The first and second great families fought, and when the strength was equal, the battle was very tragic. The Matsumoto family's offensive was fierce, but there was no way to break into the Tahara family.

And although the Tahara family resisted the fierce attack of the Matsumoto family, there was no way to counterattack. Between one attack and one defense, the two great families fell into the quagmire of a war of attrition, and they couldn't get out at all.

Both sides of the enemy and the enemy are locked in a bitter battle, and they will not be able to stop for a while and a half, and the casualties on both sides are accumulating, and the situation has become more and more serious.

Tahara Notsuru personally supervised the battle on the front line, and his face was extremely gloomy looking at the soldiers and horses of the Matsumoto family who were still attacking frantically. He was accompanied by several generals, all of whom also had solemn expressions.

"Patriarch, we can't just defend and not attack like this anymore, and if we continue to wear down the Matsumoto family like this, the final result will only be a lose-lose situation!" A bearded man general bowed his hand.

"Don't fight!"

Tian Yuan Yehe shouted categorically: "Don't fight, we know that if we continue to consume, it will be a lose-lose situation." The Matsumoto family must also know that we can't mess with ourselves now, and if the Matsumoto family can afford it, we can afford it too. ”

There is a lot of gambling in these words, but these generals are powerless to refute it. The Tahara family is confronting the Matsumoto family with its high walls at the moment, and it still has some upper hand if you count it seriously. Once you are greedy for merit, give up the advantage of the wall, and go out to fight directly with the Matsumoto family, then the casualties will inevitably be even greater.

Thinking of this, all the generals immediately fell silent, not daring to continue to advocate going out to meet the battle. Tian Yuan Yehe didn't say anything more, quietly staring at the brutal battle on the battlefield.

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong did not personally supervise the battle, and as a patriarch, he would not take risks under normal circumstances, and the general who led the troops was the secret ninja who had been accompanying Matsumoto Xiaoxiong.

Matsumoto Ono has been specially trained since he was a child, and after becoming a secret ninja, he was favored by Matsumoto Koo and has always stayed by his side to protect his own safety. Matsumoto Ono never disappointed Matsumoto and resisted numerous assassinations for him.

At this moment, Matsumoto Ono had a solemn look on his face, and the battle situation in front of him was not optimistic, and he saw that a morning was almost over. However, the Matsumoto family was still unable to attack the Tahara family, and with the strength of both sides equal, it was impossible to end the battle quickly. The consequence is attrition, constantly consuming the lives of soldiers on both sides.

Wounding 800 enemies and injuring 1,000 himself, such a situation is absolutely unbearable for Matsumoto Ono. He hesitated for a while, then gave a resolute order: "Withdraw the troops!" ”

"Woo woo woo ......"

The Matsumoto clan sounded the horn of the withdrawal of the army. The Japanese samurai suddenly retreated like a tide, and Matsumoto Ono was very straightforward, and immediately returned home after withdrawing.

The Matsumoto family is moving very quickly, and the Tahara family is also relieved, after all, if it continues to be consumed, the Tahara family will also not be able to bear the consequences. Now that the Matsumoto family is the first to retreat, it is beneficial to each other.

The battle came suddenly, and it went even faster, and the Matsumoto family lost the lives of more than a thousand samurai in vain! The Tahara family also killed nearly a thousand people in the battle, and in the end, no one benefited.

Tahara's face was gloomy, and he knew that the hatred between the Tahara family and the Matsumoto family had already ended, and there was no possibility of resolving it. This also means that in the days to come, the Tahara family will inevitably face the Matsumoto family, the largest family.

In vain, Matsumoto Ono hurried back to Matsumoto Town with less than two thousand samurai.

After Matsumoto Xiaoxiong, who was full of anticipation, heard the results of the battle, he was furious and shouted: "Damn, why don't you fight to the end, the Tahara family will definitely collapse before us." ”

Faced with the complaint, Matsumoto Ono was full of bitterness, and he explained: "Patriarch, the Tahara family has a high wall to rely on. If we want to attack desperately, we will inevitably pay a lot of casualties, which will lead to the end of the event, even if we win, it will be a lose-lose consequence. ”

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong was still furious: "Even if it is the consequence of losing both, what is there to fear, as long as the Tahara family is defeated." We can co-opt them, and maybe double in strength compared to what we have now. ”

With such words, Matsumoto Ono was immediately thundered, but Matsumoto Ono was his master, and even if he had any anger in his heart, he could only swallow it in his stomach. After a pause, Matsumoto Ono bowed his hand and said, "Patriarch, the fight between us and the Tahara family is not just a matter between the two clans. In addition to our two families, there is also the Uemura family and many smaller families who are eyeing us. Once the two of us lose both, these people will definitely fall into the ground at the first time. ”

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong suddenly fell silent when he heard this, he was too angry just now and didn't think too deeply. This will be reminded by Matsumoto Onoichi, when even calm down. After a moment of silence, Matsumoto said viciously, "No matter what, we must now win the refuge of the Uemura family. What can you do? ”

Matsumoto Ono is very helpless, and the Uemura family is just waiting to watch the show at the moment. There is no need to get involved at all, as long as the Matsumoto family and the Tahara family fight more happily, the greater the chance that the Uemura family will profit.

But now that he has been forced into a corner by the master of Matsumoto Koo, if Matsumoto Ono doesn't want to come up with a way, I'm afraid he will be blamed by Matsumoto Koo again.

After some deep thought, Matsumoto Ono frowned and said, "Patriarch, if we still want the Uemura family to join us now, our subordinates feel that there is only one way to do it. ”

"What's the solution, say it quickly!" Matsumoto was overjoyed.

"Subordinates can bring people to disguise themselves as members of the Tahara family, and then carry out an assassination operation against the Uemura family." Matsumoto Ono is gloomy.

"How sure is this approach?" Matsumoto said coldly.

"Five-five!" Matsumoto Ono didn't dare to say too much.

Matsumoto Xiaoxiong pondered after hearing this, and after a while, he said viciously: "Okay, you can arrange it now and get this done as soon as possible." ”

"Yes, Patriarch!" Matsumoto Ono agreed, and his figure disappeared directly into the dark corner in a flash.

Matsumoto was the only one left alone in the study, and he walked to the window and looked at the dusk sky outside, feeling very uncomfortable. The Matsumoto family was originally the largest family, but now it is facing a great crisis, and if you are not careful, it will collapse in minutes. As the patriarch, he has an unshirkable responsibility.

"No matter what, I'm going to get over this hurdle......" Matsumoto muttered, gathered his mood, and slowly left the study with his hands behind his back. Matsumoto Xiaoxiong, who is usually very arrogant, looks so rickety at the moment.
