Tsuno Village, Kaihayama.

After the ashigaru of the Katayama family entered Tsuno Village, they began to burn and loot, competing with each other for goods and women. Tsuno Village was soon in shambles, with corpses in ruins. However, because the ashigaru of the Katayama family was temporarily held back by their belongings, the villagers of Tsuno Village were given time to flee for their lives, and they soon fled to the Yashiki of Tsuno Kahei on the east side of Tsuno Village, which is located at the highest point on the east side of Tsuno Village.

By the time the ashigaru of the Katayama family realized that something was wrong, most of the people living in Tsuno Village had already run to the land of hope on the mountain. And the ashigaru people of the Katayama family have already robbed a lot of property, and at this time their desire to fight to the death has been exhausted, and they just want to go home alive and take their belongings. Therefore, the Katayama family Ashigaru looked at the heavily defended Yashiki on the mountain, and did not dare to attack rashly, so they could only form an encirclement posture and surround Tsuno Yoshihiro from afar, and then sent someone to inform the chief Kondo Yoshitsuna who was waiting for his order. ......

Kaheirashiki Tsuno.

Before the ashigaru of the Katayama family attacked Tsuno Village, Yoshihei Tsuno was setting a banquet in his house to make amends to Matsugami Yoshimitsu and see him off. Saigo Takahisa, who was locked up in another place, was also released at this time, and stayed with Matsugami Yoshimitsu around.

"Yiguang Palace, you and I don't know each other. Although I, Tsuno, cannot accept your solicitation, in the future, if you can use my Tsuno, please ask. As long as I, Kahei Tsuno, do my best, a definition is indispensable. Here, I'll give you a drink. In Yashiki, Kahei Tsuno promised him while toasting Matsugami Yoshimitsu.

This Tsuno Yoshihei is quite knowledgeable, and he has already concluded that he is not an ordinary person when he sees that Matsugami Yoshimitsu is extraordinary and dares to come to Benba Mountain alone. If he had to lead the Tsuno people to dare not take risks, Tsuno Kahei would have wanted to accept Matsugami Yoshimitsu's solicitation a long time ago. But for now, he can only hope to maintain peace with Matsugami Yoshimitsu for the future, and if Matsugami Yoshimitsu is full of wings in the future, he can also use this friendship to join Matsugami Yoshimitsu's camp. But surrender at that time will naturally be different from the situation of joining now. Thinking of this, Tsuno Kahei couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Tsuno people are his help and his resistance.

Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw Tsuno Yoshihei's intention to tie the knot, and he didn't lose his temperament because Tsuno refused his solicitation, and said with a smile. "In this case, thank you very much to Jiaping Palace. Hahaha. "One of them is intentionally befriended, and the other is unintentionally blamed. For a while, in Tsuno Kahei's house, the guests and hosts were happy. However, bad news also came at this time.

When Tsuno Kahei was feasting Matsugami Yoshimitsu, there was a sudden shout of killing in his ears. Kahei Tsuno immediately arrived and walked out of Yashiki to investigate the reason, and Matsugami Yoshimitsu also took Saigo Takahisa to follow closely. Matsugami Yoshimitsu and the others who walked out of the house were shocked, and the originally peaceful and beautiful Tsuno Village had become a hellish scene at this time. The only thing that can be thankful is that most of the villagers have retreated to the Yashiki of Tsuno Kahei. Angry at the current situation in Tsuno Village, Tsuno Kahei grabbed Kojiro Haneda, who had also fled to his house, and asked. "Kojiro, what the hell is going on?"

That Kojiro also looked sad and indignant at this time, and he saw Tsuno Kahei asking him and hurriedly said. "Jiaping Palace, it's the Katayama family, and it's all the Katayama family. Katayama family Ashigaru suddenly killed people in Tsuno Village, and robbed things when they saw them. ”

"Katayama family, I, Tsuno Kahei, swear to the great god of Hachiman that I will destroy the Katayama family in this life." Tsuno Kahei shouted angrily when he learned what was going on.

