Warring States Eagle

This time, the one who assassinated Otomo Yoshijin was naturally the Black Eagle Squadron of the Luo family headed by Kato Duanzo.Zheng Liang made this "beheading" assassination plan when he learned that Dayou Yizhen was patrolling the territory.

Although Dayou Yizhen, who had been on guard for a long time, escaped in the end, it also delayed the time for Dayouyi Town to return to the front line of Sujian County, thus temporarily losing the backbone of the Dayou family to resist the invasion of the Luo family.

Dayou Yizhen also knew that without his own leadership, the situation of the main family against the invasion of the Luo family might not be optimistic, so after escaping back to the Takata Castle of the Yoshizuru family, he kept urging the Yoshizuru family and the nearby Takeda Tsu family to immediately mobilize the territory When the internal army is out of battle, see the county quickly.

It's a pity that, under the urging, he rushed to the urgent report of the Zhutianjin family. It turned out that the Fulai family and the Tianyuan family, who were the neighbors of the Zhutianjin family, had fallen.This news surprised Dayou Yizhen, and immediately called all the retainers in Gaotian City to discuss the countermeasures.

"My lord, why don't you ask for help from the rich families of the neighboring Fengqian Kingdom. Regardless of the family or the rich families of the Fengzen Kingdom, the Luo family is our common mortal enemy. I think they will definitely agree to send troops to help." Ji Xian's family governor Yoshihiro Jinshin suggested.

Dayou Yizhen frowned after hearing this.If they asked for help from the wealthy families of the Fengqian Kingdom, the other party would at least ask for food as a reward for their support.If this request had been made in the past, Dayou Yizhen would have readily agreed, but this year's drought and the recent relief of refugees by the rich families of the Dayou family have already consumed a lot of food reserves of the rich families of the Dayou family.If they send out food again, it may cause their own food crisis.It will even make the rich families in the family dissatisfied.

It's just that if you don't ask for help.Based on the current situation our family is facing.I'm afraid it is also in trouble.Not to mention that Luo's family is attacking Luming Yuecheng, the gateway of their home country, East County, just because of the fall of Tian Yuan's and Fu Lai's family, the defense system that they worked so hard to build before is useless.As these two neighbors, the Takeda Tsu family, Nai family, and Kifu family will all reduce their support for Luming Yuecheng because they want to defend their own territory.This sudden move by Luo's family immediately put everyone in Dayou's family into a situation where one thing was not the other.After thinking about it, Dayou Yizhen finally gritted his teeth and decided to seek help from the wealthy families of Fengqian Kingdom.

But what Dayou Yizhen didn't know was that at this time, the wealthy families of Fengqian Kingdom were too busy to take care of themselves, so there was still time to rescue Dayou's family!

Since Shi Zhicheng was ambushed, he went to rescue the reinforcements of Dragon King City.And with the cooperation of these captives, they took advantage of the situation to infiltrate Miaojian Yuecheng, and finally forced Iida Xingxiu and others to surrender.After completely controlling Miaojianyue City, Murakami Takashi immediately sent someone to contact Kakukuma Ishimune, Aguda and others who were besieging Dragon King City.

After learning that Murakami's second army had secretly captured the nearby Miaojianyue Castle, Kakukuma Ishimune and others were also very pleasantly surprised, and everyone immediately suggested that Murakami's second army come to join their first army. The four armies converged, and then joined forces to attack the Dragon King Castle of Usa Omiya Shi's family.However, this suggestion was rejected by the army strategist Kakukuma Ishimune.After learning about how the second army captured Miaojianyue City, Kakukuma Ishimune immediately thought of a more appropriate method.

Therefore, in the next few days, Myoken Yuecheng reinforcements headed by Iida Xingxiu.Under the banners of the Usa Omiya Shi family and the Sugi family respectively, they appeared in the vicinity of the Dragon King Castle with great fanfare.In an attempt to rescue Dragon King City.During these days, these reinforcements from the wealthy clan of Fengqian even fought several times outside the city with the army that was besieging Luo's family.

Seeing this scene, the defenders in the Dragon King City's morale also surged, and they fought hard to resist the Luo's family's attack.After this situation lasted for five full days, it seemed that the army of the Luo family besieging Dragon King City could not resist the dilemma of being pinched from inside and outside, and finally temporarily retreated the army half a mile away and stationed themselves.

Following the retreat of the Luo family's army, reinforcements headed by Iida Xingxiu immediately arrived at the Dragon King City, and the gates of the Dragon King City were also opened to welcome the reinforcements into the city.

When Iida Kohide's reinforcements appeared, due to the influence of Masara's previous letters of secret alliances with various wealthy families in the Buzen Kingdom, in fact, the governor of the Usa Omiya Shi family in the Dragon King Castle, Anshinin, was skeptical of these reinforcements. of.However, after witnessing Iida Xingxiu's reinforcements fighting with Luo's furniture outside the city several times, Anshinin Yuan Gongyi was finally relieved, so this time he not only opened the city gate to welcome Iida Xingxiu's reinforcements into the city, but even personally Come to the city gate to meet Iida Xingxiu and others.

