1014 Episode 113: How to Win and Lose

Side: Nagano Shinto

You finally attacked me. I managed to defeat the attacker, which greatly boosted my morale. Is this how the northerners retreat? I hear everyone was happy that this castle didn't fall early, but it's not that sweet.

"You think they found our ambush?

"Hah, maybe...."

The minister who entrusted the mountain road reported that it was worrying.

I can't help it. There are not many soldiers. We can't afford to keep the castle guards and ambushes on the mountain path. There is no other way to get to the castle, including the Beast Road. Further into the mountains, walking the road without roads can be very difficult.

You shouldn't think that the sight went into the mountain quite a bit.

"It doesn't look like a Hokkien. Do you still owe Oda your wisdom?

It is strong compared to Kitano. However, it is completely different from the battle of Kitano that you have provoked us with the noise of sumo since the start of the battle.

I am also concerned that the connection from the castle in the territory is interrupted. There is no connection from the castle, especially in the north. I have ordered you not to force it, but that is the castle Oda dropped or seized.

"How much food do we have?

"Ha, I'm still expecting a month."

A month. You can't. Don't wait that long. You should be thanking Oda for not being dropped overnight.

"You should have enough food for a day. Let everyone have a full meal."

"Well then, sir...."

Do many of my servants look confused in my life?

"I'll tell everybody. We lost this fight. I will descend to the north."

"What a weakness! This castle won't fall so easily!

"That's right. Watch us die!

Isn't that bullshit? I suppose that's what you thought. For a little while he was quiet, but when he found out that I meant it, the militants shouted.

"I may be able to protect you. But that's for once. If Oda sends 10,000 soldiers, it's over. I also hear that the majority of the 48 northern Ise families lost their territory and that Seki was attacked by Oda. It would be a good time. We have to obey them."

We all know that. If Oda is serious, she won't be able to win. I'm not incompetent in relation to Seki. That's why we lost everything in a day or two.

You can protect yourself. However, if Kitayoshi abandons his appearance and asks Oda to do it, it will be over. If we crush the face of Kitano, we will have a new cause.

Maintain the appearance of the houses of Kitano and Nagano and keep the house alive. There are by no means many of them.

"Now, cook the rice. You may serve alcohol as well. Let's celebrate that we all protected the castle."

Besides, we're not going back to the coast anyway. I don't know if it will be Oda's or Kitayoshi's, but there is no reason to return it to us. Speaking of the main castle, I can't tell you that I protected one of these castles.

The servants who had boiled by defeating the northerners quietly drowned. Some of them cry. Protect Nagano's house, which has been preserved for generations, and those who reveal their anger with remorse.

Some have lost everything in one place, like the people of northern Ise. Compared to that, I think we all did the same. My ancestors will forgive me. "

"Your Highness...."

"Thank you very much."

I can hear the noise of the soldiers outside. But it wasn't much of a fight with the wildlife. Still, I was able to fight in the field and the cage castle. How did everybody do it?

I don't mind fighting. But we must not just crush the house. I don't know how many conditions the Hokkaido will impose on us, but I'll leave the house.

Now, let's celebrate what we were able to protect today and step on it one more time. Surrender with one last gesture.

Side: Spring

The next day, Kita is attacking the castle on the same scale as the day before. We weren't ready for the ambush.

The previous day it was a virtual scout, but today it is a scout who sees the enemy's movements in the same way.

I needed time to teach the ambushes how to use the baked balls. Oda's branding balls have several sizes and types, but in order to throw away castles, it is preferable to tie the branding balls around and throw them in.

It's hard to see easily. Not to mention the poor scaffolding and throwing trees into the castle in the mountains. There are other prototypes of people-sized catapults that we can handle, but we can't lend them to the north.

Nagano Castle needs to be dropped because it is dominated by Kitano. We'll send troops to the ambush, but most of them will be North Korean soldiers. Perhaps the Chancellor can be trusted. But I can't tell you that the soldiers in the north won't tell anyone about the catapults.

Sounds, fireworks, maybe.

"Is that it?"

In the summer, I went to teach training to throw branded balls. I will fill in the details of the Young Hall and the castle attack strategy. "Sound Fireworks" It only makes a loud explosion sound, but it's enough for Nagano's miscellaneous soldiers. It could be given to the body that attacked the mountain path.

There is no problem if we do not prevent them from being taken back here with a military superintendent and left behind.

"If you don't surrender, you'll be done holding the mountain trail. I can carry a wooden cannon."

I think I will surrender if I go to the castle gate in Juchugaku. This fight is over if we can get the wooden cannon to the castle gate. Unless the northerners depend on wooden cannons.

"Will Ise calm down when this place falls?

"Oda will calm down. Kitami will have a hard time. I don't think it's enough to start a war."

Looking at Ise's map, it was quite refreshing. Young Master is right, this is probably the last major battle in Ise. There's likely to be a rebellion in Kitami, but I don't think it's going to affect us.

"You learn a lot by watching people fight."

"I see. I think so, too. Everyone's desperate. We have to feed them in the future."

Take a breath and make tea. Young Master seems to be learning a lot in this battle. There are some experiences that are not enough because they have gained a lot of experience that they did not have in history because they were with us. You must confront someone who boasts family and blood.

I can't crush it with force, but I want to find a way to live together. Because there are many potential Japanese enemies out there.
