The Akiyama family army saw that thousands of people were killed from the city, and they knew that their side was definitely not an opponent, so the two armies had not yet fought for half a moment, and the whole line collapsed, Shima Katsutsu and Fukusumi Shunhiro in order to prevent the four hundred troops from escaping back to Akiyama Castle, so they had to cover up and kill, the Akiyama family saw that the enemy army refused to stop, in order to be able to escape, so some of the ashigaru did not flee to Akiyama Castle and to both sides, and most of the remaining Ashigaru continued to run towards Akiyama Castle, seeing that the Tsutsui soldiers did not chase after the companions who fled to both sides, Therefore they immediately fled to both sides.

It didn't take long, and there was no one to continue to move forward, and this was the result that Shima Katsu Takeshi wanted to see the most, because he ran all the way, so when he arrived at Akiyama Castle a few hundred meters away, Shima Katsu Takeshi did not immediately command Ashigaru to attack the city, but let them rest for a while, and when they recovered to their best condition, they would take the city in one fell swoop.

However, he really overestimated the defenders of Akiyama Castle, because most of the troops had been scattered, so there were only fifty defenders left in Akiyama Castle at the moment, and although Akiyama Castle was a mountain castle, however, if the terrain was dangerous, it was much worse than Ze Castle, so even if he led the army to attack as soon as he arrived, the defenders in Akiyama Castle would never be able to resist, let alone the army under his command after recuperating and recuperating.

Although it didn't take much effort to capture this Akiyama Castle, even if it was not impossible to go to the next castle before the arrival of the Matsunaga family's army, Shimakatsu Takeshi was not reckless, and this time the army led by himself had no extra military strength after defending the newly captured castle, and if the army was out, it could only rely on the monks and soldiers who were supported by the temples.

In his opinion, if the monk soldiers continue to fight, although it is not impossible, after the capture of the city, how to deal with it? If it's not properly allocated. This will be a source of trouble.

Therefore, after he captured Akiyama Castle as soon as he first captured it, in addition to leading a hundred troops to garrison the city, he sent people to recruit the hundred troops left by himself in the Dragon King Mountain Castle in the rear. And let Fukuzumi Shunhiro lead the monks and soldiers back to aid Tsutsui Castle.

Although the current military situation of the family is still stretched. However, his fighting spirit was high, so Shima Katsu was confident that he could block the attack of the Matsunaga family with the strength of 200 troops under his command.

And when Shima Katsu captured Akiyama Castle, ten cities were defeated. The envoys sent to Xingui Mountain Castle to ask for help have arrived.

Naito Ruan, who stayed in the city, couldn't help but feel a headache after seeing these people. It is not good when this Tsutsui family will send out the army, but it will lead the army to attack when the family is the emptiest, and at present, there are only four hundred elites who leave the family in Yamato. And there is also the heavy responsibility of keeping the trustworthy Guishan City. It is really not advisable to go out lightly, and the peasants and soldiers can't count on it, how can this be good.

And Naokuni Akiyama, who was also in Shinguiyama Castle, heard that the two castles of his family had all fallen into the hands of the enemy, and almost fainted.

He immediately came to Naito Ruan's samurai mansion, and before he could enter the hall, he said anxiously, "Lord Naito." Now that the two cities of the family have fallen, please ask the adults to be the masters of the Akiyama family. ”

I saw Naito Ruan sigh and said, "I don't want to help adults restore their old collars. It's just that the current situation is also known to adults, at present, in this Xingui Mountain City, there are only 400 elite troops, and there are also heavy people on defense, it is really not appropriate to go out lightly, please forgive me. ”

Akiyama Naokuni couldn't help frowning after hearing this, and said: "Lord Naito, having said that, but if it weren't for the adults to lead the army to help, how could the land of the Akiyama family be lost, the adults have an order to come down, and they will bring all the flags in the family to help each other, this is out of sincerity, and now the family is in trouble, if the adults don't save them when they see death, I'm afraid it's a little too much to say." ”

Naito's words are also very reasonable, but both the lord and the young lord ordered him to guard the city when he left, and he must not go out lightly, so even if he wanted to help the Akiyama family restore his old domain, he did not dare to disobey the lord's order. …,

Thinking of this, I only heard him speak: "Lord Akiyama, this matter is very important, I think it is better to send someone to the mountain city immediately to report to the lord, please send the lord to help the lord quickly, as long as the lord's army arrives, then I will personally lead the army to help the lord recover and lead, I don't know what the lord thinks?" ”

Akiyama Naokuni still doesn't know who Matsunaga Shu is, he is just a Yamato wealthy family, even if he comes back and really sends an army to attack Akiyama Castle and Ze Castle, after taking the city, I am afraid that he will be classified as a direct government, and how can he return to his own hands.

Thinking of this, Akiyama Naokuni glanced at Naito Ruan with resentment, and walked out of the city quickly, Naito Ruan saw that he led the 200 troops under his command to leave Xinguishan City, I thought it was going to fight with the Tsutsui family, and I felt a little helpless, but who knows where Akiyama Naokuni was going to fight with the Tsutsui family, but in a fit of anger, he directly surrendered to the Tsutsui family, although Zecheng under his rule was still under the direct jurisdiction of the Tsutsui family, and was guarded by Shimakatsu Takeshi, however, to be able to recover Akiyama City, Akiyama Naokuni was already satisfied, At least it's much better than waiting for Matsunaga to lead his army to capture this city, and get nothing.

After receiving this news, Naito Iriyasu's sympathy for Naokuni Akiyama was swept away, and if it weren't for his life, he would definitely lead his army to destroy this traitor.

And now, although the Tsutsui family has temporarily stopped attacking, no one can say when it will be launched again, so Naito Ruan ordered the castles to strengthen their vigilance, and immediately sent someone to report the situation here to Matsunaga Shu.

Outside Takasaki Castle, two days passed, but during these two days, except for night attacks, the Matsunaga army did not launch a decent attack on the city.

And the people in the city were not happy because of the calm of these two days, on the contrary, both the Takayama clan and Sanada Masayuki were worried.

They all understood that the reason why Matsunaga Xiu did not lead the army to attack again must be waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.

In the camp outside the city, when Matsunaga Shu was discussing battle strategies with his retainers, he saw a junior samurai walk in quickly and said, "Report to the lord, Lord Naito sent someone to ask for a meeting, saying that there is something important to report to the lord." ”

After listening to Matsunaga Xiu, he hiccuped in his heart, the last thing he wanted to hear at this time was Yamato's domestic affairs, although Naito Ruan had average ability, but he was cautious, if it wasn't for something big happening, he would never send someone here at this time, could it be that there was something wrong in the family?

Thinking of this, Matsunaga immediately called it into question.
