Tsuno Kahei's face immediately changed when he heard the shouting of killing, because the shouting of killing came from the eastern side of the mountain.

"Could it be that the secret passage has been discovered by the Katayama family? How did they find out? Pingji? Damn it. "The secret passage on the east side of the mountain is known to only a few people in the Tsuno people, and when I think of Tsuno Hirayoshi's back judgment, Ritsuno Kahei immediately understands what is going on. At this time, the Katayama army on the east side was about to kill Kamitsuno Yoshihei's house.

The situation was critical, and Tsuno Kahei didn't have time to think about it, he eagerly shouted to the people around Tsuno, who were also a little at a loss. "Don't panic, everyone, the Katayama Army hasn't rushed up yet. Now all the young men followed the main hall to block the enemy from the east side, and the women and old men stayed behind to defend the west side. With that, Tsuno Kahei took the lead and rushed to the east.

After panicking for a while, the people of Tsuno also acted quickly according to Tsuno Yoshihei's order. The young men of the Tsuno people followed Tsuno Yoshihei with bamboo guns and short knives to defend against the Ashigaru who attacked from the east side of the Katayama family, while the remaining old and weak women and children moved the rocks and logs to the west to guard against the sneak attack of the Katayama army.

Seeing this, Matsugami Yoshimitsu also prepared to go to the east to block the attacking Katayama army with the Tsuno people, but at this time, Saigo Takahisa, who had been guarding him, quietly pulled him down.

"Lord, it seems that this place can't be defended. After a while, if the situation changes, under the guard, you will secretly fight out. Saigo Takahisa took the opportunity to suggest to Matsugami Yoshimitsu. Matsugami Yoshimitsu thought about it, but he still didn't take Saigo Takahisa's suggestion.

"Takahisa, this temple knows your loyalty. The main hall is not pedantic. However, at this time, we have a chance to survive by staying with the Tsuno people, otherwise you and I alone would not have been able to break through the heavy encirclement of the Katayama army. Now we can only advance and retreat together with the Tsuno people. ”

"Haha." Saigo Takahisa obeyed Matsukami's decision. Then Matsugami Yoshimitsu took Saigo Takahisa to the east side of Mount Kaiba to support the Tsuno people led by Tsuno Yoshihei.

By the time Matsugami Yoshimitsu and the others followed behind Tsuno and rushed to the east side, Tsuno Kahei had already begun to fight with the first Tsuno and the Katayama army led by Kondo Yoshitsuna. Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw it and hurriedly drew his sword and rushed to support. Thankfully, the secret passage on the eastern side of Mount Kaiba was so narrow that it could only accommodate two or three ashigaru in parallel, so even though the Katayama army was outnumbered, it could not be attacked for a while. However, after all, the Katayama army was outnumbered, and under their strong attack, the Tsuno people suffered heavy casualties and gradually fell behind. Kondo Yoshitsuna, who was commanding the attack of the Katayama Army, was overjoyed when he saw the Tsuno people showing their declining momentum. "Quick, attack. The people of Tsuno couldn't hold it anymore. ”

"Haha." After listening to Kondo Yoshitsuna's words, the ashigaru of the Katayama family was greatly boosted and intensified their attack.

In this way, the defeat of the Tsuno people, who were already gradually exhausted, became even more obvious, and the two sides fought for less than a quarter of an hour, and everyone was already wounded. Even Matsugami Yoshimitsu who had Saigo Takahisa on his side to protect him suffered a few minor injuries, not to mention the rest. At this time, several of the Katayama family's Ashigaru had already reached the top of the mountain, and the Katayama army, which was waiting on the west side of the mountain, also began to launch a fierce attack on Tsuno Kaheirayashiki, which was located at the top of the mountain.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that Mt. Kaiba was about to be unable to hold on, so he slashed over a piece of Nakayama in front of him and persuaded Tsuno Yoshihei, who was desperately killing the enemy. "Jiaheidian, the Katayama army in the west has also begun to attack. Now it seems that Benye Mountain can't hold it. There are fewer Katayama troops in the west, so now we might as well take advantage of the fact that the Katayama army has not yet closed up here and lead the villagers to break through from the west. I'm afraid it won't be possible to protect the people of Tsuno. ”

Tsuno Kahei also felt a little difficult in the face of the attack of the Katayama family at this time, and he knew that something was wrong. He immediately shouted. "Retreat, retreat, run down the hill from the west." With that, he led the Tsuno people and began to retreat to the west.

After reaching the west, the Katayama army on the west side was only a dozen meters away from them, and the Katayama army on the east side also followed closely. When Kahei Tsuno saw this, he was about to take people down the mountain to kill. Matsugami Yoshimitsu happened to see the rockfall and rolling wood piled on the west side at this time, and hurriedly said. "Jiaping Palace, why don't we throw all these rolling logs down, and then we will rush down after the rolling logs."

