Kitakyushu Fengqian State Xia Mao County.

This is a small hill outside the castle of Ichinodo Castle in Shimao County. Two men dressed like others nearby were sitting together, eating black and astringent food in their mouths. These were obviously scorched mice.

Around them, there were more than a dozen ragged men. Their hair was scattered and their faces were dirty. It seemed that they had not washed for many days. The two sunken eyes looked out with faint light, like ghost fires in the dark, and their mouths were constantly swallowing the rat meat in their hands. Although most people would not eat these things during this period, they are now at a point where they are about to starve to death, and they still have so much to care about.

On the outside of them were hundreds of women, children and elderly people, and their fate was much more miserable. They had to endure hunger and wait for these people to give away some food.

Among the two men, one of the seventeen or eight years old, whispered to a young man in his twenties beside him: "Sir, the time seems to be almost done. Look, are we going to add another fire?"

The young man called an adult also had a lot of dust on his face at this time, covering up his true appearance. After listening to the younger young man's words, the young man also frowned and looked at the rat meat in his hand, and then replied in a low voice: "According to the lord's instructions before he set off, our army will also arrive in these days."

"Sir, since that's the case, we should act immediately." The young man said immediately, then he looked up at the surroundings and said with concern in his eyes: "Sir, as long as we are scrambling the people in the crowd, we will definitely be able to surround the city. At that time, the defenders in the city will definitely be attracted by us. Then their attention to the side of the border of our family will decrease. However, sir, this matter must be as soon as possible! Otherwise, when these leaders riot, they will no longer be controlled by us, and even us will be in danger by that time."

The young people's concerns were not alarmist. When they first arrived here, hundreds of people gathered here. But now, there are thousands of people. With more people, various small groups will naturally appear. Their group is the largest group with hundreds of people. The others are mostly small teams with dozens of people, but most of them are men. Men who can go out to fight, so overall their strength is not strong. But once they unite, it will be different. As more and more refugees gathered, there are fewer and fewer foods to find around them. Small animals such as mice and snakes are hard to find. Some people have started to eat bark or even soil.

Once food is completely lacking, it is time for everyone to completely lose their minds. Hunger can really change a person's mind! The family of young people was destroyed because of famine. If it weren't for being taken as a servant by the Aso family when they were dying, he would have starved to death with his family. Therefore, he was also very clear about the fear, irritability and even loss of mind caused by hunger. The young people were worried about this situation. Once this happens, they would not be able to guide the movements of refugees. At that time, these refugees would probably fight each other first. And they, who have always been the largest group of people, will naturally be the target of other refugees. By then, they will really make the fire big and burn themselves.

The young man's words immediately aroused the young people's concerns. If the young man hadn't said this, he really didn't realize this problem. As the lord's closest people, his mission was only to protect the lord's safety and do things according to the lord's orders. This time, he was appointed by the lord and led more than ten young people to sneak into the Xiamao County area in the southeast of Fengqian Kingdom, with the purpose of mixing among the refugees, waiting for an opportunity to incite the refugees and creating chaos for the local tyrants. This time they would come here, and it was also under the advice of the young people.

As the young man said, according to the time given by the lord, it is estimated that the army of our family will definitely officially launch the Forbidden Kingdom in these days. If they could create some chaos on the side of Ichinodo Castle located in Shimomao County, they would naturally attract the garrison on the side of Ichinodo Castle near the border with Tobidden Kingdom, so that the garrison on the other side would be relaxed. Now that the young man said this, he immediately realized that it was time to incite the many refugees blocked under Ichinodo Castle again.

I think it was their luck, because shortly after they arrived here, the city lord Noi Kenyuki Noi, the city lord of Ichinodo Castle was summoned by Nohakaya, the Nohaka family, to discuss and deal with the issue of refugees in the territory. Only two frivolous guys, Noi Kenya and Mauru Kenya, were left in the city to defend the city. If Noi Kenya was here, he would definitely not have done a foolish thing to kill the troubled refugees. The actions of Noi Kenya and Mauru Kenya undoubtedly ignited a fire in the hearts of these refugees who had long been dissatisfied with these wealthy lords. But this was just a small fire, but if the young people and others were incited, even a spark could start a prairie fire.

So, under the secret instigation of more than a dozen people including young people, thousands of refugees began to gather under the city of Ichinogo Castle and began to loudly demand that the defenders of Ichinogo Castle open the city passage to the border of Tungou Kingdom and let them go to Tungou Kingdom to make a living.

"These damn unruly people! The command is to guard the city's military force. If they dare to step closer to the city wall, they will shoot them to death." Ye Yijianfang, as the acting city lord, immediately ordered. This time, seeing so many refugees gathered under the city, he did not dare to open the city gate and go out to face these refugees.

"The refugees are coming in a fierce manner. I am afraid that relying solely on the guards on the side of the city gate on the south side may not be able to suppress these refugees." Bairu Kenzaki, who was standing beside him, reminded him at this time.

