Chapter 642 Battle of Onogawa

Although he had learned in advance that the Luo family's army was coming to the border, the Kaorii-Niii family, which was the only place to pass into the southwestern part of Fenghouguo from the direction of Gaomori Castle in Feihouguo, surrendered without resistance when facing the Luo family's army.

As the family governor, Konobushi's choice was also a helpless move. The Onogawa (Onogawa), one of the two largest rivers in the Toyogo Kingdom, originated in the Grandmother Mountains on the border between Toyogo Kingdom and Hitogo Kingdom, then flowed into the Toyogo Kingdom, and a plain was allocated in the southwest of Toyogo Kingdom. The Kyōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōōō

Although there are several dangerous situations to defend in the mountain road leading to the territory of the Kuroshima family in Asu County, it is completely impossible to resist the Luo family's army with the military strength of the Kuroshima family. What's more, since the Otomo family acquired control of Feihou Kingdom, the territory of the Kuroshima family has never experienced wars again. Faced with the fierce Luo family army, the retainers and the leaders of less than 300 people were unwilling to fight, and their own city, Shanye City, was low and small, and had no possibility of sticking to it.

So in desperation, the family governor, Kuroshiwang Town had to choose to surrender (in fact, after Feihouguo fell into the hands of the Luo family, the family governor of the Otomo family only focused on the construction of Gaocheng City on the east coast, and did not provide any support to the Shanye City of Kuroshiwang family. From this we can see that once the two families fought, the Kuroshiwang family would be abandoned if necessary).

Of course, in order to avoid revenge on the Kitashiga family on the east coast of the Ono River in the future, he also secretly sent someone to inform the Kitashiga family on the Kitashiga family that had been sending people to closely guard the Kitashiga family that connected the east and west banks, and asked the other party to burn the bridge in advance. Because the water flow in the upper reaches of the Ono River is very fast, it is impossible to cross to the other shore directly by swimming. People usually pass through ferries or this only bridge on the east and west banks.

In the evening, the Luo family's army officially began to camp on the west bank of the Ono River. At the same time, Shiga, who also began to camp on the opposite east bank, stood on a small hill and looked at the Luo family's camp on the opposite bank. Rows of horses tied with trees were placed on the bank of the river, and dozens of buildings that seemed to be arrow platforms began to appear on the river bank. A series of ridges and fences were distributed in the four corners. The cold light flashed like a huge arrowhead, which made any enemy who tried to force cross the river to think about it first. Countless military tents were covered with open space behind the river beach, and the light of countless torches was like a river of starlight dragged out along the river bank of two miles, with a magnificent momentum. People couldn't help but think of the word "magnificent".

The shimmering shadows of the water shine on the wooden fences on the river bank, and the sound of the waves of the river water hit the river beach, making a rustling sound, just like the sound of the armor rubbing on the warriors during fierce battle.

"What a strong momentum." Shiga Kendo's hand holding the reins of the war horse tightened and whispered to himself: "No matter what, I will avenge my father and block you, the fat eagle on the west bank of Onogawa!"

Shiga Kento's father Shiga Kento died in battle when the Otomo family launched a second strategy to the Luo family, which led to the young Shiga Kento inheriting the position of family governor. However, in history, Shiga Kento was a hardcore supporting Otomo Yi Town's successor to the family governor. Now, under the leadership of Shiga Kento, Kita Shiga's family supports Shishimamaru.

The next morning, the calm west bank of the Ono River finally began to vibrate. Through the white fog in the morning, you can see that the west bank is surrounded by people at this time.

In an instant, it seemed as if thousands of troops appeared from the fog on the opposite mountain, with dense heads and countless numbers. The Luo family army was constantly emerging from the forest on the opposite foot, and its rumbling footsteps resounded throughout the foot of the mountain. The flying flags appeared in the sky, like a black cloud pressing towards the river beach.

"Note. It is the Luo family army on the other side!"

A Kitashiga samurai riding on a horse suddenly strangled the war horse by the river. Behind him, a team of squads were following.

"Prepare for combat!"

Shiga Kendu, who was urgently awakened by his personal servant, immediately ordered the situation.

With an order, the square formation of Kitashiga family's army was also rapidly unfolding on the river beach on the east bank of the Ono River. However, Shiga personally brought the soldiers from nearby Takashi Castle and Okam Castle here. Even with the local peasant soldiers who were temporarily conquered last night, there were only less than a thousand people. The other rich families were still preparing to go out at this time, so don't expect them to come to help before this afternoon. So on the river beach on the east bank of the Ono River, the square formation of Kitashiga family's army seemed a bit sparse.

In comparison, the Luo family on the west bank had a sword like a mountain and a gun like a forest, dazzling in the spring sunshine. The military flag with black eagles was visible and loomed in the morning fog. It seemed to fly.

"Arrowmen, iron cannon team, prepare, shoot!"

At this time, the surface of the Onogawa River, which lies between the two armies, was only a few dozen meters, with the Luo Family's bow and iron cannon range. It was possible to conduct a cover-type shooting of the Kitashiga Family's army on the other river beach.

After hearing the order to shoot on the other side, Shiga Kendu also decisively ordered to shoot against the other side.

"Archer, shoot me!"

"Swish..."

"Bang bang bang..."

So, the two sides started fighting directly across the river surface dozens of meters, and dense clusters of arrows shot interlaced in the river surface. The sound of iron cannons was mixed with the sound of shooting.

However, the number of archers in the Kitashiga family is not only small, but also the types of bows and arrows used are uneven, and the power is completely impossible to compare with the ranged weapons of the Luo family on the opposite side. From the river surface, the west bank completely gained the upper hand. The rain of arrows blocked the sky like locusts, like countless light spots suddenly burst out, and the powerful attack power created a place of death on the river beach on the east bank.

"Ah! Ah..."

At this time, Shiga Kendu was already rolling on the ground in a mess in order to avoid the feather arrows shot from the opposite side. When Yujiao saw his soldiers being shot and then fell down, his heart was like a knife.

"Is this the strength of the Luo family?" He had always thought that his father was ambushed and killed by the Luo family in Zhuhou Kingdom, mainly because he was too careless. Now, after witnessing the strength displayed by the Luo family opposite, he finally realized that he underestimated the heroes in the world too much.

In fact, Shiga Kendu knew that according to the battle between ordinary wealthy families, this method of using rivers to block the invading enemies is completely correct. The only mistake is that the enemy he faces at this time is the military power of the Luo family.
