The next day, in the Kamio Castle of the Otsuyama family, Otsuyama Shidong sat on the floor of the council hall with a dejected face.

Since learning yesterday that the Luo family had officially invaded the territory of the Otsu Mountain family, Otsu Mountain Zidong immediately sent a request for help to various places.

It's just that his full expectation was completely shattered with the sun's sun. If the wealthy clans such as the castle family and the Yakuza family in the Kikuchi Plain could not arrive in time due to the long distance, then it was impossible for the wealthy clans in various parts of Yamaga County to not be able to come to Kamio Castle at this time.

Especially the Heren family, whose strength is second only to the Otsu Mountain family, didn't even send reinforcements this time, doesn't Heren know the truth of the cold lips and teeth?

There are also a few small local lands near Shenwei Castle, they were originally subordinate to the Otsu Mountain family, but they also chose to stand by and watch when the Otsu Mountain family was dying? Could it be that they were resentful because they were forced by Otsu Mountain Shidong to retreat as a cover for the main force of the Otsu family in Tamana County when they were ambushed by the Luo family in Tamaki County last time?

When the army of the Luo family was approaching, there was such a situation in the territory, which made Otsu Mountain Zidong feel like a thunderbolt from the sky, and for a while, Dajin Mountain Zidong already felt hopeless.

And three miles away from Shenwei City, in the Luo family's army array. Several of the cloaks that are the flags of Masayo are holding high with their hands embroidered with the flag of an eagle flying high, which is the flag of Masayo himself.

As the general of this military array, the flag seal representing the spiritual pillar of the army is naturally in the main formation of Zhengliang.

Under the Higashisaka Xiaoqi, the standing members of the Luo family were squatting on the ground and tying their leggings very skillfully. The standing ashigaru people draped bamboo armor, cage hands, sleeves, and other sufficient equipment on each other's bodies one by one, while the capes that belonged directly to the Masaroma Hui people wore white cloaks. Constantly galloping back and forth in the military formation. Orders are conveyed.

In the tent of the main front. Zhengliang was dressed in a bright Nanban armor draped on his body. Since the last battle of Goto Jiangchuan Castle, he has been in battle again in less than two months, and he is full of enthusiasm when he thinks of it, this is the time for the big man to make a contribution.

Now a cloaked man spoke in front of him.

"Report to the lord, the vanguard formation of Luo clan Masamune and Chaocang Zongdi has been fully assembled, except for the fifteen wounded who remain here, the remaining two hundred and eighty-five troops have been assembled and are waiting for the lord to come out of the formation."

"Good."

At this time, two more cloaked people came in to report to Zheng Liangyu.

"Report to the Lord. The various forces of the main formation and the rear formation have also been assembled, and now they are all waiting outside the military tents, with a total of 1,900 men. ”

"Good."

"Report to the lord, I have complied with your order, the Black Hawks have completed their reconnaissance to the front, and on the way from this place to the Kamio Castle of the Otsu Mountain family, the road surface along the road is all good, and the defenders in the Kamio City are estimated to be less than three hundred at this time, and they are already a little panicked."

"Good. Step aside. ”

Masarashi nodded. This time to attack the army of the fat queen, there were more than 2,000 people along the way alone. It is more than enough to deal with a small wealthy family like the Otsuyama family, which has only a few hundred people. Now is not the time to pay attention to fair combat, if you can give full play to the superior forces, it is natural to give full play. Moreover, most of this army are elite soldiers with strong combat power, and Masashi is already confident that he will capture Shenwei City within a day.

As long as Shenwei Castle is captured, no matter how quickly the wealthy clans of Kikuchi County, Satsuta County, and Hezhi County react, you can only watch as the Luo family controls Shenwei Castle, which can attack the three counties of Higo Kikuchi, Satsuta, and Heshi, and retreat to protect the important stronghold of Yamaga County. At the same time, the Luo family can even close the door and beat the dogs, and cut off all the wealthy clans in Yamaga County, led by the Otsu Mountain family and the Heren family, one by one.

Thinking of this, Masara smiled slightly, and took the famous sword Yoshioka Ichichi and Oni Kiri from the small surnames Nabeshima and Shimazu Yoshihiro behind him, respectively, and put them on one by one, and then he strode out of the military tent. At this time, the cloaks and samurai teams that were the main banners of Masato had been prepared, and Ahri, the close attendant and ashigaru general, had already brought Masahiro's love horse Baili Hei to wait outside the military tent.

Baili Hei was in full bloom at this time, snorting from time to time, and the horse's hooves kept throwing to the ground, obviously looking impatient for a long time.

Zhengliang turned over and got on the horse, his legs clamped the horse's belly, Baili Hei neighed, and the four hooves of Zhengliang suddenly alternated, and he walked along a large avenue surrounded by all the troops in the middle to the flag seal of the main formation. A few cloaks behind him were also guarding him.

At this time, under the flag seal, the military advisor Shinnosuke Akabane, the military advisor Kansuke Yamamoto, the second standing ashigaru team Ashigaru general Tomohisa Oishi, the sixth standing ashigaru team general Enjoji Nobuyin, the fifth standing ashigaru general Watanabe Dori, the first standing iron artillery team iron cannon general Andre and others were all sitting on their horses and waiting.

"Are you all ready?" After riding to the flag seal, Masarashi asked Shinnosuke Akabane.

