On June 18, the twelfth year of the Astronomical Calendar, outside Toshima Castle, inside the Tsugawa family's main camp. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition to the Kawakami Tadakei team and the Mizutani Kuji team, the Tsukawa family outside Toshima Castle also had Takahashi Kokoku and Togo Castle Lord Komura Yoshikei, with a total strength of about 600 people.

The Onodera family in Toshima Castle had 900 troops, while the Ando family in the north of Toshima Castle had 1,000 troops. If this is the case, there will be no problem in defending Toshima Castle.

When the sun rose in the middle of the day, many of the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru felt a pang of hunger in their stomachs, and they sat down on the spot and took out the prepared rice balls from their arms and ate them. And in the Tsugawa family's main camp, Mizutani Hisaharu and others also sat around a table with lunch.

Halfway through the meal, Takahashi Xingguo smashed it and said, "I didn't expect the people of the Andong family to be so cowardly, so they only attacked Toshima Castle twice, and they didn't dare to continue attacking." I thought there was a big war to fight this time, but we ended up chatting here! It's really not fun! ”

Hisaharu Mizutani put down the bamboo chip in his hand and said with a smile, "Lord Takahashi, are you afraid that you won't fight with the lord?" Now that the war is developing in the direction of our family's favor, won't the Anton family be stopped by us even if there are many people? ”

"And the Lord is fighting within the enemy, and when Anton Shunji learns the news, he will definitely withdraw his troops and return to the territory, and when the siege of Minato City is lifted, we can rest for a while." Hisaharu Mizutani said with relief.

"That being said, it always feels like something is missing when I don't fight." Takahashi Xingguo said regretfully, "Now the hostile forces around the family have almost been defeated by the family one by one, and even the Onodera family is in alliance with the family." I don't know who to fight if I want to fight in the future! ”

"Haha!" Yoshikage Komura laughed at this time and said, "Lord Takahashi, with the ambition of the lord, how can you easily truce? When the time comes, there will be a war to fight, and the question of who to fight will be left to the lord to decide. We just need to follow the orders of the lord. ”

"That's right." Kawakami nodded in agreement.

"But then again, I didn't expect the Onodera family, which has always been against the family, to fight hand in hand with the family this time, and when I think of the previous battle in Takahashi Castle, I'm still a little uncomfortable." Takahashi Xingguo said slowly.

Hisaharu Mizutani nodded and replied, "As the lord said, there are no permanent enemies and allies in this world, and only interests are the most important. Now that the Onodera family and the main family have a favorable relationship in Minato Castle, it is not a big deal to become allies for the time being. ”

"Well, that's ....... to say"

Just as Kuji Mizutani and the others were talking, suddenly there was a shout of killing outside.

"Not good, enemy attack!" Mizutani Kuji stood up abruptly and said to the others in the camp, "It must be the Andong family that has launched an offensive, everyone quickly organize Ashigaru to fight!" ”

"Hah!"

Not long after, when Kuji Mizutani and the others walked out of the main camp, the Tsugawa family's Ashigaru had already made a deal with the Andong family's Ashigaru.

On the side of the Ando family, Yoshicho Kamiura, Yoshiyuki Sato and others looked at the Tsugawa family's troops in front of them and smiled.

"Haha, the people of the Tsukawa family never expected that the family would launch an offensive against them at this time!" Yoshiyuki Sato said with a smile, and the resentment of being attacked by the Tsugawa family in Kubota Castle before dissipated a lot for a while.

Yoshicho Kamiura also laughed and said, "Haha, what surprised them is still to come!" ”

"Quick, attack! Attack with all your might! ”

"Hah!"

The Anton family's troops suddenly attacked while the Tsugawa family was having dinner, but it was a good calculation, and the Tsugawa family's troops were in a hurry and could not organize an effective defense at all, and the battle situation was extremely unfavorable to the Tsugawa family for a while.

Fortunately, Mizutani Hisaharu and others reacted in time and commanded Ashigaru to start a counterattack, which was able to block the offensive of the Andong family.

But the people of the Anton family attacked suddenly after all, and they originally had the upper hand. When one side suddenly attacked the other side unprepared, the situation became obvious, and the Tsugawa family's troops were constantly forced back.

Even though the Tsugawa family's troops are more elite than the Ashigaru of the Ando family, the Tsugawa family is still at a disadvantage for a short time.

Mizutani Hisaharu in the rear said anxiously, "Now we can only delay the enemy's offensive as much as possible, as long as the Onokie family in Toshima Castle sees the situation and sends troops to support, then the enemy will retreat!" ”

"Hold on, everyone, reinforcements will be coming soon!" Kuji Mizutani yelled loudly at the ashigaru around him.

After hearing Mizutani Hisaji's words, the originally panicked Tsugawa family Ashigaru slowly calmed down, "Yes, Toshima Castle is not far away, but we still have reinforcements from the Onodera family!" ”

As soon as he thought of this, the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family suddenly burst out with a strong fighting spirit, stubbornly blocking the attack of the Anton family, and even in some places, the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family actually launched a counter-charge.

For a time, the battle that broke out between the Anto family and the Tsugawa family outside Toshima Castle was raging. The Andong family suddenly attacked and there were more people, the Tsugawa family was more aggressive, and the two sides had their own advantages, and the fight was inextricable for a while.

At this time, on the upper floor of Toshima Castle, the head of the Onodera family, Onodera Uemichi, was looking at the battle outside the city with a solemn face. The head of the Hachibai Pavilion on the side, the Hachibai Chang Clan, asked eagerly, "My lord, the Tsugawa family is being attacked by the Anton family, let's go to support quickly!" ”

"Hmm!" Onodera Uemichi nodded and said, "Attack!" ”

The Hachibai Chang clan hurriedly shouted loudly, "Order the whole army to attack and support the people of the Tsugawa family outside the city!" ”

"Slow!" Onodera Uemichi stopped the Hachiwa Naga clan who was about to leave, and said slowly, "Order, the whole army charges, and attack the Tsugawa family!" ”

"What?" The Babai Chang clan was shocked and said, "Lord, are you mistaken? The Tsugawa family is an ally, and the people of the Anton family are enemies! ”

"Bastard!" Onodera Uemichi said indignantly: "Do you still need to tell me this!" The people of the Tsugawa family are the enemy! The Anton family is the ally of the family, bastard! Don't do what I say yet! ”

After listening to Onodera Uemichi's words, Hachikashiwa Naga took a deep look at Onodera Uemichi, and then said helplessly, "Ha! Your Majesty is going to organize the troops! ”

After the Hachikashi clan left, Onodera Uemichi let out a long sigh and muttered, "Tsugawa Soji, Anton Tsuki, don't blame me for not keeping my promises!" In this era, if you really follow the samurai's rules, you are not far from destruction! ”

"Quandao, brother avenges you today!" Onodera Uemichi clenched his hands and said through gritted teeth.

The Onodera family in Toshima Castle slowly dispatched, but their purpose was not to support the Tsugawa family's troops who were fighting hard outside the castle, but to directly target the Tsugawa family as allies!

When the people of the Tsugawa family were excited about the arrival of reinforcements, they unexpectedly waved the butcher's knife at the Ashigaru of the Tsugawa family, who were supposed to be reinforcements............
