Chapter 695: Ishikawa Castle Has Fallen!
Looking at Kogoro Kuroishi and the others who were surrounded by his own side in front of him, Togo Yoshisuke suddenly felt that his anger for so many days had suddenly decreased by half.
It's so relieving!
"Fence these bandits for me, and I can't let anyone go!" Togo Yoshiyu waved his hand, and dozens of ashigaru behind him began to press up.
At this time, the situation on the battlefield was directly reversed, and the bandits who were arrogant before suddenly lost their previous domineering, and they looked at the Tsugawa family who was waiting beside them one by one, and their faces were full of horror!
Kogoro Kuroshi was also resolute, knowing that he would not be able to run now, he simply walked to the front of the battle with a sword in one hand, "The rats of the Tsugawa family, even if I, Kogoro Kuroishi, die here today, I want you to know that not only the Tsugawa family has warriors in this world!"
"Kill me!" Kogoro Kuroishi rushed directly towards Togo Yoshisuke with a hideous face, and behind him there were several bandits who were not afraid of death and followed Kogoro Kuroishi.
Of course, more bandits chose to retreat, or rather give up resistance......
Seeing that Kogoro Kuroishi and the others still wanted to choose the trapped beast to fight, Togo Yoshiyu suddenly stopped doing it, "Kill me!" ”
Of course, Togo Yoshiyu didn't dare to rush out, and he knew very well how many pounds and taels Togo Yoshiyu was, so he directly let his subordinate Ashigaru rush up.
Kogoro Kuroishi and the others were immediately surrounded by twenty or thirty Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family.
Kogoro Kuroishi is worthy of being a samurai with good martial arts, and even under heavy surroundment, he still bursts out with strong combat effectiveness!
The Taidao in his hand continued to swing a sharp blade, blocking the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru who was trying to get closer, and from time to time, one or two Tsukawa family's Ashigaru would be injured and fall to the ground, or they would be directly cut off their heads.
However, after a quarter of an hour, Kogoro Kuroishi's offensive slowed down.
Such a high-intensity battle made Kuroishi Kogoro's physical strength consume too quickly, and the ashigaru under the command of Togo Yoshisuke was not the Ozaki Osamu and others just now, they were all elite ashigaru who had been trained in a hundred battles.
Just now, he was just caught off guard by Kogoro Kuroishi, and now that the front is stable, the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family has also begun to fight back.
With a squad as a unit, the three squads lined up in three rows, and the spears in their hands kept stabbing at Kogoro Kuroishi.
In the past, the combat method of spear ashigaru was mostly slapping with spears, and it turned out that the effect of such attacks was extremely bad, until later, the standing ashigaru of the Tsugawa family began to train the attack method based on stabbing attacks, and suddenly improved their combat effectiveness a lot.
This attack is similar to the famous "Macedonian phalanx" and somewhat similar to the Roman spear phalanx, and what is missing may be just a shield, but in the country, shields are obviously not needed.
Thirty ashigaru stabbed incessantly, and even the most powerful samurai had no power to parry.
The two and three thieves beside Kogoro Kuroishi died in an instant, and Kogoro Kuroishi could only barely struggle, but there were also several wounds on his body, large and small, and he looked like he couldn't hold on.
"The Tsugawa family's Ashigaru is really strong, but I, Kogoro Kuroishi, won't just admit defeat!" Kogoro Kuroishi spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth, then picked up the spear that had fallen from the ground and rushed towards the ashiki of the Tsugawa family in a daze..........
.....
The battle ended here, and Togo Yoshisuke looked at the head of Kogoro Kuroishi held by a leading samurai on the side with an expressionless face, and then looked at the more than ten surrendered bandits kneeling in front of him with a victorious attitude, "Bring these people back to Ishikawa Castle and keep them under strict care!" And tortured the whereabouts of the rest of the bandits, after so many days, it was not easy to finally let the family win once! ”
"Yes! With tonight's victory, I believe the other bandits will have to stop for a while. If the identities or whereabouts of the rest of the bandits can be found out from these people, then the subsequent liquidation of the bandits will seem to be very smooth. The Rujing Nagalian on the side also agreed and said.
However, Togo's joy was destined to be short-lived and futile.
Just as Togo Yoshisuke was immersed in the joy of eliminating a group of bandits, a panicked figure suddenly appeared in front of Togo Yoshiyu's eyes.
"Yasuke, aren't you supposed to be in Ishikawa Castle?" Looking at Yasuke with a panicked face in front of him, Togo Yoshisuke suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
Yasuke, who was previously a peasant soldier at the Aasekan in Akita County, later went through something indescribable and joined the Tsugawa family (Chapter 260 was 404, Yoshihiro panicked!) Yasuke's deeds were originally in chapter 260, and I believe that there should be book friends who have read it to remember some, but for the new book friends, Kira can only express regret. )。 So far, he has been promoted to lead the samurai, and this time he sent troops to support Dakoji Castle, and Togo Yoshisuke asked Yasuke and more than 20 peasant soldiers to stay in Ishikawa Castle, and now Yasuke suddenly appeared here, doesn't it say.......
"Togo-sama is not good! Not long after the lord led his troops out of the city, Ishikawa Castle was attacked by more than 100 bandits. After fighting desperately for nearly half an hour, the enemy was outnumbered, and Ishikawa Castle had been occupied by bandits. Yasuke said with tears in his eyes.
"What!" Hearing Yasuke's words, Togo Yoshisuke couldn't believe it, and then suddenly looked at the more than ten bandits kneeling on the ground, and then looked at his side, Togo Yoshisuke seemed to suddenly understand something, "This is the news that the enemy deliberately released, the purpose is to lure me to take the strength of Ishikawa Castle out of the city, so that the enemy can easily capture Ishikawa Castle, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack!" ”
Thinking that Soji Tsugawa had entrusted himself with the task of governing the Mutsu region, but now that it has developed into what it is now, Togo Yoshisuke even has the heart to cut his stomach!
"What's going on in Ishikawa Castle right now? What about the bandits! Togo Yoshiyu hurriedly shook Yasuke's shoulders and said eagerly.
Speaking of this, Yasuke's eyes were even redder and he said, "After the bandits occupied Ishikawa Castle, they began to set fire everywhere in the castle, and not only that, but the castle town of Ishikawa Castle was also looted!" The storehouse where the grain was stored in the city was also set on fire......"
"Bastard! Bastard! Togo Yoshisuke was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but there were nearly 30,000 stone grain and grass stored in Ishikawa Castle, and now that the grain in Ishikawa Castle was burned, then the Tsugawa family in the entire Tsugaru region would face an embarrassing situation of no food.
Of course, more importantly, if the news of Ishikawa Castle's capture by bandits spreads to other parts of the Mutsu region, it will inevitably cause a new wave of unrest! After all, even the largest castle in the Tsugaru region was captured by bandits, so is there a castle that bandits can't defeat?
In this way, the morale of the bandit side will definitely be high, and the Tsugawa family will probably be uncomfortable!
"Quick! Let's head to Ishikawa Castle right away, but hopefully it's still too late! ”
