Chapter 263: Minezawa City Blocking the Way!
In the Hirichi Pavilion, after ordering the troops under his command to be slightly repaired for a while, he called Abe Enta, the leader of the Yamaguchi clan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Yuantai, ahead should be the Jiacheng family's Aren Yinshan. The forces of the Arase Pavilion have been defeated by the main family, and Aren Ginzan can easily take it. But the rest of Minezawa Castle is a problem, and you can have people who are familiar with the terrain around here? Soji Tsugawa said slowly.
Abe Madota thought about it, shook his head and said, "Lord! The usual activity area of our Yamaguchi people is usually here, and Minezawa Castle already belongs to the hinterland of the Kasei family, and we Yamaguchi people don't dare to go easily, so after the Arase Museum, we are not very familiar with it. β
Tsugawa Soji frowned after listening to Abe Enta's words, Tsugawa Soji's action this time is to be fast and accurate! Fast means that the speed should be fast, so Tsugawa Soji brought the cavalry of the Tsugawa family, and the criterion was that Tsugawa Soji and others should be familiar with the enemy's situation and know the important cities or sources of income in the place.
Soji Tsukawa's plan was to destroy the interior of the region, whether it was economic or agricultural, and to do anything that could cause losses to the enemy. In this way, Anton Shunji, who was far away in Minato, and the subordinate forces of the Anton family knew that their rear was being destroyed by their own troops, and they must have no intention of fighting.
At that time, the siege of Minato City can be easily lifted, and this is also the Tsugawa Soji version of the siege of Wei to save Zhao.
However, the current situation is that although Soharu Tsugawa and others have a general idea of the enemy's situation, they are only able to approximate it. Originally, Tsukawa Soji thought that Yamaguchi should be very familiar with the surrounding area after being entrenched here for so long, but the result was unexpected by Tsukawa Soji.
Just when Soji Tsugawa was at a loss, Takahashi Koke walked in from outside and said, "My lord! A person came from outside, saying that he had brought the head of the Takayama Ichiji, the lord of Arasekan Castle. β
"Oh?" Soji Tsugawa let out a puzzled voice, and then said to Takahashi Koya, "Take him in!" β
"Hah!"
It didn't take long for Takahashi to bring people in, and it was Yasuke.
After Yasuke entered the castle tower of the Hirichi Inner Building, he quickly knelt down and bowed, and said slowly, "Yasuke, a farmer from Kodaka Village, has seen an adult!" β
Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "I heard that you brought the head of the Takayama Ichichi clan?" I don't know where I am now?"
Hearing this, Yasuke hurriedly put a cloth bag in his hand on the ground and opened it, and a human head met the eyes of Tsugawa Soji.
Soji Tsugawa nodded slowly and said, "The head is true, but how do you prove that this is the head of the Takayama Ichichi clan?"
Yasuke hurriedly replied, "My lord! I have been following Takayama Kazushi from Arasekan here, and when I saw that Takayama Ichichi was defeated by the cavalry under the command of the adult, he hid in the dense forest next to the road, and when Takayama Ichichi fled to the villain's hideout, the villain shot Takayama Ichichi and the two famous ashigaru around him one by one! β
Hearing Yasuke's words, Tsugawa Soji believed it a little in his heart, but he continued to ask, "But why did you, a mere peasant, follow the Takayama Ichichi clan and kill him?" Could it be that you are a warrior hunter? β
Yasuke shook his head, and then replied, "The villain is not a warrior hunter, but the adults listen to me slowly." β
So, Yasuke told Soji Tsugawa and the others what happened today, and after hearing this, Tsugawa Soji and the others showed anger on their faces. Even Abe Enta boasts that he is "evildoer", but compared to the Takayama Kazushi in Yasuke's mouth, it is far away.
Soji Tsugawa said indignantly, "Hmph! I didn't expect the Takayama clan to be such a person, it's really a shame for us samurai! β
Immediately, Soji Tsugawa said to Yasuke, "Yasuke, this family is deeply sympathetic to what happened to you and your fiancΓ©e. Since you killed the Takayama clan, then the family will reward you with 100 pieces! β
"Thank you, sir!" Yasuke said calmly.
"Adult, villain asks to join the Tsugawa family and work for the Tsugawa family!" Yasuke continued.
Soji Tsugawa hurriedly asked, "Oh? Why did you want to join our family? β
Yasuke said slowly, "The villain wants to become a samurai so that he can protect his family and protect the village!" β
Soji Tsugawa nodded and said with a smile, "Okay! Then you will follow me for the time being, and after you have made the corresponding achievements, I will promote you to become a samurai!" β
"Is that true?" Yasuke said excitedly.
Soji Tsugawa smiled and said, "Of course it's true, what I'm saying Tsugawa Soji has never broken my promise!" β
Yasuke sighed, and said happily, "It turns out that the adult is the Eagle of the Senbei Tsugawa-sama!" β
"Haha!" Soji Tsugawa was very satisfied with Yasuke's reaction when he heard his name, and said with a smile, "Yasuke, do a good job, the family will not treat anyone who has merit to the family!" β
"Hah!"
When Soji Tsugawa said this, he suddenly asked, "Yasuke, are you familiar with Minezawa Castle and the surrounding area?" β
Yasuke thought for a moment and said, "My lord, when I was young, I often followed my father to send the prey he hunted to nearby castles to sell. Although Minezawa Castle is a bit far from Kodaka Village, the prey can be sold there for a good price, and rice is cheaper than Arasekan, so the villain often follows his father to Minezawa Castle. β
"So I'm still familiar with the villains nearby." Yasuke said confidently.
Soji Tsugawa was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Okay! Yasuke, I ask you, how is the situation in Minezawa Castle? How many troops are there in the city, and what is the size of the city? β
Yasuke thought for a moment and said, "Minezawa Castle is twenty miles north of the Arase Pavilion, so the strength of the city is not very clear. However, I heard that the Jiacheng family seems to have sent troops with the Anton family, so I don't think there are many ashigaru people in Minezawa Castle. β
"As for Minezawa Castle, the scale is still quite large, at least 10 times the size of Hiritsunaikan! And it is surrounded by mountains on both sides, which is very conducive to defense. Yasuke said slowly.
Tsugawa Soji was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then continued, "In your opinion, if the Yasuke family wants to capture Minezawa Castle with 600 troops, how long will it take?" β
Yasuke thought for a moment and said, "Attacking Minezawa Castle from the south can only attack the southern part of Minezawa Castle. The southern walls of Minezawa Castle are all stone and very high. There are four arrow towers and 1 curved wheel, plus a lot of masturbation. Even if there are only 50 ashigaru people in Minezawa Castle, at least 600 of us can be held off for a day! β
"One day!" Soji Tsugawa let out an exclamation, if Yasuke's words were correct, then the scale of Minezawa Castle was at least at the level of Komatsuyama Castle. If there is no accident in such a city, it will be very difficult to conquer.
"Then if we want to enter the hinterland of the Andong family, is there any other road besides Minezawa City?" Soji Tsugawa asked unrelentingly.
Yasuke thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, there is one, there is a mountain road to the west of our Kodaka Village, which leads to the territory of the Fifty Eyes family. However, it rained heavily for a few days some time, and the mountain road was blocked by rolling stones and mud, and this road was no longer feasible. β
Soji Tsugawa nodded, and said slowly, "In this way, we can only storm Minezawa Castle!" β
