Warring States Eagle

"Woooooooo..."

At this time, outside the Chikugo Kusano family Honjo Castle, the Luo family's conch horn has already sounded.

It was already broad daylight, and the milky morning mist fell on Zheng Liang's face coldly.

"Bring horse seals!" Zheng Liang ordered sternly.

After Zhengliang put the horse seal on the saddle, the Faluo horn sounded again.That was the signal that the vanguard had arrived at the intended location.About [-] soldiers were divided into several groups in the rice fields that had been harvested.In the morning mist, they let out a high-pitched cry and moved forward.Doubtful, the soldiers defending the city are probably in a mess at this time. [

"We're going to attack the city right away. I repeat, don't act rashly!" In the morning fog, Zhengliang said immediately after seeing Daoguang Yongjun, who was the flag bearer of Zhengliang's main formation for the first time today, running over.

Duoweiguang Longjun responded and nodded emphatically.

Tao Guanglongjun's eyes told Zhengliang that they had entered the state of tension and excitement before the battle.For Zheng Liang, who had been on the battlefield since he was sixteen or seventeen, the atmosphere here was not unusual.

Together at the end of the war, life and death are unpredictable.Once out of the city, Zheng Liang felt that his body no longer belonged to him. "Guang Yongjun, keep going!"

Zhengliang's main formation was arranged on a hillside in the southwest corner of Bamboo City, and the formation was completed before the morning fog disappeared, waiting for the flag to be raised.Oishi Tomohisa is in command of the team, and Hidan, Ahri, and Taketori Sheranmaru are in charge of guarding Masara.

Shouts continued to be heard in the surrounding morning mist.The enemy was nowhere to be seen.No doubt, they are preparing for battle in a panic.The soil slope ahead looks like an ink painting.Suddenly, a group of sparrows startled from the paddy field ahead, almost covering the slope.

Duoweiguang Longjun couldn't help stopping Ma Song, "My lord!" he shouted.But Zhengliang didn't hear it.In the fading morning mist.From time to time he urged the horse forward.

The sun rose high.The black eagle horse seal newly created by the territory workshop.There was a beautiful light shining in the morning mist, and the subordinates in full armor had already rushed to the hills.

"My lord!" Daweiguang Longjun rushed forward and caught up with Zhengliang, "Don't be careless. The enemy may have deployed troops outside the city."

"Ambush?" Zheng Liang was taken aback immediately.

"Look, the direction the sparrow is flying to..."

Just as they were talking, a group of sparrows twittered over their heads and flew towards the enemy.Zheng Liang suddenly became suspicious.Such a situation may really be an ambush.As a precaution, Zheng Liang immediately ordered:

"Immediately raise the command flag on the slope."

Shortly after the command flag was hoisted.The morning mist gradually dissipated.There are piles of straw that are too late to deal with, and the thatch around the rice field is gently swaying in the breeze, and the team that shuttles through it is as small as an ant colony.According to the command flag, the team "forced" towards the gate of Zhuzhi City from all directions, but the city was quiet, no one shot arrows, and it seemed to be guarded.

Zheng Lai handed the whip to Fei Duan, and was about to dismount when he turned his head unconsciously.

"what?"

I saw the light of a long spear shining in a place that was impossible for our own side to reach.

"Look. There..."

Duoweiguang Longjun galloped over and looked back. [

"really……"

"Who will it be?"

"enemy."

"Enemy?" Zheng Liang exclaimed.At this moment.The Faluo sounded from nowhere, and several flags were raised in the woods around the paddy field at the same time.The first team, the second team, the third... The flag of the team in the front is dyed with apricot leaves.

"Ah!" Zheng Liang shouted on horseback, "It's Oyou's house!"

That hugging apricot leaf is the family crest of Otomo's family.The Otomo family's army, which was supposed to fight fiercely with the Ouchi family on the north bank of the Chikugo River, unexpectedly appeared here.

Mitsutoshi Tao remained silent, still staring closely at the rear.Flocks of sparrows passed overhead and flew into the distance, "My lord! The enemy's reinforcements have arrived."

"Damn it." Zheng Liang's wrist trembled violently, "It was tricked. Horsewhip."

"Yes!" Fei Duan handed over the whip that he had just received.

"Send someone immediately to see if there is an ambush in the woods there!" Zheng Liang said at the same time.

