"My lord, be careful!"

At the moment when Yoshihiro Kanri lost his mind due to the sudden attack of the Luo family, he suddenly heard the kin samurai behind him shouting.

Ji Hongjian was immediately startled, and then reacted immediately, but the reaction was obviously a little slow. Just as the dozen or so arrows whizzing behind him were about to shoot at him, his body was suddenly taken by the clan warrior behind him, and he quickly swooped down on the side of the road. In an instant, his mount let out a wail, and in the blink of an eye, it was shot by a dozen feathered arrows, and then he went crazy in pain, and ran straight forward.

Yoshihiro Kanri, who picked up a life, saw his beloved horse run away with more than a dozen feather arrows inserted in his body, and he really wanted to cry without tears, it was his favorite war horse.

"Thank you, go back and reward a stone of rice." After finally recovering from the grief of losing his beloved horse, Yoshihiro immediately thanked the samurai of his kinship who had stood in front of him to protect him.

At this moment, Yoshihiro Kanri heard the earth-shattering shouts of killing coming from the woods on the side of the mountain. Under the afternoon sun, I don't know how many soldiers of the Luo family descended from the sky like divine soldiers, armed with spears and knives to kill from the jungle one after another. These soldiers of the Luo family had obviously been in ambush in the woods for a long time, and while they were waiting for work, they even rushed the Dayou coalition army that was marching on the side of the road into several sections in one go.

The alliance of the Otomo family, which was suddenly ambushed, quickly formed a family to resist alone, and then was eaten up by the Luo family in sections. There are clearly already signs of defeat.

"Come to me!" Seeing such a scene, Yoshihiro immediately began to shout loudly to order the soldiers to gather around him and organize the soldiers to resist.

It's just that the soldiers of the Luo family are too brave. Almost one soldier can withstand the soldiers of two coalition armies. Plus they seem to be deliberately forming an attacking camp in twos and threes. Cover each other and kill the coalition forces to retreat one after another. Coupled with the fact that the soldiers of the Luo family continued to fight out of the forest, the Otomo family coalition army was unable to concentrate its forces at all due to the long marching line, and formed a formation to counterattack. Yoshihiro Kanri raised the sword in his hand, shouted urgently, and kept ordering the retreating ashigaru to turn back and kill back.

All of a sudden. The soldiers of the Luo clan and the Otomo clan allied with their feet in the paddy fields, running and jumping with each other, each with their legs covered in mud holding spears and stabbing at each other. Many of the Otomo family coalition troops who retreated in embarrassment slipped on their feet and fell into the mud, and then they were stabbed to death in the paddy field with spears by several Luo family soldiers who caught up.

"Kill, kill me!" The one-eyed dragon of the Luo family, Luo Masamune, who wore an eyepatch, cut off the head of one of the samurai of the Otomo family's coalition army with a knife, and a stream of blood suddenly gushed out of the other party's broken neck. Squirting directly in his face, he casually wiped the blood from his face. Then he shouted hideously.

"Kill, blow up their!" Asakura Zongdi, who was not far away, also shouted. I don't know when, he also learned this unique military horn of the Luo family.

"Sixth, you're the sixth head I'm about to harvest today." At this time, Tetsunosuke, who had just won the fifth first rank, said with a cruel smile to a samurai of the Otomo family in front of him. In the last battle of Tianping Castle, he won one less head than Asakura Zongdi, and he was very angry about this, so this time he held back his strength and prepared to overtake.

Although they were very envious of these guys being able to fight so freely, as the main generals, the Enjoji Shinyin and the executive were more aware that their duty was to ensure the command of the soldiers under their command at any time, so at this time they had to stand on the edge of the battlefield under the protection of a few soldiers to command.

As for Kumon Shigetada, he was very unfortunate enough to be assigned as the bodyguard of Shinnosuke Akabane, the military advisor of the general of the army. At this time, he was beating up an Otomo samurai with several samurai who were also assigned to guard the general general.

It is clearly stipulated in the military instructions of the Roche family. When it is possible to give full play to the numerical superiority, it is absolutely not allowed to fight alone, and it is necessary to resolutely encircle and beat the enemy, and if it is possible to get two people, it is necessary to resolutely create conditions for three people. At this time, they are practicing the military training of the Luo family with their own practical actions.

Victory is often determined by battles with samurai. At this time, although the samurai of the Otomo coalition army gambled their lives and desperately stepped forward to fight back, after all, in this battle, the samurai of the Luo family, including the generals, who had invested more than 100 people, had an absolute advantage in numbers, and in addition, the combat effectiveness of the samurai of the Luo family was obviously much higher than that of the samurai of the Otomo family, and what made the samurai of the Otomo family even more desperate was that these samurai of the Luo family would cooperate with each other. As a result, they continued to fall under the swords and spears of the warriors of the Luo family.

The killing continued, and the shrill screams continued to be heard from a distance, and it was clear that there was no end to it, and the Otomo coalition forces elsewhere had already been routed.

"My lord, run away. You can't stay here any longer. The kinship samurai beside him shouted. At this time, the relative samurai who had saved Yoshihiro Kanri's life had already been loyal to Yoshihiro Kanri. The one who spoke now was his nephew.

