Fear and despair could not save Takeda Takanobu, who had long known that the Date family would not let him go, and there was a time when he thought that the Date family had forgotten about him and forgotten the betrayal they had made. He never thought that the Date family, who had been dormant for three years, would stretch out their greedy claws to him, tearing a piece of flesh from his heart, and the cone-like pain quickly overwhelmed him, making him feel completely suffocated.

Takeda Takanbu rode on the horse, frightened and frightened, his hands and feet were at a loss, his legs were clamped on the horse's back and trembling, his face was dazed and dumbfounded, his eyes were glazed, his hands were tightly grasping the reins, and he felt more and more desperate.

What should I do? Takeda Takanbu looked at the soldiers who were also at a loss, and the desperate and helpless murmur sounded particularly gloomy and terrifying, he didn't want to die, yes, he didn't want to die, the despair that Yutoyo Yamana once gave him, and finally he survived.

Now, when Date Jun arrived, he was even more desperate than when Yamana Yutoyo gave him, and he fell into the hands of the Date family, but he was desperate, he knew that no one could save his life, and the only way to survive was to grasp the hope of despair on his own.

People often reach the time of despair, but also able to calm down, make up their minds to make the final decision, not to perish in despair, just in despair, Takeda Takashin is now in the danger of internal and external difficulties, up and down, and the coercion of heaven and man, actually calmed down and slowly sobered up.

In desperation, you can only fight to the death, even if you die, you must die together, and even if you can't die together, you must let the enemy feel painful, so as to vent the hatred in your heart. Takeda Takanbu is determined to die, when people are desperate, they must be crazy, since you don't let me live, I will fight with you. One life for another.

Takeda Takanobu let out a low roar, and as the soldiers looked back at a loss, he pulled the reins and galloped away in the direction of Tottori Castle. Takeda Takanshin whipped at the horse, the horse galloped forward, the cold wind swept through his ears, and he couldn't help but say fiercely: "Kill!" ”

Takeda Takanobu's outburst. The flow of people that had been stagnant moved slowly again, and the mental outlook of the soldiers did not change in the slightest, some broke out in despair, and some chose to be confused in despair. In the troubled times of the Warring States, you fight for each other, but it is a civil war between the same race, and they are not without a way out.

Soldiers can choose to surrender, non-Takeda samurai can choose to surrender, and even the people of the Takeda clan are not without a way out. As long as they push out Takeda Takanobu, Masaburo and others to take responsibility, their net worth and lives can still be saved.

Among the more than 2,000 people on the march, only Takeda Takanshin fell into complete despair, and he was the only one who broke out in despair, and the rest of the people were just at a loss, not knowing what to do, and there was still a glimmer of hope in their hearts, and there was no despair.

As a result, Takeda Takanobu was galloping towards Tottori Castle with a whip, and the rest of the people were moving slowly as if they were wearing heavy shackles. Whether it's an ordinary soldier or a samurai lord with a little status. Yang or someone from the Takeda family.

Takeda Takanobu fell into despair, and Katayama Moricho, who had just arrived at Gyeongseok Castle, also felt a headache, and on the day he moved into Gyeongseok Castle, he encountered an enemy who could not avoid it, and could not fight back, but could only endure its wrath.

Katayama Moricho stands on top of the castle of Keishi Castle. A warm dry wind blew across the top of the hill, and in an instant, a strong wind from the south swept across the castle, carrying sand and dust with it. The soldiers who didn't have time to enter Jingshi City took refuge one after another.

Katayama Maenaga watched the panic closely, the wind raging. Sand and dust swept in. Looking at the swept sand, he inexplicably gave birth to a sense of awe in his heart, I have to say that the power of nature is too terrifying, in the face of the power of nature, human beings seem so small and vulnerable.

The Wa country is a country of many disasters and calamities, and when people think of the Wa people, people first think of Mt. Fuji shrouded in white clouds, delicate cherry blossoms, and samurai who wield broadswords and have the courage to cut their stomachs. The impression of the Japanese culture may be as symbolized by these things, with beauty and weakness on the one hand, and martial and brutality on the other. There is a beautiful saying in the Wa country: Flowers are cherry blossoms, and people are samurai.

