Warring States Eagle

Sunshine City.

It is located in a basin surrounded by high mountains in Hita County, Bungo Country.Since ancient times, it has been a battleground for military strategists.Standing on the earthen wall of Hinaki Castle, to the north, through the mountain path of the towering Yufu Mountain, it is a castle leading to Ouchi Jiafeng former country.To the east, along the mountain road beside the river is the hinterland of Bungo country.To the south, along the mountain path, you can reach the foot of Mount Aso in Higo.To the west, it borders Chikuzen and Chikugo respectively through the Mizunawa Mountains and the Hoju Mountains.

Outside the city, the Sannouchi River, an important branch of the Chikugo River, passes along the city wall.There are many farmers along the banks of the Sannouchi River.The fertile land along the coast here can be described as a small granary of Bungo country.Since the Sannouchu River originates from the water flow and springs in the surrounding mountains, whenever the rainy season comes, when these water flows gather on the Sannouchu River, the water level of the Sannouchu River rises, and once the surrounding river embankments lack embankments, it will often cause Great flood.Local farmers believe that this is caused by the dissatisfaction of the water god, so every rainy season, a grand fireworks display will be held here. It can be said that this is a water god festival held to pray for the prevention of floods.This kind of ceremony has been preserved until later generations, and it has become a famous fireworks festival.At the same time, the water quality here is quite good, especially the underground water, which is said to be healthier than ordinary mineral water, and it will become a famous product in the future.

At this time, the Rishou City has completely become the logistics base for the Otomo's Chikuhou Kingdom Raiders, and a large amount of food, weapons and other materials are piled up here.Due to limited manpower, the people responsible for maintaining these materials are basically women and children temporarily recruited from the local area.As for the men, they were basically recruited to the front line to participate in Otomo's Kora Castle Raiders.

This place originally belonged to the Ogami family's territory. The Ogami family, which was one of the best in Bungo, was completely overwhelmed by the Otomo family more than ten years ago.They had to be forced to give up the territory here.Then the whole family moved to Jiuzhu County, where the environment is much worse than here.This place has completely become the direct-controlled territory of the Otomo family.

Although Otomo's family has been in charge of this place for more than ten years, because the guard here has always relied on taking the initiative to deal with the local people, coupled with the nostalgia for the original lord Osami's family in the hearts of these people, in fact the people here Military-civilian relations are not very good.Therefore, in order to avoid accidents, as the logistics general of the Otomo's Raiders and the temporary chief here, Usuki Kamsuji simply sent all the men here to the front line, and dispatched the main guards in the city to the Yubu mountain road. Checkpoints are used to defend the former Ouchi family of Dafeng in the north (although the two families have formed an alliance at this time, it is necessary to guard against each other).Due to the lack of men, and there are not many guards left in the city.So he simply recruited local women and children with almost zero combat effectiveness to assist in material management.

It was already afternoon today, and Kamsu Usuki was checking the account books at this time.In response to the call of the Otomo's family last night, the several powerful families who gathered in Rishou City also rushed to the Otomo's camp in the Chikugo Kingdom overnight with torches, and now there are only two remaining troops of the powerful families who have not yet arrived.According to the latest report, the troops of these two powerful clans have also rushed to the nearby Kamure Castle, and they will pass through here today, and then rush to the camp of the Chikugo Kingdom.As for the latest batch of farmers and soldiers recruited to transport supplies, they should have arrived at Xiongmuli City behind Jiaomuli City.Everything appears to be in order.Now all we have to do is wait for the good news from Chikugo Kingdom.

For this strategy, he is full of confidence.After all, this time he personally went to the Ouchi family and secretly cooperated with the Naito family to promote the alliance of the two families, so as to achieve the goal of jointly attacking the Luo family.With the current strength of the two families, they can completely crush the Roche family.So he is very confident.

"My lord, my lord."

At this moment, there were several urgent calls from the guards outside the meeting hall.Usuki Kansuki frowned upon hearing this.Putting down the account book in his hand, he stood up with his hands on the ground.Walk slowly towards the door.

"My lord." At this moment, two guards came in hastily from the door, among them were supporting a warrior who was panting and stretched his legs already weak.

"This is?" Seeing this scene, Usuki Kamsu couldn't help being taken aback.At the same time, a bad premonition burst out from the depths of my heart.

"Master... Lord..." The visitor fainted before finishing his sentence.One of his hands pointed desperately westward before fainting.

"Come here, help him down to rest." The visitor was obviously exhausted and passed out, as long as he recuperates for a while, he should be fine.It's just that his words and actions before he passed out completely confused Usuki Kamsu.He couldn't help pacing up and down the room.

"No, my lord is in danger." Suddenly, Usuki Kansuki seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly exclaimed: "Come here, beat the drums and gather the soldiers immediately."

Just as Usuki Kansu gathers soldiers in Hinaki Castle, Otomo Yoshikan is about to fall into danger.

