Chapter 442: The Battle of Ducobalt City (Part II)
Of course, Akechi Mitsuhisa's words are false, how could it be possible to send Akechi Mitsuhisa alone against such a powerful force as the southern family. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
An hour later, Tadashi Kawakami, the lord of Noshirokan Castle, and Hiyama Castle Castle Yoshiro Kiuchi Nagaru, Yamamoto Kanjo Castle Shimizu Masayoshi and others also rushed to Ducobalt Castle. Seeing that the Tsugawa family had hundreds of troops coming again, Asari Noriyu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Lord Asaori, I'll introduce you here. This is the general of the main family, the commander of Midoribei, the lord of the Kawakami Tadakei, the lord of the Yama Castle, this is the lord of the main family, the Hiyama Castle Castle Yoshiro Kiuchi Nagaru, this is the main family Ashigaru general, the Yamamoto Pavilion Castle Daishi Shimizu Masayoshi. "Inside the castle tower of Ducobalt Castle, Akechi Mitsuhisa introduced the retainers of the Tsugawa family beside him to everyone in the Asari family.
Under the selection of Komura Yoshikei, most of the generals such as Shimizu Masayoshi and Kiniwa Hiroshi were given the status of samurai of the Tsugawa family, and served as the castle representative of each castle and the garrison of Ashigaru. Among them, Shimizu Masayoshi was appointed as the head of the ashigaru and Yamamoto Kyoshi Castle, Hiroshi Kiniwa was appointed as the head of the head of the ashikau and the castle of Iwadate Castle, Oshima Yusuke was appointed as the head of the ashigaru head and the commander of the castle of Shikado.
Even the retainers who surrendered to the Ando family were placed in various castles in Akita and Yamamoto counties, and were responsible for assisting Kiuchi Nagaru and Ogasawara Yasunaga in managing the territories and pacifying the people.
For the arrangement of the Tsugawa family, Shimizu Masayoshi and others are also extremely satisfied. After all, as newly surrendered retainers, they never thought that they could be entrusted with important positions such as city generation and garrison. Originally, Shimizu Masayoshi and others were satisfied just hoping to keep their status as samurai, but now that they can continue to be reused in the Tsugawa family, Shimizu Masayoshi and others have become more and more identified with the Tsugawa family, and they have a sense of belonging.
"Good, good!" Asari Li Zeyou said several good words in a row, and the smile on his face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, "Your lords have come from afar, and it has been very hard along the way. A banquet has been prepared to treat you. Please be seated. ”
"Thank you, Lady Asatoshi!" Although the Asari family is only a subordinate of the Tsukawa family, after all, Asari Noriyu is the head of the Asari family, and in terms of status, it is the highest here, so Kiuchi Nagaru and others dare not be rude.
After everyone sat down, Asari Zeyu continued, "I don't know where the Tsugawa Hall has arrived now?" "Asari Noriyu thought that Tsugawa Soji would personally lead the army to rescue him, so he was still looking forward to the arrival of Tsugawa Soji.
Kiuchi Nagaru and Akechi Mitsuhisa glanced at each other, and then said with a smile, "Lord Asatoshi, the lord is still dealing with the newly acquired territory of the family in Ueno Castle. This time, the lord has already appointed Lord Wise as the chief general, so the lord will not come for the time being. ”
"This .........." Shallow Li Zeyou was stunned, this result is a bit different from what he expected.
As if seeing what Asari Noriyu was thinking, Kiuchi Nagaru continued, "Asari-sama is relieved, the general of the southern family this time is not Nanbu Harimasa, but the stone turtle Nobufang. A retainer of a southern family, why should the head of the family go out in person? With a wise lord here, Ducobalt City will be as stable as a rock. ”
After listening to Kiuchi Nagaru's words, Asari Noriyu also nodded secretly. Indeed, this time, the general of the southern family's military situation is only Shi Gui Xinfang, and not Nanbu Qingzheng himself. Moreover, the strength of the stone turtle letter is not very large, and it doesn't matter if Tsugawa Soji comes or not.
