Warring States Eagle

"Aim! Get ready... release...!" In the woods on the side of Gaoliang Mountain, Andel shouted loudly.

"Bang, bang, bang..." The iron cannon rang out one after another.

"This is the strange weapon of the Luo family that can make a loud noise?" At this moment, Shiga Omori finally realized who he was being attacked by.A few months ago, the Otomo family acquired several such weapons that the Roche family sold to merchants in Sakaimachi through several channels.At that time, Otomo Yoshikami had recruited all the retainers of Otomo's family to try out these weapons on the spot.

Although these weapons are loud, their power is limited.After realizing this problem, he immediately waved his samurai sword and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, kill them, these things are not scary..."

"Puff!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, the voice stopped abruptly, and then fell off the horse with a "plop".

Before he died, he was still wondering, he had clearly seen the power of these loud weapons before, it was really not that powerful, but why was I still shot?

Shiga's death was unjust enough, what he saw before was nothing but Huotong deliberately sold by Zheng Liang, and these Huotong were still defective products that the Luo family didn't use, so their power was naturally inferior.He actually preconceivedly judged the muskets in the Luo family's iron artillery team based on the power of the fire system he saw at Dayou's house, which was naturally a tragedy.

What's more, not only did he wear the most shining large armor in the entire vanguard today, he was even waving a samurai sword and shouting loudly.For the soldiers of the Luo family who adhered to the principle of "kill the thief first, kill the king", the guard of Shiga at this time was like shouting "come and kill me, come and kill me" in the crowd.So he naturally became the concentrated attack target of the Luo family's ambush troops.

Compared to Shiga Omori's unlucky.Dashen Zhenzheng, who was the deputy general, was much luckier.Because it has been expected that Yoshikami Otomo will take the opportunity to suppress the Ogami's family.So for this expedition, the Dashen family only sent Dashen Zhenzheng, who was close to the Dayou family at home, and the weapons equipped for Dashen Zhenzheng were extremely simple, not to mention the soldiers, they were all old and weak soldiers.

It was also because of this that Ander could see at a glance that the army of the Ogami's family had no combat power, so instead he focused his attack on the Shiga family's army in the second half of the team.In this way, everyone in the Great God's family escaped unharmed.

Even more ridiculous.Before Kinoshita Masao and others, who were attracting the attention of the Otomo family's first-handed army, began to cooperate with the iron artillery team in the forest to attack from the front, the Ogami's army in the front half of the team began to collapse.This made Masao Kinoshita and others, who had been holding back their energy for a long time, so angry that their seven orifices were smoking.

The main general was shot, and the deputy general took the lead to flee with his own troops. After the remaining Shiga family resisted for a while, they also fled in a hurry, leaving behind corpses, wounded soldiers and even Shiga's own body.

"Take away all the slightly wounded and uninjured prisoners, and take away all the weapons and horses." Masao Kinoshita, the general of Luo's family servant who didn't even shoot a single shot, said looking at the messy battlefield.

The slightly injured and uninjured captives would naturally become slaves of the Luo family.If they are lucky, they can perform well in the slave team, obtain the status of the Luo family leader in advance, and then live again in the Luo family territory.Slowly waiting for the day when their hometown becomes the territory of the Luo family, they can reunite with their families.Or he directly wrote a letter asking his family to relocate to the Luo family's territory on their own.

If you're unlucky.It is estimated that he will die in the Luo family's territory, and has lost contact with his family since then.War is always about cruelty.

As for the seriously wounded and dead enemy troops, their luck is both lucky and unfortunate.Fortunately, they will be left to the Otomo's Honjin who are about to arrive, thus avoiding the fate of becoming prisoners of the Luo family.But these people will increase the food and medicine burden of Otomo's family, and will further damage their morale, so their fate will depend on Otomo's family.

"My lord, what about him?" The samurai beside him asked, pointing to the corpse of Shiga's own guardian.

"Don't touch his weapons and armor, fix his appearance, and entrust him to the villagers in the nearby villages, and ask them to hand them over to the army of the Dayou family who came later. If the villagers are timid, tell them, the Dayou family Your generals will reward them for this," Kinoshita said.

