"Kill!" Tsugawa Soji slashed down a ashigaru with a knife, and the horse continued to charge forward without slowing down, Takahashi Xingjia didn't dare to let Tsugawa Soji charge alone anymore, and hurriedly followed Tsugawa Soji's side to protect. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"I am Iwashimizu Left Horse Head Yoshitaka, who dares to fight with me!" Yoshitaka Iwashimizu yelled loudly, trying to "attract hatred".

Soji Tsugawa hurriedly said, "Don't pay attention to him, he wants to delay time and rush over with all his might!" ”

"Hey!"

The cavalry of the Tsugawa family did not take care of Iwashimizu Yoshitaka and others, and rushed over directly to continue to pursue the fleeing Spo family's large army. And Iwashimizu Yoshitaka sighed, looked at Shigehiro Kudo and the others not far away, and said regretfully, "Lord Kudo, I can only do so much." ”

Yoshikawa Hiroya and others also chased after him at this time, and Kudo Shigehiro, who had already fled a distance in front, couldn't catch up, so Yoshikawa Hiroya and others set their sights on Iwashimizu Yoshitaka and others, who served as the palace army.

"Kill!" Yoshikawa Hiroya and others led the Tsugawa family's troops to surround Iwashimizu Yoshitaka and others, and from time to time three or two of the Spo family's ashigaru fell. Yoshitaka Iwashimizu knew that his task had been accomplished, and said freely, "Everyone, dying on the battlefield is the glory of a samurai. It is also an honor for me to die with you today! Let the people of the Tsugawa family see the combat power of the warriors of our Spo family, kill! ”

"Swear to follow the adults to the death, kill!" The ashigaru people present also responded to the call of Yoshitaka Iwashimizu and came to kill the ashigaru of the Asahagawa family who did not care about their lives.

Iwashimizu Yoshitaka is a genealogy retainer of the Pig Family, and the Pig Family is the common stream of the Spo family, and the Shizukuishi family is the same. In that year, the two families were destroyed by the southern family, and after Spo Zengao led the army to recapture the Shizukuishi area, he passed on his two sons to the two families who had broken the heir, so Iwashimizu Yoshitaka followed the pig to Kanyi, and it has been more than 10 years.

Yoshitaka Iwashimizu was originally a ronin who wandered from the Kanto region, and he suffered many misfortunes as a child, and he treated his ashigaru very kindly. That's why so many Ashigaru are willing to follow him to the death.

Miki Naogo looked at Iwashimizu Yoshitaka who was fighting to the death on the field, and nodded secretly, and said, "Iwashimizu Yoshitaka, there is no need to resist senselessly, it is better to abandon weapons and surrender, my lord loves talents like you very much, as long as you are willing to surrender, how about I recommend you as a general like my lord?" ”

However, for Miki Naoxiang's persuasion, Iwashimizu Yoshitaka did not buy it, and immediately refused, "My Iwashimizu family has been deeply favored by the main family for generations, and I will never surrender, needless to say, let's fight." ”

Miki Naogo sighed, for a samurai like Iwashimizu Yoshitaka, Miki Naogo still admires it very much. Seeing that Iwashimizu Yoshitaka was unwilling to surrender, even if Miki Naogo was about to go into battle, he didn't want a samurai from the Tsugawa family to step out first.

"I am the Tsugawa family's ashigaru general Toshi Yoshimori, come to teach your Excellency's martial arts!" Toshi Yoshisheng said loudly.

"Kill!" Totoki Yoshimori rushed towards Iwashimizu Yoshitaka violently, raised his sword and slashed at Iwasuizu Yoshitaka.

Yoshitaka Iwashimizu also fired back with a knife without showing weakness, and the two of them suddenly collided together.

"Hah!" Toshiki Yoshishi shouted loudly and slashed again, and Iwashimizu Yoshitaka hurriedly dodged sideways. After the two of them slashed each other more than ten times, Iwashimizu Yoshitaka couldn't support it a little.

