Jiangma Shisheng thought that he would wait for the reinforcements sent by the Lord of Laishan County, but in his eyes, only one Qimoto Ashigaru appeared, and even this Ashigaru would leave him after conveying the order.

Seeing that the Lord of Yama County said that he would not send reinforcements when he died, Jiangma Shisheng was completely dead, and there were no reinforcements, but there was no possibility of changing the task of attacking Matsukura Castle, so he could only return to the territory immediately and start mobilizing the army as Lord Yama said.

That is to say, the harvest of taking the small island city is quite rich, and the inner island clan has no time to transport the grain and grass in the city, so that he can choose a big bargain, otherwise even if he can raise hundreds of more troops with the family background of the Jiang Ma family, I am afraid that he will run out of food before he reaches Matsukura City.

Now plus the storage of grain in the island city, at least let the Jiangma army not have to worry about the problem of food and grass in half a month, planing out the mobilization and distance, the real attack time is ten days, in Jiangma Shisheng's view, time is enough, although it should not be too smooth, however, the strength of their own army is nearly three times more than the mountain army, and their own consumption, but the other party is one less dead, so the more it is consumed, the more beneficial it is to their own army.

Just when Eima Tokimori rebelled back to the territory to mobilize Ashigaru, the two hundred defeated troops led by the Uchijima clan had already appeared outside Matsukura Castle.

As soon as they appeared, they saw a footlight in the city rushing towards the castle tower.

Due to the blockade of the Takeda Army, the Takayama clan chief and Tanaka Katsusuke did not know the news of the defeat of the Takayama clan at this moment, so the expressions on the faces of the two of them were still very relaxed.

Although the military strength of the lord's side is comparable to that of the Takeda army, the combat power of the army's own family is stronger than that of the other party. With the lord and the two military advisors in person, it was only a matter of time before he won.

Just as the two of them were chatting about the current situation casually, they only heard someone report outside: "Report to Lord Takayama, Lord Neinajima has led 200 troops outside the city, and please make a decision." ”

After listening to the report, the head of the Takayama clan couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, the Uchijima clan was guarding the small island town on the front line of the battle. He came here suddenly, and he also brought 200 troops, could it be that the island city was lost?

How is this possible. Even if he and his 300 banners can't hold this city, isn't there still 300 reinforcements from Lord Yamanuchi, 600 troops against 900 peasant soldiers and 300 monk soldiers. Even if you lose, you won't lose so quickly.

Could it be that something happened halfway? Thinking of this, the Takayama clan chief rushed out of the samurai's mansion, ignoring even the ashigaru who came to report, and went straight to the city gate.

When he saw the emaciated Uchijima clan standing outside the city, and the two hundred remnants behind him, he already knew that the last thing he wanted to see had happened.

"Lord Uonejima, you are ......" The following words, the Takayama clan still couldn't get out.

I only heard the Nechijima clan say, "Takayama-sama." The army in the lower place is exhausted, can you let them enter the city first to rest, and after entering the city, talk to the adults in detail. ”

"Quick, open the gates. Let the army enter the city. After accompanying the Uchijima clan to settle the two hundred ashigaru, they returned to the mansion, and before they could sit down, they heard the Takayama clan ask impatiently, "Uchijima-sama, how is Kojima Castle?" ”

When he finished speaking, Katsusuke Tanaka also set his eyes on the face of Ori Uinejima.

I only heard a long sigh from the Uchijima clan. Then he spoke: "Alas, the island city has been taken by the enemy, and in order to preserve more combat power for the Gao Shan family, he led his troops to come when the city was about to be breached, wanting to help the adults." ”

Although the head of the Takayama clan was ready, after the news came out of the mouth of the Uchijima clan, he still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart, and stood up suddenly, only to hear him ask loudly, "What, Kojima Castle is lost?" How could this be, the adults had promised at the assessment meeting that day that Kojima City would not be breached by the enemy, but ...... What the hell is going on? ”…,

The identity of the Nene Island clan is much higher than that of the Takayama clan, even if he loses, the other party is not qualified to question, but the Takayama clan chief is the brother-in-law of the lord, and it is not at all something that he can provoke from a small wealthy family, and he doesn't even have the idea of provoking.

"Lord Takayama doesn't know, if it's just the Jiangma family, then a hundred troops will attack, and the island city will naturally not be taken by the enemy, and it is true that the war just started, but it didn't take long for the monks of Kokubunji Temple to come to help, the enemy already has a numerical advantage, and the army has only been trained for less than two months, and it is not the opponent of those monks and soldiers at all, I think that instead of being completely annihilated by the enemy, it is better to lead the army to Matsukura Castle, and it is expected that Matsukura Castle will definitely become the next target of the enemy's attack, I also asked Takayama-sama and Tanaka-sama to make arrangements as soon as possible, and the 200 troops under his command were willing to fight side by side with the two adults. The more he spoke, the more helpless he felt, and after saying the most, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Wait, you said that the enemy has 300 monks and soldiers to support the enemy army in Kojima City, but what about Lord Yamanuchi and his new team?" When Katsusuke Tanaka finished listening, he didn't wait for the Takayama clan chief to speak, and immediately asked.

Although he felt that it was disgraceful to lead the army to retreat, he still replied: "Since the arrival of the enemy's monks, I led the army to hold out for half an hour, but I did not wait for the reinforcements of Lord Yamauchi, and at that time, the army under his command was not only physically tired, but even the morale began to decline. ”

After hearing this, the clan chief suddenly felt that it was not so simple to think about it, and there must be something wrong, otherwise, with the cautious character of Lord Yamauchi, such a situation would never have happened.

However, the military strength that the Takeda family can use has already been used, and there is no extra military strength to attack Masuda Castle, and it can be completely seen from this point that the enemy must have hidden a military force, otherwise, Yamauchi-sama has no reason not to go north to rescue.

Thinking of this, it was not good to hear the elder of the Takayama clan scream, if the enemy still had the strength to spare, once he went all the way south from Masuda Castle and launched a surprise attack on the forces of his own family that were fighting a decisive battle with the Takeda army, then the consequences would ...... The Takayama clan chief didn't dare to think about it anymore.

The two people present suddenly heard the elder scream, and their faces became more and more ugly, and they couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Lord Gao Shan, what are you?" ”

"No, now my brother is in trouble, I must save him, even if I give up this Matsukura City, I must ensure my brother's safety." After speaking, I saw the Gao Shan clan stand up violently and walk outside. (Your support is my biggest motivation.) )
