On September 19, the thirteenth year of astronomy, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and there were no clouds. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The whole city was enveloped in a warm and heavy atmosphere. Because, today is the day when the Tsugawa family sends troops.
In the Minato Castle Castle Castle Guard, Soji Tsugawa and the retainers of the Tsugawa family who participated in the dispatch were holding a military meeting.
Tsugawa Soji sat on the main seat and said loudly to the retainers in the palace, "Now announce the battle arrangements for this dispatch!" ”
"Hah!" The retainers immediately sat down and looked at Tsugawa Soji, waiting for the final order.
"Yoshiki Komura!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly.
"In!"
"You led your troops to serve as the front army, set off from Minato City, and went north to attack Ludukan. There aren't many troops in the Ludu Pavilion, so be sure to take it quickly! Tsugawa Soji said loudly, "After capturing the Shikadokan, he led his army west to bypass Hachiro-la, and attacked the Iwawaki Pavilion in the coastal area of the Andong family. ”
"Hah!" Yoshikage Komura said excitedly.
"Shuichiro Yagyu and Hirohiro Tsumigi, the two of you, as the strength of Yoshikage Komura, assisted Yoshikage Komura in sending troops!" Soji Tsugawa continued.
"Haha!"
"Tadanobu Motoyama and Shiro Iwafune, the two of you led the navy of your family to cruise in the waters south of Iwawaki Pavilion and contain the navy of the Anton family. Just wait for Komura Yoshikage to lead the army to attack Iwawaki Pavilion, and then cooperate with Komura Yoshikage to attack Iwawaki Pavilion from the sea! ”
"Hah!"
"The rest of the people, follow me straight to the enemy Yamahonkan!"
"Hah!"
Half an hour later, at this time, 4,000 troops had gathered in Minato Castle and gathered in an open space outside the north gate of Minato Castle.
Soji Tsugawa rode a war horse and stood at the front of the Tsugawa family's troops, followed by Takahashi and others.
Looking at the neat military appearance of the family in front of him, Tsugawa Soji said arrogantly, "Everyone! Today is the day when we go out again, and the target is the Anto, the most powerful force in the Yugo region! ”
"Why is the Anton family the most powerful force in the first place?" Soji Tsugawa looked around at Ashigaru and said, "Because, the most powerful force in the Yugo region right now is my Tsugawa family!" ”
"Dealing with people like Anton's dying family, tell me loudly, can we win!"
"Yes!"
"So, do you aspire to merit?"
"Wow! Ooh! ”
"Now, the enemy is ahead, you are willing to go with me!"
"I am willing to die for the Tsugawa family! Ooh! ”
"Troops!" Tsugawa Soji waved his hand, and suddenly thousands of Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family began to march towards Akita County in the north in an orderly manner under the command of various retainers. Not far from Minato Castle, several ninjas glanced at each other, then turned and disappeared into the bushes.
..........
"The Tsugawa family has sent troops?"
"Is the message accurate?"
In Fifty Eyes City, Fifty Eyes Hideji looked at the detective in front of him excitedly and said.
"My lord! The Tsugawa family had set out from Minato Castle this morning and marched towards Akita County. Yoshiki Komura, who was in the front line of the enemy army, had reached the Okubo area. The detective replied loudly.
Hideji Fifty hurriedly said, "Send someone to inform the Miura family immediately, and immediately send troops to move closer to the Tsugawa family's troops!" ”
"What about the Jiacheng family?" Detective asked, puzzled.
Fifty-eyed Hideji was furious when he heard this, and said, "Jiacheng Jiqing, that capricious child, don't mention it!" Since he wants to lead the Jiacheng family to destruction, let him go! ”
Hiyama Castle, Anton Shunji also learned the news of the Tsugawa family's troops.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just received a report from the ninjas of my family that the Tsugawa family has sent troops. At present, Yoshikei Komura, who is in the front line of the enemy army, has reached the area of Okubo Township in Akita County. At this time, it should be almost time to arrive at the Shikado Museum of the family. Anton Sun-ji dressed up and stood inside the castle tower and said loudly.
