Chapter 264: The Tsugawa Family is in Action!
On June 16, the 12th year of the Astronomical Calendar, Tsugawa Soji left a small group of bandits to guard the Hirichi Inner Pavilion and continued to march with the rest of his troops. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Since the forces of Hirichi Inner Pavilion and Arase Pavilion had been defeated by the Tsugawa family, and with Yasuke, a person familiar with the terrain of this place, led the way, Tsugawa Soji and others attacked the Arase Pavilion without much effort.
After that, Tsugawa Soji found a total of 700 kanin and 60 silver coins in the warehouse of the Arase Pavilion and in the Takayama family's house. The Aren Silver Mountain not far away was also controlled by Abe Enta and the Yamaguchi people, and after some searching, they also found a lot of silver mines that had not yet had time to refine, but at this time, they could not properly dispose of these things and had to give up.
But Tsugawa Soji will not leave a good silver mine for the Jiacheng family, so he ordered the mine to be destroyed and blocked, although the effect is not very obvious, but at least it can add to the Jiacheng family!
Tsugawa Soji once again left a part of his forces to guard the Arasekan, and the Arase Pavilion and the Hirichi Inner Pavilion were the retreat of Tsugawa Soji and others. If Tsugawa Soji and the others don't go well this time, at least there is a way to retreat and return to the territory, otherwise if they are really trapped in the hinterland of Anton's family, they will be unable to escape.
Then, Tsugawa Soji and others continued to march towards the base of the Kasei family. At this time, this war is also breaking out in the distant Minato City.
On June 9, the 12th year of the Astronomical Calendar, after the Anto family launched a wave of tentative attacks on Minato Castle to no avail, the Anto family divided into two armies, led by Yoshinaga Kamira and Yoshiyuki Sato, with 600 men each marching towards Kubota Castle and Toshima Castle.
On June 11, Sato's team was the first to rush to Kubota Castle, but before they could launch an offensive against Kubota Castle, the Tsukawa family suddenly attacked the castle. Caught off guard, Yoshiyuki Sato was defeated five miles west of Kubota Castle, gathered the remnants of his army, and asked for help from Anton Shunji in Minato.
The Kanura Yoshicho team also encountered the stubborn resistance of the Onodera family in Toshima Castle, and the two broke out into fierce battles and won and lost each other, but Toshima Castle was still controlled by the Onodera family.
The Anto family's naval army, Togashi, landed at Shirakabashi Castle under the leadership of Kenji Kitaura Kenji, the commander of the Anto family's naval army, and happened to collide with the forces of the Yajima family, who were marching here. However, this time the Ando family achieved a brilliant victory, and won the Yashima family Ashigaru 7 people, and the Yashima family was defeated by the Ando family and retreated to the Matsuzaki Castle of the Ando family. On the same day, the White Birch City was lost.
And after Ando Shunji learned of the battle reports of Kubota Castle and Toshima Castle, he immediately asked Kasei Yasushi and Hideji Igme to go to Kubota Castle and other places with their respective forces to support Sato Yoshiyuki and others.
And about 1,500 troops were transferred from the territory again, and for a time the Andong family had gathered nearly 5,000 troops in the area of Minato City. This is also all the troops that the Andong family can mobilize, which can also prove that Andong Shunji has made up his mind to capture Minato City.
On June 14, Anton Shunji personally commanded the Ashigaru of the Anton family to launch a general attack on Minato Castle, and after two days of fighting, there were less than 500 Ashigaru left in Minato, and the Anton family also lost several hundred people.
On June 15, the Tsukawa family of Kubota Castle, led by Yoshikawa Hiroya and others, assaulted the Sato Yoshiyuki and Hideji Fiftyme troops outside the castle, and after a great battle, the Sato Yoshiyuki and Hideji Fiftyme teams were all defeated, and Sato Yoshiyuki and Hideji Fiftyme fled to Toshima Castle with only more than a dozen banners.
After defeating the forces of the Ando family at Kubota Castle, the forces of the Tsugawa family split up in two ways, and while Hisaharu Mizutani and Tadashi Kawakami took the Tsugawa family's Seibei and Midoribei to Toshima Castle to support the Onodera family. The rest of the troops, led by Yoshikawa Hiroie and Nagano Masabo, went to the Akita area east of Minato Castle to set up a formation to contain Anton Shunji's right flank.
