12th November of the 14th year of the Astronomical Year (1545).

The Tsugawa family in Taneji Castle has already assembled their forces and began to march towards Hachinohe Castle.

Yoshikawa Hiroie walked in the middle of the line, with the forces of Johoji Shigemasa and Fuji Masahide at the front, and the rear army was the team of Takeda Nobuyuki and Yukihide Hazu, while Yoshikawa Hiroie and Kenjiro Torima were in the center.

"Yoshikawa-sama, the envoy sent by the main family yesterday has already arrived outside Hachinohe Castle. However, there were nine families outside the castle, and in order to avoid being discovered by the enemy, the envoys of the main family could only shoot the lord's surgery into the castle with bows and arrows. Kenjiro Torima said slowly beside Hiroya Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa Hiroke nodded, "No matter what, this battle must be resolved quickly!" Otherwise, after winter, the snow will cover the mountain, and even we will have to be trapped here. With more than 1,000 troops, I think Mitsunohe Haruma can't afford it, so I must solve the nine Nobunaka before winter! No matter how bad it is, it will hurt the nine Nobunaka! ”

"Hah!"

"The whole army will speed up, target Hachinohe City, and advance at full speed!"

.............

At noon, the sun rises high, bringing warmth to the ashigaru people in and around Hachinohe Castle.

Cheng Shouxin Yin walked out of the camp tent, and took four or five ashigaru around the camp of nine households, for some reason, Cheng Shouxin Yin always felt that something bad would happen today.

Hachinohe Castle, also known as Nejo Castle, is a mountain castle built along Mt. Nakane, and can only be attacked from three directions: east, west, and south. In addition to the four families and one family that had arrays on the east and west sides of Hachinohe Castle, Castle Nobu Yin's forces were located south of Hachinohe Castle and were arrayed along the Koganegawa River.

The Koganese River is just a small river, or even a small stream, and the surface of the river has begun to show signs of freezing. Cheng Shouxin Yin sent a few flags and came to Xiaojinchuan casually and sat on the ground in a daze.

Since yesterday when Nobunaka Kunohe gave the order to stop the siege, he hasn't launched another offensive against Hachinohe Castle all day today, and the castle is still a little uncomfortable.

Suddenly, Cheng Shouxin Yin, who was sitting on the ground, felt that the ground under him was shaking slightly, and at first Cheng Shouxin Yin was still a little confused, but then Cheng Shouxin Yin found that on the hillside in the distance, there was a black oppression, and it was all human!

"Not good!" Obviously, this sudden appearance of the army must be a bad comer. The strength of the Kunohe family is almost pouring out, and it is impossible for there to be so many troops in the Kuran and Kita guns, so there is only one possibility left, either the forces of the Oura family in Tsugaru County or the Tsugawa family!

"If the strength of the Daura family should also come from behind the main family, this army is coming from the south, and it must be from the direction of Suiyi County! From this point of view, there is no doubt that it is the Tsugawa family! Cheng Shouxin Yin quickly guessed the identity of this sudden army.

"I need to report to the lord quickly!" Cheng Shouxin Yin immediately threw up his legs and ran in the direction of the main formation of the nine households.

The main camp of the nine families was located three miles northwest of Hachinohe Castle, and the castle Nobu Yin arrived at the main camp in a short time on a horse that he had taken from a banner on the way.

As soon as he entered the main formation, Kunohe Nobunaka was laughing and talking with Ishiki Nobubo and the others, with an indescribable smile on his face.

Seeing that the city shou xin yin ran in in a hurry, the nine households shinaka also quickly stopped talking, looked at the city shou xin yin and said, "What's the matter, isn't there something wrong with the eight households?" ”

Cheng Shouxin Yin hurriedly said with an eager face: "Lord! When Shicai was patrolling the camp, he suddenly saw a large number of troops in the southeast direction, and guessed that it was the strength of the Tsugawa family, so he came to report to the lord! ”

"What!"

