"Matsuchiyo, what are you doing? We are going to evacuate!" Asahi Nata Kazu looked at his younger brother suddenly rode his horse and said loudly, angrily.
However, Taehyung Asahina did not hear it, and ran towards the city gate without looking back. Although Taehyung usually rebelled, this time the feeling made Taehyung feel a little strange. After he ordered a few retainers to ask them to rectify the troops, he immediately rushed to chase his younger brother.
Finally, at the gate of Junfu Castle, Akai Taisak stopped Akai Taihyung, grabbed his reins, and whispered in an angry voice: "Matsu Chiyo! What are you doing! We are going to withdraw back to Kagawa Castle quickly! If you don't obey discipline and make trouble, what should you do if Takeda Army chases you?"
"I won't leave, brother." Asahina Taehyung's attitude was unusually tough this time, without even a single word of excuse. He grabbed the reins from Asahina Tae's hand and whispered straightforwardly: "I want to keep Shujun Mansion!"
"What kind of Jun Mansion to guard? What are you going to guard?" Asahita Ao was a little annoyed by his brother's ignorance and innocence. He raised his whip and pointed to the east. "The Takeda army has 20,000 people, and we only have 800 people on hand now. How can we defend Jun Mansion? Hurry up and retreat to the troops gathered in Toru River to quickly!"
"I don't need brother, please leave someone for me. I'll come to guard the Jun Mansion alone!" Asahito grabbed the whip raised by Asahito, pulled it hard, and almost threw it off.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Akaneta smiled furiously, and his tone gradually became severe, "That's going to die!"
Asahinata Asahi originally thought that Asahinata Taehyung would continue to quarrel with him loudly, but after hearing the words "Send to death", Asahinata Taehyung seemed to suddenly calm down and the anger on his face quietly dissipated.
"I'm going to die." Taehyung, the horse whip he had just grabbed, threw it to the ground, and said this sentence in an extremely calm and firm tone.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment, causing the expression on Aobi Naita to change rapidly. He suddenly realized that he had been raising his brother who had been playing with him since childhood and had no right skills, and this time he was serious.
Is he going to die for the city?
So he also panicked and asked quickly with some anxiety: "Matsu Chiyo? What do you mean? Are you going to die for the city? Don't do stupid things, the Imakawa family still needs you! We need your ability to defend Kagawa Castle! You are not giving up on yourself yet..."
"I'm not martyrdom, but martyrdom." Asahina Taehyung interrupted Asahina Taehyung with some impatientness, looked at him with a very sad look, and asked softly: "It's over, do you think the Imakawa family still has hope?"
Asahina Taehyung's words suddenly stopped Asahina Taehyung. The latter's mouth twitched twice, then lowered his head helplessly - this was a question he had been avoiding for a long time, and he had an answer in his heart. However, yesterday's defeat made the answer to the question clearer.
With the fall of Kamahara Castle, the route of Hojo reinforcements has been blocked. The entire Suruga is now without any danger and is destined to fall into the army of the Takeda family. After Tokugawa Ieyasu received the news of the defeat of the Imakawa family yesterday, he would definitely send troops to Toru to pick the fruits of victory. The Imakawa family is already desperate.
"Yes, brother, you actually know it in your heart." Asahina Taehyung looked at Asahina Taehyung, smiled bitterly, and shook his head, "Our Imakawa family is already doomed this time."
"Then you can restore the country in the future!" Chaobinata suddenly raised his head, and his tone suddenly increased. "What does it mean to give up your life casually like this? Live well, and when the master has the opportunity to restore the country, stand up as a servant to devote his loyalty!"
"On the contrary, I wanted to die for the city just because the master family could restore the country one day." Taehyung Kanei smiled and whispered as if he had already looked down on life and death.
"I don't remember how long ago it was. Once I talked about the restoration of the country with my younger brother. I asked him, there have been so many families and countries that have perished since ancient times. Why have some been restored and some disappeared forever?"
"He told me that because those families that could restore their country have never disappeared. Its spirit, its beliefs, and its soul have been passed down in the world and existed in the hearts of every minister. This will support every minister to fight for the revival of the master's family."
"Then brother... If the Imakawa family is destined to perish, what do you think we should leave for the world?" Taehyung shrugged his shoulders, smiled bitterly, turned his head, and looked at the Shinfu Castle helplessly: "The family is civil war, exiled Tathaya. Going against the way, the Toshiba is in chaos. Okabe Motonobu surrendered, the Katsuyama family surrendered, and Sena Nobuki surrendered. These are all genealogies that have been deeply favored by the Imakawa family! Now the family is about to perish, but no one dies. How should we face the Imakawa family's ancestors? How will the world view our Imakawa family! Kazuhara Castle surrendered without fighting, and Ejiri Port surrendered without fighting. If the Shinfu Castle, which has been the Imakawa family for hundreds of years, will we face the Imakawa family's ancestors? How will the world view our Imakawa family?"
"At that time, the family will perish, and the only thing that remains in the hearts of the remains of the remains of the remnants and the world will be to surrender cowardly, fight internally, and flee without fighting! The world will look down on the Imagawa family, the Imagawa family will become a laughing stock, and the remnants will be ashamed of being the retainers of the Imagawa family! How can such a family restore the country? Without the will to support it, how can we survive this troubled world?"
