(88106 .) Metropolitan Castle is located at the southern end of the Miyakoshiro Basin, which is surrounded by the Kirishima Mountains and Kyushu Mountains on the northwest side, the Crocodile Tomb Mountains and the Udo Mountains on the southeast side, and the Oyodo River flows from north to south.

This castle was the residence of the Hokago, a wealthy Hyuga clan, and was now captured by the Hosokawa family and became the garrison of the army, with a total strength of 50,000.

The Kitago clan began with the third son of the fourth generation of the Shimazu family, Tadamune, Shimazu (Kitago) Shitada, and his family has always been a wealthy family in the Hyuga country, supporting the Shimazu family in their battles against the liver and Ito families, and repelling the invasions of the two families several times.

In the Battle of Ogawa, the Shimazu family won a great victory and captured the entire territory of Hinata, and the southern Hyuga was given to the Kitago clan.

Yamada Castle, located in the northern part of the capital basin, where the eastern and western armies of Shimazu Yoshihiro and Iehisa converged, with a total strength of 50,000.

The forces of the two sides were almost the same, and they set up a position on the capital basin and fought a decisive battle here.

Knock knock knock... The Hosokawa army marched to the beat of the drum, and the first line of the vanguard was Otomo Yoshito, Mori Terumoto, and Kamishi Keikatsu, as the newly descended family took the lead according to the custom; The second formation was Yoshishige Satake, Kunisuna Utsunomiya, and Motoyoshi Satomi, who were vassals of the Tohoku region, followed closely behind; The third formation is Niko Motohisa, Yuki Asakatsu, and Matsudaira Nobuyasu, all three of whom are the sons-in-law of Hosokawa Nobumoto, and the Hosokawa family is a family member with an important mission.

"Defend!" On the other hand, the Shimazu family is stationed on the spot to defend, and the pioneer will be Shimazu Iehisa.

The array is also divided into three formations, the first formation is Kitahara Kankin, Tosukan Tsuchi, and Fukunaga Soshige, all three of whom are local wealthy families in Hyuga Province, and they all subordinated to the Shimazu family when Shimazu and the Ito family were fighting. Moreover, this Fukunaga Soshige was originally the elder of the Ito family, and he defected from the Ito family in 1577, which indirectly affected the dominance of the Ito family in the Hyuga country.

This first array is actually a cannon fodder array, wanting to let the local wealthy clan and the Hosokawa army fight each other, so that they can rule the Hyuga country more effectively.

The second formation is Shimazu Shigetoki, Shimazu Tadatsugu, and Kamada Masahiro, these three have a national enmity and family hatred with the Hosokawa family, which can be described as the Avengers. Shimazu Shigetoki wants to avenge his father and brother who died in Tarumui Castle, Shimazu Tadatsugu wants to avenge his father Shimazu Yoshitora who died in the battle of Demizu Castle, and Masahiro Kamada also wants to avenge his dead father Masashi Kamada.

The third formation will be presided over by Shimazu Isahisa himself, and the left and right lieutenant generals Shinna Tadamoto and Kiiri Jijiu will take on an important mission to prove their loyalty to Shimazu Yoshihiro.

The two sides were equal in formation, with equal forces, two thousand men in each team.

"Shoot!" At the moment of the confrontation, the spears slapped each other, and the first formation of Hosokawa, which was originally lined up, immediately revealed the nature of fighting indiscriminately.

"Huh? Hahaha! It's really useless.,It's so imposing when you move forward.,I thought it was so powerful.。 Unexpectedly... Can only walk... Hahaha! Xinna Zhongyao laughed so much that his belly was about to burst, he was Xinna Zhongyuan's son-in-law.

"Shut up! Don't underestimate the enemy! The Hosokawa family has been able to reach this point today, and there is a reason why he is powerful! Maybe this is a sign of weakness. He taught his son a lesson, his eyes still fixed on the battlefield, and they watched from a small hill.

"My lord, a peasant soldier is a peasant soldier, and without systematic training, it is just a façade." On another small hill opposite, Sanada Yukimura stood behind Hosokawa Motokatsu, who sat on a marching horse.

