Chapter 6: The Burning of Liangmu Village

Matsugami Castle Assessment Room.

Looking at the confused eyes around him, Matsugami Yoshimitsu immediately explained. "This time, my family is a battle for survival, and the Xinjin Shenmu family is here to plunder. Therefore, my family can fight to the death, but the two families of Xinjin Shenmu are not. On the battlefield, it is not only about morale, but also about whether it has the will to die. This was the family's first chance to win. Second, the enemies who came this time were divided into two Xinjin Shenmu, and Shenmu Changping was the general general. The strength of the Xinjin family is much stronger than the Shenmu family, and the weak side is used to command the strong side, I don't think the likes of Shenmu Changping have that kind of weapon. This is the family's second chance to win. As for the third chance to win, the lord will depend on the geographical advantage. Liangmu Village is poor, and the houses there are mainly thatched. Now is also the time when the weather is dry, if we take advantage of the enemy's garrison to attack and disrupt the enemy army with fire, and then our own army will rush to attack. As long as you take Shenmu Changping, the family will win. Lord, make a decision. ”

At this time, the fighter plane was fleeting, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu was also a little uncalm.

"It's nonsense, how can Yoshikoden conclude that the enemy army must be stationed in Liangmu Village, what if they go straight to our Songshang Castle without stopping? Besides, the two families of Xinjin Shenmu are stationed together, and the Shenmu family is not worried that the Xinjin family is a behemoth. Even if Yoshikoden's plan comes true, how will the family face the anger of the Shinjin family. Lord, don't listen to the demagoguery of others, the survival of your family is the most important. "Ohno Heinobu has always looked down on the new retainer because he is a retainer of the Pudai family, and at this time, seeing that the lord is about to be moved and does not take his opinion, it has become a bit of a battle of will.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki, who was already about to be moved by Matsugami Yoshimitsu's words, listened to Ohno Heinobu's words and became a little at both ends again.

The amount of this lord's instrument is too small. At this time of danger, how can you hesitate if you don't make a decision immediately, this is a big taboo. Looks like I'm going to have to add another fire. Matsugami had to tell him some of his arrangements in advance. "My lord, night fighting is a taboo for soldiers. Shenmu Changping took advantage of the situation and would not easily get into danger. I left a large amount of grain and grass in Liangmu Village, and the peasants and soldiers did not have a stipend, so they made money from plundering. Tonight the hearts of the army will be scattered. Liangmu Village, they are stayed. In addition, the Xinjin family is not monolithic, and I have sent someone to meet the young master of the Xinjin family in advance. It will definitely fight for a glimmer of life for the family. The lord must decide. After Matsugami finished speaking, he looked at Matsugami Yoshiyuki and didn't say a word. To be honest, if Matsugami Yoshiyuki still doesn't make a decision, he can only find a way to go to another house.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki is a bit measured. He also knew that the Matsugami family had reached the stage of life and death, so he couldn't hesitate. Matsugami and his entourage made a decision in the bottom of their hearts, and their eyes gathered and said loudly. "The main hall has made a decision, and immediately set off, the enemy is in Liangmu Village." "Hey." Seeing that the lord had made a decision, the retainers answered loudly. So the Matsugami army began to rush to Ryoki Village overnight.

Around Liangmu Village, the Shinjin Army camp.

At this time, the two peasant soldiers were complaining about the unfair treatment of their families.

"The strength of this family is much stronger than that of the Shenmu family, and this family's dispatch of troops this time is also to assist the Shenmu family in fighting. But they asked me to stay outside the village and occupy the village by myself. The young master doesn't know to object, this is really detrimental to the prestige of my Xinjin family!"

"Who's to say it isn't? That's it, and they also took up most of the spoils, which is really hateful. "None of the two peasant soldiers noticed that two black colors sneaked into the camp while they were complaining.

