All Heavens: Transcending Dimensions Starting with the Uchiha

Seeing this, Takeda Shingen shouted sharply, "Lord Kenshin! This is an opportunity not to be missed! Before he can establish a firm foothold, quickly surround him!"

Without hesitation, Uesugi Kenshin pointed his "Azuki Nagamitsu" sword forward: "All troops! Charge! Capture and kill Kirin!"

The remaining Takeda soldiers mustered their last courage and joined the Uesugi army in a massive charge against Uchiha Ebo's eight hundred cavalry!

The earth trembled under the iron hooves!

Facing an allied army several times their size and radiating menacing power, Uchiha Zang's eyes showed no fear, but rather gleamed with excitement.

He suddenly turned his horse around: "Retreat!"

The eight hundred cavalrymen, as if they had practiced a thousand times, turned their horses around in perfect unison without the slightest hesitation, and galloped toward the complex terrain on the flank with astonishing speed and discipline!

They did not flee in disarray, but rather, like nimble fish, they instantly escaped the frontal assault range of the enemy's main force.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away!"

Takeda Shingen's eyes turned red with anxiety.

Uesugi Kenshin frowned slightly, but the order had been given, and he could only command his army to pursue.

However, the nightmare had only just begun!

Chapter 252, Dominating the East, Gathering Fortune

Faced with the combined attack of the dragon and the tiger, Uchiha Sō brought the essence of guerrilla warfare from his past life to its fullest potential!

The eight hundred cavalrymen he led were all elites among elites, with unparalleled mobility in the world.

The sixteen-character mantra serves as the guiding principle for combat.

When the enemy advanced, we retreated. When the main force of the Uesugi-Takeda alliance pressed forward aggressively, the Hojo cavalry never engaged in a direct confrontation. Instead, they used their speed advantage to quickly create distance and disappear behind the hills and forests.

When the enemy camps and we harass them, and the allied forces are exhausted and stop to rest and cook, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves will suddenly rise from the flanks or rear!

Uchiha Sho led the charge, like the Grim Reaper descending, leading his cavalry like a whirlwind across the edge of the allied camp. The precise volleys of musket fire were like the Grim Reaper's scythe, instantly reaping a wave of lives!

After unleashing a hail of arrows and creating immense chaos, they vanished as swiftly as ghosts before the enemy could mount an effective counterattack.

The enemy was exhausted, so we attacked. After a day and a night of pursuit and constant harassment, the Allied soldiers were under high tension and exhausted.

The remnants of Takeda's army, in particular, were already terrified.

During what appeared to be a safe river crossing, Uchiha Eboshi's cavalry swooped down from upstream like ghosts!

He himself spurred his horse and charged into the shallows, his blade flashing like a bolt of lightning, cutting down several Takeda generals who were crossing the river, along with their horses, and they fell into the river!

The river water turned red instantly!

This surprise attack completely shattered the last will of resistance of the remaining Takeda troops, who scattered and fled.

As the enemy retreated, we pursued. When Uesugi Kenshin realized that they would be worn down and killed if things continued this way, he ordered a retreat. However, Uchiha Eboshi's cavalry followed closely behind, like a persistent leech, constantly harassing and attacking with small groups of troops. They kept the allied forces from escaping smoothly, and their morale continued to decline.

Uesugi Kenshin was a brilliant strategist who valued direct confrontations using the "chariot formation." He had never seen such a "rogue" yet highly efficient and deadly tactic.

He had tens of thousands of troops, but it was like punching cotton – he had no way to use his strength.

The troops were exhausted and demoralized, and the supply train was repeatedly attacked, resulting in a continuous increase in wounded.

Takeda Shingen was like a trapped beast, watching his last bit of strength being devoured, his anger and frustration overwhelming him, yet he was helpless.

Uchiha Sō perfectly demonstrated what it means to "win with the orthodox and with the unorthodox" through his actions!

Just as the Uesugi-Takeda allied forces were suffering from the guerrilla tactics of the Uchiha Elephant and were exhausted to the extreme, dust rose again on the distant horizon!

It swept in like a tsunami!

It was Hojo Ujiyasu, Hojo Tamemasa, and Akechi Mitsuhisa.

After quickly dealing with the Kawagoe battlefield and incorporating a large number of surrendered soldiers, they arrived without stopping, leading the main force of the Hojo army—a highly motivated and well-equipped army of tens of thousands!

"Lord of the family! Hojo Ujiyasu/Hojo Tamemasa/Akechi Mitsuhisa have come to lend their support!"

The three men's loud voices echoed across the battlefield, and the Hojo army erupted in a roar like a tsunami:

"Qilin! Qilin! Qilin!"

The timing was impeccable!

The Uesugi-Takeda allied forces were already exhausted and demoralized. When they suddenly saw the Hojo fresh troops charging in all directions, their last bit of will to resist collapsed instantly!

"It's over...it's all over!"

"If a tiger is born, why is a unicorn born?"

Seeing this desperate scene, Takeda Shingen spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision went black, and he almost fell off his horse.

Uesugi Kenshin's face was ashen; he knew the situation was hopeless.

He took a deep look at the black figure standing tall and commanding like a war god in the distance—the Kirin of Sagami.

A complex emotion flashed in his eyes—anger, resentment, and a hint of indescribable awe.

"Lord Kenshin! Quickly retreat to Echigo! We'll plan a later strategy!"

Takeda Nobushige desperately protected his brother, shouting at Uesugi Kenshin.

Uesugi Kenshin knew that if the fighting continued, the elite troops of Echigo would be wiped out.

