Chapter 215: First City
At the Shimomurakan, the peasants and soldiers of the Shimomura family are retreating one after another, while the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family is overwhelmed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Faced with the constant climb to the castle tower, the Tsugawa family is ashigaru, and the peasant soldiers of the Shimomura family are no longer able to parry. When the first peasant dropped his weapon and fled, the rest of the peasant soldiers began to join the fleeing queue.
"Don't fight, run away!" "Ahh Come on! ā
Listening to the voice in his ears, Shiro Ito was shocked, and the sword in his hand also paused.
And this made Shuichiro Yanagi on the side seize the opportunity and stabbed the spear in his hand into Shiro Ito's chest.
Shiro Ito couldn't believe it, looked at the spear on his chest, struggled for a while, and slowly lowered his head.
"Hmph, dare to be distracted? Look for death! Shuichiro Yagyu said disdainfully.
"The enemy will be taken by me!"
With the news of Shiro Ito's death in battle, the peasant soldiers of the Shimomura family, who had already collapsed, suddenly ran faster.
Yoshikawa Hiroke and Nagano Masabo looked at each other and smiled when they saw that the peasants and soldiers of the Shimomura family had begun to retreat.
"The Shimomurakan has been captured by the main family!" Nagano Masabo yelled loudly.
"Wow!" The ashigaru around them suddenly burst into cheers.
In the main camp of the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji listened to the bursts of cheers that came, laughed and said to the retainers around him, "Haha, it seems that the Shimomurakan has been captured." Ladies and gentlemen, let's go ahead of the city! ā
"Hah!"
.................
Bai Zeyan, the barrier of the former Shimomura family has become a trouble for the Shimomura family at this time.
When the village patriarch and others rushed to Bai Zeyuan with their troops, Bai Zeyuan and Nishigo Kicho and Tozawa Masashige were already ready.
After half an hour of fighting, several waves of attacks were launched, but they were all repelled by the Tsugawa family's forces on Bai Zeyuan.
The head of the lower village looked at Bai Zeyan, who was standing in front of him, and said anxiously, "It's over, it's been so long." There weren't many troops in the Shimomurakan at all. Come to think of it, the Shimomurakan has already been captured. ā
"Shimomura-sama, although the Shimomurakan may have been captured. However, I just received news that the Akao Tsu family, the Iwaya family, and the Tatsu family have sent troops under the leadership of Lord Anton. Nei said with a smile at this time.
"Oh? Lord Anton also sent troops? The head of the Shimomura clan breathed a sigh of relief, "With Lord Andong coming out, the Tsugawa family is not worried." ā
"By the way, where is Lord Anton's forces now?" Patriarch Shimomura then asked.
Nei Komitsu hurriedly replied, "Lord Anton's forces have already reached the Iwaya Pavilion of the Iwaya family, and they are currently heading towards the Shimomurakan, so if nothing else, they will be able to arrive tomorrow." ā
"Good! Then let's stop attacking for the time being, and wait until Lord Anton comes!" Sect Chief Shimomura said with relief.
...............
The Iwaya Pavilion is located in the northwest of the Shimomurakan area.
At this time, outside the Iwaya Pavilion, thousands of troops had already been assembled.
The Anto family sent a total of 1,200 troops, including 100 from the Kameda family and 200 from the Toshima family, for a total of 1,500 people. The Akaotsu family sent 400 troops, the Iwaya family 200 people, the Tatsu family 200 people, and the Maize family 200 people, with a total strength of 2,500 people.
Combined with the forces of the Shimomura family, the Ziyoshi family, the Nei family, and the Oi family, the number of enemies of the Tsugawa family was around 3,000.
In addition to the Takizawa family and the Akabo family, there were also the Niga family, the Serita family, and the Lost Island family.
