A person called Tsumatate Goro responded to the voice and said,
“Let me please”
Yamashita was delighted when he answered,
“You’ve been as supportive of me as Sabzuka and Iwakuma. There’s no reason to turn down your offer. Then, I’ll go to Tateyama and Hiradate and tell Anzai and the others like this.
“Yamashita inherited the deceased master’s heir and possessed two counties. However, Satomi, a fugitive of Yuki, roamed this land, misled the foolish people, gathered nobility, and took over Tojo’s castle by surprise. With that momentum, they are now rushing to Takita. It is also possible that the next target will also be directed there. Yamashita, unexpectedly, formally inherited the territory from Jinyo, and believes that the friendship with the neighboring county has continued. Anzai-dono and Maro-dono’s saving the battle that is happening next door will affect our survival later. If Satomi were to attack the enemy’s rear and take down Tojo quickly, even if Satomi was good at fighting, there was no way he would be able to defend against the enemy on three sides, and he would surely be able to annihilate them. If you were able to easily defeat Satomi, this is your achievement. Takita Castle in Taira County is enough for Yamashita. I will give Nagasa County to the one who conquered Tojo.”
I will politely tell you.”
Say.
Then Togoro looked up and said,
“I’m sorry, but even if Satomi were to perish, wouldn’t it be meaningless to ask for help from others if we gave Nagasa County to someone else and reduced our territory? So why don’t you reconsider?”
Yamashita gloated as he listened to the other senior retainers say,
“Do you think so too? This is my plan. Using Nagasa County as bait, Anzai and Maro will take back Tojo. And if Satomi is destroyed, Anzai and Maro will seek immediate profits. If the two of us were to fight over the land and go to war, one would be hurt and the other would be killed. With this, our country can pacify and seize four counties. Isn’t that an interesting strategy?”
says proudly.
Togoro was completely impressed, and when he received Yamashita’s letter, he lightly armed himself, whipped a swift horse, and left for Tateyama.
By the way, Satomi’s large army took up positions in front of Takita’s castle in the morning and attacked without breathing. . They continued to attack day and night, and it had already been three days, but the castle soldiers hadn’t come out to attack them, and since the guards were exhausted, they only attacked from afar.
Then I saw a warrior, along with those who were approaching the end of the day, drawing their horses toward the bridge of the moat, trying to enter through the castle door on the west. chastity confirms it,
“He’s probably leaving the castle, asking for reinforcements from Maro and Anzai, and is about to return now. Capture him alive.”
I shouted, and the hot-blooded young warriors responded, “Understood,” and chased them.
However, when he saw this from inside the castle, he ordered him to open the west castle door, saying, “Don’t let Tsumatate attack you.” Togoro quickly entered the gap and immediately pulled the bridge. The attacking soldiers had lost their momentum and were rushing to attack blindly. In order for Yoshizane to recall this and tell Sadayuki and others, “If you act out of anger, you will regret it. If they come, the castle won’t be able to take it anymore.The best thing to do is to wait for a gap in their defense and concentrate on attacking after preparing for the back.” He carefully explained, “Prevent Maro and Anzai,” and immediately prepared 500 soldiers behind him. In this way, Sadayuki was prepared in the apse, and furthermore, he sent a man to Tojo to inform Sugikura Ujimoto of the current situation, and reminded him,Don’t neglect the stance of the siege.” Yoshizane and Kanamari rushed to the castle at once. attacked.
