The original base of the Higa Hojo family was the base of the Higa Hojo family, which was the strongest among the people of the original Yuri Prefecture, and the scale was still very large. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As a Hirayama Castle, the Higa-Hojo Castle with Sannomaru and two out of the castle can be regarded as easy to defend and difficult to attack. After several days of attacking, the Takizawa family and other wealthy clans paid dozens of casualties and could not enter the city.

However, as the Ashgaru of the Tsugawa family began to join the battlefield, the situation was very unfavorable for Higa Hojuharu and others.

Inside the Higa Hojo Castle Castle Castle Guard, Higa-Hojuharu and Serita Mitsumi held an emergency military meeting.

After being rejected by Tsugawa Soji twice in the past two days, Higa's Hojuharu and Serita Mitsumi finally gave up. Since both horizontal and vertical are one death, it is better to fight hard and fight for a glimmer of life. Although everyone knows that this is not possible, who wants to sit and wait for death?

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Tsugawa family's forces arrived outside the castle yesterday, and they will attack Higahojo today and tomorrow. How can we resist the Tsugawa family? Sitting on the throne, Niga said worriedly to the people in the hall.

After listening to Ringa Baojuqing's words, everyone in the hall was silent for a while. Whether it was a retainer of the Higa Ho family or a retainer of the Serita family, they all knew that without the support of other forces, it would be impossible to block the attack of the Tsugawa family with the strength of the two families alone.

But now, I can only follow the master's family to the dark. As for surrender? Whatever you say, you'll have to wait until the city falls.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Higa-ho Juqing closed his eyes and said dejectedly, "Everyone, I don't care what everyone thinks in their hearts. However, as long as I, Hiriga Hoharu, are not dead, then it will be impossible for the Tsugawa family to attack the castle! ”

"There's only one way to take the castle, and that's to step over my corpse!" Higa-ho Juharu suddenly opened his eyes and said loudly, "My Higa-ho family has a history of hundreds of years in Yuri County, and the Tsugawa family is just a newly rising wealthy family, even if it is strong, I don't want to be caught." ”

"Although the Dabaosi family did not send troops to support us, we are not without the strength to fight." If Higa wants to muster the courage of his retainers and defend the city, it is impossible without the lives of his retainers.

After saying that, Higa-ho Juharu suddenly said to a samurai sitting below, "Lord Anton, would you like to defend the castle with me?" ”

The samurai suddenly heard Niga Ho Juqing call himself, his body shook involuntarily, and then he said helplessly, "Lord Nigaho, the Tsugawa family is the sworn enemy of this family. It's a huge country of dewa.,There's no place for us except for the Higa family.,Originally and the Higa-ho family co-existed and died.。 ”

The samurai is the old Ando Tsuki of the original Minato family, and sitting next to Anton Tsuki are Shirane Masayoshi and Toshima Shigemasa.

Since the last time he fled from Minatojo, Anton Toki and the others first went to the Akao Tsu family to no avail, and then found Higa Hojuharu and stayed at the Niga Ho family.

After receiving Anton's affirmative reply, Higa-ho Juqing nodded with satisfaction, and said loudly to the others in the hall, "Everyone, even Lord Anton, who is a guest general, is willing to live and die for my Higa-ho family, are you willing to be a turtle with a shrunken head?" ”

A retainer of the Niga Ho family immediately said loudly, "My lord! There are no cowards in this family, I am Zhengmu Chunzhong, who died for the Lord! ”

"I, Harimasa Akaishi, have lived and died with the main family!" The city lord of Akaishi City, Akaishi Harumasa, also echoed loudly.

"Good!" Higaho said loudly, "The main thing is that we all work together, even if it's the Tsugawa family?" If you want to capture my Ringa Castle, you will have to pay the price! ”

Just as the hall was full of arrogance for a while, a footlight strode in from the outside and said loudly, "Oh no, the enemy army has begun to attack the city!" ”

Higaho stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Ladies and gentlemen, the enemy army has begun to attack the city, and immediately defend it lightly!" ”

"Hah!"

...........

There were two gates in Niga, one in the south and one in the north, and the southern gate was attacked by the forces of the wealthy families such as the Takizawa family and the Yajima family, and the north gate was attacked by the Tsugawa family Ashigaru led by Yoshikei Komura.

Higa Hojuharu personally guarded the main gate with 400 men, while the south gate was defended by Mitsumi Serita and Harumasa Akaishi with more than 300 men.

On the Tsukawa family's side, the first to attack the castle tower were the Takahashi Kokoku team and the Yagyu Shuichiro team.

Shuichiro Yagyu took the lead and began to climb the castle wall to the left of the castle tower with his two squadrons, while Takahashi Kokoku ordered his Ashigaru to attack the castle gate and commanded the archers to suppress the Niga Hoke forces on the castle tower.

In a short time, Yagyu Shuichiro's team climbed over the wooden wall and rushed into the city.

"Kill! Take the tower, and come with me! Yagyu Shuiichiro held his sword high and began to rush towards the castle tower with the ashigaru behind him.

Higa's family, the head of the ashigaru family, Masaki Junzhong, with a team of more than 100 peasant soldiers, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"Masaki Junzhong is here, the rats of the Tsugawa family dare to fight with me!" Juntada Masaki slashed a Tsugawa family's ashigaru to the ground with a single sword, and then shouted loudly.

Shuichiro Yagyu immediately shouted loudly: "In the lower Yanagi Shuiichiro, come to ask for your head!" ”

Juntada Masaki and Shuichiro Yagyu immediately fought together. Juntada Masaki wielded a sword and attacked fiercely, while Shuiichiro Yagyu steadily resisted Juntada's attack. The two were equal in force, and they were inseparable for a while.

However, the peasant soldiers led by Masaki Junzhong were not having a good time, and in the face of the attack of dozens of Tsugawa family standing achigans, how could these low-morale peasant soldiers resist?

With the ashigaru of the first row of Yagyu Shuichiro's team, and the ashigaru in the back row, the peasants of Masaki Juntada's team were killed and wounded more than ten people. Seeing this, the peasants and soldiers in the back did not dare to step forward again for a while.

However, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru won't let you go, and then rushed forward to meet the Masaki Juntadashi team again.

As the battle continued, the casualties of Masaki's team continued to expand, while Yagyu's team became more and more courageous. At this time, a part of the Takahashi Kokoku team also climbed the castle tower and engaged the Niga Hojuharu team on the castle tower.

For a time, the entire north gate of Ninga Hojo was fighting.

Soji Tsugawa sat in the main camp of Mt. Nishime, condescendingly watching the battle of Higa Hojo in the distance, and Takahashi Koke beside him was constantly explaining the battle situation ahead.

"There were only a few hundred men in the castle, and most of them were temporarily mobilized peasant soldiers, facing such a strong attack from their own family. I believe that before dark, the castle will be captured by the family. Takahashi Xingjia said excitedly on the side.

"Hmm." Soji Tsugawa agreed, saying, "Without reinforcements from forces such as the Daihoji family and the Sasaki family, the Niga family and the Serita family would not have to worry at all. Send an order to Yoshikage Komura, increase the intensity of the attack, and capture the castle of Higa in one go! ”

"Hah!"
