After Anton Shunji was taken at Mt. Suzuru, Tsugawa Soji ordered Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadakei and others to go straight to Anto's home to Hiyama Castle. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info But although Miki Naogo and others moved quickly, they were still half a beat slower, and an hour before arriving at Hiyama Castle, Anton's retainer Kubota Jifang had already taken Anton Shunji's eldest son Taro and second son out of Hiyama Castle in advance, and their whereabouts were unknown.

Subsequently, after half an hour of siege, Miki Naogo and others captured Hiyama Castle, which was almost an empty city. By the time Soharu Tsugawa led his army to Hiyama Castle, it was already the next morning.

In the majestic four-story castle tower of Hiyama Castle, Tsugawa Soji sat on the main seat with an excited face, and the retainers who followed the troops this time sat down in turn. Hiyama Castle is the result of generations of the Anto family, and the castle tower is extremely magnificent, and the decoration is so magnificent that even the "well-informed" Tsugawa Soji in later generations is quite smack-smacked.

"My lord, the Lord of the small village has just sent a message to threaten the castle in preparation for the capture of the family, and the castle generation Hasuda Mitsushige is seppuku in the castle tower, and a total of 17 enemy samurai and 163 ashigaru are taken." At this time, Takahashi Koke suddenly walked in from outside the castle tower and said in the ear of Soji Tsugawa.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then said to Jiro Iwaki on the side, "Jiro, how is the movement of the remnants of the Andong family?" ”

"Back to the lord, the team of the Andong family Sato Yoshiyuki retreated to Nodaikan in the northwest direction of Hiyama Castle, and the rest of the troops scattered and fled, and it is impossible to detect their movements for the time being." Jiro Iwaki hurriedly replied.

"Humph! A rabble, don't bother. Tsugawa Soji snorted coldly, then turned his head to the retainers in front of him and said disapprerovingly, "Everyone, Anton Shunji is dead, and the Anton family has no leader. Hiyama Castle was also captured by the main family, and the Andong family had nothing to worry about. ”

"However, even so, the rest of the Ando family's territories need to be conquered one by one to ensure the family's rule over the entire Akita Prefecture and Yamamoto Prefecture." Soji Tsugawa continued, "Now, I'll announce the next battle arrangement!"

"Hah!" As soon as they heard this, the retainers in the hall all looked at Tsugawa Soji excitedly, with a look of hope. Especially the retainers who did not make any meritorious achievements in this battle, they are even more looking forward to it.

"Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadakei, the two of you march to Fengzhang Castle east of Hiyama Castle. After capturing Fengzhang Castle, he stayed behind Fengzhang Castle and waited for his family's orders. ”

"Kuji Mizutani, Yoshima Kailong, and Mitsuaki Kuchigi, the three of you lead the army to attack the Noshiro Pavilion in the northwest direction!"

"Yoshikawa Hiroie, Takahu Masanobu, Nobi Nobita, the three of you attack Yamori Castle."

"Nagano Masabo, you lead a team to attack the shallow inner city."

"After taking the city, quickly inspect the city and nearby territories, no one is allowed to plunder, and if you violate it, you will be immediately executed!" Tsugawa Soji said undoubtedly, "In addition, to appease the people, post notices, and send detectives to and from everywhere to prevent a break." ”

"Takahashi Koke, you send someone to escort Ogasawara Yasunaga and Kiuchi Nagaru to Hinoyama Castle, and let the two of them take charge of the newly occupied territory for the rest of the time." Soji Tsugawa then said to Takahashi Koke beside him.

"Hah!"

"The rest of the people will be repaired on the spot in Hinoyama City."

"The military will pay the list of combat merits, count the casualty data, and hold an evaluation meeting here in ten days!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"Ha-ha!"

The news of Anton Shunji's death immediately spread in the northern area of Hago, and the first to learn the news were Shimizu Masayoshi and others at Yamamotokan. At first, Shimizu Masakachi and Kitewa Hirotake didn't believe it, but it's only been a few days, and Anton Shunji died?

