Chapter 10: The Battle Begins

Iwatani Castle on the way to Tsugawa Castle. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yamada Yoshiyasu looked at the military momentum of hundreds of people behind him, swept away his previous decadent face, and became complacent.

"Haha, I got reinforcements from my father-in-law, and this time I sent troops to the Tsugawa family, and the strength of my family is twice that of the Tsugawa family, so it's no problem to capture Motoyama Castle and Kakuyama Castle," Yamada Yoshiyasu said with a look of envy and flattery to the general of the Ryohei family and a public Ryohei Yoshimitsu who was riding a white horse beside him.

Ryohei Yoshimitsu listened to Yamada Yoshiyasu's words, and said with a smile: "Of course, the strength of this family is not something that the Tsugawa family can resist" After speaking, he turned his head away and was no longer willing to speak. In fact, Ryohei Yoshimitsu looks down on the Yamada family very much, but he is just a small hero who has suddenly risen, how can he compare to the heritage accumulated by the family for several generations. The dignified family governor doesn't even have a horse, if it weren't for the plan formulated by his brother Yoshinori Ryohei, it would be rare for the family to help the Yamada family clean up the mess. As if thinking of something happy, a smile appeared in the corner of Ryohei Yoshimitsu's eyes. "Hmph, bunch of fools, I hope you'll be able to laugh when the time comes, haha."

Seeing that Yoshimitsu Yamada didn't want to talk to him anymore, Yamada Yoshiyasu turned his head awkwardly and scolded his subordinates: "Didn't you eat one by one? Don't hurry up yet. The Yoshikawa Hiroshi family who was watching shook their heads again and again, alas, how could the old lord give birth to such a straw bale son. Of course, these words can only be thought about by Yoshikawa Hiroya in his heart.

Two hours later, the combined forces of the Yamada family and the Ryohei family were finally able to see the outline of Tsugawa Castle from a distance. In a short time, the combined forces reached a short distance from Tsugawa Castle.

A huge sense of crisis instantly enveloped the ashigaru head of Tsugawa Castle, which was already in a tense situation. Soji Tsugawa stood on the castle tower, his hands on the wooden railing, and he held the sword tightly in his hand. Kuroda Iekane and Yoshiki Komura are also facing great enemies, after all, at such a moment, they can't relax at all. Looking at the forces of the combined forces that were getting closer and closer, everyone in Tsugawa Castle held their breath and prepared for a bloody battle.

The forces of the combined army were divided into two parts, the left and right, and on the left was the team of the Yamada family, all of which consisted of ashigaru. On the right is the Ryohei family. The Ryohei family's army consisted of several squads, each led by a samurai armed with a sword, directing his ashigaru to advance slowly, but the momentum of slow oppression had to make people extremely nervous.

"The Liangping family is worthy of being a powerful and powerful man who has stood in Nanxian North County for hundreds of years, and such a military situation is indeed terrifying." Kuroda Iekane said to Soji beside him. For Zongzhi, who has only been in contact with the battle for a long time, he is still a little nervous in his heart, don't look at him as an otaku when he faces tens of thousands of people when he plays the game, but when he really comes into contact with the cruel reality of the battle, he will understand that war is not the data on the game. It's a real fight, with swords and guns, blood, and the dead.

Soji let out a breath and said: "Although the army of the Ryohei family is elite, but the family refuses to defend the city, to a certain extent, occupy this advantage, don't be discouraged, the victory will definitely belong to the Tsugawa family." Komura Yoshikei nodded heavily, and shouted at the ashigaru behind him, "Victory belongs to the Tsugawa family!" The Tsugawa family has been lucky for a long time! "Hey, hey, hey, hey" Ashigaru also showed a strong momentum. Soji nodded, his morale commendable. I haven't trained them for so long.

In the camp of the combined army outside the city, Yoshikawa Hiroshi looked at the morale of the Tsugawa army in Jinchuan City with a solemn expression, and an inexplicable emotion surrounded his heart. The Tsugawa family should not be underestimated, this will be a fierce battle.

However, Ryohei Yoshimitsu looked at Tsugawa Castle with disdain, as if Tsugawa Castle was in his pocket. Looking at the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family with a solemn expression, Ryohei Yoshimitsu said mockingly: "What, are the Yamada family all cowardly? The Jinchuan family, the little Haoqiang who can be destroyed with a backhand, what is there to worry about? ”

When Yoshikawa Hiroya heard this, he felt uncomfortable, but he thought that the Ryohei family would have to rely on the other party in this battle as reinforcements, so he had to swallow his anger and had to say: "Don't blame Ryohei-sama, I just watched the morale of the Tsugawa family and was worried that there might be a fierce battle next, so I was a little worried." Before Yoshimitsu Ryohira could answer, Yoshiyasu Yamada on the side couldn't help it: "Enough, the Ryohei family is so elite, what is there to fear about the Tsugawa family, when the time comes, the small Tsugawa City is not a battle." Besides, with Ryohei-sama here, what else is there to worry about, right, Ryohei-sama. Yoshiyasu Yamada said as he looked at Yoshimitsu Ryohira with a flattering face. Yoshimitsu Ryohira showed a teachable look, while Yoshikawa Hiroya became more and more disappointed in Yoshiyasu Yamada.

