Chapter 54: Ride the Tide

Half an hour later, the battle gradually subsided. Except for a small number of samurai who fled, most of the die-hard samurai of the two coalition forces of Kogi and Fujiwara had been killed, while most of the peasants of the two families had fled, and a small number of those who could not escape had also surrendered. Of course, the Luo family also suffered casualties for the first time, one ashigaru was killed in battle, two ashigaru were injured, and even if they recovered, they could no longer participate in the battle.

"Haha, you also have today", looking at the corpses of Fujiwara Heinobu and Ogi Daizo collected from the battlefield, Tahara Tadayoshi Haha ”

"Congratulations to Tadashi for this great victory," Masarashi congratulated behind him. The surrounding Luo family cloak people faintly surrounded the people of the Tahara family, who were already exhausted.

"It's... Or do you rely on the support of Lord Masa-ra", Tahara Tadashi's face turned red, and in order to hide his embarrassment, he quickly said with a smile, "Lord Masa-sama, I don't know what Lu Dao plans to do with these captives and captured weapons?" In fact, Tahara Tadayoshi now regrets that the reward promised just now is too much, and he is ready to test Masayoshi's thoughts, after all, this time the territory has suffered heavy losses, and it is good to be able to fight for it as much as possible.

"Oh, what do you think Tadashi should do with you?" , Masarashi smiled slightly, and at the same time slowly pulled out Yoshioka Ichishu from his waist.

"This...", Tahara Tadayoshi was about to say what he thought, when he suddenly saw Yoshioka's writing in Masaliang's hand, his face immediately changed greatly, and he hurriedly took a few steps back, stammering and asking, "You... You... Who the hell are you? What is the relationship between Slate Stone and you? The people behind Tadahara Tadayoshi saw that the face of the head of the family had changed drastically, and they immediately stood up vigilantly.

"Kill", Zhengliang pointed at the long knife and shouted.

"Whoosh", "Whoosh", "Whoosh...... The people of the Luo family, who had already prepared it on the side, immediately released their arrows. Tadashi Tadahara and several others were shot into hedgehogs in an instant.

"Ahh Slate Lord, I'll be waiting for you below. Before he died, Tahara Tadayoshi's eyes widened, and he shouted with a hideous face. Poor Slate Stone, even though he is dead, has become the object of someone else's curse.

After eliminating the last enemy, Masarashi inserted Yoshioka back into the scabbard, waved his hand and motioned to the surrounding cloaks to clean up the battlefield, and then turned to the retainers who had gathered behind him and asked, "How is the situation now?" ”

"Your Highness, according to preliminary statistics, there are more than thirty corpses on the battlefield, and more than twenty wounded from three families. This time, more than 40 prisoners of war were captured by the family, and the rest of the peasants and soldiers had already fled. According to the captives, most of the samurai and retainers of the Ogi family and the Fujiwara family have been killed in battle, but some have escaped, including the son of Ogi Daizo," reported Onishi Kuniji bowing in a salute.

"Well, time is pressing, Kuniji, Hiromune, you immediately gather people to act according to the plan, and it must be completed tonight", Masarashi quickly ordered, "Tadajiro, you lead twenty ashigaru to be responsible for cleaning up the battlefield." ”

"Yes, Your Highness," and the crowd took the order. According to the plan, after defeating the two coalition armies, more than 50 people led by Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune immediately followed the defeated forces of the two families to capture Fujidaira Castle and Cheki Castle, while Tadajiro was left behind to clean up the battlefield and clean up the scattered rangers scattered in the fields. Masara is sitting in Tashiro Castle and commanding in the center, of course, the more important reason is that the troops who stayed in the territory of the Harada family are only about forty people even if they are injured, and in order to prevent the scattered guerrillas from uniting to attack Tashiro Castle, as the strongest combat force in the territory, Masara has to stay and sit in the town in person.

After hastily gathering everyone and ordering everyone to prepare tonight's meal (this was specially arranged by Masara before he set out from Tashiro Castle, the main thing was to ensure that his physical strength could be quickly replenished after a quick afternoon of marching), and then the two teams of men and horses began to march. Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune also knew that they must quickly take down the territory of the Kogi family and the Fujiwara family before the surrounding "yellow birds" react, otherwise the Luo family, which had just gained a foothold, would immediately fall into the predicament of being fought for territory by the surrounding powers. …,

Along the way, everyone trotted forward, thanks to the cross-country morning run in the morning, in just a few miles, although there were many mountain roads, everyone was still able to barely maintain the formation. Along the way, they encountered many peasant soldiers who had just left the battlefield, and the two teams of Onishi Kuniji and Tsuda Hiromune did not pay any attention, but these peasant soldiers who had just escaped mistakenly thought that this team was here to chase and kill them, and fled into the nearby mountains and forests without thinking.

