In the city of Isshiki.

All the samurai, soldiers, and their families opened their eyes at the same time.

Including the maids and servants, they were all relatively calm.

The Warring States period has just ended. And before that, the Isshiki family was attacked countless times. War is all too commonplace.

"Aso. Fetch my armor and weapons. "The genealogy of the Isshiki family, Oda Motoaki, who has two hundred stones for generations, pushed away his wife in his arms and sat up, shouting.

"Yes." The servant named Aso immediately answered and took someone to get armor and weapons.

Soon after, Oda Motoaki was fully dressed, armed with a Fuso spear, and two of his own retainers prepared to go to the castle to fight.

That's when it happened. Motoaki Oda heard a cacophony of voices.

"It's on fire. Fire. Nimaru is on fire. ”

"Fight the fire."

"What ?!!!!" Oda Motoaki looked at the burning building in amazement, and in the blink of an eye, the fire had spread.

on the city walls.

The retainer of the Isshiki family, Masao Kuda, led the alert troops and engaged in a fierce battle with the Han army.

"Don't panic. This is Isshiki Castle. We have a standing army of 1,000 men. At critical moments, female dependents can also take up arms to fight. Even if the strength of the Han army is as high as 10,000 people. We can hold on too. ”

Masao Kurota shouted as he fought.

"Poof". An arrow hit Masao Sada in the left shoulder. The arrow was heavy, and the arrow pierced through the armor, and the pain in his heart made him let out a muffled snort.

"Bastard." Masao Stubborna shouted, reached out and broke the arrow, raised the katana in his hand, and shouted, "Hold on." ”

Masao Stubborn is right, according to the normal situation. In this way, there is a standing army of 1,000, and the female dependents can also go to the mountain city at critical moments. Even with 10,000 troops, it is difficult to break through in one day.

And as long as the city cannot be breached in a short time, reinforcements can arrive.

But not this time.

"Da-da-da-da." The governor of the Isshiki family, the little surname of Ichishiki Kenichi was wearing armor, and trotted in front of Masao Stubborn, and his face was solemn: "Lord Masao." Heihachiro Yamamoto, a retainer, led his troops to rebel and set fire to the city. ”

The lord ordered. The whole army retreated. Leave the castle immediately. ”

"What ?!!!!" Masao Stubborn was dumbfounded. I was about to fight hard, and the lord ordered a retreat?

The raging fire of anger made Masao Stubbornda's breathing disordered, and the wheezing sound gradually became thicker.

"Damn Heihachiro Yamamoto, disloyal and unrighteous." After scolding, Masao Stubborna immediately shouted, "Retreat, retreat." ”

Under the order of Isshiki Gaoguang, the retainers of the Isshiki family led the soldiers and female dependents to retreat in an orderly manner.

Skillful is distressing.

During the Warring States period, the castle was attacked countless times. And defending the city is not necessarily winning. Preserve the vitality in order to make a comeback.

It was also the daily operation of the Sengoku daimyō.

The Isshiki family has lost Isshiki Castle several times, but will soon be able to return to Isshiki Castle.

With the Isshiki family withdrawing from Isshiki Castle, the fighting soon stopped.

Standing on the stone, watching the battle, Lu Liuliang listened to the sound of killing that gradually stopped in his ears, and couldn't help but exhale, with a smile on his face.

Fighter.

It's a fighter.

The portal has been opened. The Han army can go deep into the country of Harima.

Although the battle stopped, for the sake of safety, Lu Liuliang did not enter the castle immediately and waited for the Han soldiers to take full control of the castle.

"The order goes down. Protect the granary first. Lu Liuliang did not forget the military rations, and turned his head to order to his own soldiers.

"Yes." The soldiers answered, and immediately went down to give the order.

At this moment, the retainer of the Isshiki family, the governor of the Yamamoto family, Heihachiro Yamamoto, led two entourages, under the supervision of a team of Han soldiers, to Lu Liuliang.

"General Lu. Under is Heihachiro Yamamoto. Heihachiro Yamamoto bowed, humble and a little flattering.

Lu Liuliang looked at him carefully, he looked like he was in his forties, with a mediocre appearance and a short stature, but the armor on his body was very gorgeous.

In Lu Liuliang's heart, he despised Heihachiro Yamamoto very much. But in this battle, Heihachiro Yamamoto was a great hero.

He maintained respect on his face, and returned the salute with a fist to Heihachiro Yamamoto, "Mr. Yamamoto." Then he said: "This time in the battle of Isshiki City, Mr. has made great contributions. I will repay the merit of Mr. 1510 to the King of Han. The Han king's rewards and punishments are clear, and there must be many rewards. ”

"Thank you, General Lu." Heihachiro Yamamoto and two entourage, showing joy, bent down and saluted.

The samurai believed in loyalty.

But there is also a tradition of going down to the gram.

During the Warring States Period, there were also many retainers who betrayed their lord. Heihachiro Yamamoto doesn't have any psychological burden on betraying Isshiki.

And he was very happy to be able to sell the highlight at a good price.

Lu Liuliang continued to wait for the soldiers to take control of the city, and when he had nothing to do, he chatted with Heihachiro Yamamoto and learned about the entourage around Heihachiro Yamamoto.

One is his eldest son, Shimizu.

One is a member of the Yamamoto family, named Baohui.

Seeing that Lu Liuliang had a friendly attitude, Heihachiro Yamamoto took the opportunity to ask to join the Han army. Although he betrayed the lord, it was only a one-shot deal.

Serving in the army is a martial tradition that cannot be discarded.

Lu Liuliang did not refuse, but just threw the problem to Wu Nian. Said that the king of Han will arrange it.

That's when it happened. A hundred households under Lu Liuliang rushed over, and after standing still, he raised his head and said with a solemn face: "General." The granaries and warehouses are basically empty. ”

"No way. Just after the autumn harvest, the granary is full. Heihachiro Yamamoto's face changed, and he shook his head and said loudly.

Lu Liuliang's complexion changed slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Could it be ?!!!!!

"Immediately the whole army entered the city. Send someone on guard. Lu Liuliang shouted, and then jumped down from the big stone and headed towards Isshiki City.

"General. Wait for us. Heihachiro Yamamoto also realized the problem and shouted profusely.

"Take Heihachiro Yamamoto's family under control." Lu Liuliang turned his head to a pro-soldier and said.

"Is the general suspicious of Heihachiro Yamamoto's design?" The pro-soldier asked subconsciously.

"Nope. Heihachiro Yamamoto is just a pawn. His actions are completely sincere, which is why they appear to be genuine. The man who manipulated him was a highlight. No. Probably Toyotomi Daikichi himself. ”

But he may betray again. And. If I'm not bad as expected. We have fallen into the trap. In the nearby area, there are many troops in ambush. Next. We're going to get into a tough battle. ”

"Heihachiro Yamamoto also has the samurai and soldiers of the Yamamoto family, which are also considered combat power. Take control of their families and let them stand on the head of the city and defend it. ”

Lu Liuliang shook his head and said with a solemn face.

"Yes." The soldiers suddenly went down in response.

"Damn it. Hopefully my guess is wrong. But. The retreat of the Isshiki family was extremely hurried, and it was impossible to take the materials in the granary and treasury with them. It can only be said that it was emptied in advance. ”

"One color highlight, I already knew that I would be attacked."

"If there is no Fuso army in this vicinity, there is an ambush. I don't believe it. ”

Lu Liuliang scolded.

Fighters turn into traps.

The bad stuff can't be repeated.
