Warring States Eagle

The three people in the forest are the Luo family's old Isono Masahiro, the cavalry general Masanobu Kosaka, and the iron cannon general Irita Yoshimi. *top*point*small* says

As early as half a year ago, the three of them secretly received a secret order from their lord Zhengliang to secretly disperse the first standing cavalry squadron, the second standing cavalry squadron, and the second standing iron cannon squadron of the Luo family led by the three of them. Standing supplies and war horses and other war preparations were secretly brought to the border between the Luo family's Hiho country and the Hyuga country.

After gathering, their team began to march towards Mitai Nakayama Castle on the western border of Hyuga Country, which had been secretly controlled by the Luo family several years ago.In order to cooperate with the secret operations of these fan teams, Zheng Liang also deliberately publicized the news that the Luo family entered the Saeki family in Bungo country, and even deliberately temporarily left the Saeki family, Shimadzu family, and Ito family who secretly sneaked into the border area of ​​​​the Luo family. Under the supervision of the Luo family's population registration system and the border blockade management system, these minions have been discovered by the Luo family's black eagle since they entered the Luo family's territory, but they were not captured until the Luo family fully attacked the Saeki family), so that These details are for the Luo family to pass false information to the three families, thus attracting the attention of the three families to the Saeki family in the Bungo Kingdom.

Of course, the Shimadzu family and the Ito family are not stupid people. Although both families focused their attention on the Saeki family's territory according to Masara's calculations, they also went to the border area bordering the Luo family's territory as a precaution. Guards were stationed.So when the army led by Masahiro Isano, Masanobu Takasaka, and Yoshimi Irita was about to arrive at Zhongshan City, they joined forces with the lord of Zhongshan City, Mita Iutake, to take over the defenders of the Ito family who had just stationed in Zhongshan City.

Immediately, the army led by Masahiro Isano, Masanobu Takasaka, and Yoshimi Irita took a rest in Zhongshan City.Then start gradually heading towards Matsuo Castle along the mountain road.period.With the cooperation of Mita Iyoutake, they quietly took down several checkpoints of the Ito family and even the simple villages in the mountain road, and finally sneaked into the mountain forest that had been selected by the Luo family's intelligence cabinet to rest two days ago. .

The reason why they need to rest is because in the previous series of raids, most of the roads traveled by this army were mountain roads, which were very difficult, and they couldn't ride on horses, so they could only lead the horses on foot.Sometimes the horses can't move forward because the mountain road is too steep, so they can only use knives to open up a more soothing path through the woods.Even so, dozens of war horses were converted along the way (all because of the steep mountain road, they fell into the cliff or under the hillside, so they were killed or injured and could not continue to move forward, so they had to kill them for food), which made everyone heartbroken. .And everyone was exhausted because of it.

Secondly, because of the previous raids and several battles with enemy troops along the way, many soldiers were injured.And it's very tiring, so it's natural to take a rest in time.

at last.It is because according to the information of the local intelligence staff of the main family, the Shimadzu family and the Ito family's reinforcements to the Saeki family have passed through Matsuo Castle for a while before, and at this time they are already fighting fiercely with the army led by the lord Masara in the Bungo region. In the middle, this is exactly the best time to attack.

When it comes to the members of the intelligence cabinet of the family, whether it is the old Isono Masao, or Kosaka Masanobu and Irita Yoshimi, they all admire them.The reason why they sneaked into the vicinity of Matsuo Castle so smoothly this time is inseparable from the help of the Intelligence Pavilion.Although Mita Iyoutake was indeed the first to make the first contribution here, the intelligence officers who have been lurking in the local area for several years not only provided accurate maps during this period, but also grasped the exact time, so that the army horses of this route could attack at the right time .Otherwise, once there is a big difference in timing and time, this army will naturally be discovered by the defenders of the Ito family.After all, the defenders of the Ito family are not fools. Along the way from Matsuo Castle to Zhongshan Castle on the western border, if they do not get the safety of the checkpoint personnel along the way for a long time, they will definitely be alerted by the defenders of Matsuo Castle.Now, after two days of rest in the local area, it is no longer possible to postpone the situation. The army led by Masahiro Isano, Masanobu Takasaka, Yoshimi Irita, Utake Mita and others is finally about to attack.

That night, the sparse starlight could not penetrate the dense clouds, and darkness enveloped the earth.The sounds of rustling are all over the mountains and plains, this is the sound of wrapped horseshoes, footsteps, and collisions.The sound of everyone advancing was extremely subtle, faintly visible, as if it came from the ground.

"My lord, we're here. It's just one mile to the north." Under the whispered report of a local lurking intelligence officer, Masanobu Kosaka, the leader of the first-hand formation, looked up through the sparse starlight.

I saw a fortress appearing in front of it. The light on the wall was not too high. It was the Matsuo Castle of the Ito family, which was the base camp of the Saeki family in the Bungo Kingdom, which was supported by the Shimadzu family and the Ito family this time.At this moment, the sleeping city seemed extraordinarily quiet.

