Chapter 410: The Battle of Yuhou (3)
On the 21st day of September in the 13th year of astronomy, when the noon sun hung high in the sky, the troops of the Andong family, under the agency of Anton Shunji, survived the scorching sun and finally rushed to the bank of the Midai River. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Report!"
Just when Anton Shunji was riding on the war horse and thinking a lot, a detective with several Anton's flags on his back ran over quickly and said loudly to Anton Shunji, "My lord! Enemy forces are spotted ahead! ”
"What!" Anton Shunji was taken aback when he heard this, and then asked eagerly, "How is the enemy's strength?" Who will lead the team? ”
Detective Fan hurriedly replied, "My lord! The enemy's strength is only hundreds, and judging from the banner, it is the enemy Yodogawa castle lord Miki Naogo! ”
"Report!"
At this moment, another detective strode over, "My lord! The enemy forces have occupied the wooden bridge ahead! ”
Anton Shunji's face suddenly changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Tsugawa Soji's movements are really fast!" We took the lead in controlling the bridge before we passed through the Yyogawa River, so we couldn't easily support the Yamamoto Museum through the Yyoyogawa River! ”
After Anton Shunji finished speaking, Oshima, the lord of Yanguan City beside him, helped to speak, "My lord! It is rumored that Miki Naogo is a famous samurai of the Tsugawa family, who once served as the commander of the Tsugawa family's Taiken team, and is also the elder brother of the side room of Tsugawa Soji, and is a rather tricky figure. ”
"In my opinion, why don't you set up a formation on the north bank of the Yyogawa River for the time being, and wait for the detectives of the family to find out the situation of the Tsugawa family before making a decision?" Oshima continued.
Anton Shunji nodded approvingly and said, "Not bad!" In that case, the order goes down! The whole army is arrayed on the north bank of the wooden bridge ahead! In addition, many detectives were sent to investigate the situation of the Tsugawa family, and as soon as they found it, they immediately reported it! ”
"Hah!"
Just when Anton Shunji and others were arranging the formation, Miki Naogo and others on the south bank of the Miyo River also discovered the traces of Anton Shunji and others.
"Miki-sama, Anton's family shouldn't be calling in a short time! According to the following opinion, we can divide the troops into two roads and guard the two sides of the wooden bridge respectively! If the Anton family wants to force their way through the wooden bridge, they will be flanked left and right! At this time, the adults will lead the army to cover the killing, and with the momentum of encircling on three sides, they will definitely be able to defeat the Anton family in one fell swoop! Minato City Garrison Gao Hu Masanobu said calmly to Miki Naogo at this time.
After listening to Gao Hu's words, Miki Naogo nodded and said, "Just according to Gao Hu's words!" ”
"Lord Helong, Lord Kuchiki, the two of you are responsible for guarding the east side of the wooden bridge! As for the west side, it will be left to Lord Nobi and Lord Takato. Miki Naogo said loudly.
"Hah!"
............
While Miki Naogo and others from the Tsukawa family's front team controlled the wooden bridge, the Ando family's troops also smoothly set up a formation on the north bank of the Yyogawa River.
Anton Shunji's main camp was located on Mt. Haktoryu, two miles north of the Yyogawa River, and Noshiro Kanjoshiro Yoshida Keijiro and Iwasaki Castle Castle Castle Tsuyoshiro Matsushita Kenhisa each led 200 troops to garrison the wooden bridge head. On the side, there is also a team of 1,000 people under the owner of Fukaurakan, Yoshiyuki Sato, and 150 people from Oshima, the owner of Iwakan Castle, who is the special team. Taicheng Castle Dai Yasukawa Hideshi led 150 peasant soldiers to guard the grain and grass equipment in the shallow Uchino, which was 4 miles away from the main camp. In addition, Anton Shunji's main camp also had 500 people, and 300 people led by Takeyamano Jiro, the lord of Fengzhangcheng Castle, were on the side.
In general, in addition to the troops in the Yamamoto Building, the number of troops on the north bank of the Yyogawa River was 2,500. Although they are inferior in numbers, they still have the strength to fight at least.
"My lord! After nearly two hours of investigation by the family, the movements of the Tsugawa family have been basically discovered. In the main camp of the Anton family, Yoshiyuki Sato, the owner of the Fukaura Pavilion, said loudly to Anton Shunji.
Now, after the Anton family has killed several powerful retainers in succession, there are only two capable retainers left in the family, Masayoshi Shimizu and Yoshiyuki Sato. However, Shimizu Masayoshi is currently sitting in the Yamamoto Pavilion, and at this time, Anton Shunji is only one important minister by his side.
"How's it going?" Anton Shunji asked eagerly. Now, Anton Shunji's heart is very anxious. In the face of the attack of the Tsugawa family's thousands of troops, the slightest carelessness may lead to a great defeat. But this time is different from the past, if the Andong family loses again this time, then Andong Shunji believes that from now on, there may be no more days when the feathers of the cypress vulture belonging to the Andong family will fly.
Yoshiyuki Sato replied with a solemn expression, "My lord! This time, the Tsugawa family was divided into three routes. One route is led by the enemy general Yoshikage Komura with hundreds of troops, from Shikadokan to the west, and it is expected to attack the main castle of Honkawaki. On the second road, hundreds of people led by the enemy general Akechi Mitsuhisa, united with the forces of the Miura family and the Igme family, were besieging the Honke Yamahonkan. The other road is the main camp of Tsugawa Soji, and the front line of the enemy army is Miki Naogo in front. ”
"What's the situation at Yamamotokan?" Anton Sun-ji then asked.
"It wasn't the elite troops of the Tsukawa family who attacked Yamamotokan, and even if there was Shirabi led by Akechi Mitsuhisa, it would not be difficult to defend the castle with the strength of Yamamotokan." Yoshiichi Sato said confidently, "What's more, there is still a large amount of food hoarded in the Yamamoto Pavilion, which is enough for the ashigaru in the city to survive the winter." Ha ha! ”
"Huh!" Anton Shunji was also amused by Yoshiyumo Sato's breezy look, and then said, "In this way, the main force of the Tsugawa family wants to fight us!" In that case, we're here to wait! ”
"I'd like to see if he Tsugawa Soji can endure the loneliness, or if we hold on long enough!" Anton Shunji's eyes froze, and he said excitedly.
"But my lord, there is still something to tell my lord." Yoshiyuki Sato continued.
Anton Shunji, who was in a good mood, hurriedly waved his hand, "Say!" ”
"Hah!" Yoshiyuki Sato hesitated for a moment, and then said, "It is rumored that the Asari family in the Binai area has also sent troops to the family, so I think that the Asari family has to be guarded against." ”
"Hmm." After Yoshiyuki Sato finished speaking, the smile on Anton Shunji's face also weakened a little, and he said cautiously, "You're right!" Now that all the troops of the family have been concentrated here, it would not be good if the Asari family took advantage of the emptiness in the family's territory to lead an army to attack. ”
"Then in your opinion, how should the family deal with the threat from the Asari family now?" Anton Sunji kicked the problem back.
Sato Yoshiyuki thought for a moment, and then said tentatively, "Why don't you send a retainer to Fengzhang Castle with part of his troops?" There is no navy in the Qianli family, and from the territory of the Qianli family to the Hiyama City of the family, there is only one way to take the Taiping Mountain. And Feng Zhangcheng guards the main road of Taiping Mountain, as long as Feng Zhangcheng can be ensured, then the Qianli family will not be able to threaten the family! ”
"No!" As soon as Yoshiyuki Sato's words fell, before Anton Shunji could answer, a voice came into the ears of the two.
