In the battlefield on the east bank of the Kurusu River, under the resistance of the army of the Luo family, the combined forces of Saeki, Shimazu, and Ito immediately became chaotic, and the pace of the army's advance immediately slowed down. Kill me! ”

Although the Kyushu Eagle Luo Clan Masashi has always been cunning, with the terrain where the battlefield is located at this time, even if the other party sets up an ambush, it cannot be carried out here, so he is very calm and fully directs the vanguard to attack the Luo family's defensive position. Although the Luo family has already arranged a certain amount of fortifications there, at least it is not even a rudimentary military fortress there, could it be that under the full attack of his own army, he will not be able to break through these fortifications of the other party? It's absolutely impossible.

And at this moment, the iron cannons, bows and arrows in the Luo family's position had finished the first round of shooting, and were preparing for the second round of shooting, knowing that this was a rare opportunity to get close to the opponent's position, but the soldiers on his side were in a short chaos at this time, and he naturally did not allow it.

Under the personal command of Saeki Weikyo, the army of the Saeki family and the Shimazu family as the vanguard finally settled down, and under the command of various generals, they once again approached the position of the Luo family. As the army continued to approach, finally, the wooden fence set up by the Luo family on the opposite side clearly showed its original appearance, and the Luo family horses ambushed in the forest were also clear. Saeki Weijiao knew that the Kyushu Eagle must kill all the way through this time and open a breakthrough.

"Bang, bang......"

Just when Saeki was imagining it, the Luo family's position was once again filled with the sound of iron cannons, and sharp arrows also came along with the gunshots. Moment. The sound of iron cannons shook the earth. Saeki Yuijiao's men and horses were also hit hard again in an instant.

Meanwhile. On the side of the position of Masamune of the Luo clan, the army led by Asakura Munetsu and Fukuda Nobukiyo, who came to support, also arrived.

"Haha, I'm waiting. Let those guys know I'm waiting! ”

At this time, the enemy army that came like a raging wave pounced under the command of Saeki Weikyo. At the front of the Luo family's position, the second round of shooting has ended, due to the influence of the terrain and the mountains and forests, it is impossible to implement the iron cannon tactics of the Luo family's three-stage attack, so at this time, only some arrows flew out of the fence sporadically. The reinforcements led by Asakura Sodra and Fukuda Nobukiyo were holding spears and waiting for them.

"Brothers, here's your chance. Flatten the fence for me! ”

"Step on the broken fence and kill the Luo clan Zhengliang camp!"

Seeing that the attack of the defenders of the Luo family was weakening, the combined forces of the Saeki family and the Shimazu family immediately rushed to the first fence together. There was an uproar, and there was the sound of the fence being knocked down everywhere.

At this moment, the iron cannons and bows and arrows in the positions on the left and right sides opened heavy fire on the enemy troops crowded at the fence, "Tom tom, tom tom...... Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......"

The sound of iron cannons was deafening. In the blink of an eye, the noisy battlefield became silent. The Iron Artillery Corps uses new equipment. In addition, the two positions on the left and right suddenly supported with full support and attacked suddenly. So in an instant, a bloody wall of people was piled up at the front of the position.

The smoke gradually cleared to the west, and in front of the fence, only a few poles were stuck in the ground and screaming, and there were very few people left. The earth-shattering sound of war drums and high-pitched trumpets also disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the qiē in front of him, all the generals of the coalition led by Saeki Weijiao opened their mouths wide, looking extremely shocked. It's not that Saeki Weijiao didn't think about the threat of the positions on the left and right sides of the Luo family, but when the army's army attacked before, the iron cannons and bows and arrows given by the positions on these two sides had always been limited, so he was negligent for a while.

Of course, when such a situation occurred on the left and right positions of the Luo family, Saeki did not fail to consider concentrating the main offensive force on one of the two positions on the left and right. It was only after a little consideration that he gave up, because he saw at a glance the role of being an intermediate position, and in his opinion, as long as he won the middle position, then he could rely on the height advantage of the middle position, and then advantageously attack the Luo family's two positions on the left and right in a low position.

What made Saeki even more scruple was that he felt that the resistance of the left and right positions of the Luo family was too weak, and with his understanding of the Kyushu Eagle Luo Masara, he thought that this was probably a trap for the Luo Clan Masara, in order to lure him to concentrate the main force on the left and right positions. Then, taking advantage of the strong geographical advantage of the middle position, they jointly attacked their own side. So he finally concentrated the main offensive force in the middle of the Luo family.

It's just that now that he was suddenly attacked by the Luo family's left and right positions, he instantly understood that he had fallen for the trick again. Obviously, the positions on the left and right sides of the Luo family were indeed deliberately showing weakness, but what Saeki Weijiao didn't expect at all was that the positions on the left and right sides of the other side would concentrate their forces on the side close to the middle position.

