"Chapter 143: The Curtain Ends"
In order to make the world invisible to my real disease, I have woven a web of lies, and although I have always tried to break free, it has become denser and denser. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

In front of Maxi is the forest of spears and the bloodthirsty warriors of Thales's frenzied assault, and then there is the heavy cavalry cluster of Darnell who turns back and charges, and the remnants of the Spo family are besieged, and even the capital of stubborn resistance is about to be lost.
The previous throwing attack did cause some casualties to the unprepared royal pikemen, but in exchange for the royal pikemen's greater advantage on the battlefield, those pikemen who lost their weapons, and even lost the courage to fight.
The desperate counterattack did not change anything, but only put the soldiers of the Spo family in an even greater predicament, and seeing that these soldiers were about to collapse under the heavy casualties, Shikita Kantai on the city wall immediately began to issue new orders.
The 3,500 soldiers under the command of Kunohe Yasuma, all of whom were loyal to Kunohe Yasuma, had little loyalty to the Spo Kannao and the Spo family, and under the orders of Shikita Kantai, these soldiers quickly opened the gates of the city.
Shikuda wanted to send troops out of the city to fight with the Yanhuang family's army before the Sibo family's army surrendered, in order to leave a good impression on the Yanhuang family's governor, but at this time, he didn't know that his careful thinking had already been seen through by Bai Feng.
There are pros and cons to everything, this is something that no one can avoid, Bai Feng's preferential treatment of the southern family has not only made the Yanhuang family gain unimaginable prestige, but also made those who intend to join the Yanhuang family breed undeserved ambitions.
The Shikuda Kantai and Iwashimizu Yoshikyo of the Spo family did not surrender to the Yanhuang family because of the brutality of Spo Quanzhi, they were more for their own purposes, and in comparison, Kunohe Yasuma's betrayal was much simpler.
As the elder of the Spo family, he is the governor of his own family, so it is impossible for him to go further in his own family like Iwashimizu Yoshikyo, so his ambition is set on the Sibo family, which is about to be destroyed.
In Shikuda's view, the southern family that surrendered to the Yanhuang family in order to survive was not only not destroyed by the Yanhuang family, but was entrusted with important tasks by the Yanhuang family;
The change in the status of the Southern Family in the Yanhuang Family inspired Shikita Kantai, who did not try to make his family independent of the Yanhuang Family, but wanted his family to become an existence side by side with the Southern Family within the Yanhuang Family.
Couldn't Takasui Temple Castle, which originally belonged to the Spo family, be ruled by the Shikita family after the demise of the Spo family? If it weren't for this further goal, how could the cunning Shikita Kantai betray the Spo family?
No matter how brutal and ridiculous Spo Quanzhi was, it did not harm the interests of the Shikita family, and even Shikuda Quantai himself was promoted by him to be the head of the Spo family, and the head of the pen family, that was the highest-ranking retainer in the family after the governor!
Shikita Quantai, who knows better than anyone else in his heart, naturally knows that the Yanhuang family cannot give him the high position of the old man of the pen family, but he doesn't care about the false name of the old man of the pen family, what he cares about is the strongest city in the country of Mutsu - Takasuji Castle!
Of the three largest castles in Mutsu Province, Ishikawa Castle, the Tsugaru family's residence town, the southern family's residence Minohe Castle, and the Spo family's residence Takasuiji Castle, the strongest castle is Takasuiji Castle, the most prosperous is Sanhe Castle, and the most populous is Ishikawa Castle.
In order to obtain Takasui Temple, he must show the governor of the Yanhuang family what he is capable of, and make him understand his importance to the Yanhuang family, so that he can make his wishes come true.
It's a pity that Shikida Kantai, who has only known how to use stratagems all his life, doesn't know that when a family is so strong that there is no need for intrigues, all his stratagems and tactics are just jokes in the eyes of others.
With the strength of the Yanhuang family, Bai Feng needs Shikuda Quantai to help him deal with the Sipo family? Does he need him to help him stabilize the territory of the former Sibo family? The answer is no, the Yanhuang family doesn't need Shikuda Quantai's self-inflicted sentimentality at all!
As soon as the gate of Gaoshui Temple City was opened, Bai Feng let the trumpeters beside him blow the horn of attacking with all his might; hearing the sound of the horn representing the attack, Maxi, Darnell, and Thales immediately made a new decision.
The royal pikemen under Maxi still maintained the original pike-phalanx posture and advanced, while the four Spartan heavy infantry teams on the left and right flanks suddenly disbanded the phalanx and began to carry out a fierce assault attack on the enemy in front of them in units of 100 men!
Thales' 100 warriors, who were not familiar with the sound of trumpets in the Roman army, did not change their attack, but under Thales' direct orders, they shifted their lines slightly to make room for the Spartan hoplites on their flanks.
The more than 800 hoplites under the command of Darnell were supposed to charge the enemy reserve in a wedge-shaped battle formation, but as the horn sounded, Nel temporarily turned the wedge-shaped battle formation into a long battle formation, striving to expand the range of the heavy cavalry!
The three-pronged attack was swift and fierce, and how could the remnants of the Sibo family, who had nearly half of the soldiers without even weapons in their hands, withstand such heavy losses; their so-called desperate resistance was only to increase the morale of the soldiers of the Yanhuang family.
A spear that threw his spear at the wheel had to run as fast as he could to avoid the onslaught of enemy pikemen and samurai, until he picked up a spear from the ground and before he could stand up, he was trampled into mud by the roaring cavalry.
The hopeless battle deprived the remnants of the Spoo clan of their last courage, and their commanders were greeted by the Parthian archers because they stood out from the crowd and wore their precious armor.
With his strength, the sharp arrows fired by the Parthian archers could hardly hurt him, but he was overwhelmed by the charging hoplites, and in a moment of distraction, three sharp arrows pierced his neck and killed him on the spot!
The death of the main general was the last straw that overwhelmed the army of the Si Po family, and in the next second, these soldiers of the Si Po family, who had fallen into collapse, put down their weapons in their hands, raised their hands high, and surrendered to the powerful Yan Huang family army!
At this time, the army sent by Shikita Kantai had not all left the city wall, let alone participated in the battle, and some opportunities, lost them, Shikita Kantai thought that he had lost the opportunity to perform, but in fact he lost the last chance to gain Bai Feng's trust.
Leaving behind the heavy cavalry and Parthian archers who did not suffer a single casualty, guarding nearly 3,000 prisoners, the rest of the guards began to advance in the direction of the gate of Takasui Temple under the orders of Bai Feng.
