In the castle tower of Nagano Castle, Hisaharu Mizutani and others have already arrived at Nagano Castle. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Soji Tsugawa asked, "Mizutani-sama, how many troops did Yoshikawa-sama bring with you?" ”

Hearing Tsugawa Soji's question, Mizutani Hisaharu replied first: "Lord! When attacking Dagao Castle, the family suffered heavy damage. After learning of the lord's request for help, his subordinates left 30 peasant soldiers to guard the city. The rest of the troops were brought, a total of 40 ashigaru and 120 peasants! ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said to Yoshikawa Hiroka, "What about Yoshikawa-sama?" ”

"Lord, in Liangping City, I asked Miki Naogo to take 50 peasant soldiers to guard the town, and all 50 people from the Taidao team brought it, and there are also 30 ashigaru and 100 peasant soldiers!" Hiroie Yoshikawa replied.

"Lord Nagano, how many peasant soldiers have been mobilized in Nagano Castle now?"

Masahei Nagano replied, "Your Majesty has ordered Kawakami Tadakei to go to various villages outside Nagano Castle to mobilize peasant soldiers, and now more than 40 people have been mobilized. Combined with the previous forces of Nagano Castle, there are more than 100 people in total."

In this way, Mizutani-sama brought 160 men, Yoshikawa-sama 180 men, and 500 people in Nagano Castle, and the main family had about 800 troops. It's enough to hold Nagano Castle," Soharu Tsugawa said with relief.

Yoshikawa Hiroya said disapprovingly: "My lord, although the family has already been in terms of military strength, by the way, why didn't Nagano Masabo return?" Soji Tsugawa said to Hiroya Yoshikawa.

Yoshikawa Hiroya replied, "My lord! His Majesty was afraid that the troops would not be enough, so he asked Nagano Masabo to rush back to the Tsugawa family to find the Kuroda family, and the family also had a group of about 200 displaced people in the Kusakigawa River who were training, although the training time was not long, but it was also a lot of reinforcements."

"Well, that's for the best! If Yoshikawa-sama hadn't remembered it, I would have forgotten that Kusakigawa still has a force that can be mobilized! In this way, even if the entire army of the Hondo family and the Tozawa family attack Nagano Castle, the main family will have the strength to fight! Soji Tsugawa nodded and said. There are close to 1,000 troops, but after all, they are all temporarily mobilized peasant soldiers! Those who have combat effectiveness are only more than 400 ashigaru who have completed their own training! The forces of the Hondo family and the Tozawa family have just finished a victory! Take advantage of the victory, and the strength should not be underestimated! Moreover, the ashigaru of both families are veterans of long-term battles, and the situation in Nagano Castle is still not optimistic! ”

Soji Tsugawa nodded and said, "Yoshikawa-sama's concern is not unreasonable, and we will face a fierce battle next. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the safety of the Tsugawa family is all in your hands, everyone must work together to defend Nagano Castle!"

"Hi"

......

In Hondo Castle, Hondo Tadashi and Tozawa Michimori also rushed back to Hondo Castle.

"Lord Tozawa, presumably the Tsugawa family also learned the news that our army had defeated the Onodera coalition army, gave up attacking Hongdo Castle, and withdrew its troops to go back!" Hondo said with a smile.

Tozawa Michimori nodded yes and said, "Even if Tsugawa Soji withdraws, we can't let him go easily. The Tsukawa family is in the rear of our army, and it is always a trouble! ”

"What Lord Tozawa said is very true, if our army wants to attack the Rokugo family in the south, it must defeat the Tsugawa family first, otherwise the Tsugawa family will inevitably attack the rear of our army again!" Hondo said in agreement.

"Lord Hondo, where is the nearest castle to our Tsugawa family?"

"It's Nagano Castle. Nagano Castle is located next to Mt. Hinachi, a branch of the Ou mountain range, which cuts off Senhoku-gun and divides it in two. If you want to attack the Tsugawa family, you must first capture Nagano Castle. Hondo replied.

"In this way, Soji Tsugawa should be in Nagano Castle by now! He ordered his troops to rest for a while, and then attacked Nagano Castle. ”

"Ha~Ha"

......

In Liangping City, Miki Naoxiang really counted the materials in Liangping City.

At this time, a peasant soldier ran in.

"My lord, something happened in Onoda Village outside Ryohei Castle! More than a dozen rioters are attacking Ono Village, and the head of Ono Village is sending people to ask for help! ”

"What? A pinch? Miki Naogo said in surprise: "There is no temple power in the territory of this family, how can there be a fight?" ”

"I don't know, I just know that Ono Village was attacked by rioters just now, many villagers were injured, and some villagers have been killed!"

