Chapter Eighty-Seven: Defeat
Seeing that the rebels were repelled by Ao Xingfeng alone, Ito Yoshisuke was deeply shocked, although he had heard that Ao Xingfeng's martial arts were rumored to be a martial god, but what he heard was completely different from what he saw in person, and now not only the soldiers, but even Ito Yoshisuke himself was a little timid.

And the army under Ao Xingfeng, seeing Ao Xingfeng so majestic, the morale reached an unprecedented high, and Ito's soldiers were defeated and retreated.
"Hiromoto, withdraw!" Ito Yoshisuke couldn't salvage his morale, and then roared and rode away, but Shimazu's soldiers had already surrounded him.
"Rest hurting my lord!" Kodama Hiromoto burst out with unprecedented strength, and shook off Asagi with his mother's clothes, and slammed straight into the battle formation formed by Ashigaru, tearing a rift.
"Lord, let's go, I'll break off!" Kodama Hiromoto did not leave with Ito Yoshisuke, because Chaojian was following behind him, and this matter could not be good, but Ito Yoshisuke took a deep look at Hiromoto, knowing that now was not the time to be hypocritical.
With a whip of the horse, he fled towards the rift that was torn open by Guangyuan, and said to Guangyuan before leaving: "I wish you good luck and prosperity." ā
"Where to go!" Chao Jian let such a good opportunity slip away from his hand in vain, and chased after him with more than a hundred people.
"Your opponent is me!" This time, Kodama Guangyuan did not choose to fly a kite with Chaojian, but took the initiative to meet him.
The evacuation of Yoshisuke Ito announced that the winner of this war was Ao Xingfeng, although it is a pity that Yoshisuke Ito could not be left, but as long as Guangyuan and the group of mothers can be left here, then the victory of this battle will be raised to the limit, without the elite troops, the fate of the destruction of the Ito family will not change, of course, even if there are elite troops, it is just to be able to survive for a few more days.
"Everyone surround all the cavalry of the Ito family!" Ao Xingfeng, who rushed back to the battlefield, roared, and the tired soldiers formed a large net to surround Guangyuan and his 83 mother-clothed people.
"Surrender!" Ao Xingfeng said.
"Surrender?" Guangyuan asked rhetorically, and then jumped off the pony.
"This battle Ao Xing Feng Gong won beautifully, as a loser I am convinced, but please Ao Xing Feng Gong can let me die in the way of a samurai. Kodama Hiromoto said.
Looking at Kodama Guangyuan's sincere eyes, Ao Xingfeng nodded: "Yes." ā
With a sense of curiosity, Ao Xingfeng stood aside and watched, and Kodama Guangyuan changed into a white costume and knelt on the cloth.
A soldier walked over with a tray on which a short knife wrapped in cloth was carried on it.
Unlike the seppuku that Ao Xingfeng had heard, Kodama Hiromoto did not mind the wrong person.
Kodama Hiromoto took out the short knife in the tray with a serious face, then took off his shirt and clenched the short knife with both hands.
"Ahh
"Beautiful!" Tanegashima Asakin said with sincere appreciation, although he was an enemy, Kodama Hiromoto's backbone was obvious to all, and there was not a single attendant present who was not impressed by Kodama Hiromoto's courage.
Ao Xingfeng was a little dumbfounded, he couldn't imagine that these little Japan were even more perverted than himself, and he actually praised him for cutting it beautifully?
"Let's bury it. After speaking, Ao Xing left without looking back.
After resting for a few hours, Ao Xingfeng took all his soldiers and headed towards Higo Castle of the Ito family.
Ito Yoshisuke, who had just returned to Higo Castle, was inexplicably uneasy, there were not many troops left in Higo Castle, except for the samurai retainers, there was only a group of bowshigaru and a group of peasant levies.
The news of Yoshisuke Ito's defeat spread throughout the castle under the black clouds outside Higo Castle, and many civilians saw the embarrassed side of Yoshisuke Ito when he fled, and heard that the army of the Shimazu family was marching towards here, and there was not a single pedestrian on the street, and all the civilians were hiding in their homes.
Yoshisuke Ito stood on the balcony of the castle tower worriedly, looking in the direction of Osumi Castle, his fists clenched, Kodama Hiromoto has not come back yet, I'm afraid they have all died in battle, right?
"Father. A young girl in a kimono entered the room and called out as she knelt on the ground.
"What's the matter?" asked Yoshisuke Ito.
"Father, I'm worried about the Shimazu family's army, and the little girl is willing to agree to the Sagara family's request, so the Sagara family should be able to send reinforcements to help us, right?" said Tomoko Ito.
"Alas, Tomoko, how can I, as a father, sacrifice you to protect myself. Ito Yoshisuke looked at his beloved daughter with doting, maybe he was really not suitable to be a daimyo, right?
"Please don't think so, Father, because now this world must use everything that can be used, so I'm going to send someone to Sagara's house and ask them to send reinforcements. After saying that, Tomoko Ito was about to get up and leave.
"Sit down for me! It's too late to do anything, and the Shimazu family is already on their way. Ito Yoshisuke sat down on the ground and thought, "Tomoko, why did God give you a daughter? If you were a strong man, you would have achieved a certain amount of success compared to such a rock." ā
"What? The strength of the Shimazu family should not be much stronger than our Ito family, this is just a battle, who are they from there?" said Ito Tomoko in surprise.
"The Shimazu family has a strong family leader, and if they are given enough time, they should be able to compete with each other. Yoshisuke Ito said thoughtfully.
Tomoko Ito recalled rumors about the head of the Shimazu family, rumored to be six feet five tall, born with divine powers, and a super genius in swordsmanship, rumored to have several swordsmen to ask for advice, but none of them could pass three moves from his subordinates, so you can imagine how strong the swordsmanship of this Shimazu family master is.
"Are the rumors true?" asked Tomoko Ito.
Yoshisuke Ito nodded and said, "He is indeed about six feet five tall, and no one can survive a single move under his men, he made a big sword, and even single-handedly repelled hundreds of rebels. ā
"How is that possible?" Tomoko Ito exclaimed in a low voice, with one enemy and a hundred enemies, it is an existence that only appears in legends, right? Is there really such a person in reality? Ito Tomoko was skeptical, but seeing that what Yoshisuke Ito said did not look like a lie, Ito Tomoko became curious.
"Alas. Yoshisuke Ito sighed and returned to the balcony, looking into the distance with worried eyes.
It was a banner that appeared in Yoshisuke Ito's eyes, and the family crest was a cross in a white circle.
