When Masarashi received the news that Tao Takafang had been hit by Mori Motosa's counter-plot and destroyed the Eira clan with his left arm and right arm, he had already led a large army to arrive at the castle of Kameikoshi Castle, the gateway of the Otomo family in Ami-gun.

In the process of the march of the army, it once encountered Oishi Castle and Koya Castle, both of which were temporarily established by the Otomo family on the coast of Beppu Bay in the past two years for early warning purposes, and there were not many defenders themselves, so under the crowd tactics of the Luo family, these two castles were quickly taken down. Subsequently, the army finally arrived at the city of Lumingyue.

Located at the junction of Awami County and Kunisto County in Bungo Province, Lumei Eze Castle has always been an important town under the direct jurisdiction of the Otomo family, and now it is an important town for the Otomo family against the Luo family because it is surrounded by mountains to the northwest, the castle mountain area facing Awami gun to the southwest, the sea surface of Beppu Bay to the southeast line, and the flat land leading to Kunisaki-gun to the northeast. Not only is the city wall strong, but it also has a large amount of supplies stored inside, which is fully capable of dealing with the big battle with the Luo family.

After Otomo Yoshijin succeeded to the position of family governor, in order to express his confidence in returning to the old land of Bungo Province to the retainers of the Otomo family, Otomo Yoshijin even chose this castle as his residence. This time, it was when he learned that Otomo Yoshizhen, who was the governor of the family, was inspecting the territory of the Yoshixian family in Kunisaki County to appease the local wealthy clans, that Masayo suddenly went to this place. In Zhengliang's view, after the lack of the governor, the city's combat effectiveness will definitely be affected. However, after the siege was carried out, Masashi found that his judgment was wrong.

"Kill ......"

Above the head of the city, with a loud shout, a cracking sound pierced the air. The tip of the white knife stabbed in and out as if something had been stirred. How did a life that was originally alive disappear from this worldly realm? In the next moment, the young man with the white sword in his hand galloped away in another direction. This person is none other than the fierce general of the Otomo family, Tian Bei Zhenzhou.

Tian Beizhen Zhou no longer knew that this was the first Luo family he had killed, but he could see the price of killing the enemy from his original brand-new Tai Dao, because at this time it had already appeared several gaps, although he had used the tip of the knife very carefully to kill the enemy, but it was inevitable that there would be no accidents.

"Ha Luha, well killed!" In the distance, sitting in the rear, as the commander of the city, the Usuki Jiansu Da said with a smile. Seeing such a brave and murderous soldier of the Luo family who climbed on the city wall, the ghost cried wolf. And the surrounding Otomo soldiers were even more encouraged, and they howled and killed the enemy who was besieging the city, and Usuki was naturally very happy.

The siege soldiers of the Luo family, who had been greatly hit, were already disheartened and had no fighting spirit at this time, and they did not have an advantage in numbers above the city, and the defenders were so strong, how could they continue to fight?

"Order the siege troops to collect their troops." After seeing the situation above the head of the city in the main camp outside the city, the political conscience and conscience said that this siege ended in failure again.

This is already the tenth day of the continuous siege of the city by the army of Masaliang. At the beginning, when he had just marched out of the battle against Shikamei Etsu Castle, Masarashi received the news that Kinoshita Masanao's Third Route Army had attacked Ichinoto Castle; Immediately afterwards, when he led the army to attack the castle of Luming, the Sixth Route Army where Murakami Takeyoshi was located took the opportunity to attack the territory of the Tahara family and the Fulai family; Subsequently. When Masarashi commanded the army to continue Luming Yuecheng, he also learned that the First Route Army was attacking Kamimo-gun in Toshimae Province. The Fourth Route Army has besieged the Dragon King Castle of the Usa-Onomiya Clan of Toyozen Province.

And at this time, Masato also realized that this time the siege of Luming Yuecheng might not be so easy. In order to resist the attack of the Luo family, as the remaining guards, the Usuki Jiansu and Tianbei Zhenzhou not only directly blocked the gate of Luming Yuecheng with sand and gravel, but also raised a large number of wood, stones, bricks and tiles and other defensive weapons in the city by demolishing houses. More importantly, at this time, in the city of Lumingyue, a large number of more than 600 troops of the most elite of the Otomo family, mainly samurai, were gathered.

In these ten days, even if the Luo family used siege weapons such as cloud ladders, iron cannons, large barrels, flying fire meteors, and even gunpowder packs at the same time, it was only the outer pill that captured the city of Luming Yuecheng, and the wall of Ninomaru of Luming Yuecheng was even steeper and taller, making the Luo family's army even more difficult to overcome. Due to the limitation of the narrow terrain, the Luo family could not give full play to the numerical advantage, but instead allowed the defenders to concentrate their forces for defense, so this siege battle was almost a life-for-life war.

And as time goes on, it looks like we're about to enter the depths of winter. However, the deep winter season is very unsuitable for combat, not only does it cost more military supplies for this, but also during the battle, the soldiers are also easily injured and further frostbitten due to injuries, which then causes more damage. It is estimated that the mortar Jiansu and Tianbei Zhenzhou in Lumingyue City hope to delay time as much as possible, so that the Luo family's army will take the initiative to retreat because of the cold winter.

However, Usuki Jiansu and Tianbei Zhenzhou underestimated Masayo's determination to take the southeastern part of Fengsae Province and the northeastern part of Bungo Province this time. Long before the original departure, Masato asked the Interior Pavilion to prepare a large number of winter supplies. Among these materials, especially the newly created cotton clothes from the Roche textile workshop attracted the most attention. With the guarantee of these materials, Zhengliang believes that the army of the Luo family will definitely be able to survive this winter in the battle. Of course, he still hopes to make progress in this strategy as soon as possible, after all, after seeing the news of the Western Kingdom, Masahiro has realized that the opportunity for the Luo family to develop rapidly again is coming again.

Just when the political conscience was a little anxious, the town of Otomo Yoshi, which was far away in the coastal Takata Castle of Zhoufangtan, Kokuto County, Bungo Province, was also a little anxious. After receiving the news of the invasion of Ami-gun by the Luo family's army in Takada Castle, Otomo Yoshijin realized that the Luo family's sudden appearance during the drought period was probably different from the harassment in the past. So he immediately issued an order to the wealthy clans of the Otomo family to go to support Ami-gun, and at the same time began to rush to Luming Etsujo Castle in Ami-gun.

It's just that to his surprise, not long after leaving Takada City, when his team was climbing the mountain road from Takada City to Jiaowei City, they were attacked by a large unknown army. Fortunately, Otomo Yoshizhen has always maintained enough vigilance after the attack on Ouchi's house, and he has enough guards with him, so this time he was able to escape back to Takada Castle.

In order to ensure his safety after that, he had to wait there for the Yoshistring family and the nearby Takedatsu family to join up with reinforcements from the nearby Takedatsu family to support Ami-gun, and then rush to Shikamei-echijo Castle in Ami-gun under their escort. Such a delay made him have to be anxious. (To be continued......)
