Of course, he was followed by 100 Tsukawa Castle Standing Guards led by Ichiro Yamamoto and more than 60 peasant soldiers who arrived from Kakudoyama Castle. Although they are all on foot, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and the speed of Tsugawa Soji and others on horseback is not particularly fast, and the standing ashigaru of the Tsugawa family has long been accustomed to long-distance running and rapid marching, so they can still keep up with the pace.
A man dressed as a ronin in the team stood out because he actually rushed to the front, almost catching up with the flag of Soharu Tsugawa on horseback. This person is Sasaki Mataro, originally Tsugawa Soji planned to leave him in Tsugawa City, but Sasaki Mataro said that he would follow Tsugawa Soji to Takahashi Castle, and in desperation, Tsukawa Soji could only take him, Sasaki Mataro's martial arts are very good, and it is also a good help.
"Takahashi Xingjia, how long will it take to get to Takahashi City?" Soji Tsugawa shouted loudly without looking back.
The Takahashi family behind him hurriedly replied, "Lord, the first 2 miles is Takahashi Castle." ”
"Good!" Soji Tsugawa turned his head and shouted at the person behind him, "Speed up, Takahashi Castle is ahead!" ”
"Hah!"
..............
Takahashi Castle not far away is already in danger, and Onodera Quando has led a team to attack the castle tower, and the follow-up Onodera family Ashigaru has also begun to enter the city in a steady stream.
Although Takahashi Xingguo and Komura Yoshikyo and others fought desperately, the numerical disadvantage was too great, and it was impossible to stage a group in a certain romance, Takahashi Xingguo and others took more than 10 ashigaru to fight and retreat, preparing to enter the castle tower for the final resistance.
As for the family members of the Takahashi family, due to the promulgation of the "New Book of Law" by Tsugawa Soji, most of the family members of the Takahashi family have moved to Tsugawa Castle, and now only Takahashi Kokoku's wife is left in Takahashi Castle.
"Akiko, quick, the enemy has already invaded the city, you go to Tsugawa Castle immediately, go to your mother and Dalang!" Takahashi Kokoku said to his wife Akiko with red eyes.
However, Mingzi shook his head, and said with a firm gaze, "Where is the husband, where is the concubine." Even if she dies, the concubine is willing to die next to her husband! Decades of love turned into tears at this moment, constantly flowing out of the eyes of the two.
However, the situation could not tolerate the two of them, and Yoshikage Komura shouted loudly outside, "Lord Takahashi, the enemy has entered Honmaru!" ”
"Akiko, are you afraid of pain?" Takahashi Xingguo's rough face was full of warmth at this time, and he brushed Akiko's face with his right hand full of blood lovingly, and asked softly.
"The concubine is not afraid!" Akiko already knew what would happen if she didn't leave, and replied calmly.
Takahashi Kokoku shouted outside at the top of his voice, "Shinji Hanada, hold off the enemy!" Komura-sama, please! ”
"Hah!"
Takahashi Xingguo pulled out his ribs and sat on the ground, and said to Akiko beside him, "I don't want to see you die, so let me go first!" As he spoke, he untied his feet and casually parted the clothes inside, revealing the skin inside.
Outside the castle tower, Shinji Hanada had already guessed what his lord was going to do inside, and his grief turned into great courage, and Shinji Hanada, who was not very skilled in martial arts, actually blocked more than a dozen Shiba family's ashigaru out for a while.
Shinji Hanada still remembers that winter five years ago, when Shinji Hanada's Tsunoda family was destroyed by the Ayubei family, and Shinji Hanada suddenly became a samurai in the wilderness. Frustrated, Shinji Hanada and his wife, mother, and sister are preparing to move from Zhishi County to Senhoku County to join their childhood friends, but when they arrive, they find that bandits are attacking the village, and their childhood friend Heishiro has been killed.
Then, the bandits targeted the Hanada Shinji family, and even though Hanada Shinji resisted, Hanada Shinji alone could not stop the bandits of more than ten people. Soon after, Hanada Shinji's mother and wife were killed one after another, and Hanada Shinji was also stabbed several times and fell in a pool of blood.
But when Hanada Shinji opened his eyes again, he found that his sister was sleeping next to him, and then Hanada Shinji knew that he was saved by Takahashi Kokoku, so Hanada Shinji decided to work for Takahashi's family from now on. Later, he married his sister Ame to the Takahashi family.
Although he is also a member of the Takahashi family, Shinji Hanada has never been proud of this, and has always worked hard for Takahashi Xingguo, just to repay the kindness, which also makes Takahashi Xingguo very appreciative. After 5 years of hard work, Shinji Hanada rose all the way up and became a general of Ashigaru.
Just when Shinji Hanada waved the spear in his hand with teary eyes to prevent the Spa family from stepping forward, suddenly Shinji Hanada's eyes fluttered "bellflower pattern." At first, Shinji Hanada thought he was wrong, but when Shinji Hanada saw a samurai dressed in pure black with feet, Shinji Hanada spat out a few words in his mouth, "Reinforcements from the main hall!" ”
"My lord! Reinforcements from the main hall are coming! Lord! Hanada Shinji excitedly shouted to the castle guard, this sentence seemed to use up all the strength of Hanada Shinji, so that Hanada Shinji knelt on the ground with weak legs.
Inside the castle tower, Takahashi Xingguo's ribs have already reached the skin, and Takahashi Xingguo has even felt the amazing chill on the ribs. However, at this time, Shinji Hanada's voice came, which made Takahashi Xingguo, who was already desperate, suddenly light up his eyes!
"The lord's reinforcements are here!" Yoshiki Komura also shouted excitedly.
"Quick! Get out! Takahashi Xingguo stood up excitedly, "Go out and fight!" The lord's reinforcements have arrived! ”
Suddenly, Takahashi Kokoku and Komura Yoshiki went crazy and began to rush outside, and Akiko behind him couldn't hold back any longer, and tears flowed out of his eyes like a spring. This is a woman who has just experienced life and death, and this is also a woman who has regained hope.
Soji Tsugawa finally arrived, Takahashi Castle has 2 gates, and the structure is somewhat similar to Tazawa Castle, with two gates in front and one behind. And the back gate is the gate that Tsugawa Soji entered at this time, and with the entry of Tsugawa Soji and others, the Onodera family Ashigaru, who was still searching around the city, suddenly became the target of Tsugawa Soji and others.
Under the impact, more than a dozen ashigari were killed one after another. When he rushed to the castle tower of Takahashi Castle, there were only 2 ashigaru left by Takahashi Kokuni and Komura Yoshikei, and as for Hanada Shinji, he had already fallen to the ground unconscious.
"Kill!" Soji Tsugawa rushed towards the Onodera family outside the castle tower with red eyes, and the group behind him also howled and followed. The twenty or thirty Onodera family Ashigaru outside the castle tower were frightened by the sudden appearance of Tsugawa Soji and his party, and immediately scattered and fled.
Before the late Onodera family and the others could figure out what the situation was, they were first scattered by the ashigaru who had fled from their own family, and when the cavalry of the Tsugawa family who followed closely came into view, Onodera did not say a word, turned around and joined the fleeing queue..............