"The Katayama family will be destroyed in this life," the living people of Tsuno Village also shouted. Matsugami Yoshimitsu saw that Tsuno Yoshihei was so angry that he was afraid that he would lose his mind, and hurriedly persuaded.

"Jiaping Palace, now the first priority should be to repel the Katayama army. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the people of Tsuno to be saved. ”

Tsuno Kahei calmed down immediately after being reminded by Matsugami Yoshimitsu, and now is not the time for him to lose his judgment. He first gave Matsugami a salute to express his gratitude. "Thank you for the reminder, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Jiaping Hall is polite, this matter is also related to the safety of the subordinates." Matsugami Yoshimitsu said sincerely that if Tsuno Kahei's Yashiki was lost, his fate would not be much better. Tsuno Kahei didn't say much, and after thanking Matsugami Yoshimitsu, he turned around and arranged a mission to defend the enemy against the main leaders of the Tsuno people. "Haneda Kojiro, the main hall has ordered you to organize the Tsuno warriors to defend the surroundings."

"Haha, Kojiro Haneda takes the order."

"Taro Hano, you are responsible for arranging for the old women and children to take out the falling rocks and rolling logs we prepared, and once the Katayama army attacks, they will be thrown down and stoned to death."

"Haha, Taro Hano takes the order." ......

After Kahei Tsuno finished issuing the task, he looked around and never saw the figure of Hirayyoshi Tsuno, and he asked the villagers. "Have any of you seen Pinyoshi go there?"

"I didn't see it."

"I haven't seen him today, and I haven't seen him when I retreated." ......

Seeing that his younger brother was gone, and Katayama's army was so strange today, he secretly said that it was not good in his heart, and there was a faint speculation that he couldn't believe came to his heart. In order not to affect morale, Yoshihei Tsuno had to change the topic, and he turned around and said to Matsugami Yoshimitsu. "Yoshikoden, the Katayama army is menacing, you can take shelter in the house for a while. I will take care of you. ”

At this time, the Tsuno people had already moved under the orders of Tsuno Yoshihei, and even some old people and children were contributing to the repulsion of the Katayama army. Kahei Tsuno actually let himself hide in the rear? Matsugami Yoshimitsu immediately felt insulted and said angrily. "Is Jiaping Hall humiliating my Yoshimitsu? He was also an upright samurai, and today he must advance and retreat with the people of Tsuno. ”

Tsuno Kahei was moved to hear Matsugami Yoshimitsu's generous words. "It's abrupt like this, so today you and I will work together to defend against the Katayama family."

"Okay, let's fight the enemy together. Ha ha. Matsugami Yoshimitsu said with a smile.

"Defend against the enemy together, defend against the enemy together." The people around them were affected and also spoke loudly. All of a sudden, the fighting spirit of the entire Tsuno people was stimulated, and their timidity was swept away and their morale was greatly boosted. ......

The army formation of the Katayama army of Benha Mountain.

"Hahaha, the Tsuno people are basically a bunch of local chickens and dogs. Vulnerable in front of the warriors of my Katayama family, it seems that the main hall will be able to return to Ashiki Castle today. Kondo Yoshitsuna, who was in the military formation, saw the ashigaru of the Katayama family, and quickly entered Tsuno Village, and said with a smile to Tsuno Hirayoshi next to him.

Tsuno Hirayoshi also felt a trace of remorse in his heart when he saw that the village he was familiar with in the past was destroyed, but he still said with a smile. "The villain only knows the might of the Katayama Army today."

"Pingji, you really know the current affairs. Hahaha. Kondo Yoshitsuna became more and more happy.

"Report to Kondo-sama, all the people of Tsuno have withdrawn into a roof to the east, and it is very difficult to attack, so the villain has come to ask for instructions on what to do next?" At this time, a messenger interrupted Kondo Yoshitsuna's joy.
