Escape!

At the moment when Shinyuki Hosokawa turned to leave, Miyoshi Nagakei's heart had already made a decision.

Akutagawa Mountain Castle to the north of Ibaraki Castle, where there are more than 1,000 troops of Miyoshi Yasunaga, although it is not much, but it should be no problem to save his life with Akutagawa Mountain Castle. The most important thing is that the Imagawa family is already on the way to Shangluo, as long as he can drag his life to the Imagawa family, then there is still hope for everything.

Ordered someone to dress himself well, Miyoshi Changqing immediately mobilized the flag team and began to retreat towards Akutagawa Mountain City, as for the strength of the Miyoshi family on the battlefield, everyone will ask for more blessings!

......

On the path leading from Ibaraki Castle to Akutagawa Mountain Castle, a force of about 1,000 people is slowly advancing along the path towards Akutagawa Mountain Castle.

How is it possible, this is the family crest of the Dewa Hanhee family.

Hanhejiang (Takagi) Yishi's mood at the moment is very complicated, since he inherited the family name from Hanhejiang's family, Hanhejiang Yishi's heart is still the sweetheart of Anfang, Ah Xiu, who is far away.

If you want to have Axiu, according to the bad idea that Takigawa Kazuki gave to Hanhe Eyoshi, Hankawa Eyoshi must make a name for himself in the Tsugawa family, and at least obtain the status of the head of the outsider.

And if you want to get ahead in the Tsugawa family, either you have outstanding ability and are valued by Tsugawa Soji, or you have made achievements on the battlefield.

Like a samurai with outstanding martial arts like Hanhe Jiangyishi, the natural battlefield is the best place to obtain meritorious service, and this time Hanhe Jiangyishi also participated in the battle as one of the commanders of the legion, but unfortunately he has not made any decent contributions.

Ibaraki Castle battled, and five legions including Kankawa Eyoshitoki were sent by Tsugawa Soji to surprise attack the Miyoshi family's main camp, which made Takagi Yoshitoki's mind begin to liven.

In the Tsugawa family, the first merit of the joint battle is the head of the local general, so Hanhe Jiangyi set the goal on Miyoshi Changqing.

"My lord, this road is the road to Akutagawa Mountain Castle, Tozawa Hida Moriden has already led a team to march towards the Miyoshi family's main camp, even if we capture Akutagawa Mountain Castle, but it is useless for the battle situation." On the side of Hanhee Eyoshitoki, Iinoyama Toshigeru spoke.

Hanhe Jiangyi looked at the surrounding terrain from time to time, and then replied, "Miyoshi Changqing is not so easy to grasp, as the head of the Miyoshi family, it is impossible for Miyoshi Changqing to sit still in this formation." ”

"The family thinks that Miyoshi Chokei will definitely retreat when he hears that Takatsuki Castle has fallen and the surprise attack team is marching towards the main camp. And around Ibaraki Castle, except for Akutagawa Mountain Castle, there is no other place that can accommodate Miyoshi Chokei. ”

"This is it!" As he spoke, Hanhe Jiang Yoshitoki pointed to the small hillside on both sides of the trail and said, "Tell the ashigaru to ambush the back of the hillside, listen to my orders, and no one shall expose the target, let alone make a loud noise!" ”

"Hah!"

"It's just that the order of the main hall is a surprise attack on the main formation of the Miyoshi family, and the main family acts without authorization, if the main hall is to blame........."

"This family naturally bears it, and as long as we catch the three good Changqing, we will be meritorious!" Hanhe Jiang Yishi half-squinted, and Ah Xiu's face appeared in his mind again, and he resolutely had an expression of "essence worm on the brain"....

......

The battlefield of Ibaraki Castle.

There is no possibility of a turnaround for Miyoshi.

When the forces of the Tsugawa family surrounded them from all directions, the defeated soldiers of the Miyoshi family surrendered and surrendered, and fled for their lives, except for a few diehards who were still resisting stubbornly, there was no longer a Miyoshi family with weapons on the battlefield.