"In just one month, it's good to be able to keep the queue neat, after all, it's always been a state of war." Tied with him is Date Masamune, and the two are now Hosokawa Motokatsu's two fierce generals.

"Hmm." Hosokawa Motokatsu didn't comment much, in the first formation, although it was the elite ashigaru of their respective families, but after all, they had not yet integrated into the Hosokawa family and had not cultivated the standing system.

"Drink!" A topshirt shot out and struck a man in the throat opposite.

"Excellent! Keep the rhythm going! Kamikatsu commanded loudly in the back, with his line in the middle, with the Maori team on the left and the Otomo team on the right.

"Shoot! Shoot! Bastard! Don't hesitate! Brave forward! On the contrary, Otomo Yoshitomi's eyes drifted away, and the offensive posture was not firm.

Although they are also peasants and soldiers, there are still advantages and disadvantages, and Maori Ashigaru belongs to the middle class.

"Kill! Kill! Shoot! Shoot! "However, the first battle of Shimazu was even more unbearable, and the peasant soldiers of the Hao clan basically just put down their hoes yesterday and only picked up their spears today.

Cracking sound... The spears on both sides stabbed back and forth, and from time to time someone was shot and fell to the ground.

Time passed little by little, tens of thousands of troops fought on the front line, and in the first confrontation, neither side came up with the strongest force, but some small characters were fighting.

"Damn! Concurrent! Break through the enemy for me! "Seeing that he hadn't defeated the enemy army for a long time, Uesugi Keikatsu felt that he couldn't wait any longer, so that the lord's opinion of himself would be lowered.

"Yes! Rush with me! Naoe Kanesuke led a unique ashigaru rush forward.

This team of ashigaru is composed of monks, who pass on the art of war of the Nagi sword Suzuka-ryu, wearing chain mail, cloth robes, and holding a large naginata, and shouting when they charge, fighting bravely.

This is the most proud Uesugi Nagi Monk of the Kamikami family, who is good at charging and attacking, and when he encounters enemies, he jumps and splits to deal massive damage, and can restrain light and medium melee infantry; It is extremely mobile and good at long-distance running in the battlefield.

"Drink!" Naoe continued to stand out from the battle formation, first firing a shot from a knife block, then dodging another shot with a crooked neck, and without stopping, he came to the enemy formation in three steps and two steps.

With a slash, he directly split the chest of an enemy in front of him.

"Oh!" The Uesugi Nagi Monk also arrived, and they jumped up one after another. Jump Split!

Poof! "Ugh!" "Ahh Shimazu Ashigaru in the front row suddenly screamed again and again, and fell down in a large area, the naginata is very suitable for hand-to-hand combat, and the lethality is also very considerable.

"Go away!" Naoe continued to break directly into the enemy formation, and with one blow, he slashed three or four more people.

"Kill!" The Uesugi Nagi Knife monk soldiers also swung their swords again and again, and the upper shirt behind them pressed on all sides and began to expand the results.

"Hold on! Resist it all for me! Damn it! Kitahara Kaneko shouted in the back, he was the opponent of the top jersey team.

"The enemy general has reported his name! In the lower upper shirt family general Naoe continued! At this time, Naoe Kanesu was covered in blood, and he actually fought a bloody road, approaching Kitahara Kankin.

"Huh? At... In the next..."Kitahara Kane's own hands will be cold, stammering, and then turn his head to look at the front row of the queue, which has been completely torn apart by the top shirt team, and his own ashigaru began to collapse and escape.

"Mom!" Kitahara Kaneko screamed, turned his head and ran, he was originally a wine bag and rice bag, otherwise he would not have let the Kitahara family exist in name only.

"Let's not lag behind either! Assault! "Mori Terumoto saw that the upper shirt team broke the enemy army, and his side also began to attack.

"Oh!" Maori is also a morale booster, and the Tuzhi team on the opposite side is losing and retreating.

"Kill! Kill! Damn it! "Otomo Yoshitomi is still on a par with Fukunaga Somao on the other side, which shows that today's Otomo team has many dishes. I want to chat with more like-minded people about "{?$article_title?} 》，; Talk about life and find a confidant~
