"Woo woo woo ......"

At this time, outside the bamboo castle of the Chikugo Kusano family's main castle, the Luo family's conch horn had already sounded.

It was already dawning, and the milky morning mist was cold on Masayo's face.

"Take the horse seal!" Masarashi ordered sternly.

After Masarashi inserted the horse seal into the saddle, the conch horn sounded again. That was the signal that the vanguard had arrived at the intended location. About 500 soldiers divided into several roads in the rice fields that had already been harvested. In the morning mist, they let out a high-pitched cry and pushed forward. Undoubtedly, the soldiers defending the city were probably in a mess at this time.

"The city is about to be attacked, and again, don't act rashly!" In the morning mist, after seeing the Tawei Mitsuryo Jun, who was the standard-bearer of Masara's main array for the first time today, ran over, Masara immediately said.

The multi-tailed light dragon Jun replied and nodded emphatically.

Tayotoshi's eyes tell Masarashi that they have entered the tense and exuberant state before the battle. For Masayo, who began to fight on the battlefield at the age of sixteen or seventeen, there was nothing unusual about the air here.

The battle is together, life and death are unpredictable. Once out of the city, Masato feels that his body no longer belongs to him. "Guanglongjun, keep going!"

Masayo's main formation was arranged on a hillside in the southwest corner of Bamboo City, and it had already been set up before the morning fog cleared, waiting for the flag to be raised. The team is commanded by Tomohisa Oishi, and the ones in charge of guarding Masarashi are Hidan, Ahri, and Taketori Snake Ranmaru.

Shouts were heard in the morning fog all around. The enemy is nowhere to be seen. Undoubtedly, they are preparing for war in a panic. The dirt slope in front of it resembles an ink painting. Suddenly, a flock of sparrows rose from the rice field in front of them, almost covering the dirt slope.

The multi-tailed light dragon couldn't help but stop Ma Song, "Lord! He shouted. But Masato didn't hear it. In the fading morning mist. From time to time, he urged his horse forward.

The sun rises high. A newly created Black Eagle Horse Seal from the Territory Workshop. With a beautiful glow in the morning mist, the heavily armed subordinates had headed for the hill.

"Lord!" Tayo Koryūjun hurried forward and caught up with Masayo, "Don't be careless." The enemy may have deployed troops outside the city. ”

"Ambush?" Zhengliang was immediately stunned.

"Look, the direction the sparrow flies ......"

As they spoke, a flock of sparrows chirped over their heads and flew towards the enemy. Masato was suddenly shocked. It's really possible that there was an ambush in such a scene. As a precaution, Masashi immediately ordered:

"Immediately put up a command flag on the slope."

Shortly after the flag was raised. The morning fog gradually lifted. Stacked all around, piles of straw that were too late to process, the thatch around the rice paddies swaying gently in the breeze, and the ranks shuttling through them are as small as ant colonies. As the Lingqi pointed out, the team pressed towards the gate of Bamboo City from all directions, but the city was quiet, no one released arrows, and there seemed to be no one guarding.

Masalai handed the whip to Fei Duan and was about to dismount, but he unconsciously suddenly looked back.

"Huh?"

I saw that in a place that I could not reach, the light of the spear flashed.

"Look. There......"

The multi-tailed light dragon jun hurried over and looked back.

"Sure enough......"

"Who could it be?"

"Enemy."

"Enemies?" Masato exclaimed. At this time. Out of nowhere, the horn sounded, and countless flags were erected in the woods around the rice fields at the same time. 1st Team, 2nd Team, 3rd ...... The banner of the front team was dyed with apricot leaves.

"Ahh Masarashi shouted on horseback, "It's the Otomo family!" ”

The apricot leaf is the family crest of the Otomo family. The Otomo family's army, which was supposed to fight fiercely with the Ouchi family on the north bank of the Chikugo River, actually appeared here.

The multi-tailed light dragon was silent, still staring closely behind him. Flocks of sparrows swept overhead and flew into the distance, "Lord! Enemy reinforcements arrived. ”

"Damn." Masayo's wrist trembled violently, "It's been calculated." Horsewhip. ”

"Yes!" Fei Duan handed over the horsewhip that he had just received in his hand.

"Send someone to see if there is an ambush in the woods there!" Masato said at the same time.

