Summer goes to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, Matsugami Yoshimitsu has been in Liangmu Village for more than half a year. Since becoming Lord of Ryogi, Yoshimitsu Matsugami has taken a series of measures to engage in farming. Recruit displaced people, open new fields, and train strong soldiers. And now it's harvest season.

At this time, Matsugami Yoshimitsu was taking his retainers Ryoki Ichihei and Ryoki Nagamasa and the new retainer Shimura Yoshira (this prince was recommended by the elder of the family, and it is said that he was the heir of Yamato's heart shadow, and was recently taken by Matsugami Yoshimitsu as a retainer. Working in the fields, these days are the autumn harvest season, and no one can be idle.

"My lord, let's try the radish planted by the villain." An old man eagerly held a radish and was about to hand it to Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

Seeing this, Yoshihei Ryoki was about to reprimand the civilian, but was stopped by Matsugami Yoshimitsu with his eyes. The old man handed him a turnip, but it was not just a turnip, it also represented the gratitude of the people to him. Matsugami Yoshimitsu certainly wouldn't refuse. I saw him wipe the radish with his sleeve, and then took a big bite. "It's delicious." Matsugami Yoshimitsu praised. Although the civilians around him didn't say anything, Matsugami Yoshimitsu could feel that people's hearts were more cohesive. Seeing that everyone was working hard, he said, "Everyone work hard, the autumn harvest will be over soon." Tonight, the family reported the bonfire party, and the temple enjoyed with the people. ‘’

"Hey, hey, hey." Everyone's enthusiasm was aroused. .........

About twenty miles outside Liangmu Village, a group of troops was slowly moving in the direction of Liangmu Village.

"Brother, this time the alliance between you and me will definitely be able to destroy the Matsugami family in one fell swoop. When the time comes, the little brother will get drunk with you again. A handsome young samurai at the front of the ranks said to another, older samurai. It turned out that the second son of the Shinzu family, Shintsu Yuma, and the young master of the Shinzu family, Shintsutaro Mitsukuni. According to the covenant, after the two families completed the autumn harvest, Shenmu Nagahei led the two armies with a total of 400 people to kill the Matsugami family together.

Since Shintsu Mitsu was the first samurai to lead his family, he was also a little happy at this time. "Hahaha, then I'll wait for you." However, the Matsukami family is not an ordinary wealthy family. Will anything change this time? "Maybe it's because of the first time to command the army, and Xinjin Guangguo has some gains and losses.

"Guangguo Hall is too worried. If it's just my Shenmu family, I'm still a little worried. But this time, the two coalition forces of you and me, with several times the strength of the Matsugami family, will definitely succeed in one fell swoop. Think of it as a hunt. Hahaha. Probably hearing Shinjin Mitsu Mitsu talking to himself, Shenmu Nagahei said with a smile. The surrounding retainers also laughed when they heard the words of the head of the family, and even the ashigaru was a little loose. May the great god Hachiman bless me. Shinjin Guangguo didn't say much, but thought of it in his heart. In this way, the two allied forces of Xinjin and Shenmu slowly and gracefully rushed towards the Matsugami family. Since ancient times, samurai have carried a knotty sword when they go out to battle [samurai used it to commit suicide so as not to be captured by the enemy. The name of the family was insulted. ] to show the meaning of forgetting death. The two coalition forces are going out like this, I'm afraid they won't be able to get the blessing of the god of Hachiman, right?

At the same time, Liangmu Village. Matsugami Yoshimitsu is holding a bonfire party to celebrate the harvest, singing and dancing, and the lights are brilliant, a lively scene.

"Your Highness, it's not a good thing. The two allied forces of Shinjin and Shenmu are killing this village. In the midst of the joy, a surgent samurai burst in. This samurai was none other retainer Mitsumi Kanai recruited by Matsugami Yoshimitsu. Because he was good at finding out information, he was sent by Matsugami Yoshimitsu to spy on the military. The surroundings suddenly became quiet because of the news of Kanai Miki.

