of wood can be seen everywhere.Takeda's ashigaru either sat against the wall, or lay carelessly in the dusty house, or lay directly on the ground. It protrudes as high as the skin on the face, and the protruding radius bone on the edge of the wrist is also particularly obvious.In the not gloomy weather, they were covered with a gloomy atmosphere with one foot buried in the graveyard, and even the way they held their weapons was panicked and weak.

The dust on the ground is not much thinner than that of the kitchen where Kiyomitsu is located. Footprints and drag marks can be seen everywhere. Under the mutual coverage, the fusangshen can't find the source, so they can only hesitate at the ashigaru who don't want to move in order to save energy Squat down to the side, so as to observe without disturbing them.

"Although it is a long time later than in history...but no matter how you look at it, the food is so scarce that you are about to starve to death." Ishikimaru is more sensitive to people's health than other Fusangshen, and quickly made a judgment. "It's only a matter of time before it becomes what is recorded in 'History'."

"Hahaha, that's not certain." Sanri Yuezong replied gently, "If you search hard, you can still find food."

"It doesn't look like there is food." Ishikimaru said, "Didn't it mean that the time retrograde army is helping them in secret? There is no trace of the time retrograde army supplying food and grass at all-the ones that were wiped out outside the city before are also the same as before. There is no difference in the time-traveling army I saw, and there is no food on them."

"That can only show that they are not supporting the Takeda army in this way." Mikazuki Zongjin smiled, "A simple lack of food will not turn into this appearance--and if it is blatant to provide food and grass, it will not be violated. They will sit idly by. For the Takeda Army, they should have 'found the last food through their own efforts'."

As he spoke, he lowered his eyes slightly, and there was a hint of coldness in the eyes of the crescent moon.

"From time to time, you can see 'hope', and the possibility of survival is actually like a candle in the wind. The relief of the time retrograde army is not so easy to enjoy."

"Does this mean that they already know the means of the time-traveling army's assistance?" Kohomaru asked.

"Hahaha, even if I don't need to remind you, you should be able to think of it." Facing the swords that were born earlier than him and also made by the swordsmith Sanjo Zongjin, Mikazuki Zongjin brushed his sleeves and said calmly, "In the past Kato Kiyomasa——Oh, I can't say 'the past'. In the future, Kato Kiyomasa will use taro stems to make the skin of Kumamoto Castle, so that when Ulsan Castle is besieged again, he can use it to satisfy his hunger."

"Replacing the wall skin with taro stems. Replacing the ropes with stem ropes is not a difficult task for the time-traveling army."

It must be the work of the time-traveling army that the Takeda army can persist to this day.Even if they had doubts before coming here, after arriving at Gaotianshen City and seeing the endless and unusually large number of time-traveling troops, the men with swords and swords will no longer doubt this.

And it is impossible for the time-traveling army to carry food and grass to help the Takeda army in the city.

Because in history, the Takeda Army did not receive any assistance—whether it was to help in the name of Takeda Army reinforcements, or to create a "granary" that should not exist in the city, it would make the Takeda Army in the city suspicious.After all, it took them more than a day or two to occupy Gaotianshen City, and the exploration of the city has progressed to the point where no hidden darkrooms will be missed.

Historical figures encounter reinforcements that shouldn't exist. This anomaly is as obvious to the inspector as a candle in the dark.

Therefore, if the time retrograde army wants to help these Takeda troops, it is bound to make them mistakenly think that "they already have these grains."

It is difficult for them to change the total amount of things like rice and plums in the city without people noticing, but they don’t think about it when there is food, and the stems and ropes that can be used as food when there is no food are what they do. object.The bamboo strips of the basket are light and thin, but they are made very large. Therefore, there must be a circle of rope to fix it when it is used. After the time-traveling army replaced it with a stem rope made of taro stems, the hungry Takeda Sooner or later, the army will find these last foodstuffs, which can also be explained by the broken baskets that appear everywhere in the city.

The wall skin is even less of a problem.The time retrograde army once had the experience of hiding in the wall and rushing out to assassinate Matsunaga Hideo when he launched an explosion. The architectural techniques of the Warring States Period are still rough. As long as there are excellent commanders, the time retrograde army can replace the wall. It's not difficult.Even as long as the Takeda army has come to the end of the mountain and does not care about other situations, even if the replacement wall is suspicious, they will not care because of their desire for life.

Unlike rice, plums and other materials calculated by people, the wall skin made of taro stems can be preserved for a long time after it is air-dried. Even if it was pasted a few years ago, it does not prevent the hungry and dizzy Ashgaru from tearing it off and eating it.No one will count the number of ropes used to transport food and bind furniture. These too common things are not considered edible at all. Even if there are a large number of them at this moment, no one will deliberately recall that what they ate before was straw rope. Or stem rope.

"That's why I have to say that the time-traveling army is really too considerate." Mikazuki Zongjin said, "It should be a stable victory, but the torture of people's hearts in this long search for food...is it true? Was it negligent, or was it a deliberate omission?"

he said quietly.

"If we search outside the city again, I wonder if we will be lucky enough to see Mr. Takenaka's face"

"and many more!"

"Takenaka!"

"Mr. Takenaka will think of using taro stems as wall coverings!"

"Oh, after all, for those who have died and joined the time-traveling army, the past and the future are already known, and it is normal to be inspired." Unaware of what he said, Sanri Yuezong was extremely calm He waved his hand eagerly, and before Fu Sangshen, who was born in the hands of the same swordsmith and regarded as his own brother, could react, he laughed again to himself: "But now (going to see him) will only increase your troubles. Now that you are here, We still need to solve the matter of Gaotian Shencheng first. Do you have any good solutions?"

"...No, ask us if there is any good way...you brought me and Yanrong here for this, right?" Shiqiemaru rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly, "Peel off the wall, destroy the house— —No matter what, just draw the salary from the bottom of the pot.”

"The attack range and attack power of Odachi and Naginata are very high."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Mikazuki Zongjin didn't deny it, and said to Jinjian again, "Then I have to ask you to collect the stem ropes and hand them over to Qingguang."

"Well, there is no problem with this." Fu Sangshen, who has good eyesight and fast speed, tilted his head, "But, is there any problem with this?"

"Hahaha, there is no way." Mikazuki Zongjin replied, "They should have died in the first place. Compared to starving to death hopelessly, being beheaded by colleagues after mutiny, being forced to fight against Tokugawa and dying as a samurai, That's a good thing."

"In Tokugawa, there might be real life."

Seen on Baidu.At the end of the Warring States period, the famous fierce general Kato Kiyomasa had to eat the walls of Ulsan City to satisfy his hunger because he was besieged by the Chinese and North Korean coalition forces in North Korea.Affected by this layer of shadow, he used taro stems as the wall covering when he built Kumamoto Castle.
