Just when Nogami Fangzhong, who was on the wall of Yamaguchi Castle, was attracted by a mysterious military momentum that suddenly came, in the military array of the Luo family under the city, everyone in the Luo family also discovered the sudden guest. Just as Masato was about to send someone to check, a Luo family ranger who was in charge of guarding the neighborhood quickly rushed into the Luo family's main formation, and then came to Masahiro.

"Report to the lord, news has come from the north, Lord Akuta has been ordered to lead the first army to join the lord." The rangers immediately reported to Zheng Liangyu.

"Oh? Hahaha! Zhengliang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then laughed. He didn't expect that it was the army of Aguta that was coming from the north. At the beginning, Masarashi ordered Akuta's army to climb the mountain from the other side of the northern mountain range to the Yamaguchi area, but it was only to contain the Ouchi family defenders who were living in Tsukiyama Castle and prevent these defenders from coming to support Yamaguchi Castle.

Now that Akuta can appear near Yamaguchi Castle, it indicates that he must have taken Tsukiyama Castle. In this way, the army of Aguta not only completed his task, but also took Tsukiyama City, which has already completed the task assigned by Zhengliang in excess of the quota. This made Masahiro have to be happy. Except for Zhengliang, the rest of the generals in the big tent were very happy when they learned that the visitor turned out to be their own army. With the arrival of the army of Aguta, the three armies of the Luo family in the Shankou area this time have completely converged, which naturally gave a great encouragement to all the Luo family troops present, and their morale immediately rose rapidly.

The army of the Luo family was overjoyed. The Ouchi family army in Yamaguchi Castle is extremely sad. With Akuta, the army appeared under the city with the white background and black eagle banner of the Luo family. The defenders of the castle were all frightened and sad like frost beating eggplants, and the reinforcements they had hoped to come had turned into the help of the enemy army, and it was known from here that Tsukiyama Castle in the north had also fallen. In the entire Yamaguchi area, only Yamaguchi Castle in the center of the basin and Shoji Yamajo Castle to the west are left.

Only, is this really the case? This is clearly not. After the arrival of the army of Aguta. The size of the Luo family's military around Yamaguchi Castle quickly expanded. So Masarashi quickly dispatched a large army with Isono Yuanmasa as the main general, and directly killed the shoji mountain castle in the east.

In the face of the surging army of the Luo family, Takashi Noma, the defender of the shoji mountain castle, opened the city gate very honorably, and led the only remaining more than 100 defenders in the city to surrender to the Luo family. At this point, in the Yamaguchi area of the Ouchi family, there is only the lonely city of Yamaguchi Castle.

In order to further undermine the morale of the defenders in Yamaguchi Castle, Masara immediately ordered the surrendered soldiers of Himeyama Castle and Shoko Yamajo Castle to go to Yamaguchi Castle to serve as envoys to surrender. As for why there were no surrendered soldiers at Tsukiyama Castle, it was mainly because by the time Akuta led the army over the mountains and arrived at the foot of Tsukiyama Castle, Tsukiyama Castle was already empty. Obviously, the guards and soldiers here learned that the army of the Luo family had entered the mountain pass area. So they all escaped.

Will the defenders of Yamaguchi Castle still hold out? In particular, he was lured by the persuasion envoy outside the city to learn that he could save his life after surrendering to the Luo family, and even received new land and food with his family. On the night of the sixth day of the siege of Yamaguchi Castle, a small group of soldiers defending the castle took advantage of the night to open the eastern gate of Yamaguchi Castle, Otemon, and surrendered to the Luo family. So the army of the Luo family swarmed in.

On a small hill in the camp of the Luo family outside Yamaguchi Castle, Masara looked at Yamaguchi Castle under the darkness of the night, and suddenly sighed and said, "Once Yamaguchi Castle is lost, the Ouchi family is over!" ”

Back then, when the Luo family was still a pawn of the wealthy families of the Hizen Kingdom in Kyushu, the Ouchi family was still a giant that dominated the western country and the northern region of Kyushu. The Ouchi family is also moving towards the highest peak in history in the hands of this pair of monarchs and ministers, including the largest territory in the history of the Ouchi family. The so-called prosperity must decline, that is, in the hands of this pair of monarchs and ministers, in just a dozen years, it has prompted the Ouchi family to go from a giant to a weakness. Today, the little chess pieces of the past have become the new Big Mac, and they are about to send this former Big Mac into the tide of history.

Just as Masarashi was sighing, in the castle tower of Yamaguchi Castle, at this time, Nogami Fang Tadada, whose left hand was injured in the fierce battle and was already covered with blood, knelt down in front of Ouchi Yoshicho and pleaded loudly, "My lord, the enemy army has entered Honmaru, please flee from the West Gate as soon as possible." ”

In the face of Nogami's pleading, Ouchi Yoshinaga did not respond, at this time he looked up at the dark night outside the window, and tears involuntarily flowed from his eyes.

No one could understand his feelings. Yes, when he learned the news of the death of Tao Qingxian, the pillar who supported him, he was indeed very frightened and confused. Once, he was the second son of the Daimyo Otomo family in Kyushu and enjoyed a noble life, but as the family was destroyed by the Luo family, he also became a prisoner of the Luo family, and was placed under house arrest in Tadakoji Temple in Notakayama, Matsuura County, Hizen Province, and lived a day of chanting and fasting every day.

Originally, his life would end like this, but he was used as a bargaining chip with Tao Qingxian after the rebellion, and was sent to the Ouchi family by the Luo family, and then became the puppet governor of the Ouchi family with the support of Tao Qingxian.

It's just that even as a puppet, Yoshicho Ouchi has lived a rich life and tasted power a little. So, when the pillar of the family died and he was about to lose a qiē, he stood up and tried to stop the invasion of the Luo family and protect the one qiē he had in the Ouchi family. For the Luo family, especially the Kyushu eagle Luo Zhengliang, he has great hatred. He felt like fate, he was always going to be controlled by that hateful guy, so this time he had to fight, he wanted to make Luo Shi Zhengliang face himself, even if he failed in the end, he had to let Luo Shi Zhengliang spit out a mouthful of blood, and remember the name of his Ouchi Yoshicho.

However, in the end, he still failed, and in the end, he was not able to give Luo Zhengliang a headache. Now, it's time to wrap up.

The night, gradually deepening, even brought a chill. Outside the window, bursts of shouts and killings came from time to time. Yoshinaga Ouchi slowly stood up and calmly rolled up the two layers of mats on the tatami mats. Then, he walked to the knife holder in the room, took off the short knife, sat down at the table, slowly looked around, and finally fixed his eyes on Nogami Fangzhong, who was kneeling on the floor with his head bowed, and said calmly:

"Fang Zhong, make a mistake for me." (To be continued......)
