On the castle tower of Kawasaki Castle Honmaru, Kawasaki Left Guard saw a scene under the castle, his miserable white face gradually became bloody, he jumped and jumped with excitement, not at all like he was stabbed, his left shoulder was tied with thick gauze, that was the conspiracy encountered when guarding Honmaru, the long scar made his left hand completely lose the strength to hold the knife, but he still held the knife in his right hand to resist the attack of the Tokushige Temple people, and inspired the hearts of the remnants of the defeated generals who retreated to Honmaru.

Kawasaki Zobei shouted loudly: "Reinforcements are coming, our reinforcements are coming, yes, our reinforcements are coming, everyone hold on, the victory belongs to us." ”

Reinforcements, is that our reinforcements? This shout aroused the fighting spirit of the defeated soldiers of the Honmaruchi to continue to play with guns, dispelled the physical fatigue of the soldiers, and strengthened their belief to continue to defend. Suddenly, "Reinforcements! Our reinforcements! With tears in their eyes, the soldiers shouted and cheered loudly, responding to the shouts of Kawasaki Zubei, but some of the old ministers looked at the movement under the castle with puzzled eyes, and found the banner of the Takeji Feather Sparrow swaying in the air, which was the flag of the Date family.

Have we already taken refuge in the Date family?

The way to survive in the troubled times of the Warring States period is to rely on the strong, surrender to surrender is a very common thing, if every little tyrant adheres to the spirit of bushido, where is there still the possibility of inheriting the family name and continuing to survive in the troubled times of the Warring States period.

I don't know how many families will perish in the entire Warring States period for more than a hundred years, and there will be no such a strong family as ZĂ i now.

The ministers did not express any dissatisfaction with the Date family, but they were grateful for the kindness of the Date family who came to the rescue.

Of course, if there are strong and powerful names in the future, they will not hesitate to abandon the Date family and join the powerful side, which is the way to survive in the troubled times of the Warring States.

Kawasaki Sabei was excited to think about whether to counterattack Ninomaru now and then go down the mountain to attack the Tokujoji people who were already showing signs of collapse, but his father Kawasaki Shimotomomori saw the movement under the mountain, and there was a hint of something else in his eyes, and he walked to his son's side and said in a low voice: "Sabei, now that the victory of the Date army is very obvious, if we attack them while they relax after defeating the Tokushigeji people, how many chances will we have to defeat them." ”

It's no wonder that Kawasaki Castle has this thought, and now Kawasaki Castle has not officially submitted the oath, and he is not yet a subordinate retainer of the Date family, and he sees the chaos under the castle and knows that this is an opportunity for them. He was still obsessed with gaining the territory of the Date family.

Kawasaki Sabei was startled when he heard this, this thought was too terrifying, and he took a deep breath and said: "Father, the traitors of Tokushige Temple are burning, killing and looting under the city today, and the Ninomaru warehouse is in their hands again, and some of the grain and grass have been burned, even if we win the final victory, how much surplus grain will there be to spend this year and next year." Moreover, before the war, the output of the Date army was already much higher than ours, and they newly obtained Stone Crab Mountain City and Dasong City, so where is there still room for counterattack under the addition and subtraction. ”

Kawasaki Shimomoru sighed, understanding that his son was right, a random arrest by the Tokushige Temple made Kawasaki Shimoto completely collapse, the population was greatly reduced, and most of the food planted was wasted, this year and next year will be very difficult days, and only by relying completely on the help of the Date family can we get through this famine year.

He sighed softly: "In this way, we will not only have to be subordinate to them, but we will also be deprived of the most basic right to recruit soldiers. I'm tired, so I'll take care of the rest. ”

Kawasaki Sabei knelt down and bowed: "Yes, father, I will definitely keep the name of the Kawasaki family!" "Raising his head, he suddenly thought of what happened last night.

