Chapter 278: Surprise Attack

The Tsukawa family, which had already decided to continue to serve the Onodera family, still did not move during the day today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, on the north side of the hillside where the Tsugawa family's main camp is located, a force of about 100 people is urgently mobilized.

These people were all personally selected by Nobi Nobita, and although he was a little puzzled by Tsugawa Soji's request, Nobita still selected 100 ashigaru who could swim according to Tsugawa Soji's request.

It was fast into night, and night fell as the sun disappeared over the horizon.

At the wooden bridge outside Omori Castle, Yukichi Nittame and Michikyo Matsuoka had just taken over the defense of the wooden bridge from Hachibai Michido and Dohi Michi, and the two were sitting cross-legged in the tent next to the wooden bridge with dinner.

"Lord Shin Tianmu, I think the lord is too worried, how can the Tsugawa family be suddenly attacked? There was no movement at all last night, and the same is true during the day today, where the wooden bridge is so conducive to the defense of the family, how can the Tsugawa family dare to come again after suffering a loss? Matsuoka Michikei ate a rice ball in one bite and said as he chewed.

Yukichi Nittame on the side shook his head and said, "Lord Matsuoka, although the Tsugawa family did not launch an offensive last night or during the day today, we still can't relax. Now is the critical moment for our family, and we can't let the Tsugawa family have a chance to take advantage of our carelessness! ”

"Well, I'm just talking casually, whining, Lord Xintianmu doesn't need to be surprised!" Matsuoka Michikage said with a smile. In fact, Matsuoka Michijing was still a little disapproving, last night Matsuoka Michijing kept vigil until midnight, and the Tsugawa family did not move at all. This made Matsuoka Michikage very irritable, and the thought of repeating last night's stay up tonight made Matsuoka Michikage feel very uncomfortable.

Just as the two of them calmed down and concentrated on eating, there was a sudden shout of killing outside.

Matsuoka Michikage and Nittame Yukichi's faces changed, and they said loudly, "Not good! The Tsugawa family has attacked! ”

"Quick, organize the Ashigaru defense!" Nittame Yukichi quickly dropped the rice ball in his hand, picked up the knife on the side and walked out of the camp, and Matsuoka Michikage quickly got up and walked out.

"Assemble everyone! Get ready for battle! "Rushing to the camp, Nittame Yukichi loudly commanded the Ashigaru of the Onodera family to start defending, and the Ashigaru of the Onodera family, which was the first to discover the enemy's situation on the wooden bridge, had already exchanged hands with the people of the Tsugawa family.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, and the fact that the Onodera family's Ashigaru was still eating, the Onodera family's defense was a little lax, so the Tsugawa family's people quickly reached the bridge.

Fortunately, Yukichi Nittame and Michikyo Matsuoka arrived in time with Ashigaru, and they were able to block the attack of the Tsugawa family.

"Block them, don't let the people of the Tsugawa family rush over!" Yukichi Nittame yelled loudly.

For a while, the front and back of the wooden bridge were densely packed with the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family and the Onodera family, and the battle was fierce.

The narrowness of the wooden bridge and the ease of defense and difficulty in attacking were fully reflected at this time, even if the people of the Tsugawa family suddenly attacked at night, but the people of the Onodera family easily blocked the attack.

Tonight's night attack was led by Totoki Yoshimori and Tozawa Moriyoshi's troops, the number of which was about 200 people, and the two of them were just ordinary ashigaru of the Tsugawa family, far inferior to the five-color elite led by Mizutani Hisaharu and others last time, so there was no way to take the wooden bridge.

However, Totoki Yoshimori and Tozawa Moriyoshi did not feel anxious, on the contrary, the two were still very relaxed, and they looked indifferent to the unfavorable occupation, in fact, the two of them were still very excited. Because before the attack, Tsugawa Soji had personally explained the next battle arrangements to the two, and for Tsugawa Soji's battle plan, Totoki Yoshimori and Tozawa Moriyoshi admired it in their hearts.

"Lord Toshi, such a plan is worthy of the lord, and only the lord can think of such a peculiar plan!" Tozawa Moriyoshi said with a smile to Totoki Yoshimori beside him.

Toshi Yoshimori also nodded, and replied approvingly, "The lord's plan is far from what we can predict. It's almost time, so let's call the ashigaru people to withdraw! ”

"Good!" Ichiro Yamamoto nodded, and then shouted loudly to the Tsugawa iezu in front of him, "Retreat!" Remove! ”

"Withdraw!" For a while, the Tsugawa family on the wooden bridge quickly evacuated backwards, leaving the Onodera family's Ashigaru staring at him with a confused face, completely unclear about the situation.

Matsuoka Michikage said to Shittamme Yukichi with a questioning face, "Lord Shintenmu, the people of the Tsugawa family withdrew so quickly?" ”

"It's really a little strange, the battle has just started, and the people of the Tsugawa family have withdrawn! Beware that this is a trick of the enemy, and order the ashigaru not to let their guard down and keep a close eye on the situation on the other side of the wooden bridge. Nittame Yukichi said with a solemn face.

"Hmm!" Matsuoka Michikage nodded, and then shouted at the ashigaru around the wooden bridge, "Arrange your formation, ready to fight!" ”

"Hah!"

Although the people of the Tsugawa family were evacuated, the people of the Onodera family did not dare to relax in the slightest, for fear that this was the strategy of the Tsugawa family. Otherwise, if he and the others let down their vigilance, and the people of the Tsugawa family attacked again, it would be very passive.

However, an hour passed, and there was no one on the other side of the river.

A lot of ashigaru nerves were tense for an hour, physically and mentally exhausted, and the queue at the Onodera family was a little messy.

Matsuoka Michikage said indignantly: "What is the Tsugawa family? Shall we have fun? ”

"Just come and shoot it and it's over? Exactly the abominable! Matsuoka Michikage gritted his teeth and said unwillingly.

Nittame Yukichi looked at the calm wooden bridge with a solemn face, and said slowly, "The Tsugawa family's move is quite strange, I'm afraid it's the enemy's strategy!" ”

"The fart strategy, it's been an hour, and there's no movement at all! The people of the Tsugawa family have gone back to sleep, and we are still standing here stupidly! You see that the ashigaru people are almost unable to hold on, so let's disband! Matsuoka Michikage said with a dissatisfied face.

Nittame Yukichi shook his head and said, "You can't relax, in case it's really the Tsugawa family's strategy, it's going to be troublesome!" ”

"Humph!" Matsuoka Michikage snorted unhappily, and then said, "Since Lord Nittame is so worried, then you can wait here with your people, and I won't accompany you!" ”

"Let's go back and rest!" Matsuoka Michikage yelled at the troops under his command, and then left without looking back.

Nittame Yukichi's face changed, "Matsuoka-sama, you ........", but Matsuoka Michijing did not pay attention to Nittame Yukichi, and resolutely returned to the camp. As soon as Matsuoka Michikage left, the ashigaru under Matsuoka Michikage at the head of the bridge also left after him, and suddenly only Ashigaru under Nittame Yukichi was left around the wooden bridge.

Looking at the back of Matsuoka Michikage's departure, Nittame Yukichi secretly cursed a fool in his heart, and then turned to the tired Ashigaru behind him and said, "Don't relax, everyone, cheer up!" ”

"It's ........" responded to Yukichi Nittame, and it was the weak voice behind him.
