Inside the Nagano Castle Castle Castle Tower, Soji Tsugawa finally breathed a sigh of relief after listening to Kuroda Iekane's report. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"So Liangping Yoshiki has been taken, and Liangping City is fine?" Soji Tsugawa asked with relief.

"Yes! Fortunately, his subordinates led their troops to pass by Ryohei Castle, otherwise Ryohei Castle would be in danger," Kuroda Iekanya said fearfully.

"What are the specific circumstances of the battle in Liangping Castle? It stands to reason that although there are only a few dozen peasant soldiers in the city, it should not be easily attacked by Ryohei Yoshiteru! ”

"My lord! Ryohei Yoshiki unleashed a rebellion in the village near Ryohei Castle to create chaos, and the commander of Ryohei Castle, Miki Naogo, thought that something had happened, so he led his troops to exterminate it. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed by Yoshiki Ryohei outside the city and suffered heavy damage. Lord Miki Naogo withdrew to Ryohei Castle with the remnants of his army, but was defeated by several times the strength of Ryohei Yoshiki. ”

"However, Lord Miki Naogo also dragged Ryohei Yoshiki with difficulty, and when his subordinates arrived, the defenders in Ryohei Castle had been wiped out."

Tsugawa Soji was shocked when he heard this: "What about the situation of Miki Naoko?" "Tsugawa Soji knows that Miki Naogo is Xiaolan's only relative, and if something happens to Miki Naogo, then Xiaolan must not die of sadness.

Kuroda Iekane hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Lord Miki Naogo will not retreat, although he is seriously injured, he is still alive. His subordinates have ordered someone to bring in a doctor for treatment. ”

After listening to Kuroda Iekane's words, Soji Tsugawa finally put his mind at ease. "Miki Naogo is worthy of being Xiaolan's brother, and he is still fighting tenaciously in such a situation, what a warrior," Tsugawa Soji said sincerely.

"Hey! His Majesty also admired Miki-sama's bravery in battle. ”

"We must do our best to save Miki Naogo, and in addition, the peasants and soldiers who died in Ryohei Castle will be given double pensions, and the whole family will be exempted from taxes for three years," Soharu Tsugawa said to Kuroda Iekane.

"Hey!"

At this time, Kuji Mizutani also came to the temple.

"Lord, the casualties of this cage city battle have been counted."

Soji Tsugawa hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”

Mizutani Hisaharu said with a solemn face: "Lord! The family's Taidao squad suffered heavy damage, killing 32 people and seriously wounding 16, and Lord Yoshikawa Hiroke was also injured, but it was fine. In addition, 69 people were killed, 140 were seriously wounded, and 170 were slightly wounded. ”

"So many casualties?" Soji Tsugawa said in surprise.

"My lord, the Tozawa family's ashigaru is fully equipped and has amazing combat power, and even if the family holds Nagano Castle, such casualties are unavoidable." Kuji Mizutani replied.

"How many people can the family send to continue the battle now?" Soji Tsugawa asked.

"My lord, in addition to the dead and seriously wounded, the family can still dispatch about 560 troops, plus the 200 peasant soldiers brought by Kuroda-sama, the total number is about 760."

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Leave 60 lightly injured towns to guard Nagano Castle and take care of the wounded, and the rest will all follow me to attack Hondo Castle!" This time, the family wants to completely sweep away the wealthy families of Nanxian North County and unify Nanxian North County! ”

"Hey!"

"By the way, let Yoshikawa-sama stay at Nagano Castle and recuperate from his injuries. This time, I will be accompanied by Mizutani-sama and Shinbei. Soharu Tsugawa added.

"Yes, my lord!"

.......

The main parish family is in the main parish castle, and the loyal relatives of the main parish have just returned with their troops.

"Brother, what happened? The Tozawa family, who remained in Takane Castle, suddenly retreated, and his brother also led his army back! Could it be that the war with the Tsugawa family is not going well? Hondo's loyal brother, Hondo, asked faithfully.

"Alas!"

"What a failure! Originally, Nagano Castle was about to be captured by us, but the Anto family of Kawabe Prefecture suddenly sent troops to attack the Yodogawa Castle of the Tozawa family, and the Tozawa Michimoriden led the army back to rescue Yodogawa Castle," said Hondo Tadashi unwillingly.

"What?" The main hall faithfully exclaimed: "The Tozawa family suddenly withdrew its troops, so what about the war in Nansenbei County?" The Tsukawa family is bound to counterattack the main family, how will the family resist the offensive of the Tsugawa family at that time? ”

"Now, we can only rely on ourselves, how many troops does our family have now?" The loyal relatives of the main hall said helplessly.

"Brother, most of the family's troops have been taken away by my brother, there are no more troops in Takane City, and there are only a few dozen peasant soldiers in Hondo City." The parish replied faithfully.

The loyal relatives of this hall were silent for a while. After a long time, he spoke: "After the battle of Takane Castle and the siege of Nagano Castle, there are only more than 300 of the 600 ashigaru I took away, and even if you add the dozens of people from Hondo Castle, there are only 400 people. It's not good! ”

Just when the loyal relatives of the main hall were frightened, another unfavorable news came.

"My lord! The Tsugawa family has sent troops from Nagano Castle, and the target is the main hall of the main family! A Hondo ashiki ran in and said.

"How many troops are there in the enemy's army? Where have we arrived now? Hondo asked faithfully and eagerly.

"The enemy army is about 700 people, and the enemy army is currently less than 10 miles away from the main hall city, and it must be that the army will come to the city soon." Ashigaru replied.

Ben Tang Zhong waved his hand expressionlessly, "You go down first." ”

"Hi"

After Ashigaru left, Hondo Zhongqin said with a pale face: "Faithful, I'm afraid my family will not be able to escape this time." The centuries-old inheritance of my family is about to be destroyed by my hands. ”

"Brother, the younger brother is willing to shed the last drop of blood for the main family! If the Tsugawa family wants to take Hondo Castle, they must first step over my corpse. ”

"Well said! Even if the head is different, you can't disgrace your family name! Be faithful, let us brothers protect the last dignity of the Hondo family! ”

"Hi"

......

Outside the main hall castle, Tsugawa Soji and his party have arrived outside the main hall after more than an hour of marching.

"My lord, this parish city is a peaceful city, and there is no danger to defend. It would not be difficult to capture the main hall castle this time. Kuji Mizutani looked at Hondo Castle not far away and said to Soji Tsugawa.

"Mizutani-sama, don't be careless. Judging from the strength of the Hondo family, there are at least 300 people in the castle at the moment, and although the family is twice as large as the enemy, it must go all out," said Soharu Tsugawa.

"Hey! Lord, leave the task of attacking the city to me, and my subordinates will guarantee to capture the main hall city within 2 hours! Kuji Mizutani said with a firm face.

"Yes! Let Mizutani-sama command the siege. Soji Tsugawa replied with a smile.

Then, Soji Tsugawa turned to Masahei Nagano and said, "Lord Nagano, you and Tadashi Kawakami will take a part of the troops to meet Lord Mizutani."

"Hi," Masahei Nagano and Tadashi Kawakami replied.

"Let's start attacking the castle" Soji Tsugawa looked at Hondo Castle with a smile, "As soon as the Hondo family is destroyed, Nansenkita County will be in the family's bag."

After saying that, Soji Tsugawa had a smile as bright as the sun on his face.
