In the military tents of the three allied forces of Longzoji, Arima, and Hirai, everyone quarreled over the information they had just obtained about the Luo family.

"Don't miss the opportunity, we should pursue it immediately." Kisaharu Hirai proposed. This time he was determined to show something, because the Shaoji family had already privately promised that as long as he behaved well this time, the Shaoji family would definitely protect the Hirai family from the Takazoji family. In the past two years, every conflict with the Longzoji Temple ended with the defeat of the Hirai family, and the family's territory had been encroached upon by the Longzoji Temple, and the Hirai family had to seek refuge from the strong. Although the Shaoji family has declined, as the nominal guardian of Hizen, there is still a certain amount of restraint on the Takazoji family.

"No, I'm afraid there is fraud in this." The Cheng family of Longzoji Temple immediately objected.

"The three families sent detectives into the earth at the same time to investigate, what do you think?" Dobiliang Chongchun started to make peace again.

Soon, the detectives of the three families entered the earth occupied by the Luo family during the day, and found that it was indeed empty. So it was reported immediately.

"The Luo family really retreated overnight?" Takazoji Sumiya said incredulously.

"If we wait for the three to pursue at the same time, we will definitely be able to win." This time, it was replaced by Tobira Shigejun, who advocated the pursuit. After all, this time, the Shao Er family has promised that whoever raids the Luo family's territory will belong to that family. Now that the Luo family has evacuated overnight, something big must have happened in the territory, and if they pursue it later, they will definitely be able to win a big victory at this time. If you can hit the main force of the Luo family tonight, or even capture or take the head of the Luo family alive. Their army will be able to enter the Luo family's territory first, and a large number of the territory will be theirs at that time.

Dobiliang thought of this problem, and the other two also thought of it. The three finally reached an agreement to immediately lead their troops in pursuit. It's just that on the issue of which one is the vanguard, the three families have disagreed again, and everyone at this time has the mentality of wanting to enter the territory of the Luo family first and worrying about the deception of the allies behind them. After some debate, the three families finally reached a decision to divide the army into three columns and pursue them at the same time.

As a result, the army of more than 400 people was divided into three columns, with the Takaszoji family on the left, the Arima family in the middle, and the Hirai family on the right. Mightily slaughtered into the earth under the Pig Bear Mountain.

"Keep pursuing." In the midst of the earth, the coalition forces found nothing but a pile of thatch and a foul smell everywhere. The generals of each family immediately gave the order to continue the pursuit. So, the army took the torches and once again hurried forward along the mountain road.

"Your Highness, the opposing army has entered the ambush circle." On a hill not far from the mountain road, Masayo was under the escort of everyone, watching all the movements under the mountain. This one herald came to report.

"Let the teams wait and wait for the opposing army to completely pass through the earth before attacking." Masara said.

The herald took the order and departed.

"Quick. Hurry up for me! At this moment, he rushed to the front of the queue, and Hirai Keiji urged. This battle will not only allow the Hirai family to gain more territory. And you can also get the protection of the young family. Therefore, among the generals of the three families, he is the most anxious.

In comparison, the Cheng family and family gate of Longzoji Temple, which are in the middle of the army, and the Tabiliang Shigejun and Yasutomi Naoji who are in the rear, seem to be much calmer.

"I always feel that this retreat of the Luo family is strange!" The door of the house of Takazoji Temple said worriedly while constantly scanning the mountains and forests next to the mountain road.

"Well, I'll be careful, and order the soldiers to keep an eye on what is going on around them." The Cheng family of Longzoji Temple also nodded and said.

"Whoosh...... Bang" While the two were discussing, a little spark suddenly rose on the mountain not far away, and then a loud bang sounded in the air.

Loud bangs. Let the marching team stop and watch.

"Not good, be careful!" The Cheng family of Longzoji Temple suddenly became alert. But this sentence was shouted a little late, only the sound of "whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" was heard, and a rain of arrows suddenly shot from the mountains and forests on both sides.

"Ahh Yes! Ah......h

"Get down now!" The Sumiya of Takazoji shouted. But his shouting only had an effect on the soldiers around him. Because the problem of the three families being in unison and then hiding is now revealed. The generals of the family can only order the soldiers of the family, and it has no effect on the soldiers of the other two families. Although the soldiers of the family who received the order settled down, they were soon disrupted by the soldiers of the other two families who were still in chaos.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh......" arrows shot out from the mountains and forests on both sides without interruption. At such a close distance, the soldiers of the Luo family did not need to aim at all, they only needed to shoot at the firelight in the mountain road. The damage of the coalition forces is increasing dramatically.

But their calamity is not over.

"Wow, the dirt in the back is burning!" I don't know who Lu Dao shouted in panic. The crowd looked back. I saw that the earth that was fine just now had turned into a sea of fire. Some of the soldiers who remained in the earth were set on fire and rushed out screaming in panic.

