In Komatsugawa, the Ashigaru of the Tozawa family has begun to assemble. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Report, 120 people from the army of Tazawa City Lord Flower Drum Sheng have entered Komatsuyama City."

"Report, 200 people of the valley castle city generation Iwai long army have been assembled"

"Report, Umezawa Castle Lord Tozawa Masayan led an army of 240 people to come"

With the reports of one detective after another, there are more and more ashigaru in Komatsuyama Castle. Except for Tozawa Michimori's troops fighting far away in Yodogawa Castle, all the troops that the Tozawa family could mobilize had been assembled at Komatsuyama Castle. With the addition of 300 people directly led by Tozawa Michimori, the total strength has reached 860 people.

Tozawa Michisheng stood outside the castle tower in high spirits, full of ambition. Regarding the failure to capture Nagano Castle last time in Nagano Seiwai, Tozawa Michimori has always been haunted by it. It felt as uncomfortable as a thorn stuck in my heart.

Tozawa Michimori, who is just 20 years old this year, is about the same age as Soji Tsugawa, so it is inevitable that he will compare himself with Soji Tsugawa. Although the two are about the same age, their experiences are very different. Tozawa Michimori was a direct successor to the original land of the Tozawa family, and although he was able to resist the invasion of forces such as the Nanbu family and the Andong family, he was only the master of the defense.

However, in just 2 years, Tsugawa Soji developed the weak Tsugawa family into a powerful family that now occupies half of the land of Senhoku County and can compete with the Tozawa family. The key to this is clear.

"Soji Tsugawa, I, Michimori Tozawa, am definitely no worse than you! If you dare to attack my Komatsuyama Castle this time, this family must let you know how powerful I am! Tozawa Michimori shouted in his heart.

Without further ado, Hanabuza and the others came to the castle tower.

"Lord, the strength of this family has been assembled, please make it public!" Masayasu Tozawa, the highest-ranking of the three, said.

Among the three, Tozawa Masayasu is the second most important minister of the Tozawa family after Tozawa Masashige, although he has just taken refuge in the Tozawa family, but he is a member of the Tozawa family. And the other Flower Drum Sheng is just a wealthy family in the back of Xianbei County, subordinate to the Tozawa family, but as a foreign minister, his status cannot be compared with ordinary retainers.

And Iwai's long-term status is slightly embarrassing, he is a descendant of the Iwai family, a wealthy family in Pinglu County, although he has repeatedly made military exploits after joining the Tozawa family, and has been promoted to the rank of general and led the castle generation of the valley. But after all, it's not a retainer of the Tozawa family, and it's not a family, it's just a rootless Ping who has just risen.

Tozawa Michimori nodded and said, "What is the current trend of the Tsugawa family?" ”

"My lord, the forces of the Tsugawa family have been assembled at Hondo Castle, and they are currently heading towards Komatsuyama Castle," Tozawa Masayasu replied.

"How many enemy troops are there? Have you ever found out? ”

"According to the report of the Hondo Detective, the Tsugawa family's strength in the main hall should be around 500 to 600 people. There was also a 50-person cavalry team! Tozawa continued to reply.

"500 people?" Tozawa Michimori nodded and continued, "In this way, the strength of the main family is 300 more than the Tsugawa family, but it is difficult for the enemy army to have a horse team!" It seems that the field battle out of the city decided last time is going to be changed, so it's better to cage the city" After speaking, Tozawa Michimori looked at the three people on the side.

Tozawa Michimori is actually still very talented, but there is one thing that is not good, that is, it is easy to be influenced by other people's opinions.

"My lord, the ashigaru of this family is well-equipped, and the heritage of this family is not comparable to that of a wealthy family like the Tsugawa family, which has risen in a short period of time. Even if the other party has a cavalry team, it is only half a year before the Tsugawa family occupies the main castle, and it is necessary to exclude the time when the winter is not suitable for cavalry training. In this way, it only took 3 or 4 months of training, and in such a short period of time, the Tsukawa family's horseback team could not form much combat effectiveness compared to it! Tozawa replied with a resolute expression.

The flower drum Sheng Qin on the side also echoed: "Yes, besides, the strength of our army is 300 more than that of the Tsugawa family." If you go out of the city to fight, the Tsugawa family will not be able to resist the full force of the family! ”

Sure enough, when he heard what Tozawa Masayasu and Hanabuza Shengqin said, Tozawa Michisheng began to hesitate in his heart. On the one hand, there is Cage Castle, so although it is invincible, even if it holds Komatsuyama Castle, it will not be able to continue to expand the results. On the one hand, it is a field battle out of the city, so that if the Tsukawa family is defeated, you can take advantage of the situation to continue to attack the territory of the Tsukawa family. But there is a certain risk in the field after all, and this is where Tozawa Michimori hesitates.

"My lord, don't be in a hurry. The situation of Yodogawa Castle in the west is still unknown, and if the Tsugawa family is unable to defeat the Tsugawa family once they venture in, then the situation of the Tsugawa family will not be good! Iwai persuaded for a long time.

"This ..........." Tozawa Michimori couldn't pay attention for a while.

That's when it happened

"Report! Yodogawa Castle had been captured by the political leaders of Tozawa, and the head of the Toshima family, Toshima Shigeji, had been captured, and Anton Tsuki fled. Lord Tozawa sent someone to ask for the lord's next battle plan! A Tozawa family's Ashigaru ran in from outside the castle tower and said breathlessly.

"What?" Tozawa Michimori jumped up and said excitedly, "Is the battle in Yodogawa Castle over so soon?" ”

Tozawa Masayasu also said excitedly, "My lord, since the war in Yodogawa Castle in the west has ended, and Yodogawa Castle has been newly brought under the rule of this family. Then we shouldn't be stagnant in Komatsuyama Castle, my lord, please be the pioneer below! Sure to defeat the Tsugawa family in one fell swoop! ”

As if inspired by the victory of Yodogawa Castle, Tozawa Michimori felt a little confident in his heart, and said excitedly: "Okay! Herald. The whole army attacked and set up a formation outside the city. ”

"Hi" Tozawa Masayan and Hanagu Sheng took the order excitedly, and only Tozawa Michimori and Iwai Nagashi were left in the hall.

Iwai plucked up the last courage and said, "My lord, although the strength of the main family is more than that of the Tsugawa family, no one can predict the outcome of the war in advance, so if the battle out of the city does not go well..........."

Before Iwai could finish speaking, Tozawa Michimori interrupted Iwai Higashi, "Enough, Iwai is long!" Are you afraid? ”

"Your Majesty is not afraid. However, if the main family cages the castle, with the solidity of Komatsuyama Castle, the Tsugawa family will never be able to capture Komatsuyama Castle. In this way, when the Tsugawa family is exhausted, they will kill it in one fell swoop, so that they can win in one battle! Iwai said with a resolute face.

"That's enough, do you want to teach His Highness how to use soldiers?"

"Your Majesty Don't Dare"

"Since you don't dare, then go out quickly and gather troops, and later follow His Highness out of the city to face Tsugawa Soji!" Tozawa scolded loudly.

"Hi"
