In the Tsugawa family's main camp, Soji Tsugawa and the others had just finished their meal and were discussing the battle plan for the next day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Before Soji Tsugawa could speak, a samurai panicked and broke into the main camp.

"Lord, it's not good!" The samurai was shocked and said, "The Anton family has launched a surprise attack on the camp at the north gate of the family at night!" ”

"What?" The retainers in this formation exclaimed one after another.

Soji Tsugawa asked without changing his face, "How many enemy troops are there?" Who is leading the group? ”

The samurai hurriedly replied, "I can't see the number of the other party's ashigaru at night, but there are at least hundreds of people listening to the voice. As for the person who led the team, it seems that it is the head of the Toshima family, Toshima Shigemasa. ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded, stood up and said, "The Anto family has less than 700 people in the city, and I guess that the Toshima Shigema team that attacked the main family is at most one or two hundred people. There are hundreds of people in the north gate, and even if they are attacked, they can still hold out in a short time. ”

"Shuichiro Yagyu!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly at this time.

"In!" Shuichiro Yagyu on the side hurriedly reacted and replied loudly.

Soji Tsugawa continued, "You immediately take your troops to the north gate to support. ”

"Hah!"

"Tozawa Moritsuna, Tozawa Masashige, Takahashi Kokoku, the three of you follow Shuichiro Yagyu, control the situation, and don't let Ashigaru collapse." Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hah!"

After Shuichiro Yagyu and the others left the main camp, Soji Tsugawa calmly thought about it again and again, and then said, "Since the enemy dares to launch a surprise attack, then we must be well prepared, and we must not act blindly. ”

"Everyone go back and get ready, take strict precautions!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"Hah!"

Let Anton's family intervene this time, and this military conference will obviously not be able to continue. The retainers returned one after another to guard against any movement of the Anton family.

At this time, outside the north gate of Minato Castle, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru and Toshima Shigemasa were fighting fiercely. The morale of the Toshima Shigemasa team was like a rainbow, while the morale of the Tsugawa family was low. Most of the Tsugawa family ashigaru at the North Gate were standing ashigaru and peasant soldiers who had only been trained for half a year, and they lacked combat experience and were unprepared to deal with the enemy's night attacks, and they were pressed and beaten by the Toshima Shigemasa team for a while.

Even though Kitaro and other samurai bravely resisted the attack of the Toshima Shigemasa army with Ashigaru, they still had little effect.

Many peasant soldiers even fled directly, seeing that the situation was almost out of control, Kitaro gritted his teeth and shouted violently, "Form a formation, spear forward, stab!" ”

This is a common password for training ashigaru in the Tsugawa family, and ashigaru people still know it very well. Hearing this familiar password, many Tsugawa family ashigaru naturally began to follow Kitaro's orders.

Ashigaru in the first row raised his spear flat and began to thrust rhythmically.

Originally, at this time, Ashigaru's combat method should have been slapped with three guns. However, the Tsukawa family's ashigaru training is to make the ashigaru thrust in the first row, and the ashigaru after the second row is beaten.

Through actual combat, it has been proved that such a combat method is more conducive to disrupting the enemy's formation.

Sure enough, the Ashigaru of the Toshima Shigemasa team didn't have time to react at all, and several Ashigaru were immediately stabbed to the ground.

In the face of Tsugawa Ieashigaru's sharp counterattack, the offensive of the Toshima Shigemasa team was finally blocked. Seeing that the attack worked, Kitaro hurriedly continued to shout, "Ashigaru presses, the archer throws!" ”

The archers of the two squads in the rear hurriedly bent their bows and began to throw arrows in front of them, and there was a commotion in the ashigaru of the Toshima Shigemasa team.

Shigemasa Toshima, who was in the center of the army, had already begun to organize an effective counterattack from the Tsugawa family, knowing that he would not be able to achieve any more results with his own strength, so he shouted loudly at the ashigaru beside him, "Retreat!" ”

Receiving an order from Toshima Shigemasa, the Ashigaru of the Toshima Shigemasa team began to retreat in an orderly manner. Seeing that the enemy army had begun to retreat, Kitaro and the others did not dare to pursue, so they hurriedly gathered the nearby ashigaru.