"Hahaha, so it's Mr. Xingxiu, thank you for coming to help." After seeing Iida Xingxiu, Anshinin immediately laughed and said.

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. I just came to rescue under the order of my lord. But I have a good plan here, which can smoothly withdraw the Luo family's army from Buzen Kingdom." Iida Xingxiu walked quickly to Anshin-in and said in a low voice.

"Oh? It's He Liangce?" Hearing that Iida Xingxiu talked about repelling the Luo family's invading army as soon as they met, Anxinyuan immediately listened carefully.

"The method is very simple, as long as Mr. Omiya can borrow the next thing."

"What?"

"The head of Omiyaji!" Just as Anshin-in was puzzled, Iida Xingxiu suddenly made an attack, and directly drew out the tachi from his waist, and swung it forward.After a flash of silver light, a round object flew up, and finally rolled down to the ground.This is the justice's head of Anshin-in. He never imagined that Iida Xingxiu, a vassal of the Sugi family who came to support him, would suddenly kill him when they met, so even if his head was cut off, the justice of Anshin-in at this time There was still a puzzled expression on the head's face.

"kill!"

When the surrounding servants of the Usa Omiya Shi family were stunned by the scene in front of them, Iida Xingxiu was the tachi with the blood of Anshinin's justice in his hand, and shouted loudly.

"Kill!" Following Iida Xingxiu's loud shout, the "reinforcement troops" who were entering the city showed their ferocious faces one after another, and began to attack the Dragon King City guards around the city gate.At the same time, Kakukuma Ishimune and others who had sent people to closely monitor the movement in the Dragon King City also led their troops to rush to the Dragon King City immediately.

The reason why the defenders of Dragon King City were able to withstand the siege of the Luo family at the beginning was entirely dependent on the terrain of Dragon King City and the defense facilities of Dragon King City itself. Now with the fall of the Otemon Gate of Dragon King City, they have completely disappeared Lost these reliance.With the continuous influx of the two armies of the Luo family, Dragon King City was finally captured in the evening, and most of the retainers and clan members of the Usa Omiyaji clan were killed in this battle.Afterwards, the two armies attacked overnight and completely controlled the area around Dragon King City.

Just as the two armies of the Luo family attacked overnight, in Aoyama Castle, the last territory of the Buzen Kunisugi family, Sano Takai and Sano Kanshige, two uncles and nephews, were also talking in a secret room in a courtyard.

"Master Uncle, haven't you made a decision at this time? My nephew risked his life to return to Qingshan City this time, and it was entirely for the life of my uncle and the future fate of our family." Sano Qinzhong earnestly persuaded.Long before Kakukuma Ishimune's Fourth Army was about to withdraw under the pretense of being attacked by internal and external attacks, Sano Mishige took a few loyal clansmen and "fleeed" with his whole body wounded in battle. Arrived at Qingshan City.Later, when faced with inquiries from Sugi Masashige, Sugi Shigeke, and others, he gained their trust through bitter tactics, and was finally able to stay in Qingshan City.

Just as Sano Mishige said, he ventured into Aoyama Castle this time according to Kakukuma Ishimune's plan, for the sake of the life of his uncle Takai Sano and the future fate of the Sano clan.Because before he set off, he had already seen with his own eyes the letter written by Luo Shizhenliang, the governor of the Luo family. In the letter, he clearly promised that as long as their two uncles could help the Luo family take over the territory of the Shan family this time, then the two father and son could become Luo family members. Zhengliang's direct retainer.

With the decline of the Ouchi family and the civil strife in the Ouchi family, after the end of the local Raiders by the Luo family, the Luo family is likely to directly become the overlord of Kitakyushu. To be strong, such a powerful daimyo is naturally the ideal target for the Sano family to take refuge in.Now that there is such an opportunity in front of him, Sano Chishige naturally cherishes it all the more.And this time, whether he can cooperate with the Luo family's upcoming army to win Qingshan City, the key is to rely on a part of the defenders in the city controlled by his uncle.So at this time, he was trying his best to persuade his uncle Sano Takaju to join the Luo family.

"The Miaojian Yuecheng of the Sugi family was really captured by the Luo family?" For Sano's persuasion, Sano Takaju was very cautious, even when Sano fled back to Qingshan Castle to Sugi Masashige and others. When people reported the fall of Miao Jianyue City, Takaju Sano was also there to listen, but at this time he still wanted to ask in detail again.After all, if Miao Jianyue City was really captured by the Luo family, then the Sugi family would really be in a desperate situation in Buzen Country.This is also the reason why Sugi Masashige, the head of the Sugi family, and Shigege Sugi, the branch of the Sugi family, were shocked when they got the news.

"To tell you the truth, Uncle. It is wonderful to see that Yuecheng was indeed captured by the Luo family, but it was not captured by the Luo family's sneak attack, but with the cooperation of my nephew." Seeing that my uncle was still hesitating , Sano Mishige decided to adopt the method given to him by Kakukuma Ishigami before he set off, and heavily drugged Sano Takai, forcing Sano Takao to make a decision.

"What?" (to be continued...)
