The Honma family's forces stopped, and then sent several scouts to the nearby dense forest to find out if there were any Tsugawa family forces ambushed here.

Harujiro and Kitaro are both detectives of the Honma family of Kuchi, and they are also one of the several detectives sent out to investigate.

Walking in the dense forest, Harujiro and Kitaro were cautious, for fear that they would not only not find out about the strength of the Tsugawa family but would be discovered by the other party.

"Wait!" At this time, Harujiro suddenly grabbed Kitaro and whispered, "Kitaro, did you hear anything?" ”

Kitaro listened carefully with a suspicious expression, then shook his head and said, "There's no sound." Harujiro, are you too nervous? ”

"Nope! Definitely what's the sound! Harujiro said with a persistent face, "Footsteps!! Harujiro could clearly feel the sound of footsteps around the place he was. Although the sound was not loud, it seemed very messy, this heavy and scattered sound, Harujiro was sure that he had heard it correctly, it should be the footsteps of hundreds of people marching on Ashigaru!

"Look!" Just as Harujiro was about to listen to it again, Kitaro on the side suddenly pointed not far away and said loudly, "The Tsugawa family, who just escaped, has launched an attack on the main family!" ”

"Why did the people of the Tsugawa family suddenly go and return?" Kitaro cut away the thorns beside him, looked at the Yagyu Shuiichiro team who was rushing towards the Honma family troops outside the dense forest, and said with a puzzled expression.

Harujiro lowered his head and thought about something, and suddenly, Harujiro raised his head suddenly, "Since the people of the Tsugawa family dare to come back, it means that the Tsugawa family has no fear!" Coupled with the footsteps I just heard, could it be that there is really an ambush of the Tsugawa family here? ”

"Kill! Hirohiro Tsumi is here! ”

"Everyone, rush!"

Suddenly, in the originally quiet forest, with a sudden shouting and killing, the troops who had been wearing the bellflower banner came out of the dense forest and went straight to the troops of Yagyu Shuiichiro's team and the Honma family, who had already begun to fight.

"Harujiro, there really is an ambush!" Looking at the Tsumiki Hirohiro team, who was about to rush in front of him, Kitaro said dumbfoundedly.

"Run!" Harujiro suddenly stomped his feet and fled! And Kitaro also reacted, and immediately shouted in panic, "Harujiro, wait for me, don't leave me!" ”

It's a pity that Harujiro can't close so much at this time! Behind Nima, there are at least hundreds of Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family who are killing in his direction, if he doesn't run faster, will he die?

"Rush! The enemy army is in front, everyone kill! Tsumiki Hirohiro raised the sword in his hand high and rushed to the front. Not long ago, after learning about the previous situation from the mouth of the returning Kamo Hisashi, his wife Kihiro agreed very much with Gamo Hisaki's proposal, and without hesitation, he led his troops to cooperate with Yagyu Shuichiro's team as bait.

.........

"Look at the Taigao Palace, there are really ambushes from the Tsugawa family in the dense forest!" The Honma family is in the main camp, Honma Takaji pointed to the Tsumiki Hirohiro team that suddenly came out in the northwest direction, and said to Honma Taitaka with a shocked face.

Honma Yasutaka nodded, "The people of the Tsugawa family saw that the ambush was detected by us, so they couldn't wait to kill it!" That's exactly what I want! ”

"Order, all the troops will attack immediately, support the front, and defeat the Tsugawa family's forces in one fell swoop!"

"Hah!"

In front of the Honma family, the attack of Yagyu Shuiichiro's team was unusually fast, and the Honma Toshitai was instantly blinded.

Looking at the peasants and soldiers who kept falling around him, Honma Tokitai's eyes were full of shock and disbelief, "Is this the combat power of the Tsugawa family?" It's horrible! I don't know when, looking at the Tsugawa family's troops in front of me who were tearing at their own ashigaru like a fierce beast, Honma Tokitai's hand holding the sword trembled slightly unconsciously.

