The Tsugawa family's forces were somewhat damaged after the battle at Minatojo, and there are still more than 3,700 people who can continue to fight. As for the Ando family, its own strength is 4,200 people, plus the strength of the Miura family, the Kubota family, the Kasei family, the Igme family and other wealthy families, the total number is about 5,500 people.

In general, the Anton family has the upper hand.

Such a "great battle" is unprecedented in the entire Hago region.

The Tsugawa family's main camp is located on the mountainside of Akita Ridge, while the Anto family's main camp is located in the Kanano area, 6 miles east of Minato Castle.

Akita Yuan, Tsugawa family main camp, Tsugawa Soji and others are conducting military discussions and discussing countermeasures.

Soji Tsugawa sat on the throne and said to the retainers in front of him, "Yoshikawa Hiroie, let's talk about the current situation on both sides of the enemy. ”

"Hah!" Yoshikawa Hiroya hurriedly said, "My lord, because Kubota Castle is blocking the retreat of the family, the family can only be trapped in the area of Akita Yuan, and the current strength of the Andong family has launched a situation of flanking the front and back of the family. ”

"In front of the main family, there is the main force of the Andong family, which is the enemy Matsuhashi Hidemori team, Shimizu Mayoshi team, Sato Yoshiyuki team, Kiiwa Hirotake team, and Kanura Yoshinaga team, with a total number of about 3,000 people. Behind the main house is the Kubota family team and the Kubota Jibo team of Kubota Castle, and there are also the Miura Moriki team, the Miura Morinaga team, the Hideji Igme team, and the Kasei Yasushi team belonging to the Ando family, with a total number of about 1,300 people. ”

"In addition, in the area of the Omono River south of Akita Tsuka, there are also the Ando family's naval army, Kenji Kitaura, and Okubo Nagaji's team, with a total number of about 600 people." Yoshikawa Hiroya said slowly.

After listening to Yoshikawa Hiroka's words, Tsugawa Soji nodded lightly, and then continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, it seems that the Ando family's move is to surround the family and annihilate the family in one fell swoop. ”

"Humph! Arrogant! Mizutani Hisaharu on the side said loudly, "My lord, although the strength of the Anton family is more than 1,000 people than the main family, the combat effectiveness of the family's ashigaru is not comparable to those peasant soldiers of the Anton family." ”

"In the field, my family has never been afraid of anyone." Hisaharu Mizutani continued.

Mizutani Hisaharu's words were unanimously approved by all the retainers present, and the retainers said that the Anton family was not worried.

Tsugawa Soji was also extremely satisfied when he saw that his retainers were fighting strongly. So he continued, "Okay, now I'll give the next battle order!" ”

Hearing Tsugawa Soji say this, the retainers sat down and waited for Tsugawa Soji's instructions.

Soji Tsugawa stood up, pointed to a map hanging behind him indicating the geographical location near Minato Castle, and said loudly, "Although the enemy's main force is to the west of the main family, on the contrary, the most headache for the family is Kubota Castle stuck behind the main family, so the primary target of the family is Kubota Castle!" ”

"Kuji Mizutani, Naogo Miki!" Soji Tsugawa said loudly, "You two, bring your troops to the northwest of Kubota Castle and make a posture of attacking Kubota Castle. ”

"Hirohiro Tsumiki, Kokoku Takahashi, the two of you will assist Kuji Mizutani and Naogo Miki from the side!" Soji Tsugawa then said to Kokoku Takahashi and Hirohiro Tsumiki.

"Hah!" Mizutani Hisashi and the others hurriedly took the order.

"Ichiro Yamamoto, you set out from Akita Ridge with the Taidao team, bypassed the foot of the mountain, and deployed your troops to the north of Kubota Castle, ready to support Kuji Mizutani and the others at any time! Hailong Yoshima, as a reserve, you are behind Kuji Mizutani and the others, keep a certain distance, and once the battle at Kubota Castle begins, you will wait for the opportunity to support your own troops! Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hah!" Ichiro Yamamoto and Yoshima Haitaka hurriedly replied.

Soji Tsugawa nodded, and then said, "In this way, it is the main force of the Andong family in front of the family!" ”

"Yagyu Jubei, Tozawa Masashige, Tozawa Moritsuna, Kuchigi Tsumei, Nagano Masabo, Shigedo Junmitsu, a few of you are 1 mile west of Akita Ridge with your troops, here is backed by Akita Ridge, and it is a plain area, and the Ando family also has a horse riding team, so you must set up a horse fence." Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hah!"

"Akechi Mitsuhisa, Yoshikawa Hiroie, and Kawakami Tadakei, the ashigaru under the command of the three of you is the most elite five-color preparation of the family, so the three of you will serve as a reserve team, ready to support the frontal battlefield of the family at any time!" Soji Tsugawa then said to Akechi Mitsuhisa and the others, "Remember, you must wait until the battle has reached a stalemate before you go out. ”

"Hah!"

Tsugawa Soji then said to Kanna Shixin beside him, "Kanna Shixin, you take the horse team to closely watch the situation on the frontal battlefield, once the Anton family's horse team comes out, immediately go to intercept it, and you must not let the Anton family's horse team break up the formation of the family!" ”

"Yes! Lord! Kana Toishin said loudly.

"The rest will stay in their camp, waiting for my orders!" Soji Tsugawa continued.

"Hah!"

After arranging the battle order, Tsugawa Soji said loudly to the surrounding retainers, "Everyone! This battle will determine who will be the real overlord of the entire future region! Anton's family is not so easy to fight, please remember three points in this battle! ”

"First, do not be impatient, and never lead your troops out without my orders, and second, when you are in battle, do not covet the merits of the head, and wait until the battle is over; Third, all units must cooperate closely and support each other before doing so, and must not fight alone! Remember! Soji Tsugawa said loudly.

"Hah!"

....................

On the afternoon of April 22, the thirteenth year of the Astronomical Calendar, in the Anton family's main camp, Anton Shunji had just finished listening to the report of the Anton family's detective, and then said to a samurai beside him, "Dataka Tadaji, give the order, the whole army will attack the Tsugawa family's forces in Akita, it's time to let the Tsugawa family know that my Anton family is powerful!" ”

"Hah!"

In a plain area between Kanano and Akita Valley, thousands of Anto's troops were already in full battle.

As the "old overlord force" in the Yugo region, the strength of the Andong family is still very strong. The Andong family has several gold and silver mines in its territory, and also controls the river transportation of the Yoneyo River and the maritime trade of part of the Tohoku region.

Most of the soldiers of the Anton family are peasant soldiers, but even the peasant soldiers are all wearing bucket river pockets, and even some of the ashigaru are wearing carcass, although it is only a small part, but it can also be seen that the Ashigaru equipment of the Anton family is very good.

After receiving the order to attack from Anton Shunji, Matsuhashi Hidemori's team, which was the front army, took the lead in attacking the forces of the Tsugawa family not far away.

"Everyone, listen, the people of the Tsugawa family have been surrounded, as long as everyone rushes over and kills the enemy one by one, then you can easily achieve victory! The lord has already said that all the spoils obtained after the war will belong to you! Plus, you can get 2 pieces of money for each head! Matsuhashi said loudly.

"Now, everyone, rush!" Matsuhashi Hidemori suddenly pulled out the sword at his waist, pointed at the Tsugawa family in front of him, and said loudly.

"Wow!" The highly motivated Matsuhashi Hidemori team Ashigaru suddenly let out a howl and rushed towards the people of the Tsugawa family, and for a while, the horn of war had been sounded.
