Chapter 644 A tasteless rib

Outside the Takagi Castle on the eastern coast of the Ono River, Kyushu Toyokoku, the Kitashiga family.

At this time, the little divine house Zong Zhan shook the white fan and just finished reciting the pre-war congratulations. Zhengliang immediately stood up and then reached into the misty rain.

Shortly after everyone inspected Gaocheng, it started to rain lightly in the sky. It was a light rain that was almost as light as a wool. This was a common weather in the mountains of Jiuzhou in early spring. For the soldiers from Kyushu who had been accustomed to this kind of weather, this did not have any impact on them at all. Even if others who were not native to Kyushu and lived in Kyushu for so long, they had already become accustomed to this kind of weather.

The foggy light rain was still falling slowly. Masayora also held a military fan in his hand. This was what the shogun had just asked the Luo family's family, who was stationed in Kyoto not long ago to send to Masayora, to pursue a Mori-taka, mainly thanking the Luo family for their support for the shogunate. Masayora brought him by his side mainly to highlight his identity. This has a role in both ordinary Luo family members and other ministers.

Shimazu Yushiro Yoshihiro held his head up and stood behind Masaru with his black eagle horse seal in his arms. Masaru opened the military fan with a cold expression and plucked the raindrops. Honda Masaru made a gesture with confidence, and the messenger next to him immediately raised his chest and blew the conch horn.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

"Kill, kill, kill!"

With the sound of the magic snail, the Luo family army, which had long gathered outside Gaocheng, was shouting Xiao Sha's slogan while preparing to start attacking Gaocheng.

"Prepare!"

"shooting!"

"Bang, bang, bang..." With the order of the leader of the Iron Cannon Team, Prussia, the iron cannon footers hiding in the temporary awning, decisively ignited the ignition line of the iron cannon. The projectiles of the iron cannon were shot out from the iron cannon barrel and shot towards the Kitashiga family soldiers on the high city wall with an irregular movement line. After years of research by the Luo Family Workshop, the problem of the iron cannon ignition line of the iron cannon was finally solved. The ignition line with cotton as the main raw material was mass-produced. At this time, iron cannons produced by other people on their own were already appeared in Satsuma, Kyoto and other areas in Japan, but at this time, the Luo Family was one step ahead of the technology.

"Shoot!" Following the attack of the iron cannon, the bow and arrow shooting team drawn out from each formation.

"Swoosh swish swish swish..." In an instant, a dark rain of arrows fell from the sky.

"Damn it. A courageless man, you have the ability to approach the city wall to kill him." Shiga Kendu, who was originally encouraging the morale of the soldiers guarding the city on the city wall, was unfortunately shot into the right arm by a scattered rain of arrows during the first attack of the Luo family. He had to curse the Luo family's behavior of attacking only from afar outside the city and not getting close to the city, while regaining the city under the escort of the relative samurai for treatment.

Yes, Zhengliang is just now attacking Gaocheng with all his might, but secretly, he has another target of attack.

"Heihachi! Let's start."

After witnessing the ranged attack team attacking Takagi for several rounds, Masara immediately said to Toshino Isono, who was standing beside him.

"As for the order, lord! Ensure the completion of the task." After receiving the order, Isono Shin-ho immediately bowed and bowed to Masaruto, and then quickly walked towards the cavalry team that had been on standby not far away.

"Go on the horse! Go off!" Isono Toshima, who skipped his feet and jumped onto the war horse, shouted to the cavalry team behind him.

"Set out! Go!" Akatsuki Hiroki behind him, and Tao Nakamoto also echoed the cavalry and led the standing cavalrymen while shouting. So the entire cavalry team was divided into several groups and began to sweep across the areas near Gaocheng. This was the task assigned by Masara Leo to the cavalry team. It is necessary to rush all the local leaders from nearby to home in a short time and impose a curfew on the local area. The curfew is not lifted for a moment, and no irrelevant personnel are allowed outdoors, otherwise they will be killed directly. Masara Leo did this to clear all the tyrants in various territories east of Gaocheng, so that these tyrants will become blind.

One hour later, after Gaocheng was attacked several times, and the cavalry team also sent people to report that the area within two miles had been cleared, Zhengliang immediately said to the Kyuubin Town, which had been standing anxiously near Zhengliang:

"Sir, it's time to light the fire."

After hearing this, Xiuwang Town Ze immediately smiled bitterly, and then slowly walked to the firewood pile that had been stacked in the distance. Several logistics peasants guarding here immediately began to sprinkle tinder oil into the firewood pile. After everything was ready, one of the peasants lit a torch and handed it to Xiuwang Town Ze.

Jiuwang Town took the torch blankly and looked up at Gao Cheng, who was still being attacked by the Luo family in the distance, with a complicated expression. Just a few hours ago, he was under house arrest by the Luo family, and was received by the fat eagle, the governor of the Luo family. Then he went through repeated interrogation. Finally, he directly pointed out in the Luo family that if he did not cooperate, he would massacre his subordinates. He finally surrendered.

Before Masarata took the situation on the border of Fenghou, he had a detailed investigation into the situation on the border of Fenghou. For example, the Otomo family's defense of the previously burnt bridge connecting the east and west banks of the upper reaches of the Ono River was difficult to send people to sneak in secret and forcibly seize the bridge. Because there were too few people infiltrating, it was impossible to protect the bridge before the Luo family's troops arrived, so he asked the logistics team to prepare materials for building rafts before he left the battle, which was to prevent the Luo family from building rafts quickly once the bridge was burned.

In addition, he also investigated the Kuiwang family and his family's governor, the Kuiwang Town. As the border area between Fenghou Kingdom and Asu County, Fenghou Kingdom, it should have been valued. Moreover, with the Kuiwang family's only 300 subordinates and less than 50 military forces, it is entirely possible that it will be annexed by wealthy families such as the Shiga family. Why has the Kuiwang family survived to this day?

The main reason is that the territory of the Kyūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūūū

Especially after the Luo family occupied the Feihou Kingdom, the territory of the Kyuubun family became even more useless. The reason why the Kyuubun family did not confiscate the Kyuubun family was probably the Kyuubun family as a warning area for the Luo family. In fact, Kyuubun Town also knew his situation, so when the Luo family army was approaching, when the rulers and retainers asked not to participate in the war, he simply surrendered directly to the Luo family. Otherwise, just relying on the resistance of the Kyuubun family on the dangerous road along the way, the advancement of the Luo family's army would delay a lot of time.

Of course, it was precisely because the territory was too barren that the Kuroshima family was good at farming, and they were also very kind to retain the people. Historically, Kazunoshima Shinnoshi's son Kazunoshima was highly valued by Otoyoshi Town due to his outstanding agricultural and civil talents, and his official positions even reached the Central Affairs Office Shaosuke and Mikawa Shuo. Of course, the official positions during this period had become Daibakai. In order to raise funds for the shogunate and receive support from the daimyo in various places, the 13th generation of the shogunate general Ashima Yoshiki and his later successor Ashima Yoshiaki began to sell official positions in large quantities, and even the same position was sold to several people.

The current territorial taxes implemented by Xiuwang Town are even smaller than those of the Luo family. It is precisely because of this kind of benevolent government that the father and son of Xiuwang Town have been loved by the people of the people, and on the other hand, Xiuwang Town also attaches great importance to their leaders and retainers, so Zhengliang used his weakness to force him to cooperate with the next series of strategies of the Luo family.

Outside Gaocheng City, the afternoon light rain had receded a long time ago, and then the sun showing its face was about to set off. The sunset shone on the face of Jiuwang Zhenze, making him look very conspicuous inside and outside Gaocheng City.
