In the twelfth year of astronomy, 1543 A.D., on the night of June 10, on a hill outside the city of Gaocheng in the south of Hizen, Kyushu.

"What a god!"

Masato looked at the moon in the sky, which was not very round, but as bright as a mirror, and couldn't help but sigh.

Compared with Zhengliang's good mood, the two people behind him looked a little sad.

One of them is naturally Arima Qingchun. Ever since he saw the Luo family's preparations for the Gaocheng Cage City Battle in the military tent three days ago, he was in a bad mood.

But that damn Luo Zhengliang didn't seem to be ready to let him go. On the second day of the military tent assessment meeting, he also witnessed the Luo family dress up the heads of Junhisa Fujisaki and Junchen Omura and send them to Takajo. It is also said that it is unbearable to bear the corpses of these two people.

This is simply a weasel giving a New Year's greeting to a chicken, uneasy and kind. It is said that after learning the news of the death of these two people and the loss of Kotake Castle, Junzen Omura passed out directly. With the addition of these two people, the seven warriors of the Omura family, who are the pillars of the Omura family, have lost four of them. And they all died at the hands of the Luo family. This was too much of a blow to the Omura family.

With the heads of these two people entering the city, rumors such as the Nagasaki Peninsula being attacked by the Luo family and the family's preparation to surrender suddenly spread in the city. The Luo family spies in the city seem to have a way to communicate with the Luo family outside the city. What's even worse is that a large number of arrows tied to mysterious letters were also shot into the high city at the same time.

The information in these letters is varied, ranging from letters of secret contact with some wealthy families to letters of persuasion. There are letters that tell that another army of the Luo family has landed behind Gaocheng and so on.

Although everyone knows that this is the Luo family's discord plan. But even so, they all had to be affected by this. for among the more than three thousand people in this high city. Most of them were composed of soldiers from the local wealthy clans of Nanhizen, who were temporarily subservient to the Omura family and the Saigo family.

Now, even if you don't believe that your allies will collaborate with the enemy, you have to be careful to watch out for those around you. You must know that even if you are a brother, maybe they will give you a knife in the back. The atmosphere of mutual distrust suddenly became popular in the high city. Coupled with the fact that some guys with ulterior motives are always looking for opportunities to provoke disputes between different wealthy families, the atmosphere in the city can be said to be getting more and more tense.

After shooting the letter, the Luo family also sent a team of soldiers to shout around Gaocheng from morning to night to persuade them to surrender. There are all kinds of ways to persuade you to surrender, and even the words "your mother called you home for dinner" came out.

It has been more than 60 years since Arima Qingchun came to this world. Today, for the first time, I really saw what strategy is. Under the repeated blows of the Luo family, the morale of the soldiers in the city really dropped again and again, even if those generals were still inspired, it was useless.

After two consecutive days of persuasion, the Luo family finally has a new move today. Just this morning, the Luo family sent a monk into the city to persuade him to surrender.

Under such circumstances, the results of persuasion can be imagined. So in the evening, the monk came out of the city again. Brought back the news of the other party's refusal to surrender.

Hearing such news, Arima Qingchun's mood in the past few days has finally had a few more white clouds. However, the damned Fat Ex Eagle was clearly trying to trick him, just as he was about to get a good night's sleep tonight. But he was "invited" to the current mountain. And the purpose turned out to be to accompany this damned lord to admire the moon.

He was invited with him, as well as the old monk who failed to persuade him to surrender.

"Master Sakuhi Kuagawa. You don't have to worry about today's persuasion. Masato said.

"Hey! The poor monk is really incompetent, and he has the trust of the lord of the country. Kuaikawa Shaoxi said apologetically.

"To end such troubled times, such unprovoked killings will only end after the emergence of a male lord who has unified the whole country." Masato looked up at the full moon in the night sky and said, "And this male lord is only me, Luo Zhengliang." ”

In the moonlight, the figure of Masahiro standing on the top of the mountain looked much taller.

Looking at this lord who suddenly had a great wish, Kuaikawa Shaoxi suddenly thought of the sentence mentioned by the other party when he was discussing Buddhism with the other party before, "If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?" words. Could it be that this young lord of the kingdom was planning to stop more killings with his blood-covered sword? Is this what is called killing to stop killing? For a while, Kuaichuan Shaoxi was full of thoughts.

On the other side, Arima Qingchun was shocked. In his thoughts, being able to master several counties in Hizen is already a matter of glory to the ancestors. He never imagined that the ambition of this young lord in front of him would be so grand.

All over the country! His ambition turned out to be to unify the whole country and put an end to this era of war. However, although he has only just mastered a territory that is enough to compete with Otomo and even Ouchi, he still has one of his biggest flaws. That is, the lack of accumulation, the lack of heritage. His foundation is too thin, and as long as Otomo or Ouchi strikes with all his strength, the huge territory he has just built will fall.

It's just that, even so, he actually made such a grand wish, is it because he is too young and arrogant? Or am I already old myself? For a while, Arima Qingchun also fell into a great shock.

"Ha Luha, there has been, you see, what a beautiful night." Just when Arima Qingchun and Kuaikawa Shaoxi were both deep in thought, Masashi in front suddenly shouted.

The two of them invariably followed Zhengliang and pointed to the place. I saw that in the night, bursts of flames suddenly rose in the middle of the high city.

"Boom!" Instantly realized that this was probably the person arranged by Masato to set the fire, and Arima Qingchun's heart spasmed violently. The young man in front of him was so terrifying, he was simply the devil. Suddenly, he had a desperate intention to rush forward and push the young man in front of him down the mountain, and then commit suicide by jumping off the mountain himself.

But looking at his still tied hands and the two samurai behind him who were eyeing him, he immediately gave up on the almost impossible idea.

"Haha, master, this is their punishment for being rude to you." Masarashi turned to Kuaikawa and said.

The latter is already overspending those who died in the fire in the high city......

In the early morning, in the council hall of Takashihiro, Junmae Omura, who had not slept all night, looked weakly at a report on the damage suffered by the fire last night in front of him.

Overnight, most of the grain and grass were burned, and even the stored weapons were also burned a lot, especially the arrows, which were mainly wood. This adds a lot of difficulty to defending the city. After a night of fighting, the fire was finally extinguished, but the fire caused confusion among the soldiers. At the end of the night, more than 10 people were trampled to death, and more than 200 people were accidentally injured by their own people. As a result, the soldiers were sleepless and exhausted.

"Hey, this must have been done by the Luo family detective who infiltrated the city." The governor of the Saigo family, who also hadn't slept all night, said with a pale face.

"Although most of the grain and grass have been burned, the grain and grass from the rest of the territory are also about to arrive." Compared with Saigo Junqian, although Omura's face is not good-looking, he seems much calmer. The first thing that comes to mind is to ensure the supply of food and grass.

"No, the people in the city must be thoroughly investigated, and having these people in there is really too dangerous for us to come." Saigo Junjun said.

"How do I check it?" Junzen Omura asked indifferently.

Saigo Chun was stunned suddenly, and his face immediately became gloomy. yes, how to check it? The wealthy clans under his command are all improvised patchwork troops, and they themselves are not familiar with the peasant soldiers they have almost pulled in like Lazhuangding, how can they check? As long as this investigation is carried out, it will not only cause a big fight in the city, but will even cause panic among the soldiers in the city. Thinking of this, Saigo couldn't help but sigh dejectedly.

"Woo woo woo ......"

At this moment, a burst of conch horns suddenly sounded outside the city.

"Not good! It's coming so fast! Saigo Junkai and Omura Junzen glanced at each other and exclaimed at the same time. (To be continued......)
