At this time, the lord of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle is a member of the Yoshikawa family, and this person is the younger brother of the previous head of the family, Yoshikawa Kokyo, because he has been conscientious, so he has been appreciated by Yoshikawa Motoharu and has been given the great responsibility of staying in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Because Yoshikawa Motoharu took almost all the men and horses of Izumo Province and Iwami Province, he was able to make up the 7,000 men and horses. Because the men and horses were all transferred, the guard strength of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle at this time was extremely weak, there were only less than 200 people in total, and these people were mainly old, weak, sick and disabled. None of them are elite soldiers in the true sense of the Yoshikawa family, which also shows Yoshikawa Motoharu's confidence.

Because the defender of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle was conservative, he temporarily recruited two hundred people around the city, basically all of them were relatively young and strong, even if there was a relatively large number of soldiers of the Kuroda family, the Yoshikawa family scripture did not have any execution to defend the city, as for whether he really wanted to hold the city is another matter.

Anyway, before Yoshikawa Motoharu left, when he knew that Yoshikawa was going to do this, although he admired his caution very much, he still felt that he was making a fuss. Because if you can successfully attack Yamanaka Yukimori and Sanada Masayuki, Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, which is located in the northwest rear of Izumo Province, will not be in any danger at all.

However, no matter what, there are only four hundred people in Gassan Tomita Castle now, and most of the people in this number are not considered combat strength. This is the number one fortified castle in Izumo Province with three pills, and all the current guardian forces.

Late at night, in a house close to Honmaru in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, Yoshikawa Iekei was reading a book in the house.

Because Yoshikawa Motoharu has moved his original residence from Iwami Province to Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, the current Honmaru Castle Tower in Tsukiyama Tomita Castle is Yoshikawa Motoharu's residence, and there are also several of his wives and concubines. The Yoshikawa family didn't dare to do anything transgressive, at least on the surface.

"My lord, just now the ninja of the Kuroda family came to tell you that the Kuroda family's team in the Hidden Ambiguity Country has landed in Izumo Country, and it will soon be under the castle." The samurai palace of the Yoshikawa family came to the ministry and said to the Yoshikawa family.

"Oh! Really, the Kuroda family has already docked, and they are already coming, right? Yoshikawa stood up excitedly.

"Hey! I have already received relevant information, and it can indeed be confirmed. Miyajo said.

"In that case, let's go according to the plan, and you can also go down and tell our people what happened!" Yoshikawa said.

"Hey!" After Gong Zhuang Jingshi finished speaking, he turned around and left.

After Yoshikawa Iejing and Miyajo Nobuyo left, he walked outside the courtyard, looked up at the sky, and looked at the moon flickering above his head because of the flowing clouds, but he just watched in silence, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

When the night is ugly, the clouds and the moon are closed, and on the Sanmaru city wall of Gassan Tomita Castle, it is time to rotate the night watchmen. Then the fire at the city gate, the city gate guard could see from a distance, and a group of soldiers came over, presumably coming to take over!

"Hikojiro, go back to sleep!" Said the samurai of the Yoshikawa family, who took the lead.

"Oh! It's Lord Ishino Nobuyo! Why did you come here so early? Ashigaru Kotojiro said with some surprise.

"It's not early, it's ugly time now. It turned out that Lord Fujigoro, who was supposed to come, had already made other arrangements, so I temporarily replaced him in the vigil. Ishino said with a smile.

"I see, then it's no wonder. Time flies so fast, I didn't expect it to be ugly now, it's really time to change shifts. Lord Ishino Jingyuan, it's good that the weather is relatively warm tonight, otherwise I would have suffered. Hikojiro said respectfully.

"Lord Hikojiro, if you suffer or something, don't say any more, isn't it true that the main hall (Yoshikawa Motoharu) left me here to guard Tsukiyama Tomita Castle?" Ishino Jingyuan said solemnly.

"Hmmm! It's Fujigoro-sama, so I'll leave it to you here. ”

"Well, it's slacking off, Ishino Jingyuan is here to you, and we won't have any slack anymore after that." Fujigoro said with a smile.

Seeing Hikojiro walk away, Fujigoro regained his look. Looking at this colleague of his own, a low-level samurai personally promoted by Yoshikawa Motoharu, Ishino Nobuyoto shook his head. He just said that he won't slack off anymore, but there are some things he doesn't know yet, and he doesn't know if he has a chance next time, let's live tonight first!

Ishino Jingyuan turned his head and whispered to a few of his subordinates who came together, "Are you all ready?" ”

"It's all set."

"Then let's do it!" Ishino Jingyuan said coldly.

"Hey!"

Ishino Jingyuan took a few people to face the guard in the city gate, and the remaining few people immediately touched the city gate lightly, and together they forcefully removed the huge bolt behind the city gate, and opened the city gate gently, almost without making any sound, which can be described as silent.

Because there were no other Yoshikawa guards near the city gate, and they had been very careful in their movements, their actions to open the city were not detected at all.

One of Ishino Nobuyoto's subordinates took a nearby torch and came to the bottom of the city gate, he looked at the darkness outside, and just by his own eyes, he couldn't see where the Kuroda family was. But there is one thing he knows, that is, the above has ordered, the Kuroda family's army is outside the city at this time, just waiting for the signal from here.

According to the previous agreement, he turned the torch three times in an instant, and then immediately retreated in order not to startle the snake.

"Lord Dawn, you see that the city gate is open, and there is the signal agreed before." In the mountains not far from the city, Zhang Dabeard saw the city gate open, and then the light of torches appeared, and immediately said to Dawn Xinyuan.

"Attack." Dawn shone his eyes and roared in a low voice.

"Little ones, all attack, go into the city and shout to kill." Zhang Beard ordered.

The more than fifty soldiers closest to the city, all of whom had been following Dawn for many years, were tasked with successfully taking over the city gates, resisting possible resistance in the city, and receiving their companions into the city.

The truth is that everything is easier than Dawn Shinen thought, and Yoshikawa Motoharu did not leave too many of his cronies, because he still trusted Yoshikawa Kinkei very much and paid the price for this trust.
