On June 18, the second day after the southern family surrounded the pig and went to the palace. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The battlefield has begun to be filled with a strong atmosphere of war, and the pig went to the castle tower of the palace to watch the thousands of southern soldiers outside the city. The only thing they could do now was to hold their spears tightly and wait for the samurai's command.

Most of the troops in the Pig Go Imperial Palace belong to the troops of Pig to Kanyi and Shizukuishi Kansada, and a small part belong to the troops of Iwashimizu Yoshitada, who surrendered, but the number is very small, only forty or fifty people.

At this time, Pig Quan Yi and Shizukuishi Kanzhen also stood on the castle tower in a pitch-black carcass "majestic", at least the ashigaru people in the city thought so. However, what the Ashigaru people didn't see was the worry in the eyes of Inogo and Shizukuishi.

"Saburo, it seems that the southern family is not in a hurry to attack, but wants to put pressure on us and lower the morale of the ashigaru!" Shizukuishi looked at the southern family soldiers outside the city, who had already set up a formation but had not launched an attack for a long time, and said slowly.

Zhu went to Quanyi nodded, and then said, "The southern family has 3,000 troops outside the city, and it is extremely difficult to hold the city, all we can do is to hold it for a few more days and wait for the reinforcements from the Tsugawa family to arrive." ”

"Speaking of the Tsukawa family, what news is coming?" Pig asked.

Shizukuishi shook his head and said helplessly, "The Tsugawa Hall has sent someone to reply, but the Tsugawa family's troops are still in emergency mobilization, and if nothing happens, they should be able to arrive within 5 days." ”

"That means we're going to go to the palace to block the attack of the southern family for at least 5 days?" Pig went to Quanyi and said with a solemn face.

"Alas!" Shizukuishi sighed and said, "Compared to the reinforcements of the Tsugawa family, I'm actually more worried about Spo Quanzhen's side. The barnyard Guanqing family has already taken refuge in the southern family, and now that Si Bo Quanzhen has retreated and cannot come to the Fang Pavilion, if he does not come to the Fang Pavilion and loses it, the situation will be even more difficult. ”

"It's a pity that we failed to detect the conspiracy of the Barnyard Guan family and the southern family in time, otherwise with the strength of our own family, how could we have lost so badly?" The pig went to Quanyi and said with an unwilling face.

"It's useless to say anything now, let's think about what we can do to block the attack of 3,000 enemy troops." Shizukuishi was not optimistic about this cage battle, and said with a negative face.

The pig did not answer, but once again turned his gaze to the southern troops outside the city, and fell silent.

At this time, Iwashimizu Yoshitada suddenly came to the side of Inogo Kanyoshi and Shizukuishi Kansada and said, "Inogo Adult, Shizukuishi-sama, the ashigaru in the city has been mobilized. Although the morale of the ashigaru is generally not high, at least it has not reached the point where they cannot fight. ”

"Lord Iwashimizu, no matter what grievances you and I had before. But now it's about the survival of our family, so please put aside your past suspicions and fight side by side with us. Shizukuishi looked at Iwashimizu Yoshitada beside him and said with a sincere face.

Iwashimizu Yoshitada is a diehard loyalist of the Spo family, which Pig to Quanyi and Shizukuishi Kansada, who know very well. Strictly speaking, the Iwashimizu family is not a retainer of the Pudai family of the Spo family, and the Iwashimizu family has been working for the Spo family since Yoshitaka Iwashimizu. Iwashimizu Yoshitada is the younger brother of Iwashimizu Yoshitaka.

In that year, when the Spo family and the Tsugawa family were fighting, Iwashimizu Yoshitaka took the initiative to serve as the palace army to cover the retreat of Pig and Tsukawa, and finally died in battle. Later, Iwashimizu Yoshitaka's Zhixing was inherited by Iwashimizu Yoshitada, and the Iwashimizu family also separated from the Inogo family and became a direct minister of the Spo family.

A few days ago, when Pig went to Kanyoshi and Shizukuishi Kansada to attack Abe Castle and Ishishimizu Castle, Iwashimizu Yoshitada resisted extremely strongly. Later, Pig went to Quanyi to threaten Yoshitaka Iwashimizu's family (Yoshitaka Iwashimizu's family was left at the Pig Go Imperial Palace at that time), which forced Yoshitada Iwashimizu to surrender. Therefore, Shizukuishi was worried that Iwasuizu Yoshitada would have a grudge against this, so he took the initiative to express his attitude to Iwasuizu Yoshitada.

Iwashimizu Yoshitada was stunned after listening to Shizukuishi's words, and then said, "Shizukuishi-sama, we fought separately before, and it was really helpless. Now that the southern family is invading, as a warrior of the Spo family, he should naturally die for the Spo family! Please rest assured that although your ability is mediocre, you are willing to fight for the last drop of blood for the Spo family like a dead brother! ”

"Good!" Shizukuishi said excitedly, "Worthy of being the younger brother of Yoshitaka-sama, Lord Iwashimizu's words are worthy of the way of the samurai!" After repelling the southern family, he decided to personally come to the door to ask for the guilt! "It was Shizukuishi who offered Yoshitaka Iwashimizu to blackmail Iwashimizu Yoshitada's family that day, so Shizukuishi said this.

Iwashimizu Yoshitada glanced at Shizukuishi in surprise. Iwasuizu Yoshitada didn't expect Shizukuishi to be so "deeply righteous", but Iwashimizu Yoshitada was still happy to see Shizukuishi so "honest", so he hurriedly said, "Okay! Then wait until you repel the southern family, and then wait for Shizukuishi-sama to come in the house! ”

“wuwuwwu!“ Just as Iwashimi Yoshitada, Shizukuishi and the others were talking, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, making the faces of Iwashimizu Yoshitada and the others change.

"The southern family has blown the conch, ready to meet the enemy!"

"Archer prepare!"

"Bring up the prepared stones!"

"Shigeto archers are in place quickly!"

As an urgent and hasty order continued to emerge from the mouth of the pig, the whole pig went to the palace and began to sao chaos.

Outside the city, the stone turtle letter house ordered to blow the conch of attack. With the sound of the conch, the hundreds of stone turtles at the north gate of the entire pig to the north gate of the palace began to howl and rushed towards the pig to the palace.

"Everyone told me that whoever climbed the tower first would be rewarded with a hundred dollars! Capture the city, and each person will be rewarded with 5 yuan! Give me all rush! "In order to be the first to attack the city, the stone turtle letter house also endured the pain. The stone turtle family has 300 troops in this battle, and if each person is 5, it will be more than 1,000. However, in order to get the family treasure promised by the southern Qingzheng, the stone turtle letter house was also released.

As the shouts of the stone turtle letter room sounded, the ashigaru of the stone turtle family also turned red. After fighting so many battles with the stone turtle letter, and hearing the word "reward" from the mouth of the stone turtle letter room for the first time, they suddenly began to rush towards the pig to go to the palace one by one.

Kogi Heijiro is an ordinary samurai of the Ishikame family, and his annual salary is only 15 koku, which is only equivalent to a standing ashigaru of the Tsugawa family. Since becoming a samurai, Kogi Heijiro's daily expenses have gradually increased, and he has two wives and several children at home, so in order to make his family live a good life, Kogi Heijiro has also shown extraordinary efforts.

"The reward is mine! Don't even rob me! Shouting and screaming, Heijiro Kogi rushed to the castle wall where the pig went to the palace, and eagerly began to climb the castle wall. However, in the face of the huge reward, the ashigaru of the stone turtle family couldn't care so much, and those who were not willing to lag behind also climbed up the castle tower.