At this time, Yagyu Shuiichiro and others also arrived, but unfortunately the Toshima Shigemasa team had already withdrawn.

"Takahashi-sama!" After seeing Takahashi Xingguo, Kitaro hurriedly came to Takahashi Xingguo's side and said loudly.

Takahashi Kokoku said to Kitaro with a solemn face, "Kitaro, how is the situation?" ”

Kitaro hurriedly replied, "Lord Takahashi, fortunately, the enemy army has withdrawn to Minato Castle in time to return the attack. ”

Takahashi Xingguo breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Quickly put away the ashigaru, count the casualties, and properly place the injured ashigaru." ”

After speaking, Takahashi Kokoku turned his head to Shuichiro Yagyu and said, "Lord Yagyu, I bother you to help keep guard." ”

Shuichiro Yagyu nodded and replied, "Hah! ”

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

Early the next morning, Soji Tsugawa got up early in the morning and asked all the retainers to be called to the main camp.

After everyone sat down, Tsugawa Soji immediately asked Takahashi Kokoku and Tozawa Masashige and others about the casualties last night.

Takahashi Kokuni and Tozawa Masashige glanced at each other, and then said in disappointment, "My lord, last night it was the subordinates who neglected to defend, which caused the enemy's surprise attack to succeed, and I ask the lord to punish him." ”

"The punishment must be punished, but first, let's talk about the casualties of the light ashi." Soji Tsugawa said calmly.

"Yes!" Takahashi Xingguo hurriedly replied, "In the battle last night, my family lost a total of 9 permanent ashigaru people, 23 peasant soldiers, 34 seriously wounded, and 11 lightly wounded. In addition, 17 peasant soldiers fled. ”

"Humph!" Tsugawa Soji snorted coldly and said angrily, "In this way, the family lost almost 100 people last night." ”

"This incident also reminded the family! Fighting a war is not a child's play, and I have repeatedly stressed that every time we fight, we must take strict precautions, patrols! Night Watch! These have to be laid out. Soji Tsugawa said loudly, "You say, if there are enough ashigaru in Minato Castle, what if you attack Honjin last night?" If that's the case, you should collect my body now! ”

Listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, the retainers in the tent lowered their heads one after another.

The recent wars of the Tsugawa family have been too smooth, and in the past few years since Tsugawa Soji succeeded to the throne, the Tsugawa family has won every battle without a single defeat. The retainers are more or less arrogant, and now that Tsugawa Soji said this, many retainers' faces are full of shame.

Tsugawa Soji looked at the retainers around him with their heads bowed, and the anger in his heart decreased slightly.

"Come on, drag Takahashi Xingguo, Tozawa Masashige, and Tozawa Moritsuna out for me!" Soji Tsugawa said with a feigned anger.

The retainers in the tent were shocked when they heard this, and Takahashi Xingjia knelt directly on the ground, "Lord, although the three adults were indeed derelict in their duties last night, fortunately, the situation has not deteriorated, and I hope that the lord will spare the three adults." ”

"Yes, my lord." Wise Guangjiu on the side also spoke, "Today's war is imminent, and it is not appropriate to kill the general." ”

"Lord!" The rest of the retainers also looked at Tsugawa Soji pleadingly.

Of course, Soji Tsukawa didn't really want to kill Takahashi Xingguo and others, but just a wake-up call for them.

"Takahashi Kokoku, Tozawa Masashige, Tozawa Moritsuna, the three of you were not in the camp last night, but the three of you, as the commanders of the army, naturally have to be fully prepared. Thinking that you are a first-time offender, each person knows how to reduce the seal by 100 stones, can you still be convinced? Soji Tsugawa said in a muffled voice.

".......Huh" Takahashi Xingguo and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they only reduced the seal by 100 Shi Zhixing, but fortunately, their lives were saved.

"Thank you, my lord!" Takahashi Xingguo and the others survived the catastrophe, and hurriedly said gratefully.

Soji Tsugawa said loudly, "Last night, I don't like it to happen in the future, otherwise don't blame me for not being emotional!" ”

"Hah!"
