Faced with the shouting questions of the guards of the city, the people at the head of the city first smiled miserably, and then said to the city in a hoarse voice:

"It's miserable, it's really miserable! We waited with the lord to intercept each other at the river beach, but the other party was so powerful that those feathered arrows shot down like rain, and those weapons that could make terrible noises, always made our people fall suddenly, and we were quickly defeated. Speaking of this, as if these words caused a terrifying memory of the few people who could still stand next to them, they all began to cry.

"Then they quickly crossed the river on a raft and began to chase us. The adults saw it, and I was chased and killed all the way, and many people died, and I escaped after I happened to hide in a dense forest, and then escaped while it was dark, and then I rushed here. The man below continued.

"Lord...... What's wrong with the lord? Shogun Matagoro asked in a nervous voice. The guards who were also listening around also panicked at this time, the enemy actually routed their own troops directly across the bank, and then crossed the river to attack their own army? It's horrible. And the weapon that made a loud noise, which seemed they had heard it this morning. It can be heard from so far away, what kind of terrible weapon is that? For a while, everyone in the city looked at each other and became worried.

"I was scattered by the pursuers behind me on the way to escape, and the lord seemed to have run to the nearest high city to the battlefield, by the way, in the evening. I'll see black smoke burning from the high side. All afternoon. The sound of those terrifying weapons was also heard from the side of Gaocheng, and the enemy must be storming Gaocheng. The man below immediately replied.

"Huh? It was those voices. The soldiers above were now sure that the terrible weapon they had been using to defeat them was the one they had heard in the morning, for they had heard it all afternoon, and in retrospect, it was indeed the same as the one they had heard in the morning.

"Shut up!" Seeing that the discussion of the guards was getting louder and louder, Matagoro, who was worried that the guards would collapse without a fight, had to shout to stop.

"My lord, please open the door quickly. These adults are the most seriously injured, and they are dying. There are still a lot of wounded people in the back, and if they are not treated, they will die soon. The leader below shouted again.

"Open the gates!" It has been determined that the few people who fell to the ground are several pro-soldiers who are also Shiga relatives like him, and the description of the people under the castle is not bad with the information that was secretly reported to him separately after the return of the detective in the afternoon (in fact, the rout of the lord of the family and the news of the siege of Gaocheng, Matagoro has long known about it, so he also sent people to several nearby wealthy clans to ask for help), and Matagoro decisively made the decision to open the city gate.

Subsequently, under the command of Matagoro, the defeated troops outside the city walked into the city one after another. Then he deliberately went to check on the people who had entered the city. It was found that most of the injured were familiar people, although they were all seriously injured and unconscious. But his heart was now completely convinced that these people who came in were the people led by his lord (after all, the territory of the Kita-Shiga family was also quite large, and there were many villages, and the military strength of the Kita-Shiga family was not all known to each other except for those samurai, and as a high-ranking samurai, the general peasant soldiers did not know each other, and as a high-ranking samurai, they were not familiar with all the peasant soldiers).

"My lord, there is urgent information to report separately." Just when the people outside the city had almost entered the city, the original leaders of these routs suddenly walked over cautiously and said.

"Hmm." When Rangoro heard this, he motioned for the two peasant soldiers beside him to go a little farther away to go on guard, and then he stood there waiting for the report from the visitor.

"My lord, this is the lord'......" said in a low voice as he put his hand into his arms.

"Huh?" Hearing the other party say about the lord, Goro was immediately surprised, obviously he thought that the next thing that came must have something to do with his lord Shiga kin.

The lord said...... Let you die! Just as Matagoro was about to listen carefully, the visitor suddenly smiled and took out a dagger from his bosom (the Luo family's workshop was specially built in imitation of the style provided by Masaara, which is actually an artifact for self-defense), and directly plunged it into Yougoro's abdomen.

"Ahh When he saw that the expression on the other party's face suddenly became hideous, he realized that something was wrong, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, and then screamed.

"Kill!"

When Matagoro's screams rang out, the routs who had already entered the city suddenly took up their weapons and attacked the surrounding defenders, and even among the wounded soldiers who were originally "unconscious", some of them suddenly jumped up and began to join the attack queue.

"Kill!" At this time, a group of "routs" who were walking to the city gate also suddenly attacked the soldiers of the Kita-Shiga family guarding the city gate, and then occupied the city gate. At the same time, a large group of black shadows suddenly turned out of the woods and grass outside the city, and rushed directly towards the open city gate.

"Enemy attack!"

The soldiers defending the city finally realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted a warning. The defenders in the city, who had already rested, immediately picked up their weapons and rushed out, killing the Luo family's sneak attack.

It's just that most of the troops in the Luo family's sneak attack this time are the cloaks and samurai under the command of Zhengliang, and the combat effectiveness is almost two or three of these untrained peasant soldiers who defend the city, and at this time, the city defender will be killed in advance, so after a fierce battle, Gangcheng finally fell into the hands of the Luo family. Since the city gate was occupied by the Luo family from the beginning, the defenders in the city suddenly became a turtle in the urn, and not a single defender could escape from the city.

"Quickly, pack up the city, and take the prisoners to their cells, while the other party's banner is still hanging on the city. The wounded of the family should be treated in a timely manner with the temporary medical kits provided by the logistics team. After confirming that the castle was completely controlled, the main general of this sneak attack, Takasaka Masanobu, immediately ordered.

Masanobu Takasaka was also temporarily assigned this task by Masato after crossing the river and arriving on the east bank of the Ono River today. In order to win the trust of the soldiers defending the castle and avoid being identified by the other wealthy clans on the way, Takasaka Masanobu and others directly stripped off all the clothes and equipment of the dead and wounded soldiers of the Kita-Shiga family who had been left on the east bank of the Ono River by Shiga himself, and then directly put them on themselves.

Moreover, they also took the soldiers of the Kita-Shiga family who were about to die or were seriously injured and unconscious, pretending to be the rout of the Kita-Shiga family who had fled from the city, and then they were chased and killed by the army of the Luo family in the afternoon, and finally arrived in front of the city in the evening according to Masaliang's instructions. Now that he has completed the task of the lord and the government, he naturally wants to completely control the fruits of victory immediately.

"My lord, a mile outside the city, I found a troop of troops rushing towards this place with torches."

At this moment, a Black Hawk who was in charge of monitoring the rear of the sneak attack team hurriedly ran into the city to report.

"What? Could it be reinforcements? Takasaka Masanobu exclaimed. That's too fast, right? The other party's reinforcements came just after the city was conquered, but fortunately their hands and feet were fast enough. It's just that how did the other party know that there was an attack here?

"Attention, prepare for the battle immediately." (To be continued......)