He had already fought a lot before, and his physical strength was long gone, and now he was facing a samurai like Totoki Yoshimori who was "outstanding in martial arts", and Iwashimizu Yoshitaka was a little powerless.

Sure enough, in the next slash, Iwashimizu Yoshitaka's right hand was half a beat slower, and Totoki Yoshimori seized the opportunity to cut off his right hand with a knife. Iwashimizu Yoshitaka fell to his knees with an "ah", and Totoki Yoshimori quickly stepped forward and inserted the sword in his hand into Iwashimizu Yoshitaka's chest.

At this time, the remaining Spo family Ashigaru has also been wiped out.

"Lord, there is Tian Zecheng in front, whether to continue the pursuit!" On the way to pursue the defeated army of the Spo family, Nagano Masabo said to Tsugawa Soji.

"Let's not chase it first, we are all cavalry, which is not conducive to siege. Let's wait for the back Ashigaru to arrive. Soji Tsugawa said softly.

After pursuit, although many of the Spo family's routs were killed on the way, some of the deserters still escaped, thinking that they had already entered Tazawa Castle.

Inside Tazawa Castle, Inogo Kanyi and Shizukuishi Kanma and others sat expressionlessly in the castle tower.

Although Shizukuishi Quanzhen left first, he was still caught up by the pig to Quanyi, and only more than 20 flags were left around the two of them and returned to Tazawa City. Later, Shigehiro Kudo and others also fled to Tazawa Castle, and Pig went to Quanyi to count Ashigaru, and there were only more than 200 people left in the 1,200-person army. (The rest of Ashigaru were either killed or scattered and disappeared.) ）

"Is there only so many people left?" The pig went to interpret Yiyi, and said bloodlessly, "What about Iwashimizu Yoshitaka?" Why didn't you see him return? ”

"Lord, Lord Iwashimizu stayed to be the palace army in order to cover the escape of his subordinates, and it would be more auspicious to think about it." Shigehiro Kudo replied sadly.

Pig went to Quanyi and nodded helplessly, "Iwashimizu Yoshitaka, alas." ”

"It's all my fault for being careless in this battle, but I didn't expect Tsugawa Soji to let Ashigaru be the bait, and then launch a surprise attack on this formation, resulting in a big defeat for my family, and I have no shame to see my father again."

Shizukuishi said in a panic, "Saburo, the family is defeated now, what should I do?" ”

"Alas," Pig went to Quanyi and sighed and said, "It won't take long for the Tsukawa family's troops to catch up, we only have 200 people, and Ashigaru has no will to fight, Tazawa Castle can't hold it, let's retreat."

"Why don't you ask your father for help?" Shizukuishi said unwillingly.

"No, it won't be long before the news of the war here spreads. Now that we have no troops in Shizukuishi Castle and Inogokan, we have to withdraw our troops in order to prevent the invasion of the wealthy clans of the strict guard and the Ishikawa family (Ishikawa Takanobu, a retainer in the south, has moved from Ishikawa Castle in Tsugaru Prefecture to Iwate Gun). The pig said helplessly.

"Give the order to withdraw the troops." Pig went to Quanyi and said to Shigehiro Kudo.

"Hi"

...........

"Lord, the Sibo family's troops have been evacuated from Tazawa City, and now Tazawa City is an empty city." In a mountain forest outside Tazawa Castle, the detective of the Tsugawa family said to Tsugawa Soji.

"Good!" Soji Tsugawa stood up and said happily, "Send an order to Yoshikawa Hiroya and the others, so that they don't have to rush to Tazawa Castle, march towards the valley castle and capture the valley castle!" ”

"Hey!"

"Now let's go and take over Tazawa City." Soharu Tsugawa said to Takahashi Koke and Nagano Masabo.

"Hi"

Soji Tsugawa turned on his horse and led the cavalry to start marching towards Tazawa Castle, and soon came to Tazawa Castle. Tazawa Castle was already an empty city, there was not a single guard on the castle tower, and the city gate was open.

"Into town!"

When Soji Tsugawa rode into Tazawa Castle on horseback, it marked the end of the Tsugawa family's unification of Senhoku Prefecture.
