A place called Higashisaka in Higo Yamaga Prefecture was going on a fierce battle at this time.

"Kill ......" Immediately after that, a cracking sound pierced the air, and the tip of the black sword stabbed in and out as if something had been stirred, how did a originally fresh life disappear from this world, and the next moment, the young man holding the black sword galloped away in another direction. This person is none other than Masamune Roche.

Luo clan Masamune no longer knew how many enemies he had killed, but from his original brand new sword, it could be seen that the price after killing the enemy had already appeared several gaps, although he had used the tip of the knife very carefully to kill the enemy, but it was inevitable that there would be no accidents.

On the other side, Asakura Zongdi, who was in charge of blocking the enemy's retreat, saw that Luo's Masamune was like a strange cheetah, killing the enemy in this coffin and howling wolf, and praised in a low voice: "Ha Luha, it really deserves to be the one-eyed dragon of the Luo family!" ”

Then he let out a loud roar, ignoring the sluggishness of the others, let out a hearty smile, and waved his spear and rushed towards the enemy on the other side. You are the one-eyed dragon of the Luo family, then I will also be the military god of the Luo family!

The enemy in the stone has long been disheartened and has no fighting spirit, and there is no advantage in numbers, and the enemy is so strong, a charge rushed into the wall, and under the leadership of the leader, a few people stirred the whole stone in the direction of rout. At the beginning, there were still a few samurai and their attendants in the Qizi who rushed up to try to regain the initiative in the war, and used themselves to entangle the other party to plug the gap in the collapse of the Qizi, but in a few rounds, the samurai masters who were usually called ten people in the Qizi were killed. Without the command of the samurai and their attendants. The whole house collapsed at once. They all fled to their backs. One by one, they died under the swords and guns of the soldiers of the Luo family who surrounded them. The number of the Luo family's vanguard was only 300 people, and at a small price, they had an absolute advantage and defeated this place controlled by 50 or 60 people in a very short period of time.

At dusk, when Masato arrived with his army, the small fortress had been completely taken.

This time, after Masayo sent troops to fatten, he was divided into two armies, and the first army was naturally the army where Masayo was. The army on this road, the first formation is the strength of the 300-man army led by Luo Zhengzong and Chaocang Zongdi, and the second formation is the main formation of Zhengliang. There are 100 people in the cloak, 300 samurai teams, 300 people in the 6th Standing Ashigaru Team, 100 people in the 5th Standing Ashigaru Team, 100 people in the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Team, 100 people in the Iron Cannon Ashigaru, 100 people in the scouts, and heralds, making a total of 1,400 elite troops. In addition, there were 500 peasant soldiers as logistics and reserves, which was the rear formation.

In terms of generals, the vanguard is Luo Masamune and Asakura Zongdi; In this formation, there are military division Akabane Shinnosuke, military division Yamamoto Kansuke, the second standing ashigaru team ashigaru general Tomohisa Oishi, the sixth standing ashigaru team general Enjoji Nobuyin, the fifth standing ashigaru team Ashigaru general Watanabe, the first standing iron artillery team iron cannon general Andel, the close servant Ahri, the close servant Feidan, the close servant Taketori snake Ranmaru, the close attendant Tadao Mitsuryūjun, the small surname Nabeshima Naoshige, the small surname Shimazu Yoshihiro; In the back are the military physician Ming Feng Hidemasa, the weapons chief Liu Ye, and the ashigaru general Honda Toshimasa.

The other army was mainly composed of 400 men of the 400-strong Fourth Standing Ashigaru Brigade, led by Kinoshita Masanao and Ueda Shinji, who would attack from the other route according to the plan.

The rest of the Luo family's team continued to stay in their original station, ensuring the safety and stability of the rear under the command of Togo Heiji and Kakuma Ishizong.

Both Higo Tamana-gun and Yamaga-gun are mainly mountainous, and although many places can be connected to each other, they are overgrown with shrubs. In addition, the stream is crisscrossed, so in fact, there is only one mountain road that is often walked by people. Plus with the rise of the Roche family. The wealthy clan had obviously strengthened the surveillance of the Luo family's border, so when the Luo family's army entered this mountain road, the Otsu mountain family got the news.

In such an environment and situation, the political conscience is unable to quickly launch the so-called surprise strategy, and the only way is to continue to advance along the unobstructed mountain road and conquer the cities blocked in front of them one by one. Therefore, after arriving at the Higashisaka Koji at the foot of Nijo Mountain at dusk and joining up with the Pioneer Formation, Masarashi ordered the army to be stationed on the spot, and then directly killed Shenwei Castle tomorrow.

Just when the army of the Luo family began to camp on the spot, in the Kamio City of the Otsu Mountain family, it was a different situation.

The sound of hurried footsteps sounded on the roof of the council hall, and the feeling of Otsuyama Shidon was filled with panic.

Looking out from the council hall, the four fields were pitch black, and in the cold mountain wind, the shaking of the torches hanging high on the curved wheels made the shadow of the arrow on the Ninomaru become erratic.

The sound of wood beating on the ground sounded everywhere in the city, and it was a temporary recruitment of peasant soldiers under the supervision of the samurai, who brought in timber overnight to repair several incomplete walls in the city.

In the house, bundles of arrows were carried out from the inside out and carried into the arrowheads.

Bowashigaru began to twist the strings into the bow, and the samurai took out the waxed katana and sharpened it again. And in the house, there were enough goods and equipment, and the spears were divided into the hands of every peasant soldier.

The samurai shouted at the improvised peasant soldiers, who were assigned to the various samurai leaders and formed a battle force.

Otsu Mountain Zidong sighed when he saw this, it was still too hasty, in the afternoon he received the news that the Luo family's army had invaded the border of the territory, and he immediately sent a team of dozens of troops to the border area to support, but it was still too late, and the reinforcements received the outpost located in front of Shenwei City, which was also captured by the Luo family, so they had to return to Shenwei City in a hurry.

Seeing that the Luo family's army was coming so quickly, Otsuyama Zidong was so frightened that he immediately ordered to prepare for war with all his might. It's just that his forces are too scattered now, and now he is faced with two choices, one is to abandon Shenwei Castle, and then make a detour to Tanaka Castle of the Heren family and return to Nanguan Castle, where he will defend the city with all his might. The second is to abandon Nanguan City and transfer the troops there to Shenwei City. Of course, there is the last way out, that is, the two castles will not give up, but with the troops mobilized by Mt. Otsu at this time, it is obviously impossible to defend the two castles at the same time. For a time, Otsuyama Zidong fell into the midst of gains and losses. (To be continued......)
