Although there is a Chesaku River between Erbara and Ota Shrine, the actual straight-line distance is not willing, and the ships have been prepared in advance, so they can quickly come to the rear of the battlefield and accurately insert the middle between Ibaraki Castle and Obara, so that the other side cannot get the news of their attack at the first time.

When the Araki clan had already touched the vicinity of the Nakagawa family's main camp, only the soldiers of the Nakagawa family found that there was an enemy behind them, and this news immediately made Nakagawa Kiyohide a little overwhelmed, but fortunately, he immediately made a decision and immediately sent someone to order the whole army to retreat in the direction of Ikeda Castle.

It sounds like a retreat, but it's actually a great escape, Nakagawa Kiyohide himself has horses, so he left all the soldiers and ran away first, and then the Nakagawa family's main camp stayed behind the soldiers, basically all of them died in the hands of the Araki clan's Tsunaban team, and Nikaido Hideka led his own 400 people and the Kuroda family's 200 long-range crossbows, moving towards Nakagawahara, west of Ohara, intending to block the retreat route of the Nakagawa family's army.

It's just that the rout of the Nakagawa family is too much, and the rout of more than 2,000 people, under the power of survival, easily tore apart the defense system of Nikaido Hideka, but in the process, they themselves suffered heavy casualties, and Nikaido Hideka's team lost more than 30 people. After all, these people are just thinking about survival, not entangled with the Kuroda family's side,

A small group of Nakagawa soldiers did not follow Nakagawa Kiyohide to Ikeda Castle, but retreated in the direction of Shimagun, and they desperately crossed the Chesakugawa River. They are all wealthy families and countrymen from the island county, how can they continue to follow Nakagawa Qingxiu when the defeat is decided.

At this time, Ibaraki Castle didn't have much defensive strength because Nakagawa Kiyohide had almost taken away all the horses, just a few relatives, plus dozens of old and weak soldiers. Kuno Shigeyuki only led people to attack once, and his team of 100 people captured Ibaraki Castle.

Nakagawa Kiyohide was in a hurry when he left, his family except for his two sisters-in-law, all of them were in Ibaraki Castle at this time, Nakagawa Kiyohide's sister Hihime was among them, this girl was just fourteen years old, she was as beautiful as a flower, and she was indeed a rare beautiful woman.

After Silk Hime was given to the Kotera clan by the Araki clan, the Kotera clan recruited Higashihata Sadataka, this guy is currently twenty-eight years old, and because of his intoxication with martial arts, plus he has been out on a long-term campaign, he has not been married, and Kuroda has specially instructed him to let Kotera and Miaoharu find a suitable object for him.

When the Kodera clan saw Hitohime for the first time, he felt that this girl looked like a thoughtful woman, and she was a woman from a samurai family, and she was definitely a good partner of Tohata Sadataka, so he immediately ordered someone to call Tohata Sadataka over.

When Higashihata Sadataka came, he didn't know what he was going to do, but when he saw that there was a silk sister standing outside of the Kodera clan, he didn't know what the situation was, and he was definitely confused by his strength.

"Lord Xiaoji, what are you calling me for?" Higashihata asked, and when he asked, he turned his head to look at Hihime, and couldn't help but think in his heart, what a beautiful woman!

"Inoko Hyosuke, this young lady is the princess of the Nakagawa family, and now she has become a prisoner of the family, I intend to marry this young lady to you!" Kodera asked.

"This ...... It's nothing, but Miss Silkhime, do you agree to marry me? Sadakashi Higashihata asked, looking at Hitohime.

Do you think that Tohata Sadakashi is a little rude in front of the Kodera clan, because Tohata Sadaka has always been a retainer of the Kuroda family, including Nikaido Hideka, Araki Tsuna, Kawakatsu Hirotsugu, and Hijikata Suizo, all of whom are just sent by the Kuroda family to the Kodera family.

That's not the point, if it's a ride, in fact, I don't dare to say that, after all, it's disrespectful, and it's still possible to be punished, after all, this is an era when the registration system is extremely strict.

The main thing is that the relationship between Higashihata Sadataka and Kodera and Miaochun is not bad, he is originally a two-bar character, so during the training class, the relationship with everyone is not bad, it is precisely because of this, he does not have too much restraint in front of Kodera Clan, which is also the requirement of Kotera Clan, after all, at home, Miaochun, Higashihata Sadataka, and Hijikata Toshizo are more familiar with him, and he is also relatively empty in his heart as the head of the family.

But the one who dares to be so casual with him is the big heart of Higashihata Sadataka, and Hijikata Suizo doesn't have the guts, although the Kodera clan has always been very good to him.

"Agreed." Hihime agreed without hesitation.

Hihime is a samurai woman, and he knows what the consequences will be in the current situation, as a princess of a family that is hostile to the Kuroda family, in the face of being captured, because she herself has seen a lot in the Nakagawa family. It's just that the women of the family who were wiped out by the Nakagawa family were all seen before, and now it's themselves who are about to be disposed of.

If she can not marry Tohata Sadataka, then the consequence may be that she will be ruined to death by dozens or hundreds of soldiers on the Kuroda family's side, which she absolutely cannot accept.

As a samurai woman, although she has long been mentally prepared for the women she saw before, from the very beginning, she felt that she wanted to live, as long as she could have a better object and let herself live, it was acceptable. She is still a fourteen-year-old girl, and she wants to enjoy the world more.

Now when he sees the husband that the Kodera clan has prepared for himself, he can still accept it, although Tohata Sadataka is a vulgar person, but his appearance is extremely resolute, and he is also extremely burly, giving people a natural sense of security. The most important thing in this era is nothing more than to be able to survive safely, maybe marrying Tohata Sadataka is a good choice, at least this is a more reliable character.

Tohata Sadataka was surprised by her attitude, this beautiful woman, when he saw it for the first time, he felt that this was a woman who fascinated him, he thought that such a woman should not look down on a samurai like himself! As a result, she agreed without hesitation.

"Is it true?" Sadakashi Higashihata said excitedly.

"Hey! Please have mercy on you in the future. Hihime said shyly.

"Good...... Okay, no problem, you will be my most important family treasure in the future, thank you to Lord Koji. ”[.]
