Chapter 1048: Raiding the West Three Rivers

Regarding the delay in the response of the Amano family, Roche Nobuya, who had expected it for a long time, was naturally not dissatisfied with this. Anyway, originally Luo Nobu Liang planned to take the Amano family this year, but now it's good, the Kira family with a cramp in the head actually jumped out first, so Luo Shi Xinliang had to solve the Kira family first, and then slowly deal with the Amano family.

In this way, in the middle of January of the fourth year of Eiroku (1561 AD), when spring was about to bloom, under the call of Imagawa burial, all the wealthy families who had submitted to the Enoe-Imagawa family converged in the castle of Kamigo, which originally belonged to the Mikawa Kuniden family.

At this time, on the side of the Toe Imagawa family, there were 500 standing and 800 temporary peasant soldiers, and as for the other wealthy families who responded to the call, their combined military strength was more than 500 people, so that this time the Toe Imagawa family's expedition against the Nishimikawa Kira family had more than 2,000 people.

"The Kira family seems to be more than lucky this time." Looking at such a huge momentum of the Toe Imagawa family, many wealthy families who responded to the call seemed to see the huge Imagawa family established by Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had just died last year, and at the same time, they couldn't help but feel sad for the Kira family, this time they really touched the tiger's beard.

As the general of this expedition, Luo Shi Xinliang naturally did not know the thoughts of the wealthy clans in the army at this time, after the army was gathered, he waved his military equipment and commanded the army to enter the territory of the Kira family, and there was no resistance along the way, and he directly attacked under the city of Mulu.

"The Kira family chose to close the city, which is a bit self-aware." General Luo Xinliang pointed at Mu Lu Cheng Honmaru with the military in his hand, looked around and smiled: "It's just how long can they hold on?" ”

Judging by the information reported by the Intelligence Cabinet before. The Kira family did choose to concentrate all the forces in the territory in front of Mulu City. The attempt was to go all out to cage the city. The Kira family was arranged in this way, which just met the heart of Luo Xinliang. As long as you take the Mulu Castle in front of you, then the rest of the Kira family's already empty Tojo Castle, Saijo Castle and other castles will naturally surrender bloodlessly, so that you can quickly take all the territories of the Kira family in one fell swoop.

"Hey, Your Highness. Please let your subordinates lead people to rush and kill, maybe you can break through the gate in one fell swoop. At this time, after hearing the words of Luo Shira, who was already known as the ghost hundred martial arts and sages in Tokaido, he immediately asked for a battle with a horizontal sword.

"Okay, I wish Bai Wuxian and you a victory!"

So, with the consent of Roche Xinliang. Bai Wuxian fought as the vanguard this time, and led more than 500 people to attack the walls of Mulu City in stragglers. Mu Lu Cheng's counterattack turned out to be unexpectedly weak. Bai Wuxian bit the sword in his mouth, and grabbed the edge of the city with both hands and climbed up. I grabbed the edge of the wall in two clicks, and I climbed the wall with a hard pull of both hands.

"Ichiban City has been captured by me!" Bai Wuxian and Hao smiled and swung his sword to slash at the people who rushed up on both sides, taking away two heads with one breath, and the subsequent warriors roared up to the wall one by one. The first wall soon fell under onslaught.

Seeing this, Roshi Nogara was about to launch an all-out attack on Honmaru, but at this time, the Kira defenders lit a fire in Honmaru. So this fire instantly extinguished the last bit of resistance of the Kira family, and then they began to surrender one after another, and finally Luo Shinra quickly organized a large army into the city to extinguish the fire, and began to collect prisoners.

"The defenders of the Kira family are so incompetent?" Roche Shinra came all the way. After seeing dozens of corpses on the ground and more than 200 prisoners, he couldn't help but shake his head and said, originally he thought that there would be a tough battle to be fought. As a result, it was broken by Bai Wuxian with one blow.

"Your Highness, not everyone has formed a standing army like their own family!" Hearing this, Narimatsu Nobukatsu behind him smiled proudly and said: "Besides, these standing group leaders are all from the standing of their own family, they are experienced in a hundred battles, how can the peasant soldiers of the Jiliang family who have been gathered in a hurry be our opponents?" ”

"Be careful not to talk nonsense!" As soon as he heard that Cheng Song Xinsheng actually mentioned the information about the Luo family's own family on such an occasion, Luo Xinliang couldn't help but pay attention to the surroundings first, and found that he was surrounded by people from the Luo family, as for the Hao clan alliance that responded to the call, they retreated outside the city to rest very wisely, since there were no outsiders, he also raised his hand and gently knocked on Cheng Song Xinsheng's head to warn him.

