In the early morning of November 24, just as the sky was dawn, Yu Qiuping had already commanded Liao Yuanbei, Wan Junbei, Ming Di and Tong Wallbei braved the heavy snow to rush to a point north of the snowfield - Yu Qiuping could only use "points" to describe that place, because the map given to him by the Beiludao Legion did not mark what that point was at all, and their horses were always pressed near the army, and they could not find out what it was at all.

The reason why Yu Qiuping used the army to rush there was a desperate move because the point was marked on the map of Takenaka Shige. If calculated based on the geographical location, it was there. This seemingly joking plan was a trap set by Takenaka Shige after careful consideration and three attacks.

Takenaka Shigeji marked the location where the Red Leaf Army was attacked three times, and then used these three points to create a circle - this circle passed through these three points at the same time. In other words, the center of this circle is the point at the same distance from these three points.

"The Uesugi army is also a human being. If you want to eat, they also have supply problems. This cavalry led by Kenshin Uesugi himself cannot rely on the supply of Ekisugi Nakaku - it is too far away. On such a snowy day, it is difficult for us to supply them and they are also difficult for them to supply. They must have set up a supply point nearby in Kaga Country where a large amount of food was stored there." After Fukuzawa Yunan got the paper from Takenaka Shige, he immediately understood Takenaka Shige's intention, "But this method also has disadvantages - the Ekigo army must return to that place to eat every day. In other words, their range of activities cannot be too far from that supply point."

"If it is for the safety of the supply point, it must be set as far away from the official road as possible. In other words, the place where the official road is located should be the limit distance of the Echigo cavalry starting from the supply point. As long as we lock the location of the at least three attacks, we can infer the location of the supply point." Fukuzawa Yunan became more and more shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "I am worthy of being Takenaka... I can actually think of that floor."

"It's worthy of being a half-soldier guard..." Yu Qiuping also sighed similarly in the Red Leaf Army at this moment, "Kong Ming deserves his reputation today."

However, Yu Qiuping also silently added in his heart: "I hope his body will not be like Prime Minister Zhuge..."

Although the goal of this trip was a bit illusory, out of trust in Takenaka Shigeji, the Red Leaf Army members regarded it as a foregone conclusion. The horses and ninjas scattered the intelligence network around the army. With such a powerful Red Leaf Army as their backing, these horses and ninjas were also more confident. The Xuanyuanli Ninjas of the Uesugi family would naturally not miss the actions of such a large-scale Red Leaf Army. Not long after, they could see thick black smoke ignited in the heavy snow behind a hill not far north.

"It's really here!" The soldiers and officers of the Red Leaf Army shouted excitedly when they saw this.

"The Uesugi family cannot use the 1,500 cavalry to rush to our four reserve teams. Only by withdrawing this path can we go." Yu Qiuping ordered the flag bearer to signal the entire army to accelerate. "Kenshi Uesugi has probably burned the supply points and food to retreat now, so let's hurry up."

After the Red Leaf Army arrived at the ignition site, a lot of the food stored by the Uesugi family was left and not burned, and they were rescued by the Red Leaf Army. It can be identified from these bags containing military rations that these were previously stored grains from the Hokuriku Legion. They were seized by the Uesugi army and transported here. One of them was even found.

There is a seal of the seal of the guardian general of the Great Jiang Castle, and the Great Jiang Castle is the west-west of the cities in eastern Kaga. If Great Jiang Castle has fallen, it is estimated that the cities in front of them that have no news will be in danger.

After destroying the stronghold located at the western end of Kaga Kingdom, the attack problem that has been plaguing the Red Leaf Army was also solved. Out of caution, Yu Qiuhei still dismantled the wall into three parts to support him, but the Uesugi army did not come again. Thinking of this, Yu Qiuhei couldn't help but feel a little scared - if Takenaka Shigeji had not seen through the existence of that stronghold and the Red Leaf Army was advancing on its own, the entire supply line would probably suffer.

However, the situation of the Red Leaf Army gradually improved, and the disease of Zhuzhong Shenhui became more and more serious. In the past few days, Zhuzhong Shenhui could no longer get up and was in a daze. Yu Qiuping saw it in his eyes and was anxious. He burned Wangwang's fire in the tent of Zhuzhong Shenhui, and even urgently attracted a famous doctor from Kinki to diagnose him.

On November 27, the Red Leaf Army marched 10 miles west of Imaijiang Castle. On this day, the ninjas and small cavalry teams that the Uesugi family originally took the opportunity became active again. They intercepted the Ninjas and horses of the Red Leaf Army everywhere in the snowy days, forcing the Red Leaf Army to shrink the intelligence barrier again. Yu Qiuping understood that the short peace had only been because the supply of the Uesugi army did not support them in the snow field and entangled with the Red Leaf Army. When they had a city as a supply support, the previous harassment would become frequent again. Yu Qiuping ordered the troops to raise their alert status to the highest level, and the company prepared for the wall patrols around each reserve. However, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and Echigo's food could not be transported. In order to save military rations, the Uesugi army should only send small troops to harass them.

