Although the attack of Yokote Mitsumori and others on Tsugawa Castle was stubbornly blocked by the Tsugawa family, the casualties of Ashigaru in Tsugawa Castle were very huge.

According to the statistics of Komura Yoshikei, in the past few days of continuous fighting, there are less than 800 people in Ashigaru who can still fight in Tsugawa Castle, while the offensive of Yokote Mitsumori and others outside the city has not weakened at all.

The detectives sent to Kawabe County have not returned for a long time, and they don't know anything about the war in Kawabe County, Komura Yoshikyo and others.

Yoshiki Komura got up early in the morning and came to the castle tower to observe the movements of the enemy forces outside the city.

Looking at the enemy troops who were gathering troops, Komura Yoshikatsu had a solemn look on his face.

"Lord Shimizu, the enemy's movements today are very frequent." Komura Yoshiki pointed to the soldiers of the Yokote family outside the city and said slowly.

Qing Shui on the side nodded and said, "Indeed." Compared to the past, the movement of the enemy army today is quite large. ”

"My lord, please see, the Yokote family's main formation seems to have moved forward a lot, and it seems that the enemy's offensive will be more fierce today." Qing Shui Zhiqin also said with a solemn expression.

Yoshikei Komura continued, "No matter what, you must defend Tsugawa Castle!" All the current troops in the clan are already concentrated in the castle, and if Tsugawa Castle is lost, there will be no more troops in the realm that are capable of fighting the enemy, and the situation of the clan will be in danger. ”

"Yokote Mitsumori is quite a set of people to fight, these days of battles have proved that Yokote Mitsumori is a relatively stable person, today's enemy movement is so big, it seems that Yokote Mitsumori wants to capture my Tsugawa City in one fell swoop." Yoshiki Komura said slowly.

Shimizu Naojin thought for a moment, and then replied, "Lord Komura, although the scale of Tsugawa Castle is not large, the terrain is not dangerous. However, when the lord renovated Tsugawa Castle, he strengthened both Ninomaru and Honmaru a lot. Even if the castle tower is lost, we can retreat to Ninomaru and Honmaru. Both Honmaru and Ninomaru have put a large amount of grain, grass and ordnance, and it is not a problem to hold on for a while. ”

Yoshikage Komura agreed, "That's right! Anyway, no matter what, Tsugawa Castle must not give up! Even if you fight to the last man, you must hold back the enemy and wait for the victorious return of the lord! ”

"Humph! A group of clowns who jumped off the beam only dared to attack their own family when the lord was out of skill! If the lord is here, give him ten guts, and he will not dare to rebel against his family! Komura Yoshikyo said angrily.

As he spoke, the enemy forces outside the city seemed to be preparing to begin the siege.

Shimizu Naoqin hurriedly interrupted the indignation of Komura Yoshikage, and said loudly, "Komura-sama, it seems that the enemy army is preparing to attack the city, so leave it to you here." ”

"Okay, I'll go to Simon and have a look, the situation there is not optimistic. Lord Shimizu, although you and I have not known each other for a long time, but for the sake of the Tsugawa family, please! Yoshiki Komura bowed solemnly to Shimizu Naoko.

Shimizu Naojin hurriedly helped Komura Yoshijing, and said loudly, "The lord's eloquence is probably admired by the subordinates, although I, Shimizu Naokin, have just become a retainer of the Tsugawa family, but I am also willing to shed the last drop of blood for my family, Komura Lord, please rest assured." ”

"With the words of Lord Shimizu, I will be relieved in the next! The defense of the south gate is entrusted to Lord Shimizu. After speaking, Yoshikashi Komura turned around and walked in the direction of the west gate.

After Yoshikage Komura left, Shimizu Naojin turned his head and said loudly, "The enemy army is about to attack the city, everyone is ready to meet the enemy!" ”

"Hah!"

...................

The troops of both sides of the west gate and the south gate of Tsugawa Castle are in full swing to prepare, and the east gate is a different scene.

"Strange, the enemy forces at the West Gate and the South Gate are moving quite a lot today, why is it that only the East Gate has not moved yet?" Saigo Kicho knelt on the tower of the East Gate, looking at the Yamada family outside the city with a confused expression.

