On the Luo family, Kakuma Ishisou, who served as the general for the first time, came out of the battle with Cong Saki Castle. While marching cautiously, he sent cavalry to investigate around him, especially focusing on the movements of the Naito family defenders in Katsuyama Castle.

But Takae Naito, who led his army to take the initiative to fight, had no idea of ​​concealing his whereabouts. He led an army of more than 2,000 people directly along the south bank of Houramuchuan under the city of Shengshan City to quickly approach the Luo family army, which also walked along the south bank of Houramuchuan.

After receiving the news of the movement of the Naito family's army, Kakukuma Ishisen immediately set up a camp on a nearby hillside called Huomiyama. Below the camp, there was a small flat river beach mixed with Huomiyama and Goraki River.

The army of the Luo family stationed on the mountain can look down at the paper river beach from a high place. If the Naito family wants to launch an impact on the Luo family, they must attack from the front of the river beach. Kakuma Shisou is preparing to fight the Naito family here.

Of course, in order to attract the other party to enter the battlefield he chose, Kakuma Shisen deliberately let the cavalry ambush behind Huojianshan, and then while the two armies were fighting, they went from the other one in the mountain to the rear of the Naito family army to block the rear of the Naito family army. If necessary, they also launched a charge against the rear of the Naito family, causing chaos in the Naito family army. And here he himself hid some of the troops in the mountains, causing the illusion that the Luo family army avoided fighting head-on with the Naito family army on the plain and defending the mountains to the death due to insufficient troops.

In the afternoon, after the Luo family army was able to rest for nearly half an hour, the Naito family army finally arrived in a dark way along the south bank of Houramuchuan.

"Is this what you call the Luo Family Army with extremely strong combat power? It seems a bit disappointing!" After seeing the shielding gates arranged in front of the Luo Family formation and the two trenches dug out temporarily, Takao Naito couldn't help but shook his head to a general beside him. Takao Naito was originally preparing to fight head-on with the Luo Family army with passion. But now he just saw that the other party actually set up a turtle formation that was defending his life. Takao Naito could not help but feel disappointed.

Following Naito Takashi was the important official of the Naito family, Katsumada Morinaga. He was the backbone of the family who supported Naito Takashi's faction. It was precisely because of his support that Naito Takashi was able to compete with his powerful uncle Naito Takaharu for the position of family governor. Of course, although both uncles and nephews were fighting for the position of family governor, there was no internal strife like other wealthy families. On the contrary, both attempted to win the support of everyone in the family with their foreign military achievements.

He won the position of family governor. So this time, after learning that the Luo family was invaded, Takasu Naito and Morinaga Katsumada rushed to fight so quickly. Because they were not worried that Takasu Naito would take the opportunity to drag their legs in the rear, but wanted to take the opportunity to obtain the Biaobing record recognized by everyone in the family in this battle. In fact, what both of them were even more worried was that after learning about the Luo family's invasion, Takasu Naito would also come and fight for military merits with them.

At this time, Katsumada Morinaga was also carefully looking at the formation of the Luo family on the hillside at the foot of the mountain. I saw that the front of the Luo family was indeed filled with arrow blocks, and two trenches were dug out. Behind the arrow blocks were bow-foot light teams, iron cannon teams, long-handled gun-foot light teams, etc. lined up the hillside in a semicircle. The main formation of Kakuma Shizong was surrounded by warriors holding flag seals, generals of each team, as well as Taigu magic snails that control the advance and retreat of the army, military metros, commanders, military pharmacists, etc. The main formation was also hung high in the Luo family's white-backed black eagle banner.

Of course, Katsumada Morinaga at the foot of the mountain naturally could not see so clearly. He only saw the arrangement in front of the Luo family's camp and the rough military force of the Luo family arranged on the hillside. The last thing left was the eagle flag.

"Lord, it depends on the situation that the Eagle of Fatty is not in the formation on the mountain. The main flag on the mountain is just an ordinary Luo family flag. The golden pattern main flag representing the Eagle of Fatty is not in the formation." Katsumada Morinaga finally concluded. If Masara Luo was not in the formation, Katsumada Morinaga would have increased his chances of winning.

"Since that's the case, then I might as well attack immediately." Takana Naito said immediately.

"Ah? Lord, after a round of marching, the soldiers were tired at this time? Why not take a rest first and then attack the mountain?" Katsumada Morinaga was startled by Takao Naito's decision and immediately advised.

"Hmph, the Ming Dynasty's military strategy says that fighting is courage. One move will decline again and then exhaust it. If the soldiers are allowed to rest, they will become lazy. If they are discovered by the enemy formation on the mountain, my family will not be able to be attacked by them. Besides, if you look carefully, there are not many enemies on the mountain. At this time, it is a good time to attack the mountain while the soldiers are still angry." Naito Takao said.

Naito Takae said this very well, but he ignored the intelligence of sending people to investigate the enemy before the war. In fact, during this period, many battles between the rich families ignored the application of more intelligence. Often, during wars, they directly pulled up a team of troops and set off, and then they fought directly after encountering them. This kind of battle has a very low intensity, and often fought a defeat (that is, few casualties). Therefore, many people in later generations have given them

This kind of war is called village fighting. This is a relatively backward and primitive fighting method. With the continuous development of Daming in the Warring States Period in various places, this type of war was gradually eliminated in the middle of the Warring States Period. Due to the need for war, people began to pay more attention to the use of intelligence, tactics, etc. The ridiculous thing is that Takae Naito not only talked about war on paper at this time, but also insisted on this old war method. Therefore, Katsumada Morinaga, who had rich practical experience, had to advise again:

"Lord, if you attack forcibly, it may cause great damage to the army. Even if our family defeated the Luo family's invasion this time, when the Luo family attacked again in the future, it would be difficult for us to resist!" This time, the more than 2,000 people they pulled out were really the military force gathered in the Naito family's territory. Once the losses were too large, it would be as Katsumada Morinaga said. It would cause the Naito family's strength to decline in a short period of time.