"Hehe, Your Highness, please rest assured, Your Majesty just saw that the people nearby were all your own." After Cheng Song Nobukatsu saw Luo Shi Xinliang looking around vigilantly, he thought he knew what Luo Xin Liang was worried about, so he analyzed with a smile.

"Hmph, even so, you have to pay attention in the future." Seeing Cheng Song Nobusheng smiling, Luo Xinliang couldn't help but look pale and warned again.

"Yes!" Looking at Roche Xinliang's strict appearance, Cheng Song Xinsheng also quickly stopped smiling and hurriedly saluted in response.

"Your Highness, according to the castle guard, Kira Yoshiaki and others from the Kira family were not in the city before the war." At this time, Takahashi Shaoyun came over to report.

"Hmph, no wonder the defenders in the city are so warless." Luo Xinliang couldn't help but sneer after hearing this.

"According to the captive, the people of the Kira family such as Yoshiaki Kira were still in Mulu City, but after learning that His Highness's army was approaching Mulu City, they suddenly left in a hurry, leaving only one general to command everyone to stay." Takahashi continued to report.

"So where did those guys go?" Cheng Song Xinsheng, who was on the side, also asked strangely at this time. If they were so afraid of their own army, why did those guys from the Kira family offend their own people in the first place? At this time, Cheng Song Nobu really wanted to arrest those people from the Kira family and ask the real reason, but now that these people have run away again, Cheng Song Nobukatsu is naturally concerned about this.

"I can't know yet!" Even the captives in the city didn't know that everyone from the Kira family had suddenly run there, so Takahashi Shaoyun could only reply with a wry smile.

"Hmph, no matter where those people from the Kira family go, let's occupy the rest of the Kira family's territory first." Luo Shi Xinliang didn't bother to guess the whereabouts of Yoshiaki Kira and the others now, but immediately ordered, "Takahashi Shaoyun, Nari Matsu Nobukatsu." ”

"In!" Takahashi Shaoyun and Narimatsu Nobukatsu, who were named by Roche Nobuya, immediately responded at the same time.

"You wait for the two of you to go outside the city to divide the coalition forces of those wealthy clans in two, and then Takahashi Shaoyun is responsible for attacking Tojo Castle on the east coast of the Kira family, and Narimatsu Nobukatsu is responsible for attacking Saijo Castle, the western gateway of the Kira family at the junction with the Mizuno family and the Honshoji Temple, be careful, don't fight with the Mizuno family and the Honshoji Temple over there for the time being."

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Takahashi Shaoyun and Narimatsu Nobukatsu immediately took the order and left.

"Your Highness, why does he wait for the two of them to have a task, but his subordinates don't?" At this time, at the city gate, who learned that Takahashi Shaoyun and Narimatsu Nobukatsu had been given the task of continuing the expedition, Hyakumi Kenkan hurriedly ran in front of Roshi Nobuya and complained.

"What nonsense? Who says you don't have a mission? Seeing this, Luo Xinliang immediately scolded.

"Huh? That...... What is the task of His Majesty? After learning that he also had a mission, Bai Wuxian immediately asked cautiously.

"Hmph, the territory near Mulu City where we are located borders the Matsudaira family, although we have signed a non-aggression agreement with the Matsudaira family, but this is only temporary, and when the Kira family's territory is currently so chaotic and empty, it is difficult to ensure that the Matsudaira family will come out to snatch the fruits of our battle." Luo Xinliang then said.

"What? Matsudaira Motoyasu, that guy still has that guts? Bai Wuxian was immediately a little annoyed when he heard this, and then scolded.

"Alright, shut up!" Luo Xinliang slammed the military allocation in his hand on Bai Wuxian's head, and the latter immediately quieted down.

"Listen, you are now rushing to the junction with the Matsudaira family with a hundred people, and once you find out that the army of the Matsudaira family has entered the territory of the Kira family, immediately let it go back in the name of the Imagawa family, but remember, don't enter the territory of the Matsudaira family and take the initiative to cause trouble." Roche Shinliang finally commanded.

"Yes." Bai Wuxian was immediately overjoyed, and then pulled out an army of 100 people from the city and rushed to the junction of the Kira family and the Matsudaira family's territory.

"I hope that everything will be smooth." Luo Shi Xinliang looked at the departing army and secretly hoped for it.
