On June 9, the siege around Yinma City was officially completed.

Yesterday, when I learned that the occupied territory was forced to announce surrender, the Miura family and the Katsuyama family also surrendered to the Asahina family, offered hostages, and were able to gather the broken old troops and join the besieged troops. Now, the number of troops outside the Insight City has more than 4,000 war soldiers, with a total of more than 15,000. On the other hand, the Okabe family trapped in the Insight City is only left with less than 1,500 war soldiers, with a total of less than 5,000 soldiers left. One-third of the more than 20,000 people in the Insight City outside the Insight City also fled to the Insight City to avoid the war. The rest ran to the Asahina family. Yu Qiuhei ordered his subordinates to help them build simple residences at the military camp for them to live for a period of time.

When I learned that Miura Yoshinori and Katsuyama's family had both turned to the Asahina Ichinobu, Okabe Motonobu was helpless and stayed alone in the inner room for an afternoon. The surrender of the Ichi family was because of his misjudgment - he failed to realize that the Asahina family would attack the Ichitani Castle, which led to the arrest of the Ichi family's family. The surrender of the three families was largely due to military failures. In just a few days, the situation completely reversed.

Because of Yu Qiuhei's incredible marching and the damn rumor that he left behind, "The Takeda family may attack", the Okabe family was in a mess and made up a defensive layout that was not against the outside and inside, but was eventually attacked by Akihina Taisho from the middle and broke it in one fell swoop.

Now, Okabe Motonobu no longer sees hope for victory. The morale in Ma Castle is sluggish, the number of people is inferior, and even more serious is the crisis of food and supplies.

Now it is just before the autumn harvest, the old grain is exhausted and the new grain is not collected, and the food is most short of food in the year. Originally, the original castle of Toojiang, the original castle of Ma Castle has always stored a lot of food. However, due to the fact that Imakawa Yoshimoto's operation in the Guiluo a month ago, most of the food stored was taken away by the army. What's more unfortunate is that when he retreated from Yoshida Castle, in order to ensure the marching, Okabe Motonobu did not take away the huge supplies in Yoshida Castle, but only brought the necessary food and abandoned the excess food in Yoshida Castle - which further severed the crisis of food shortage.

As the war approached, many residents of the castle town ran into the Shinma City to hide, and the food suddenly became stretched. The food price in the Shinma City doubled in two days. In the Shinma City, nearly 6,000 people and more than 4,000 troops have been squeezed, and the food consumption has been rapid. Okabe Motonobu estimated that such food consumption would be the most unwilling to see if the Shinma City persisted for at least half a month. For this reason, he deliberately blocked the news that Shinma City was in a food crisis, so as to stabilize the morale of the troops of the Asahina group that the besieged city of the city was not known.

His only hope now is the messenger sent to mediate in Junfu City. The civil war between the two families has begun for more than half a month, and Junfu City still has not responded until now, which is really abnormal. Although the mediation result may be very unfavorable to the Okabe family due to the failure of Okabe Masato - this is better than being trapped in Yinma City.

"Damn traitor." Okabe Motonobu looked at the high-flying maple bird flag on the east side of the castle and cursed fiercely: "The Imakawa family is destroyed by the hands of your fellow travelers!"

On June 1, after the encirclement was completely stabilized, Asahinata Asahi and Semine Shinto prepared to get up and go to Junfu to meet the new head of the family and Shouguini. They were also very puzzled by the slowness of Junfu Castle.

According to the retainers of the Asahina family who stayed in the Shun Mansion, during the period after the news of Imakawa Yoshimoto's death came, Shoukaini was busy stabilizing the situation and establishing his heirs, so he did not pay too much attention to the unrest in Mikawa - she might also feel that the Okabe family and the Asahina family could not fight.

After the news of the civil war between the two families, according to the remaining retainers, Shouguini seemed to have sent many ninjas and immediately began to investigate the so-called "who is the traitor". According to Shinse Shin-sama, Shouguini probably wanted to find out the whole story and announce the mediation and punishment results - after all, the direct-in-chief of the main family had not returned to the Jun Mansion at that time, and she was afraid that she would not be able to suppress the situation. However, this series of intense investigation activities came to an abrupt end after the arrival of the main family's troops.

Originally, after the direct troops returned to Jun Mansion, Shou Guini should have immediately ordered the cessation of internal strife. Even if the traitor could not be found, the supervisors of each family should immediately stop using force and confront each family. However, Shou Guini was abnormal and refused to express his opinion on the disputes on the front line. He just said a few words "keep restraint" and there was no news.

Semeishi Toshi speculated privately that Shoukaini may feel that since the situation between Mikawa and Ohashi is irreversible, she simply did not try to remedy it. She may think that the Imakawa clan is really not prestige and it is difficult to suppress the powerful wealthy clans under her, so she deliberately allowed the wealthy clans to fight intra-fighting, weakening her strength, and thus strengthening the power of the family supervisor in one fell swoop.

