On an avenue southwest of Minatojo, thousands of troops were marching towards Minato. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info On one side, the feathers of the cypress fan vulture are particularly eye-catching.

This army is impressively the strength of the Hiyama Andong family.

The early family crest of the Andong clan was the lion peony pattern, and later the Andong clan was allowed to change the fixed pattern to the cypress vulture feather pattern because of the Oshu gold placer to the imperial court. For a long time, in recognition of the merits of Andong Jung-sojin's rare feather fan from Goryeo, Go-Toba-in Temple gave two eagle feathers on the fan to Jeong-so, and after receiving the gift, Jeong-su showed them on the family crest, forming a cypress fan vulture feather pattern.

Anto Shunji rode a war horse at the front of the procession, followed by Shimizu Jiro, Hideyoshi Matsuhashi, Yoshiyuki Sato, Yoshinaga Kamiura, and Hirotake Kiiwa.

"Aim for the city, full speed ahead!" Anton Shunji shouted loudly.

"Hah!"

.............

In the main battle of the Tsugawa family, Tsugawa Soji was extremely unwilling to let the troops attacking Minato Castle in front of him withdraw.

The thousands of troops of the Andong family suddenly appeared behind him, which made Tsugawa Soji suddenly feel a little surprised.

At this time, Iwaki Jiro walked out of the main camp and said to Tsugawa Soji, "My lord, your subordinates have found out that the number of Anto's troops is about 4,000, and it is expected that you will be able to reach Minato Castle in half an hour!" ”

"With so much ashigaru, how did the Ando family get to Minato?" Soji Tsugawa asked puzzledly, "The main family is in the north of Minato Castle, and there are still Nagano Masabo and Shigedo Junko team, how did the Ando family's troops come over?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates guess that the people of the Anton family should have come from the sea." The Takahashi Xingjia on the side said at this time, "My lord, the Anton family has a large number of sailors, and it only takes half a day to take a boat from the Anton family to Minato City, which is much faster than taking the land route." ”

"Careless!" Soji Tsugawa patted the case in front of him and said hatefully.

The people of the Andong family would come by sea was something that Tsugawa Soji did not expect, and this cannot be blamed on Tsugawa Soji's carelessness, after all, the various battles that Tsukawa Soji faced before had not yet involved the existence of such a navy. For a while, Soharu Tsugawa felt that the whole plan had been disrupted!

"Report!" At this time, a scout quickly ran into the main formation, "My lord, there are thousands of enemy troops suddenly appearing in Kubota Castle!" ”

"What!" Soji Tsugawa stood up abruptly and said loudly, "Kubota Castle? ”

"I now finally know the reason why Kubota Ieji didn't withdraw his troops!" Soji Tsugawa turned around and pointed to the map on the desk and said, "You see, Kubota Castle is located southeast of Minato Castle. At this time, the people of the Andong family came from the southwest, so Kubota Castle happened to be stuck in the key position of the withdrawal of the main family, so that Kubota Castle became the main way to stifle the withdrawal of the main family! ”

"Lord, the Andong family has 4,000 troops, and the main family only has more than 2,000 troops near Minato Castle, so they can only retreat to the Akita area, and then fight with the Andong family with the forces of Lord Mizutani and others!" Wise Guangjiu spoke up at this time.

Soji Tsugawa gritted his teeth and said, "Order, the whole army retreats to the Akita area!" In addition, an order was sent to Kuji Mizutani to abandon the siege of Kubota Castle and come to join us! ”

"Hah!"

.....................

At around 3 p.m. on the 20th day of April in the 13th year of the Tenmon Dynasty, the forces of the Hiyama Anto clan suddenly appeared south of Minato Castle, and the forces of the Tsugawa clan began to slowly retreat towards the Akita Ridge area east of Minato Castle.

Anton Shunji and others had already rushed to the outside of Minato City.

With the retreat of the Tsugawa family, the big stone that pressed on the top of Minato's head finally fell, and Andong Toki and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, Anton Shunji arrived in time, otherwise it would be dangerous to get to the city." Anton Tongji said with palpitations on the city tower.