Last night, Kawasaki Sabei said that he moved his father Kawasaki Shimomomori, who had long been shaken in his heart, and prompted him to make up his mind to help his eldest son become the new Kawasaki Castle Lord, but it was not Kawasaki Sabei's persuasion, most of it came from disappointment with another son. Hidejiro Kawasaki didn't come in time when he fell ill, and only later came to visit him at the urging of his mother, and he just sat on the porch from a distance and didn't look at him, his eyes were full of peeping up and down to serve his concubine.

Kawasaki Shimoto Mamoru read his mind from Hidejiro's gaze, and understood that once he passed away, his concubines would definitely be humiliated by Hidejiro, the hateful thing, even his nominal stepmother had to peep and humiliate, and there was no resemblance to himself at all, and he looked at Hidejiro and then looked at Zuobei, and then made up his mind to support Zuobei to inherit the foundation of Kawasaki Castle.

The real owner of Kawasaki Castle is Kawasaki Shimoto, and the middle- and lower-level samurai respect Mrs. Xin because Mrs. Xin is the main lady of Kawasaki Shimoto, and Xiao En Xiaohui can only make them have a good impression of you, but it is impossible to make them loyal to you. Once Kawasaki Shimomoru cheered up, all kinds of strange things that happened in Kawasaki City soon reached his ears, especially the fact that Monk Kusumi entered Kawasaki City overnight, which aroused his vigilance.

Although he has a close relationship with Monk Kucheng, he has not reached the point of sharing a wife in the boudoir at night, and he has often heard about the rumors of Mrs. Xin, so he doesn't take it seriously in normal times. But when he fell ill, not only did he not come to visit and serve him, but instead summoned an outsider into the boudoir, which really made him have to think about some more things, and the more he thought about it, the more his heart ached, and he held his chest and gasped, but he made up his mind.

He summoned the middle and upper retainers of the Kawasaki family overnight, and took advantage of the night to announce the order that Sabei should become his heir and acting lord of the castle, and that he would have full authority to handle the affairs of Kawasaki Castle and beyond, while he was ill.

It's just that Kawasaki Sabei didn't expect it, Kawasaki Shimotomoru didn't expect it, and even Mrs. Xin didn't expect that Tokushiji Kusumi would launch an attack on Kawasaki Castle at the same time.

Tokushiji Kusumi let the inner Ying secretly arranged in the gate open, and they suddenly attacked, and the defenders of Kawasaki Castle were too late to resist, and soon the gate was breached, and then it was the Senkan Gate that broke into Ninomaru before the Kawasaki family members who were meeting in the main pill reacted and began to counterattack.

Finally, when the reinforcements arrived, Tokushigeji Kusumi left 4 or 50 people to monitor the rest of Honmaru and set out to fight with the invading Date army.

The corpses of both the enemy and us were scattered together in the belly of the mountain between Nimaru and Honmaru, and the blood stained the belly of the mountain, and it was terrible to see, and there were probably more than 30 corpses lying on the ground.

In the troubled times of the Warring States period, the loss of more than 30 people in a battle of hundreds of people was already quite a tragic battle, not to mention that the casualties in the melee under the city were now approaching 100 people, and the number of casualties was approaching 100 in a very short period of time, so that the Dezhong Temple began to show signs of collapse.

If it weren't for the fact that the Kucheng of Dezhong Temple slashed the heads of the four miscellaneous soldiers one after another, he was able to stop the miscellaneous soldiers from escaping, but he still ran away more than half of them.

Dezhong Temple Huichuan's face was miserable, and the monk's robe had fallen off, revealing the foot tools inside, the bright foot tools of the world, but he was in a very bad mood now, and he was about to rush forward to pull back the Dezhong Temple that had begun to defeat the miscellaneous soldiers, and said in a low voice: "Father can't hold it, so let's quickly lead everyone back to Dezhong Temple, and rely on the strong outer wall of Dezhong Temple to resist the enemy's attack." The monks and soldiers around them were all restless and frightened, not because they didn't have the guts, but because the Date army that rushed up was too brave.
