Chapter 135: Confrontation
In the council hall of Yunoo Castle, all the retainers gathered.
"Huh? Yinuo, what's going on with you? Sitting on the throne, Masato accidentally saw that Yinuo, who was unscathed yesterday, was not only injured and bandaged today, but also covered his abdomen with a thick cloth.
"Your Highness, Your Minister... Your Majesty..."Yinuo, who was discovered by Masaliang, looked a little speechless for a while.
"Your Highness, this guy must personally participate in the battle when he stormed the checkpoint set by the Dono family today, but his arm was cut by the opposing samurai during the fight. Later, on the way here, after learning that Yuno Castle had been rescued by His Highness in advance, this guy thought that he had failed to complete His Highness's task, so he was ready to commit suicide by seppuku to apologize, but fortunately I found out," Tadajiro reported on the side.
"What? Bastard" Masara was furious, and threw the teacup in his hand directly out of the way, and the teacup hit Yinuo's head directly, and then bounced to the floor. Yinuo fell to his knees motionless and obediently received the blow, but the wound in his abdomen oozed blood from the squeezing.
"Get out! Get out of here" If it weren't for seeing Yinuo injured, Masarashi would have kicked him directly, "Let Master Xuanru take care of the wounds, and immediately escort the remains of several Ashigaru who died in this battle back to Notaka Town, and give me a month to sweep the grave in the cemetery. Why don't you get out of here? ”
Yinuo kowtowed a few times, and then stumbled out of the council hall.
For the first time, several of the surrounding retainers saw that the head of the family was so angry, and they didn't dare to say anything for a while.
"Tadajiro, you can immediately lead your troops back to Mizugan Castle later. Assist Togo Heiji to stabilize the territory of the former Akasaka family, Higashiyama family, Kawachi family, and Kanmu family as soon as possible, and it is necessary to reinforce Heisa Masatada, who is expelling pirates from Mangari Castle and guarding against the Kamikura family", Masara calmed down a little, and then arranged, "Kosuke, after leaving half of the peasant soldiers, the rest of the people will be led by you to Tanoo Castle, and after meeting the troops left there, stabilize the territory there as soon as possible, and at the same time pay attention to guarding against the Kamikura family on the north bank of the Mangari River." As for Yuno Tail Castle, it will be handed over to Masahide for the time being, and Yinuo's intelligence work will also be taken over by Masahide for the time being. I'll lead my forces to join Sun Goro, and then settle the battle with the Tateishi family. ”
"Yes, Your Highness," the three of them received orders at the same time.
After a short rest at Yunoo Castle, Masarashi led 150 troops and began to march towards Sayama Castle, the castle of Tateishi Clan......
On the north bank of the Mankori River, half a mile away from Mangari Castle, in the military camp of the Uekura family, Uekura Yuno was listening to the report of his retainers.
"My lord, last night the Manyue people were hit hard, and the news that the Akasaka family's reinforcements had arrived instantly spread among the pirates, and some of the weaker pirates even withdrew from the Akasaka family's territory overnight last night, and the remaining Gubanzhong and Sugino people with more powerful forces also sent a message that they were ready to withdraw to the coast this morning", a retainer reported.
Kamikura Yuno nodded slightly, he had expected this, after the Manyue people were ambushed, the pirates who had already scattered and looted everywhere must be worried that they would follow in the footsteps of the Manyue people. When these pirates get enough benefits, of course, they will accept it when they see it. Anyway, they also completed the agreement with the Uekura family.
"My lord, my lord," a samurai walked in at this moment, "My lord, you go out of the city and take a look, and a puff of black smoke rose in the direction of the Dono family's Noo Castle. ”
Hearing this, Yuno immediately walked out of the tent, only to see a black dragon churning in the blue sky.