An hour later, Tsuda Hiromune led his team through several woods and took the lead in reaching the vicinity of Cheki Castle, which was closest to the battlefield in the morning. After a short rest in the woods, Tsuda Hiromune immediately led the crowd to kill Cheki Castle. At this time, Chemu Castle had just received the news that the lord had been defeated and killed, and the people of the Kogi family who stayed in the city were arguing about whether to stick to the city or abandon the city and flee, and the dozen or so Ashigaru who were responsible for guarding the city were also panicked at this time, for fear that the enemy army would crush the territory.

"Look, what's that," shouted an ashigaru on the earthen wall, pointing in the direction of the west side of the castle. The guards looked in the direction that Ashigaru was pointing, and saw dozens of unknown soldiers rapidly approaching the castle, and ten samurai wearing white eagle cloaks were running at the front. "Ahh It's them. Those guys who had just come back to report on the terrifying forces that defeated the lord's land," another ashigaru suddenly shouted. Apparently these white cloaks made a great impression on the routed peasant soldiers.

"Enemy attack, quick! Close the gates," Ashigaru on the castle wall shouted at the two ashigara guarding the gate. One of the ashigaru guarding the gate was about to close the gate, but the other ashigaru suddenly stretched out his hand to stop him, "What's the use of closing the gate?" The lord of this family has been taken over, even if he temporarily holds on to the city now, once the other party's army arrives, can we hold it with a few of us? Once the city gate is closed, we will live and die with the Xiaomu family. But what do they usually do to us? I can't even feed myself with the grain and straw I gave", it was Yinuo who spoke.

"That, that, what do you say", Ashigaru, who was about to close the city gate, was obviously moved.

"Surrender to those adults, even if you don't surrender, you have to leave immediately, otherwise you are likely to be affected and killed," Yinuo said, "I'm ready to surrender to those adults, what about you?" ”

"Me?" , The gatekeeper hesitated slightly, thought about it, and gritted his teeth and said, "I also surrender." Seek wealth in danger. The two of them quickly told the others about the results of the discussion, and everyone responded. And the people of the Kogi family, who were originally in charge of the commander-in-chief's guards, didn't know what to do at all, and the ashigaru outside had turned against him. On behalf of everyone, Yinuo expressed his desire to surrender to Tsuda Hiromune, who arrived in a hurry, and Tsuda Hiromune immediately laughed, and immediately expressed his willingness to accept their surrender, and said that the lord would definitely give a reward. The surrender was overjoyed.

With the cooperation of the castle defender, Tsuda Hiromune quickly took control of the castle gate, and then quickly rushed to the place where the Kogi family in the castle gathered everyone to discuss.

Compared to Tsuda Hiromune, due to the greater distance, it took Onishi Kuniji nearly an hour and a half to arrive near Fujidaira Castle. At this time, the defeated Fujiwara peasant soldiers had not yet returned to their homes, so everyone in Fujidaira Castle thought that the lord was leading his own army and attacking the territory like a bamboo. What's more serious is that in order to prevent the nearby Haoqiang from taking advantage of the emptiness of the territory to send troops to attack the territory, most of the more than 20 ashigaru who were responsible for staying behind were also sent to the checkpoints at the border of the territory to guard. It can be said that now Fujidaira Castle is like a beauty with open legs, ready to be picked.

Seeing that the city gate was wide open and there was only one ashigaru guarded Fujidaira Castle, Onishi Kuniji couldn't help but be overjoyed, and without thinking about it, he immediately shouted and led everyone straight to Fujidaira Castle without any pause. Ashigaru, who was guarding the gate, saw a large number of enemies rushing towards the city gate, so he threw away his weapons and ran away. Onishi Guozhi occupied the city gate very smoothly, and then closed the city gate, preparing to close the gate and fight the dog. …,

After some fighting, Fujidaira Castle was soon cleared, and Onishi Kuniji sent several samurai, led by surrendered peasants, to the border checkpoint of the territory to persuade those who did not know that the Fujiwara family had perished.

At this point, the Fujiwara family, which was once destroyed and then miraculously recovered, finally disappeared completely in the long river of history.

At this time, Masayo, who was in Tashiro Castle, was busy settling down. He first arranged for twenty ashigaru to go to the junction of the Tahara family and the Tagara family to re-guard the checkpoint, and no one was allowed to enter or leave. Then, accompanied by Kosuke, he personally went to the town to appease the surrounding townspeople and stabilize people's hearts. In the end, Masato personally instructed the wounded captive peasants and soldiers to heal their wounds, after all, they would soon be his own people. In order to win hearts and minds, he even allowed the wounded peasants to return to their homes, which was greatly supported by the townspeople outside Tashiro Castle. Of course, for seriously injured personnel, they can only resign themselves to fate, and Zhengliang is not omnipotent, and he is helpless against this. After the inspection, Kosuke was left outside the castle and secretly kept a close eye on suspicious people among the townspeople. Tadajiro led some of Ashigaru patrolling around the new territory, catching suspicious characters and guerrillas who were still roaming the wilderness.

In the evening, Togo Heiji also arrived in a hurry with more than a dozen people, and at the same time brought an important news.
