Nagano Castle, a big battle is underway. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soji Tsugawa didn't know that this was the first time he waved the knife in his hand today. The Tozawa family and the Hondo family charged fearlessly for an afternoon, and although they had not yet captured the castle tower, the Tsugawa family of Nagano Castle also suffered heavy losses.

After fighting for 1 hour under the leadership of Yoshikawa Hiroie, Taitoashigaru suffered heavy damage. After the Yoshikawa Hiroke family collapsed from exhaustion, Taitoshi Ashigaru also lost his combat effectiveness. However, with only 50 troops, they were able to resist the attack of the Tozawa family and the Hondo family for an hour, and they were too light to be called elite.

After losing the elite Ashigaru of the Taidao Squad, Nagano Castle's defense was suddenly about to support the offensive of the Ashigaru family. In desperation, Soji Tsugawa could only join the battle with Ashigaru Banner, and Hisaharu Mizutani and others also followed.

Hondo Tadashi had been watching the battle situation in Nagano Castle, and when he saw that the Tsugawa family in the castle had already dispatched a banner to resist, Hondo Tadashi said happily: "The Tsugawa family is about to lose its support!" It looks like Nagano Castle is about to be captured by our army."

Tozawa Michimori also said excitedly: "Once Nagano Castle is captured by our army, all the territory of the Tsugawa family will be exposed to the strength of our army, and it is only a matter of time before the Tsugawa family is destroyed."

"Haha! The territory of the Tsugawa family is all fertile land, and it was inconvenient to attack it with the large number of wealthy families and the constraints of the Liuxiang family in the past, but now there is no need to worry! Ha ha! Hondo said excitedly. The loyal relatives of Hondo, who had long been coveting the fertile land of the Jiaojian River Basin, could no longer hold back the excitement in their hearts when they saw that their long-cherished wish was about to be fulfilled.

However, the heavens are not beautiful, and just when the two were overjoyed, an accident happened.

"My lord! Big things are wrong! "A detective from the Tozawa family rode a fast horse to Tozawa Michimori's side.

Tozawa Michimori's expression changed and he said, "What happened?" ”

The detective said in a panic: "Lord! The Ando family (also called the Ando family, gradually changed its name to the Ando family, and later also used the Ando family as a title.) Suddenly sent troops to his own family, and now the troops are besieging Yodogawa Castle! Yodogawa Castle Lord Tozawa Masato sent someone to report to the lord and ask for immediate support from the lord! ”

"What? Anton's house? Tozawa Michigan exclaimed, "How is the strength of the Andong family?" ”

"My lord! The Anto family and the Kameda family of Kawabe Prefecture dispatched 1,000 troops to attack the main family's Yodogawa Castle! , Tozawa politicians have been caged in the city. However, there are too many enemy troops, and there are only less than 300 troops in Yodogawa Castle, so please go to the rescue of Yodokawa Castle as soon as possible! Detective said excitedly.

Tozawa Michimono took two steps back, looked at Nagano Castle, which was about to fall, and said unwillingly: "Order!" Withdrawal! ”

The main temple was shocked: "Lord Tozawa, Nagano Castle is about to be captured, and we can't withdraw our troops!" ”

"Shut up! The Ando family has already reached their own territory, so what can they do if they capture Nagano Castle? The family's territory is about to become Anton's! Tozawa said angrily.

Hondo Tadashi said nervously: "Lord Tozawa, if you withdraw your army and leave, if Tsugawa Soji leads the army to counterattack, how can you resist it?" ”

"Ask for your own blessings! Your Highness can't help you! ”

"Withdraw! Remove! ”

On Nagano Castle, as the order to retreat came, the Ashigaru of the Tozawa family retreated like a tide. Soji Tsugawa and the others looked at each other in wonder.

"My lord! The enemy retreated so suddenly? Mizutani asked puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe something is going on, or maybe the enemy has some other plan. Order, strictly guard the city, do not pursue! Soharu Tsugawa said.

"Hi"

After a while, the forces of the Tozawa family and the Hondo family disappeared from the field of vision of Soharu Tsugawa and others.

"My lord! Look at this situation, the enemy army is really retreating," Mizutani said to Soji Tsugawa.

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "I don't know what kind of medicine the enemy sells in the stomach, so I sent my family's detectives out to inquire about the situation." ”

"Hi"

Two hours later, with the return of the Tsugawa family's detectives, Soji Tsugawa and the others finally knew what was going on outside!

"So the Andong family suddenly attacked the Tozawa family, and Tozawa Michimori had to lead the army back?" Soji Tsugawa said to Detective.

"Hey! The Ando family is menacing, and they have already surrounded Yodogawa Castle, the western stronghold of the Tozawa family. Once Yodogawa Castle is lost, the Ando family can directly attack the Tozawa family's original Komatsuyama Castle (which later became Kakunodate Castle, but at this time it was still called Komatsuyama Castle)! ”

"The Anton family sent troops at this time, which helped the family a lot. Otherwise, the situation in Nagano Castle is not optimistic! Soji Tsugawa said with a smile.

Mizutani Hisaharu replied, "My lord! Anton's family and Tozawa's family are constantly fighting, and this time the Tozawa family dispatched such troops to the south, presumably the Ando family also learned the news and took the opportunity to sneak attack the Tozawa family! God bless my Tsugawa family! ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded and continued: "What is the situation between the Ando family and the Tozawa family, can Mizutani-sama know?" ”

Mizutani Hisaharu replied, "My lord! The Tozawa family was originally a local wealthy family in the Mutsu area, but it was only after being invaded by the southern Michinoku family that they moved into the area of Lake Tazawa in Senhoku County. Later, the Oshu Detective Osaki clan sent troops to capture the Tozawa family in Shizukuishi Castle in the strict defense gun, and the Tozawa family retreated to Senhoku-gun. ”

"After the Tozawa family retreated to Xianbei County, they attacked the territories of many wealthy families in the northern part of Xianbei County, and their strength increased greatly for a while. Since then, the Tozawa family and the Yasaki family have been in constant dispute over the river transportation of the Omono River in the territory. Therefore, the Andong family and the Tozawa family are like mortal enemies. It is also reasonable to take the opportunity to sneak attack Tozawa's house this time. ”

Kuji Mizutani paused for a moment and continued, "It is worth mentioning that the Anton family is divided into the Minato Anton clan and the Hiyama Anton clan. Although the two families are from the same line, they are incompatible. Anton Yaoji, the head of the Minato family, and Anton Shunji, the head of the Hiyama Andong family, also had frequent wars. ”

That's when Soji Tsugawa learned about the grievances between the Anto family and the Tozawa family. "I didn't expect the situation in Dewa to be so complicated!" Soji Tsugawa thought to himself.

"My lord! Now that the Tozawa family has withdrawn, why don't the family take advantage of the situation to fight back, attack the Hondo family, and include the southern part of Senhoku County in the family's sphere of influence? Kuji Mizutani said excitedly.

Soji Tsugawa thought for a moment and replied, "Okay! In this way, immediately prepare the army and attack the territory of the main parish family! ”

At this time, Kuroda Iekane also rushed to Nagano Castle with 200 displaced people, and Kuroda Iekane hurriedly ran over to find Tsugawa Soji.

"My lord, there is a war in Liangping City. Ryohei Yoshiki, the son of Ryohei Yoshiki, took advantage of the concentration of his family's forces in Nagano Castle and gathered a group of Ryohei family's rout troops to attack Ryohei Castle. ”

"What?" Soji Tsugawa exclaimed.
