Chapter 32: The Battle of Shinjinkan (End)

Katayama Army Military Tent.

Since the annihilation of most of the forces of the Shinjin family in one fell swoop in Komixia. The Katayama family set up the general formation on the south side of the Shintsu Pavilion and the Umedo family formed the north of the Shinjin Pavilion, and the Katayama and Umedo families prepared to attack from both sides and jointly besiege the Shintsu Pavilion. At this time, Nobuho Katayama, the head of the Katayama family, and Takahiro Umeto, the head of the Umeto family, were discussing how to capture the Shintsukan in the military tent of the Katayama family.

"Katayama-sama, I don't know how the Katayama family is going to attack the Shintsukan tomorrow. My Umedo family will fully cooperate with the Katayama family's strategy. The head of the Umedo family, Ume To, asked in a low voice. Originally, in his opinion, if he wanted to capture the Shinjin Pavilion Katayama family, he would definitely pay a lot of price, so that this time he could not only get a lot of benefits from the Umeto family, but also the Katayama family would not be able to pose a threat to the Umedo family in a short period of time. This is the fundamental reason why he is willing to form an alliance with the Katayama family. Clinker Komixia defeated the Shintsu family in the first battle, but the Katayama family suffered almost no loss, and it was too late for Meito Takahiro to regret it. He could only hope that the Katayama family would abide by the covenant, otherwise the Umeto family would be in danger.

Nobuho Katayama had been in the process for a long time, and after noticing the change in Umeto Takahiro's attitude, he secretly laughed at him and continued. "Umedo-sama is polite, you and I are allies and have no priority. But since Umedo-sama said so, then the main hall is not welcome. Nobuho Katayama continued, pointing to the map. Tomorrow morning, the main family will attack the Shintsukan from the south, and the Umedo family will attack the Shintsukan from the north. I wonder what Umedo-sama thinks? ”

Umedo Takahiro suddenly felt a sudden in his heart, the danger on the north side of this Shinjin Pavilion is several times that of the south side, and Katayama Shinho is trying to wear down the strength of my Umedo family. Thinking of this, Umeto Takahiro couldn't help but be angry, but as soon as he considered the current situation, he forcibly suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and said. "All the main family is subject to the arrangement of Lord Katayama, and tomorrow my Umedo family will attack the north of the Shinjin Pavilion. But ......," Umeto Takahiro said after a deliberate pause. "I don't know how the Ume and Katayama families will divide the territory of the Shintsu family after taking the Shintsu Pavilion."

"Divide the territory of the Xinjin family?" Nobuho Katayama asked pretending to be confused. "Does the territory of the Xinjin family still need to be divided? Shintsukan and Shimokawa Castle were owned by the main family, and Hirano Castle and Koimajo Castle were controlled by the Umedo family. Isn't that very clear? ”

"Haha." Umeto Takahiro laughed angrily, and he argued. "At the beginning, the two families agreed to divide the territory of the Xinjin family equally. Now that Hirano Castle and Koimajo Castle combined, they are only about two or three thousand stones, is the Katayama family going to break the covenant? "Ume to Takahiro has to fight, otherwise the gap between the strength of the Umedo family and the Katayama family will be even more disparity.

"Break the covenant." Nobuho Katayama sneered. "At the beginning, the two agreed to jointly attack the Xinjin family. However, the credit for the previous defeat of the Shinjin family is attributed to the family. The Umedo family didn't give it at all, but the main hall gave it the land of Hirano Castle and Koimajo Castle because the Umedo family still had a little hard work. Umedo-sama, don't be dissatisfied. Nobuho Katayama's tone became even colder.

Umedo Takahiro suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, the situation is not as good as people. He said with a sigh. "Everything is at the mercy of Katayama-sama's arrangement." "Umedo-sama is a smart man." Nobuho Katayama said proudly with a little sarcasm. However, at this time, he did not notice the secret clenched fists of Umeto Takahiro. ......

Umedo family military tent.

"Lord, I don't know how you talked to Nobuho Katayama." Umedo Takahiro has just returned to the main camp of the Umedo family. The retainer Umeto Takamune and others, who had been waiting for a long time, eagerly asked him about the negotiations. There is no respect for Katayama Shinho in their words, and they have seen a long-standing grudge.