In the minds of the two, even if Anton Shunji can't beat Soji Tsugawa, he can at least stick to Hiyama Castle. With the sturdiness of Hiyama Castle, it is not a problem to block the Tsugawa family. But the two never expected that things would develop like this.

Even if the two of them didn't believe it, it was useless, and when the head of Anton Shunji was just raised by Kinoshita Heijiro under the command of Akechi Mitsuhisa to the outside of Hinoyama Castle with a spear, Shimizu Masayoshi fainted on the spot.

Subsequently, at the signal of Hiroshi Kite, the Yamamoto Building, which was immovable no matter how Akechi Mitsuhisa and others attacked, finally opened the city gate and surrendered.

On October 8, the thirteenth year of Astronomy, Fengzhang Castle was attacked and captured by the troops led by Miki Naogo and Kawakami Tadakei. The next day, Noyokan was also captured, and Joshiro Yoshida Keijiro had already been killed in the battle at Mt. Suzuru, and it was easily captured by Noyokan without any decent resistance at all.

However, Yoshikawa Hiroke and others, who attacked Yamori Castle, were met with stubborn resistance from Matsushita Kenhisa's team and Oshima Yusuke's team who retreated to Yamori Castle, but because the enemy was outnumbered, and the ashigaru in the castle did not have much will to fight at all, so after resisting for two days, seeing that there was no hope of defending the city, Matsushita Kenhisa and Oshima Yusuke surrendered helplessly.

On October 14, the thirteenth year of the Astronomical Calendar, it had been ten days since the Tsugawa family captured Hiyama Castle. The Anto family's territory in the Hago region was all captured by the Tsugawa family, and his retainers Shimizu Masayoshi, Kiniwa Hirotake, Oshima Yusuke, Matsushita Kenhisa, and others surrendered. The head of the Jiacheng family, Jiacheng Jiqing, was executed by order of Tsugawa Soji, and the Jiacheng family's territory was confiscated.

After the loss of the head of the Anton family, the new governor was succeeded by Anton Shunji's eldest son, Taro Anto, who was only 5 years old this year. The fifth-generation head of the Anton family, Anton Xunji, as the successor of Taro Ando, assisted Taro Ando and controlled the power of the Anton family.

After losing their territories in Akita and Yamamoto, the Anto family retreated to their territories in the Mutsu Okutsugaru region. Due to the isolation of the Ou Mountains and the rugged road, Tsugawa Soji also gave up the idea of continuing the pursuit. Moreover, the Tsugaru area has always been regarded as a bag by the southern family, and once the power of the Tsukawa family infiltrates the Tsugaru area, it will inevitably be suspicious of the southern Harusasa. For now, Soji Tsugawa is not willing to create any gap with the southern family, after all, the current strength of the Tsugawa family is not enough to compete with the southern family.

At this time, the new capital of the Andong family in the Tsugaru area was in Fukushima Castle, and everyone wore filial piety, and the city was depressed. Anton, who is already old, is looking for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, even if he is very sad in his heart, but he has to come forward to the abbot's overall situation.

However, no matter how hard Anton tried to find Ji, he couldn't save the Anton family's ship, which was about to sink. The lord of the small country castle in the Tsugaru region, Hida Sadatsugu, was the first to raise the anti-flag and captured the neighboring Heidate Castle. then took refuge in the Langgang family, and filled another scar on the already precarious Andong family.

Subsequently, the Oura family, a wealthy clan in the Tsugaru region, took the opportunity to send 1,000 troops from Oura Castle, the main base, to cross Iwaki Mountain and attack Tanesato Castle of the Hiyama Andong family, and the owner of the Fukaurakan, Yoshiyuki Sato, urgently mobilized 200 peasants and soldiers in the domain to rush to Tanesato Castle despite his own injuries. However, the enemy was outnumbered, and the castle was still captured.

Subsequently, Yoshiyuki Sato retreated to Akaishi Castle and assisted the lord of the castle, Takayoshi Akaishi, to continue defending against the attacks of the Oura family.

The building is about to fall, and it may not be too late for Anton's family to perish.
