On the banks of the Natori River, the battle continues.

After nearly three hours of hard work, the Tsugawa family, who had crossed the river, finally occupied a small place next to the Natori River. Although the place is not large, it is enough for the follow-up troops to land one after another.

Although there is a natural barrier of the Natori River, the combat effectiveness of the Date family is average after all, and it can be said that it is difficult to fight for them after such a long time and high-intensity battle.

Kurokawa Haru's attack army has retreated, and the Kurokawa family's Ashigaru was originally sent to fight the Date family, and when the five colors of Mizutani Kuji, Yoshikawa Hiroie, and Akechi Mitsuhisa were prepared, Kurokawa Haru could only return indignantly.

At the same time, the peasant soldiers under the command of Oniwa Ryonao, Watari Genzong, Nakano Sotoki and others had been fighting for four hours in a row, and they were already exhausted. However, due to Date Harumune's ability to let the Flag team rush out to support a wave from time to time, in general, the main battlefield of Natorigawa has not yet shown the one-sided advantage of the Tsugawa family.

However, it is clear that this situation will not last long.

The first to collapse was the Ishimoda Mitsuse and Kuwaori long team in the middle and lower reaches of the Natori River. The area where the two of them are located is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Natori River, and is mainly used to prevent the crossing of the river on the other side of the river, the Tsugawa family, Togo Yoshisuke, and the Komura Yoshikei.

As in the rest of the world, the Date family was able to hold the situation in general. But when Yukihide Hazu, Yoshino Yoshino and others joined the battlefield from the lower stream, in an instant, Mitsuse Ishiguda and Kyocho Kuwaori were blinded.

What's the situation?

"Anfang Mamoru, why is there a force of the Tsugawa family to attack from a small downstream? Didn't you say that there were no enemy troops crossing the river downstream! While letting his son Sang Zhezhen lead part of the troops to serve as the palace army, Sang Zhe Jingchang pulled Shi Mutian Mitsuse back and retreated.

Mitsuse Ishitada said as he ran, "The lower reaches of the Natori River are wide and turbulent, and the Tsugawa family has no big boats, so how can they cross the river safely?" And the detective has already found out that the Tsukawa family has no other hidden crossing points besides us! I'm completely confused! ”

"Father-in-law, behind us is the lord's main formation, once the enemy army attacks the main formation, the situation will not be good! We can't lead the enemy in the direction of this formation! Looking around at where he was, Mitsuse Ishiguda said with a solemn expression.

Sang Zhejing also nodded, "It's better to move closer to the direction of the main battlefield!" There are troops of the Daisuke Hall of the Military Department and Xiaoliangchuan Anfangshou over there, and it is no problem to drag this special team of the Tsugawa family for a while! ”

"In this way, the lord can also know the situation in advance in this formation!"

Mitsuse Ishiguda thought for a moment, then nodded and replied, "In that case, then turn around and move closer to the direction of the main battlefield!" ”

"Hah!"

Mitsuse Ishiguda and Koncho Kuwazuri are undoubtedly diehards of the Date family.

The Kuwaori clan is the descendant of the third generation of the Date family, the son of Date Yoshihiro, and the generation of Kushiri Keicho has been the elder of the Date family since the time of Date Minoru. And the Shi Mutian family is the "minister of the Successive Family" of the Date family.

Mitsuse Ishiguda was the son-in-law of Kuwashiri Keichonaga and a loyal supporter of Date Harumune. During the Astronomical Rebellion, Ishimoda Mitsuse stood firmly on the side of Date Haruhuna, and did not abandon Date Haruhun when it was weak.

After the end of the Astronomical Rebellion, grateful for the kindness of Mitsuse Ishiguda, Date Harune asked Mitsuse Ishiguda to replace Ishigmoda Miyauchi Shosuke as the head of the Ishiguda family, making Ishiguda Mitsuse work harder.

In this Natori River Battle, the Eastern Front battlefield was the initiative of Mitsuse Ishimoda and Kuwaori Keicho to ask for help. With five or six hundred troops, he blocked the attack of the 1,500 landing army of Komura Yoshikyo and Togo Yoshiyu for four hours, which can be regarded as doing his best.

It's a pity that in the end, he was still yin by the Tsugawa family and stolen his ass.

........

In the Date family's main formation, Date Harumun no longer has the confidence he had before.

Ever since the Tsugawa family's offensive became more and more rapid, Date Harumune has been worried. In this joint battle, if there is anyone who is under the most pressure, it is naturally Date Haruzong.

The strength of the Tsugawa family is now known to the whole world, and it can be said that the Tsugawa family has become a banner of the Higashiyama Road, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most powerful daimyo in the world.

Date Harumun naturally knew that he had a few catties and a few taels, and even the Ashina family himself might not be able to pass it head-on, let alone the Tsugawa family. If it weren't for the fact that the Ashina family had pinned down most of the Tsugawa family's forces on the Western Front, Date Harune would not have dared to fight the Tsugawa family in this Natorigawa.

In Date Harumune's view, the Tsugawa family has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the daily consumption of people eating horses and chewing is a lot. In addition, it is almost winter, as long as you resist this wave, then there is still room for yourself to find a way.

However, after really sitting here, Date Harumi realized that he was still thinking about eunuchs.

First of all, the equipment and combat effectiveness of the two ashigaru families are not at the same level.

Secondly, the Tsugawa family had too much advantage in numbers, and if the Tsugawa family landed on a large scale along the Natori River, Date Harune would not know that he would not have so many troops to distribute to various places.

Fortunately, I don't know if the Tsugawa family is stupid or what, and there are only two or three of them at the landing point. Although the troops were tight, they were able to hold on to it in general.

Picking up a glass of water on the desk, Date Harumi was about to drink it all when a fiery figure rushed in from outside, "Lord, it's not good!" ”

"The Kushiori Harima Moriden of the Eastern Front Battlefield sent someone to report that a Tsugawa family special force of more than 1,000 people suddenly appeared on the right bank of the Natori River, and cooperated with the attack of Yoshikei and Togo Yoshiyuki from the flank. At present, the battlefield on the Eastern Front has been completely defeated, and the Date War Department Daisuke Hall and the Koragawa Anbo Shoden are asking for support! ”

"Poof!" Date Harumun squirted out the water that had just been drunk in his mouth, and said with a confused expression: "How can the Tsugawa family have a special team that can appear on the battlefield on the Eastern Front without knowing it!" ”

"Isn't my father stationed downstream, it's impossible not to notice the movements of the Tsugawa family!" Date Harumune looked incredulous.

In Date Harumune's opinion, his father is still very good at fighting. But it was not normal to be able to let the Tsugawa family's Einsatzgruppen rush to the battlefield on the Eastern Front without anyone coming from Date Minoru.

As if guessing what Date Harunzong was thinking, Nitta Keixuna said in a deep voice, "Just now, a few retreating ashigaru people were found below, saying that the reclusive lord encountered the Tsugawa family's forces near the Daishoji Temple downstream of the Natori River. “

"The two sides fought fiercely for nearly an hour, and the reclusive lord had the absolute upper hand. But for some reason, there was a sudden sound of cracking twenty or thirty times in the army, followed by a massive casualty of the family's ashigaru. ”

"The hermitage and Date Saemon are currently ..... Life and death are unknown at the moment! Nitta Keixuna replied through gritted teeth.

Date Harumune suddenly felt as if he had been shot in the heart by someone, and there was an inexplicable heartache. But.....