"What, who is leading the troops?" Matsugami Yoshimitsu immediately calmed down and asked without avoiding it.

"My lord. The general who led the troops of the Shinzu family was the young lord of the Shinzu family, Shinjin Guangguo. The general of the Shenmu family is the head of the family, Shenmu Nagahei. In addition, he is also the general of the coalition forces.

"In this way, Matsugami Yoshimitsu thought about it, and he didn't care about the flustered lords and pulled Ryoki Ichihei and Shimura Kira aside. After a while, he returned to appease the people.

"Don't panic, Miki, you take the people and run into the mountains. Nagamasa, you took Ashigaru and the main hall to Matsugami Castle. ”

"Lord, do you want to burn the grain and grass?" Yoshiki Kazuhei asked.

"No, I'll leave it to them."

"Yes, my lord." After receiving the order, the retainers went their own way, and no one noticed that there were two people missing.

When the Shin and Divine Alliance forces arrived at the village of Ryoki, it was empty. Expecting that there would be no gain, the Ashigaru soon discovered the abandoned grain and grass in Ryoki Village, and they were overjoyed and began to rush it. You must know that there is no money for the Ashigaru expedition, and the head of the family only gives the right to plunder. "Bastard, it's mine." "This time, our Xinjin family is to help the Shenmu family, and the loot should be given to us." "Without you, our Shenmu family can do it. It's mine. ”....... Soon the quarrel turned into a fist and foot fight, and the two peasant soldiers began to fight. Wait until Shinjin Guangguo and Shenmu Nagaping realize that something is wrong. The two peasant soldiers have been inseparable from each other. So they had to divide up and repair in order to wait for the next day.

That night, Matsugami Castle was assessed.

When Matsugami Yoshimitsu arrived at Matsugami Castle, it seemed that he had received news of the attack of the new God Alliance, and the quarrel was raging at this time.

"My lord, the Shenmu family is here prepared this time. Their strength is several times that of my family, so in order to preserve the name of the family, it is better to surrender to the Shenmu family. A retainer admonished Matsugami. This retainer was the Matsukami family's Pudai retainer Ohno Heinobu, and his words were very prestigious. All of a sudden, the retainers all exhorted Matsugami Yoshiyuki to submit to the Shenmu family, and Matsugami Yoshiyuki seemed to be a little tempted. He sighed and said, "That is it, then. ”

"My lord, no." Matsugami Yoshiyuki's words were interrupted by a long chain letter before he could finish his words. I saw him continue to say, "This time, the two gods have joined forces to divide up my family. They will never let us keep our family name, because whoever our family surrenders to will own the righteousness of the Matsukami region. If the retainers surrender and can be preserved, the lord will not surrender or can save his life and will die. We're going to have to defend Matsugami Castle. ”

"How's that for good? Matsugami Yoshiyuki was taken aback and fell into a dilemma, and all the retainers were also panicked.

"My lord, I have a way to save the Matsugami family." Matsugami Yoshimitsu said loudly when he saw this.

"Yoshimitsu, do you have any way to say it quickly. If the family is not broken off this time, the main hall will definitely repay you for your merits. Matsugami asked Matsugami as if he were grasping a life-saving straw.

"My lord, there is a huge disparity between my family's strength and the enemy. Matsugami Castle is not a fortified castle, and if you blindly defend it, it will be a matter of time before Matsugami Castle is breached. The only way to do this is to go out of the city to have a chance of survival. Matsugami Yoshimitsu replied. In the Warring States period, there was never a precedent for defenders to go out of the city to meet them. This kind of thing happened after the Barrel Gorge. Therefore, the retainers felt a little desolate.

"Yiguangdian is scared out of his head."

"I think he's been bought." For a while, everyone was talking. Matsugami Yoshiyuki was also a little hesitant, but he asked again when he saw that Matsugami Yoshimitsu was calm and calm.

"There are still unfinished words in the Yiguang Temple, right?"

"The lord is wise, although there is a huge disparity in strength in this battle. But my family has a chance of three wins. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said confidently. What the? Three wins, and everyone was stunned for a while.