He yanked the reins sharply, his voice resolute: "All troops! Towards Echigo! Break out! Retreat!"

He made the most difficult yet wisest decision: abandoning the rearguard that was being held back by the main force of the Hojo clan, he led his core cavalry, protecting the Takeda brothers, and desperately broke through towards Echigo.

The allied forces, having lost their commander and core members, have completely collapsed!

Like a sandbar breached by a giant wave, the main force of the Hojo army, under the command of Akechi Mitsuhiro, swept across like an iron torrent!

Muskets roared, spears thrust forward, and blades flashed!

This was a one-sided massacre and reaping!

The shouts of battle, the cries of agony, the clashing of weapons, and the neighing of warhorses blended into a brutal symphony of the end of the Warring States period.

Uchiha Sho did not personally pursue the fleeing Ryuko. He reined in his horse and stood on a high slope, coldly looking down at the carnage below.

As dawn finally pierced the clouds, golden sunlight shone on his blood-stained black armor and the Qilin banner, making him shine like a god descending.

His fame, along with this epic victory, will resound throughout Japan like the legend of "a unicorn riding the clouds"!

The foundation for the hegemony of the Kanto region was laid in this battle!

……

News of the great victory at the Kawagoe-Musashi Plain swept across the Japanese archipelago like a hurricane!

The name of Uchiha Sō (Hōjō Akitoki), the Kirin of Sagami, is so powerful that it makes even the most famous figures in the land tremble with fear!

His reputation in Northeast China is well-deserved!

After the war, the Hojo clan's power expanded rapidly. Large and small powerful clans in the Kanto region surrendered one after another, offering hostages and pledges of allegiance.

Uchiha Eiji did not simply kill indiscriminately, but instead used a combination of kindness and force to quickly integrate his vast territory and population resources.

"The most important things for a country are military affairs, sacrifices, and agriculture."

Uchiha Eiji, born in China, knew this better than anyone.

To maintain a strong military, a solid logistical foundation is required.

While he used an iron fist to reorganize the newly annexed territories, he established an efficient administrative system and promoted the prototype of "separation of soldiers and farmers," separating elite professional warriors (bannermen) from farmers and soldiers.

On the other hand, they turned their attention to a more fundamental issue—food.

While surveying the vast Musashi Plain, looking at the desolate yet fertile land after the war, Uchiha Sō issued a far-reaching order:

He began promoting artificial composting. He gathered experienced farmers in his territory and, combining his vague knowledge from his previous life (the fermentation of manure, wood ash, and humus), personally explained and demonstrated the process. He then ordered all villages to implement the new composting technology and established a reward and punishment system.

Although it initially met with resistance from some conservative farmers, it quickly spread after Uchiha Sō's insistence and after witnessing the astonishing yield of the experimental fields.

He implemented a large-scale military settlement system, organizing a large number of surrendered and captured soldiers (especially ronin and peasant soldiers who had lost their masters) and some landless refugees, and designated large areas of "military settlement and land reclamation" in strategic locations and fertile areas such as the Musashi Plain and Sagami Plain.

These garrison soldiers served as soldiers during wartime and farmed during peacetime. The Hojo family provided them with farm tools, seeds, and some rations, and they handed over a portion of their harvest.

This move achieved multiple benefits: it resettled unstable elements, developed wasteland, provided a stable source of military food, and cultivated a semi-professional reserve force.

The settlements themselves also served as military strongholds for controlling local areas and transmitting information.

At the same time, Uchiha Sō also promoted water conservancy projects, encouraged land reclamation, and ordered local lords to organize manpower to dredge waterways, build ponds, and improve irrigation.

At the same time, a decree was promulgated that those who reclaimed wasteland would be exempt from taxes for several years, and the land would belong to the reclaimers (who would then have to pay annual tribute to the Hojo family).

This greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of farmers.

These measures injected tremendous power into the Hojo clan's war machine.

Grain production increased visibly, and granaries gradually became full.

A steady supply of food and a steadily growing population supported the Hojo army's expansion at an unprecedented rate.

With superior weapons and armor, ample gunpowder, and well-fed elite soldiers, the Hojo clan's war potential, like wild grass growing wildly in spring, instilled a suffocating fear in all potential enemies.

Uchiha Eiji stood atop the newly rebuilt and more magnificent castle tower of Kawagoe, gazing at the fertile plains stretching for miles in the distance.

Between the fields, soldiers and farmers were working hard. The newly piled manure gave off the smell of soil, and clear spring water flowed through the newly built ditches.

The scars of war are being healed, replaced by a vibrant scene.

His gaze was profound, as if it pierced through time and space.

Consolidating the Northeast is only the first step.

Gathering the blessings of humanity, exploring the origins of this world, establishing stable pathways... and the scattered fragments of the Shikon Jewel, as well as powerful beings hidden in the shadows of history... his journey has only just begun.

The land beneath his feet will become the solid fulcrum he uses to move the entire world.

"My current 'luck' is finally enough for me to plant the seed of the divine tree in this world without being targeted by the 'Heavenly Dao consciousness' of this realm!"

"Next, we will plant the divine tree, nurture it, and gradually open the passage to the Great Luo Realm..."

Chapter 253, Planting the Divine Tree

Originally, the Divine Tree Seed of the Otsutsuki Clan in Naruto required the sacrifice of an Otsutsuki to plant, and then the absorption of energy from the entire planet to allow it to take root, sprout, blossom, and bear fruit.

The "fruit" that grows, once eaten by the Otsutsuki clan, will continuously evolve until they become supreme "gods".
