Although the people of Shimokukoku did not resist Tsukahara Molong, because almost all the samurai of the Chiba family were slaughtered by Tsukahara Molong before, some wealthy clans chose to submit to Tsukahara Molong because they were afraid of Tsukahara Molong's power, but it was a grind to send them out. Except for a small number of wealthy families such as the Akita family, who had a good relationship with Tsukahara Molong for a long time, they came early with their troops, and Tsukahara Molong waited for ten days under the castle of Xiaogong Castle before he could gather an army of 7,000 people.

The entire total stone height is nearly 400,000 stones, even if it is mobilized according to 40 stones for one person, Tsukahara Molong should be able to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, but the various wealthy families just don't buy Tsukahara Molong's account. Obey your rule, right? Yes, we don't object to you, after all, you are the son of the old leader. Do you want me to send troops? Oh, I'm really embarrassed, our family doesn't have much food in stock, these years of fighting in the north and south, weapons and armor are also very badly damaged, you see it's almost summer, it's raining heavily every day, the quilt is easy to get damp and mildew, you have to hurry up and replenish it......

Seeing the attitudes of the various wealthy clans, the disciples of the dojo who originally felt that they had won the next country and could enjoy the second half of their lives realized that the problem was far from over. Just when the wealthy clan of the lower head country was slowly playing Tai Chi with Tsukahara Molong, Satomi Yoshiyao thought that the Satomi family had reached the most dangerous moment, so he almost took out the coffin book and issued a general mobilization order to his subordinates, the number of people is second, but your family must come, otherwise it will be a collaborator! All the surrounding nobles can attack him, and the captured territory belongs to them. Under the high-pressure policy of the Satomi family, Satomi Yoshiyao quickly gathered a force of 15,000 men and began to march towards Xiaogong Castle. In fact, if Satomi Yoshiyao is really anxious, there can be more troops that can be mobilized, but Satomi Yoshiyao still feels that it is better to have spare strength to deal with the Hojo family, after all, Tsukahara Moryū's army is right under his nose, and he naturally knows that he can't command the wealthy clan of the country, in this case, Tsukahara Moryū is even more solid in the eyes of Satomi Yoshiyao, and the image of a reckless man who can only fight, this kind of person can just jump for a while, and it can't be a big thing at all. Look at Tsukahara Molong now, he can't even recruit soldiers, and he still fights for the world?

Although the speed of news circulation in ancient times was not fast, the news of Tsukahara Moryū's seizure of a country overnight still spread throughout Japan again, and this fierce general who became famous in the battle under Ninja Castle once again became the talk of the people. The Kanto heroes also learned of Tsukahara Molong's embarrassment, and their minds became active. Hojo Shiyasu did the best, and he forced himself to start preparing for the war under the pressure of the Imagawa family and the Takeda family. In order to solve the problem of lack of grain and grass, Hojo changed the "four public and six people's system" from his grandfather's Hojo Sakumo period to the "six public and four people's system", and collected the grain and grass needed for the expedition from the wealthy people. However, because the Hojo family has always won the hearts of the people, after knowing the current predicament of the Hojo family and the promise that the Hojo clan would change back to the original tax collection method after defeating Tsukahara Moryu, the people of Sagami Izu chose to endure silently and support the Hojo family's preparation for war. The Oda family and the Yuki family breathed a sigh of relief, originally thinking that there was a terrible enemy around them, but now they see that it is just a straw bale, and they are not even able to manage the territory well, so they hurriedly go to attack the outside world, what is it that is not a fool?

Seeing that the army of the Satomi family was gradually approaching, Tsukahara Molong didn't look anxious, and from time to time he had a few drinks with Zhou Dashuai, and he couldn't even look past Pingji, so he came to persuade him, but was sent back by Tsukahara Molong in the name of "I arrange it freely".

