On September 25, the 13th year of the Astronomical Calendar, it had been five days since the Tsugawa family and the Anto family confronted each other across the Yoneyogawa River. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Compared with the previous situation of "meeting is doing", the two families are now extremely restrained. For five days, each side guarded both sides of the wooden bridge on the Yaryūno River section of the Yyogawa River, and neither dared to act rashly.

The Tsugawa family's main camp is located in the southern area of Yalongno in the north of Rokudokan Castle, and further north across the Yoneyogawa River is the Andong family's main camp Yaryūzan. It's only 14 miles from Yamahonkan in a straight line and 4 miles from the Yaryuno Bridge.

"Jiro, what's the recent movement on the Anto family's side?" In this camp, Soji Tsugawa is learning about the latest movements of the Ando family with Jiro Iwaki.

After hearing Tsugawa Soji's question, Jiro Iwaki said without hesitation, "My lord! The Anton family has not had the slightest movement in the past few days, except for the three Anton troops guarding the bridgehead on the north bank of the Midai River, the rest of the troops are assembled near the Anton family's main camp. ”

"It seems that Anton Shunji wants to spend it with his family like this! Anyway, it's about to enter winter, as long as the war continues to drag on, in the end, the family can only have no choice but to withdraw the army! Soji Tsugawa nodded slightly, "How's the battle going on Yamamotokan's side?" Did Wise Mitsujiu send someone to report? ”

"It is rumored that there was a big battle yesterday on the Yamamotokan side, but Akechi-sama did not send anyone to report the battle." Takahashi Xingjia on the side hurriedly said, "I think that the Yamamoto Pavilion is just a small town, and there is a wise Mitsuhisa who personally goes out, coupled with the siege of hundreds of foot light by the family, is it not easy to attack the Yamamoto Pavilion?" ”

Speak of the devil! After Takahashi Xingjia finished speaking, Tsugawa Soji was just about to continue the conversation, and the figure of Akechi Mitsuhisa appeared in the main formation.

"I've seen the lord!" As soon as Akechi Mitsuhisa entered the main camp, he hurriedly bowed to Tsugawa Soji. ”

Tsugawa Soji looked at Akechi Mitsuhisa in surprise, "Aren't you supposed to command the battle at the Yamamoto Pavilion?" Why did you suddenly come here to me? ”

"Alas! It's hard to put into words! Akechi Mitsuhisa sighed, and then reported the situation to Soji Tsugawa in detail.

After Akechi Mitsujiu finished speaking, Tsugawa Soji's face couldn't help but change. But he immediately recovered, and said, "Yes, you guys did make the right decision to pause the attack." Without knowing the situation in the city, you can't do anything good by rushing to attack! On the contrary, it is easy to make big mistakes in the midst of chaos. ”

"Since the Yamamoto Pavilion is not easy to fight, then according to your wishes, let's besiege but not attack." Soji Tsugawa said after thinking twice.

"Hah!" Wise Guangjiu hurriedly replied, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Although the odds of Soharu Tsugawa blaming himself are slim, who can say for sure this kind of thing?

"Jiro. What is the food situation in the Yamamoto Museum? What about the water source? Soji Tsugawa suddenly thought of something, and then said to Jiro Iwaki on the side. Tsugawa Soji's intentions were obvious, and since it was impossible to capture Yamahonkan with a strong attack head-on, the only way to do so was to find a way from elsewhere.

Jiro Iwaki thought for a moment, and then said, "Your Majesty has personally visited the Yamamoto Pavilion to inquire before, although I don't know the details, but I also know a rough idea!" At least more than 2,000 koku of grain were hoarded in the Yamamoto Building. As for the water source, Yamamotokan does not rely on the Yoneyo River and Kamiiwa River outside the castle, and the mountain spring on Mt. Yamamoto is enough for the enemy troops in Yamamotokan to drink. ”

After listening to Iwaki Jiro's words, Tsugawa Soji couldn't help but make a mistake. With more than 2,000 stone of grain, even if the enemy troops in the city let go of eating, it would be no problem to survive the winter, and it would not work to start with food. As for the water source, hearing Jiro Iwaki say this, Tsugawa Soji also dispelled the idea of cutting off the water source.

