Chapter 974: The Battle of Tateyama Castle (Part I)

Ashina Sheng feels that he is very bad, how to do it specifically, and he is not embarrassed by the number of words.

Anyway, Ashina Mori felt that in addition to wanting to die, he only wanted to kill.

Before thinking about it, how strong the Ashina coalition army was, how strong the prestige of the Ashina family was, how did it become this ghost in a blink of an eye?

His most trusted retainer, Jin Shang Shengbei, who was born as his own small surname, actually turned his back on him. If it is said that Jin Shang Shengbei was surrounded by the Nagao family, and after the battle, he surrendered to the Ashina Mori clan and thought about the past, the key is that he directly surrendered in Kaicheng, so how dare the Ashina Mori clan believe it?

Immediately afterwards, Yonezawa Castle was also defeated. Ito Yushige and Nikaido Teruyuki were actually defeated by the main force of the Tsugawa family in one fell swoop, which disrupted the plan of the Ashina Mori clan at once.

......

Outside Tateyama Castle, Soma Shengyin also felt a little strange, because it was completely different from the expected "siege battle", Tateyama Castle was unusually quiet, and it didn't look like it was being attacked at all.

And the strength of the Tsugawa family was not seen by a single figure, and for a moment, Soma Shengyin felt that he was not going to fight, but to hunt.

"My lord, Guanshan Castle is open!" At this time, a retainer beside Soma Shengyin pointed to Tateyama Castle not far away.

Soma Moriyin half-squinted, pointed in the direction of Tateyama Castle and said, "Ise, the family always feels that something is not right, what do you think?" ”

Sato Ise Mamoru Yoshinobu also nodded, "It's too quiet here. The information we received earlier was that thousands of troops from the Tsugawa family were attacking Tateyama Castle, but judging from the current situation in Tateyama Castle, there was no sign of a battle breaking out at all! ”

The Sato clan has been a retainer of the Iwaki family since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and Sato Yoshinobu is the son of Sato Morinobu, a retainer of the Iwaki family. However, during the Astronomical Year, Yoshinobu Sato ran out of the Iwaki family to become a Soma Xianyin, and his outstanding performance in the Astronomical Rebellion was gradually reused.

After the death of Soma Moriyin, Sato Yoshinobu became the right-hand man of the new successor to the throne, and served as the "military commissioner", and was deeply trusted by Soma Moriyin.

"What's going on?" Soma Shengyin was also a little uncertain.

Yoshinobu Sato has good eyesight, has a good bow technique, and can often shoot down birds, and is named "Asuka Fall" by his retainers. While staring at Tateyama Castle, Sato Yoshinobu was not idle, and his eyes began to scan other places, and when Sato Yoshinobu's gaze fell on Mt. Tazawa in the southwest of Tateyama Castle, his eyes widened suddenly.

"My lord, there seems to be a flag flashing in the dense forest in the direction of Tian Zeshan. There are frightened birds flying over the dense forest, and it looks like there must be a lot of people hiding in it. The gate of Kanyama Castle is wide open, will the family go in or not? Sato Yoshinobu urged with an anxious expression.

It's meaningless.,The only thing nearby that can provide protection for the Soma family is Tateyama Castle.,If there is really an ambush in the direction of Mt. Tazawa.,Then the Soma family has only one way into the city.。

At this time, the two people sent by the Ashina Mori clan to Soma Moriyin, Hirata Shunfan and Sase Nakatsune, also rode horses to Soma Moriyin's side.

"Soma Temple, why are you stagnating?" Hirata Shunfan is very stylish and wears a bright red armor, and the pocket is also a very sao bag.

Yoshinobu Sato hurriedly took over the conversation, "Lord Hirata, Tateyama Castle is too quiet, and there is a suspicion that there are ambushes from the Tsugawa family here, and I am discussing with the lord whether to enter Tateyama Castle. ”

"So did you negotiate the results?" Nakatsu Sase was getting a little impatient.

