The battle for Dezumi City was soon over, and a fire was also burned, making the surrounding city look terrified.

Hosokawa Motokatsu sat on the marching horse, inspecting the best heads, while Katakura Keitsuna recorded the exploits one by one, and waited for another reward on the day of triumph.

Among them, there are not only the heads of Shimazu Yoshitoka, but also the heads of important samurai such as Shimazu Suijiu. Although the harvest is quite large, there are also fish that slip through the net, such as Xiyi Jijiu who traveled through the creek to hide the path, and did the opposite, so that the Hosokawa army chasing north pounced.

"Lord, the inspection is complete! Please advise! Katakura Keixuna closed the credit book and looked at his own lord on the main seat.

This kind of battle is really a bit like an adult bullying a child, and it is not a strength level at all. If it is the main force of the Shimazu family, it may be a bit of a trick, I heard that the Shimazu iron cannon and the samurai sword team are also elite troops.

"Hmm... Let's withdraw to Koshikishima Island first, and use it as a base to launch an all-out attack on the enemy in the coastal area! Then wait for the retreat of the Shimazu army and annihilate it in one fell swoop! Hosokawa Motokatsu's face was flat, and this kind of small victory was no longer in his eyes.

"Yes!" Everyone received the order in unison, and each went down to make arrangements.

The fire in Demizu Castle was still burning, and the Hosokawa army was also in full swing.

"Quick! Fast! Fresh water is placed on the baggage boat on the left, and grain is placed on the baggage boat on the right! Honda Masamun stood on the dock, commanding the passing ashiru in a loud voice.

Stompe... Stompe... Yonezu Port is full of busy ashigaru, carrying rice bags and buckets, and carrying cash boxes to carry ordnance, and from the sky, it looks like ants moving.

At the same time, the black smoke also transmitted information in all directions, and the surrounding Shimazu Ashigaru was like a mongoose, and he was dumbfounded. What's going on? Immediately began to ask each other what was going on.

Half a day later, the news that Izumi Castle had been captured by the Hosokawa family came out.

"What! Lost in the City of the Waters? Kawakami Tadachi stood up from the main seat and asked in disbelief. He is the elder of Shimazu Yoshihiro and the garrison of Higo Minamata Castle.

Minamata Castle, located on the border of Satsuma and Higo, is a strategic location between the two countries. This place was originally the feudal domain of the Sagara family's dog boy Ryan, and after the Sagara family was destroyed, the castle was naturally taken down, and it has always existed as the rear of the army.

"Yes! It's news from Noma Seki! And a large-scale Hosokawa army was found in Yonezu Port, and it is suspected that it has landed for battle! ”

Noma Pass is a small border checkpoint, a horse fence plus seven or eight defenders, and it is less than two miles away from Yonezu Port, so you can see what is going on in the port with a tilted foot.

But there are many, many small checkpoints like this, such as between countries, between cities, between collars, and so on. Naturally, the Hosokawa army will not attack in a big way because of the small passes of a few people, and even pass by some small checkpoints without even attacking **, such as this Noma Pass.

But as soon as Ashigaru saw the dense Hosokawa army in the pass, he naturally scattered like birds and beasts. However, there are still brave people who stay and keep a close watch, after all, they can also receive a liter of rice with this merit.

"Landing operations? How can the logistics of so many people be guaranteed? Kawakami Tadashi never thought that he could fight across the sea like this, and this kind of epoch-making tactical thinking made his brain unable to turn around.

"It's... The subordinates don't know..."The lord can't think of it, and the elm heads below can't think of it.

"Forget it, in that case, immediately organize your forces and defend here! In addition, when he sent a letter to the lord, he said... That's right! The main hall is in danger, and hurry up to send a horse to report the news! At this time, they did not know the news of the loss of the main city and the death of Shimazu Yoshihisa.

"Yes!" His subordinates received the order and went out to arrange for the messenger.

At the same time, Kameiyama Castle was in a state of chaos because they also saw black smoke floating above Izumi Castle.

"Quick! Fast! The Lord is in danger! "The garrison general Kamei Tomura urgently summoned the peasant soldiers, he was a retainer of Shimazu Yoshitora and the lord of this castle.

The neighboring castle of Akune is also the domain of the Shimazu family in the demizu, and the lord of the castle, Akune Yorikatsu, is also actively gathering peasant soldiers.

Crunch crunch... The gate of Kameiyama Castle was wide open, and five hundred foot light fish rushed out.

Stompe... Stompe... Shimazu Ashigaru is on his way to Demizu Castle.

"My lord! Lord of the Castle! "Suddenly, a fast horse came running from the direction of the castle and came straight to Kameido Village.

"What's the matter!" Kameitomura recognized him as a samurai who stayed behind in the city.

"Kamei-sama is not good! The Hosokawa army is coming from the sea! Now the city is besieged! Let's go back to the rescue! The samurai said hurriedly, I don't know if it's a coincidence, as soon as his own army left, the Hosokawa army came from the sea in the opposite direction.

"What! You repeat! Kameito rushed up and grabbed him by the collar, his angry face eager to eat him alive.

"Fine... Hosokawa Army... From... From the surface of the sea... Directly landed on the shore... Ahem...," said the samurai, whose neck was jammed and his breathing was not smooth.

"Damn!" Kameido pushed it away and looked angrily in the direction of the castle.

"Withdraw! Retreat to Akune Castle! "Kameido Village still has a bit of a brain, knowing that since the Hosokawa army has already fought over, with such a small number of people, it would be a death to continue to move forward, and it would be a death to go back to the rescue, so it is better to go to the neighboring city to defend it.

"Withdraw! Remove! The orders were given one after another, and as soon as Shimazu Ashigaru turned, he ran in the direction of Akune Castle.

Fortunately, as soon as they ran into Akune Castle on their front feet, the Hosokawa army landed on the surface of the sea with their hind feet. Unfortunately, they were surrounded by thousands of Hosokawa Ashigaru, and the defenders of the castle were only more than 800 men.

"Kill! Break the city and set it on fire! Hosokawa Fujitaka gave an order and commanded a large army to attack the city.

"Oh!" Hosokawa rushed forward like a wolf.

"Block... Block them! "Agen Jiu Laisheng was so shocked that his hairs stood on end, there are so many enemies, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold out for a few days with his own little people.

"Shoot!" The iron cannon fired first, suppressing the head of the city.

"Kill!" Ashigaru then attacked.

To the surprise of Akune Yorikatsu, he did not hold on for a few days as he imagined, only a cup of tea, and the city... It's broken... His own head, as well as Kameido's head, have become merit points in the hands of others.

Not only here, but in the days that followed, all the coastal areas were attacked by the Hosokawa army. The black smoke from the burning of various cities is like a beacon tower, all the way forward...