And at this time, the sudden appearance of Tsumiki Hirohiro's team made the situation of the Jiuchi family even worse.

"Run!" The peasants and soldiers of the Kuchi family were also frightened by the ferocity of the Tsugawa family! Although there have been constant battles on Sado Island, most of them have been petty fights, and often the casualties in a battle between the two forces will not exceed double digits............ But today, twenty or thirty people fell in one charge, and this is not called a war, this is called a massacre!

In an instant, the peasant soldiers of the Kuchi family made a choice between life and death, and they all dropped their weapons and began to flee.

Although Honma Tokitai had the intention to stop it, the peasants and soldiers under his command did not listen to Honma Tokita's command at all, except for a dozen or so samurai of the Kuchi family who firmly surrounded Honma Tokita, almost all the Kuchi family peasants and soldiers were running behind!

Just when the situation was about to get out of control, behind the Kuchi family, Honma Taigao and others finally arrived with troops.

Hundreds more joined the battlefield, and the Tsugawa family's offensive was quickly blocked.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! In the crowd, Yagyu Shuiichiro slashed the Honma family peasant soldiers in front of him to the ground one after another, feeling the pleasure of the knife piercing into the flesh, looking at the blood stained on the blade, Yagyu Shuiichiro was extremely satisfied.

Just when Yagyu Shuiichiro was already drunk, Hirohiro Tsumiki suddenly came to Yagyu Shuiichiro's side and said loudly, "Yagyu-sama, the enemy army is strong, it is better to retreat temporarily!" ”

After Shuichiro Yanagi heard Hirohiro's words from his wife, he instantly realized that he was not here to kill the enemy!

Although he was very reluctant to retreat like this, Shuichiro Yanagi still said loudly, "Retreat!" The whole army retreats towards Kamo Castle! ”

"Retreat!" Tsumiki Hirohiro also roared loudly.

The ashigaru of the Tsugawa family had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as they heard the words of Shuichiro Yagyu and Hirohiro Tsumiki, they quickly left their respective enemies and fled without hesitation.

The Tsugawa family's sudden escape made the Honma family stunned.

Wasn't this Nima still so fierce just now? Why did you suddenly jump away?

But after being stunned for a while, the peasants of the Honma family began to pursue under the orders of Honma Taigao! Especially Honma Toshitai, who just suffered a big loss at the hands of the Tsugawa family, and now that the reinforcements have arrived, isn't it just the opportunity to take this opportunity to be ashamed?

So, the people of the Tsugawa family ran in front, and the people of the Honma family chased behind! The ashigaru on both sides used their strength to eat, and the ashigaru of the Tsugawa family ran all the way, so that the ashigaru of the Honma family ate the dust all the way behind.

The two sides chased after me, and it didn't take long to reach the three leaves!

When the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru was the first to rush to the swamps of the shambara, the speed began to slow down.

The Honma family's troops, who were chasing in the rear, were overjoyed when they saw the Tsugawa family's ashigaru slowing down, and one by one they scrambled to wield their weapons and kill the Tsugawa family's ashigaru who was struggling to march in the swamp.

However, when the Honma family's peasant soldiers stepped into the swamp, their speed slowed down instantly. The Honma family peasant soldiers at the front had the intention not to pursue anymore, but the Honma family soldiers in the back were still pouring over. The Honma family in the front was half squeezed and half-pushed by the back of the ashigaru, and in a short time, the swamp was covered with the Honma family's ashigaru.

The people of Taigao Honma also chased into the swamp on their horses, and they were slightly faster than ordinary ashigaru.

And just as Taigao Honma was chasing him to the middle of the swamp, in the woods on the left, the voices of Shimazu and Saburo suddenly appeared.

"Musketeers! The Honma family in front of the target, the distance is 200 steps, and the three stages take over the shooting! ”

"Shoot!"
