Hirichikan is a small castle located between the two branches of the Ou mountain range, Mt. Moriyoshi and Mt. Ohiro, and is strategically located as the only main road that leads directly to the Hinai area in Senhoku-gun. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the head of the third-generation Kasei family who built the Hirichi Inner Pavilion here, intending to defend against the enemy forces in the direction of Senhoku-gun. However, because the place is too steep, there is only a narrow mountain road to pass, and there is a rampant bandit in this area (Yamaguchi people: Don't talk about it, we carry this pot!). ）。 Therefore, the traveling merchants preferred to take a detour to Iwate or Kawabe rather than go here, and the mountain is covered by heavy snow for eight months of the year, so there has been no war here for many years.

On June 12, the 12th year of the Astronomical Year, the dawn clouds burned extremely brightly, which was a rare good weather of the year for Hirichi Naikan. The red glow in the eastern mid-air is as gorgeous as a belt, and during the walk of the white fish scale clouds, one by one is engulfed by the red clouds. The terrifying red color of the sky did not slowly dissipate until the morning sun revealed the true face of Lushan.

Longgu Nakamura is the city generation of the Bili Inner Pavilion, and he is also the brother-in-law of the head of the Jiacheng family, Jiacheng Yasukiyo, and can be regarded as a member of the Jiacheng family. Takaya Nakamura, who is just 30 years old this year, is in the prime of life, and he is obsessed with martial arts, and he goes to the outside of the Hirichi Hall every morning to practice martial arts. What's more, the weather is good today, so Taku Nakamura got up early in the morning.

Rumuta Nakamura, who had just been practicing for a short time, suddenly felt that someone was secretly peeping at him, and in the consciousness of a warrior, Rumaya-Nakamura carefully moved towards a bush. Suddenly, several feathered arrows slashed through the sky and struck towards Takaya Nakamura.

Longgu Nakamura's eyes flashed, and he rolled on the spot and dodged the arrow. When I looked up, I saw dozens of people dressed as bandits, wielding various weapons, and killing him.

"Bastard! It must be the damned bandits of the Yamaguchi again! Rumaya-Nakamura gritted his teeth, turned around and ran. Although the conceited martial arts are good, but there is a team of dozens of bandits on the opposite side, it may be possible to let Longgu Nakamura go to a dozen 10, but dozens of bandits Longgu Nakamura are also timid.

Just as Takaya Nakamura turned around and fled towards the Hirichi Inner Hall, in a dense forest in the distance, Soji Tsugawa also showed an inexplicable smile!

"Attack as planned!"

"Hah"

In an instant, hundreds of thieves rushed out of the dense forest again, and Longgu Nakamura ran faster at first sight. After a short time, Rumu Nakamura ran into the city and shouted loudly, "Enemy attack! There are bandits attacking, gather the bandits to fight on the city wall! ”

There aren't many ashigaru people in the Hirichi building, only about 100 people, but I've been dealing with bandits in the area for a long time. Therefore, after hearing the attack of the bandits, the ashigaru people in the castle did not panic, but methodically assembled at the castle tower under the command of several samurai.

For the attack of the bandits, the ashigaru have long been surprised, and there will be at least a dozen bandit attacks in a year, but they are all bandits, but the ashigaru of the Jiacheng family is easily resisted by the walls of the Hirichi Inner Hall. At most, the bandits forced the ashigaru of the Jiacheng family to cage the castle in the city, and then turned around and looted a few nearby villages.

Just when the village of Longgu breathed a sigh of relief, a large number of bandits suddenly rushed out of the city, and the number of people was at least 400.

Ryugu Nakamura was shocked and said, "How is it possible! When did the Yamaguchi crowd become so numerous? ”

Since Abe's development of the Yamaguchi people was carried out secretly, no one else except Tsugawa Soji knew the details of the Yamaguchi people for the time being. Therefore, until just now, Takaya Nakamura thought that the number of Yamaguchi people was still more than 100 people killed as before.

But looking at the current situation, Tarugu Nakamura's heart suddenly became bottomless. The 400-strong bandits are enough to capture a small castle like Hirichikan. Therefore, Takaya Nakamura immediately said to the two ashigaru beside him, "You two immediately ride my war horse to the Araze Pavilion in the rear to ask for help, and let Takayama-sama lead troops to support!" ”

"Hah!" The two ashigaru hurriedly replied.

The Arase Pavilion is a castle that is smaller than the Rateinaikan, and it was built because it was the location of the Kinginzan of the Kasei family. Therefore, the role of the Arase Pavilion is limited to the daily garrison.

The one who guards the Arase Pavilion and Aren Silver Mountain is the head of the Takayama family, the head of the Takayama family, who is the retainer of the Kasei family. The Takayama family was originally born in Takayama Village at the foot of Moriyoshi Mountain, and was later wiped out by the Kasei family and returned to the Shun Kasei family, and it has been almost 60 years since the Takayama Ichichi generation. There are 30 people in the castle, and if the Takayama clan mobilizes the nearby peasants, he should be able to gather about 100 troops.

Therefore, the first object that came to mind for help was the Arase Pavilion in the rear, which was only five or six miles away from the Hirichi Inner Pavilion, and it should have arrived even if the mountain road was difficult to walk for an hour.

Takaya Nakamura was confident that he would be able to hold off the attack of the Yamaguchi people, and it would be no problem to drag it until reinforcements arrived.

At this moment, a bandit who looked like a leader came out of the bandit team outside the city, standing proudly outside the city of the Hirichi Inner Hall, and arrogantly yelled at the Hirichi Inner Hall Castle Tower, "Listen, the people of the Kasei family in the city, I am Abe Entata, the leader of the Yamaguchi people!" If you don't want the city to be captured by us, then prepare 2,000 stone of food immediately! Otherwise, we're going to attack the city! ”

When Takaya Nakamura on the castle tower heard Abe's words, he roared angrily, "Bastards of the Yamaguchi people! You are dreaming! It's just a bandit, and they dare to attack the city of my Jiacheng family. Today, I will let you see the bravery of my Jiacheng family samurai! ”

Longgu Nakamura will definitely not agree, not to mention whether there are 2,000 stone of grain in the Birichi Museum, even if there is Longgu Nakamura dare to give it? If Jiacheng Kang Qingqiu settles the accounts afterwards, then Longgu Nakamura can only cut his stomach.

"Don't refuse, I'll give you two hours to consider, and if you haven't given us an answer after two hours! Then don't blame us for being unkind! Abe Madoka yelled too loudly.

After listening to Abe's words, Takaya Nakamura was not so angry.

"Haha! I was worried about holding you back and waiting for reinforcements to come, but I didn't expect to give us 2 hours of time, and 2 hours even if the mountain is climbing, I can climb it! Hum! Yamaguchi, it won't be long before you'll regret it! Rumu Nakamura thought to himself.

"If it weren't for the lord who followed Lord Anton to send troops, I really wanted to ask the lord for his life to destroy you bastards who don't know whether to live or die!" Rumaya, Nakamura, thought indignantly.

Of course, Takaya Nakamura was just thinking about it, but he replied, "In that case, then I'll think about it!" I'll give you an answer in two hours! ”

Enta Abe nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, and then turned around and walked towards the bandit team, but the moment Enta Abe turned around, the slight uplift recently was something that Takaya Nakamura couldn't notice.

"Humph! Rumaya-Nakamura, you must be calling me stupid in your heart right now! I don't know if you'll think like this next! Ha ha! ”
