Half an hour later, on both sides of the Ikuhogawa River, the Tsugawa family and the Spo family had their own formations, but the expected fierce battle did not happen, and the whole air was filled with a strange atmosphere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In the Tsugawa family's main camp, Yoshikawa Hiroya said puzzledly, "Why hasn't the enemy attacked yet?" ”

"I'm quite puzzled below!" Totoki Yoshimori said, "It stands to reason that the Spo family should be in a hurry to attack the main family, but it's been a quarter of an hour, why is there still no movement?" ”

"Could it be that you are afraid of the strength of your own family and dare not attack?" After Saigo Kicho finished speaking, he didn't believe it, and the reason was this.

At this time, Nagano Masabo walked in from the outside and said, "The enemy army has adopted a defensive formation, and the three teams of Ashigaru are distributed in a triangle shape, and there are also two teams of Ashigaru on each side of the Spozentaka main formation, presumably to prevent the horseback team of the family from directly attacking the main formation. ”

"Hmm. After the last battle, the enemy army will no longer directly expose this formation to the front of their own troops. Yoshikawa Hiroke said affirmatively, "The enemy may not attack because there are not enough troops, and they are waiting for reinforcements." ”

"But since the enemy is not in a hurry, then we are not in a hurry, and this is exactly what I want." Anyway, the Yoshikawa Hiroke family and the others were just trying to slow down the speed of the Spo family's attack, so since the Spo family was not in a hurry to attack, it gave the Tsugawa family a chance to breathe.

"The enemy has reinforcements, and we have reinforcements." Totoki Yoshimori said on the side, "If Kuchiki and the others arrive first, we can take the initiative to attack, and then the strength of our family will still have the upper hand for a while." ”

"Hmm. Shizukuishi Castle is also very far away from here, so maybe Kuchiki will arrive one step ahead of the other party. ”

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

On the mountain road leading from Tanuchi Castle to Tazawa Castle, Kuchiki Tsuaki and Kaitaka Yoshima were rapidly marching towards Tazawa Castle with a force of 100 men under their command. After receiving a letter of help from Yoshimori Totoki, Tsuaki Kuchiki and Yoshimasa Kaitaka immediately organized their forces and began to march towards Tazawa Castle.

And on the way from Shizukuishi Castle to Tazawa Castle, Shigehiro Kudo is also moving forward with a team of ashigaru.

After Shigehiro Kudo rushed to Shizukuishi Castle with Ashigaru before, Yoshiji Kazuga was leading an army to attack Shizukuishi Castle, and due to Shigehiro Kudo's timely support, Yoshiji Kazuga had no choice but to withdraw his troops. With the same number of troops, it is undoubtedly very difficult to take a fortified castle like Shizukuishi Castle. At least he knew that he was hopeless.

However, Kazuga Yoshiji did not retreat, and still set up a formation around Shizukuishi Castle. Although he couldn't capture Shizukuishi Castle, he was able to hold back some of the forces of the Spo family, and Yoshiji Kazuga also thought that the purpose of his trip had been achieved.

But then there was a battle in Kamemori City in the east, and after He Yisheng was defeated, He Yi was angry and almost scolded his mother. However, Kazuga Yoshikatsu is also the head of the family, so Kazuga Yoshiji can only obey Kazuga Yoshikatsu's order and urgently return from Shizukuishi Castle to prevent the barnyard family from pursuing and continuing to attack the territory of the Waga family.

Then it was Shigehiro Kudo who reported the situation in the rear at this time to Spo Sentaka, and then Spozentaka ordered Shigehiro Kudo to support Tazawa Castle with troops.

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

At this time, Soji Tsukawa, who had returned to Tsugawa Castle, received an even more speechless message.

