Chapter 270: Anton Shunji is intimidated
On June 20, the twelfth year of Astronomy, the situation in the originally chaotic Hago area suddenly became clear. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A few days ago, the Minato family and the Hiyama Andong family, who were still fighting for life and death, suddenly ceased fighting, and the troops of the Hiyama Andong family directly withdrew and returned to the territory.
Not long after, another piece of news came. Tsugawa Soji, the head of the Tsugawa family, actually took advantage of the mobilization of the troops in the leadership of Anton Shunji to attack Minato Castle, and pretended to make a noise in Minato with part of the Tsukawa family's troops, but he personally led a large number of elites to directly attack the hinterland of the Anton family.
Several castles such as Minezawa Castle and Fiftyme Castle were captured one after another, and when Anton Shunji rushed to Fiftyme Castle with his troops, the Tsugawa family's forces had disappeared without a trace.
However, the Tsugawa family's forces suddenly appeared in Anton's Fengzhang Castle, and the battle captured Fengzhang Castle, and the Tsugawa family's troops were only less than 20 miles away from Hiyama Anto's original stronghold, Hiyama Castle.
The Kamiiwa River, located 10 miles south of Hiyama Castle, is a tributary of the Yoneyo River.
At this time, Anton Shunji was passing through here with the troops of the Anton family and the Miura family, and was rapidly advancing towards Hinoyama Castle.
"Quick! Speed up, be sure to get to Hiyama Castle before dark! Anton Shunji rode on his horse and kept urging the panting ashigaru behind him.
The forces of the Tsugawa family have already captured Fengzhang Castle, and Hiyama Castle is just as dangerous now, once Hiyama Castle is captured by the Tsugawa family, then the Andong family will be in big trouble! Thinking of this, Anton Shunji felt like he had eaten Xiang, and scolded, "Tsugawa Soji, if it's a samurai, it's a head-to-head showdown!" What kind of samurai is sneaking in the rear of his house to wreak havoc? β
However, Soji Tsugawa was not a fool, how could it be possible to fight against the thousands of people of the Ando family with a mere few hundred troops? Just when Anton Shunji and the others were about to arrive at Hiyama Castle, another bad news came - the Tsugawa family had already made a detour to Taiheirayama and appeared behind Anton Shunji and the others, and captured the Yamahonkan of the Anton family!
"Bastard!" Anton Shunji slammed the table in front of him in the middle of the formation, and shouted angrily, "The hateful Tsugawa Soji, don't you dare to fight to the death with your own family head-on?" β
Miura Morinaga opened his mouth at this time and said, "The main hall, Tsugawa Soji's intention is obvious, that is, he wants to wear down our fighting spirit and make us tired!" β
"Now that the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light, if we continue to chase like this, we may not know where the people of the Tsugawa family will appear in the next moment. For now, we will either cease war with the Tsugawa family, or we will have to hold our troops and scatter our forces in various key cities to prevent the Tsugawa family from continuing to attack. In addition, send ninjas and detectives to investigate the traces of the Tsugawa family, and once the location of Tsugawa Soji is discovered, immediately mobilize troops to encircle and suppress, and maybe surround Tsugawa Soji! β
After listening to Miura Morinaga's words, Anton Shunji shook his head and said helplessly, "It's useless, since Tsugawa Soji dares to act like this in the hinterland of his family, then Tsugawa Soji must be fully prepared." It won't do the family any good to continue fighting, and the best thing to do is to make peace with the Tsugawa family. β
"But the main hall, we will lose money and money by sending troops this time, if we make peace with the Tsugawa family like this, we will not only get no benefits at all, but also suffer heavy losses. What's more, the prestige of this family is bound to plummet from now on. Hideji Igme said worriedly.
"But what if we don't make peace?" Anton Shunji asked rhetorically, "Right now, the ashigaru people are already unbearable to fight anymore, if we let Tsugawa Soji continue like this in our hinterland, the ashigaru people have no intention of fighting, and we have no way to deal with each other." β
"If it drags on like this, we don't need Tsugawa Soji to come to the door, we will collapse first!" Anton Shunji said helplessly.
"What's more, the other forces of the Tsugawa family are currently in the Akita area, and they may go north at any time, and the family will face even greater trouble at that time!" Anton Shunji said slowly, "At present, there is no need for the war to continue, and the Tsugawa family has the upper hand in this battle." Although I don't want to admit it, one thing must be certain, and that is that the Tsugawa family is already invincible. β
"It's that we went to find Tsugawa Soji for a decisive battle, but Tsugawa Soji can't beat it, can't we still run? Ladies and gentlemen, although the losses of this dispatch are not small, the ashigaru people did not suffer many casualties. Now we should take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Tsugawa family, and then seize the time to repair, and once the strength of the family recovers, it is not too late to go to the Tsugawa family to settle accounts! Anton Shunji said loudly.
"But the main hall, this time the Andong family attacked the territory of the main family and the Fifty Mu family, and our territory was seriously damaged, not to mention, our family is still in the hands of the Tsugawa family! If we take the initiative to negotiate with the Tsugawa family, it is inevitable that the Tsugawa family will take the opportunity to ask us for money and food, and when the time comes, we can only grit our teeth and agree! Jiacheng Kangqing said worriedly.
"So what do you think we should do?" Anton Sun-ji asked.
The retainers who were originally clamoring suddenly became dumbfounded, yes, what can they do? The Tsukawa family has the upper hand at the moment, no matter whether the Tsugawa family fights or flees, the defeat of the Anton family is decided. No matter what happens, the situation is already like this, and it is impossible to turn it around.
"Why don't you speak?" Anton Shunji looked around at the surrounding retainers and said angrily, "This time I sent troops to really lose my family's face!" Thousands of troops were unable to capture a small Minato Castle, not to mention being suppressed everywhere, and they were teased by Tsugawa Soji like this! Ladies and gentlemen, don't you blush? β
"Yoshiyuki Sato, I won't mention that Kubota Castle was defeated by the Tsugawa family outside the castle! Outside Toshima Castle, you and the Onodera family jointly attacked the Tsugawa family with 600 people, but not only failed to destroy this army, but also suffered a lot of losses! If it weren't for you guys, we would have celebrated our victory in Minato by now! Anton Shunji said loudly.
Anton Sunji's words made the retainers in this camp ashamed and embarrassed, and the battle that happened in Minato City this time really disgraced the name of the Anton family. That's a force of 5,000 people, and there's nothing to say about a small city. In Kubota Castle. γThe strategy around Toshima Castle is also at a disadvantage!
Presumably, the reputation of the Anton family at this time has resounded throughout the entire North Ou region, of course, it is the notoriety of the Anton family!
"Pass my order, and the city lords of each city will immediately return to their respective cities with their troops and defend them tightly! Also, Shimizu Jiro Guard, you immediately set off for Kubota Castle and find the people of the Tsugawa family! Since the location of Tsugawa Soji cannot be determined, then I can only find someone else in the Tsugawa family! Anton Shunji said slowly, "Immediately negotiate with the Tsugawa family on peace talks, as long as the Tsugawa family's request is not excessive, then agree to them!" β
"Hah!" The retainers in this formation replied with interest.
Anton Shunji clenched his hands, his eyes widened, if Tsugawa Soji stood in front of him at this time, Anton Shunji said that he could cut Tsugawa Soji into countless pieces!!!