"Huh? Be careful! As soon as Masahiro's words fell, dozens of long arrows were shot from the direction that Masayo had just pointed. Since this distance is beyond the warning range of Masara's own system, so up to now, Masara has not found out that there is an ambush hidden there. If he hadn't sent someone to investigate just in case, and the other party had to show up in advance, it is estimated that if Masarashi reappeared in a surprise attack while he was directing the battle, Masarashi would have been really dangerous.

Seeing that the arrows were coming straight towards Masahiro, the hundred miles of black under Masahiro suddenly raised his front hooves and galloped towards the side of the hill. narrowly escaped a catastrophe, but a few cloaked people who couldn't react were hit, and only Fei Duan and the others dodged because of their agility.

As Masayo was running down the hill, several arrows were aimed at him again. In the rain of arrows, Masato pulled out the word Jigang and calmly waved his knife to block the arrows......

Masara realized that at this time he had fallen into a trap carefully arranged by the Otomo family. At this time, there were enemy troops in the front and rear, and the trees in the mountains and forests on the left were shaking, and it was obvious that there were ambushes inside, and the only way out was the dense small river near the south bank of the Chikugo River. It's just that at this time, the enemy forces in front and behind are quickly surrounding that direction.

And just as Masara realized, at this time, on a hill not far from Masa, the general of the Otomo family, Toji Ken Renzheng, laughed loudly: "This time I can finally solve this fat eagle, even if you are full of feathers, I must shoot your eagle down this time." Ha lu haha. Quick, blow the trumpet, blow the trumpet! ”

"My lord, do you want to set up a military flag?"

"Not yet, it's too early. When the defending soldiers leave the city, they suddenly stick the flag under the enemy's nose! ”

At this time, Tadao Mitsuryūjun had already rushed in front of Masarashi with a gun and rushed into the vanguard of the Otomo family. He rushed left and right, as if he wanted to fight a bloody way for Zhengliang.

"Takatsushi is here! Death to those who stand in my way! The enemy panicked and scattered on both sides.

"Kan Six. Above! ”

An Ashigaru samurai came out in response.

"Do you know that I'm a multi-tailed light dragon?"

Kanroku didn't answer, but stood on the narrow ridge, blocking the way of Tadao Mitsuyoshi.

"Takayasu Koryujun. Fast! "Masarashi was jolting on horseback. Urging the multi-tailed light dragon jun to flee quickly. But Kanroku pointed a gun at the multi-tailed light dragon Jun, his expression was calm and motionless.

"Lord, run, let my multi-tailed light dragon jun stop them!" The multi-tailed light dragon shouted without looking back.

Suddenly, cheers rang out from behind, and the soldiers defending the city came out of the city.

Masahiro's horse leaped again. Arrows rained down on the Black Eagle Horse Print. One shot in the ass of Thyme.

"My lord! The flying segment is coming! ”

"Ahri is here!" Seeing that the situation was critical, the two protected Zhengliang from left and right.

At this moment, there was also a shout from the grass on the right.

"Ahh I don't know who shouted, "It's the horse seal of the Ouchi Akizuki family!" ”

"What?" The political conscience suddenly became shocked. The Autumn Moon family actually appeared in the camp of the enemy army, which can only mean that this time it is the Otomo family and the Ouchi family who have joined forces to deal with the Luo family. Sure enough, in order to fool the Luo family, the two families even acted with real knives and guns on the north bank of the Chikugo River. It's just that the Autumn Moon family isn't on the North Shore? How the hell did you get here? Looking at the direction in which the other party came, there is no doubt that it has cut off Zhengliang's retreat.

"My lord! Retreat...... "The multi-tailed Koryu Jun in front of him shouted again. Suddenly, an incredible sound spread all around, and even the earth trembled. The right leg of the multi-tailed light dragon plopped down and knelt down. But he was not hit by an arrow. He wasn't stabbed by a gun, he felt like his right leg was on fire. Piercing pain.

But Tayo still crooked his neck, ready to take on Kanroku.

Although the head of Tayo Koryūjun will be a rare trophy on today's battlefield, Kanroku has no intention of killing him, and he said, "Ah, it's an iron cannon? Then he put away his gun and quickly withdrew to the Otomo army.

The multi-tailed light dragon jun suddenly relaxed, only to find that his legs were dripping with blood.

