The sound of horse hooves trampled on the road with heavy sounds, and the yellow gray smoke in the sky was flying. The rumbling steps were filled with ominous breath. The dense footsteps behind them were also neatly so that people felt a sense of fear and awe.

After Mao Jue's hesitation was exhausted for a few days, the Dongjiang Army still ignored the main force of the Maeda family in Kanazawa Castle and began to go south and launch an attack on the Kanto Plain according to the original plan.

Although it is an island country, Japan is a thorough agricultural country like the Ming Dynasty. The narrow Japanese official road is surrounded by lush farmland everywhere, and the green seedlings that have just emerged can be seen.

Even Confucius, who opposed the war, had a famous saying in the last few chapters of the Analects of Confucius that he did not teach the people to fight, which was called abandoning it. However, the Confucian country, whether it was the Ming Dynasty or the Japanese, seemed to have forgotten this sentence. After only twenty years of peace, when he saw the rolling army passing by, the farmers on both sides of the road did not know how to retreat. Some looked away from afar, while some were too close to him and simply knelt on the ground.

Fortunately, Mao Jue had no time to pay attention to them for the time being. The vanguard Liu's cavalry were only able to hurry up and rush to the road. The infantry carrying heavy muskets behind him were also looking at him. Time is money, and time is money life. These two famous sayings were unprecedentedly displayed at this moment. If you don't rush to attack Edo before the main force of the Kyushu shogunate retreated, you won't be able to get the money, and everyone will be sad.

But even though it was so dangerous, more than 10,000 Dongjiang Army still followed Mao Jue on his journey without hesitation, including several women.

The carriage was not working here. Adrena and Yu Leer had to follow the customs and put on a box-sized sedan in Japan, which was completely different from the large sedan in the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese sedan chair was also slapped. The sedan chair was placed under the leverage, and the Japanese sedan chairkeeper was also short. It is easy to imagine how frustrating the sedan chair was. Moreover, with the shorter figure than the Japanese, both girls were tall and tall. It would be very uncomfortable to be stuck in it.

"Hmph, the vixen! I'm tired of the old and the love man!"

Curled up in the sedan chair, wearing a pair of numb and slender thighs, Yu Le'er also looked out of the door of the sedan chair from time to time, looked forward sourly, and muttered constantly in her little mouth.

In her eyes, the one riding a horse next to Mao Jue was a female warrior with a long sword on her shoulder, wearing a red robe with a short lower skirt, revealing most of her toned long legs. Needless to say, she was naturally Maori Sakura, who had just been upgraded to Mao Jue's little surname.

Seeing Mao Jue whispering to the pirate girl from time to time and "swept with her ears", Yu Le'er couldn't help but grit her teeth, clattering her little tiger teeth.

Originally, if there was only one person in the sedan chair, Adrena would be more comfortable to sit, and she would have extra individuals to squeeze her books aside. When she heard the real girl complaining constantly, she couldn't read the map anymore. The foreign girl raised her head helplessly and rubbed her temples.

"I can't stand it, why are you here again?"

"How can you not follow me? If you don't come, you won't let that vixen succeed!"

"So what's going on when you come?"

This sentence made Yu Le'er feel terrified. Indeed, Mao Jue was still walking side by side with the pirate girl, while she was sitting in a stewed sedan chair behind her.

"Okay, our Jiang Ye is a big deal. If you want him to like you, just do more useful things."

This girl was not shaking anymore. The sedan chair was a little stable. Adrena expanded the map with her right hand, and looked at it, talking casually.

"What's useful?"

His eyes couldn't help but show a little confusion. Yu Le'er's little hand subconsciously touched his bulging breasts, and something seemed to be hidden inside.

Beside Mao Jue, Maori Sakura's black-clothed ghost-faced armor was now replaced by a samurai leader from the Nine Ghosts family to inherit it. The warrior's dark armor also carried a strange token high on his shoulders. A round cloth bag straw target was inserted into a large gourd and a large number of small gourds.

This thing is unusual. It is a special token that belongs to the representative of the Daming of the Warring States Period in Japan. The Imperial Horse Seal. This large and small gourd is also called the Qiancheng Gourd. It was a horse seal unique to Toyotomi Hideyoshi. At its peak, this Qiancheng Gourd was completely made of gold, which was the one captured by Mao Jue in the Joseon Kyoko of the Lee Family. However, at this time, there was obviously no such condition, and the gourd could only be carved from wood. Fortunately, the meaning needed to be expressed is similar.

Next to Maolu, there were also a few more female robes wearing Domain and a bright red ball behind her back. Dongjiang Army now also brought a little Japanese Warring States flavor, but now it is hard to say how effective it can be played with the Toyotomi family's signature.

Although it spans the entire Honshu Island, the straight line distance is not long. It takes about 500 miles, and Napoleon's legion marchs about eight to ten miles per hour. Mao Jue's legion is not much slower than him. He gets up early and rests late, and marches for ten hours a day. Normally, it takes five or six days to arrive.

However, this battle was abnormal. As he spoke, the Maeda family's Maeda family's Yuechu had completely finished walking, and the bulging hills in front of him began to appear in chaos.

The country of Shinno has a complex terrain and a mountain is here.

There are more than a bunch of hills here. The two most famous names in the history of the Warring States Period in Japan, Takeda Shingen and Kenshin Uesugi. The main stages of this life are almost all of this Shinoko River. The Takeda family and the Uesugi family fought five consecutive battles here, which can be regarded as the battle with the highest casualties in the history of the Warring States Period.

