Yajima Tadahei, the only son of Yajima Mitsuhisa, became the flag of Tsugawa Soji when the Yajima family took refuge in the Tsugawa family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the fierce battle ahead, Yajima Tadabei felt an itch in his heart. It's a pity that as the flag of Tsugawa Soji, the first priority is to protect the safety of Tsugawa Soji, and as for things like rushing into battle, there are generally few opportunities.

"Tadabei, the right flank seems to be the force led by Yajima-sama, but depending on the situation, the southern family has the advantage. Yajima-sama's situation is not good! Another flag book standing on the side said slowly.

Yajima Tadabei nodded, "The lord has already sent Shinda-sama to the rescue just now, so I guess I should be able to block the attack of the southern family." ”

"Speaking of which, the strength of the southern family is really powerful! I've never seen a soldier who can face off with his own family without falling behind! Another flag book joined the conversation between the two.

"Heirokuro, it is said that you have been the head of the family since the succession of the lord to the throne of the family, and there are enemies that the family has faced in the past that are as difficult as the southern family?" Seeing that it was Heirokuro, who was the "most qualified" among the flag people, he spoke, and the two loyal soldiers immediately showed strong interest.

"Huh!" Heirokuro smiled and said, "This time is different from the past! In the past, the stone of the main family was only a few hundred, and there were only a few dozen people in the ashigaru. I still remember that my family was the weakest wealthy family in Kakujian River, and even the bandits rushed to bully my family. If it weren't for the wisdom and martial arts of the lord, how could there be this family? ”

"As for difficult opponents. For the original family, people like the Tozawa family were already considered big enemies. It's just that the strength of the family is getting stronger and stronger now, so only the southern family can match the family. ”

"So Heirokuro, do you think the family can defeat the southern family this time like they defeated those enemies before?" Tadabei Ojima then asked.

Heirokuro glanced at Tadabei on the lost island, and then said, "Tadabei, as the flag book of the lord, these are not things we should discuss!" Our duty is to protect the safety of the lord, and as for the affairs on the battlefield, it is naturally the responsibility of the other troops of our family. With that, Heirokuro patted Tadabei on the shoulder and stepped aside.

Actually, Yajima Tadahei's mood Heirokuro is quite understandable.

In the Tsugawa family, even peasant soldiers can be "easily" reused, promoted to samurai, commanding a squad or even a squadron. However, only the Tsugawa Soharu Banners were the most embarrassed.

Due to the lack of opportunities to go to the battlefield, military merit is simply a luxury for the bannermen, which also makes the bannermen almost unable to see the future of promotion and salary increase, and it is certain that they have ideas in their hearts.

Once upon a time, Heirokuro was also a little unwilling in his heart. At the time, almost everyone in Ashigaru, who was killed or wounded in battle, became samurai, and some even became the garrison of a castle. And he is still just a flag book, which makes Heirokuro feel lost and unwilling!

It wasn't until one day, after Takahashi Xingjia was drunk again, that he inadvertently revealed the news that Tsugawa Soji would reuse the flag in the future, which made Heirokuro feel better. Therefore, Heirokuro knows best in his heart the thoughts of Tadabei on the lost island.

"Still too young! I can't hold my breath........" Heirokuro sighed in his heart.

"Woo! Woo! Woo! At this moment, a rapid spiral sound suddenly sounded, breaking the previous quiet atmosphere.

Heirokuro suddenly stood up straight, and shouted with a nervous expression, "Where do you blow the snail?" "This kind of snail sound Heirokuro is too familiar, this is the early warning sound of the patrol of this formation.

Generally speaking, within a radius of 2 miles from Tsugawa Soji's main camp, there would be a patrol of 5 squads patrolling back and forth, acting as a mobile outpost. Now the patrol squad has suddenly blown the conch, so that's it! Two miles away from the main camp, an enemy has appeared!

"Heirokuro! Where does the spiral ring? At this time, Takahashi Xingjia, the head of the banner of Tsugawa Soji, also rushed over.

Heirokuro shook his head, the conch sounded too hastily and too shortly, and it was impossible to discern the direction in which the sound was coming from.

Takahashi Xingjia frowned, and said with a solemn face: "The sound of the conch only rang three times and then stopped!" It shows that the patrol team was completely wiped out within the time of blowing the conch three times, and there are a lot of enemies! ”

"There are 10 ashigaru in a patrol, and even against an enemy force five times their size, they can hold out for at least a quarter of an hour! It can completely annihilate the patrol team of the family in just three conch times, and the enemy army has at least a few hundred people! Heirokuro also added!

Thinking of this, Takahashi Xingjia hurriedly said, "Heirokuro, inform Lord Torima, and guard against this formation!" All the flags are gathered outside the camp! ”

"Hah!"

After the arrangement, Takahashi Xingke immediately returned to the main camp.

"Do you know where the conch sounds?" Compared with the panic of Takahashi Xingjia and others, Soji Tsugawa was extremely calm! Although he already knew that there was an enemy in his vicinity, Soji Tsugawa knew that he must not panic at this time! Countless vivid examples in his previous life told Soji Tsugawa that at such a critical juncture, you must be calm! If the general is panicked, then the troops under his command will also lose their will to fight, and by that time, the Tsugawa family will be finished.

"Could it be that the right wing has been defeated? The forces of the southern family have rushed to my home position? Soji Tsugawa said suspiciously. But then I thought about it, Xin Tian Nobu Shihiro had already led four squadrons of Ashigaru to support, even if he couldn't block the attack of the southern family, it would not let the troops of the southern family rush to their own position so quickly.

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's question, Takahashi Koke stabilized his emotions, and then said slowly, "My lord! Things may not be good! ”

"I don't know where the sound of a conch is heard, but I guess the number of enemy troops is not less than 300! And probably more! Takahashi Xingjia said nervously, "The lord is no longer safe here, it is better to ask the lord to withdraw first, and here will be handed over to the ministers to serve as the palace army!" After speaking, a look of determination appeared on Takahashi Xingjia's face.

"Bastard!" Although he was grateful to Takahashi Xingjia for taking the initiative to stay and serve as the palace army to cover his retreat, Tsugawa Soji didn't think it was a good idea!

Made, if I all run, then wouldn't all the ashigaru on the battlefield have to run?

Soharu Tsugawa knew that once he escaped, or what kind of accident happened in this formation! Then the Tsugawa ieshigaru on the battlefield ahead will begin to rout, a rout out of control. At that point, it's all over.

"Xingjia, there are only samurai who died in battle, and there are no samurai who surrender! Today, I, Tsugawa Soji, are here waiting for the enemy to come, and I want to see how many people Nanbu Harumasa has sent to attack my main camp! After speaking, Tsugawa Soji directly picked up the sword that was placed aside, patted the Gu Zu on his body, and then walked out of the main formation.

Looking at the back of Soji Tsugawa, Takahashi Xingjia could only grit his teeth and hurriedly followed.