Among these people who rushed out, there were two people who were embarrassed, Dobi Liang Shigechun and Yasufu Naoji. They were just about to walk out of the earthen with the army when they suddenly saw a fire dragon lit in the woods to the left of the earthen wall. Before they could figure out what was going on, the dragon quickly stretched along the ground and into the mound, and then the dirt beneath their feet suddenly burst into flames, even their straw sandals.

The two of them immediately ran out of the earth with a rolling belt, and it took a lot of effort to extinguish the fire on their feet, but at this time, because the earth suddenly burned, and the two generals who were the queen of the palace took care of themselves to extinguish the fire, causing the rear army to lose its command, and all the soldiers suddenly became chaotic.

When the two of them realized the problem, another rain of arrows was fired from both sides, and the two had to shout and order the army to meet the enemy while resisting the attack of the rain of arrows.

The middle and rear armies have been completely thrown into chaos, but what about the front armies?

"Quick, rush forward!" Hirai Keiji lay on the ground and shouted in fear.

After being attacked by a rain of arrows, Hirai Keiji tried to organize his men to take refuge in the mountains and forests on both sides, but as soon as they entered the mountain forest, rows of spears stretched out from the trees inside, stabbing to death more than a dozen unprepared soldiers. The ironclad facts tell Hirai that the mountains and forests on both sides are the traps of death. Therefore, he could only order the soldiers around him to move forward and try to escape from the enemy's encirclement.

"Ahh Ah......h

Hirai Keiji looked up and saw that the five or six soldiers who had been rushing to the front suddenly disappeared out of thin air, but their screams were still ringing nearby from time to time.

What the hell is going on? Keiji Hirai saw that he was in a cold sweat all over his body.

"Oh no, there's a trap ahead, don't go to the front, go backwards!" At this time, a soldier finally realized that his companion, who had suddenly disappeared in front of him, had fallen into the trap.

As a result, a large group of soldiers from the three coalition forces who had been rushing forward began to turn around and run backwards again, and immediately collided with the coalition soldiers who did not know the situation but were eager to escape. The two groups of people were suddenly in a mess.

"Whoosh, whoosh........." Luo Shifan in the mountains and forests will let go of this kind of beating of water dogs, and another round of arrow rain will come.

In the mountain road, the sound of arrows, shouts of killing, screams, and shouts became one.

After an hour, the battlefield finally quieted down. Masarashi immediately arranged for manpower to begin clearing the battlefield.

In the early morning of the second day, in a vacant lot near the earthen kiln, in the military tent that the Luo family had temporarily set up last night, the retainers were returning to Zhengliang about the cleaning of the battlefield.

"Your Highness, more than 160 heads have been captured on the battlefield, and more than 100 prisoners have been captured." Kato Duanzo replied.

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has fulfilled his mission and personally sought the general of the Hirai family, Hirai Jingji!" Hondajun replied with a bloody head. Half a month ago, with the help of the Luo family, he led his family and several friends to officially join the Luo family. For the sake of his family, especially his two-year-old son, he decided to give up his life. Zhengliang also fulfilled his promise and recruited him as a close person. As for his son, Honda Masanobu, he was adopted as a small surname. It's just that because he is too young, he has to wait until he is a little older to officially follow Zhengliang's side.

The surname is a promising career, and it almost means that you will be promoted with the prosperity of the main family. Both Toshimasa Honda and his wife are very satisfied with this. I secretly felt that this move was the right decision. Of course, what they don't know is that their move this time can be regarded as saving Honda Toshimasa's life. If Toshimasa Honda remained in Mikawa, he would soon be drafted into the army against the Oda family, and Toshimasa Honda would have died in battle.

"Very good, Shang gave ten stones of miscellaneous grains and a golden eagle feather medal, I hope to work harder in the future!" Masarashi nodded and said.

Honda Toshimasa received his reward with great gratitude.

Several retainers next to him were envious when they saw that Honda Toshimasa had been rewarded by the head of the family. Secretly muttered to himself, this guy is really lucky, the first time he followed the head of the family to the battlefield, he begged for the head of the other party's general. In comparison, the heads of the few samurai they had obtained were not so valuable.

Masato is also very satisfied with last night's battle. According to the information available now, the three-armed coalition was a crushing defeat last night. Of the army of more than 400 people, more than 160 people were killed, more than 100 people were captured, plus the deserters who escaped during the night, it is estimated that more than 100 people will be able to escape back in the end, including many wounded people, which can be said to be completely useless. The only pity is that this time only the head of Hirai Keiji was left, and the Sumiya of Takazoji Temple, the family of Takazoji Temple, Tobira Shigejun, and Naoharu Yasutomi finally escaped.