"Ah? Be careful, my lord!" As soon as Zheng Liang's voice fell, dozens of long arrows shot from the direction that Zheng Liang pointed just now.Since this distance has exceeded the warning range of Zhengliang's own system, Zhengliang has not yet discovered that there is an ambush hidden there.If he hadn't sent someone to investigate just in case, so that the other party had to show up in advance, it is estimated that Zheng Liang would be really in danger if he made a surprise attack again when Zheng Liang was commanding the battle.

Seeing the arrows coming straight towards Zhengliang, Bailihei under Zhengliang suddenly kicked up his front hooves and galloped towards the hillside.He narrowly escaped the catastrophe, but the cloaked crowd who couldn't react in time were hit. Only Fei Duan and others escaped because of their agility.

When Zheng Liang was running down the hill, several arrows were aimed at him again.In the rain of arrows, Zheng Liang pulled out Ji Gang's words, and calmly waved his sword to block the arrows...

Only then did Zheng Liang realize that at this time he had fallen into a trap carefully arranged by Otomo's family.Enemy troops appeared in the front and rear at this time, and the trees on the left side of the mountain were also shaking. Obviously, ambushes were also ambushed inside. The only way out was the densely covered small river near the south bank of the Chikugo River.It's just that the enemy troops on the front and rear sides are quickly surrounding that direction.

And just as Zhengliang realized, on a hill not far from Zhengliang at this time, Otomo's general Huci Jianlian laughed loudly: "This time we can finally deal with this Hizen eagle. Even if you are covered in feathers, I will definitely shoot down your eagle this time. Hahaha. Quick, blow the horn, blow the horn!"

"My lord, do you want to set up a military flag?"

"Not for now, it's too early. After the defenders leave the city, suddenly "insert" the flag under the enemy's nose!"

At this time, Mitsutoshi Tao had already rushed into the vanguard of Otomo's house with a gun in front of Zhengliang.He rushed left and right, as if he wanted to fight a bloody path for Zheng Liang.

"Mitsutoshi Tao is here! Those who stand in my way will die!" The enemies scattered to both sides in a panic.

"Kanliu. Go!"

An ashigaru samurai came out in response.

"Do you know that I have a lot of taillights?" [

Kanroku didn't answer, but stood on the narrow field ridge, blocking Mitsutoshi Tao's way.

"Mitsutoshi Tao. Quick!" Zhengliang jolted on the horse.Urging Mitsutoshi Tao to escape quickly.But Kanroku pointed the gun at Mitsutoshi Tao, with a calm expression and motionless.

"My lord, run quickly, I, Mitsutoshi Tao, will block them!" Mitsutoshi Tao shouted without looking back.

Suddenly, cheers sounded from behind, and the guards rushed out of the city.

Zhengliang's horse jumped up again.Arrows shot towards the black eagle horse seal like raindrops.One shot hit Bailihei's ass.

"My lord! Fei Duan is here!"

"Ah Li is here!" Seeing the critical situation, the two protected Zheng Liang from left and right.

At this moment, shouts came from the grass on the right.

"Ah!" Someone yelled, "It's the horse seal of Ouchi Qiuyue's family!"

"What?" Zheng Liang was suddenly shocked.The fact that Qiuyue's family actually appeared in the enemy's camp could only mean that this time the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family joined forces to deal with the Luo family.It really is so ruthless, in order to fool the Luo's family, the two families actually put on a real show on the north shore of Chikugo River.It's just that Qiuyue's family is on the North Shore, isn't it?How did you get here?Judging from the direction the other party was coming from, it was suspected that Zheng Liang's retreat had been cut off.

"My lord! Retreat quickly..." Mitsutoshi Tao shouted again.Suddenly, an incredible sound spread around, and even the ground trembled.Mitsutoshi Tao's right leg plopped and knelt down.But he was not hit by the arrow.He wasn't stabbed by a gun either, he felt like his right leg was being burned by charcoal fire.Piercing pain.

But Mitsutoshi Tao still tilted his neck, ready to face Kanroku.

Although Mitsutoshi Tao's head will be a rare trophy on the battlefield today, Kanroku didn't intend to kill it, and he said: "Ah, is it an iron cannon?" Then he put away his gun and quickly retreated to Otomo The banner of the family army went.