"Haha. Are you worried that the Luo family will continue to send troops to invade our family, right?" Naito Takae smiled slightly after hearing this. He was not worried about it at all. "Tell you the truth. At the beginning of the year, my family had already contacted the Sugi family in Fengqian Kingdom and other wealthy families who were resisting the invasion of the Luo family. Soon after, we would have jointly launched a counterattack against the Luo family. Humph, if it hadn't been for a series of ghost weather this year, there would have been another famine on the border of our territory, we would have gone out."

"Ah?" Katsumada Morinaga, who suddenly heard the news, opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Haha, I'm surprised. So now I'd better go down and organize the soldiers to prepare for the attack." Seeing Katsumada Morinaga's expression, Takao Naito's vanity felt great satisfaction, so he immediately said, "Hmph, when my father listened to the advice of that despicable guy in Tao Longfang last time, he actually gave up regaining the revenge of the Shiqi Castle and Guanmen Strait. Since my father couldn't do it, let me do it."

So at the urging of Takao Naito, the Naito family army, who had just arrived, immediately began to prepare to attack the mountain.

"Hey, the other party is actually preparing to attack first?" In the original formation of the Luo family on the hillside of Huojian Mountain, Akachi Nagari saw that the Naito family's military force was actually lined up in the river beach at the foot of the mountain, and immediately said in surprise. Just now, everyone was still debating whether to give the Naito family a fatal blow to the Naito family while the Naito family had just arrived and the soldiers were still tired and the camp was scattered. Now, the others took action first.

"Since the opponent attacks first, let's fight here first." Ander, the leader of the Iron Cannon Team, said immediately. At the end of last year, after joint review by the Military Pavilion and the Internal Affairs Pavilion and approval by Masayoshi, his standing iron cannon team had increased from the previous 200 to 400. This time he was preparing to use the Naito family as the flag sacrifice item for the newly established First Iron Cannon Team.

"The bow and arrow team you are in can also play." Seeing this, Luo Shingoro immediately asked for his order.

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll ask you two for it first." The terrain occupied by the Luo family army at this time is indeed the best terrain to exert the power of shooting weapons, so Kakuma Shisen would naturally approve the two's request.

"Dong!Dong!Dong!"

Not long after the Luo family army was preparing to fight, the Taigu in the Naito family's army at the foot of the mountain also sounded, and the Naito army began to attack the mountain.

Teams of guns were light, holding long spears, arranged in dense queues, Naito's commanders rode their horses between the teams and issued orders.

On the side of the Luo family's army, an iron cannon team composed of 400 people jumped into the two trenches and raised their guns to the soldiers of the Naito family who were aiming at the fast-moving advance. Five meters behind the light of the iron cannon were archers of thousands of people.

"Shoot." Seeing that the Naito family's army almost covered the entire river beach, they were swarming in. The Iron Cannon Team and the main general of the Bow and Arrow Team issued the order to shoot at the same time.

On the side of the iron cannon team, the iron cannon team, which was in the first trench, immediately opened fire. A row of iron cannon muzzles sprayed out flames, and the loud sound of iron cannon shooting echoed in the mountains. As the projectile was fired, a thick smoke filled the muzzle was then blown away by the mountain wind.

After one shot, the team of iron cannons were always ready to squat into the trenches immediately (avoiding being shot by the enemy's arrows, and avoid blocking the sight of the fellows behind them). Put the muzzle upwards, first use the push rod to clean the gunpowder residue in the gun chamber, then fill it with gunpowder and projectiles, then use an oak push rod to compact the projectile and gunpowder, and finally insert the ignited fuse into the fire hole.

The Naito family troops who were rushing towards the Luo Family Camp on the Huojian Mountain were immediately shocked by the first line of shooting from the Luo Family Iron Cannon Team. The soldiers of the Naito family, who were almost like targets, fell to the ground one after another. Seeing their companions nearby, they were killed by the invisible projectiles and the loud noise. The soldiers of the Naito family who had never seen such a large formation were suddenly in chaos.

At this time, the regular staff of the Iron Cannon Team in the second trench opened fire again. The loud noise and dead bodies completely defeated the courage of the Naito family's miscellaneous soldiers. What's even more fatal is that amid the rumbling iron cannons, thousands of Luo family archers also shot arrows like raindrops. Compared with the shooting speed of the Iron Cannon, the shooting speed of the bow and arrow was much faster. After the Iron Cannon Team conducted two rounds of shooting, the Arch and Arrow Team had already shot four rounds of arrow rain.

There were deadly projectiles in front of me who could not see the traces, and there was a rain of arrows pressing against the top of my head like a black cloud. On the river beach at the foot of the Fire Mountain, the bodies of Naito's soldiers were instantly covered.

With just two rounds of iron cannons, the Naito family's military force, as the first formation, was almost completely destroyed, and the military force behind was completely in chaos. Many feet abandoned their weapons and fled around.

“Woo woo woo woo…”

At this moment, a sound of magic snails sounded from the road where the Naito family had come before, and as they discovered a black tide of military force was coming to them.

"Our cavalry has arrived. Blow the snail horn to me, and the whole army will attack!" At this time, Kakukuma Shisen, who heard the snail horn, stood up and ordered excitedly.
Chapter completed!
