On May 3, the thirteenth year of the Astronomical year, the battle at Tsugawa Castle was suddenly suspended. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Yesterday, although Yokote Mitsumori and others attacked Tsugawa Castle with the help of Asai Nagamichi, they even broke through Ninomaru for a time. However, as Yokote Mitsumori and Konshobo Gentaka were defeated by Osawa Kochi and Yamaguchi who rushed to support, coupled with the stubborn resistance of Takahashi Kokuni and others on the west side, Owada Mitsumi had no choice but to order the withdrawal of troops.
Owada Mitsumi and others withdrew from Tsugawa Castle, and then Yokote Mitsumori and Konshobo Gentaka also returned to their main camp in shock.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Owada family's main camp was extremely depressing.
Owada Mitsumi, Yokote Mitsumori, and Jin Chengfang Gengao sat in the main formation, and their faces were not good-looking.
Especially Yokosho Guangsheng, a face is about to burst into flames.
"Jin Chengfang Gengao, yesterday I had already attacked Ninomaru with my troops, if you hadn't been able to block Komura Yoshikage's attack, we would have celebrated the victory in the Tsugawa Castle Castle by now!" Yokote Mitsumori said angrily.
"What do you mean!" Jin Chengfang Xuangao was not happy, and said that I don't carry this pot, "It's not that the Owada family's troops are too incompetent, and they actually let the Yamaguchi people and the Tsugawa family's peasant soldiers be defeated." ā
Now Owada Mitsumi didn't do it anymore, "Yanagida Moribei was besieged by the reinforcements of the Yamaguchi people and the Tsugawa family, and he died in battle!" Who would have thought that in addition to the Yamaguchi people, there would suddenly be a big and what Osawa Kochi! ā
"That's it!" Asa Mai Nagado interrupted the argument of the people present and said loudly, "Instead of arguing about these meaningless things here, it is better to discuss the next battle!" ā
"Oh?" Jin Chengfang Xuangao turned his head and looked at the shallow dance and said, "The shallow dance is long, the person who betrays the master, there is no qualification for you to speak here!" ā
"You! You ......" Shallow Dance pointed at Jin Chengfang Xuangao, speechless with anger!
Jin Chengfang Xuangao didn't pay attention to Asa Mai Nagado, but turned his head to Yokote Mitsumori and said, "Yokote-sama, this time I, Kanazawa Hachiman Palace, sent troops in the face of your father Yoshimitsu. Right now, my Hachimangu Palace is heavily damaged, but Tsugawa Castle still hasn't been captured, and I'm not going to be accompanied by Konchengbo Gengao! Leave! ā
"Tsukasa Omiya, wait!" Yokote Guangsheng strode to the side of Jin Chengfang Xuangao, and said, "Why should Omiya Si care about the defeat at this time? On the side of Kawabe County, Lord Ando may have defeated Tsugawa Soji at this moment, and when the enemy forces in Tsugawa Castle learn about it, they will definitely scatter and flee! ā
"Humph!" Jin Chengfang Xuangao snorted coldly, then showed greedy eyes, pointed at Hengshou Guangsheng and said, "Lord Hengshou, it's not impossible for me to let Jin Chengfang Xuangao stay!" But the terms you promised me have to be changed. ā
Yokote Mitsumori's face changed, but then he returned to his original state and said, "Omiya Division, please speak." ā
Jin Chengfang Xuangao nodded at this time, and said with a smile: "What you promised before would deliver to me the 2,000 stone territory west of Yanagida Castle in Pinglu County and the 4,000 stone territory north of Yuzawa Castle, and now I want the entire Pinglu County!" ā
"Impossible!" Hengshou Guangsheng refused without thinking about it, just kidding, he didn't know if he could get a county territory from Anton's family afterwards, and his "old nest" was in Pinglu County, so it could be handed over to Jin Chengfang Xuangao?
And the shallow dance on the side was also a sneer, Ma De, I don't dare to open your mouth so much, you are a mere monk, and your ambitions are so big.
"Since Yokote-sama doesn't agree, then I'll take my leave!" Jin Chengfang Xuangao said, turned around and prepared to walk out.
However, Jin Chengfang Xuan Gao had just taken two steps before stopping. Jin Chengfang Xuangao couldn't believe it, he lowered his head and looked at a knife that had penetrated his chest, and slowly turned his head, just in time to meet the hideous expression of Hengshou Guangsheng!