Tsuno Kahei thought about it and felt that it made sense, and hurriedly said. "Quick, throw all these logs down the hill. It is true that the Tsuno people are not panicked in the face of such a dangerous situation, and they quickly threw all the rolling logs down the mountain after listening to Tsuno Yoshihei's order. At this time, the Katayama army on the west side of the mountain was thinking about going up the mountain to make meritorious contributions, and they didn't expect that the Tsuno people would even think of attacking them. So by the time they found the fallen logs, it was too late, and they were smashed by the falling logs that were rolling down quickly. Seeing this, Tsuno Kahei was overjoyed and hurriedly ran down the mountain with the Tsuno people, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu also took Saigo Takahisa to follow closely when he saw this. By the time Kondo Yoshitsuna and the ashigaru of the Katayama family chased them to the west side of the mountain, they had already fled to the foot of the mountain.

Kondo Yoshitsuna didn't expect that he couldn't wipe out the Tsuno people in one fell swoop and capture Matsugami Yoshimitsu alive after all his efforts now, looking at Matsugami Yoshimitsu and their quickly moving away figures, he said angrily. "Chase, chase. None of them can be spared. With that, Kondo Yoshitsuna chased after him with the ashigaru of the Katayama family. At this time, after repeated losses, the Katayama army, which attacked the Tsuno people, was less than 80 people. ......

Tsuno Yoshihei and Matsugami Yoshimitsu led the Tsuno people to run for an hour before stopping at a fork in the road, one leading to Matsugami's house and the other to Umedo's house. Matsugami Yoshimitsu naturally rushed to Matsukami's house, but Kahei Tsuno faced a dilemma. It's close to Umedo's house, but because of Matsugami Yoshimitsu, the people of Tsuno went to Matsugami's house and got more help.

At this time, the people of Tsuno were already sleepy and tired, and many of the old and weak had even collapsed to the ground. Kahei Tsuno looked at the old and weak all over the place, struggling for a while, and said to Yoshimitsu Matsugami. "Yiguang Temple, let's separate here. This place is closer to the Umedo house, so I'm going to flee to the direction of the Umedo house with the Tsuno people. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu listened to Tsuno Kahei's decision and said eagerly. "Jiaping Palace, how can you survive when you bring so many people to the territory of the Meihu family? What will you do if the Umedo family doesn't accept you? The original promise is still valid, so come to my Matsugami house together. "If Matsugami Yoshimitsu used to value the strength of the Tsuno people, then after this confrontation with the Katayama army, he now values the talent of Tsuno Yoshihei even more. After all, for him at the moment, talent is more important than strength.

Tsuno Kahei was greatly affected after listening to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's words, after all, more than half of the young and strong people in Tsuno are now of little value. Matsugami Yoshimitsu is still willing to accept the Tsuno people at this time, which is a very heavy kindness. But Kahei Tsuno still refused. "Yiguang Temple, your kindness is remembered. But judging from the current situation of the Tsuno people, I am afraid that there is not much strength to rush to the territory of the Matsugami family. ”

"Your Highness Jiaping, you should take the younger generation and Yoshimitsu to Matsugami's house together. We old guys can't run, and we don't want to run, so let's stay behind to block the pursuers of the mountain family. At this time, an old man in the Tsuno crowd persuaded Tsuno Yoshihei.

When Tsuno Kahei heard this, his face immediately changed, and he said bluntly. "Uncle Sakichi, what do you say? The Umedo family arrived soon, and everyone would be safe in a few moments. You ......"

Before Yoshihei Tsuno could finish speaking, he was interrupted by that Sakichi. "Your Highness Jiaping, can you guarantee that the Umedo family will accept us? What if the Umedo family evicts us? We can't drag down the whole village. ”

"Yes, Big Brother Sakichi is right. If His Royal Highness Jiaping doesn't listen to Big Brother Sakichi, we old guys will die here right now. ”

"Your Highness Jiaping, you have to think about the survival of the entire village." As soon as Sakichi finished speaking, some of the old people around him also persuaded him. Matsugami Yoshimitsu also persuaded at this time.

"Jiaheiden, let's go to Matsugami's house with Zaixia. The people of Tsuno can't even have a person to take revenge. Tsuno Kahei looked at the resolute old people and said bitterly.

"Okay, this hall will definitely avenge everyone."

Old man Sakichi said with a smile when he heard this. "Okay, let's go. We will wait for your good news in the Buddha Kingdom. ”

Kahei Tsuno shouted with tears in his eyes. "Let's go, go to Matsugami's house."

"Haha." The surrounding Tsuno people replied heavily. Then Tsuno Yoshihei led the hope of the Tsuno people and Matsugami Yoshimitsu to rush to the direction of the Matsugami family, while more than 30 old people of the Tsuno people, including Sakichi, stayed in place to intercept the pursuers of the Katayama family.
