As the name suggests, Upper Mountain Castle is a castle built on a mountain. The whole stone wall www.biquge.info pen & fun & pavilion is built with stones, which is not comparable to the castle in the area of the Kakujian River basin. In addition, the terrain is high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is really a majestic city.

At noon that day, the two defenders leaned against the edge of the stone wall and sighed. "Made, I really envy those guys, I followed the lord to Daze City to show off my might, but I pity our brothers who are still eating soil here" A ashigaru couldn't help the hunger in his stomach and complained: "Alas, life is hard." ”

The other whispered, "You, stop complaining. It's good to have something to eat, and it's a good thing as long as you don't die of hunger these days. ”

"I was thinking that everyone else had gone out to fight with the city lord, and that was a good thing, who didn't know that three-quarters of the Daze family's troops were controlled by the city lord, and there were less than a hundred people in Daze City, and it was not easy to take it down. That's a lot of reward."

"If you have money, you have to have a life to spend, in the case of our brothers, isn't it to die if you go up. What should I do if the mother-in-law of the family dies at that time? The other Ashigaru said.

"That's right," replied Ashigaru, who was the first to speak.

Just as the two ashigaru were complaining to each other, suddenly a large force of troops appeared outside the city.

Ashigaru, who was already hungry and his eyes were foggy, looked at the military momentum and said, "Is it that the city lord has returned?" The other strongest slapped him in the face: "Fart city lord, can't you see those who rely on the flag?" It seems to be someone from the Tsugawa family? ”

"People from the Tsukawa family?" The two ashigaru exclaimed at the same time, ", the enemy is attacking" The two ashigaru saw a large group of people from the Tsugawa family rushing towards the mountain castle with murderous energy, and almost simultaneously let out a frightened exclamation.

"What should I do?" A shivering foot said.

"Chill Dress" Tell the others and run away," said another ashigaru.

When the Yoshikawa Hiroke family came to the outside of Kamiyama Castle with Ashigaru of Iwatani Castle, he thought there was still a fierce battle, but he found that there was not even a figure in the city, and the city gate was not closed.... What kind of fuss is this? Yoshikawa Hiroke thought to himself.

"Rush in, seize the castle tower and the castle tower, and kill anyone who dares to resist."

Ashigaru behind "Ho" rushed in.

"Report to Yoshikawa-sama, the Ashigaru of the Kamiyama family has not been found in the castle, and we have taken the castle tower, please instruct" A ashigaru ran over and said to the Yoshikawa Hiroka.

"It's really an empty city, and the lord is right." Yoshikawa Hiroya said with admiration. "Organize people to inspect the city, and protect the warehouse and the family members of the Shangshan family, and wait for the lord's whereabouts."

"Hi" Ashigaru promised.

......

Yukiyuki had no strength to go up the mountain, and his mount also bled to death on the road. When he finally walked outside Shangshan City, he found that there was no one in Shangshan City, and he was strange in his heart, and he didn't have time to think about it, and walked towards the city gate.

Suddenly, a voice came, so scared that Yuyuki Kamiyama almost urinated on the spot "Haha, look, the samurai of the Kamiyama family, catch him"

Then Yukiyuki Kamiyama found several Ashigaru rushing out of the flag with the Tsugawa family bellflower pattern on his back, and Yukiyuki Kamiyama, who wanted to resist, found helplessly that he didn't even have the strength to draw a knife.

Yoshikawa Hiroie, who was counting things in the warehouse, was overjoyed, "I didn't expect so many things in Shangshan Castle?" Yoshikawa Hiroke said to a ashigaru beside him, "There are nearly 2,000 stone of grain alone, which is really rich."

"Report" A ashigaru ran in from outside, looked at Yoshikawa Hiroya and said, "Yoshikawa-sama, a samurai from the Kamiyama family was caught outside" "Oh? Yoshikawa Hiroya said in surprise, "How did you catch it?" ”

"The villain and a few others were on duty at the city gate, and at this time a figure suddenly appeared outside the city, and the subordinates hid on the side, and found that there was a family crest of the Shangshan family on its feet, so they rushed out and caught him."

