In the third round of attack, Tsugawa Soji is going to move seriously, because Takahashi Xing, who landed from the sea, has successfully landed, which is the news that Tsugawa Soji just received half an hour ago.

In that case, then everything is simple!

The number of people crossing the river on the third ferry was significantly higher than on the first two. Haruki Kurokawa took the lead, followed by Akechi Mitsuhisa's Shirobi, Mizutani Hisaharu's Aobei, Yoshikawa Hiroke's Huangbei, and Yamamoto Ichiro's Taidao team.

This is almost the most elite force of the Tsugawa family.

And after these troops, it was the home camp of Tsugawa Soji, led by the new star of the Tsugawa family, Akechi Mitsuhide.

"Let's go!"

On the bank of the Natori River, after Kurokawa Harushi waved his big hand, the third river crossing attack officially began.

Twenty or thirty bamboo rafts were the first to sail away from the riverbank, followed by Bai Bei's five hundred people also followed on the raft, and Qing Bei, Huang Bei and others behind were also ready at any time.

Kurokawa Haru's mood is actually very complicated.

Because the Kurokawa Haru clan was actually a die-hard fan of the Date family at the beginning, and the last time the Ashina coalition invaded, the Kurokawa Haru clan also made a big effort. As a result, after the war, instead of receiving any rewards, he asked the Kurokawa Harushi to pay the annual tribute!

I rub it, what?

In fact, this can't be blamed entirely on Date Harumi, but the Date family is about to go bankrupt.

After just a few years of civil strife, the Date family can be said to be full of holes and waste. But at this juncture, he encountered something caused by the Ashina Mori clan and others, and the Date family was already in debt under the successive dispatch of troops.

The money borrowed by Date Harumune in the name of the Date family alone has reached 15,000 kan, which is equivalent to the income of the Date family for several years. Retainers who had contributed to the civil strife were not duly rewarded.

Give money, Date Harumune can't afford to give it. To Zhixing, Date Harumun was reluctant.

Even the meritorious retainers in the Astronomical Rebellion did not receive any decent rewards, let alone outsiders like Kurokawa Haru.

If everyone is like this, it may be justified. However, Date Minoto, who was an enemy of Date Harunzong in the civil strife, was instead given the peace of Omori Castle Zhiyuki after the war, and he also gave it a slight gift.

Reward the enemy instead of the hero? What is this operation?

So it's not just the Kurokawa Haru clan who has fire in their hearts, but basically the retainers of the Date family are uncomfortable. Coupled with the hook-up of the Tsukawa family, it is normal for people like Kurokawa Haruka to abandon the Date family.

And for the Kurokawa Haru clan, Tsugawa Soji also attaches great importance to it.

Because the Tsukawa family is located in a remote place, talent has always been a flaw for the Tsugawa family. In the past, it was up to Tsugawa Soji to discover those talents who were not famous in the territory, such as Yoshikawa Hiroke and others.

Later, when the fame gradually increased, many talents came from thousands of miles to take refuge, but such people were a minority after all. Up to now, in addition to the "grassroots" unearthed by Tsugawa Soji, among the retainers of the Tsugawa family, there are also wise Mitsuhide, Endo Kishinobu, Takigawa Kazuki brothers, and Kudo Masasuke (Naito Masato) brothers can get their hands on it.

A Kurokawa Haru clan is almost a starter in the second-tier lineup of the "Tsugawa Family Club"!

The Natori River is not a small river, the upper water is more turbulent, and the lower river is wider, which is not conducive to crossing the river, so the Tsugawa family chose the location of the river crossing in the middle of the Natori River.

But even then, it would take nearly a quarter of an hour to cross the Natori River.

But for war, a quarter of an hour passes in a flash. In the eyes of the Date family's Ashigaru, the Tsugawa family's troops, who were still on the other side of the river one moment, had already come to him the next moment.

"Shoot the arrows!"

By the time the Kurokawa Haru clan reached the middle of the Natori River, a group of Date archers had already begun to fire arrows on the shore. The Tsugawa family also had a way to deal with it, and there were four or five ashigaru people holding wooden rafts on each raft, so there were not many casualties.

When the fifth round of arrows from the Date archers was fired, the Kurokawa Haru clan was already close to the shore.

Oni Tingliang immediately narrowed his eyes and shouted loudly, "Rush over, don't let the people of the Tsugawa family go ashore!" ”

After saying that, Oni Ting Liang rushed out with a spear in his hand, followed by hundreds of ashigaru behind him. Repelling the Tsugawa family's river-crossing attacks twice in a row has skyrocketed the morale of the Date family, and this is the time when morale is high, and the combat effectiveness has skyrocketed.

"Kill!"

Haruhi Kurokawa was the first to go ashore.

Although you are the head of the Kurokawa family, the Kurokawa Harushi clan has a habit, that is, every time you fight together, you must take the lead and rush to the front, so although the Kurokawa family's troops are mostly peasant soldiers, at least the morale is very good.

The main will lead the charge, and the benefits are obvious. But there is also a drawback, that is, once the main general is killed, then the whole army will inevitably be defeated, which is the common sense of the Warring States Period.

But in such a situation, Kurokawa Haruki had no other way. If he wanted to gain a foothold after the landing and provide a small foothold for the friendly troops who landed one after another, Kurokawa Haru could only lead the charge in person.

Obviously, it still has some effect. At least the Kurokawa Haru clan team really stood still, and did not retreat into the river after a while like the troops of the first two Hadaura and Minohe.

The morale of the Kurokawa Haru clan is like a rainbow, although they can't repel the Ida's troops defending on the shore, but the Date family can't drive the Kurokawa Haru clan team down the river.

It's the turn of the Date family to worry.

While directing the battle in the middle of the team, Oniwa Ryonao also paid attention to the crossing of the river by the famous Kawakami Tsugawa family. And after seeing hundreds of rafts suddenly appear on the Natori River, Ghost Ryōniwa's face changed instantly.

"Not good! The Tsugawa family has launched a general attack, at least two thousand troops! ”

"Ask for support from your lord!"

The ghost court is not unfounded, there are only more than 300 people on the shore, and there are hundreds of archers to respond. Date Minoto and Koragawa Sohide were sent to support another landing site, so in the face of the Tsugawa family's 2,000-strong landing army, Oniwa Ryoshi did not have the calmness he had when facing Minohe Harimasa and Oura as before.

Just this section of the Natori River in the middle of the river, the Tsugawa family has three landing sites.

The first is the main battlefield under the command of Soji Tsugawa, and the second and third are located in the east near the downstream direction, after Togo Yoshisuke and Komura Yoshikei. However, it can be said that it is a feint, not the real main direction of attack.

Before launching a general attack, Tsugawa Soji asked Togo Yoshisuke and Komura Yoshikei to increase their attacks, giving the enemy the illusion that the Tsugawa family was going to land in the east. Sure enough, under such circumstances, Date Harunzong could only send part of the troops from the main battlefield to support.

After the strength of the Date family on the main battlefield was weakened, Tsugawa Soji immediately launched a general attack!

There's no way, if the author wants the Tsugawa family to win, there are countless ways to make the Date family lose........

Almighty author!
