"Whoa......

Outside the tent, it was raining as hard as soybeans. The raindrops hit the tent and then quickly gathered on the ground like loaches, instantly turning the barracks into a small ocean.

The generals and soldiers in the barracks were taken by surprise by the sudden heavy rainstorm. Most of them thought it was just a small light rain, but now it was a heavy rainstorm, mixed with lightning and thunder. When the pouring rain came, most people realized the need for emergency shelter, so some people rushed to strengthen the waterproof settings for the military tents where the grain and grass were kept, while others urgently packed their camps to avoid having no place to rest tonight. Suddenly, a large boiling sound suddenly sounded in the entire camp.

"Damn!"

In the main tent of the military camp of the Otomo family, Otomo Yoshikan slapped the desk and muttered to himself in great annoyance. The generals of the Otomo family in the military tent all lowered their heads and looked at the ground and counted the ants when they saw that their lord was just angry.

Otomo Yoshikan looked at the dense rain outside the military tent, and his brows were furrowed as if he was constipated. He's furious now! This time, in order to unite the Ouchi family to deal with the Luo family, he even sent the sister-in-law of the Otomo family to the Ouchi family as a hostage! It was not easy to get such an opportunity to defeat the Luo family, but it was the rainstorm at this critical juncture that not only delayed the assembly of the Otomo family's army, but also gave the Luo family a chance to breathe.

But even so, Otomo Yoshikan still planned to brave the rain to attack the Luo family's Takara Castle first. To Otomo Yoshikan's anger, Sugi Xingyun, the interim coach of the Ouchi family in Chikugo, refused Otomo Yoshikan's invitation to attack together. This angry Otomo Yoshikan almost vomited blood.

"Order, order to be on guard tonight. Strictly guard against enemy attacks in the middle of the night! Otomo Yoshikan eased the anger in his heart a little. Immediately commanded. Although extremely angry. However, without the help of the Ouchi family's army, relying on the Otomo family's own military strength alone could not pose much threat to the Luo family's Takara Castle, so Otomo Yoshikan also sensibly chose to give up the idea of launching an attack on the Luo family immediately.

As soon as Otomo Yoshikan's order came out, the generals in the military tent immediately took it seriously. As we all know, Hizen Eagle Roshi Masara has always been famous for sneak attacks, especially sneak attacks at night. Therefore, even if it rains, we must strengthen vigilance at night and beware of night attacks on the Luo family.

"At the same time ordered. Intensify surveillance of the Ouchi family barracks in the north! Otomo Yoshikan ordered again. Otomo Yoshikan's order was also forced to be helpless. Although the two families have reached an alliance to deal with the Luo family, after several generations of continuous battles, in fact, in their bones, neither the Otomo family nor the Ouchi family can trust each other.

It is precisely for this reason that this time the two armies jointly camped along the Chikugo River, and the Ouchi family chose the area close to the Chikugo River to facilitate the contact with the Ouchi family castles on the north bank of the Chikugo River, while the Otomo family chose the area of Bamboo Castle near the Kusono family to ensure the connection between the Otomo family and the Bungo territory.

And in order to better monitor the similarity, the two families at the time of the establishment of military camps. They all chose to deliberately get close to each other, which caused them to be on the ground between Takeshiro Castle and Chikugo River. Two rectangular barracks were built by the two families. The south side of the Ouchi family barracks and the north side of the Otomo family barracks are only a few meters apart. As long as you stand on the rudimentary arrow tower at the edge of the barracks, you can see the general movement in each other's camps.

The Otomo family strengthened the guard north of the barracks, and the movement was soon learned by the Ouchi family.

"Humph! Otomo children. As the temporary chief general in the current Ouchi family barracks, Sugi Xingyun snorted coldly after learning the news, and at the same time issued an order to strengthen the guard in the barracks.

This time, Sugi Xingyun categorically rejected Otomo Yoshikan's proposal to jointly send troops, and he had his own plans.

The first is out of personal hatred for the Otomo family. Chikugo Province and Chikuzen Province have always been places where the Ouchi family and the Otomo family fought. Since the beginning of the Southern Inner Dynasty, the Otomo family has fought several times against the Ouchi family and the local wealthy clans. And the Sugi family, who is a local clan in Chikuzen, is naturally the protagonist in the war. In several wars, many ancestors of the Sugi family died under the sword of the Otomo family. As the saying goes, the pain of the enemy is one's own happiness. So after learning about the wishful thinking of the Otomo family, Sugi Xingyun was naturally reluctant to help the Otomo family.

In addition, in order to paralyze the Luo family before, in fact, the Ouchi family did not have many troops near the Chikugo River. At this time, the military forces hidden in other parts of Chikuzen were approaching one after another, and with the limited strength of his own military camp, Sugi Xingyun thought that it was better to maintain the status quo. Otherwise, once he really agreed to the invitation of the Otomo family to launch an attack on the Luo family in advance, and in the process, the only military strength of the Ouchi family was greatly damaged, then I really don't know if the Otomo family, as a temporary ally, will be in trouble temporarily. So for the sake of insurance, Shanxingyun still chose to stay put.

After the last, as the general of the Luo family's strategy this time, he was also on the way from Chikuzen, and as the temporary general general, Shan Xingyun also made a plan to protect himself. After all, the last time he was defeated by the Otomo family coalition army when he faced the Otomo family's alliance army's strategy Hizen, and then fell into a bunch of rumors that were unfavorable to the head of the family, which had already caused the dissatisfaction of Ouchi Yoshitaka, so this time for the Luo family's strategy, he planned to only be a subordinate general who obeyed his words, anyway, the merit was better than the good, and it was all borne by the general Naito Xingsheng.

In this way, while each family was thinking about it, a thunderstorm in the afternoon finally passed. Just as dusk was approaching, the clouds cleared and the sun ran out again. The earth is sinking into heat again.

"God help me!" Standing on the slightly humble castle tower of Takara Castle, Masara muttered to himself happily as he watched the sunset that was about to sink westward. Tonight's night attack, everything depends on the weather. Although, based on the weather knowledge of later generations, he almost concluded that the heavy rain in the afternoon would not last long. But until the rain stopped, he was still nervous. Now seeing that the weather is really improving, and even receding before nightfall, this makes Masara have to be happy.

"It was decreed that martial law should be imposed within two miles of the vicinity of Takara Castle, and that all unauthorized persons must return to their homes. Don't go out, violators, behead! Soon after the heavy rain stopped, Masayo issued an order for martial law.

This morning's attack has made Zhengliang completely vigilant. If he hadn't miscalculated, there would have been an enemy in his own camp. In order to ensure that this operation would not be leaked in advance, Masashi decisively issued an order for martial law.