"I... I...."Jin Chengfang Xuangao fell in disbelief, and before he died, Jin Chengfang Xuangao wanted to say, "I'm retreating, why don't you even keep it?" The sky is asking for a price, and you can pay it back by sitting on the ground! However, Jin Chengfang Xuangao no longer had a chance to say this.
"Tsukasa Omiya!" Ryotaro Miyamizu, who was sitting at the bottom, also reacted at this time, strode to the corpse of Gengao of the Golden Castle, and said loudly, "Omiyaji! ā
Yokote Mitsumori opened his mouth at this time and said, "Miyasui Ryotaro, a person like Jin Chengfang Xuan Gao is really not suitable for your loyalty!" Why don't you take refuge in my Yokote family, I originally intended to give you the position of a general and 4,000 stones of Yuzawa Castle, how about it? ā
Ryotaro Miyasui was stunned when he heard Yokote Mitsumori's words, to be honest, Ryotaro Miyasui was tempted. As a ronin, although Konchengbo Gentaka also values Ryotaro Miyamizu very much. But obviously, Yokote's words are more appealing.
So in front of the ronin leader and the general plus 4,000 stone Zhixing, Miyamizu Ryotaro decisively chose the latter.
Although Konshobo Gentaka died, but Miyasui Ryotaro took refuge in Yokote Mitsumori, and there was no loss at all for Yokote Mitsumori, on the contrary, as soon as Konchengbo Gentaka died, some of the things promised to Kanazawa Hachiman Palace before could be completely cashed!
"How? Is there anyone else leaving? Yokote Mitsumori turned around, and the bloody sword was still in Yokote Mitsumori's hand.
"No, no!" Asamichi Nagado and Michitoshi Nishino said with a panicked expression.
"Humph!" Yokote Guangsheng snorted coldly, and said loudly, "Tsugawa City, my Yokote Hikaru is bound to win!" Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will launch a general attack on Tsugawa Castle! Be sure to take Tsugawa Castle! ā
"Hah!"
..............
On May 4, the thirteenth year of Astronomy, Yokote Mitsumori and others, who had withdrawn from Tsugawa Castle and repaired for a day, began to attack Tsugawa Castle again.
Due to the heavy casualties of Ashigaru, and the fact that Tsugawa Castle has been badly damaged. So Komura Yoshikei directly ordered everyone to stick to Honmaru and stand by. Before the war began, Yoshikage Komura had anticipated the current situation, so he stored a large amount of food in the castle tower, which was enough to hold out until the war in Kawabe County was over.
"Kill! The whole army charged, and I captured Tsugawa Castle in one fell swoop! The first to attack this pill will be rewarded with 500 yuan! Yokote Mitsumori pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed at Tsugawa Castle in front of him and shouted loudly.
"Wow!" There must be a brave man under the heavy reward, and under the temptation of hundreds of times, whether it is the ashigaru of the Yokote family or the ronin under the command of Miyasui Ryotaro, they all burst out with full enthusiasm.
"Rush in for me! Kill! Not to be outdone, Owada Mitsumi commanded Ashigaru to rush towards Tsugawa Castle.
On the castle tower of Tsugawa Castle, Yoshikage Komura looked at the enemy troops who were constantly rushing into the city from outside the city with a solemn face, his right hand tightly holding the hilt of the sword, and a pair of tiger eyes suddenly widened.
"Shoot the arrows!" With a wave of his hand, hundreds of archers suddenly appeared on the castle tower and began to shoot at the enemy. For a time, the "dense" arrows poured down, and many of the cross-handed families had no time to dodge and died on the spot.
"The Takahashi Kokoku team was ordered to guard the gate, and Matsuoka Shuyong's team and Shimizu's Naojin team assisted from the side. Team Totoki Yoshimori and Team Tozawa Moriyoshi are ready to answer at any time. Yoshiki Komura said loudly.
"Hah!"
Although the Honmaru of Tsugawa Castle was not small, it could not accommodate hundreds of Ashigaru, so Komura Yoshikei could only order the elite troops under the command of Takahashi Kokoku and others to concentrate at the gate of the Honmaru to resist the enemy's attack.
The forces of the Yokote family continued to approach, and Takahashi Xingguo and others clenched the sword in their hands and waited for it. This is the final decisive battle, and if it can't be stopped, then Tsugawa Castle will really be lost.
Just as the two armies were about to collide together, Yoshikage Komura, who was suddenly standing on the castle tower, suddenly noticed something unusual outside Tsugawa Castle.
"That's?"