"Then transfer the guards from the north to the south gate temporarily. I will suppress these refugees as soon as possible no matter what." Ye Yi Kenfang ordered. It is estimated that his father Ye Yi Ken will return in the next few days. If his father's team is blocked by these refugees from outside the city, he will definitely be punished. Although he is now the heir of the designated family governor at home, he will not dare to disappoint his father before he took the position of the family governor for a day. Especially at this time, he still has two younger brothers behind him.

Ichinodo Castle is a castle built in a canyon connecting the border between Shimao County of Toyoko and Hita County of Toyoko, so it has two gates facing the border between Toyoko and Toyoko. After several generations of construction by Noi family, Ichinodo Castle at this time is like a blockage to divide the entire canyon into two. If merchants want to pass this castle, they must pass through a passage included in Ichinodo Castle Outer Maru.

Just as Ye Yijianfang transferred the guards facing the Fenghou Kingdom border to the city gate to the south to be responsible for suppressing the riots of refugees, a small caravan with more than ten people happened to come to the Dashou Kingdom border.

"Who?" asked several archers who were in charge of guarding the Dashou Gate immediately.

It is estimated that they have not been attacked for a long time. Moreover, along the way before Ichinogo Castle, there were several checkpoints responsible for alerting the movements of the border on the Toyoko Kingdom. Since there is no warning message from the border, these guards seemed a little relaxed at this time and did not realize that because of the blockade of the Luo family, there has been no caravan passing by for a long time. Even as the caravans are constantly approaching, several people are still talking about the refugees on the other side of the village. Compared to those lords, because they are relatives of the lord, even if they encounter drought, they can still have food at home for the time being.

"Stop, stop." At this time, the two gazes standing in front stopped drinking at the small caravan that had already arrived in front of Dashou's door. But just as they stopped drinking, the two gazes dressed in front suddenly pulled out the sword and pierced the heads and necks of the two gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the gazes of the throats, and they soon died of breath.

"Kill!" Before the rest of Ye Yijia, who was responsible for guarding the city gate, could react easily, the team of more than a dozen merchants had already drawn out their own swords and killed them.

"Murder! Killing! It's amazing! Come on! The enemy is siegeing the city! Hurry, go and report to the master of the city guard!" Several Noyi family guarding the city wall saw a large group of people dropping off several companions at the Dashou Gate. Almost at the same time, they screamed in horror and crawled towards Honmaru to report.

"Kill!" At this time, the Luo family army pretending to be a merchant had cut down all the guards in front of the Dashou gate, and then pushed open the Dashou gate. Kinisha Masato Naoshita, who had been ready in the distance, immediately ordered. They had quietly taken down the small mountain village of Noi family who was used as a warning along the way, and secretly lurked outside the city of Ichinodo Castle. However, Ichinodo Castle was like a portal embedded in the canyon. If it was a strong attack, the defenders in the city could fully strike the siege army through the high position of the city wall, so they could not take it down in a hurry. At this moment, the Luo family members found that the guards on the city wall suddenly decreased, so Kinisha Masato Naoshita realized that their opportunity had come. After discussing with the generals, a team of posing as a merchant approached the city gate. This was the scene just now.

With the order from Kinish Masaru, a thousand Luo family army began to pour into Uemaru in Ichinodo Castle. In addition to dealing with the defenders of Uemaru, some Luo family soldiers also began to kill Ninomaru. In a moment, Ninomaru's inside and outside immediately became lively, and the voices of crying and calling for their parents became one after another.

"Kill..." Gong Wen Chongzhong also climbed to the Qianguan gate of Honmaru at this time, and slashed over with a knife. He broke the door with a crack. At this time, two Changfangzu and Xiaoliang came up behind him and began to hit the wooden door fiercely. The wooden door was instantly knocked open. Several people following the Luo Family Changfangzu immediately slashed out several Taidao. Xiaoliang, who was hiding at the door, was chopped down and fell to the ground.

Gongwen Chongzhong was extremely brave. After entering Honmaru, he killed a defender's city with one knife, kicked over another person, and shot out several spears that came to intercept. Seeing that he was unstoppable, the soldiers guarding the city at the door retreated one after another, and the Luo family army behind him rushed in as he took the opportunity to rush in.

"Stop them!" At this time, after suddenly receiving the news that the enemy was attacked from the north, Ye Yi Jianfang, who rushed over, shouted. However, most of the defenders on the North City had just been transferred to the south, and the number of soldiers was not large. In addition, the Luo family army was in full force and after several people were killed in succession, they had been scared to death. Even if Ye Yi Jianfang came to help in person, they were constantly retreating.