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart after returning to his own territory. Ignoring the inquiries of his retainers, he kicked down the table in the military tent and scolded. "The Katayama family deceives people too much." Ume Takahiro then informed the retainers of his experience at the Katayama family's camp and the humiliation he had suffered. After saying that, Umeto Takahiro said with a sigh. "It seems that the Katayama family is not ready to abide by the covenant with the family, and the family has to find a way out as soon as possible."

Due to the suddenness of the incident, the people of the Meihu family did not have a foolproof plan for a while. Just when they were at a loss, Matsugami Yoshimitsu finally arrived at the camp of the Umedo family. "Report to the lord, Matsugami will ask for a meeting with Matsugami Yoshimitsu." An ashigaru reports to Ume Takahiro.

"Matsugami family. Okay, please let him in. When Umeto Takahiro heard that the Matsugami family was coming, he was overjoyed. It would be great if he could use this to calculate the Katayama family, Umeto Takahiro thought secretly.

"Matsugami Yoshimitsu will meet with the people of Umeto Takatsu." Matsugami Yoshimitsu, who had walked into the military tent of the Ume family, saluted Ume Takahiro.

"What is the matter with the Yiguang Temple?" Umeto asked. "Lord Umedo, I have come here on the orders of my lord of the house. The family hopes to work with the Umedo family to preserve the new Tsu family. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said bluntly.

Ume Takahiro listened to Matsugami Yoshimitsu's words, and he was now worried that there was no way to suppress the Katayama family. But Umeto Takahiro still pretended to be puzzled and said. "Yiguangdian is joking, right? The family is now allied with the Katayama family, so how can the Shintsu House be protected with the Matsugami family. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu understands that this is just Umeto Takahiro wants some benefits, after all, the Katayama family is now a greater threat to the Umedo family. Matsugami Yoshimitsu continued. "The Katayama family has been famous since the victory of the Katayama family, and it is not an ordinary person for the Umeto lord to be able to restore the family business by himself. Umedo-sama don't go around in circles with you. If the Katayama family takes the Shintsukan, I'm afraid the next target will be the Umedo family, who has just rebelled from the Katayama family. ”

Matsugami Yoshimitsu smiled and said. "Of course, the family will not ask the Mei family to help in vain. If the Shinjin family is preserved this time, then the family can be the master for him, and the territory occupied by the Umedo family does not need to be returned. Afterwards, the Shintsu family will definitely present the local edition, I wonder what Umedo-sama thinks? ”

"Hahaha, Yoshikoden is really a Homo sapiens. The Katayama family has no way, and the main hall is willing to join forces with the Matsugami family to protect the new Tsu family. I wonder what the Matsugami family has planned? Umeto Takahiro said with a smile after achieving his goal.

"Umedo-sama, the family has already made a decision at this time. ...... early tomorrow morning"

Then Matsugami Yoshimitsu told Ume Takahiro the plan of how the two families would act, and then he went back to his life. ......

Early the next morning. Matsugami Yoshiyuki led his own army to kill the Katayama family's army. The guard of the Katayama family, Ashigaru, saw the Matsugami family from afar, and immediately reported it to the lord.

"Lord, the Matsugami family is killing the family."

"What?" Nobuho Katayama was taken aback. He hurriedly put on his armor and commanded left and right.

"Quick, get ready for battle."

Katayama Nobuho was a man who was proficient in military law, and although the Matsugami Army was menacing under his command, he could only reach a stalemate with the Katayama Army for a while. After the two armies had been fighting for a while, suddenly another group of troops rushed towards this side. It's none other than the Umedo family. When the Katayama army saw their allies coming, they were overjoyed and thought they had a chance of victory. Unexpectedly, Umedo Takahiro suddenly led an army to kill Katayama's house.

Katayama Nobuho didn't understand anything at the moment, and he immediately shouted. "The Umedo family has betrayed the family, and you will fight with the main hall."

But at this time, the Katayama army had dispersed because of the betrayal of the Ume family, and the Umedo family had taken the opportunity to enter the Katayama family's main formation. Katayama Nobuho led his samurai to fight for a while, and then gradually lost the enemy, so he had to retreat with hatred.

This is the end of the Battle of Shintsukan.