"I was shot by an iron cannon!" Looking at the blood on his legs that had soaked through his pants, Takayasu muttered to himself. It seems that the lord's Nanban friend sold the iron cannon to the enemy.

Tadao Koryūjun took off the strip of cloth from his waist and bandaged his legs. Only then did he realize that the enemy had been tightly surrounded from all sides. He couldn't move, and he felt like his life was coming to an end. The sound of trumpets, the sound of swords fighting, the sound of screams, the sound of arrows cutting through the air, all this faded away, and he saw only the blue sky.

At this moment, a reprimand suddenly sounded in his ears: "Multi-tailed Light Dragon Jun, stand up!" ”

"Yes...... Be! ”

"I'm a flying duan. Are you still a retainer of the Luo family? ”

"Yes...... Be. ”

"Then you have to stand up! Stand up and protect your lord! ”

"Yes!" The multi-tailed light dragon Jun lay on the ground with his hands.

"My lord! Where is the lord? Light Dragon Jun I ...... Light Dragon Jun I ......" The multi-tailed Light Dragon Jun crawled forward, his body bones rolling into the paddy field, and a scarlet appeared in front of his eyes.

"My lord! Guang Yongjun ...... Guanglongjun, I'm here. ”

Gradually, the multi-tailed light dragon jun felt that his body was getting colder and colder, and his eyes were getting darker and darker......

At this time, the reinforcements of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family, who were waving flags in the grass on the right, had already surrounded the main camp of the Luo family, and were gradually shrinking the encirclement. The Luo family's army has been divided and surrounded. The soldiers who came out of the city and the reinforcements who did not enter the city skillfully weaved a net to encircle the Luo family's army.

The front is the enemy, and the back is also the enemy. Masara tightened his reins, slammed his horse and rushed towards the main formation of the Ouchi Akizuki family in front of him, shouting to the people next to him, "Everyone, please follow me!" This is the most rebellious sprint! He shouted, and the sharp words of Yoshioka struck the clear sky, glittering.

Everyone in the Luo family responded and followed behind Zhengliang. Baili Hei under Zhengliang had already been hit by three arrows at this time. On a sunny autumn day, only the golden horse prints are particularly eye-catching. Seeing all this from a distance, Toji Kanrenxiu slapped the saddle pot again, he smiled, everything was expected, "Don't shoot, save ammunition." ”

Because he found that the iron cannon used on the battlefield for the first time did not make the opponent who was already familiar with the iron run fearful. Moreover, the original valuable bullet did not hit Luo Masara, but only hit the multi-tailed Koryūjun who rushed ahead.

"If your own people are coming, if you miss your head slightly, you may be injured by mistake and stop shooting."

These iron cannons were bought by Otomo Yoshikan from those "ghosts" for tens of thousands of gold. But it's very precious. If it weren't for the fact that it was used to deal with the eagle of Luo Zhengliang, the fat front. It's not going to be useful today.

In fact, there was no need to show the musket, as soon as Masahiro's horse seal was seen, the big friendly army would hold spears and flock up from all directions. The archers were also aimed at him.

By this time, Masara had come to a small river, and the river was sparkling in the summer sun. Toji Kanren felt that Masato probably wouldn't even be able to reach the river this time. Seeing that an opponent who had defeated him several times head-on was about to die tragically in front of him, Toji Kenren suddenly had a strange feeling.

Masara has swung his knife and slashed down a man who had come to stab him with a gun. By this time, he had already slashed more than twenty enemy soldiers. Suddenly, a spear stabbed his horse in the head. The horse raised its hooves in pain and leaped into the air. The black eagle horse seal is like a painting, radiating a brilliant light.

"Sure enough, it is worthy of being the eagle of the fat front who is both wise and brave. Don't let him go! ”

Masara finally came to the river. He was in danger. After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is no match for countless bows and arrows. Fortunately, because Ma Yin hid behind the bushes, he just blocked the sight of the pursuers behind him.

A samurai flew like an arrow from the ranks of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family's army that was desperately resisting the attack of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family. On the small flag behind it, the word "Broken Soul" is written in a big book. This person is the broken soul of the ninja tomb of the banner head of the Masayo Cloak. It is said that he was a ninja in the Shinano region, and that his family was destroyed by Takeda Shingen, who fled to Kyushu, and eventually became a member of the Luo family's cloaks. His dream is to one day return to Shinano to kill Takeda Shingen and avenge his family. No one knew his real name, he only told others that his name was "Broken Soul of the Grave". It means that in order to take revenge, even his soul is buried in the grave.

