Chapter Thirty-Nine: Breaking into the Nine Households

Hirozen Castle, Tsugaru-gun

Matsumae Sakurahime prayed in front of the Buddha as usual that Iyuanzhe was safe, and then either went out to ride a horse with Chizuru Apricot or learned to cook, and the entire collar treated her as a hostess under Iyuanzhe's hints, although Sakurahime had not yet married Iyuanzhe, but she gradually got used to the respectful attitude of others towards her.

On this day, Sakurahime and Chizuru returned from horseback riding, and as soon as they arrived at Otemon, they met Kawaji Morita with a smile on his face.

"Miss Sakurahime is really extraordinary, no wonder the Lord Guild is close to you!" Morita Kawaji squinted and said with a smile and bent over.

Poof~ Chizuru covered her mouth behind Sakurahime and smiled, and Sakurahime heard him say this, and her face was a little shy.

"Morita-sama, just tell me if there's anything you want!" Chizuru Xingxin asked directly in her heart.

"Yes, yes, sorry!" Morita Kawaji immediately took out the letter in his sleeve and handed it to Sakurahime and said, "Miss Sakurahime, the lord has a letter for you, and there is also a message that a child will arrive and let you take care of it first." ”

When Sakurahime heard the letter, she immediately snatched it and held it in her arms, and Chizuru Xing immediately said, "What child? He left our young lady at home and had children outside? Chizuru stepped forward and grabbed Morita Kawaji by the collar with one hand.

"Huh?" Morita Kawaji was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "No, no, it's the lord who only said that he is the son of a friend, and he will follow the lord around him like Yoshikiyo's son Yamatsumaru." ”

"That's pretty much it." Chizuru Apricot let go of her hand with a satisfied face, and Morita Kawaji hurriedly straightened her neck that was strangled with some pain.

"Thank you, Lord Morita, I will write back to you tomorrow, and I ask you to pass it on to Your Highness." Sakurahime said politely to Morita.

Morita Kawaji hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Miss is polite, polite." ”

Sakurahime hurriedly took the letter with a happy face and returned to the city with Chizuru; Morita Kawaji looked at her back with a smile on his face, of course he understood in his heart that this was the future master mother, and he was as concerned about the marriage of the lord as the rest of the followers, after all, it was related to the continuation and stability of the Iyuan family.

And Iyuanzhe, who was in Sanhe, decided to immediately send troops to Kunohe and Kani after a few days of preparation, Iwate County has been almost annexed by Kasai, and if it is repaired, Kani County may also get closer to Kasai and Date. He also understood that the army had been in a state of conquest during this time, and many soldiers were a little tired and tired, and the soldiers who came out of the base were fine, but the military strength and quality of the Kitazawa family were not as good as the soldiers at the base, and it was inevitable that there would be some complaints in his heart. But time is running out!

In the middle of October of the 17th year of the Astronomical Universe, the Igen clan led the southern armies from Ninoto to attack the Kunohe County with the southern Tengxin as the vanguard, and successfully captured most of the Kunohe County territory with the cooperation of Asada Masamitsu in the western part of the Kunohe Prefecture.

The castle was in shambles, with arrows and flames filling the entire castle, and no one paid attention to the corpses of the dead soldiers, and both sides were red-eyed, as if they were not dying.

"Your Highness Teng Xin, nearly half of my Asada army has suffered casualties, if we attack like this again, we will wait to destroy it together with the chief of the nine households!" Asada Masa, covered in blood, came to the southern part of Tengshin to observe the location of the entire battlefield, and said with great dissatisfaction.

Nan Teng Shin retracted his lookout gaze and stared at Asada Masamitsu and said, "The lord's order is to break through Kunohe Castle as soon as possible, and then attack the Closed Yi County from the northeast to cooperate with the main princess's army. Asada-sama, you should know what you will gain after this battle, and if you can't even do this loss, then I'm not going to need a mediocrity. ”

"You ......" Asada Masaman was angry for a while: "Okay! Bloody Saburo is really powerful, but you have to remember that you are now the governor of the southern family, and even if you serve the Yiyuan family, you have to take care of the interests of all ethnic groups in the south. Hum! After saying that, Asada Masamitsu turned around and drew his sword, and continued to lead the Asada army to storm Kunohe Castle.