"Pass my order, attack the city immediately!" Seeing this, Kosaka Masanobu immediately ordered.So, under his command, the army rushed towards the west gate of Matsuo City.

"My lord, look, the oil lamp, that is the signal for the people in the city to meet us. Our side Xizuo at the west gate is ready to snatch the west gate." Just as he was gradually approaching Matsuo City, the personnel from the Intelligence Pavilion came again report.

"Okay!" Kosaka Masanobu responded happily in a low voice after following the direction pointed by the staff of the intelligence cabinet and seeing a little starlight shining.Long before he went into battle, the lord Masara had confessed to him and the old Isonoman Masahiro separately that this time the siege of Matsuo Castle would be coordinated by members of the main family in the castle. Now it seems that the lord really I have been prepared for a long time, so that my family's siege battle tonight has added a lot of help.

When Kosaka Masanobu and others, who were the vanguard, came outside the west gate of Matsuo Castle, the gate was already in chaos.The defenders inside seem to be in the middle of a fierce battle. It is obvious that your own army is trying to seize control of the city gate and welcome the army of Kosaka Masanobu and others outside the city into the city.It's just that Matsuo Castle is approaching as an important town for the Shimadzu and Ito families to support the reinforcements of the Saeki family in the Bungo country. The city gate could not be opened in time.

"Array, prepare to shoot." After discovering the situation inside the west gate of Matsuo Castle, Kosaka Masanobu immediately ordered everyone to start attacking the city.As the first mover, the Luo family's army quickly formed an array, and rows of archers began to prepare to shoot.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" At this time, the alarm in the city rang non-stop, especially when a huge army suddenly appeared outside the city, the defenders who were fighting fiercely in the city tried their best to call the police.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

The sky on the city wall suddenly brightened red.The burning fire arrows pierced densely into the darkness.Yayin shrieked, and the dark night was instantly shattered.

In the city, the messengers from the west gate galloped to the gates of the rest of the city, "there is an enemy attacking the south gate, and help quickly.".

In a hurry, most of the soldiers who were still asleep became a little flustered. Even the soldiers who started to assemble were in disarray and lost their formation.In the darkness, no longer caring about anything else, most of the people followed the warriors against the flow of people and hurried towards the west gate in a chaotic manner.

On the battlements at the west gate, lives twisted, struggled and screamed in pain in the fire.The flames burned a samurai master who was in charge of defending the city at the west gate that night. He held a dagger and shouted loudly: "Go up, go up to me... Hold on, hold on to me, don't let the secret workers in the city get close city ​​gate.

However, when he shouted loudly, there was a roar of killing.Outside the city, countless shouts gathered.

"Kill!"

The main force in the rear finally came.Cloth strips from countless horseshoes and leather boots were torn off, like snowflakes floating in the firelight.The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and they rushed to the bottom of the city.The ropes climbing the city were thrown towards the city wall, and the soldiers of the Luo family below the city climbed up the ropes like ants.The soldiers on the city wall immediately shouted and picked up their spears and stabbed the soldiers of the Luo family who were climbing up. Some of them even took up their knives and cut off the ropes fixed on the battlements by iron hooks with all their strength.

At this moment, with a sound of "Zhi, Kar", under the full attack of Luo's family's secret agents in the city, the city gate was finally opened with an unbearable groan.In the dust that was stirred up, a black-armored samurai stepped into the door with a long spear. This person was Masanobu Kosaka, the leader of the first strike formation.Then, a hundred black armored soldiers rushed in.On the city wall, more and more soldiers from the Luo family appeared.

The enemy army advanced, and the defenders at the west gate of Matsuo Castle began to retreat.The retreating soldiers infiltrated the rescue team, terrified, and the germs spread rapidly among the defenders of Matsuo City, and there was a sudden chaos.

The main force of the Luo family's army rushed into the city in an instant.

"I can't retreat. If we retreat any longer, we will abandon the city. We have no way to retreat!", Ito Yuan, the lord of Matsuo Castle who just arrived, was heartbroken and shouted: "Soldiers of Matsuo Castle, who will go first with me?".

As the right-hand man of Ito Yoshisuke, the governor of the Ito family, Matsuo Castle must not be lost tonight, otherwise, the governor of the Ito Yoshisuke and his army who are fighting against the Luo family in the territory of the Saeki family in the Bungo Kingdom will be trapped. The Luo family is in a situation where they are attacking from front to back, and once the city falls, most of the troops in Hyuga have been dispatched to the western part of the country to border the Luo family. As a result, the interior of the country is empty at this time. Then the inner area of ​​Hyuga country will be quickly captured by the attacking army. If this continues, the Ito family will not be far away, so Ito Yuan will definitely not give up Matsuo Castle.

"I would like to be the general first." Just as Ito Youan yelled loudly, a samurai shouted and stood up in the street.One person, one knife, facing the surging wave of Luo's family army coming ahead.Behind him, more than a dozen warriors also shouted loudly, "It was a battle between adults, life and death are shared", and rushed out.