Asahi Naitaki listened to his younger brother's talk in a daze... This was the first time in so many years that his younger brother made him feel strange and mature.
"So brother, I want to stay in Shunjun Mansion, even if I am the only one." Asahito said, he grabbed his horse's belly and rode his horse to the side of Asahito Taicha, and took the samurai sword cemetery that the Asahito family had passed down from generation to generation from his waist. Asahito Taicha was stunned for a moment, without objection.
"I am the samurai of the Imakawa family. Even if I am the only one, I will defend the samurai and never abandon the samurai and flee!" Asahito put the samurai on his waist and said in a deep voice: "What future generations think of is that even if there is only one samurai of the Imakawa family, they are willing to fight to the end for the samurai! My will will be passed on to the descendants, to all the Imakawa family's remaining ministers, and to support them in fighting for the restoration of the country!"
Asahi Naita looked at his brother's firm eyes, and was silent for a while, and suddenly said:
"If I stay and die for death, you will accompany your lord to Kagawa Castle. If Kagawa Castle really can't defend it, you will find a way to escape to the Hojo family." He said while trying to get back from his younger brother's waist. "You are right, the Imakawa family will be destroyed, and the Asahina family will definitely not die for death! But you are still young, and this responsibility should be borne by me, as the head of the family."
"No, brother." Asahitomi, turned his horse to the side, and staggered the hand of Asahitomi. "Since childhood, I have caused you a lot of trouble. Every time I have any trouble, I will push you, do easy things yourself."
"And now, it is so simple to die for the city, but it is so difficult to protect the lord and the blood of the Imakawa family, and survive until the restoration of the country."
"Please allow my brother to be willful again!" Taehyung of Binata respectfully bowed to Taehyun of Binata, and finally looked at his brother deeply. Then he grabbed the horse's belly, turned around and rode his horse away, and rushed straight into the west gate of Jun Mansion.
"Let me die, brother, go and walk the most difficult road."
·
At noon on April 27, when the pursuers of Takeda's family arrived at the east of Junfucheng, they found that the east gate of Junfucheng was wide open and there were no soldiers guarding the city.
However, the two flags of the Imakawa family stood on the top of the city, clamoring in the wind.
In front of the city gate, there was a young samurai warrior not wearing armor but wearing a samurai suit. The clothes were clearly painted with the family patterns of the Asahina family. He stood alone in front of the city and in front of the Takeda army, looking so small but so powerful.
"What does this mean?" As a pioneer, Masao Nobuki Takasaka frowned slightly when he saw this. Before he could send someone to ask, the samurai standing in front of the door had already shouted out the answer.
"I am the family tree of Imakawa, Akihina Taehyung of the Yoichina family!" Asakihina Taehyung faced the vast army of the Takeda family, spread his arms and shouted with great courage: "Kid Kakai! Someone dares to come and fight for my life and death! If you win, I will let you enter the Shin Mansion City! If you lose, don't think about going here!"
"Empty city? A cavalry?" Takasaka Masatoshi had never seen such a situation before. He took off the mask on his face in surprise and showed his pretty face. In the army, he always used a mask to hide his feminine face to prevent his prestige.
"Your Highness, please give me instructions." A retainer beside him asked respectfully, "How should we do it?"
"I don't have to pay attention to him. Send a reconnaissance cavalry to see if the other city gates are open, and then investigate the situation in the city and whether there are ambushers." Masatoshi Takasaka pursed his lips and ordered calmly.
Soon after, the reconnaissance cavalry ran back from the direction of each city gate, and the information they brought was exactly the same: all four gates were open, and there was no sign of military activity.
"It seems that it's just a brave man." Takasaka Masashiro smiled slightly, then slowly put on the mask, and ordered: "I'll order the entire army to advance, and those who resist will be killed."
"Hey hey, Gensuke, what do you mean!" Just as Masatoshi Takasaka's troops were about to be dispatched, Masatoshi Naito, the commander of the second team, rode his horse to the front of the formation and waved his hand to stop Masatoshi Takasaka's actions.
"Your Highness Changfeng, I wonder what advice is there?" Although the status of the two sides is almost the same, Takasaka Masatoshi still politely salutes Naito Masatoshi, who is qualified to be older than him.
"Didn't that Masahito Hinataehyung ask for a cavalry? Why did you attack the whole army?" Naito Masatoki asked in surprise.
"Your Highness the Lord of the Pavilion, please take down the Shingen City as soon as possible, and not waste time." Takasaka Masatoshi meticulously retelled Takeda Shingen's orders, "How can we delay the orders for a horse?"
"But he has launched a challenge, how can he not respond to the challenge!" Naito Masatoto seemed a little dissatisfied with Masatoshi Takasaka's behavior, and his tone increased slightly.
"His Highness Changfeng, I think that the battles that can be avoided must be avoided. There is no need to fight unprepared battles." said Masano Takasaka, who has always had the reputation of a general who escaped from the war.
"But our Takeda family is a grand man. If he doesn't even dare to accept the cavalry initiated by the other party alone, he will inevitably become a laughing stock of the martial family!" Naito Masato shook his head firmly, and waved to his servant. The servant nodded in understanding and then ordered a powerful general in the army to take off his armor, and walk towards Binataehyung not far away with his sword.
"Your Highness Changfeng! If you are missing a fight, how can you explain to your lord?" Takasaka Masatoshi was a little anxious and asked dissatisfiedly.
