Chapter 2 – Future – Part 2

Terabe Castle, Mikawa Bay

We come back to the scene at Terabe Castle as the Tokugawa Army besieges the castle claimed by the Oda clan, Ieyasu and Imagawa forces have had much success and have begun to surround the castle when suddenly news arrives of the Oda's reinforcements moving on the main camp.

"My lord! Oda reinforcements have arrived, they've split in two and are advancing on our main camp and relieve the castle!" The ninja scout reported.

"So, Lord Nobunaga expected our attack I knew this wasn't going to be easy, we must respond in kind, Lord Naomori could you and Master Yasutomo intercept the enemy trying to break the siege." Ieyasu responded calmly to the situation.

"Of course, but what of our main camp we can't leave it undefended." Naomori inquired.

"I thought that Lord Nobunaga would send reinforcements, that's why I had a special plan just in case. Our new riflemen should be able to protect our camp while we take the castle." Ieyasu replied.

Stratagem!

· Use Riflemen to protect the main camp

o Use riflemen to protect Tadazane Honda and Yasumasa Sakakibara.

Back at the Tokugawa Main Camp

"My lords, the Oda have sent reinforcements, and some are attacking our main camp!" A guard came to report.

"Lord Ieyasu was right, it was wise to leave us here, come Oda dogs we will not surrender this camp to anyone." Tadazane bellowed before his men rallying them.

"Master Tadazane and Master Yasumasa we are here to assist you!" A rifle captain leading several riflemen released a volley upon the Oda forces lead by Nobumori Sakuma and Koheita Hattori and delayed their advance.

"They've sent in rifles!? We won't be able to get much closer at this rate." Nobumori said to himself in anger as his men took cover from the whizzing bullets passing by.

(Rifle captains are protecting the main camp. Tadazane and Yasumasa are rallying!)

"We should be able to protect the camp while Lord Ieyasu takes the castle, fight on men!" Yasumasa rallies his men as he takes his spear and faces off against Nobumori in battle.

Back at the Central battlefield

"We must quickly bring this battle to an end. Lady Naotora and Master Noritsura can I entrust you two to assist in the siege with Tadakatsu and Hanzo." Ieyasu asked the two Imagawa retainers.

"Of course, this puny castle ill fall before our might!" Noritsura raced off for battle wishing to seek the glory in taking the main hall.

"Ii clan precept: Defeat only the enemy in front of you. No matter what!" Naotora exclaimed as she raced off to battle as well.

As the battle raged on the castellan, Shigeteru Suzuki was lamenting his current situation.

'Even with Nobunaga's reinforcements, we can't push back the enemy and we have traitors in our midst. Still they can't fight forever so long as the gatess are sealed they can't get in the castle.' He thought to himself as he looked to the battlefield and its current state.

Tadakatsu and Hanzo had been cutting a swath throughout the Oda forces facing off against the senior Oda retainers Yoshinari Mori and Yoshikatsu Mori, Yoshinari's father. Both having stood their ground, but now the only ones left on the field were the Oda reinforcements, Shigeteru, Hidetoshi and Morishige Sakuma. However, the situation was not in their favor.

As the battle raged on Ieyasu made yet another move to open the castle gates once more.

"We'll never be able to take the castle at this rate we must destroy the gates, so we can take the castle and end this battle. Send in the engineer captains we must take this opportunity to take the enemy main camp!"

(Engineer captains have arrived! They're advancing to destroy the Terabe Castle main gates!)

Shigeteru could see the large men with rams and saw what Ieyasu was attempting to do.

"Send out the rest of our reserve units stop those engineers." Shigeteru barked out his orders.

(Oda Army reinforcements have arrived and are advancing to stop the engineers!)

"I knew the enemy would try to stop our plans, send in Nagato to protect the engineers!" Ieyasu quickly ordered his men to signal Nagato to assist his allies.

Stratagem!

· Use Nagato Fujibayashi to protect the Engineer Captain

o Instruct Nagato Fujibayashi to protect the Engineer Captain.

"I have come to serve. I will protect the engineers." Nagato coldly stated as he came upon the battlefield.

"Nagato, I had no idea you were here." Hanzo mildly surprised to see his fellow Ig ninja on the same battlefield.

"The elders allowed me join the Tokugawa, I will serve Lord Ieyasu with my dying breath and protect his dreams." Nagato proclaimed.

"Very well, let us do just that." Hanzo rallied with his fellow comrade and finally the engineers came and started to destroy the meager fortifications.

"We can't let them enter the castle father!" Yoshinari implored his father Yoshikatsu.

"Unfortunately, its seems we no longer have the advantage anymore we can't hold out much longer for now we must retreat and inform Lord Nobunaga of the Imagawa's march." Yoshikatsu instructed his son as they beat a hasty retreat and fled the castle.

"My lord, we have destroyed the gate defenses, we can storm the castle now!" The engineer captain exclaimed to Tadakatsu.

"Very well, all forces rush the castle we must take it and show the world the courage and might of the men of Mikawa.!" Tadakatsu bellowed as his men rallied and the Oda fled in fear even Hidetoshi and Morishige were forced to flee before the night of Tadakatsu.

Finally reaching the top floor of the castle, the Tokugawa meet the traitorous retainer, Shigeteru waiting with some of his men.

"I surrender, all I ask is that you spare the civilians of this castle. I shall pay for my treachery like a man before Lord Yoshimoto." Shigeteru begrudgingly surrendered to his enemy.

Ieyasu in front of his rode in front to receive the man's surrender taking his sword and two of Ieyasu's men began to lead Shigeteru away.

"This victory has shown our wisdom and courage in battle, men may our coming days be ever fruitful! Eh, eh, oh!" Ieyasu cheered before his men.

"Eh, eh, oh; Eh, eh, oh!" Ieyasu's men and retainers began to cheer alongside him.

After the battle

"Lord Ieyasu, it has been an honor fighting by your side but unfortunately all of us must head back immediately to meet with Lord Yoshimoto, but I can only hope after we achieve victory we can see each other again." Master Naomori informed the Mikawa lord.

"I see, I'll tell my son we will meet again, my lady please stay safe, my son seems to care much for you." Ieyasu informed the crimson onna-bushi.

"O-Oh, please tell him I very much would like to meet again." Naotora responded with a small blush to her face.

As the battle finally ended both forces went on their separate ways, the Tokugawa marched back to Okazaki Castle and the Imagawa back to Totomi province.

The first battle of the young Ieyasu Tokugawa has ended, next comes the battle that would change history: Okehazama!

How will the young warlord respond to these chaotic times?