"Haha, well done" Yoshikawa Hiroke said excitedly, "Where are the people now?" Take me to see it" "Hi"

......

"You said you are the young master of the Shangshan family, Shangshan Yuyuki?" Yoshikawa Hiroya said excitedly to Yuyuki Kamiyama, who was tied to the side. "Yes, the acquaintance should release His Royal Highness, otherwise my father will all die when he comes back," shouted Yukiyuki Kamiyama.

Yoshikawa Hiroya slapped the past, "Made, where are the ghosts?" You returned to Kamiyama Castle alone, presumably the war in Osawa Castle is over, can Kamiyama Zezhi come back and say two things" Seeing that he couldn't bluff Yoshikawa Hiroka, Kamiyama Yuyuki suddenly lowered his head, "In that case, let me cut my stomach"

Yoshikawa Hiroke laughed and said, "You're just a prisoner, and you dare to put forward conditions." My lord will naturally dispose of you when the time comes" said to a ashigaru: "Take him down, take him under strict supervision, don't let him run away"

"Hi" a few ashigaru scolded and took Yuyuki Kamiyama away.

......

"Lord, your subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they have captured Shangshan City, and captured Shangshan Xingzhi." Yoshikawa Hiroke was in the castle tower and said to Soji Tsugawa, who had just arrived.

When Zongzhi heard this, he said happily: "Well, yes, I was still regretting that Yuyuki escaped from the mountain, but I didn't expect him to be caught, haha It's really heaven and the mountain family will perish." ”

"Hi" Yoshikawa Hiroya replied, "In addition, the seizure of Shangshan Castle has also been counted, there is a total of about 2,000 stone of grain and more than 200 pieces of money, but there are not many weapons, I want to attack Osawa Castle this time, and it has been distributed to Ashigaru." When Zongzhi heard it, it was not bad.

"Well, this time to capture the Ashigaru of Shangshan City, no one will reward a stone." Soji said to Yoshikawa Hiroka.

"Yes," continued Yoshikawa Hiroie, "what about the family members of the Kamiyama family?" There are no men except for Yuki Kamiyama, and the others are the main and side rooms of Yuyuki Kamiyama and Yuyuki Kamiyama. ”

"Let them be taken to Kakuyama Castle and handed over to Saigo Kicho to deal with, as for the good luck of the mountain, cut off the head and hang it on the upper floor of the castle." Soji said.

"Hi" Yoshikawa Hiroya replied, "My lord, in this battle, the Yamagami family was wiped out in one fell swoop, and the Osawa family has also been merged into the main family, and the family has become the biggest powerful family in the western part of Nansenkita County." The only ones left were the Ryohei family and the Nagano family, who were at war. ”

"Well, the power of this family is expanding too fast, in order to avoid an unstable foundation, this family will not fight outside the country for a period of time, and it is necessary to integrate new territories and people, and after a while, everything will be stabilized." Saying that, Soji looked at Yoshikawa Hiroya and continued: "Lord Yoshikawa, during this time, I will ask you to sit in Shangshan Castle, visit all the villages around Shangshan Castle, measure the height of the stone and appease the people. I'll call Joshiro Kogijiro of Osawa Castle to assist you."

"By the way, you don't know about Kogijiro yet," said Soji Tsukawa, telling the Yoshikawa Hiroya about what happened in Osawa Castle. Yoshikawa Hiroie, who attaches the most importance to righteousness, was in awe for a while, and said, "I hate the demeanor of Lord Mizutani, I am really a model of my samurai." ”

"Mizutani Nagaji is indeed a masterpiece of a generation, but it's a pity that he has committed suicide," Tsugawa Soji also said regretfully.