Just when the morale of the army was fluctuating, Kato Duzo and Hattori Minister Yasu came to Tsukahara Molong, and after talking with the two, Tsukahara Molong put on his armor unhurriedly and ordered the whole army to assemble and brave the rain to march to the predetermined battlefield.

Although they didn't know what medicine was sold in Tsukahara Moryo's gourd, the dojo disciples could only choose to believe in Tsukahara Molong. After arriving at the battlefield, I found that it was just a small river about five meters wide, and different river basins were called differently, but this section was called the Black Dragon River. The terrain on both sides of the river is quite high, and it is rugged and difficult to navigate, and the depth of the water is unfathomable, so it is not an easy place to cross. Tsukahara is the only area where the Molong formation is located, the west bank is gourd-shaped, and the east bank is relatively wide, and the water depth is only about 70 centimeters due to the raised boulders under this section of the riverbed, which is suitable for crossing the river.

According to Tsukahara Shige's information, the army of the Satomi family is rushing towards this area in the rain, hoping to cross the river under the cover of heavy rain, and will arrive soon. Tsukahara Molong then issued the arrangement of the battle, the army was about 100 meters away from the river, and put on a posture to attack halfway, Tsukahara Nagakei and Akita Ieji each commanded 2,000 troops to protect the two wings of the main formation, and the middle lane was commanded by Heiji, and Tsukahara Molong was commanded from a high place.

Soon, the 15,000 army commanded by Satomi Yoshiyao arrived on the east bank and was about to cross the river, but the sharp-eyed Mufu suddenly found that a large number of troops on the opposite bank had been arrayed, and hurriedly returned.

Satomi Yoshiyao was also quite surprised when he learned about this, thinking that this Tsukahara Molong could actually know the route of my army, it seems that there are really ghosts in the family, and subconsciously glanced at Masaki Shigeru and Toki Weilai, and did not speak. Masaki Shigeru was also taken aback, thinking about it, it seems that Tsukahara Molong not only contacted my family, but actually figured out the route of the army! Tuqi stood up: "Lord, now that Tsukahara Molong is prepared, he is still arranging a formation on the other side, and it is clear that he wants to attack halfway!" We might as well divide our troops one way, the main force confronts Tsukahara Molong, and the other elite crosses the river from elsewhere, goes around behind them, and attacks back and forth! ”

Division? Satomi Yoshiyao looked at Toki and thought to himself, I thought you were very loyal, but I didn't expect a bad stomach, after the division of troops, what if I attacked me back and forth with Tsukahara Molong? Or if the news leaks and the soldiers and horses I have separated are ambushed? In the case of an advantage in troops, it is naturally the safest to push over. Well, this vanguard......

"What Lord Toki said is reasonable, but at the moment, the two armies are facing each other, and if the troops are divided again, I am afraid that it will shake the morale of the army, and it has been raining heavily for several days, but the current water is not too urgent, so God helps me, so I decided to attack Tsukahara Molong directly, so I asked Lord Toki to lead the army to cross the river first."

Toki was stunned when he heard this, and he never thought that instead of adopting his own suggestion, Satomi Yoshiyao would send him to lead the army to cross the river first, and he was suddenly a little angry in his heart, but as a retainer of the Satomi family, he still chose to obey. But his son Toki Yoriharu showed resentment after learning the news, as a person in the prime of life, Toki Yoriharu naturally has his own ambitions, Tsukahara Moryu's words made him quite moved, but he only dared to think about it, but now Satomi Yoshiyao's behavior has greatly increased his rebellion, and in game terms, his loyalty to the Satomi family has greatly decreased.

The 1,500 troops of the Toki family began to cross the river under the leadership of Toki Weilai, and the ashigaru people were struggling to trek through the river while nervously watching the army of Tsukahara Molong on the opposite side. Sure enough, seeing that the army of the Satomi family began to cross the river, the army under the command of Tsukahara Molong began to rush towards the river. In the face of the surging enemy army, the battle-hardened Toki Weilai held his saber tightly.