Mitsutoshi Tao immediately relaxed, only then did he realize that his legs were dripping with blood.

"I was shot by an iron cannon!" Seeing that the blood on his leg had soaked his pants, Tao Mitsutoshi said to himself.It seems that the lord's Nanban friend sold the iron cannon to the enemy.

Mitsutoshi Tao took off the pre-prepared cloth strips from his waist and bound his legs.Only then did he realize that the enemy had been tightly surrounded from all directions.He couldn't move anymore and felt that his life was going to end.The sound of horns, the sound of swords fighting, the sound of shouting, and the sound of arrows piercing the air, all these gradually faded away, and he only saw the blue sky.

At this moment, a scolding sound suddenly sounded in his ear: "Mitsutoshi Tao, stand up!"

"Yes Yes!"

"I'm Hidan. Are you still a retainer of the Luo family?"

"Yes Yes."

"Then you must stand up! Stand up and protect the lord!"

"Obey!" Mitsutoshi Tao put his hands on the ground.

"My lord! Where is my lord? Guangjun, I...Guangjun, I..." Tao Guangjun crawled forward, his body rolled into the paddy field, and a blush appeared in front of his eyes.

"My lord! Guangjun...Guangjun, here I come."

Gradually, Mitsutoshi Tao felt his body getting colder and colder, and his eyes became darker and darker...

At this time, the reinforcements of the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family, who were waving flags in the grass on the right, had already completely surrounded the main formation of the Luo family, and were gradually shrinking the encirclement.The Luo family's army has been divided and surrounded.The soldiers who came out of the city and the reinforcements who did not enter the city cleverly wove a net, enclosing the Luo family's army inside.

The front is the enemy, and the back is also the enemy.Zheng Liang tightened the reins, slammed his horse and rushed to the front of the Ouchi Qiuyue family's main formation, while shouting to the people next to him: "Everyone, please follow me! This is the final sprint!" He yelled sharply, The sharp Ji Gangyi characters are drawn to the clear sky, shining brightly.

Everyone in Luo's family responded and followed behind Zheng Liang.Bailihei under Zhengliang had already been hit by three arrows.On a sunny autumn day, only the golden horse seal is particularly eye-catching.Huci Jianlianxiu saw all this from a distance, and slapped the saddle pot again. He smiled, and everything was expected, "Don't shoot, save the medicine."

Because he found that the first time he used the iron cannon on the battlefield, it didn't make his opponents who were already familiar with the iron gun fearful.Moreover, the precious shot at the beginning missed Roshi Masara, and only hit Mitsutoshi Tao who was rushing forward.

"My own people are coming, and if you miss your head a little, you may be injured by accident. Stop shooting."

These iron cannons were bought by Otomo Yoshikam from those "ghosts" at a cost of tens of thousands of gold.But it is very expensive.If it weren't for the purpose of dealing with Roche Masara's Hizen eagle.Nothing will come in handy today.

In fact, you don't need to show your muskets. As soon as you see Zhengliang's horse seal, the Dayou Army will hold long guns and swarm up from all directions.The archers also aimed at him.

At this time, Zheng Liang had already come to a small river, and the water of the river was glistening under the Xia sun.Huci Jianlian felt that Zhengliang might not even be able to reach the small river this time.Seeing an opponent who had defeated him head-on several times was about to die tragically in front of him, Huji Jianren suddenly felt a strange feeling.

Zheng Liang had already chopped down a man who was stabbing with a gun.At this time, he had hacked and killed more than 20 enemy troops back and forth.Suddenly, a gun stabbed his horse in the head.The horse raised its hooves in pain and jumped into the air.The black eagle horse seal is like a painting, emitting gorgeous light.

"Sure enough, he is worthy of being the wise and courageous Hizen Eagle. Don't let him go!"

Zhengliang finally came to the river.He is in danger.After all, no matter how powerful he is, he is not an opponent who counts bows and arrows.Fortunately, because Ma Yin hid behind the bushes, he just blocked the sight of the pursuers behind him.

A samurai flew towards the river like an arrow from the string of the team that was desperately resisting the attack of the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family.On the small flag on the back, there is the word "broken soul" in big script.This person is the broken soul of the flag-headed ninja tomb of Zheng Liang's cloaked crowd.It is said that he was a ninja in the Shinano area. His family was wiped out by Takeda Shingen, fled to Kyushu, and eventually became a member of the Luo family's cloak.His ideal is to return to Shinano one day to kill Takeda Shingen and avenge his family.No one knew his real name, he only told others that his name was "Broken Soul of the Tomb".It means that for revenge, even his own soul is buried in the grave.