"Quick, let someone find out what's going on for me?" Yuno Uekura shouted. Half an hour later, an ashigaru hurriedly came back to report, "My lord, the ashigaru who was in charge of monitoring on the other side of the Tanoo Castle reported that smoke suddenly rose from the castle this morning, and then soon the several Dono families who were in charge of guarding their own family on the other side of the river also withdrew, and they didn't know what was going on on the other side of the road. Now the detective has been sent to cross the river to investigate. ”…,
"Ashigaru withdrew?" Uekura Yuno's eyes lit up when he heard this, judging from the current situation, there must be something wrong with the Tangye family. Could it be that this guy from Dono Keizong is fighting with the Tateishi family again? Now that the reinforcements of the Akasaka family on the opposite side have arrived, it must be impossible to take advantage, so it seems to be the best strategy to simply transfer the troops to the side of the Dono family to see if they can gain something.
Just as Uekura Yuno was thinking about it, another ashigaru walked in and reported, "My lord, news has come from the detectives of this family, and dozens of people have suddenly increased to Wanheli City on the other side. ”
"What? What is this guy going to do? Combined with yesterday's troops, how come they are already close to 200 people, right? Was he planning to drive away the pirates or did he have other intentions? Could it be that his target is the family? Kamikura Yu's ambition suddenly went up and down.
"Order, closely monitor the situation on the other side, and report as soon as there is news from the side of Tanoo Castle" Kamikura Yuno pondered for a long time, and finally decided. Before he figured out the intentions of Wanheli City on the other side, he decided to keep the status quo......
On the Hibibi Peninsula in Higashimatsuura, a mile west of the Tateishi family's Sayama Castle, the leader of the Mi-Ichi clan was sitting in a wooden hut and looking through the account books in detail, which recorded the materials sent by the Dono family and the Tateishi family, which was the condition of the alliance between the two families and the Mi-Ichi clan this time.
Things are sometimes unpredictable, yesterday morning the United States and the Dono family also formed an alliance against the Tateishi family, but in the afternoon came the request of the Dono family to form an alliance with the Tateishi family, although it was very unwilling, but the strength was still very weak The United States and the Izhong had to swallow their anger and agree to the proposal of the Donno family. Of course, the territory of the former Lishi family that Mei Yizhong has occupied will not be returned, and not only that, but Mei Yizhong has also received aid materials from the two families.
The Mii family turned out to be a close neighbor of the Akasaka family. Three years ago, the strong protrusion of Akasaka Shizhong began to invade the Mi-Yi family, the Mi-Yi family fought back, and the two sides fought a great battle, in that battle, the Mi-Yi family was defeated, and more than half of the samurai casualties in the family were killed, and finally the head of the Mi-Yi family had to give up the family business and fled to the Higashimatsunura Hibichi Peninsula, where pirates were prevalent, and after several years of hard work, they finally occupied a foothold here, and the area of the territory was bordered by the Tateishi family in the east and the Kamikura family in the south, holding the throat of the two families into the Hibichi Peninsula.
Suddenly, there was a noise outside.
"What's going on out there?" The leaders of the United States and Iran shouted. "My lord, smoke is rising from the direction of Dono Eijo," replied the samurai guarding the gate.
"Huh?" The leaders of the United States and Iraq stood up with a "brush", walked quickly to the outside of the house, and when they saw the black smoke in the sky, they immediately laughed, "God help the United States and the Yi family!" Quick, immediately give me the news of the Tateishi family and the Dono family. ”……
After more than an hour of walking along the trail along the Zagawa River, Masara finally came to a place less than half a mile from the Standing Ishishi family's Sayama Castle, and after another hill, he could go straight to the bottom of Sayama Castle along the flat land.
At this time, I heard the sound of killing from the other side of the mountain in the distance. Masato immediately let everyone rest in place, and then sent someone to investigate.
Ashigaru, who was scouting, quickly trotted back to Masayo, "My lord, it seems that the forces of the main family and the forces of the Standing Stone family are fighting ahead. ”
"Huh? Quick, everyone comes with me," Masarashi immediately shouted.