"Broken Soul. Fast! ”

Another man followed. The man stood behind him with a banner and leaned towards Masahiro brandishing his sword.

"Is it a flying segment?" Masahiro guessed right. In the melee, the first to discover that Masahiro's situation was critical was Feiduan, and then bravely broke through the encirclement to protect Masahiro. By this time, Ahri and Taketori Snake Ranmaru were already standing in front of Masara, and they were enough to make the Owari soldiers who were surging forward not dare to move forward.

"My lord! Let's fight to the death together! Flying Duan went straight to the enemy on the left, while Tomb Breaker approached Masarashi with a broadsword, then suddenly grabbed the reins of his horse and jumped into the stream on the right.

"Are you crazy? Rains! ”

"Nonsense!" The broken soul of the tomb no longer cares about humility.

"Retreat! Fast! ”

"Wait!"

"Can't wait any longer. Escape from the river. Rush out of the enemy's rain of arrows. ”

There is not a single decent tree on either side of the creek. Only a few weeping willows and a few wild mulberry trees are about to sprout and spit green, but they can finally hide some of them. They hide behind trees.

"Lord!" The broken soul of the tomb looked back at Zhengliang, and his teeth were about to crush, "Is the lord still the governor of the Luo family?" ”

"Broken Soul of the Tomb!" Masato is also gritting his teeth now, his blood is boiling at this time, and he feels that he must not abandon his retainers and run away alone at this time.

"Down—get off the horse!" But the Broken Soul of the Tomb didn't listen to him, but asked Masato to dismount, and then suddenly pounced on Masa.

"Hey!" The roaring Tomb Severer almost lifted the entire Masahiro who had been attacked suddenly and pushed him to the ground.

"Let it go...... Licentious! ”

"Rude and presumptuous can apologize afterwards. But there is only one life. ”

After knocking Masara down, the broken soul of the tomb did not stop, and grabbed his chest again and rode on him like a horse.

"What are you going to do?"

"Take off your armor to me."

"Broken Soul! You ......"

"For disobedience, let me go to that world to ask for sin!"

Masara was blindsided, and he didn't even have the strength to resist, he was shocked by the sudden act of loyalty to the Savior of the Tomb Broken Soul, and before that, he really hadn't personally experienced anything that his retainer was willing to risk for his own sake. Even in the Battle of Kishigaku Castle that year, the death of Hirasa Masatada, Tsuda Hiromune and others in battle in order to fight for the safe evacuation of Kishigaku Castle for Masayo was not what Masato saw beforehand. Now, a similar scene is happening right now.

In a few moments, the armor was stripped away, and Masayo was put on the heavy, sweat-smelling helmet of the Tomb Breaker.

"Take care! Please don't forget, if his own army attacks Shinano one day, please place the head of Takeda Shingen in front of the tomb of his subordinates. "The Broken Soul of the Tomb puts the small flag behind him behind Masayo. Shouted.

Masarashi no longer has the strength to straighten out his armor. There was a gurgling in his throat. But he still looked up. He saw that the black eagle horse mark shone brightly and faded away.

On the other side, the head of the Ouchi Akizuki family, Akizuki Wengen, didn't expect that Masashi, who had disappeared from view, would reappear from the stream again.

"Why did you show up again?" Qiu Yuewen thought with a little complicated feelings. Because a side room in his family was once rescued by Zhengliang back then, coupled with the fact that he had his in-laws Shenwu Shaoce pulling the needle from it, the relationship between the Qiuyue family and the Luo family has always been good. This time, the Ouchi family responded to the request of the Otomo family to jointly calculate the Luo family, and he, Tao Longfang and others were clearly opposed. For this reason, Tao Longfang even refused Ouchi Yoshitaka's order to go out of battle, and directly led troops to Aki to support Maori's family. Compared to the Tao family, the strength of the Qiuyue family is much smaller, so they have to follow the orders of Yoshitaka Ouchi. In order to avoid direct confrontation with Zhengliang. He even chose a place that was more backward, but providence made people, and he finally confronted Zhengliang.