And why does the Luo family have such a large number of iron cannons? You must know that just from the sound of iron cannons in the middle position of the Luo family, you can know that the Luo family should have concentrated all the iron cannons in the middle position, but why did such a large number of iron cannons suddenly appear from the positions on the left and right sides of the Luo family? Could it be that as the Shimazu family said before, the Roche family really mastered the technology of making iron cannons on their own? If this is really the case, the iron cannon of the Luo family can be used normally in rainy weather, and if it can also forge a large number of iron cannons in a short period of time, in this way, the iron cannon army of the Luo family will be so resistant!

What made Saeki Weijiao vomit blood even more was that in the middle position of the Luo family, which had obviously finished shooting, the sound of a large number of iron cannons sounded at the same time along with the left and right positions.

What does this mean? Obviously, the second round of firing in the central position of the Luo family was reserved, and they deliberately left a part of the iron cannon not to fire, in order to lure more of their own troops closer to the opponent's position, and then combine the positions on the left and right sides to attack their own troops.

"Damn!" Looking at the corpses of his own army lying on the battlefield at this time, Saeki almost vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Hehe, that's all!" Compared to the pain of Saeki Yukyo. In the position of the Luo family. Luo Masamune slowly put down the iron cannon that was still smoking in his hand. whispered. Because the blindness of his left eye was covered by a piece of cowhide, Luo Zhengzong at this time seemed to be a little majestic.

"It's a victory, it's our victory." The huge blow to the enemy immediately caused the morale of the defenders in the left, center and right positions in the forward position of the Luo family to rise sharply.

As for the Saeki and Shimazu coalition forces on the attacking side, because the army in front was scattered, the soldiers in the rear immediately looked a little dazed and at a loss. The sun has risen, and the green hills, blue skies, forests, and flags are clearly visible.

Obviously, even if it was heavily damaged by the defenders of the Luo family for a while. But the coalition forces that are on the offensive will never give up so lightly. So, under the command of Saeki Yukyo and Shimazu Takahisa, who came to support later, the coalition forces were dispatched again, led by the general Uehara Naojin. He almost never showed his feelings, and his face was stern.

"Rush!"

With an order, Uehara had already urged the horse to rush down. The war drums beat and the trumpets sounded, and the soldiers rushed to the Luo family's position like waves. Inside the fence, the defenders of the Luo family were silent, waiting for the arrival of the enemy. Soon, the vanguard of the enemy had already rushed to the front of the fence.

But in the blink of an eye. Smoke of gunfire once again hung all around. In the blink of an eye, more than 1,000 iron cannons knocked down most of Uehara's nearby troops. And the fence did not lose a single piece of wood.

"Withdraw!" Saeki Yukyo and Shimazu Takahisa, who were in command in the rear, looked at each other with the same solemn expressions, so the two immediately ordered the dizzy men and horses to gather and retreat.

The victory or defeat is self-evident, but the war demon still refuses to give up. The numb heart has forgotten the sadness, but in the camp where Uehara is still near, the horn of attack is blowing.

In the battlefield on the east bank of the Kurusu River, the white clouds were torn into thousands of strands and drifted to the west of the Kurusugawa River. On the ground, some of the horses that had lost their owners ran wild as they pleased, and some grazing freely. Corpses littered the field. Announcing each other's names, and then catching each other and fighting each other - the scene of the Onin Rebellion is no longer visible, and the battle has completely evolved into a fierce confrontation between groups, and at the moment of confrontation, iron cannons spew tongues of fire, ruthlessly deciding the winner.

The coalition army led by Uehara Naokin rushed to the fence, but they were also beaten, and even Uehara Naokin himself was shot in the neck and lay in front of the Luo family's position, looking like he couldn't live.

"Bastard!" Seeing that his retainer Uehara Nashin had not been able to get the order to retreat recently, he continued to attack, and Shimazu Takahisa was almost angry to death. Seeing this, he simply changed the order and ordered the army to attack with all its might. Seeing this, Saeki Yukyo next to him simply stopped making a sound.

As a result, Ijiin Tadaro, the rightmost flank of the coalition forces on the attacking side, quickly beat the drums of war and launched a charge against the true meaning of the left flank of the Yan Luo clan. In this way, the army quickly assaulted in front of the fence of the left position of the Luo family.

It's just that they were soon hit hard by artillery fire. At this time, after eliminating the enemy forces in front of the position, Luo Zhengzong in the middle position immediately ordered his subordinates to fully support the Luo family defenders in the left position. As a result, the armies of the Saeki family and the Shimazu family, who were on the attacking side, were immediately attacked from both sides.