"You..." Noi Kenya was furious when he saw this and was ready to continue to boost morale. At this moment, with a "whip" sound, a feather arrow shot straight. Noi Kenya, who had no time to react, was shot through his neck without even having time to scream. The one who shot this arrow was Takeuchi Kusaki, who was temporarily transferred to the third army to participate in the strategy of the Fengqian Kingdom.

"The city lord is dead!", "The young master is dead..."

As Noi Kenfang was suddenly killed, the morale of the Noi family's defenders suddenly declined, and they retreated to some of the defensive strongholds in Honmaru, preparing to defend the dead. Some of the defenders simply threw down their weapons and surrendered.

"Sir, Watanabe Teng and Tetsusuke have already captured Uchimaru's Daishou Gate. They found that a large number of refugees were gathering outside the city at this time. These refugees were asking to open the gate and let them pass. The two adults sent their subordinates to ask for their disposal opinions." Just as Kinisha Masaru, who was staying in the rear to coordinate the battle, stepped into Uchimaru's Daishou Gate in Ichinogo Castle, a slight person came to report the report.

"How many refugees are there?" Kinoshita Masaru asked immediately.

"There are at least thousands of people." Changbei reported immediately.

"Thousands?" Kinishun Masaru was also startled by hearing such a large number of refugees. So after thinking for a while, he immediately said, "Put out the banner of our family and promised the refugees outside the city that they would definitely provide relief after they took the city."

With such a large number of refugees, Kinisho Masaru really dared not open the city gate and put them in. After all, the city was still fighting fiercely at this time, and after putting refugees in, it would only affect the attack of our family. Although the structure of Ichinogo Castle at this time was just to surround the original passage in the valley. Uemaru that formed Ichinogo Castle, as long as the Luo family sent someone to guard Ninomaru after putting refugees in Uemaru, the impact of these refugees on the Luo family's siege can be minimized, but for safety reasons, it is better not to put them in.

But they cannot be treated toughly, otherwise if these refugees also hit the Uemaru Castle Gate in the south when the family was fighting fiercely with the defenders in the city, it would be troublesome. So Kinishma Masaru would have made a slogan of placing the Luo family's banner and making a slogan to help them. Besides, the reason for the decrease in the guards in the north this time is probably inseparable from the gathering of these refugees in the south, so I was grateful to them at that time. After all, these refugees will also be the leader of the Luo family's family in the future, so it is also good to take this opportunity to win over the people's hearts.

Just as Kinish Masaru was dealing with the refugees outside the Nanmeng Castle, the Luo family army, who had already entered the Honmaru, was gradually pressing towards the last stronghold of the defenders in the city.

"Sir, let's break through with a hanging basket from behind. I need to send someone to Nagaiyan Castle and Shirami Castle to the news of the Luo family's invasion!" On the wall of the Honmaru on the south side, I saw a samurai who had no hope of guarding him and grabbed the man who wanted to rush forward to kill him. The invasion of the Luo family was too sudden. After all, it was approaching winter at this time, and the weather was getting colder. It was already September and October that were the most suitable for combat. Besides, there was drought in various places this year, and the wealthy and powerful celebrities in various places were busy with their own disaster relief, but they did not expect that the Luo family would leave their territory and ignore the disaster and launch a surprise attack.

"Break through? No, send someone to light the Tianshou Pavilion and use wolf smoke to warn the distance. I believe reinforcements will arrive soon. Just kill for a moment..." At this time, Masaru Kenzaki, who was having an arrow on his shoulder and was suffering from a slight pain, had already made up his mind to guard Honmaru to the end after learning that his good friend Noi Kenban had died. So he waved the long sword and rushed towards the Luo family army that was constantly climbing up from the city wall, regardless of the samurai's obstruction.

However, at this time, the gate of the Honmaru had already been opened, and a large number of Luo Family soldiers rushed into the Honmaru. There were only more than 600 defenders in the Ichinogo Castle. When the Luo Family was attacking the city, they were concentrated on guarding the city walls on the south because of the order of Kenya. As a result, a surprise attack from the north was not only unstoppable on the way forward because the defenders were transferred, but also cut off the connection between the defenders in the city and the soldiers in the city, which also caused chaos in the defense. For a moment, some of them rushed to the north wall to fight the Luo Family's military power, and some of them still rushed to the south city according to the previous order. In this way, after losing the geographical advantage of the city fort as a defense, they were even more divided and eroded in the situation where the number of people and combat capabilities were not as good as the Luo Family's military power.

Under such circumstances, Bailiu Kenzhen's final struggle was also futile. In the end, he was stabbed into a horse's nest under the siege of several Luo family and his head was cut down. However, his counterattack before his death also allowed several retainers to burn the Tianshou Pavilion in the city before he died. Suddenly, the rolling smoke rose directly into the dusk sky, dyeing the blood-red sky into ink black.

But Masasaki Masaki didn't know that even if other castles in the Nohaka family realized through this wolf smoke that their borders had been invaded, they would not have had much impact on the strategy of the Kinoshita Masanao's army.
