After Otomo Sorin's order, all the samurai of the Otomo family moved, and they themselves knew the current situation very well, and if they didn't die now, they would probably die here soon.

For the samurai lords of the Otomo family who have already enjoyed the glory and wealth, although it is absolutely necessary for the loyal servants of the Otomo family, because they all know the rules of the Kuroda family, they are suitable for the people of the Otomo family who have been opposed by the Kuroda family, even if they voluntarily submit to the Kuroda family, with the current situation, they will definitely be fined and confiscated a lot of land, which is absolutely unacceptable to them.

Therefore, the best situation for them is that they can now withstand and defeat the enemy who sniped at them in front of the Kuroda family, only in this way can they ensure the breakthrough of the army, and at the same time maintain their position, as well as the various wealth of the family, as well as their own women and relatives.

Under the leadership of these samurai, who had their own strong needs, the entire Otomo family's Chinese army began to press the 4,000 troops led by Imate Tomotaka on the left, and launched a fierce attack, fighting for their own lives in order to break through the siege.

In the face of the hundreds of rout troops of the Otomo family before, the Kuroda family was definitely like chopping melons and vegetables, and quickly defeated a small group of enemy troops. Now that the army of tens of thousands of people of the Otomo family has attacked, the 4,000 men of the Kuroda family are also not afraid, or afraid.

Because they are very elite soldiers, not the kind of rookies who will shake with a knife, and in a scene like now, they have already experienced a hundred battles and seen a lot.

And the most important thing is that they know one thing as an elite, that is, if they want to eat the bowl of golden rice of professional soldiers in the Kuroda family, they must absolutely obey the orders of their superiors, and their current task is to intercept the 30,000 soldiers of the Otomo family, even if they die, they must complete their mission.

Imate Tomotaka started a fierce battle with the Otomo family on this side, and the Kuroda family samurai Kaneko Mototaku who led the army on the other side, after seeing the situation over there, knew that it was the elite of the Otomo family who was attacking the Imate Tomotaka army, and immediately led the 2,000 Shikoku soldiers assigned to his command, and also took the initiative to join the fierce battle and began the battle on the flank of the Otomo family's 10,000-strong army.

After the battle began, because of the elite of the Kuroda family's soldiers, and because it was inevitable that some of the Otomo family's soldiers were busy escaping, the Kuroda family's 6,000 encircled army was completely invincible in the face of the Otomo family's 10,000-strong army. Even the soldiers who continued to join the Otomo family in the rear to survive, but the balance of victory and defeat on the battlefield was always on the side of the Kuroda family until this time.

The soldiers of the Kuroda family completely suppressed the side of the Otomo family, and the only thing that the Otomo family performed well was the samurai in their family, and the soldiers of the Otomo family, under the leadership of many samurai in the family, were able to gain some advantages in the face of the combined attack of the Kuroda family, which was a very difficult thing.

At this time, seeing that the army began to stalemate with the Kuroda family, Otomo Sorine and Kakukuma Ishizong began to panic, which is not in line with the plot! Why is the team led by Tomotaka Imate so tough?

They didn't know that Ite, as the main general, did not play at all, and if he did fight, he would indeed be like Kakuma Ishizong imagined, and he would soon be unable to resist the pressure of the Otomo family and escape with his own men, which is also the plot prepared by Kakukuma Ishizong.

It's just that Kakuma Ishizong is going to be disappointed, and Imate Tomotaka is standing on a small hill behind him at the beginning, looking at the scenery in front of him, but he himself is not in danger at all, and all the combat missions are in the responsibility of the samurai under his command. He doesn't care about his own, he doesn't have any pressure at all, why do you think he wants to retreat?

However, at this time, Imate Tomotaka, who had been standing in the rear, suddenly brightened his eyes, and he saw that the team sent by the Kuroda family on the opposite side turned out to be the banner of the Kaneko family, the Ohno family and other wealthy clans of Shikoku who had gone with him to attack the southern Hyuga country before.

After Ite-tomotaka was scolded by the cane, although he has been behaving well for a while, like a good baby, he still has a lot of grudges in his heart for the wealthy clans of the four countries who let him be scolded by the cane, of course, the most hated must be Inoue Nobo and Akashi Quanden.

The Otomo family was originally going to repel Imate Tomotaka's team, because they thought that Imate Tomotaka would be a soft persimmon and would be easier to pinch. Then get a breakthrough on his side, and then you can calmly retreat and ensure the safe return of the army to Fenghou Kingdom.

But there is one thing that Kadokuma did not expect, that is, the prerequisite for his idea is that Imate Tomotaka must fight in person, because the Kuroda family's soldiers are strong in combat, and Imate Tomotaka has always been at the back of the army, so this wish has not been realized at all, and even Kakuma Ishizong is in a hurry. Even Otomo Sorin was worried, and many of the samurai of the Otomo family showed impatience, and even one or two were killed by the Kuroda family.

But now because Iate Tomotaka saw the Kaneko Mototaku and them, the Otomo family's plan was finally realized indirectly.

You may wonder why it was only now that Ite Tomotaka saw the Kaneko Mototaku team, and knew that the person who cooperated with him was a wealthy family of Shikoku.

All of this is actually the arrangement of Shigeharu Takenaka, although he agreed to help Imate Tomotaka intercede for this mission, but to be honest, there are really not many people in the Kuroda family who can cooperate with him on the other side to intercept the mission this time.

So in the end, Shigeharu Takenaka was forced to choose the wealthy clans and countrymen of Shikoku, because the elite brigade of the Kuroda family had to stay and carry out a morale blow to the vanguard of the Otomo family, and now this first step has been completed.

If Shigeharu Takenaka told Ide Tomotaka as soon as possible that he was cooperating with the wealthy clans and people of Shikoku, and Imate Tomotaka who had a holiday with them before, I am afraid it would not be so easy to cooperate with them.

Therefore, it was not until now that Imate Tomotaka knew that it was these people who cooperated with him, and Imate Tomotaka really gave the order for the whole army to retreat as Takenaka Shigeharu had expected.

Although the soldiers of the Kuroda family were very strange, why the Lord would ask them to retreat at this critical moment. However, as an elite unit that is forbidden by order, orders are above all else, and they still choose to trust the judgment of their commander, so they retreat back with Imate Tomotaka.