Nanbu Tengxin squinted at the backs of the Asada people, he couldn't tolerate anyone who dared to challenge the authority of the Iyuan family, although he was now the governor of the Nanbu family, he would always only be loyal to one person, and that was Iyuan Zhe!

"An Guang, you lead two hundred people in this formation to cooperate with An Rong and their political relatives, you must break through this city as soon as possible, even if you destroy this city!" Nanfang Teng Xin looked at the battlefield filled with gunsmoke with a gloomy face.

"Oh!" The southern Yassumitsu immediately moved and led the last of his forces to join the siege force.

"Ahh "Help...... Please......" "Ah......" There was already a wail in the city, and the chief of the nine households was supporting his body with a sword with a bloody face, and the three nomaru had fallen, and the enemy arrows had even entered the city after the Ninomaru engagement, and the nine army defending in the main horse was on the verge of collapse.

Kunohe Castle is divided into three maru, the main castle is the last line of defense and the living place of the castle lord, and the two no maru and three no maru are separated by wooden planks and earthen walls and divided into different areas, one falls and the others can still be defended independently. The bloody battle had already begun, and the southern armies, totaling more than 1,800 men, had attacked more than 400 of the governors of the nine households, and it had been going on since the morning, but now it was dusk, and the difficulty of the siege battle was evident from this.

"Second brother." Nanbu Yasuei watched Nanbu Yasutsuya lead the army to attack Ninomaru and shouted happily.

"All on!" Nanfang An Guang drank loudly, then walked to An Rong's side and said, "An Rong is okay, right?" ”

"It's okay, big brother, these people can't hurt me." An Rong laughed and replied.

"Good guy, don't disgrace our southern family."

Before he could say these two words, the archers had already lit up the fire arrows and raised them to aim at the Honmaru.

"Shoot the arrows!" With the shouts of the leading samurai, the fire bolts were thrown into the city like flames leading to hell.

Whoosh...... Bang bang bang ~ There are constantly fire arrows shooting in and hitting the wooden building in Honmaru. "Ah~" There are also many Kunohe samurai who are hit by arrows.

"Ho ho hey! Ho Ho Black! "Knock it out of the way!" The political relatives red-eyed and asked his subordinates to take the wood and hit the gate of the city, the last line of defense of the Nine Household Army. The Asada army continued to sweep the forces of the nine households in Ninomaru.

"Get out of the way, set me on fire!" Seeing that he couldn't get across, he was furious and ordered his subordinates to take some fire oil and fish oil from the Fire Arrow team, and splashed them all on the gate.

Boom! The flames were ignited instantly, and the heat enveloped the people around them, but none of them retreated, they all stood outside the door and waited to break down the door and kill all the people inside.

"Lord, we did our best." A samurai knelt down on one knee beside the chief of the nine households, his face full of unwillingness and a little tear in the corner of his eyes.

The chief of the nine households clenched his teeth, his hair was already in a mess, and he picked up the knife and looked at the cold blade: "Bai Cut!" I won't be able to fight with you anymore. ”

"Eh, roar~" There was an earth-shattering cheer outside the city in an instant, bang! There was a loud noise, and the burned wooden door was slammed open.

"Rush in!" Under the orders of the political relatives, several samurai took the lead in rushing in, whooshing! But they were greeted by arrows of death, and several of them were shot to the ground after rushing through the door, and the others stopped at the door.

With his hair scattered and his hands holding a sword, he shouted to the politician at the door: "I am the chief of the nine households, and I want my life, come!" ”

"Humph!" Masato stepped forward with a saber in hand and shouted, "Rush in." ”

"Yikes!" The subordinates immediately rushed into the city with a strange scream, and the two family masa fought bravely with a saber in their hands, and then Yasutsu and Asada and others also led their troops into the city one after another, and the nine family governors were killed in the chaos, and the rest of the nine samurai were all killed without surrendering.

The capture of the castle marked the end of the Battle of Kunohe Castle.