The samurai who took the order was stunned for a moment after hearing Masao Kinoshita's words, and then went down to carry out the order.It's just that he was very puzzled in his heart, why did your lord make such trouble, wouldn't it be better to just cut off the head of the opponent's general and then bring it to the opponent's front to show off?

Regarding the doubts of his subordinates, Masao Kinoshita expected it, but he did not make any further analysis.For an important minister of Otomo's family like Shiga Omori, rashly insulting his corpse is likely to be counterproductive. Not only will it fail to dampen the opponent's morale, but it will arouse the opponent's common hatred.

When he received the news of the disastrous defeat of the first-hand army, Otomo Yoshikan's main army just passed through Kusano's bamboo city.

"The battle of Ouchihara?" After listening to the cry of Ogami Shinmasa, who was lucky enough to escape intact, Usuki Kamhasu couldn't help but think of the battle between the Ouchi family and the Otomo family in Ouchi's family a few years ago. battle.

Just like that battle, the Luo family first let the general of Otomo's family know that he was going to form an army to block the Otomo family's army at the main mountain range of Mt. Attracting the attention of the Otomo family's first movers, the Roche family's gradually famous Iron Cannon Squad attacked unexpectedly from the side.

The strategy used by the Luo family this time is similar to that of the Ouchi family in the first World War of Otobahara, but the result now is that the Ouchi family's forward army was defeated and returned.This is simply a shame.Dayou's family was actually plotted twice by the same trick.

"Buy Shiga personally, and reward the villagers who brought the corpse with a stone of grain." Just when everyone thought that Otomo Yoshikam was about to get angry, Otomo Yoshikan ordered him surprisingly calmly.

"As for you, just get lost and go to the Xiaohe team to be the food security officer!" After watching Shiga's body was carried down, Otomo Yoshikan turned his head and said to Dagami Zhenzheng.

Ogami Zhenzheng hid in a nearby woods after his defeat, and returned to the team even later than the time when Shiga's body was sent back to Otomo's home, and until this time, he Not all the defeated soldiers under his command have returned to the team.Dashen Zhenzheng originally thought that he would not escape punishment this time, but in the end he was thrown to a safer back line, and was immediately taken down with great gratitude.

But in fact, Otomo Yoshikami really wanted to chop Dashen Zhenzheng with a single knife in his heart.However, Dashen Zhenzheng was a retainer who was close to Otomo's family, and it was also a chess piece used by Otomo Yoshikam to suppress the Dashen family. Naturally, he couldn't cut it, so he had to throw Dashen Zhenzheng to the back line.

"Command, advance slowly, today we must break through the enemy's formation to avenge the death of Shiga!" After sending Ogami Zhenzheng away, Otomo Yoshikan immediately ordered to continue the attack.He was determined to break into the Luo family's territory in one fell swoop and avenge the vanguard.

只是政良显然不会让他如愿的。此时的政良已经在高良山至筑后川之间的久留米地区筑起了一个简易城砦，城砦前面深挖壕沟，并且布满了栅栏。此次政良的大阵中，分别有第四常备足轻番队的200人、第五常备足轻番队的400人、第二常备足轻番队的400人、铁炮队200人、第一番常备骑马队500人、武士番队300人、披风众100人、侦番50人、传令兵50人，合共二千200人。几乎将罗氏家五分之二的常备都集中到这里来了。

In addition, the [-] farmers and soldiers temporarily recruited will serve as a logistics team and engineering team in peacetime, and as a reserve in wartime, ready to go to the battlefield at any time.On the north bank of the Chikugo River, the third standing Ashgaru squad guarding Asahiyama Castle and Katsuo Castle will also support the formation on the south bank at any time.On the waterway of the Chikugo River, dozens of ships from the Third Standing Navy Division are guarding the riverway.

This time, Luo's family and Otomo's family faced each other at the foot of Mt. Kora in Chikugo. (To be continued..)
