A melee is taking place at the gate of Rijiu City, the capital of the Kyushu Fenghou.

"Die!"

Masayoro cut off the head of a samurai Otomo family who had one leg cut off by him with one knife. Then he looked around.

Although there were less than 30 people on one side, most of them were brave men who had experienced many battles. Not to mention the powerful generals Masara and Isono Tomotatsu. So when they faced only a few samurai, the peasant soldiers occupied more than half of the Ototo family's army. After a great battle, several people were killed by Masara and Isono Tomotatsu. The Ototo family's army was immediately killed and retreated step by step.

"Kill!"

When the house was filled with rain, there was a cry of killing sound in the distance. It turned out that more than 200 Luo family's cloaks and samurai troops finally arrived.

"Run!"

I don’t know who called out first, but seeing the Luo family army coming like a tide in the distance, the Otomo family army, which was besieging Masayoro and others, suddenly dispersed and fled in scattered like a life. Even the soldiers who were originally blocked at the entrance of the city gate began to retreat.

In the distance, Zhengliang even saw many women and children screaming and running away from the fort in front of him.

"Not good!" Zheng Lian secretly complained in his heart, because these women and children obviously ran out of the city, but they did not run out of the city gate in front of him, which means that there are other city gates in the fort, and they have been opened at this time. Thinking of this, Zheng Lian suddenly felt a bad feeling.

"Kill!" So Masaliang immediately shouted and killed the piles and grain trucks at the city gate, jumped into the city gate and began to kill into the city. Behind him, Isono Hoshi Chang and others naturally followed closely. The Luo family army that arrived later began to treat the injured cavalry and war horses, and on the other hand, they began to clean up the debris at the city gate and followed the footsteps of Masaliang and others to kill into the city.

"Look. Look, it's on fire there." Masayoro, who had just rushed into the city, was about to send someone to search for the whereabouts of Otomo Yoshiki, when he suddenly heard a slight yelling beside him.

Looking down in the direction pointed by Foot Light, I saw a thick column of smoke rising above the east side of the fortress.

"Go and take a look!" Zhengliang immediately ordered. So the team was divided into two, Zhengliang took some people to the city lord's mansion, while the other people went to the fire place.

As for other city gates, Zhengliang no longer intends to send people to guard them. If the enemy really escapes, they will definitely leave earlier than the women and children who are fleeing in panic. After such a period of time, the people have already run away. There are at least two avenues outside the city and there are many forests. With Zhengliang's army at this time, if they pursue them separately, it will inevitably lead to weak troops and may be ambushed by others. So it is better to completely control the fortress before making plans, so this is a safe arrangement. It is not possible to steal the chicken and lose rice.

And just as Zhengliang had expected before, when he arrived at the city lord's mansion, he found that he could not even see a shadow of a person here.

"Lord, it's not good. The one that caught fire was the warehouse where food and other materials were stored. The subordinates arrested a prisoner for interrogation and found out that these materials were all logistics supplies from the Otomo family's army this time." At this time, Isono Tomosa rushed to report the report.

"What?" Zhengliang was shocked. If everyone was allowed to continue burning, not only would they lose a batch of free supplies for nothing, but the fire would even burn until the entire city was burned. If the Riji City was lost, it would probably turn into a field where Otomo and Ouchi and the two families jointly fought against the Luo family. This would make the Luo family not get the city here, and also lose a defense and advantage.

"What a cruel plan! Is this my choice? Should I continue to lead people to chase you, or stay here to put out the fire and retain supplies and the city?" Zheng Lian thought in his heart. So he quickly made a decision:

"Send the order. Immediately organize people to put out all their efforts to put out the fire, and send people to reconnaissance nearby."

After Isono's order, Masaru went down to execute it immediately. Masaru sat on a wooden table next to him and chased him. Masaru also consumed a lot of physical strength, so he now needs a rest to ensure sufficient physical strength to deal with the next thing.

In the afternoon, the fire in the city was finally put out. Zhengliang held a simple assessment meeting in the meeting hall in the city.

"Lord, the fire in the city has been put out, half of the materials have been burned down, and the remaining materials are being sorted out." Asakura Sodi first reported.

"Lord, there is already news about Otomo Yoshimi. According to the prisoner's confession, when the family attacked the city gate, another team of Otomo's army had already guarded Otomo Yoshimi and fled from another city gate. After receiving the news, the subordinates had urgently dispatched a team of cavalry to pursue him, but halfway through, they found that Otomo Yoshimi had been responding to another team of troops who had arrived." Isono's Tomo Masao hurriedly reported the report.

"Oh? At this time, there is still military force coming to pick him up? What flag is this military force under?" Zhengliang asked hurriedly.

"It seems to be the flag of the Great God's family and the Mu Fu family. After responding to Otomo Yoshiki, this army stopped a little while on the spot, and then quickly returned from the same route. It was expected that they would rush to Kakumuri Castle in the rear." Isono Tomosashi knew that Masayora was worried about whether the army would attack Riji Castle, so he immediately reported it.

"Well, send the Black Hawk closely to guard against the enemy in this direction." Zhengliang immediately ordered. This time, the capture of Rijiu City was completely unintentional. Zhengliang had never expected to go deep into the territory of Fenghou. Now that he has obtained a bargain, he naturally cannot easily grab it for others.

"Lord, there is also a checkpoint for the Otomo family in Yubuyuyama Road half a mile away from the city. According to the prisoners' explanation, there is at least 200 military forces at this level. These military forces are directly under the jurisdiction of the Otomo family." At this time, Hiduan, who was standing beside him, also reported.

"The military power of more than 200 people?" After hearing this news, Zhengliang couldn't help but feel lucky. If these 200 people were in Rijiu City today, the Luo family would not only be unable to seize the city, but would even suffer heavy losses.

"I ordered my army to defend the city closely, but there was no need to attack the level actively. If it came to provoke, I would resolutely attack. In addition, I ordered a curfew to the villages outside the city, and no outsiders were allowed to travel around the outside. All captured Otomo's prisoners were thrown into the cell, and there was no need to provide them with food for the time being." After all, I had been fighting for a day and a night, and Masayoshi decided to wait for the effort, so that my army would take a rest in Rijiu City before deciding on the next move. As for his connection with other parts of the territory, now with Haidongqing, it would be much easier to solve. It would be possible to let the Haidongqing, who was following Zhengliang, be responsible for sending letters regularly.

So for two consecutive days, under Zhengliang's arrangement, the Luo family's military power began to take down the territory near Rijiucheng while gradually taking over.

"Lord, you're gone, those guys are gone." On this day, Masarara was checking the material books left when Usuki was rushing to escape, but saw Takeochia Snake Lanmaru hurriedly coming in to report the report.

"Who is leaving?" Zhengliang asked slowly.

"Report to the lord, the Otomo family's army, who was at the checkpoint in the Fuge Mountain Road, took the initiative to retreat today, and seemed to have fled to Fengmae, the other side of the mountain." Realizing that he was a little rude at this time, Takeotomimaru immediately saluted Masaru and reported to Masaru.

"Are you going to return to Fenghou Kingdom by Fengqian? It seems that they don't have much military ration. Seeing that Rijiu City has completely fallen into the hands of our family, and in the past two days, our family sent people to loudly publicize the miserable defeat of the Otomo family and the Outo family coalition forces outside the checkpoint. I guess they are indeed not allowed to leave." Masayoro said in contemplation.

"Lord, a letter from Lord Yamamoto." At this moment, Ahri came in with a sealed letter to report.