"The strength of the Tsugawa family!"

The words of the castle shouxin Yin exploded like a thunderbolt in the hearts of Nobunaka Kunohe and the others, and the atmosphere that had just been idle suddenly disappeared.

"How could the Tsugawa family's forces appear outside Hachinohe Castle? Could it be ..........." Suddenly, Nobunaka Kunohe had a bad premonition in his heart, and immediately ran outside without looking back, shouting as he ran, "Order the whole army to fight, and all the troops outside Hachinohe City immediately withdraw to their own camp to defend!" ”

Nobunaka Kunohe panicked all of a sudden!

Seeing that Hachinohe Castle was about to be trapped by himself, he didn't expect the Tsugawa family to suddenly pop out, which is not good news! There is no doubt about the strength of the Tsugawa family, and not only will the eight households not be able to capture it this time, but even the nine families themselves will be unable to protect themselves.

And in this formation, after the nine nobunaka left, the castle keeper Shin Yin also quickly ran out. The strength of the troops under the command of Castle Nobu Yin is the closest to the Tsugawa family, and if the Tsugawa family attacks the nine families, he will bear the brunt of it, so Castle Shonobu Yin can't wait to go back and organize Ashigaru to prepare for defense.

And when everyone gradually walked out of the main formation, the stone turtle letter house was still sitting in the main formation with blank eyes, and muttered in his mouth, "Tsugawa family? The Tsugawa family is here again? The Tsugawa family is here again? ”

No one can know what kind of shadow the Tsugawa family left in the heart of the stone turtle letter room on the night outside the castle.

The stone turtle letter room can now be said to smell "Jinchuan" and change color, avoiding it like a snake and scorpion, it is simply the same feeling as the disobedient son who looks back at his father standing behind him after an all-night Internet café, boundless collapse...........

It wasn't until a long time later that the stone turtle letter house slowly stood up from the ground, staggered out of the main formation, and said as he walked, "The Tsugawa family is here, it's better to run quickly, otherwise you won't be able to run away!" As he spoke, the stone turtle letter house gradually quickened his pace and ran towards his camp.

Half an hour later, Kunohe Nobunaka and the others had assembled their troops, and Kunohe Nobunaka was just about to say something to boost morale, but he looked left and right, and found that the stone turtle Shinbo was gone, "Where is the Shinbo Palace?" ”

After a long time, no one answered, and Nobunaka Kunohe was also anxious. There are three or four hundred troops under the command of the Stone Turtle Nobufang, which is an important part of this attack on Hachinohe City, and now that the Stone Turtle Nobufang is gone, the strength of the Ishiba family has disappeared without a trace, which makes the Nine Households Nobunaka feel anxious.

At this time, a flag book quickly ran to the side of Nobunaka of Kuhe, and said excitedly, "Lord, it's not good!" The Stone Turtle Shinfang escaped with the strength of the Stone Turtle family! ”

"What!" Nobunaka Kuho looked at Ashigaru in front of him dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to say for a long time.

And because Qimoto's voice was a little loud, many nearby Ashigaru also heard the news. Seeing that a samurai and hundreds of ashigaru ran away before the war started, the ashigaru people present began to lose confidence in their hearts.

At this time, the strength of the Tsugawa family is gradually approaching the strength of the Kunohe family! When they saw the fluttering bellflower lines, the soldiers of the nine families suddenly boiled!

"Oh my God! Are we going to fight the Tsugawa family? ”

"How is it possible, the strength of the Tsugawa family? Isn't this sending us to death? ”

"I narrowly escaped my life last time in Zibo County, who knows if I will die here this time!"

In an instant, more than half of the nine families had already retreated. And the rest of the ashigaru is mostly the "budding new" who has not been educated by the Tsugawa family, and is looking at the frightened companions around him with disdain.

"Humph! There are only more than 1,000 people on the other side, about the same number as us, what are you afraid of! Many "budding new" people think of it lightly.