Looking at the dim sky, he was also shocked by Goto Katsuki, who was standing behind Katayama Maenaga, and he sighed: "I never thought that the climate behind the mountain and in front of the mountain would be so huge, and Mimasakaku is still a sunny and warm spring, and when you arrive in Inaba country, it becomes a storm." "The climate of Inhata Country is only strong winds, strong winds with sand and dust, and there is no such thing as heavy rain.

The wind was blowing loudly, so that Katayama Moricho did not hear Goto Katsuki's emotion, he clung to the railing of the castle, although he knew that the wind blowing from the sand and dust was much smaller when it reached Jingshi Castle, and it would not blow him away, but he still needed a psychological support. He said loudly: "It seems that Takeda Takanbu will fight to the death like a violent wind, let the soldiers be ready, and when the wind stops, they will advance towards Tottori Castle, I want to see Takeda Takanobu's decisive death." ”

Goto Katsuki didn't know why Katayama Moricho made such a judgment, but being prepared for a surprise attack was an inevitable lesson for a military general, and he could not be slackened in the slightest until the war was completely won, and once he slackened, he could die.

It was dark all over the place, as if it were night. Instead of standing at the head of the castle and eating the dust, the two of them entered the house, and they could hear the whirring outside, and the power of nature really made people feel powerless.

The wind raged for two days and two nights, and on the morning of the third day, there was a light rain, after which everything calmed down, as if the wind had never come, and it seemed unusually quiet and peaceful.

For two days, the soldiers of the Inaba Raiders were holding their breath and wanted to capture Tottori Castle in one fell swoop, and some of them also made a decision.

But Equestria, Ashiya Castle.

It's not just Takanobu Takeda who is in despair, but also his younger brother Takeda Matazaburo, and everyone in Ashiya Castle to be exact.

Takeda Matasaburo's situation is even more suffocating than that of Takeda Takanobu, no matter whether Takeda Takashin lives or dies in the end, he will not be able to escape the end of his life, even if Takeda Takanobu is lucky to win in the end. Nothing will change Takeda's situation.

Takeda Matazaburo had played tricks on his mind the last time he faced Tajimayama's famous army, and he knew that his brother Takeda Takanbu had already knew, otherwise he would not have plucked the last fruits at the last moment. He also expelled Yamana's army to disperse his military formation.

Takanobu Takeda looked at him and made him shudder. He inevitably felt that the Assassins sent by Takeda Takashin had been waiting for a long time, and once Takeda Takanshin gave the order, the Assassins would act on orders and cut off his head and send him to Takeda Takashin. It was the Sengoku period, and the Assassins were unable to reach the target's head. Then you can only choose to commit suicide by seppuku, otherwise you will not die alone.

A chill swept through Takeda Mataburo's heart. When the news of the influx of the Date army into Inaba Province reached Tajima, the people of Tajima were all relieved, apparently they had learned that Yamana Yutoyo had chosen to cooperate rather than resist.

The pressure of despair was all on the head of the Takeda family, and in Ashiya Castle, Takeda Matazaburo looked at the panicked and uneasy looks of the more than ten assistants sent by his brother, and felt funny, yes. Instead of despair, he was gloating.

Some people explode in despair, some people sink in despair, but few people will feel schadenfreude in despair, and Takeda Matazaburo's hatred for Takeda Takanshin in his heart has exceeded the cherishing of his own life, because he knows that he will die behind Takeda Takanobu. He had time to admire Takeda Takanobu's ugliness, and he had time to watch the panic of the lieutenants who usually didn't take him seriously, and finally had to ask him to be the object of their surveillance.

Takeda Matazaburo has reason to appreciate the ugliness of the crowd. The source of it all was that he had seen an outsider in two days, an outsider from Okayama Castle. Although the person who came was not very handsome, his status in Okayama was not very high, and he could only see the owner of Okayama Castle from a distance. But he represents the will of Okayama Castle and the glory of the Date family, and no one dares to despise the meaning he represents, which is the confidence of Takeda Matazaburo.

Takeda Matasaburo wants to secure his position in front of his future master. You have to pull everyone in Ashiya Castle, and even many people in Inaba to betray Takeda Takanbu and throw yourself into the arms of the new master. He was sure that no one in Ashiya Castle would object, and the look on their panicked faces proved everything, but he didn't say anything. He also had to appreciate the desperation of these villains who flattered and abandoned him in front of Takeda Takanobu, and a hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Despair.