In the face of the aggressive posture of the Tsukawa family, Anton Shunji of Minato Castle did not dare to attack Minato Castle anymore, but asked Miura Morinaga and Miura Moriki to take the Miura family's troops to intercept the Tsugawa family's troops.
Then Anton Shunji sent an order to Kitaura Kenji of Shirakaba Castle, asking him to lead the Toga people from Shirakabashi Castle to the east, and cooperate with Kaminura Yoshinaga and others of Toshima Castle to attack Toshima Castle.
On the other hand, Anton Shunji asked his generals to go to Toshima Castle with a letter written by himself..............
...........
Minezawa City is the foundation of the Jiacheng family. It is located on the border between the Ou Mountains and the Binai area. This is the hinterland of Akita County, with the Asari family's domain to the east, the Ando family's Hiyama Castle to the north, and the Fiftyme Castle of the Fifty Eyes family to the west.
When Tsugawa Soji rushed to Minezawa Castle with the Tsugawa family's troops, the situation in Minezawa Castle was unexpected by Tsugawa Soji and others. I don't know if it's carelessness or overconfidence in the Comparison Inner Pavilion and the Arase Pavilion, but there are only more than 20 ashigaru in the huge Minezawa Castle.
When the Tsukawa family's hundreds of troops suddenly came out, Minezawa Castle was unable to organize an effective defense at all, and Minezawa Castle was easily captured by the Tsukawa family.
When Soharu Tsugawa and the others entered the castle tower of Minezawa Castle, the family of Kasei Yasuyoshi didn't know what was going on. With a wave of his hand, Soji Tsugawa let Abe Enta start his old job and take Jiacheng Yasukiyo's family down.
Then Tsugawa Soji asked Takahashi to take people to count the warehouses of Minezawa Castle, a total of 1,400 kan of money, 200 pieces of silver, 6,400 stone of grain, and countless materials of all kinds.
Looking at so many things, Tsugawa Soji is happy and sad, happy that these things are now at his own disposal, and he is worried that there are too many and don't know how to take them away. In desperation, Tsugawa Soji could only leave a part of the money and silver judgment, and the rest of the things were burned on the spot.
For a time, there was wolf smoke in Minezawa City, and fires spread everywhere.
After capturing Minezawa Castle, Tsugawa Soji did not stop but continued to advance towards the territory of the Fifty Eyes family with his troops. The Fifty-Eyes Castle of the Fifty-Eyes Family is 20 miles west of Minezawa Castle.
The next day, when the Tsugawa family's forces appeared outside Fiftyme Castle, the situation was almost exactly the same as that of Minezawa Castle. Whether it is the Jiacheng family or the Fifty Mu family, or Anton Shunji behind it, they would not have expected that a force would have entered their hinterland, and they were still burning and looting in the territory.........
After the capture of Ichime Castle, Tsugawa Soji ordered his troops to repair on the spot, and sent Matsujiro (a ninja from Yamashita Village) who accompanied the army to Minato Castle to inquire about it.
Takahashi Koke and Abe Enta and others found Soji Tsugawa and asked puzzledly, "My lord, why did you stop?" ”
"Yes, my lord, we have gained a lot these days. Continue to kill the past, the north is Hinoyama City, but there are more than ten generations of Anton's accumulation in the city, and the harvest must be very expensive! "Abe Enta who was born as a bandit is the most invisible, and the things he loots these days are all in hundreds. Even the Yamaguchi people, who robbed houses for a living, had never made such a big gain.
After hearing this, Tsugawa Soji said with a smile, "I can't continue to attack, if the people of the Andong family are not stupid, now that the information of our people and others must have gone to Minato Castle to inform Ando Shunji." Until Anton Sun-ji doesn't react, we can't act rashly for the time being. ”
"As for the belongings, we've grabbed enough of them these days, and we can't take any more. What's more, you can't offend Anton Shunji and others too hard, otherwise Anton Shunji and others will be annoyed and angry, and if they would rather give up these things than fight hard with their own family, the gains will outweigh the losses. Soji Tsugawa continued.
"It's still thoughtful as the lord thinks!" Enta Abe and Koya Takahashi hurriedly flattered.
Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said with a smile on his face, "In this way, the family has already made a move, it depends on how our Lord Anton responds!" ”
