"To the south, the Omura clan and the Saigo clan are gathering troops in Kobu Castle, and it is expected that they are coming to Matsugaku Castle of their own family; To the east, the speed of the coalition army on this road is the fastest, and the forces of the Ryūzoji clan and the Hirai clan have already marched towards the Takeo Castle of the main family, and the troops of the Arima family are also gathering in Matsuoka Castle, obviously preparing to merge with the armies of the two families in front; To the northeast, the Egami clan, the Senyu clan, and the Kamizuma clan are already mobilizing troops; At the same time, according to the report of the detective, the Shao Er family is also gathering the powerful troops of Jiyi, Adoptive Father, Sangen, and Kanzaki Prefecture.!" In the council hall of Kishigaku City, Onishi Kuniji reported with a frown.

"The hateful Longzoji clan actually ignored the agreement to negotiate peace and openly responded to the call of the Shao Er family?" Togo Heiji said fiercely.

"Hmph, the Ma clan and the Hirai clan took the opportunity to occupy a part of the territory belonging to the Goto family last time when the family was busy cleaning up the war situation, and it seems that they want to get more territory this time." Shinnosuke Akabane said with a sneer. In the romance, there is no nervous meaning of the coming enemy.

"The so-called peace talks are just a piece of paper." Kizo Shigetuda sighed, "Your Highness, since the other party has openly tore up the peace agreement, then the hostages left in the Takazoji family can also be used. ”

"Your Highness, after a month of training, the cavalry has achieved something, and Your Majesty begs to fight." Heihachi Miyazawa pleaded.

……

Hearing that these coalition forces were coming, some of the retainers of the Luo family were indignant and asked for battle.

"Your Highness, I wonder if you have a way to deal with it?" The most stubborn Kakuma Stone Sect asked.

"Hehe, but it's a dog. I have a plan in mind here. Masato said with a smile.

Seeing that the head of the family was so calm and calm, some of the retainers who decided to fight to the death suddenly became excited, while some of the worried retainers were relieved. In the past, as long as you saw the expression of the head of the family, it basically meant that the most powerful Luo family could turn evil into good fortune, and this time it should be no exception.

"The borders of the territory to the south and northeast are guarded by Tomohisa Oishi and Shigemasa Yoshida respectively, and they are ordered to hold the city while sending people to sneak into the nearby mountains, pretending to be suspicious soldiers, so that these people do not dare to act rashly." Masara said.

"Your Highness's plan is very good." Kakuma Ishizong reacted immediately. Exclaimed, "The castle guarded by Tomohisa Oishi and Shigemasa Yoshida is located between the mountains, and there are many mountains and forests nearby, so it is indeed a suitable place to arrange suspicious soldiers. ”

"Your Highness, is there something unclear about Your Majesty?" Ming Feng Xiuzheng was puzzled, "Even if the suspicious soldiers are arranged, the other party may not be willing to give up attacking the city." ”

"Hehe, Nosuke, you can analyze it." Masara said.

"Yes. Your Highness. "Shinnosuke Akabane bowed down and took the order," the Omura clan and the Saigo clan in the southern direction. Just been defeated by the family, and the vitality has not yet recovered, although the matter of attacking the family this time was caused by them, but in fact, they are the most unwilling to fight against the family among the coalition forces. Therefore, as long as the family sets up suspicious soldiers, they will definitely stop and wait and see. ”

"As for the northeast, the Egami clan, the Qianyu clan, and the Kamizuma clan are allied. In addition to the fact that the Egami clan is a die-hard retainer of the Shao Er family, although the Qianyu clan and the Kamizuma clan superficially obey the call of the Shao Er family, they actually have the idea of preserving their strength, especially the brave name of the head of the family has already resounded in front of the fat, and these two powerful families are even more reluctant to directly confront the family. "Shinnosuke Akabane told the reason why Masaki arranged it this way.

"Although these two-way coalition forces can use suspicious tactics, the armies of the Ryuzoji clan, the Hirai clan, and the Arima clan in the east direction are not easy to force back." Kakukuma Ishizong said, "In addition. There was also the young second family who personally led the army that came later. ”

"The army in the east direction can only go out of the city directly to meet the battle." Masara said, "Before the army of the young family arrives, defeat the vanguard army of the Ryuzoji Temple, the Hirai clan, and the Arima family. ”

"Your Highness's plan is to turn the passive into the active." Kakukuma nodded in agreement.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Although the three-way army is huge, it is just a bluff, and the family will definitely be able to let these local chickens and dogs see what the real martial arts are. Masato shouted. In fact, in Zhengliang's view, although the Shao Er family gathered many powerful people to besiege this time, in fact, these powerful people all have their own calculations. If it weren't for the fact that seeing the Luo family's rising day by day, it would also threaten their interests, and they would definitely not be so cooperative. Even if they cooperate, they are each playing their own calculations, and they can't form combat power at all. As long as the Luo family holds out for a while, these coalition forces will naturally disperse when they see that they are unprofitable.

"The head of the house is mighty!" The retainers shouted.

"Listen to the order!" Masarashi shouted solemnly, "Fate, Tomohisa Oishi led the second standing ashigaru team to defend Matsugaku Castle, Kahara Castle, and Hirota Castle; Fate, Yoshida Shigemasa and Roche Shingoro led the third standing ashigaru team to defend Lion City; The rest of the teams are guarding the place where they are stationed and strictly guarding against the movements of the surrounding heroes. ”

"Kakuma Ishizong!"