Anton Yaoji sat in the castle tower of the Iwaya Pavilion and said to the lords of the noble clans in the hall, "Everyone, it's getting late today, let's march again tomorrow." ā
"I just received news that the Shimomurakan has been captured. The head of the Shimomura family, Mitsuhisa Oi, and others were stopped outside the Shirasawan in the south of the Shimomurakan, and the Tsukawa family's troops were also being repaired at the Shimomurakan. ā
"In addition, the Hanekawa family's Hanekawa Castle has also been captured by the Tsugawa family's general Mizutani Hisaharu, and the Hanekawa Harushi clan is nowhere to be found." Anton Yaoji said slowly.
The head of the Akao Tsu family, Akao Tsu Ieho, said at this time, "Lord Anton, at the moment, our coalition forces have reached 2,500 people, plus the head of the Shimomura clan and the ashigaru on Mitsuhisa Oi's side, the total strength of the army has reached 3,000 people. The Tsugawa family's strength is only 1,600 people, and if the Tsugawa family doesn't increase its troops, it won't be able to stop our attack. ā
"Is there any news from the Niga family?" Anton Yaoji did not answer, but continued to ask.
The head of the Toshima family, Toshima Shigemura, said, "Lord Anton, Niga Hojuharu has sent a letter saying that troops will be sent soon, and the same is true for the Serita family and the Oshima family. ā
"Humph! Let's hope so! Anton Yaoji said indignantly.
The Higa family has always been more inclined to the Dahoji family in the south of the Shonai area, and for this powerful family in Yuri County, Anton Yaoji has always wanted to win over, but unfortunately the Higa family has been unmoved, which makes Anton Yaoji very annoyed.
"In addition, the Takizawa family and the Atakuho family have written to say that they have suffered heavy damage and are currently unable to send troops to support." Toshima Shigemura continued.
Anton Yaoji nodded and said, "This is expected, the Takizawa family has just been jointly attacked by the Shimomura family and others, it would be strange if they were really willing to send troops to support." ā
Iwaya Asamai, the head of the Iwaya family, said at this time, "Lord Anton, there have been rumors that the Takizawa family intends to marry the Tsugawa family, so we may have to pay attention to the movements of the Takizawa family." ā
"Well, there's no need to talk about it. At the moment of the great enemy, don't mess with yourself. Anton Yaoji said indignantly.
"Hah!"
Anton Yaoji looked around at the people in the hall and said slowly, "I don't care what gap you have before, but now our primary enemy is the Tsugawa family. I hope that you will work together to resist the attack of the Tsugawa family. ā
"Hah!" Everyone in the hall said one after another.
In fact, even if it were not for Anton Yoo-ji's words, the Yuri Party present here would not sit idly by and watch the Tsugawa family make a fortune in Yuri-gun. It is true that the wealthy families in Yuri County share the same hatred externally, but this is only externally. As for the internal, it can only be hehe.
"Everyone will return to prepare, and early tomorrow morning, send troops to the village pavilion."
"Yes!"
..............
Having just experienced a big war, Shimomurakan looks a little bleak. The castle is full of the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru, collecting the corpses of the Shimomura family's peasant soldiers who died in battle.
In the castle tower, Soharu Tsugawa and others also held an evaluation.
Most of the retainers of the Tsugawa family participated in this dispatch.
The main forces of the battle were Huang Bei of the Yoshikawa Hiroke family and Lan Bei of Akechi Mitsuhisa, and the cavalry team of Kanna Tokinobu was currently stationed outside the Shimomurakan.
Yoshikawa Hiroya is currently reporting the specific situation of the battle just now, "My lord, in the first battle of Shimomurakan, there were no casualties in this family. A total of 17 peasant soldiers from the village were captured, and there was also a samurai. ā
"Well, have you counted the materials in the Shimomura Pavilion?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.
"The Shimomura Pavilion has hoarded all the wealth of the Shimomura family, with a total of 340 pieces of money, 5,600 stones of grain, and a lot of weapons." Yoshikawa Hiroya said slowly, "There are only two castles in the Shimomura family. The Shimomura Pavilion has been occupied by the main family, and the Minamioka has also been burned down by the main family, and the Shimomura family has already existed in name only. ā
"Well, this is how the family has a temporary foothold in Yuri County." Soji Tsugawa nodded in satisfaction.
"What's the situation on Bai Zeyan's side?" Soji Tsugawa then asked.