Originally, it was drudgery to follow Soma Shengyin to Tateyama Castle, and the cold wind outside was blowing again, and Sase Nakatsu just wanted to enter Tateyama Castle early to warm up. As a result, what kind of moth did the Soma family have, quiet? Isn't it good to be quiet? Does it have to be normal for the Tsugawa family to attack the city, and then it is normal for himself and others to risk the danger to kill it?

At the same time, on Tazawa Mountain, southwest of Tateyama Castle, Yoshiaki Kamiyama was also nervously looking at the Soma family's troops outside Tateyama Castle, hesitating whether to kill them directly now.

"Go up the mountain hall, what are you waiting for?" Tiantong Lai Chang came to the side of Yoshiaki Kamiyama and asked in a low voice, "Outside the castle is a rare plain area, which is suitable for our army to launch a large-scale attack. The enemy should have noticed something and refused to enter the city, if the enemy was more alert and ran away, then we didn't wait for so long in vain? ”

In fact, Tateyama Castle has long been occupied by the Tsugawa family.

Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni and Ishikawa Harimitsu rebelled, and Takaaki Tamura was controlled again, and Tateyama Castle fell into the hands of the Tsugawa family without much effort. However, Yoshiaki Kamiyama did not rush to let the Tsugawa family's troops enter Tateyama Castle, but laid an ambush on Mt. Tazawa.

Yoshiaki Kamiyama expected that the Ashina Mori clan would definitely send troops to support Tateyama Castle, as an important branch of Yonezawa Castle, once it fell, it would be equivalent to cutting off Yonezawa Castle's left and right hands, and the Ashina family's troops in Yonezawa Castle could only sit and wait to die.

"This enemy army will not flee! Quietly sent someone to Tateyama Castle, and asked Nihonmatsu Yoshikuni and Ishikawa Harumitsu in the city to think of a way to trick the army in front of them into the city. This enemy army obviously doesn't know about Tateyama Castle yet, otherwise it wouldn't have stayed here, and there is still a chance! Yoshiaki Kamiyama replied without looking back, his expression full of determination.

Tiantong Lai Chang nodded, and then retreated.

"Hanbei, why are you so sure that this force will not leave??? At this time, Ayubei Zongxin, who was beside Yoshiaki Kamiyama, asked.

Hearing that his father-in-law spoke, Yoshiaki Kamiyama didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied, "Father-in-law." Shicai saw from the enemy's flag seal that this army consisted of two families: the Soma family and the Ashina family. Whether you want to enter the city or leave, you should have acted a long time ago. And now it is stagnant, then it means that there is a dispute within the enemy army, and it is impossible to do the order and prohibition! ”

"I see." Hearing Yoshiaki's words, Ayubei Zongxin suddenly said.

Ayubei Zongxin has been very nourishing in recent years. The son is now the banner of Tsugawa Soji, and the son-in-law is the leader of the outer and southern feather states, and even the Ayu family has a great sense of presence among the people of the country.

The Ayubei family is just a very ordinary land, and unlike other wealthy families in the Ou area, who have a "background", the Ayubei family is a serious local bun.

The Ayubei clan is Fujiwara Yasukin, the grandson of Fujiwara Kita-Ryusan Saninaka, and Fujiwara Yasu-kin, who was given the title of Nagaiso in the county. Later, his descendants multiplied in the local area, and a branch called Hengyue Township in Zhici County was called Hengyue Clan, which was the ancestor of the Ayu family.

In the third year of Yingyong, he crossed Chengzong (the grandfather of Ayubei Zongxin) and built Ayubei City in Ayubei Township, and since then he has regarded himself as Ayubei. If there is no outlier of Tsugawa Soji, the Ayubei family will be born in the generation of the son of Ayumi Morimune, and it has been a dog until the Meiji period, and it is an out-and-out land snake.