"Broken soul. Quick!"

Another person followed.With the Likui flag erected behind his back, the man waved his sword and leaned towards Zheng Liang.

"Is it Fei Duan?" Zheng Liang guessed right.During the melee, Fei Duan was the first to discover that Zhengliang was in a critical situation, and then bravely broke through the encirclement to protect Zhengliang.At this time, Ahri and Taketori Shemaru had already stood in front of Masaragi's horse, and they were enough to make those Owari soldiers who came rushing forward fearful.

"My lord! Let's fight to the death!" Fei Duan went straight to the enemy on the left, while Duan Hun brandished a sword and approached Zheng Liang, then suddenly grabbed his horse's reins and jumped into the stream on the right.

"Are you crazy? Broken soul!"

"Nonsense!" The dead soul of the tomb no longer cared about dignity.

"Retreat! Quick!"

"and many more!"

"Can't wait any longer. Get out of the river. Out of the enemy's arrows."

There is not a single decent tree on either side of the creek.Only some weeping willows and a few wild mulberry trees are just about to sprout green, but they can finally hide some.They hide behind trees.

"My lord!" Duan Hun of the tomb looked back at Zheng Liang, his teeth almost shattered, "Is my lord still the governor of the Luo family?"

"The broken soul of the tomb!" Zheng Liang is also gnashing his teeth now, his blood is boiling with enthusiasm, he feels that at this time he absolutely cannot abandon his retainers and run away alone.

"Get off your horse!" But Duan Hun of the tomb didn't listen to him, instead asked Zheng Liang to get off his horse, and then suddenly rushed towards Zheng Liang.

"Hey!" The broken soul of the tomb almost lifted up the suddenly attacked Zheng Liang and fell to the ground.

"Let's... be presumptuous!"

"If you are presumptuous, you can apologize afterwards. But you only have one life."

After knocking Zhengliang down, the tomb's broken soul didn't stop, he grabbed his chest again, and rode on him like a horse.

"What are you going to do?"

"Give me the armor."

"Broken soul! You..."

"For disobedience, let me go to that world to plead guilty!"

Zhengliang was dumbfounded, and he didn't even have the strength to resist. He was shocked by the sudden act of loyalty to the savior of the tomb. Before that, he had never personally experienced a retainer who was willing to take risks for himself. things.Even in the Battle of Kishidake Castle that year, Hirasa Masatada, Tsuda Hiromune and others died in battle to buy time for Masara to safely evacuate Kishidake Castle, it was not what Masara saw before his eyes.Now, this similar scene actually happened in front of my eyes.

After a while, the armor was stripped off, and Zheng Liang was put on the heavy, sweat-smelling helmet of the Duanhun of the Tomb.

"My lord, take care! Please don't forget that if the army of our family attacks Shinano in the future, please put the head of Takeda Shingen in front of the tomb of your servant." The soul of the tomb placed the small flag behind Masara.shouted.

Zhengliang no longer had the strength to straighten his armor.There was a grunt in the throat.But he looked up anyway.He saw the black eagle horse seal shining brightly, gradually disappearing.

On the other side, Ouchi Akizuki's family governor, Akizuki Wenzhong, never expected that Zheng Liang, who had disappeared from view, would appear from the stream again.

"Why did you appear again?" Qiuyue Wenzhong thought in a complicated mood.Because a concubine of his family was rescued by Zhengliang, and his in-law Shenwu Shaoce played a role in it, the friendship between Qiuyue's family and Luo's family has always been good.This time the Ouchi family responded to the request of the Ouchi family to jointly plot against the Luo family. He, Tao Longfang and others clearly opposed it.For this reason, Tao Longfang even rejected Ouchi Yoshitaka's order to go out, and directly led his troops to Anyi to support the "Mori" family.Compared with the Tao family, the strength of the Qiuyue family is much smaller, so they had to follow Ouchi Yoshitaka's order to go out.In order to avoid direct confrontation with Zhengliang.He even chose a place that was relatively far behind, but by God's will, he finally confronted Zheng Liang.