But even so, the coalition forces on the attacking side neither stopped, nor retreated. The first fence was washed away for a long time, and when the Luo family defenders loaded their ammunition, the team had already rushed to the second fence, but there were five fences. When he rushed to the front of the third road, the retainers beside Tadaro Ijiin suddenly fell from their horses. Ijiin Tadaro was suddenly startled, and at this time, he realized that his army's army had lost seven or eight horses in the blink of an eye. There are several loyal retainers who have been following his family, and his heroic posture at this time has long been submerged in the corpses lying on the ground.

Now, only Tadaro Ijiin is hiding in the shade of a tree, watching his own people die a tragic death. Why kill so many people? The war demon had a fierce light in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and continued to move forward. Needless to say, the main flag of the Shimazu family has become a rag at this time, fluttering in the wind, looking ridiculous.

Before today's attack, Saeki Yukyo, Shimazu Takahisa and others, who were still fantasizing about defeating the Luo family's fortifications, storming the Luo family's camp, and driving the Luo family's army out of the Saeki family's territory, were already stunned at this time. Although they had expected it before, they never expected that the number of iron cannons of the Luo family would be so large. And the penetration of the Luo family's bow and arrow also seems to be very powerful. With these two weapons that have already formed a scale, and with the fortifications built by the Luo family before, how can they attack the Luo family?

At this time, Takahisa Shimazu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and he immediately gave the order to retreat.

"The lord orders the withdrawal of troops!"

After receiving the order to retreat, the crowd led by Tadaro Ijiin finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army.

"My lord, do you want to pursue!" Seeing the tide of attacking enemy troops retreating, the soldiers under his command immediately asked.

"No, take a break and monitor those guys." Luo Shi Masamune immediately ordered. Previously, the lord had already issued an order that as long as the enemy was repulsed, it was okay, and he must not take the initiative to pursue.

As the news of the enemy's retreat came, at this time, at the rear of the position, many of the leaders of the Motosaki family, who were responsible for transporting ammunition, arrows and other war materials for the defenders of the forward position, suddenly burst into joy.

"Great, thank goodness." Jiuqilang muttered in his mouth, and his eyes blurred. "Although the enemy has retreated, it is still not possible to be careless. The top priority is to quickly build a fire to cook and fill your stomach. After living in the Luo family's camp for a period of time, Jiuqilang has adapted to the eating habits of breakfast, lunch and dinner implemented by the Luo family. After a fierce battle, it was approaching evening, so dinner was about to begin.

At this time, a flag carried by a man came into his eyes. "Hey, what kind of flag is that? Isn't that the flag of the Shimazu family? ”

"It's really the Shimazu family." The man with the flag replied.

Jiushiro wondered, "Then why is this flag in the hands of your subordinates?" ”

"I picked it up from the position."

"This is the main flag of the Shimazu family, right? You were able to pick it up from the position? ”

"yes, the adults there are using this flag to wipe the barrels of the iron cannons. When you're done with it, throw it on the ground. ”

"Huh? The Shimazu family turned out to be so wolfy? "A main flag, the spirit and will of a military force it represents, Jiushiro never expected that the Shimazu family retreated, and even the main flag was thrown down and captured by the adults of the Luo family.

"yes, that standard-bearer is shameful enough, no, stupid. This flag can't be thrown. With that, he hurriedly carried the flag and walked away. He's going to show off this flag everywhere.

"Huh!" Seeing more and more local leaders surrounding the guy carrying the flag, Jiushiro smiled in his heart. He knew that the purpose of the adults in the position in front of the Luo family to allow this guy to carry the main flag of the Shimazu family here was nothing more than to encourage the guys here. In fact, the purpose of the adults of the Luo family was indeed achieved.

In addition, he was once again happy in his heart that he had been "looted" by the Luo family, otherwise once the Saeki family's coalition army was defeated and retreated, the Luo family would attack in a big way. Whether it is the Saeki family's coalition army or the Luo family's army, it is estimated that it will cause a lot of damage to his hometown at that time. After all, the Saeki family, as the defeated side, will inevitably need to recruit a large number of lords after losing a large number of troops this time. At that time, he may be forcibly requisitioned to fight in the war.

As the attacking party, the Luo family naturally will not allow the Saeki family alliance to continue to replenish its troops, so it is very likely that these ordinary leaders will be harassed by the Luo family's army. At that time, the fate of myself and others will be miserable. The worse one is to be killed. Lucky enough to be looted. Even if they were lucky enough to escape the scourge of the Saeki family's coalition army and the Luo family's army, their best thing was to hide in the mountains and suffer from hunger and thirst.

But now, he and his new wife, Kyoko, were able to stay safely in the camp of the victorious side, and his wife had even settled in the newly allocated territory, and with the support of the Luo family, she began to take care of the newly acquired fields. Is there anything happier than that? (To be continued......)