In the early morning of November 28, Fukushima Ansei received emergency information from the horse detective at the southernmost position of Takabashi.

"The banner of Takahiro Hojo, a mixed army of infantry and cavalry." The provocateur pointed to the dark shadows visible in the heavy snow in the east, "the number of people is about 1,500, all war soldiers."

"Isn't it the Echigo cavalry before?" Fukushima Anse frowned and his expression became serious.

"No, sir, I didn't see the 'Bi' flag."

"Then please remind the entire army to pay attention immediately. What we may not be harassing, but the main force of the Uesugi family. We have made a mistake in our judgment, not just a small group of enemy troops." Fukushima Yasumi tightened the tether of his helmet and whispered, "The whole army! Get ready to fight!"

"Do you want to ask for reinforcements from the Second Company of the Copper Wall?" The envoy beside Ansei Fukushima tied the reins and asked for instructions to Ansei Fukushima.

"Report the situation, but don't rush to support it. It may be a trick to attack the east and west." Fukushima Ansei told a few words carefully, then patted the messenger's butt, "Go."

At the same time, in front of the steep mountains not far north of Changpan, the Water Atomic Sutra also saw the Uesugi army slowly walking out of the snow mist.

"Kashizaki Kei family... It's really as the ninja said, it's not the cavalry team before. Echizen's first fierce general, and he never lost after he recovered from the serious illness..." Mizuaoko pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and ordered the messenger, "It's very likely that the Uesugi family army is in front of us. I remind everyone to be on guard and ask for help from the Second Company of the Tongwai."

It was not only Chang Panbei and Jinlingbei who were attacked by the enemy. At this moment, Mingdibei and Wanjunbei were also watching.

In the wilderness, Saito Asahinobu, who secretly detoured from the snowfield to the north, was found. Kazuka Keika's troops were found. While they entered the war preparations in pairs, they also warned the surrounding friendly forces like Tobaba and Junlingbei.

When Yu Qiuhei, who led the third company of Liaoyuan and Tongwai, received news like snowflakes, he immediately realized that they had encountered the main force of the Uesugi army, rather than being harassed like before.

"The First Company and the Second Company immediately reinforced. The Third Company of the Tongwai broke away from Liaoyuan and quickly stepped forward to cover the cover. Liaoyuan was cut off and covered the civilian team." Yu Qiuping began to issue orders like flowing water, and reminded with some concern, "Our troops are far apart, so we must stick to our positions to avoid being surrounded by the enemy and defeated them."

"Is there a high ground nearby?" After arranging the order, Yu Qiuping tried to find a high ground to take charge of the overall situation and command. However, both sides of the nearby official road were empty and there was no place with a good view. Yu Qiuping couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. The heavy snow around him greatly reduced the visibility, making him almost unable to see hundreds of meters. Under such conditions, he could not conduct effective commands - you may not necessarily rely on the military sent from the front to command based on your imagination.

"Maybe I should follow the third company of the Tongwai Company? Go and have a look?" A thought came to Yu Qiuping's mind, but at this time, the third company of the Tongwai Company had already sped far away. The broken snow that had risen on the official road had gradually fallen, and it was too late to keep up.

"It's really a headache to be completely suppressed in intelligence. I'm like a blind man, looking at everything around me." Yu Qiuping spread his hands, pretended to be blind, and smiled bitterly at Masayuki Sanada beside him, "I must practice the snow battle when I go back to this battle."

"Yes, Your Highness." Masayuki Sanada sighed in his hand, "The more you go north, the lower the temperature, the heavier the snow, and the harder it is. This battle is getting harder and harder."

"There are so many patients, and now it's probably thousands." Yu Qiuping looked at the long team of civilians in the distance, and many people were supporting the patients. Although it was not helpful to make patients marching in such ice and snow, Yu Qiuping had no good idea. After entering eastern Kaga, he could hardly find any strongholds in the hands of the Oda family to place the patients. Instead of sending these wounded and sick people to the Dasheng Temple Castle, it would be better to take them closer to the Imperial City. Except for a few patients with high fever that could not move, Yu Qiuping asked the civilians to support them in the marching.

The battle reports on the front line continued to be returned, and the Uesugi army on all roads had a tug-of-war with the Red Leaf Army. With the support of the walls, all units had stabilized their positions, and there was no situation of surround and attack that Yu Qiuhei was worried about. However, Uesugi Kenshi's own troops, the Echigo cavalry that had come and go a few days ago, had not appeared, which made Yu Qiuhei quite worried.

"Your Highness..." Just when Yu Qiuhei was worried, Masayuki Sanada next to him suddenly changed his face.

"What's wrong, Hibingwei?" Yu Qiuhei came back to his senses and looked at Masayuki Sanada with a solemn expression.

"Please send a visitor to expand the search range around our team immediately." Masayuki Sanada widened his eyes, as if he wanted to see something from the snow fog.

Before Yu Qiuping could send the horse out, broken snow had already risen on the snow field in the north.
