One hundred and fifty miles from Akita Castle to Yukatsu Castle.

Although the sea road was bumpy all the way, and there was no good rest when he arrived at Akita Castle, it only took three days for the Xuanfu camp to arrive at Xiongsheng Castle from Akita Castle, and along the way, two village gates were forced to land.

Xiongsheng Castle is the second enclosed gate after Akita Castle, that is, the official residence has an inner gate, and the castle is an outer gate, and compared to the village gate, the castle gate is thicker, the ditch is wider, and there is a corner tower and arrow tower on the part of the earth wall.

In the Toei Tohoku region, Dewa Province and Mutsu Province, in fact, Heiankyo has very little influence here.

In these two countries, the most powerful are the Kiyohara clan and the Abe clan, and the two families are strong for the same reason, they are both the chief prisoners who have guarded the place for generations, and as the Ezo captives gradually merge with the Wa clan, they have become rebellious samurai, and the Kiyohara clan and the Abe clan have gradually become stronger.

Even the taxes paid by the Abe and Kiyohara clans to Heiankyo have long been insufficient, and it is only a matter of time before they stop paying taxes, depending on the trend.

Abe's and Kiyohara's even have similar origins, they are said to be the side branches of the ancient emperor, so they were given surnames, but there are rumors that Abe's and Kiyohara's are actually more Ezo blood, and even Abe's once adopted Ezo's adopted son, and now they may be authentic descendants of the Ezo people.

Out of the feather Kiyohara clan, the base camp is this heroic city.

When the soldiers of the Xuanfu battalion appeared under the Xiongsheng city, it was obvious that the Xiongsheng people had no defense, and the peasants who were plowing in the spring outside the city fled into the city in a hurry.

Xiongsheng Castle is not as big as Akita Castle, and the castle is mainly inhabited by the Kiyohara clan and the samurai who vassal in the Kiyohara clan, and the villages scattered outside the castle are inhabited by peasants, but when the Arasho attack comes, the peasants will flee into the castle for refuge, but the last time Aarazoi attacked here was decades ago.

Yes, even for a long time, the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate of the gate was not closed, and in the end, a group of warriors poured out of Hula, out of the trench, and the Lu Ning army was opposite, and there were about three or four hundred warriors on the other side.

The gate of the gate of the city was not closed, but Lu Ning did not order the soldiers to rush into the city in one go, and even, the archers were hidden in the distance, and only three hundred armor soldiers were arrayed.

There are three or four hundred samurai, and there are seven or eight generals in front of the battle wearing gorgeous armor, all of whom should be children of the Qingyuan clan, and most of the rest of the samurai are clothed and have few pairs of bamboo armor.

Lu Ning rubbed his nose, as if he had exaggerated the difficulties a little.

Although it is much less difficult to decide on a strategy from the north and south that only later generations dare to decide than to directly attack the core area of Dongying, the problem now is that he is still surprised by the weakness of the armed forces in the northeast of Dongying.

After all, when the Yuan conquered Dongying, Dongying's military equipment was still remarkable, but I think about it, because in the next three hundred years, Dongying experienced great changes, and the official power of the samurai group, which made it look completely different from the Heian period.

Although there are many Internet words that demean ancient times such as Dongying during the Warring States Period, in fact, most of the time, the armament of Dongying before modern times still has a very systematic system.

The question is, who gave these Dongying samurai who dared to fight with a few pieces of cloth to cover themselves?

Probably, I thought that the three hundred armor soldiers behind me were all bluffing? Those heavy armors are all painted with bamboo chips? They also couldn't imagine that hundreds of warriors covered in iron armor could be assembled to form a legion, which was simply a non-existent concept.

As for the three hundred armor soldiers, even the vital parts of the torso are plate armor structures, and how they are different from scale armor, chain armor and the like, for them, it is completely fantastical.

Lu Ning sat on the bamboo chariot, carrying the bamboo chariot were two tall Ezo slaves, and Pei Long and Pei Hu guarded on both sides. In fact, Lu Ning assigned them two family affairs, which originally made them not have to follow the Eastern Crusade, and they could have a good life and cultivation after marriage, but the brothers even cried with Huang Baoyi and pleaded for intercession, which was bitter and troublesome, Lu Ning was funny and angry, reprimanded them, and brought them here.

In addition, Fu Qian, the commander of the Xuanfu Battalion, sat on a horse with heavy armor all over his body, and he was also very close to Lu Ning.

The samurai on the opposite side are all foot soldiers, and those large armored samurai have horseback, but they rarely fight on horses, only as a tool for riding, first, because of the terrain, it is not suitable for the cavalry brigade to act, and historically to the present, the Dongying people have not formed the tactics of cavalry charging at all; secondly, the local horses are short and have short legs, so they are not suitable for charging; Third, if the cavalry was not large-scale, it would have played a limited role in real warfare.

When Lu Ning looked at the other side curiously, Ichiro Ohno was shouting loudly, the warriors of the Holy Dynasty were in Dewa and Mutsu Okuyi to destroy the barbarian Ezo, and they wanted Kiyohara Masamori to swear allegiance and crusade against the barbarians together.

Kiyohara is the current head of the Kiyohara clan.

The feeling in Ichiro Ohno's heart when he shouted the name of the head of the Kiyohara family and made him come out and surrender was more comfortable than eating fairy fruit, and he had never been so angry.

Moriichiro Ohno even quoted scriptures and said that Yamato Province was originally a vassal of the Holy Dynasty, and hundreds of years ago, the emperor was canonized by the Holy Dynasty.

Of course, Ono Moriichiro didn't know this ambiguous history in the Han Dynasty, it was Lu Ning and Monk Rong Zhen and Ono Moriichiro chatting, saying that Dongying has been a subordinate country of the Central Plains since ancient times, and Rong Zhen will not refute it, but Ono Moriichiro remembers it in his heart.

"Despicable fellows, babbling like madmen! Do you dare to fight with me?! In the Heroic Samurai Regiment opposite, a young man in gorgeous armor ran out quickly, holding a long sword in both hands, and shouted loudly.

The so-called knife hunting is now also a kind of one-horse fight, and the two sides of the heads-up contest, the losing side has to offer the weapon, and it also has the meaning of surrender.

Ono Moriichiro was stunned, he was a little weak for a while, after all, the children of the Kiyohara family in Yukatsu City are famous in Dewa, this Kiyohara Yoshikatsu has been called "Ghost Cutting Boy" since he was a child, and when he was six years old, he held a long knife in front of the Buddha and vowed to kill the evil ghosts in the world.

However, feeling the deep gaze behind him, Moriichiro Ohno gritted his teeth and went to pull out the long knife at his waist.

Although, in terms of swordsmanship, Ichiro Ohno Mori knew that he would not be the opponent of this "ghost cut boy" at all, but the big armor given by the master's family, when he put it on, he didn't know that although it was extremely heavy, but the protection was impenetrable, I really don't know, how this large piece of iron armor was spliced together, let alone how this god-refining iron was forged? If it is sent to Kyoto, although those ministers are not interested in these at all, they will inevitably cause a sensation and sell at sky-high prices.

With this armor of the Holy Dynasty, Moriichiro Ohno felt that he might have the strength to fight the Oni Kirito.