Is it true that Yamamoto Museum can't be attacked? Soji Tsugawa couldn't help but think in his heart.

Seeing that Soji Tsugawa was in deep thought, the Takahashi family on the side suddenly said, "My lord! As Lady Akechi said, whether the Yamamoto Pavilion is controlled by the enemy army or the family, it is meaningless for the rest of the war. At the moment, the main target of the main family should be the main force of the Anto family on the north bank of the Yyogawa River, not the hundreds of peasants and soldiers in the Yamamoto Building. ”

"That's right!" Soji Tsugawa suddenly came to his senses, and he had indeed drilled the tip of the horns before. Made, a small Yamahonkan, if I can't attack you for a while, then I won't attack you. When Andong Shunji's army is defeated, no matter how strong the Yamamoto Pavilion is, what wind and waves can it turn up?

Thinking of this, Tsugawa Soji hurriedly said to Takahashi Xingjia, "Xingjia, quickly go and notify the retainers to come to discuss the matter!" ”

"Hah!"

...........

Although it is about to enter winter, the weather is not necessarily cool, on the contrary, it is quite a bit of an "autumn tiger".

The Anto family and the Tsugawa family Ashigaru, who were stationed on both sides of the Miyogawa Kibashi Bridge, were facing the scorching sun at this time, nervously watching the enemy troops on the opposite side, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

The Yyo River is one of the two largest rivers in the Yugo region, along with the Omono River, but to be honest, the river is not wide. The Ashigaru of the Anto family and the Tsugawa family can even clearly see each other's every movement through Miyogawa, and see the deployment of the opponent's troops clearly.

"Yes, the main family has been confronting the Tsugawa family for four or five days, why is the Tsugawa family reluctant to send troops?" In the shade of a tree not far from the bridge head of the Yoneyogawa River, Noshiro Kanokyo Joshiro Yoshida Keijiro and Yusuke Oshima and Kenhisa Matsushita are hiding in the shade of the trees to ward off the sun's rays.

Oshima smiled and said, "Isn't that bad?" Anyway, the lord also wants to drag down the Tsugawa family. The longer the war drags on, the better it will be for the family. ”

"Having said that, I'm afraid that the Tsugawa family will be tempted to send troops." Keijiro Yoshida continued.

As for Yoshida Keijiro, who participated in the Battle of Akita Tsukasa, the powerful combat power of the Tsugawa family ashigaru was personally understood by Yoshida Keijiro. Last year, it just experienced a big defeat, and it can be said that more than half of the Anton family has a shadow in their hearts, and this shadow is the Tsugawa family.

As for whether the Ando family can repel the attack of the Tsugawa family, Yoshida Keijiro has no bottom in his heart. Last year, the strength of the Anton family was stronger than the Tsugawa family and was defeated by the Tsugawa family, and now the Tsugawa family is attacking the Anton family violently, and the Anton family will be destroyed by the Tsugawa family if they are not careful. When the time comes, where will these warriors of the Anton family go?

If you die in battle, you are afraid that you will be captured by the enemy or survive until the end of the war, and you will be deprived of your status as a samurai, and you will become a pariah that you have always looked down on, and you will live for the rest of your life.

Thinking of this, Keijiro Yoshida's mood unconsciously fell.

Seeing that Keijiro Yoshida was not in a high mood, Oshima quickly explained, "Katsurajiro, think about your newlywed wife and your family in Hiyama Castle, every drop of blood we shed here is to protect our family. So, no matter what, we have no way back. The only thing we can do is to use the Taidao in our hands to repel the Tsugawa family who will commit crimes in the future! Even if you die on the battlefield, you will have no regrets! As samurai, we should be aware of this. ”

Hearing Oshima's helpful words, Yoshida Keijiro's body shook violently, and a look of determination suddenly flashed in his originally gloomy eyes...........
