The Ahin Mine is a famous mine in the Yugo area.

Historically, the head of the Hiyama Andong family, Anton Aiji, relied on the economic support of the Ahin Mine and the Great Gejin Mountain to dominate the Yugo area. At that time, Nanbu Harumasa was dead, and the Nanbu family was in civil strife, and just as Anton Aiji was about to unify the queen of Yu, he suddenly died...... Of course, these are all digressions, after all, the rise of the Tsugawa family has made the Hiyama Andong family and the southern family and other forces withdraw from the historical stage in advance.

However, even so, the silver and gold mines produced by the Aren mine should not be underestimated.

Near the Ajin Mine, there is a small team of the Tsugawa family stationed in the Ashigaru, which is a military force belonging to the Arasekan and Hirichikan. Since the route along the Arasekan and Hirichikan is the only road connecting the trade routes between Senhoku-gun and Akita County, about one squadron is stationed here, and the first squadron is stationed to defend the Ajin mine.

In fact, this is also a kind of preparedness of the Tsugawa family, in fact, the Aren mine is already in the hinterland of the Tsugawa family, surrounded by the vast Ou Mountain Range, plus the bandits from near and far have been integrated by the Yamaguchi people, there will be no hostile forces coming here at all.

There are about 100 miners in the mine, and unlike other places, the rest of these miners are paid a "salary" unless they were exiled here for committing crimes or being captured by rival forces of the Tsugawa family. Although it is only 2 yuan a year, it is already a gift from God for the poor mountain people.

There are not many stone heights in the Aren area, on the contrary, there are still a lot of people, and it is a long thing to be hungry. Being able to get such a job now is very cherished by the farmers in the Aren area.

A row of wooden houses was built around the Aren Mine as a temporary resting place for Ashigaru to guard the mine.

A young man dressed in the Tsugawa family's samurai carcass slowly walked out of the house, half-squinting and coming to a large tree to pee. As soon as he unbuttoned his trousers, the samurai suddenly heard the shouts of killing coming from not far away!

"What's going on! How can there be shouts of killing here! The samurai's first instinct was that he had misheard, but his instinct told him that it was true!

"Bang!" The samurai strode to the door of the hut, kicked it open, and shouted inside, "Get up!" Get ready for battle! ”

To be selected to guard an important place like a mine, rather than being sent to a guard post like a "chengguan", the first team of Ashigaru is naturally well-trained. When they heard the samurai's eager voice, the sleeping ashigaru in the room jumped to their feet, grabbed their spears from the wall, and rushed out.

"The voice is coming from over there, everyone come with me!" The samurai shouted loudly.

There was only one way in and out of the Ahin mine, and the samurai were not worried that this was the "enemy's" plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, so he resolutely ran in the direction from which the sound came.

On the other side, Shimazu and Saburo, who fled in a hurry, have been caught up by Katsushiro Okamoto and others.

Shimazu and Saburo held the sword in their hands, and with a hint of luck, they said to Katsushiro Okamoto and the others, "Who are you?" In the Shimotsugawa family, the general of the family, the lord of Minezawa Castle, Shimazu and Saburo, is there any misunderstanding in this? Shimazu and Saburo knew that they were by no means the opponents of Katsushiro Okamoto and others, so they could only hope that these people in front of them were not coming for themselves. It's unlikely, but it's the only hope.

After Shimazu finished talking to Saburo, Katsushiro Okamoto looked up to the sky and laughed, "Haha! We are looking for you, let us die! Kill me! ”

After saying that, Katsushiro Okamoto waved his sword and rushed towards Shimazu and Saburo, and several other Samurai of the Mogami family next to him also followed Asahimazu and Saburo to kill.

Shimazu and Saburo fought and retreated, resisting the attacks of Katsushiro Okamoto and others with difficulty.

Originally, Shimazu and Saburo's martial arts were very ordinary, and they might not be opponents when they fought or not, but now they are besieged by several people, which makes it even worse.