After discovering that there were pursuers behind him, Otomo Yoshikan decisively issued an order to flee immediately.It's just that the chasing soldiers were very close at this time. In order to buy enough time for Otomo Yoshikam to escape, Tian Beijiansheng and the other forty warriors resolutely chose to stay and take charge of blocking the chasing soldiers.These samurai who are still following Otomo Yoshikan are obviously the hardcore supporters of Otomo's family. Even if they know that staying this time is likely to kill them, they don't frown.With the assistance of several people, Dayu Yijian continued to flee to the city.

In order to speed up their escape, Otomo Yoshikan and the others only left behind their weapons, even their armor.At the same time, they also chose one of the fastest runners to rush to Rixiu City to ask for reinforcements in advance.This person was the comatose samurai who had just been interviewed by Kenha Usuki.

In this way, Otomo Yoshikan ran all the way for less than half an hour, not only passed the junction of Chikugo Kingdom and Bungo Kingdom, but even saw the shadow of Hinaki Castle.At this moment, there was a sound of horseshoes behind him.It turned out that Zheng Liang and others were chasing him.

Being intercepted by Tian Bei Jiansheng, and in the middle of the journey, several warriors of Otomo's family deliberately got into the forest along the road, which caused the signs of Otomo's troops fleeing in batches, confusing Zheng Liang and others' pursuit, Zheng Liang and others Obviously, people can't catch up with Yoshikami Otomo in time.

It also happened that Otomo Yoshikashi was unlucky, and just when Zhengliang asked Hai Dongqing to determine the main escape direction of Otomo's defeated troops, more than [-] cavalry led by Isano Yuanchang arrived in time.

It turned out that even though Takasaka Masanobu and Asakura Sodi, who were good at martial arts, were temporarily required to be responsible for Masara's safety, Yamamoto Kansuke and Togo Heiji felt that it was not safe enough afterwards, so they temporarily transferred some of the cavalry that had originally joined the Third Route Army and let Masahiro Isano lead the army. Come to support Zheng Liang.And because these cavalry were taking the main road, not the mountain trail that Zheng Liang and others took to track down the defeated troops of Otomo's family, they arrived at this time.

After meeting with the cavalry, Zhengliang immediately replaced one of the cavalry, and then let the infantry follow, while he led Isano Chang and others ahead of time and continued to chase.Finally, when he was about to arrive at Sunshine City, he saw the shadows of Otomo Yoshikami and others.However, at this time, an army of dozens of people also pulled out at the gate of Rixiu City.Apparently they came to meet Otomo Yoshikami and others.

Otomo Yoshikam and others were taken aback when they found cavalry behind them.The easiest thing to regret in this world is that you are about to reach the end, but find that there is little hope.Yoshikami Otomo regrets it now.If he had known about him earlier, he would have listened to the advice of his subordinates and asked people to pretend to be him on the main road, and then he hid in the forest next to the mountain road and waited for rescue.

But at the time he was really scared.Once the Luo's family completely blocked the main road leading to Sunshine City before them, he would have to wait in the forest to starve to death, so he hesitated again and again. Entered the nearby forest, and he continued to flee forward.Seeing that he was about to escape, the enemy's cavalry appeared behind him at this time, which made Yoshikami Otomo drop from heaven to hell in an instant.

"My lord, run away!" At the critical moment, the last four retainers around Otomo Yoshikam resolutely turned around and yelled to kill the cavalry behind.They are going to temporarily block the pursuers with their naked bodies.

Otomo Yoshikam turned his head and took a deep look at the retainers, then resolutely turned his hair around and ran forward like crazy.With the support of the will to survive, his speed has increased to unimaginable speed.

"Kill!" Seeing four lunatics yelling like lunatics blocking the Otomo samurai on the road from a distance, Masahiro Isano instantly increased his horse speed and left Masara behind, then shouted loudly and raised his carbine Go forward without slowing down.

"Kill!" A few cavalry behind him closely followed Isano Yuanchang, and also raised their carbine and rushed forward without slowing down.

"Puff, puff..."

There were four consecutive sounds of guns being pierced, and the four samurai from Otomo's family were finally shot and killed by Masahiro Isano and others.But the speed of the Colts still suffered a little.

Zhengliang quickly rode his horse past Isano Masahiro and the others.At this time, Dayou Yijian was close to the army of Dayou's family who came out from Rixiu City to meet him.

While continuing to chase wildly, Zheng Liang picked up the fetal bow hanging on the horse's belly with one hand, leaned over the horse's back to ensure his body was stable, then let go of the horse's reins, and with his left hand drew a feathered arrow from behind and put it on the horse's back. On the longbow, finally sat up again.

Pull the string with your right hand, hold the bow and arrow with your left hand, and aim.

"Take an arrow from me, Great Friends Yijian!"

With a silent thought in his heart, Zheng Liang quickly used the bow and arrow skill of "Sui Jin Po".The arrow of Yujian flashed cold light, and shot at Otomo Yoshikami who was still running desperately with a "swish". (To be continued..)