"Your Majesty is here!"

"Lion City is entrusted to you, please assist Yoshida Shigemasa and Roche Xingoro to defend Lion City."

"The minister is determined to live up to his mission!" Kakuma Stone Sect commanded.

"Shinnosuke Akabane!"

"The minister is here!"

"Matsugaku Castle, Kawara Castle, and Hirota Castle are please, please ask Oishi Tomohisa to guard these three cities."

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Akuta led the 5th Standing Ashigaru Team to participate in this battle, and the rest stayed in the territory to assist Togo Heiji in holding the territory." Masaro said, "Besides, Kiyomasa, you quickly go to Ouchi's house and ask the other party to mediate. ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Duanmu Qingzheng bowed down and led the order. During this period of time, Duanmu Kiyomasa assisted Masato to maintain the relationship with the various powerful people, as well as the power of the temples in the territory, and achieved good results, plus another bus charter Ichijo Shenglong stayed in Sakai Town as the liaison between the Luo family and the imperial court and the wealthy merchants of Sakai Town, and now the foreign affairs in the territory can only rely on Duanmu Kiyomasa.

"Guozhi and loyalty, the two of you immediately arrange personnel to infiltrate the territories of the powerful and powerful, spread the news that the Shao Er family has attacked other people's territories regardless of the righteousness, and at the same time spread the news that the Longzao Temple family and several other powerful families are secretly uniting with the Luo family!" Masara commanded again. Since Hizen is now a mess, it's better to mix it up a little more.

Onishi Guozhi and Muzo Chongzhong also bowed down to receive orders.

On the morning of May 11, 1541, on the morning of the second day when he received the news that the alliance of the Shao Er family was attacking in three ways, Masarashi personally led the army to Takeo Castle.

This time, Masarashi brought with him a hundred cloaks, a hundred low-ranking samurai, thirty heralds, and a 200-strong fifth standing ashigaru. The accompanying generals were Akuta, the commander of the 5th Standing Ashigaru Brigade, Hidemasa Akimine, the general and physician of Ashigaru, and the flanks of Kanzo Kato, Hidan, Uemura Hontsuna, Tetsunosuke, Ueda Shinji, Ahri, and Honda Toshimasa. The cavalry general Miyasawa Heihachi also participated in this battle, but this time he could only lead the ashigaru, after all, the cavalry team had not yet completed its training, and it did not have the strength to participate in the battle, and it happened suddenly, and it was obviously impossible to wait for the convergence of the cavalry team far away in the wild mountains. In addition, the small surnames Luo Masamune, Murakami Takeyoshi, and Nabeshima Naoshige also followed Masarashi.

After the army reached Takeo Castle, after learning that the armies of the Ryuzoji clan, the Hirai clan, and the Arima clan were still converging, Masara gave the order to go out of the castle and take the initiative to attack.

So after leaving Akimine Hidemasa and the two to lead the remaining 100 people of the First Ashigaru Team to guard Takeo Castle, Masarashi led the army straight to the territory of the Hirai family. This time, the army was filled with a hundred people from the First Ashigaru Team led by Kane.

Several peasant soldiers of the Hirai family who were in charge of guarding the checkpoint saw the menacing army of the Luo family, and they resolutely abandoned the card and left.

"What kind of mountain is that mountain ahead?" After occupying the checkpoint of the Hirai family, Masarashi asked, pointing to a hill in front of him.

"My lord, that's Pig and Bear Mountain, not far from the bottom of the mountain is the simple earthen mound built by the former Goto family, to guard against the strong in the east, after the Goto family perished, the Hirai family took the opportunity to occupy it, and later burned it down." The detective who was in charge of leading the way immediately replied.

"Order, camp in that burned earth today." Masato ordered.

Soon, the army of the Luo family was stationed in the Pig and Bear Mountain, which was burned to the ground. Although the earthen has been burned, it is stuck in the passage where the Hirai family enters the plains outside Takeo Castle, and the front and back of the earthen are a mountain road with mountains and forests on both sides, which can be said to be a strategically important place.

"Ahri and Feiduan, you two will lead some people to the village in the territory of the Hirai family in front of you, and come back to grab some rice grain and wood and thatch." In the makeshift military tent of the earthen bar, Masara gave an order.

"Remember, be a little bit harsh, and you have to pretend to unintentionally let the villagers know that we need this thatch to be a thatch." Masato emphasized.

"Toshimasa Honda, Tetsunosuke, you two, lead some people to the villages we passed through just now, forcibly relocate those villages to the territory of their own family, and deliberately let some people go." Masato continued to command.

"Tsunade Muramoto, Shinji Ueda, today you are in charge of guarding the mountain road outside the earthen gate, and be careful to deliberately let some people who escaped from those villages in the rear escape the checkpoint and go in the direction of the ancient city of the Hirai family."

"Yes, Your Highness." Although I don't know why His Highness Lu Dao asked them to be bad people and release people to be good people, everyone bowed down to receive the order.

With Zhengliang's order, the village near the soil of Pig Bear Mountain suddenly had a meal of chickens and dogs. Bands of soldiers rushed into the villages, following the orders of Zhengliang, looting supplies and forcibly relocating villagers. And some of them were deliberately let go by the soldiers of the Luo family to the side of the ancient city of the Hirai family.

After the Luo family's army was stationed in the Pig and Bear Mountains for nearly a day, at dusk that day, the combined forces of the Takazoji clan, the Hirai clan, and the Arima clan finally arrived belatedly.