Thinking of this, Qianli Zeyou hurriedly picked up the wine glass on the desk and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, then I have to ask you next." ”
.....................
Outside Ducobalt Castle, Hidefan Maomane, who served as the pre-siege army, led 400 ashigaru soldiers from the Maonei family and 500 ashigaru troops from wealthy clans such as the Oyu family and the Ishitoriya family, a total of 900 people, and was preparing to attack Ducobalt Castle.
Masatomo Ishioya stood beside Mao Manai Xiufan and said with a flattering face: "Lord Mao Mane, why don't you lead the army to attack in this first wave of offensive?" "Of course, Shimanei Hidefan is very important to Ishiniya Masayo, after all, Shimane Hidefan is also an important minister of the southern family, and he is the strongest force in Antler County.
Looking at the appearance of Masatomo Ishinoya pleasing himself, Mao Mane Xiufan was still very happy in his heart. Since he was sent to Antler County by Southern Anshin, the original intention was to unify the people of Antler County, dominate Antler County for the southern family, and then contain the Anton family. As a result, more than ten years later, I still haven't been able to accomplish this goal.
But now, the people of the entire Antler County are only looking at the southern horses, such a feeling, it's really cool!
"Okay, since Shikibu Dailu said so, then the first round of attacks will be handed over to the Ishitoriya family." Mao Manei Xiufan said with a smile on his face, "Zuo Masuke, you lead the troops of the Da Tang family as the reserve of Shibu Dalu, and support Shikibu Daisuke at any time!" Mao Mane Xiufan then said to the head of the big soup family next to him, Da Tang Changguang.
"Hah!" Da Tang Changguang hurriedly replied.
Shitori Gu Zhengyou suddenly said excitedly, "Lord Mao Manei, rest assured, in less than 2 hours, I will make up my mind to attack Ducobalt City!" ”
Regarding Ishinoya Masano's words, no one present objected. After all, Ducobalt City was already crumbling yesterday, and another wave of attacks today will definitely go very smoothly. Everyone thought so firmly.
However, the world is so unsatisfactory, just when Masatomo Ishtoriya and Mao Mane Xiufan and others were in high spirits, a detective from the Mao Mane family quickly ran to Mao Manai Xiufan's side and said loudly, "My lord! The Tsugawa family's bellflower pattern suddenly appeared on the single cobalt castle! There is a suspicion that there is a Tsugawa family in the city! ”
"What!"
"The Tsugawa family?"
Mao Manai Xiufan and Ishinotoriya Masatomo suddenly said in shock, their faces as ugly as eating Xiang.
"Are you sure it's the Tsugawa family's troops?" Mao Mane Xiufan asked excitedly.
Detective Fan said with an affirmative face, "Exactly!" The castle tower of the Ducobalt City has been erected with the bellflower pattern banner of the Tsugawa family. In addition, there are the green and white flags of the Tsugawa family Midoribi and Shirabi. ”
"Bastard!" After hearing this, Mao Mane Xiufan immediately scolded, "Seeing that Ducobalt City is about to be captured by us, I didn't expect the people of the Jinchuan family to suddenly enter the city, what a bastard!" ”
"Lord Maumane, are we going to attack the city?" Masatomo Ishinotoriya asked tentatively.
"Idiot!" Mao Manai Xiufan scolded: "The strength of the Tsugawa family is in the city, not to mention that the main family and the Tsugawa family are still allies now." I didn't even find out how many people were in the Tsugawa family's army in the city, so wouldn't it be looking for death to attack the city rashly? ”
Mao Mane Xiufan was not angry, and this siege could be said to be a credit delivery, but the strength of the Tsugawa family suddenly appeared, which caught Mao Manai Xiufan off guard.
"Quickly send someone to inform Lord Stone Turtle of this matter, the general of the army this time is Lord Stone Turtle, let him make a decision!" Mao Mane Xiufan said helplessly. However, let the stone turtle letter room decide, even if something goes wrong in the future, won't it have nothing to do with him? Thinking of this, Mao Mane Xiufan couldn't help but flash a trace of happiness in his heart.
