Five miles north of the Butai Square Pavilion is where the Tsugawa family's main camp is located. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Half an hour ago, Soji Tsugawa arrived here with his army, and while the forces of the southern family were attacking the Fangkan, he sent the cavalry of the Tsugawa family to attack the rear of the southern Harumasa.

Originally, all that was left was to disrupt the southern family's position, so that the southern family would give up attacking the Bullyfang Pavilion. Unexpectedly, the horse riding team actually scattered the main formation of Nanbu Harumasa in an instant, if it weren't for Nanbu Harumasa running fast, maybe the Tsugawa family would have been cheering for victory at this time.

Among the thousands of troops of the Tsugawa family, the 500 troops of the Hachibai Michiwei and the Tohi family were the former army, the second formation was the two ashigaru squadrons of the Kailong Yoshizane team and the Kuchiki Tsumei team, and the main formation was the 400 ashigaru team led by Takahashi Koke of Ueno Castle. In the rear is Miki Naogo's Blue Reserve, which serves as the palace army and serves as the reserve for this joint battle. On the left flank were the 500 troops of Hirohiro Tsumi and Shuichiro Yagyu, and on the right flank were the troops of the vassal countrymen such as Akao Tsuieho and Mitsuhisa Lost Island.

At this time, except for the Hachibai Daowei and Tohi relatives and others in the front battle, most of the retainers gathered in the main camp to discuss the next battle.

Soji Tsugawa pointed to a simple map in front of him, looked around at the people in the camp, and said, "Everyone! Most of the forces of the southern family are located in the northern part of the Bunai Pavilion, on the west bank of the Kitakami River less than 3 miles away from us, and the southern and western parts of the Bunai Pavilion, such as the Barnyard Family, the Azenuma Family, and the Ufu Family, are the troops of the people of the Closed Yi County and Tono County."

"The southern family on the north side has about 2,000 troops, and the barnyard family and other wealthy coalition forces also have nearly 2,000 people. Some of the family's forces are still in places such as the Pig Imperial Palace and Morioka Castle, so in a short period of time, the family will have to face the enemy army of 4,000 people with a force of 3,200 people, although the family does not have an advantage in numbers, but the family also believes that even so, it will not be difficult for the family to win! ”

"Nakata Shinzaburo, the iron artillery team under your command will be the main force of the family's battle next, and the next thing is to keep the iron artillery team in the best condition for the next big battle." Soharu Tsugawa kept saying to his retainers in the main camp.

In this battle, Shimazu and Saburo's iron artillery team did not all arrive, only a squadron of Nakata Shinzaburo, and the rest of Ashigaru continued to stay in Minezawa Castle for training. Now the Tsugawa family's iron artillery team has been training according to the three-stage strike mode suggested by Tsugawa Soji, but the training time is not long, and it is unknown what kind of power it can exert in real combat.

"In the face of the current situation, you can now say what you think." After Tsugawa Soji finished speaking, he sat down and waited for the advice of his retainers.

Tsugawa Soji always has the habit of listening to the views of his retainers whenever there is a major event, and the so-called everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and Tsugawa Soji believes that this can not only better unite the retainers, but also fill in some of his own shortcomings. Although there have been a lot of large and small battles since the crossing, Tsugawa Soji knows that he has a few catties and a few taels. As the Tsugawa family continues to grow stronger, the enemies faced by the Tsugawa family are far from the small characters they used to be, so Tsugawa Soji doesn't dare to guarantee that he can count every time.

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's words, the retainers suddenly fell into deep thought.

For a long time, Takizawa Masayo, an important minister of the Takizawa family who followed the Takizawa family to participate in the war, suddenly said, "The main hall! Most of the troops in the southern country are mainly peasant soldiers, and there are only a few elite ashigaru, and they are all concentrated in the direct subordinate troops of the southern Qingzheng. Therefore, I think that once our army can achieve decisive suppression in a joint battle, then it will not be difficult to defeat the southern country. ”

Takizawa Masayo's words made many of the Tsugawa family retainers in this formation nod secretly, and the elite level of the Tsugawa family's ashigaru is very clear to the retainers. It is no exaggeration to say that a general of the Tsugawa family is usually prepared, and it is no problem to fight the peasant soldiers of the southern family in one dozen or two, or even one dozen or three.

In particular, the five-color preparation led by Yoshikawa Hiroya, Miki Naogo and others is the elite of the elite. And the most elite Taidao team did not participate in the dispatch of troops this time, but stayed in Higa-hojo to assist Takahashi Kokoku and others to guard against the wealthy forces in the Shonai area.

"My lord! I also think that my family can quickly launch a general attack and kill the southern family by surprise! I believe that with the elite of my family's troops, I will be able to defeat the southern family in one fell swoop! Shuichiro Yagyu also spoke up at this time.

Seeing the retainers in this camp arrogant and self-confident, Tsugawa Soji was actually not happy in his heart, on the contrary, he was still a little worried. The truth that the arrogant army will be defeated, Tsugawa Soji is very clear, so in the face of the attitude of the retainers, Tsugawa Soji immediately said with a straight face, "Bastard! ”

"The strength of this family is naturally elite, there is no doubt about it! But do you really think that you can win with Ashigaru's numbers and ashigaru's elite? Tsugawa Soji's face was full of anger, "Fighting depends on brains, not the courage of a horseman!" The reason why this family has been able to defeat the enemy repeatedly in the past is because of the unity of the whole family, the all-out efforts of the family, and the seriousness of every enemy in the family, no matter whether he is stronger or weaker than the family!"

"Look at the way you are now holding a victory, if everyone thinks that our family has won this time, then our family is not far from defeat!" Tsugawa Soji's slightly disappointed tone was like a heavy hammer hammer on the hearts of his retainers.

After listening to Tsugawa Soji's words, many retainers showed a look of shame.

Regarding the psychology of the retainers, Tsugawa Soji actually understands it very well. After all, since he crossed over, the Tsugawa family has really not tasted defeat, and under such a glorious record, in fact, not only the retainers, but sometimes Tsugawa Soji feels like he is invincible in the world. However, reason told Soji Tsugawa that it was better not to have such thoughts, and generally people with such thoughts died miserably in the end.

Yodogawa City Lord Miki Naogo slowly opened his mouth at this time, "My lord! In the following opinion, although the total strength of the southern family is more than the main family! However, the military composition of the southern family is mixed, and all the wealthy families have it. ”

"And there have been more or less grievances between the various wealthy families. I think that the strength of the southern family may not be able to exert much combat power, as long as the family concentrates its troops to attack a little, I believe that the southern family will definitely not be able to stop the attack of the family! Miki Naogo said with a calm face, as if he hadn't spoken just now.

After listening to Miki Naogo's words, Tsugawa Soji couldn't help but gently tap his leg with his hand, as if considering the feasibility of what Miki Naogo said.

"Definitely! The troops on the southern side are all united by various wealthy clans, first of all, it is a difficult problem in the deployment and command, coupled with the grievances and grievances between the wealthy clans, maybe after the real fight, many wealthy clans will not do their best. Soji Tsugawa thought the same thing in his heart.

Just as Soji Tsugawa raised his head and was about to say something, the figure of Takahashi Xingjia suddenly appeared in the main formation........