It can be seen that the danger here.

However, you can directly enter the Musashi Country where Edo is located. This Shinono River still has to leave.

"Master, go further and there is Yokogawa Mountain Road. Originally, Kita Shinobuno was the fief of the Uesugi family, but after the Battle of Sekihara, the Tokugawa family forcibly moved the Uesugi family and divided Kita Shinobu to visit Sanada. Wait for more than ten small vassals, and further south, it is the place where the Tokugawa family generals are directly led by the Tokugawa family. Although these small vassals are not strong, there are too many ants to bite the elephant to death. Their relationship with the Tokugawa family is still quite close, so the lord is more careful."

Looking at the narrow mountain road in front of him, which was even more difficult to walk through than the broken road under his feet, even Mao Jue couldn't help swallowing secretly. Then he waved his hand again. Liu Xingzuo, the former army, raised the military flag and roared loudly around the legion.

"The general has an order, march!"

…………

It is truly one of the few difficult places in Japan. In Sun Tzu's Art of War, such a terrain is called a branch. It is a place where the enemy is difficult to move, and our army is also a place where we are. Although there are not too high mountains and ridges and do not want to be as spectacular as Taihang Mountains, the hills on the border of this inland plateau are also rugged enough. Either the mountains have just melted and are particularly muddy paths, or they have to climb hills. Even if the Dongjiang River has six wheels and field red cannons wrapped in cowhide tires, it is a bit unfamiliar here.

"One, two, three, use your strength!"

Several mules and horses used to pull were pedaling their hooves in front, and a dozen infantrymen behind them also gritted their teeth and pushed them. For ten minutes, the heavy artillery was pushed out of the mud pit, but the next one was afraid to leave and had to mobilize more soldiers to log wood on the nearby hillside and throw it into the pit. After such delay, another half an hour passed. It began to enter Shinono at noon. It was five o'clock in the afternoon and only took more than twenty miles. Looking at the hilly and mountainous areas ahead, Mao Jue's brow couldn't help but jump.

No wonder the Japanese were unwilling to use cannons. This complex mountain shape and bulky cannon were simply a disaster.

But just as the Dongjiang army was struggling in the mountains of Shinono, the Maeda family in Kanazawa Castle was so lively that it was like a boiling pot. The Sanada family samurai who had been huddling in Kanazawa Castle seemed to be in heat like Spring. She carried a spear and a sword, and kept marching outside the city, and pulled into a team of elders.

Neck flags painted with family emblems similar to Poker Leaf Flowers are rippling spectacularly in the sunset.

The armor of the Wu family is all treasures passed down from generation to generation, and the Maeda family is no exception. The famous gold foil mattress of the Maeda family back then is now worn on the body of the contemporary Maeda family leader, Tatsuya Maeda. The unique helmet is more than half a meter high, sharp like a small mountain. The gilded armor on the body also reflects a dazzling yellow light. When riding a horse that is not much bigger than a donkey, the Maeda family leader was so excited that he held up a samurai sword and kept shouting.

"Tang Kou has been trapped and fallen into the Hengshan Road of Kitashino. These bastards dare to ignore our Hokuriku samurai and brazenly invade our Kaga sanctuary, kill the vassals, and rob the samurai property. Finally, it's time for us to take revenge! Armight, cut off the heads of the Tang people, so that they can see the power of the Maeda family samurai, hahahaha!"

It seemed that they had already predicted the victory and killed the Tang Kou all over the mountains. Maeda Tatsuya laughed loudly, and the ugly laughter even spread throughout Kanazawa City. However, the general was the courage of the soldiers. With his unrestrained laughter, the Maeda Samurai who was walking out of the formation seemed to have more confidence and wildness, and his short legs, like a carrot, were rushing a little faster.

On the other side of Shinono, Kawaakashima, the famous battlefield of the Takeda Uesugi family, the same team of samurai ants gathered here. Although the Japanese army was mainly hiding these days, they also made a lot of preparations in secret. Ishikawa, Sanada, and Sooshi visited the Sage Stone all gathered in Komoyama Castle, which was directly opposite Kawaakashi Island. Driven by the samurai, groups of farmers carried stones and blocked the road to Kawakai Musashi. A chest wall defense position more than one meter high has been almost built. Behind the wall, the special envoy sent by the Tokugawa family, Honta Tadato, a descendant of Honta Tadao, one of the four kings of Tokugawa, was tightly pressed to listen to the report of his subordinates. Even if the general Daming name was like him, his eyebrows were still twisted into a knot.

"Thousands of gourd horse seals? Five-seven Tong pattern flag, is this Tang Kou actually a remnant of Toyotomi family?"

The Toyotomi family is indeed a topic that is difficult to mention for the Tokugawa family, especially from last year to this year, the two Tang gang rebellions have caused a lot of controversy. If there is another shadow of the Toyotomi family, for the shogunate, it will not only be the impact of war, but also the political influence is extremely bad.

but!

Amid the clamor, dense iron cannons were placed on the chest wall. Behind, there were countless samurai coalition forces from Tokugawa family, Ishikawa, Sanada and other families. They were busy preparing for the battle. Looking at their eyes, they could not see the edge. Looking back at their army, Honda Tada also showed a sinister and evil smile in his narrow triangle eyes.