"Back to the lord, the assembly has been completed, and he can go out at any time." Shinnosuke Akabane, who was in charge of preparing all the armies, immediately said on the horse.

"Hmm." Masarashi nodded.

"Report to the lord, Lord Kato Duanzang has just sent news that the lands of several villages near Shenwei City have been willing to submit to the family, and their army is on the way to join the army of the family." At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto, who was in charge of coordinating the intelligence cabinet, reported.

As soon as Yamamoto Kansuke's words were finished, all the samurai and retainers under Masahiro's command showed joy on their faces, and with the addition of these soldiers and horses, the military strength of the Luo family's side would be even stronger.

"Hahaha, good, good." As early as last year, after the first battle in Tamana-gun, Kato Duanzo was taking his Black Hawk, Detective, etc., and with the cooperation of the local Guanpo ninjas, he began to infiltrate the rest of Higo County, but he didn't expect to achieve the effect so quickly.

On the side, Ming Feng Xiuzheng, the military physician who was in charge of temporarily staying in the Dongsaka Tuqi, Liu Ye, the weapons officer, and others stood in front of Zhengliang's horse, and said in unison: "I wish the lord an early victory." ”

Masarashi nodded, looked at the distant mountains in the direction of Kamio Castle, and then raised his horsewhip forward. shouted: "Out of battle!" ”

Suddenly, the drum sounded!

Just when the army of the Luo family was slaughtering towards Shenwei City. At this time, it was in the castle and village of Kikuchi-gun. Cheng Qindong is looking solemn. As the wealthy family closest to Shenwei City, the castle family was naturally the first wealthy family to receive a request for help from Otsu Mountain.

In fact, he had no idea that the army of the Daimyo Luo family, who had occupied Higo's Tamana Prefecture, would actually go to war against Higo at this time. You must know that the Luo family has just put down the rebellion within the territory and sent troops to attack the waters of the five islands, and it is the spring ploughing time that is about to enter the rainy season. If the ordinary wealthy family would never send troops under such circumstances, but the Luo family came unusually.

The rise of the Luo family has already quietly attracted the attention of the surrounding heroes, and the city family is naturally no exception, it is rumored that this Luo family has suddenly risen in the past few years, and it only took five or six years. At an incredible speed, he annexed the Hakata, Matsuura, Shoji, Omura and other Hizen heroes, and then defeated the Otomo coalition in Hizen in one fell swoop, and took advantage of the situation to enter Chikugo. This time, just after another big battle with the overlord of the Otomo family, Luo actually extended his demon grasp to the fat queen?

What frightened Cheng Qindong even more was that it was rumored that the head of the Luo family was not only wise and brave, but also a young family governor around twenty years old. At such a young age, he did not rely on the protection of his ancestors, but relied on his own knife and shot to make a reputation. This has to be amazing. In addition to being amazed, it was even more terrifying and jealous to his enemies. So last year, when the Otomo family called for the conquest of the Luo family. Cheng Qindong also responded without hesitation, but in the end he failed miserably.

At this time. The name of Luo's wise and brave generals has also spread with successive victories, especially among the middle and lower-level samurai and ronin, and there is a special market for the Wa country, and a small thing will be spread, not to mention that Luo's legendary and rapid rise speed, how can it not make people feel enthusiastic?

Thinking of this, Cheng Qindong couldn't help but look at his own son, Cheng Qinxian, who was also around twenty years old. Normally, Cheng Qinxian always boasted in front of him and others, as if he also had the wisdom of Luo's political goodness, and he shook his majesty in front of Cheng Qinxian's own wife, but when he really heard that the army of the Luo family was about to be killed, his face became extremely pale, and a layer of fine sweat of white hair appeared on his forehead, and his face was frightened. Seeing this, Cheng Qindong couldn't help but shake his head secretly.

Looking at the other retainers in the council hall, at this time, including the most daring samurai, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads, for fear of being brought out to be the scapegoat who resisted the army of the Luo family, not to mention the request of the governor of the Otsuyama family who went to rescue Kamio City.

"Hey, thinking back then, the ancestors of this family followed the Kikuchi family to resist the daimyo families such as Shaoji and Imagawa, what a majesty it was, I never thought that now it is just a new and powerful man who has just risen, but it has made everyone so afraid." Cheng Qindong couldn't help but sigh after the most cold.

Cheng Qindong thought about it for a while, looked at the generals present, and it could be seen from the expressions of each general that in addition to being stunned by the attack of the Luo family, everyone was more timid about the Luo family's victory in every battle, with the rapid rise of the Luo family, it was also rumored that the reputation of the Luo family was that the Luo family would win in every battle, these reputations were good and bad, and the bad ones were those who paid attention to the Luo family. The good thing is that all the heroes who are enemies of the Luo family will think about how to deal with it, and as the Luo family's power becomes stronger and stronger, many of them will choose to be neutral or simply surrender directly.

Now from the news from the Otsu family, it is known that the army of the Luo family that marched into Higo Yamaga County this time has the banner of the main camp of the Luo clan. Obviously, Luo Zhengliang is also in the formation, so how can the people who were just beaten by the Luo family a few months ago not be frightened?

"Report, the lord of the family has personally led the army to the border of the family's territory, and he invited the lord to discuss the matter of resisting the invasion of the Luo family?" At this time, a ashigaru hurriedly ran in to report.

"Oh?" (To be continued......)