The new Nodaikan Joshiro Yoshida Keijiro hurriedly said, "My lord, the Shikado Pavilion is just a small castle with only Ninomaru. There are only 200 people under the command of Lord Kiyobi, and the enemy general Yoshikage Komura is the old man of the Tsugawa family, and his reputation is far and wide. Come to think of it, I'm afraid that Lord Xiting won't last long. ”
After Yoshida Keijiro finished speaking, Kenhisa Matsushita, the Iwasaki Castle Dai, also said, "Yes, my lord." The Tsukawa family was in full swing at this time, and there was no danger to defend the Ludu Pavilion. Rather than losing hundreds of feet in the Ludu Pavilion, it is better to let the Kitewa-sama evacuate to the Yamamoto Pavilion. ”
"After all, compared to the Ludu Pavilion, the Yamamoto Pavilion is a rare fortified castle in the family. With Lord Xiting and Lord Shimizu here, it will not be a problem to hold the Tsugawa family for a while. Kenhisa Matsushita continued, "At this time, the main family is gathering all their forces to support Yamamotokan. With the Kamiiwa River outside the Yamamoto Museum facing off against the Tsugawa family across the river, even if you can't defeat the Tsukawa family, you can drag it down. ”
Yoshida Keijiro and Matsushita Kenhisa were originally not very famous samurai in the Anton family, but there were too many samurai killed in the last battle of the Anton family, and for a while, Anton Shunji could only promote the two to the castle of Noyokan and Iwasaki, replacing Matsuhashi Hidemori and Kamiura Yoshinaga.
Seeing that both of them said this, Anton Shunji also nodded and said, "What you said is right, then send an order to Xiting Hiroshi and evacuate him to the Yamamoto Pavilion." Cooperate with Shimizu Masayoshi in the Yamamotokan cage castle and drag down the offensive of the Tsugawa family. ”
"Hah!"
After speaking, Anton Shunji turned his gaze to a samurai at the end of the hall and said, "Izu Mamoru, how is the negotiation on the Kasei family's side?" ”
The samurai is the former lord of Kubota Castle in Kawabe County, Kubota Ieji. After the last battle of Akita Castle, the Anto family was defeated and fled, and Kubota Ieji knew that Kubota Castle could not be defended, so he abandoned the castle and withdrew to Hinoyama Castle with his wife and family.
Anton Shunji was still very happy with the allegiance of Kubota Ieji, a powerful samurai, and immediately gave Kubota Ieji 400 stone to Asauchi Zhiyuki, not far west of Hinoyama Castle, and appointed Kubota Ieji as the representative of Asanchi Castle, and his son Kubota Jifang was also appointed as the commander of Anton Shunji's banner.
After hearing Anton Shunji's words, Kubota Ieji hurriedly said, "Lord, Kasei Jiqing has already agreed to join our side. ”
"Really?" Anton Shunji said excitedly. After all, with the rise of the Tsugawa family and the decline of the Anton family, almost all the wealthy families who were previously subordinate to the Anton family fell to the Tsugawa family, and now it is learned that the Jiacheng family is still willing to live and die with the Anton family, Anton Shunji is still very surprised.
"After all, Jiacheng Kangqing died at the hands of the Jinchuan family, and Jiacheng Jiqing has no reason to serve the person who killed his father." Kubota Ieji said slowly, "The day before yesterday, Kasei Jiqing had sent the daughter of Hideji Fiftyme back to Fiftyme Castle and expressed his attitude. ”
"Haha!" Anton Shunji suddenly said with a smile: "I didn't expect Jiacheng Jiqing to be so aware of righteousness and have the demeanor of his father." Well, with the support of the Jiacheng family, the situation of this family is not too bad. ”
"Send someone to deliver a message to Jiacheng Jiqing, and ask him to go to the Yamamoto Pavilion with the strength of the Jiacheng family to assist Shimizu Masayoshi in defending the city!" Anton Shunji said loudly.
"Yes! Lord! ”
"Besides, we can't be idle in the future!" Anton Shunji continued, "Katsura Jiro, Kenhisa, the two of you immediately mobilize the remaining forces of your family and prepare to follow me to the Yamamoto Pavilion to defend against the enemy!" ”