Takeda Matazaburo thought that he had felt the same suffocation two days ago, and if he hadn't seen the man who claimed to be from Okayama Castle two days ago, he would have been as terrified as these stupid things. To know what it was like for the person who fell into the water to hold on to a life-saving straw, he had already felt it two days ago.

In the past two days, the breath of despair has already filled the entire Ashiya Castle, and the anger in Takeda Matazaburo's heart has almost spread, and it will not be fun if it is self-defeating, he suddenly stood up and said, "Everyone, do you want to live or die?" ”

As soon as Takeda Matazaburo said this, the room was silent for a while, of course he wanted to live, looked at each other, and didn't speak. Now the situation in the country is clear, Jingshi Castle has fallen, the door is open, and Tottori Castle has no food, how to defend it.

Takeda Matazaburo's voice sounded again, and he said, "Do you all know the consequences of the death battle?" As samurai, you value your loyalty over life and death, but do you have to think about the life and death of your family and clansmen? Once the resistance is too fierce, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not provoke the Date army to lift the butcher knife. ”

Everyone heard the meaning conveyed in Takeda Matazaburo's words, if they want to surrender to the Date family, how is this possible, now everyone can see clearly that the victory of the Date family is only a matter of time, will they still be allowed to surrender, even if they can save their lives. Where did Takeda Matazaburo get his self-confidence, as an important member of the Takeda family, he was able to find a glimmer of life.

Takeda Matazaburo clapped his hands, and a man in a black kimono appeared on the venue, his arrogant appearance made people know at a glance that it was not Inaba or Tajima's people, plus Takeda Matazaburo's previous words, it was clear where the person came from.

This brother who volunteered to win fame came from a humble background, and was originally supposed to be sent by Tozawa Hakusai to spread rumors, but when he heard the news of the invasion of Inaba Province by Date's army, he entered the city on his own initiative and reported his home, of course, he and Fujii Haogen, played the banner of the Date family.

That is to say, this benevolent brother was born in Tozawa, and was originally a ronin in Kinai, but later because of his agility and courage, he was accepted by Tozawa Baiyunzhai as a subordinate, and he became Tozawa Baiyunzhai's right-hand man. When he saw that Fumigo Ishimatsu had become a samurai, he naturally became envious and jealous. After he came to Ashiya Castle, he was supposed to spread rumors, but because the Inhata Raiders invaded Inaba, the rumors no longer mattered, and he entered the castle on his own initiative. He understood that this matter was harmless.

After the war, even if you want to deal with Takeda Matasaburo, you can't pull his head, you must know that he is not a samurai now, and when the time comes, he will change his name and act as if he never existed, who will ask for an explanation for a dead man. Will no one act in the name of the house of Date, and it will not be counted on the head of the house of Date?

If it can be said that Takeda Matasaburo rebelled, it will inevitably cause a chain reaction, look, even the people of the Takeda family can live, and there is no need for others to follow Takeda Takashin to die, once there is such an idea, it will immediately become an avalanche.

Sure enough, although Takeda Matazaburo was suspicious, no one would give up the last straw and clung to it. In the same way, no one in the conference room was going to die for Takeda Takashin, not even Takeda Takanobu's younger brother had surrendered, why did they still fight to the death.

The brother-in-law, who would change his name at any time, glanced at the people who were flattering him and said, "Today, the wind has stopped, and Lord Katayama will personally lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Tottori Castle. ”

Katayama Moricho, the general of the Inaba Raiders Army, and the future lord of Inaba Country. Seeing that no one objected, Takeda Matazaburo said, "Since the foreign minister has decided to return to the Date family and is about to atone for his past sins, I will immediately put up the banner." ”

On March 30, Ashiya Castle erected the flag of the Date family, indicating the attitude of surrendering to the Date family, and the bad news reached Tottori Castle, like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Takeda Takanobu couldn't believe what he heard for a while, and killed several spies in a row.

Outside Tottori Castle, in the main formation of the Inaba Raiders Army, the generals also looked at each other. (To be continued......)
