In the fourteenth year of astronomy, i.e., 1545 A.D., February. Higo Yamaga-gun, Kamio Castle.

A small hill appeared around the Kikuchi River, where the ancestors of the Higo Otsu clan built Kamio Castle on the top of the mountain, and with this castle it gradually developed into one of the greatest forces in Yamaga-gun.

Shenwei Castle is not a very high hill, but it is more than 100 meters high when you get closer, and there are two or three miles in radius, which is a very strategic stronghold, as long as you occupy Shenwei Castle, you can directly threaten the hinterland of Kikuchi County on the other side of the castle. There is a large plain formed by the alluvial Kikuchi River, also known as the Kikuchi Plain.

At this time, a flat ground outside Shenwei Castle was not peaceful at all.

"Kill, kill with me!" Otsuyama Shidong shouted and brandished his sword and rushed towards a young monk with a ring scar in front of him.

The more than 30 elite soldiers behind Otsuyama Shidon immediately let out a roar before the battle, like the sound of a wild boar seeing the enemy, which was the voice of the bravest beast that the Higo mountain people considered to be under their long-term life and cultivation, and hearing this sound could deter all enemies.

Each of them held a weapon, with Mt. Otsu Shidong as the central arrow, and killed the chaotic monks in a diamond-shaped formation.

"Ahh With a scream, a monk soldier who was stunned by the bravery and roar of Otsuyama Shidong couldn't react, and was immediately quickly slashed through his chest by the Taidao knife in Otsuyama Shidong's hand, cutting the wide monk's robe, revealing the bamboo board that had been cut into two pieces inside. Blood gushed from the wound.

In the afterglow of Otsu Mountain Zidong, he saw the monk and soldier fall to the ground. Didn't die immediately. Spitting blood, he kept convulsing. The blood on the knife was gently brushed by the spring breeze, and it soon coagulated, turning into a shocking purple-brown.

"Kill! Kill! Kill! The soldiers behind him were inspired by the bravery of the commander, and immediately let out an earth-shattering shout of killing, directly past the dead and not dead, and quickly killed the monks in front.

The monks had begun to grow timid, and some of the miscellaneous soldiers in peasant clothes among the monks began to retreat. Unlike those monks and soldiers who have been brainwashed, these miscellaneous soldiers are actually local peasants who have been temporarily encouraged by the monks in the temple, and they are becoming more and more brave when they see the military situation on the opposite side. They were really scared.

"What to do? What can I do about this? Let's run! "The miscellaneous soldiers are as anxious as ants on a hot pot and have no intention of resisting, and a few people still follow the ancient rules of joint warfare, and the principle of not fighting if you can't fight a joint battle, run! In an instant, everyone gave each other a look, then turned and fled.

"Hold on! Resist me! Seeing this, a leading monk immediately shouted. At this time, those miscellaneous soldiers would still pay attention to the monk's shouts, and still ran straight to the woods on the side of Shenwei City in a chaotic manner.

"Flutter!" The monk at the head saw that he couldn't stop the defeat of the soldiers, so he turned his heart sideways and directly cut down a miscellaneous soldier who had just passed by him to the ground.

"Ahh This action of the monk not only could not prevent the scatter of the soldiers from fleeing, but even caused panic among the rest of the people, and then scattered the entire military formation.

"Ha Lu Ha. If you want to escape, be fast. Kill me, and don't let them go. Otsuyama Shidong sneered and shouted.

He hated these rebellious monks and peasants. Since last autumn's harvest, these guys have suddenly popped out of the territory and started rioting. Otsuyama Shidon exerted great effort, and even united the forces of the in-laws and the family, who had always been not very compatible with him, and burned down all the temples in the territory in one go, but it caused a bigger riot, and the two sides went through several major battles, and today is finally here to end this riot.

"I can finally get a good night's sleep." Watching one after another monks and mobs fall under the butcher's knives of his own soldiers, Otsuyama Shidon breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart.

"Report!"

At this moment, a ashigaru hurriedly ran over.

"What?" Seeing Ashigaru with such a look, Otsuyama Shidong couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart. Could it be that a mob has sprung up from there? Or is there something wrong with Heren Qinji? But it's impossible, although the two armies have already acted separately, but with the strength of the Heren family's army, it should be no problem to defeat the fleeing mob.

"Lord, urgent report, a large force of the Luo family suddenly appeared at the border between the family and the Xiaodai family." Ashigaru hurriedly reported.

"What?" After hearing that it was the military strength of the Luo family, Otsuyama Zidong was originally in a relaxed mood because he had just wiped out the most remnant mob in the woodland.

"What's wrong with the other party?" After componing down for a moment, Otsuyama Shidong immediately asked.

"The other side is just gathering troops at the border, but there is no other movement."

"Hurry up and invite the head of the Renhe family to come to the discussion." After learning that the Luo family did not launch an invasion, Otsuyama Shidon immediately decided, and after handing over the finishing work of the battlefield to his subordinates, he went straight to Shenwei Castle.

At noon, the battlefield that had just been cleared under Shenwei Castle was lively again. It turned out that the army of the Renhe family had arrived. They had also just eliminated another mob in the morning, and after learning the news that there was a large-scale Luo family army on the border of the Xiaodai family, Renhe immediately led the army to the outside of Shenwei City.

Renhe's mother's mother is Otsuyama Shidong's aunt, and in total, Renhe's progenitor and Otsuyama Shidon are still cousins. It's just that the two families have not been very harmonious, because the Otsu family is gradually becoming powerful in Yamaga County, and even threatens the Renhe family, so the two families often fight over the problem of land and sweet well water, but because of the large-scale monk soldiers and peasant rebellion, the two families who are tired of running for their lives have to put aside their past grievances and temporarily unite together.

Not long after the arrival of Renhe Qinji, Otsuyama Shidon immediately came to greet him. The meeting place between the two was in a makeshift tent between the two armies' quarters. Although the two families were united because of the rebellion in the territory, Renhe Qinji would not be stupid enough to fully trust each other, so he categorically would not set foot in the Otsu family's Shenwei City, and Otsuyama Shidong was also worried that Renhe Qinji would take the opportunity to seize his Shenwei City, of course, at the critical juncture when the Luo family was about to invade, the two would not be stupid enough to have an infighting first.

After seeing Renhe's succession, Jidatsu Mountain Zidong first bowed modestly and proudly, and then said with a smile: "In order to fight the enemy together, just like dealing with the territorial mob before, please forget about other small things, as long as you repel the Luo family, you and I are both retainers of Otomo, why bother dividing you and me again." "It's pretty straightforward, but it's also true.
