Chapter 1019 - Lifting Stones

It's already a little hot in June, and summer is already here, but the cherry blossoms from the ancient Ming Kingdom are still in full bloom.

Imagawa Ieokabe Motonobu's expedition to Imagawa Burial Zero in Enoe came in a hurry, and it was unimaginable to go. In the cage battle of Zawang Castle for one day and one night, the army of Imagawa Ieokabe Motonobu fell into a rout in an instant.

Originally, after the defeat of Okabe Motoshin during the day, and after being attacked by Roche Nobuna at night, he was determined to take advantage of the late night to carry out a sneak attack on the royal city to take the royal castle in one fell swoop, but this plan was seen through by Roche Shinra in the city early, and everyone in the royal city was not only waiting for the arrival of Okabe Motoshin's sneak attack army, but also secretly sent a part of the defenders in the city, under the command of the military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke, ambushed nearby.

As a result, when the sneak attack was severely attacked and caused chaos in Okabe Motonobu's army, Roshi Nobuya quickly united with the army of Yamamoto Kansuke, who had been ambushed outside the city, and jointly oppressed Okabe Motonobu's army, so the Imagawa family's Okabe Motonobu's army fell into a rout.

Speaking of which, Okabe Motonobu's previous series of actions also lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot. Because he connived at his soldiers to harass the villages near his camp in the evening, the local people hated his army very much, so even if someone accidentally discovered Yamamoto Kansuke's army nearby, no one went to Okabe Motonobu's camp to report the news, and what is even more ridiculous is that when the army led by Luo Shi Shinra, Imagawa Fury, and Yamamoto Kansuke took the opportunity to pursue the rout of Okabe Motonobu, these nearby lords even took the initiative to join the army of the Luo family and became the helpers of the rout army pursuing Okabe Motonobu.

And the second thing that Okabe Motoshin lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot was after hearing rumors. Fearing that the local wealthy clans of Yuanjiang Kingdom would rebel. So he simply sent these wealthy families home. However, most of the troops in their family were forcibly disbanded and returned to the territory, so the defense of these local tycoons was very empty at this time, and the most prominent of them was Kagawa Castle, the residence of the Asahina family, which had previously resisted the attack of the Rashi Shinra.

This time, under the pursuit of Roche Nobuya's army, not only drove Okabe Motonobu's army to continue to disperse, making Okabe Motoshin unable to gather the rout, but also ordered Roche Nobuya's army to take the opportunity to rush into Kagawa Castle in one fell swoop and take the city. He even captured many members of the Asahina family.

In the constant pursuit of Roshi Nobora and others, and the fact that the local nobles happened to be in a state of emptiness, in the unbelievable mood of Roshi Nobuya and others, they kept chasing after the rout of Okabe Motonobu, and then took down the castles of the eastern Enie Province such as Takatenjin Castle, Shinno Castle, Oyama Castle, and Suwahara Castle in one fell swoop, until they finally came to a halt when they came to the west bank of the Oi River, which separated Enie Province from Suruga Province.

As for Okabe Motonobu himself, he escaped with his life, and after fleeing to the east bank of the Oi River and learning that the pursuers behind him had stopped pursuing, he was able to have the opportunity to gather the rout troops who had also fled to the east bank of the Oi River. In the end, an army of less than 1,000 men was temporarily formed and temporarily stationed on the east bank of the Oi River. In case the army of Roche Nobuya on the west bank took the opportunity to attack Suruga Province.

On the other hand, the side of Roshi Nobora and Imagawa Burial Zero was due to their limited local foundations, so they also needed to spend some time consolidating the Warring States they had obtained this time, so they left their large army at Suwahara Castle and Koyama Castle on the west bank of the Oi River to guard against the counterattack of the enemy army on the other side.

As the two sides confronted each other on both sides of the Oi River, the war that was later known as the Battle of the Imperial Castle finally came to an end. Okabe Motonobu's defeated army was hunted down all over the mountains, and the blood spread from the castle to the banks of the Oi River, and the daimyo of Imagawa Fuji resounded in more distant places such as Enoe Province, Mikawa Province, Suruga Province, and even Owari Province. At this point, with the secret help of the Luo family, Imagawa Burial Zero finally gained an advantage in the battle for the governor of the Imagawa family.

"Young master, the head has been inspected late, and a total of two thousand four hundred and eighty-six people have been obtained, including thirty-six samurai from the Imagawa family." Kansuke Yamamoto holds a ledger and reports to Roche Shinrashi.

After the war, the Luo family began to inspect the heads on the spot and give the generals a meritorious service. However, the first rank is only used in the conscription of Ashigaru. The people under Luo Shinliang did not judge the merits by the first rank, but broke the formation at the top and the head at the bottom, so everyone had a lot of rewards, not only in the future in the local area of Yuanjiang Province, but also their family in Kyushu will also get a lot of benefits.

After hearing this, Luo Shishunra said calmly: "Build a Kyoto temple on the bank of the Oi River to intimidate the enemy. As for the corpses of those samurai, I would like to arrange for someone to send them to the east bank of the Oi River. ”

With this great victory, he believed that the Imagawa family, who had always supported the Imagawa clan, would inevitably change, and the situation would inevitably develop in the direction he wanted. As long as Imagawa Burial Zero can gradually control Enoe Province and continue to defeat Imagawa Clan, then for the unification of the Imagawa family in Suruga Province, Enoe Province, and even Mikawa Province in the future, some retainers will inevitably turn to support Imagawa Burial Zero, which will lead to two factions within the Imagawa family, one faction supporting Imagawa Clan, and the other faction Imagawa Burial Zero. It was precisely because of this consideration that Nobuya ordered the corpses of the samurai of various wealthy clans to be returned to the other side of the Oigawa River, so as to show favor to those retainers of the Imagawa family.

This big victory also caused those local wealthy clans in Yuanjiang and Sanhe who had been defeated by the Luo family's army and occupied the territory and city, and became prisoners, all surrendered to the beginning, at least at this time, Luo Xinliang's hands had received more than ten such surrender letters.

"Once you lose power, you will dissipate with the wind, and the Warring States period is really a cruel era" After reading these letters, Luo Shixinliang felt Pengbai, he suddenly decided that it was very correct for him to take the initiative to apply here this time, so in order to vent the passion in his heart, he took out the treasure knife sent by his father Zhengliang and cut it in the military tent to practice martial arts.

"No coming, no death, no clouds, no clear sky tonight, the moon and the sky are exceptionally bright." The moonlight and the sword light echoed each other, and every step of the young man in armor was like a sacrificial dance, revealing a trace of rhythm, and his calm but resolute face showed his inner firmness.