Toshima Shigemasa on the side continued, "Yes, the Tsugawa family almost broke through Ninomaru just now. ”

"Humph! Now that the strength of the Hiyama Andong family is here, I see how long the Tsugawa family can be arrogant! Anton Tongji said indignantly.

At this time, Shirane Masayoshi suddenly said in a loud voice, "Lord Tongji, the situation is not right. ”

"What's wrong?" Anton Tongji looked at Shirane Masayoshi suspiciously.

Shirane Shoyoshi pointed to the strength of the Hiyama Andong family outside the castle and said, "Lord Tongji, it seems that the troops of Hiyama Castle are surrounding us to get to the castle." ”

"What?" Anton Tongji was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly ran to the edge of the city tower to look out of the city.

I saw that the troops of the Hiyama Andong family outside the city were moving towards the east gate and north gate of Minato Castle, looking like they were going to surround Minato Castle.

Anton Tongji was shocked and said, "Anton Shunji, what are you going to do?" ”

"Lord Tongji, is Anton Shunji going to attack us to get to the city?" Shigemasa Toshima on the side said in disbelief.

At this moment, a samurai riding a war horse suddenly appeared in the soldiers of the Andong family outside the city, and quickly came to the castle tower of Minato.

"Shimizu Masakashi, the general of the Lower Andong family, please come out and answer the question!" Shimizu Masayoshi rode on his horse and said loudly to the castle tower.

Hearing this, Anton Tongji hurriedly spoke, "I'm Anton Tongji, I wonder if Lord Shimizu can tell you what this means?" ”

Outside the city, Shimizu Masayoshi continued, "Lord Anton, the family's troops have been walking for a long time, and they haven't eaten yet, so please open the city gate and let the family's Ashigaru enter the city to repair!" Appreciate! ”

After listening to Shimizu Masayoshi's words, Shirane Masayoshi on the side hurriedly pulled Anton Tongji aside, "Lord Tongji, you must not open the city gate." The Hiyama Andong family is not going to pursue the Tsugawa family's troops, but is going to enter my Minato City, and the current situation of the Hiyama Andong family is afraid that it is ill-intentioned, so let them repair it outside the city. ”

"Hmm." Anton Tongji nodded thoughtfully, and then came to the edge of the city tower and said loudly to Shimizu Masayoshi, "Lord Shimizu, please also tell Shun Ji Hall that the city has just experienced a great war, and it is really not capable of repairing it for all of you." Why don't you just fix it outside the city? Later, we will send Ashigaru to provide you with meals. ”

Shimizu Masayoshi did not answer after hearing this, but turned around and walked in the direction of the strength of the Hiyama Andong family.

"Could it be that the other party really just went into the city to repair?" Anton Tongji and the others looked at each other and thought.

In the main camp of the Hiyama Andong family, Andong Shunji nodded lightly after listening to Shimizu Masayoshi's report, and then said, "It seems that the other party will not open the city gate." ”

"What is the situation of Mori Miura, Kasei Yasushi and the others now?"

Matsuhashi Hidemori on the side replied, "My lord, Miura-sama, Kasei-sama and others have entered Kubota Castle, and the Tsugawa family's forces that are currently surrounding Kubota Castle have withdrawn to the Akita area. In this way, Tsugawa Soji wants to fight the family in Akita. ”

Anton Shunji was silent for a while after listening, and then spoke, "What did Inoue Yanshui say?" ”

"Inoue-sama sent a message that once the family started attacking Minato Castle, he would create a riot in the castle and cooperate with the family's attack on Minatojo," Matsuhashi Hidemori continued.

"Good!" Anton Shunji laughed at this time and said, "Minato City is finally going to belong to me, Anton Shunji!" ”

"Herald! Attack with all your might, and be sure to capture Minato Castle before it gets dark! Anton Shunji said loudly.

Matsuhashi Hidemori hurriedly replied loudly, "Ha! ”

After Matsuhashi Hidemori left, Anton Shunji looked at the blue sky outside the camp, and his heart was excited.

"After waiting for so many years, it can finally be over.............."