Miki Naogo hurriedly said: "Quick, notify the peasants and soldiers in the city to gather!" Follow me Onoda to suppress the rebels! ”

"Hi"

On a hill outside Liangping City, dozens of people were lying in ambush.

"Young master, will Liangping City send troops out?" One of them said.

"Rest assured, the people in the city will definitely come out when they learn that there are rioters attacking the village. I asked Tosaburo to pretend to be a rebel with only a dozen or so people, so that the people of the Tsugawa family thought that we only had this little strength and would definitely come out. ”

"Look! Someone is coming, be ready, don't make a sound! ”

"Hi"

Miki Naogo led the peasant soldiers all the way and quickly advanced in the direction of Kogi Village. Miki Naogo, who didn't know it, entered the ambush circle after a short time.

The young man led by him jumped up violently, "Kill!" ”

"Rush" For a while, dozens of people who had been in ambush suddenly rushed down.

"It's not good, it's a plan" Miki Naogo reacted from shock, "Don't panic, steady!" ”

The young god called, "Listen, people from the Tsugawa family, I am the son of Ryohei Yoshishiki, the lord of Ryohei Castle, Ryohei Yoshiki!" The Tsugawa family attacked my Ryohei Castle and killed my father! Now that the Tsugawa family is facing an invasion of the Tozawa family and the Hondo family, why don't you surrender as soon as possible to avoid needless sacrifices"

The young man is none other than Yoshiki Ryohira, the son of Yoshiki Ryohira. It turned out that when the Yoshikawa Hiroke attacked Ryohei Castle that day, Ryohei Yoshiki was hunting outside the castle, and when he learned that Ryohei Castle was attacked, he hurriedly returned. However, Ryohei Castle has been captured, and the head of Ryohei Yoshiki is also hung on the castle tower.

Seeing that there was nothing to do, Liangping Yoshiki could only gather some of the defeated soldiers of the Liangping family who had escaped from the city and hide in the mountains and forests outside Liangping City, waiting for the opportunity.

When he learned that the Hondo family had won a great victory and that the Tsugawa family's troops had gone to support Nagano Castle, he took the opportunity to recapture Ryohei Castle, and what happened before.

Miki Naogo saw that the ambush was a member of the Ryohei family, and knew that he couldn't be good. Immediately said loudly: "The Liangping family has been wiped out by this family, and you, Liangping Yoshiki, are trying to recapture Liangping City with such a few people!" What wishful thinking! Kill me! ”

After saying that, he commanded the peasant soldiers to start a counterattack.

Ryohei Yoshiki saw that Miki Naogo was unwilling to surrender, and he was also furious: "Kill! Not a single one left."

Randomly, the two forces were entangled together.

Although the people brought by Yoshiteru Ryohira were not very well equipped, and some of them did not even have a Jinkasa (a type of ashigaru), the people brought by Miki Naogo were not much better.

The ashigaru who stayed behind in Lianghei Castle were all temporarily mobilized peasant soldiers, most of whom were still wearing agricultural clothes and had bamboo guns in their hands. Originally, Miki Naogo thought that he would only face some chaotic people, and the situation was urgent, so he had not had time to distribute equipment to the peasants and soldiers.

In this way, a group of poorly equipped Ryohei family defeated the army and fought with the equally poorly equipped Tsugawa family peasant soldiers.

The men under Ryohei Yoshiki are also Ashigaru who have experienced the battle, and they are not at all able to resist by a group of peasant soldiers. Although Miki Naogo is a man of great courage, he is powerless in the face of such a situation.

"Ahh Another peasant soldier fell. In a short time, more than 10 of the 50 peasant soldiers were killed and wounded, and the remaining peasant soldiers also lost their fighting spirit. Under the sharp offensive of Yoshiki Ryohei and others, he was gradually defeated.

"Run away" As one peasant soldier fled, the other peasant soldiers also began to flee towards Liangping Castle. Miki Naogo had just killed a Ryohei family ashigaru, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't run, come back quickly." ”

However, such a feeble cry had no effect on the frightened peasant soldiers, and on the contrary, more and more people fled.

Miki Naogo had no choice but to give the order to retreat, and instead of being defeated here, it was better to return to Liangping Castle to defend the city. As he spoke, Miki Naogo also beckoned the peasant soldiers to withdraw towards Ryohei Castle.

Seeing Miki Naogo and the others retreating, Ryohei Yoshiki hurriedly shouted: "Pursue, take advantage of the situation to recapture Ryohei City"

"Hi"

Then. Yoshiteru Ryohira then commanded his Ashigaru to begin the pursuit.