At this time, more than twenty archers were lying in ambush on either side of him, just waiting for Masara to cross the stream. The pikes were also already in ambush ahead. Among these people were several samurai from the Ouchi family. They are in charge of monitoring the movements of the Akizuki family.

"Hey, shoot!" Qiuyue Wen clasped his hands. When he saw the golden horse mark shaking in the bushes, he had no choice but to give the order.

"Jing Ran is still alive, so patient!" Akizuki Wenzhong was beside him, ostensibly to help, but in fact he was here to monitor, but Sugi Shigeki was talking to himself.

When Baili Black was completely exposed in front of everyone. Bows and arrows rained down. As if sucked in, the arrows shot at the armor of the multi-tailed light dragon, but the centaurs did not fall. Not even a single arrow was shot at Baili Hei's body. The pikemen shouted and ran towards Baili Hei. Baili Hei still did not stop.

The multi-tailed light dragon jun held high the horse seal of Masayo, with the most powerful strength. Lead the enemy to the far horizon.

The pikes pounced, and in the blink of an eye, they caught up with Baili Hei. Qiuyue Wenzhong and Sugi Shigeki stared at the horse intently, but they had their own thoughts. The man on the horse must have been wounded, but his posture was still the same, and he refused to let go of the reins. That kind of amazing fighting spirit couldn't help but make both of them feel awe, and Qiu Yue Wen even whispered, "Sure enough, it is the Eagle of the Fat Front with both wisdom and bravery, and his bearing is extraordinary." ”

Seeing that Qiu Yuewen had the intention of personally facing the battle, one person behind him suddenly said: "Lord! "It's an Yishou from the important minister of the Akizuki family. Qiu Yue Wen nodded with a wry smile.

At this time, two stubborn and mighty young generals walked out of Qiu Yue's side, holding spears that Qiu Yue's family was proud of. Both of them painted vermilion on the spikes of spears.

"Qiuyue's family, Shenjiang Meinong, come to meet the good government."

"The Akizuki family, Ida is here!"

The two let out a hoarse shout as they stabbed their spears into the horse's head. The horse finally stopped. The man's armor on horseback shook slightly, his hand hung down weakly, and his upper body suddenly fell heavily to the right. The two took a step back, and at the same time, the man fell from his horse. Before falling off the horse, he seemed to be still free to say: "The eagle of Hizen will come to meet the shameless villain Qiuyue......"

Seeing the fall of "Zhengliang", Ida Qinyuki suddenly raised his gun and wanted to stab.

"Wait!" Qiu Yue Wenzhong stopped, "He's dead. ”

Qiu Yue Wen slowly approached the corpse, took the black eagle horse seal, and closed the deceased's wide-open eyes slightly, "It's admirable!" ”

Suddenly, there was silence all around, as if everything had stopped moving. Sugi Shigeki walked up slowly. He was actually worried that "Zhengliang" would suddenly jump up and attack everyone, so he walked up at the back of the day.

"Let's make sure, maybe it's not Hizen Eagle." Sugi Shigeki knelt down on one knee and lifted his armor with his hands.

"Huh? Who's this? When everyone saw the multi-tailed light dragon under the armor, they couldn't help but exclaim.

"That's admirable." After Qiu Yue Wenzhong confirmed that it was not Masara himself, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for the self-sacrificing savior of Tayoshi Mitsurutoshi.

Just as the crowd was in an uproar because they found out that the person they had killed was not Masahiro, the people who had jumped into the stream were nowhere to be seen. Feidan, Ahri, and Taketori Snake Ranmaru are all gone.

"Don't touch his armor, and the war horse, send them back to Luo's house." Qiu Yue said after the most sloppy language.

"It seems that everything is providential!" Toji Kenren, who also learned that Masarashi had escaped, looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Order: Leave aside the remaining Luo family's troops, and immediately go to the original camp to gather." Looking at the earth-shattering shouts of killing in the distance, the reinforcements from the Luo family had already arrived. They had completely missed a chance to kill the Hizen Eagle Luo Masaki.

He knew that at this time, he would never be able to fight against the Luo family's reinforcements who were full of anger. The enemy will be fearless to death. So the best way to avoid it is to avoid its edge for the time being. (To be continued......)