Standing on the top of the hill and looking down, I saw two teams of people and horses facing each other in the flat ground hundreds of meters below. Facing Masahiro was the navy team led by Sun Goro, the general of the Luo family's navy, and facing Masara was the team of the Tateishi family Kanzaburo, who had retreated in advance in the morning. …,
In fact, after Masarashi worked out the strategy of the four-way army to attack separately yesterday evening, the two detectives who were responsible for informing the general of the navy Sun Goro set off with Masara's team overnight, and when Masarashi began to sneak attack Tanoo Castle, the two detectives left alone, and then rushed to Itayawan, and finally conveyed Masara's order to Sun Goro this morning. Sun Goro, who received the order, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly mobilized 50 sailors and 30 peasant soldiers to take a boat and go straight to Tateishi's house. After arriving at the bay near Sayama Castle, Sun Goro left 30 peasant soldiers to guard the warship and then led his army to Sayama Castle.
After sending half of his troops to attack Yunoo Castle, the defenders of Sayama Castle were less than 50 men. When the guards of Sayama Castle saw the arrival of a large group of men and horses, they immediately closed the city gate and prepared to defend it to the end.
The sneak attack was fruitless, so Sun Goro had to camp outside the city, and then wait for an opportunity to attack the city. At this time, the surrounding naval army Ashigaru reported that a group of troops had come from the direction of Yunoo Castle, and now they were coming in the direction of Sayama Castle. Sun Goro immediately led his army to meet him, and when he saw it, he realized that it was the strength of the Tateishi family, and the strength was about 50 people, so he immediately blocked the road to Sayama Castle and confronted the other party.
Under normal circumstances, if the Tateishi family in Sayama Castle took the opportunity to rush out at this time, then Sun Goro would immediately fall into the danger of being attacked from the front and back. But the strange thing is that the gate of Sayama Castle is still closed, and the two sides outside the city are allowed to fight to the death, and they do not send even a single soldier or horseman.
In fact, there was a fierce collision in the city over whether or not to send troops to support Kanzaburo outside the castle. Kanzaburo's power to stay in the city strongly advocated going out of the city to support, but the rest of the original head of the family and the power of the original second head of the family firmly disagreed. The alliance with the Tangye family is advocated by your three masters, Kan Saburo, and all the benefits are also your own, not to mention that during this time, you are the three masters of the family, constantly embezzling the interests of the other two parties, and even not taking the young family head in your eyes, why do we want to take risks for you now? As a result, when the overall strength of the two opposing parties in the city was superior, Kan Saburo's side, which had only a few people left, had to cancel the plan to go out of the city to support.
"Killing" such a good opportunity, that can be missed, Zhengliang pulled out Ji Gang's words and shouted, leading 150 Luo family troops to swoop down from the mountain. From afar, the crowd is like a rushing wave.
"Ahh Enemy attack! Kanzaburo's troops, who were suddenly attacked from behind, exclaimed, and the team instantly fell into chaos.
"Ha Luha, the lord has come to support us, the little ones, kill me" Seeing this, Sun Wulang laughed, raised his sword and killed the other party with a morale-boosting water army.
At the same time, he suffered from the front and rear attacks, and the number of troops was at an absolute disadvantage, and the strength of the Tateishi family soon collapsed and fled, and even Kanzaburo was also taken by a nameless cloak of the Luo family in the chaos of the army.
After the "Your Majesty Meets Your Highness" completely defeated the other party, Sun Goro immediately came to meet Masayo.
"Hahaha, Sun Wulang, you did a good job this time" Until now, Masayo has not recovered from the surprise. The Luo family's luck was so good that they created a good opportunity to disperse and defeat the Tateishi family's forces. If this part of the people were allowed to return to the city, with the strength of about 200 people of the Luo family, they would definitely not be able to defeat Sayama Castle, which was garrisoned by more than 100 people. Now it's different, half of the Tateishi family's troops have been defeated and fled, and the number of troops defending the city is more than 50 people, which gives Masato more room to attack the city.
"Clear the battlefield immediately, and then you can lead your army back to the ship, and guard against a sneak attack by pirates on the Hibi Peninsula on the west coast of Itaya Bay," Masato ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness," Sun Goro bowed and took the order.
After leaving Sun Goro to dispose of the wounded and clean up the battlefield, Masara led more than 140 troops to the gate of Sayama Castle.
A cage battle is about to begin.