At this time, the young master of the Xinjin family was in the camp of the Shinjin Guangguo. Mitsukuni Shintsu is studying The Tale of Genji, which is a very strange thing. As the son of a martial artist, he didn't go to study books such as the Six Strategies of the Martial Arts. But I have to study a decadent book like The Tale of Genji. Matsugami Yoshimitsu was very reluctant. However, his father was so fond of public culture that he preferred his younger brother Kojiro, who was proficient in public culture, and hated himself for being brave and resolute. As a son of man, it is really a sad thing to meet his father, but in the Warring States period, there was nothing to be done. "It's boring." Shinjin Guangguo thought so.

"Who?" The sudden appearance of two people in the tent startled Shinjin Guangguo. These two are Ryoki Kazuhei and Kanai Kishira.

"Guangguo Palace, I came to see you on the orders of my lord Matsugami Yoshimitsu."

This is to betray his lord, what a shame for the samurai. Xinjin Guangguo thought of it, and he said lightly, "This family crusades against no way, if the Yiguang Palace is willing to surrender." The family can give him the ability to block. ”

"How can the Guangguo Palace insult my lord. Although his fame is not obvious, my lord is also a loyal and righteous person. This time I came to surrender, my lord is to help Guangguo, and I don't want Guangguo Hall to make wedding clothes for others. Ryoki Kazuhei said loudly.

"Oh, what does that mean?" Shinjin Mitsukoku seems to be interested.

Yoshiki Nagahei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and continued. "Guangguo Palace's help to the Shenmu family to attack this family is really harmful to others and not to themselves."

"Bold, my family and the Shenmu family have been married, how dare we separate the relationship between our two families. Moreover, the main family will share the Matsugami family with the Shenmu family. Shinjin Guangguo seemed a little angry.

"It is true that the Xinjin family and the Shenmu family have been married. But the object of their marriage is the half-sister of your half-brother Kojiro, so there is a difference in intimacy. The family heard that Hikari Yougong wanted to give the newly acquired land to his younger brother Kojiro. Guang Yougong has always favored the second son, and I am afraid that the Guangguo Palace will not only lose the position of the young master, but also worry about his life. Yoshiki Kazuhei continued unmoved.

"So what, the main hall can't disobey the order of the hall master." Shinjin Guangguo was a little depressed.

"Don't worry about the Guangguo Palace, only if you delay it tonight, there will be changes tomorrow." Ryoki Yihei said while the iron was hot.

"This main hall can be agreed, but you have to stay in the camp." Shinjin Guangguo is still not very convinced.

"I dare not obey my orders, but the lord next to me has other orders. Can you let him go? ”

"It's nature." Shinjin Guangguo said with a smile. So, Kanai Yoshira rushed to Ryoki Village again.

At the same time, the Matsugami army had already rushed to the village not far from Ryoki under the leadership of Matsugami Yoshiyuki. Just as Matsugami Yoshiyuki was about to send someone to set it on fire, suddenly a fire broke out in the village of Raki.

"Why is that?" Matsugami muttered.

"My lord, this must be the blessing of the great god Hachiman. Attack quickly. Matsugami Yoshimitsu on the side said pretending not to know.

Matsugami Yoshiyuki didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately ordered an attack in order to seize the fighter. All of a sudden, the Matsugami army slaughtered Liangmu Village like a vicious tiger pounced. At this time, the Shenmu Army was immersed in sleep. By the time they reacted, the tide was gone. All of a sudden, both the peasants and the samurai scattered like headless flies. One by one, they were harvested by the Matsugami army. At this time, Shenmu Changping was also awakened from a dream by the surname.

"Your Highness, something is wrong. The Matsugami army raided my house overnight and suffered heavy casualties, so the lord should flee quickly. ”

"What?" Shenmu Changping didn't bother to get dressed, picked up the sword and walked outside the house, as if he didn't believe it. At this time, the fire in Liangmu Village broke out, and the Shenmu army was defeated and retreated, and Shenmu Changping couldn't help but tremble when he saw this.

"Let's go." Seeing that the general trend had gone, Shenmu Nagahei had to take a few samurai and quickly retreat.