Both Yuqiehei and Asahina Taisho agree with this inference - this is a measure that only people with great courage and skill dare to take - Shouguini Ye does have this strength. It is obvious that a lot of casualties were required to attack Macheng, and Asahina Taisho was not willing to do so. Even if he was loyal to the Imakawa family, he did not want the Asahina family to decline due to their severe weakening of their strength. Therefore, he and Sina Shizuki Toshi plan to return to Junfu Castle together to report, providing a lot of evidence to prove that the Okabe family was a traitor, so that Shouguini would make a decision, thus ending the civil war.

After the two supreme commanders left, the burden of commanding the entire army fell on Yu Qiuping. Although he was good at defending, he was very nervous about commanding such a large-scale army for the first time, he could still handle it. He changed the garrison order of the troops, asked the troops over and over again to strengthen the defense lines, built dense fortifications around the four gates of Yinma City, and established a complete support system.

The four gates of the Ima City are responsible for each of the four gates. The Okabe family's most likely breakthrough line - the East Gate, which was set up by Tobaba Bei to defend the camp. At the same time, the Opi family and the Nakane family are also in this direction. The North Gate of the Ima City are responsible for the Asahina family. The Ii family, the Ii family, who defected to the Imai family, are also monitored by the Asahina family and stayed at the North Gate. The less pressured Ximen and Nanmen were handed over to the Semei family, with the Miura family, and the Quasuguchi family, and the Katsuyama family.

Yu Qiuping first dug a trench around the entire Yinmacheng Town, and then placed a row of wooden fences behind it. On this circle, every fifty meters, there will be a high-mounted watchtower, with several archers monitoring the movement of the city. On the periphery of this circle, there are four camps that are set against the door. The camps are all standing on the official road, with a large number of fortifications, trenches, horse-resisting, fences, traps, shooting towers, and earthen walls in front of them.

Once the Okabe family intends to break through, the archers looking out can appear and delay the obstacles as soon as possible. Then, the troops responsible for the defense will use the time obtained by the trenches and fences to quickly enter their own defensive fortifications, while the troops from other directions will come to support or directly attack the city. Yu Qiuping's move will be the main force, directly holding the advantage of defense in his own hands, making the Okabe family passive.

The Okabe family also tried to organize two breakthrough operations on the 11th and 12th, but they were both defeated by Yu Qiuhei. For the first time, the Okabe family attacked the east and pretended to attack the east gate, but in fact rushed to the west. This move did confuse the Asahi Nai group - because the latter also felt that the East Gate was the real main attack direction. When the Okabe family opened the East Gate to send troops, the troops from the North Gate and South Gate immediately began to move to the East Gate to support the east gate. Therefore, when the Okabe family made a large-scale attack, the Semaki family did encounter a crisis of being in the face of the Okabe family. The Miura family was an ally of the Okabe family not long ago. Although the hostages were in the hands of the Asahi Nai group, they did not dare to act rashly, but they did not have much combat effectiveness. The Semaki was therefore in a tough battle, and the Yingmaki located outside the West Gate was besieged by the Okabe family.

So Yu Qiupi reacted quickly. Takababe immediately crossed the somewhat chaotic South Gate troops and rushed directly to the Ximen to support through the castle town. The troops used by the Okabe family to protect the flanks were about to retreat in front of Takababe's guns. The Okabe family had to temporarily suspend the offensive to deal with Takababe. At this time, the troops at the North Gate and South Gate also carried hammers to attack the Shima City, which was in panic in the Ma City. In desperation, Okabe Motonobu had to withdraw from the city, and the first offensive was declared defeated.

Yu Qiuhei also learned from this chaos - it is not allowed to support it indiscriminately. The Okabe family has the Ma Castle and can take advantage of the condescending broad vision and the advantages of inside mobility on the Tensou Pavilion to freely mobilize the troops of the Akibei Ichina on the battlefield to find the weak points of the encirclement. The Akibei Ichina group on the periphery seems much clumsy due to lack of vision. If you support blindly, you may be able to grasp the weaknesses of the Okabei Ichina group with clear vision and break through.

Therefore, Yu Qiuping issued an order - before receiving the order from Yu Qiuping's order, each department should not leave the position without authorization to move, no matter what happens.

During the second breakthrough, the Okabe family did not try to use a plan again, but directly attacked the defense line outside the east gate. If the breakthrough was successful, they could retreat east to Okabe Castle. Yu Qiuhei was not showing any weakness. Tomoba Bei used the fortifications to resist the attack of the Okabe family, and it was not possible to make the Okabe family make progress for an hour. After confirming that the entire Okabe family was dispatched, Yu Qiuhei also ordered other troops outside the gate to come and support him, defeating the Okabe family who was trying to break through. Okabe Motonobu retreated and retreated to Yanma City, and was unable to attack again.

After two failed attacks, the number of soldiers available to the Okabe family in the castle also decreased significantly, with nearly 3OOOFF soldiers casualties, and morale further declined. Although the Aohina group outside the castle also suffered more than 2OO in two battles, due to the huge total number of people, the ability to endure casualties was stronger, and morale became higher.
