Outside the eight households, as the siege continued, whether it was the strength of the three households in the city or the strength of the nine households outside the city, they were a little powerless.

In the main camp of the nine households, the nine households were wrapped in a leather jacket and sat on the main seat, and in the tent sat the sister who led the family and the sister who took the house, the sister who took the house, the four households who were the head of the four households, the four households who were in charge of the four households, the one who was the head of the one household, the one who was the head of the Ishiga family, the head of the Ishiga family, the head of the Ishiga family, the head of the Noda family, Noda Masayoshi, the head of the East family, and the retainer of the Nine Households, Castle Shoshin Yin, and others.

"Lord, Hachinohe Castle has not been able to be attacked for a long time, and the weather is getting colder, the morale of the ashigaru people has dropped a lot, if you can't capture Hachinohe Castle again, I'm afraid my family will have to withdraw the army." Castle Shou Shin Yin said to Kuho Shinaka with a worried face.

"Humph!" Hearing the words of the city shou Shin Yin, Kuhe Shinaka snorted coldly, and then said slowly, "I didn't expect that Mitsunohe Haruma has fallen so far, and the people around him are still so desperate to protect each other!" What a headache! "Nobunaka Kunohe and the others have now called Nanbu Harumi Sanhe Harumasa, because if they continue to call Nanbu Harumasa, it is equivalent to continuing to recognize that the three families are the heads of the southern families, which is definitely not what Kunohe Nobunaka wants to see.

"In particular, Bei Xinai and Nan Changyi led their troops to defend the city walls, and their family spent several days suffering heavy casualties, and they failed to capture the west gate of Hachinohe City!" The head of the family responsible for attacking the West Gate said with a resentful face.

"Isn't it just North Xinai and South Changyi?" As soon as one of the households finished speaking, the four households on the other side also said helplessly, "The horseback team under the command of Ting Naotsuna is cruising near Hachinohe Castle, and every time the next army attacks the city, it will be harassed by it, and the strength of the family is also making no progress!" ”

A good military discussion instantly became a grievance meeting, and everyone told all about the unhappiness of this time.

After saying that, everyone was a little more relaxed, but Nobunaka Kudo's face suddenly darkened!

"Bastard!" Jiuhe Shinaka said angrily: "It's just an eight-household city, and thousands of troops from my family have attacked it for nearly a month, and they haven't even climbed the castle tower, don't you feel ashamed?" When he thought of himself who looked at Hachinohe Castle and sighed with joy during this time, Nobunaka Jiuhe held back a fire in his heart.

After saying that, the faces of the people in the tent were indeed not very good-looking.

At this time, the stone turtle Nobubo, who had been sitting silently on the side, suddenly spoke, "Shinnakaden, Hachinohe Castle is the largest castle in the Karabe County except for the three castles, and it is the hard work of the Hachinohe clan for several generations, and it is not an easy castle to attack. ”

"And there is plenty of food in the city, plus Bei Xinai, Nan Changyi and others are all south... Minohe Haruma's die-hard loyalists, if he can easily capture Hachinohe Castle, it would be strange. The stone turtle letter room said slowly.

Nobunaka, who was already very angry, became even more annoyed after hearing the words of the stone turtle letter house, "Stone turtle letter house, do you regret it when you see the three households sitting in the city of eight households now?" ”

"Shin Nakaden." Shi Gui Xinfang said expressionlessly, "You need to know that Zai Xia is different from you, Zai Xia is from the Sanhe clan, and after embarking on this road, there is no turning back." Therefore, Minohe Harimasa and Zai Xia are already mortal enemies. ”

"As for the capture of Hachinohe Castle, don't you think you have drilled the horns?" Shi Gui Xinfang raised his eyebrows and continued.

Hearing Ishigami's explanation, Kunohe Shinaka's face improved slightly, but he was still extremely puzzled by what Ishigami Shinbo said, so he continued to ask, "If Ishokami-sama has something to say, just say it." ”

"Huh." Stone Turtle Nobubo chuckled, and then said slowly, "Everyone thinks that after the winter, our army's offensive will inevitably stop, and Minohe Haruma will be given a chance to breathe. In fact, it's not, in the next opinion, it is after the winter that the three households will be destroyed! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Nobunaka Kunohe then asked.

Ishigami Shinbo continued, "Although Hachinohe Castle is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not without weaknesses. As far as I know, there are no materials and clothes for the winter in the Hachinohe Castle, if the soldiers in the Hachinohe Castle are still wearing single clothes after the winter, haha, I'm afraid I don't have to wait for the siege of the city, and the Sanhe Qingzheng can only obediently open the city gate and beg to surrender! ”

"That's right!" The words of the stone turtle letter house seemed to open the door of the new century to everyone in this array, and everyone suddenly became enlightened.

"Haha!" Jiuhe Xinzhong suddenly smiled and said, "The so-called knowing oneself and knowing the other is invincible, and the Xinfang Hall is really an eye-opener for the family!" Hearing the words of the stone turtle letter, the nine nobunaka even changed the tone of the stone turtle letter.

"Ladies and gentlemen, as the letter hall said, if our army does not attack these eight cities! Immediately send people back to Jiuhe City to prepare winter clothes for 1,500 people, and then we will wait outside these eight households to open the door and surrender! Ha ha! Nobunaka Kunohe stroked his beard and laughed.

"Hah!"

.........

Hachinohe Castle.

After the weather cooled down, the situation in the city became more and more unfavorable to Minohe Harusasa.

"Lord, the winter clothes in the city are only enough for more than 100 people, and the food is sufficient, but if there are no winter clothes, the families of the peasants and soldiers mobilized in the city will also be dismissed." Inside the Hachinohe Castle Castle Guard, Minami Nagayoshi said to Harumasa Mitohe, who was gathering around the fire to keep warm.

The location of Karanbe Prefecture is further north than that of Dewa Province, and the temperature here is even lower, and there is occasionally a little snow in the sky, adding a chill to the already cold weather.

"Is there any news from the Tsugawa family?" Minohe Harumasa didn't raise his head, but looked at the dancing flames on the fire in front of him, and said slowly.

Nan Changyi shook his head, "There is no news for the time being. ”

"Alas!" Minohe Harumasa sighed, "For today's plan, I can only pin my hopes on the Tsugawa family!" ”

Just as Minohe Harumasa said this sentence with a depressed face, Hokushin Ai ran into the castle tower with a happy face, and said loudly to Minohe Harumasa, "Lord! Someone just shot in from outside the city with a letter! I thought it was another letter of persuasion from Nobunaka Kunohe, but I didn't expect it to be a letter from the Tsugawa family! As he spoke, Kitanobu Ai handed a letter tied to an arrow in his hand to Harumasa Mitohe.

Mitsunohe Harumasa hurriedly took it and looked eagerly, and after reading it, Mitohe Harumasa suddenly stood up from the ground and said excitedly, "God help me!" The forces of the Tsugawa family have arrived at Taneji Castle, and they have agreed with us to launch an assault on the forces of the nine families outside the city at noon tomorrow! ”

"Hikotaro, uncle, go down immediately and get the ashigaru ready! Tomorrow, the family will crush the bastards of the nine families in one go! Minohe Harumasa said with a hideous face. After holding back the anger for so long, I can finally vent it tomorrow, and Mitohe Harimasa is now eager to fly directly to Nobunaka's side tomorrow and cut off Nobunaka's head with a knife and use it as a ball!

"Haha!" After listening to Nanbu Qingzheng's words, Bei Xinai and Nan Changyi hurriedly replied loudly.