"Bastard!" Soji Tsugawa scolded: "It's really too deceitful! Do even forces like the Kameda family dare to bully the family like this? Damn the Yuri Party, they actually took advantage of the fire to rob! What a bunch of bastards! ”

"Lord, fortunately, Yodogawa Castle is guarded by Miki-sama, and there are also Mizutani-sama and Kawakami-sama defending it to the west, and the Kameda family and the Yuri Party can't help their own family for a while!" Takahashi Xingjia comforted.

It turned out that just now, Tsugawa Soji received a message from someone sent by Mizutani Hisaharu: the neighbors to the west of the Tsugawa family, the Yuri family, the Akao Tsu family, and the Iwaya family, together with the Kameda family, sent 600 troops to attack Uemaeda Castle and Yodogawa Castle respectively. Fortunately, Naogo Miki of Yodogawa Castle and Tadakei Kawakami of Uemaeda Castle reacted quickly, and the situation was brought under control.

"What exactly is Togo Yoshisuke doing in Minatojo? The Andong family has a close relationship with the Yuri Party, and sends a letter to Togo Yoshiyu, asking him to negotiate with the Andong family and let the Andong family mediate. Now that the Spo family in the north has hit the doorstep, it is hard to repel the Onodera family, and the Yuri party has come again, which is really hateful! Soji Tsugawa said indignantly.

"Lord, I'm afraid Lord Dongxiang is still on his way to Minato City at this time." Takahashi said, "And although the Yuri Party has a close relationship with the Anton family, it may not necessarily listen to the mediation of the Anton family, so we can't pin our hopes on the Anton family, in the end, we still have to rely on ourselves!" ”

"Hmm!" Tsugawa Soji nodded and said approvingly, "The order is for Mizutani Hisaharu to march to Kamimada Castle, and another army will be assigned to support Yodogawa Castle." ”

"Hah!"

"Fortunately, there are also disputes within the Yuri Party, otherwise if the Yuri Party unites now to attack the family, I am afraid that things will be difficult to do." Soji Tsugawa said with palpitations.

"Made, after this incident is over, we must clean up this group of miscellaneous fish, otherwise it will be a trouble." Tsugawa Soji has already sentenced the Yuri Party to death in his heart, "Especially the Kameda family, the last time they fought with the Tozawa family, they didn't contribute to work, and this time they dared to openly provoke the family, Lao Tzu must let him know that some people can't be provoked casually!" ”

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

"It's dark, and the Spo family still hasn't moved!" In the main camp of the Ikuhogawa Tsugawa family, Nagano Masabo couldn't hold back his voice.

Yoshikawa Hiroya shook his head and said, "Lord Nagano, you have to hold your breath, even if the Spo family doesn't attack today, they will attack tomorrow." All we have to do is recharge our energy and be ready for the next battle. ”

"The current situation of my family is not optimistic, everything must be cautious!"

"Yes!" Nagano Masafang said helplessly.

"Lord Totoki, it's getting late, and although the enemy is not attacking today, we can't take it lightly at night. Arrange more vigils for Ashigaru, and beware of the night raids of the Spo family. Yoshikawa Hiroke advised.

"Hah!"

"Report! Tanuchi Castle Kuchi-sama and Hailong-sama have arrived! ”

"Good! , now everything is ready, just wait for tomorrow the enemy's attack. ”

On the other side of the river, in the main camp of the Spo family, Spo Sengo said to the tired Kudo Shigehiro, "It's good to come, I'm waiting for you now!" ”

"Hah! Lord, it seems that the enemy army has also arrived with reinforcements, and his subordinates found a Tsugawa family in the distance on the way here. Shigehiro Kudo said.

Spo Quangao was surprised and said, "Reinforcements? The one who arrived at this time is still coming from the same direction as you, it should be from the direction of Gu Nei Castle, have you ever seen the number of people? ”

"It's getting late, and I can't see clearly. It's just that judging by the number of torches, there shouldn't be a lot of enemy troops! Shigehiro Kudo hurriedly replied.

"Hmm!" Spoo nodded his head, "Tell the Ashigaru to rest well and attack early tomorrow morning!" ”

"Yes!" (To be continued.) )