At this time, more than [-] archers were ambushing on both sides of him, just waiting for Zheng Liang to cross the stream.The spear team has also ambushed ahead.Among these people were several samurai from the Ouchi clan.They are responsible for monitoring the actions of Qiuyue's family.

"Hey, let's shoot!" Qiuyue Wenzhong clasped his hands.When he saw the golden horse seal shaking in the bushes, he had no choice but to give an order.

"Jingran is still alive, so patient!" Sugi Shigeki, who was next to Qiuyue Wenzhong, said that he was here to assist, but actually came to monitor, talking to himself.

When Bailihei was completely exposed in front of everyone.Bows and arrows shot past like raindrops.As if being sucked in, the arrow shot towards Mitsutoshi Tao's armor, but the men and horses did not fall down.Not even a single arrow hit Bailihei's body.The long spear team ran towards Bailihei with shouts.Bailihei still didn't stop.

Mitsutoshi Tao held Masara's horse seal aloft, with the last of his strength.Draw the enemy to the far horizon.

The spear team rushed forward and caught up with Bailihei in a blink of an eye.Qiuyue Wenzhong and Sugi Shigeki stared at the horse intently, but they had their own thoughts.The man on the horse must have been injured, but his posture remained the same, refusing to let go of the rein.The astonishing fighting spirit could not help aweing both of them, and Qiuyue Wenzhong even groaned, "Sure enough, he is a wise and courageous Hizen Eagle, with an extraordinary bearing."

Seeing that Qiuyue Wenzhong wanted to fight in person, a person behind him suddenly said: "My lord!" It was An Yishou, the important minister of the Qiuyue family.Qiuyue Wenzhong nodded with a wry smile.

At this time, two stubborn and mighty young generals walked out of Qiuyue Wenzhong, holding the spears that Qiuyue's family was proud of.Both of them painted scarlet on the tassels of their spears.

"Akizuki's family, Fukae Meinongshou, came to meet with Mr. Zhengliang."

"Akizuki's Ida relative is here!"

The two shouted hoarsely, and at the same time pierced their spears at the horse's head.The horse finally stopped.The man's armor on the horse's back shook slightly, his hands fell down forcefully, and his upper body suddenly fell heavily to the right.The two took a step back, and at the same time, the man fell off the horse with a plop.Before he fell off the horse, he seemed to be saying, "The eagle of Feiqian will shame the villain Qiuyue..."

Seeing "Zhengliang" fall from the horse, Ida Chizhi suddenly raised his gun and wanted to stab him.

"Wait!" Qiuyue Wenzhong stopped, "He is already dead."

Qiuyue Wenzhong slowly approached the corpse, took the black eagle horse seal, and slightly closed the deceased's wide-open eyes, "It's so admirable!"

Suddenly, there was silence around, as if everything had stopped moving.Sugi Shigeki walked up slowly.He was actually worried that "Zheng Liang" would suddenly jump up and attack everyone, so he came up at the end.

"Let's make sure, maybe it's not the Hizen Eagle." Sugi Chongki knelt down on one knee, and lifted the armor with his hands.

"Ah? Who is this?" Everyone couldn't help exclaiming after seeing Mitsutoshi Tao under the armor.

"It's really admirable." After confirming that it was not Masara himself, Akizuki Wenzhong couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but feel sincere admiration for Mitsutoshi Tao's self-sacrificing savior.

Just when everyone was making a noise because they found out that the person they killed was not Zheng Liang, those who jumped into the stream had disappeared.Hidan, Ahri, and Taketori Shemaru have all disappeared.

"Don't touch his armor, and that war horse, send them back to Luo's house." Qiuyue Wenzhong finally said.

"It seems that everything is God's will!" Huci Jianlian, who also learned that Zhengliang had escaped, looked up at the sky and sighed.

"Order to ignore the remaining Luo's family's forces, and go to the original camp to gather immediately." Seeing the thunderous shouts of killing coming from a distance, Huci Jianlian knew that the reinforcements of the Luo's family had arrived.They had completely missed a chance to kill Hizen Eagle Roshi Masara.

He knew that at this time, it was absolutely impossible to fight against the reinforcements of the Luo family who were full of anger.The enemy will be defiant.So the best way is to temporarily avoid its edge. (To be continued..)