At this time, Yoshimitsu Ryohira said to Yoshiyasu Yamada: "In that case, let's start attacking now." Naturally, Yamada Yoshiyasu agreed, and in addition to currying favor with Yoshimitsu Ryohira, he himself was also eager to recapture Tsugawa Castle. For his father Shinna's side room Juhime some time ago, Yamada Yoshiyasu has long looked at it, but he has a thief's heart but no thief's guts. But now Yoshinobu Yamada is dead, and he is the new head of the family. If I capture Tsugawa Castle, then the beauty will be mine. Ha ha.

Yoshiyasu Yamada had a lewd smile on his face, and he was about to agree. Yoshikawa Hiroya saw it and hurriedly said to Yamada Yoshiyasu: "Lord, our army has been marching all morning and is already tired. At this time, it was already noon, and the ashigaru people had not eaten a drop of water, and their stomachs must be hungry and thirsty. It's better to rest for a while, and it's not too late to attack after lunch."

Yoshiyasu Yamada also hesitated at this time, to be honest, he was also a little hungry. Thinking about it, Yoshiyasu Yamada looked at Yoshimitsu Ryohira with inquiring eyes. Ryohei Yoshimitsu has long wanted to get angry, Made, a small Tsugawa Castle, what are you doing cowering, isn't it good to take the city and have a full meal? He immediately said: "It's a waste of time, just Tsukawa City, you can take it with a wave of offensives, wouldn't it be good to take the city and have lunch when the time comes?" ”

When Yamada Yoshiyasu saw Ryohei Yoshimitsu say this, he turned his head and said to Yoshikawa Hiroya: "Yoshikawa-sama, just do what Ryohei-sama says, and immediately organize an attack of troops." "Yoshikawa Hiroya wanted to say something more, but when he saw Yamada Yoshiyasu's unhappy look, he could only give up." Alas, sooner or later, the Yamada family will be finished. In desperation, the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family could only come to the Yamada family's ashigaru team and said, "The lord has an order." Attack now. ”

"What?" "Attack now?" "How can this be, we are still hungry?" In an instant, the Yamada family's ashigaru team was like ants in a fryer, and there was a lot of discussion. "Okay, it's quiet" Yoshikawa Hiroshi looked at the agitation of the ashigaru, but he was helpless, "It's not too late to capture the city and eat" Yoshikawa Hiroka's place, Yoshikawa's in-laws, just after Yuanfu, also followed Yoshikawa Hiro's family this time. And Yoshikawa Hiroshi also thought that this battle would go well, so he brought his younger brother's in-laws and wanted him to complete the first battle in his life.

Yoshikawa's in-laws said to their brother Hiroka: "Brother, how can you attack when you are hungry?" Don't you let us eat a full meal first" The Guang family said helplessly to Yoshikawa's in-laws: "No way, the lord has an order, and we can only obey it." "But, I...."Yoshikawa's in-laws wanted to say something, but at this time, Yamada Yoshiyasu's voice came, "Yoshikawa Hiroka, what are you waiting for, attack quickly"

When Yoshikawa Hiroya heard this, he thought angrily: "Fool, the Ryohei family obviously wants to deliberately let the family take the lead as cannon fodder, and even if the city is captured at that time, the family will suffer heavy losses." Suddenly, the Yoshikawa Hiroke thought of a terrible thought, "If the Ryohei family suddenly attacks the main family while the family is seriously damaged, then the main family will have no power to fight back." And the Tsugawa family was also defeated by us first, so that no one in the entire Rokugo and Iwatani clan would be able to resist the army of the Ryohei family. The Lianghei family could easily get the land of the two townships. Yoshikawa Hiroya looked back at Yoshimitsu Ryohira who was riding on a horse and closed his eyes to recuperate, and gritted his teeth, "I hope I think too much."

Immediately, Yoshikawa Hiroke yelled at the ashigaru: "Attack!! With the order of the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family, although the ashigaru of the Yamada family was reluctant, they could only slowly rush towards Tsugawa Castle.

On Tsugawa Castle, Tsugawa Soji looked at the rushing Yamada ieshigaru, drew his sword, and said: "The enemy has attacked, and you will kill the enemy with me."

A big war is about to begin.