A Saigo samurai on the side said slowly, "Lord, isn't this a good thing? Wouldn't that be just the right thing for us to fix the ashigaru of Iwamatsu Castle? ”

Saigo Kicho shook his head and said, "The lord often says that there must be a demon when things go wrong. It's strange that the west gate and the south gate are so moving, but the east gate is not moving at all. ”

"Alas, what is this. Of the three gates, the attack at the east gate has always been the weakest. Moreover, there are also Yamaguchi people outside the castle who share part of the Owada family's troops, and it is normal for Owada Mitsumi not to dare to attack. The samurai said disappreciatively.

Although Saigo Kicho did not agree with the samurai's words in his heart, Saigo Kicho could not understand the situation at the East Gate.

"Tadajiro, you stay here and keep an eye on it, and come and tell me as soon as there is a situation." Saigo Kicho said slowly, "I'll go to the back to see how the ashigaru people are repairing, the big war is coming, and there must not be any negligence." ”

"Yes, my lord!" Tadajiro Shiraishi Keizan replied loudly.

After Saigo Kicho left, Shiraishi Jingshan turned his head to look at the strength of the Yamada family outside the city, and shook his head from time to time.

Neither Saigo Kicho nor Shiraishi Jingshan noticed it, and in the corner not far away, a figure was eavesdropping on their conversation.

At this time, Asamichi looked at the back of Saigo Kicho with a smile on his face, and had just overheard the conversation between Saigo Kicho and Shiraishi Jingshan, which made Asami Nagado finally breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Asami Nagado has always been worried that his plan will be detected by Yoshikage Komura and others, but just now it can be seen from the conversation between Saigo Kicho and Shiraishi Jingshan that Saigo Kicho and the others only felt a little strange.

"Humph! While Saigo Kicho is away, it is time to start implementing the plan. Light Dance Changdao thought secretly in his heart.

At this time, Yokote Mitsumori and others finally began to attack Tsugawa Castle.

"Report! The enemy Kuroser Raiyuan has begun to attack the south gate! ”

"Report, the enemy's mountain high-light team is marching towards the South Gate Tower!"

At the west gate of Tsugawa Castle, Yoshijing Komura listened to the battle situation constantly coming to his ears, and his face was very calm.

The two warwheels at the south gate of Tsugawa Castle were destroyed by the forces of the Yokote family as early as yesterday, and Totoki Yoshimori and Tozawa Moriyoshi retreated to Sannomaru, preparing to rely on the walls of Sannomaru to block the Yokote family's attack.

The battle at the south gate has begun, and the situation on the west gate side is similar, and Ryotaro Miyamizu with hundreds of monks and ronins has begun to climb the castle wall. This was followed by a mob of people.

Thanks to the policies implemented by the Tsugawa family, the new book of the Hodo stipulates that except for those who participate in the Tsugawa family's ashigaru training, they can keep their weapons and equipment, and ordinary citizens are not allowed to hide weapons privately. So the mob was poorly armed and mostly unpresentably armed.

In a siege battle like this, don't look at the many people on the side of Jinchengfang Xuangao, but there are only a few people who can really attack the city. Except for the monks and soldiers of Kanazawa Hachimangu Shrine and the ronin recruited by Gentaka of Kaneshirobo for a long time, only some peasant soldiers who have participated in ashigaru training can be used.

But even these troops are already more powerful than the Tsugawa family at the West Gate.

At present, only Takahashi Kokoku and Matsuoka Shuyo are the main force of Ximen, and the Rokugo Masaka team and the Shinbata family team can only serve as auxiliaries to support Takahashi Kokoku and others as reserves. And the miners lost their ability to fight two days ago.

After all, it's just a temporary mobilization of miners, let them dig and mine to build a city, it's okay to let them fight, even if there are huge rewards and the temptation to avoid work and rest, it can't change the fact that the miners are very scum.

However, there are still many useful people among the miners, such as a man named Hiroshi Hirata.

That's right, Hirata Hiroshi is the son of Hirata Konshiro, the maid who married Kikuhime, Kotori, the "unlucky ghost". In the past few days, Hirata Hiroshi has already won more than a dozen enemy monks, which has made Takahashi Xingguo and others admire.