"Let's go!" Seeing that the soldiers of the Luo family around him had gradually surrounded him, Yoshihiro Jianli was not a stupid person, so he immediately ordered.

So, under the courageous struggle of the soldiers around him, Yoshihiro Kanri and others quickly retreated back and forth.

"Your Excellency, the main general of the enemy army is about to escape." At this time, several samurai standing beside Shinnosuke Akabane immediately reminded.

Who knew that after hearing this, Shinnosuke Akabane smiled indifferently, and instead ordered: "Don't worry, herald, herald team to maintain the current tight camp, only need to defeat the other party, no need to fight hard with the other party, let alone pursue the deserter alone." ”

"Huh?" The samurai who were in charge of guarding Shinnosuke Akabane couldn't help but look at each other. They all muttered in their hearts, Lord General, this is the one who made trouble? It's hard to understand.

As for the thoughts in the hearts of these samurai, Shinnosuke Akabane obviously knew. But he just smiled faintly and didn't dwell too much. In fact, before coming here, he received a secret letter from Masayo. Masaliang's request for this resistance battle is very simple, that is, it is okay to defeat the opponent, and there is no need to fight hard with the opponent.

Masara's idea coincided with Shinnosuke Akabane's thoughts. At present, the strength of the Luo family is not enough to immediately intervene in the complicated situation of Feihou, so this battle can be done as long as it ensures that its own strength will not be lost too much, and the enemy army can be defeated. Otherwise, once you lose both, the cheapest ones are still the Otomo family and the Sagara family. Besides, doesn't the Luo family still have Kikuchi Yoshitake as an ally? Now is the time for them to make a difference.

Regarding the Luo family's abacus, Ji Hong Jianli must not know the way at this moment. He only knew that since he came out of the battlefield, there had been no more pursuers from the Luo family. But at this time, there were only a few dozen people left around him. The rest of the soldiers were either killed or fled, and some simply surrendered.

The team of more than 2,000 people at the time of departure, there were indeed less than 50 people with him at this time, and everyone was injured, which made Yoshihiro Kanri suddenly have a sense of powerlessness.

It's a pity that it seems that God is deliberately working against him. Just as he came to the vicinity of Suwa Shrine with his rout, he was confronted by a team of hundreds of people.

The leader of this team was a monk, and when he saw Yoshihiro and a few people, his eyes immediately lit up, and then he immediately shouted: "Kikuchi family Ryuzoji Takanobu has been waiting here for a long time. ”

This person is none other than Ryuzoji Takanobu who fled from Chikugo to Higo. After coming to Higo, in order to settle down, he took refuge in Higo's Ichikozong and renamed himself a monk with the legal name "Full Moon Fang". Now Higo Ichijomune has secretly allied himself with Kikuchi Yoshitake, and he has simply become Kikuchi Yoshitake's retainer. This time, he was ordered to come to deal with the ambush of the Luo family. Along the way, he had already packed dozens of people with his subordinates. And now Yoshihiro Kanri and others are the first batch of routs they have encountered.

Even so, when he saw Yoshihiro Kanri's shining armor, Ryuzoji Takanobu knew that he had encountered a big fish at this time. Therefore, he immediately decided to arrest Yoshihiro Jianli and take it back to receive merit.

"Is this my life over!?" Seeing that so many soldiers who were not good at it suddenly appeared, Yoshihiro immediately shouted in his heart.

At this moment, another large group of routs appeared on the mountain road. Look at the flag family pattern, it is the Omiya family and the Kai family.

"Quick, let them converge this way." Seeing that there were about fifty people on the other side, Yoshihiro immediately asked the guards around him to shout for the rout on the mountain road to converge here.

"Strategist, it seems to be the general over there!" At the same time, the people on the mountain path also discovered the situation under Suwa Shrine. The general of the Omiya family, who had already pretended to be an ordinary ashigaru, said immediately when he found out that it was the general Yoshihiro Kanri who was besieged.

"Young master, at this time, with the wounded soldiers of you and me, even with the soldiers of Lord Yoshihiro Jianli, they are far from being the opponents of the other party, so let's retreat as soon as possible before the other party reacts to block the mountain road." After thinking about it for a while, Fei immediately gave the most rational advice.

"Then follow the orders of the military advisor." Aso, who was obedient to Kai, immediately agreed.

"Young master, you have to let the people behind you not mention today's events." Kai Fei reminded after the most proximal remind.

"Good!" Aso nodded his head. Subsequently, the defeated troops of the Omiya clan and the Kai clan went directly to the edge of the conflict site before the people of Ryuzoji Takanobu had time to block the mountain road.

"Your Excellency?" Seeing that the new person fled like this, the people around him immediately asked Ryuzoji Takanobu if he needed to pursue him.

"Forget it, it's just a bunch of miscellaneous soldiers, don't chase it. As long as you catch this big fish, whether it is to Lord Kikuchi or the Luo family, you can already explain it. Ryuzoji Takanobu smiled and looked at Yoshihiro Kanri and the others, who had fallen into despair because of the sudden departure of the reinforcements. (To be continued......)
