Chapter Seventy-Six: The Battle of Komatsugawa (4)
In the evening, Soharu Tsugawa and the others finally returned to the Tsugawa family's main camp. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and Kuroda Iekane and others have been waiting anxiously in this formation.
"How's it going, my lord? What is the rewarding part of this trip? The impatient Kuroda asked impatiently.
Soji Tsugawa waved his hand, took the water on the desk and drank it all, and then said: "God help my Tsugawa family, the source of Komatsu River has been discovered by His Royal Highness, so that the plan to cross the river and fight will be feasible."
"It's really good" "Yes" "Now I want to let the miscellaneous fish of the Tozawa family see the power of the family" In the tent, the retainers of the Tsugawa family are talking excitedly, and the depression and grievances of the whole day today finally have a chance to vent.
"However, the plan for this river crossing operation has changed." Soji Tsugawa said after waiting for everyone to be quiet for a while.
"What? Has it changed? The Kuroda family asked puzzledly, "My lord, since the source of the Komatsu River has been discovered, can't the family cross the river and attack the Tozawa family after sending someone to cut it off?" ”
"Yes, my lord, why is that?" Even the Yoshikawa Hiroshi family was a little unsure of Tsugawa Soji's thoughts.
Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, His Highness did not say that he would give up the attack. Rather, the plan for the offensive had to be reformulated. "Before, the Tsugawa family's battle plan was actually very simple. After shipbuilding failed, he pinned his hopes on lowering the water level of Komatsu River. Now I suddenly heard Tsugawa Soji say that the plan had changed, and Kuroda Iekane and others thought they were going to give up attacking the Tozawa family.
Soji Tsugawa continued, "This time, His Highness climbed Mount Omatsu and not only found the source of Komatsugawa. An underground river was also discovered! ”
"Underground river?" Kuroda Iekane and the others all questioned.
"Yes, the underground river. Originally, if there was no underground river, we would have cut off the flow of water and wait for the water level to drop before crossing the river to attack. But now that there is this underground river, the end of the Tozawa family is not far away. An intriguing smile appeared at the corner of Tsugawa's mouth. (Soji Tsugawa: I'll go, and you can just say the smile of the mystery.) Also intriguing........ )
"Lord, how can you see it?" Yoshikawa Hiroya asked puzzledly, "Even if the family wins a big victory in the battle across the river, the Tozawa family can withdraw to Komatsuyama Castle to defend it." In this way, the family still can't capture Komatsuyama Castle in a short time. ”
"Hmph. This is Heaven to let the Tozawa family perish, and Heaven will do so."
"Providence?" Kuroda Iekane and the others became more and more confused about what Soharu Tsugawa was talking about.
Soji Tsugawa suddenly came to his senses and quickly explained: "I have left Takahashi Koke and Nagano Masabo and others on Omatsu Mountain to intercept the water source of Komatsu River, and you will know the specific situation tomorrow." Now let's go down and rest! In addition, Zhenbei you will send 2 teams of Ashigaru to help, and the specific matters will be arranged by the Takahashi Xingjia."
"Hi"
At this time, on the other side of the river, in the Tozawa family's main camp, a military meeting was also being held.
Tozawa Michimori sat down and said, "It's been a day, why hasn't the Tsugawa family moved?" After speaking, Tozawa Michimori looked at the people in the tent with a confused expression.
"Lord" Tozawa Masayasu replied, "Judging by the water level of the Komatsu River, the only way for the enemy to cross the river is to build ships. However, there are no materials for shipbuilding near Komatsugawa, and I don't know what to do at the moment when I come to the Tsugawa family! Ha ha! ”
After listening to Tozawa Masayasu's words, everyone in the tent burst out laughing. However, only one person nodded thoughtfully and said, "My lord, my subordinates are wondering, even if the Tsugawa family doesn't build ships, can they cross the river?" ”
Before Tozawa Michimori could answer, Tozawa Masayan on the side hurriedly said, "Iwai is long!" Can you come here without building a ship? Swim over? ”
"Haha", "It's stupid", "Yes, haha" For a while, there was laughter in the tent.
"Humph! What if the Tsugawa family sent troops to cut off the water source from the upper reaches of the Komatsu River? Iwai replied disdainfully, "When the water level of the Komatsu River drops, the Tsugawa family's troops can directly cross the Komatsu River" After speaking, Iwai looked at the people in the tent with contempt for a long time.
As soon as he heard Iwai's words, everyone in the tent suddenly changed color.
Tozawa Michimori also said uneasily, "If the Tsugawa family really sends someone to cut off the source of Komatsugawa, then the situation will not be good." After saying that, Tozawa Michimori showed a hesitant expression on his face.
Seeing that Tozawa Michimori seemed to be a little retreating, Tozawa Masayasu on the side was a little nervous, and hurriedly said, "Lord, what if the Tsugawa family cuts off the source?" With the strength of the family, do you still have to be afraid of the Tsugawa family? ”
"Yes, Tozawa-sama is right. Even if Komatsugawa didn't stop the Tsugawa family, the family would definitely be able to defeat the Tsugawa family! The city lord of the valley, Flower Drum, also echoed and said. Since marrying Tozawa Masaan's daughter, Hanabuzawa Mori has followed in the footsteps of Tozawa Masaan in both big and small things.
For a while, the other retainers in the tent saw that Tozawa Masayan and Hanagu Shengqin and other important ministers had expressed their positions, and they also hurriedly spoke out in support. In this way, except for Iwai Nagashi, the other people in the tent are on the side of Tozawa Masayasu.
"You... You" Iwai looked at the people in the tent in disbelief for a long time, even if you want to suppress dissidents or fight for power, you have to distinguish the time. Now that the enemy is still fighting, Iwai has a very bad feeling in his heart.
"In that case, all of you are preparing your troops in various ways to wait for the attack of the Tsugawa family tomorrow!" Tozawa Michimori thought for a moment and spoke.
"Hi"
On Mt. Omatsu.
Takahashi Koke and Nagano Masabo and others are still directing Ashigaru to work. Since the Kuroda family sent 2 teams of Ashigaru to help, the progress was also faster.
"There! And here. We have to build a dam and fence it off," Nagano Masabo commanded a part of Ashigaru and said, "That big rock over there was moved and put here."
"Hi"
Nagano Masabo and Takahashi Xingjia both nodded with satisfaction as they looked at the overall progress of the interception, "Lord Takahashi, this time the lord is planning like this, I guess the Tozawa family will be surprised every day." Nagano Masabo said with a smile.
Takahashi Xingjia on the side nodded and said, "I really didn't expect the lord to think of such a strategy, and the wisdom of the lord is indeed beyond our guess." ”
Nagano Masabo said, "Although the lord is young, he is resourceful and has a bright future for the Tsugawa family, isn't that the object of our allegiance?" After speaking, Nagano Masabo showed a look of admiration.
"That's what Nagano-sama said." Takahashi Xingjia nodded in agreement.
"Hurry up, it must be done in an hour!"
"Hi"
The interception of Omatsuyama proceeded in an orderly manner, but the people of the Tozawa family did not even think about what they would face every day.