"Dangchang!" The sword in Shimazu and Saburo's hands was suddenly shot down by Katsushiro Okamoto, and another samurai took the opportunity to stab Shimazu and Saburo. Shimazu and Saburo had no choice but to forcibly twist their bodies on the horse to dodge, but the movement was too big and they fell off the horse directly.

Seeing Shimazu and Saburo falling, Katsushiro Okamoto and others were not in a hurry.

Katsushiro Okamoto got off the warhorse, slowly walked to Shimazu and Saburo's side, and said with a smug face, "I didn't expect the dignified Tsugawa family to be so unbearable, I originally thought that it would take a lot of effort to kill you, but I didn't expect it to be so easy." Come to think of it, this Tsugawa family is also in vain! ”

"Bastard!" Although he is a lowly martial artist, Shimazu and Saburo can't watch Katsushiro Okamoto insult the name of the Tsugawa family like this.

Struggling to get up from the ground, Shimazu and Saburo pulled out the ribs around their waists and took an attacking stance.

Looking at the appearance of Shimazu and Saburo, Katsushiro Okamoto laughed even louder, "What? Is this a preparation for seppuku? Hahahaha! ”

"Haha!" Hearing Katsushiro Okamoto's words, another Samurai of the Mogami family also laughed.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a sudden change occurred!

"Who's ahead! This is the territory of the Tsugawa family, retreat quickly, otherwise the family will not be spared! The first team that hurried from the Aren Mine formed an attack formation and shouted loudly in front of them.

Since it was too dark, he could only see a few dark shadows in front of him, so the samurai, the leader of the first squad, did not dare to rush over.

The arrival of the first squad made Katsushiro Okamoto and others change their faces greatly! It's also too dark, and Katsushiro Okamoto can't see clearly how many people the Tsugawa family has in front of him, but it's not important, the important thing is that he must kill Shimazu and Saburo!

"Not good!" Katsushiro Okamoto said loudly, "Kill Shimazu and Saburo, hurry!" ”

At this time, Shimazu and Saburo also reacted, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the first squadron, shouting loudly as they ran, "I'm Shimazu and Saburo, come and save me!" ”

"Ahh It's Shimazu-sama! ”

"Shimazu-sama, don't panic, Hiroshi Hirata is here!" The leader of the first squad, Samurai Hirata Hiroshi, suddenly shouted loudly, "Kill, rush over to support Shimazu-sama!" After saying that, Hirata Hiroshi rushed out directly, and the first team's Ashigaru also hurriedly followed behind Hirata Hiroshi.

Hirata Hiroshi was almost eunuchized by Tsugawa Soji's order because he had an "affair" with Kokiri, the maid of Kikuhime, the side room of Tsugawa Soji. Later, there was Kikuhime's intercession, and his father Hirata Kinshiro was also a big businessman with the help of the Tsugawa family, so Tsugawa Soji sent Hirata Hiroshi to the Uemaeda Castle Silver Mine to mine.

It was not until the Second Battle of Tsugawa Castle that the miners of Hirata Hiroshi assisted Komura Yoshikei in defending Tsugawa Castle, and Hirata Hiroshi also made great achievements. After that, Hirata Hiroshi was appointed as the leader of the samurai. Because of his experience in "mining", Hirata Hiroshi was sent to the Ahin Mine to manage matters related to the mine.

Shimazu and Saburo, who were immortal, took the hand of Hiroshi Hirata, who rushed over, and said excitedly, "Lord Hirata, thanks to you, otherwise I would have died in this life!" ”

After speaking, as if thinking of something, Shimazu and Saburo gritted their teeth and pointed at Katsushiro Okamoto and the others in front, and said with a hideous face, "Lord Hirata, kill this group of bastards for me!" ”

"Hah!"

"Surround them! Don't let anyone go! After hearing Shimazu and Saburo's words, Hirata Hiroshi hurriedly ordered the first squad of Ashigaru to surround Katsushiro Okamoto and others.