The musket team in the mountain valley is already starting to clean up the battlefield, the heads of Tokawa Ichiku and Matsunaga Shu are waiting to be identified, and the whereabouts of Araki Murashige, Miyoshi Masayasu and others are unknown, and the battle seems to be over here.

Soji Tsugawa rode Feihong Treading Snow and went straight through the battlefield under the protection of the flag team and came to the outside of Ibaraki Castle.

Tozawa Morian and the others had been waiting here for a long time, and after seeing Tsugawa Soji, they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "I've seen the lord!" ”

"Hida Mamoru has caught Miyoshi Changqing?" As soon as Soji Tsugawa came, he asked the question he was most concerned about.

Tozawa Shengan shook his head in disappointment, "I'm ashamed, when I arrived at Miyoshi's main camp, this place was already empty, and Miyoshi Changqing was nowhere to be found. ”

"Humph! These three good Changqing are running fast enough! Soji Tsugawa shook his head helplessly, and was about to say something more, when a fast horse rushed over from the north.

When the horse approached, a samurai immediately turned over and dismounted, and saluted at Tsugawa Soji is salute, "The main hall, in the lower Hanhejiang retainer Inoue Masaji, the lord of the family has captured Miyoshi Changqing, please send the main hall!"

"Izumi Mamoru caught Miyoshi Chokei? Is this true? Soji Tsugawa looked at Inoue Masatsugu with a look of surprise.

Inoue Masatsugu nodded, "The lord of the family was worried that Miyoshi Nagakei would escape, so he laid an ambush on both sides of the road leading to Akutagawa Mountain Castle in advance. Half an hour ago, Sanhao Changqing passed by with a team of troops, and was caught by his family! ”

"Well done!"

Tsugawa Soji clapped his hands, and then laughed loudly, "It is worthy of Izumi Mamoru, the first merit of this battle belongs to the Hanhe Jiang family!" ”

"After this battle, the nearest few places belong to my Tsugawa family!"

The Battle of Ibaraki Castle has eliminated the vast majority of the Miyoshi family's forces, and now they have captured Miyoshi Chokei, so it can be said that the entire Miyoshi family is now about to be destroyed.

However, Tsugawa Soji couldn't completely relax at this time, because in Omi, there was still the threat of Imagawa Yoshimoto that had not been cleared......

......

Omi, Kannonji Castle.

Imagawa Yoshimoto was also very angry in his heart, and when he passed through Mikawa, Owari, Mino and other places, the wealthy families in various places could be said to have fallen from the wind, and the Imagawa family did not spend much effort to kill Omi in one fell swoop.

The Omi Rokkaku family and the Asai family had just experienced a major defeat before, the head of the Asai family, Asai Hisasa, begged for death, and the head of the Rokkaku family, Rokkaku Yoshiken, was still besieged in Maki Island Castle, and he thought that he had been unimpeded all the way to Omi, but he encountered stubborn sniping in Kannonji Castle.

"My lord, it has been found out that the strength of the troops in the castle of Guanyin Temple is the combined army of the Asai family and the Asakura family, and the number is about 3,000 people." In the Imagawa family's main camp, Iio Renlong told this newly obtained information.

"The three thousand defeated soldiers of the Asai family and the Asakura family dare to use their arms as a car, it's really beyond their strength!" Okabe Motonobu, the general of the Imagawa family, stood up at the moment, "My lord, I am willing to lead the team to attack the city, and I will definitely capture the Kannonji Castle within three days!" ”

"My lord, the Asahina family is also willing to share the worries of the main family!" Not to be outdone, Asahinai Taichao stood up.

Imagawa Yoshimoto nodded with satisfaction, and then set his eyes on the outermost samurai of the main formation, "Mamoru Mikawa, are you confident that you will capture Kannonji Castle?" ”

Matsudaira Motonobu, who was called by name, was bowing his head and whispering to Oda Nobunaga beside him, and after hearing Imagawa Yoshimoto's words, he reflexively replied, "I wish to die for the Lord!" ”

However, after saying this, Matsudaira Motonobu reacted suddenly, what did Imagawa Yoshimoto say just now?
