In a village outside Karafune Castle in Matsuura-gun, Hizen. It's noon.

"Nigi, Nigi, this kid, hurry up and farm for me?" A middle-aged man's voice suddenly shouted.

"Daddy, I'm dying of exhaustion, so let's lie down here for a while," said a young man weakly next to a big tree.

"Hehe, Taketaro, you're too strict with Nikigi, it's already noon, let's let him rest" At this time, another middle-aged man walked over, and then sat under the tree and said with a smile.

"Kamesaburo, Matsuura County is not peaceful now, just after the war, if you don't hurry up and farm the land, do you want to eat the northwest wind?" Taketaro said. After saying that, he also sat down at the foot of the big tree.

"Hey, isn't it?" Kamezaburo sighed and said, "I've been forced to hand over food twice this month, and every time we fight, we are asked to pay food. If this continues, there will not be enough seeds for spring planting this year. ”

"The battle has long been over," said the boy named Niggie suddenly.

"Little kid, what nonsense?" Taketaro immediately scolded.

"Really, I heard from the samurai lord in the city yesterday," the boy said earnestly, "our lord has won." ”

"Win? Tell me what's going on? Kamezaburo immediately asked.

"The samurai-sama said that the lord of Hirado, who has always been nice to us, has been robbed of the territory of our lord," the boy said.

"Lord Lord, Hirado?"

"It seems to be Matsuura's letter," Taketaro said.

"It's still Taketaro who has been to many places before, and knows the news of those lords," Kamezaburo immediately exclaimed.

"What does this have to do with us? No matter which lord is the lord, we farmers are not having a good time," Taketaro said with a sad face. There are old and young people in the family, relying only on the income of this land, and they have to endure the exploitation of the lord from time to time, and life is really stressful.

"Also, I heard that the balance outside has not been smooth recently, and it seems that a group of terrifying mountain bandits suddenly came, and they always can't get along with the lord lord" Kamezaburo nodded and said.

"I heard that we are going to change lords," the boy said the shocking news again.

"Huh? It's true? This time, even the young father, Taketaro, was surprised.

"It was the samurai lord who said that the current lord gave us here to another lord in order to get more land in the newly occupied place."

"Whatever the lord is. It's all the same anyway," Kamezaburo said.

Taketaro also nodded when he heard this. These peasants really had little loyalty to the lords who would only exploit them.

"Huh? Isn't that right? Kamezaburo suddenly patted his head and said, "Now that the battle is over, the territory is also given to others." Why did you come to us yesterday to ask for food? ”

"Yes," Kamezaburo said, and Taketaro also came to his senses.

"I heard that several groups of big merchants have recently come to the city, and they are buying food at very high prices," the boy muttered.

"Huh?" Taketaro exclaimed, then said angrily. "This lord who killed a thousand knives must have collected our grain and resold it to those merchants."

"Huh?" Kamezaburo also gritted his teeth after hearing this. Then the two of them cursed the lord under the tree.

"Daddy, samurai are being recruited in the city," the young man on the side suddenly interjected, "I want to be a samurai and make war achievements." ”

"What, you say it again?" Taketaro suspected that he had misheard.

"I'm going to be a samurai," the boy said again.

"Let you be a samurai" after hearing the boy's words clearly. Without saying a word, Taketaro first knocked the boy on the head hard, and then continued, "To be a samurai is to fight......

……

Yes, Taketaro is right, it's going to be a war, and it's going to be a big battle.

A.D. 1541, the 10th day of the third month of the 10th year of astronomy. The drizzle finally stopped. The land is also dried up by the sun's rays.

At this moment, in the camp outside Kishidake Castle, there were a total of 200 people from the second standing ashigaru team of the Luo clan, 100 people from the fourth standing ashigaru team, 100 people from the third standing ashigaru team, 100 people from the low-level samurai team, 100 people from the cloaked people, 200 peasants and soldiers participating in the battle, and 100 logistics peasants. Twenty scouts in charge of heralding, a total of more than 900 troops. If we add the 200 1st Standing Ashigaru Brigade, which is ready to go into battle in the city, and the 200 sailors (100 standing sailors, 100 mobilized fishermen) who are ready to go to the battlefield in Itayawan, there are more than 1,300 troops. Of course, when the time comes, Masahiro will announce 2,000 people.

In terms of generals. There are Kinoshita Masanao, Yoshida Shigemasa, Oishi Tomohisa, Roshi Masahide, Akuta, and Akimine Hidemasa. At the same time, Masayo's flanks are close to Yoshira Nobuyi, Ueda Shinji, Uemura Hontsuna, Tetsunosuke, and Ahri, who has recovered from injury, and is closely responsible for Masayo's safety. Kakukuma Ishimune and Shinnosuke Akabane served as military advisors with the army. And the small surname Yoshinomaru and Murakami Takeyoshi followed around Masayo. The remaining small surname Nabeshima Naoshige is too young, and continues to be taken care of by Togo Kiku.

Togo Heiji and Onishi Kuniji led the remaining generals who were in charge of the defense and construction of the domain.

Spears are like a forest. The military formation is like a mountain, and at this moment, Zhengliang stood on the improvised altar and looked at the military formation of thousands of people below, and couldn't help but sigh with such emotion. I think that at the beginning, the Wave family also organized a coalition of thousands of people to attack the Matsuura family, and Masara was also one of them at that time, but it felt more like a small shrimp in the sea, and he needed to worry about self-protection from time to time, and now it is more like a tide in the huge waves. At this moment, what the Luo family has to do is to be the one who will always be at the forefront of the tide, leading the huge waves behind him to create a new era.

Looking at the neatly arranged military array at his feet, Zhengliang even thought of Sun Tzu's Art of War, "Therefore, it is as fast as the wind, its Xu is like a forest, the invasion is like fire, it is not moving like a mountain, it is difficult to know like a yin, and it is like a thunderstorm." The army moves as fast as the wind. When the army moves slowly, it is like a well-groomed forest, solemn and quiet. When attacking the enemy, it is like a blazing fire, and it is fierce. When the troops are stationed, they are like mountains, unshakable. When hidden, it is like a cloud covering the sky without seeing the sun, moon and stars. The action is like a thunderbolt, brave and swift, so that the enemy has no way to retreat.

Yes, this is the "Wind Volcanic Forest". Now it seems that although Roche has not obtained its marrow, it has begun to take shape.

After pretending to petition the god Yawata by the "divine envoy" of Masara, Masarashi stood on a high platform and shouted at the military array below, "Everyone! Hachiman Okami has accepted the petition. Your lives have been entrusted to the great god of Hachiman. With the blessing of the great god Hachiman, please defeat the enemy in one go. Kill! ”

"Kill!" The shouts from the audience shook the heavens and the earth, and the murderous aura filled the shore of Yuecheng ......)
