April 8, 1559 AD. In the second year of Echonro (1559 AD), in Kurusukawa, Kyushu Toyogoku Kingdom, the battle between the Luo family and the Sakai family, the Shimazu family and the Ito family is still going on.

"From the opposite to the front of our position... all the mountain roads are enemy soldiers and flags, and there may be at least 20,000..." Luo's Masatozong talked to himself, while climbing to the highest mountain on the position to observe the situation. At this time, the most common mountain mist in this season has disappeared.

"Haha! It looks like there are 20,000, but in fact it is only 30%. I am still so bored that I didn't expect the enemy to come and die." Fukuda Nobuki, who followed the Luo family Masato Sect, said with a smile.

"Haha!" Luo family Masajong smiled slightly when he heard this. Just as Fukuda Nobuki said, in the eyes of the Luo family generals, these behaviors of the other party were just a suspicion, which surprised the family. But this was just a cover. After all, when the other party came out of the Nanjiuzhou area, they were already closely monitored by the meticulous works hidden in the Nanjiuzhou area. Therefore, the Luo family generals actually had learned from the intelligence hall of our family from our family for a long time. No matter how quickly the other party dispatched reinforcements from the rear to support, it was impossible to present such a large-scale military force in front of them in such a short time. So, as the lord Zhengliang, who was in charge of the overall situation in the rear, pointed out incisively, all this was just the other party's trick.

However, even so, in the past few days, the two sides have fought over the positions he presided over before, which was quite tragic. There were thousands of casualties on the Luo family. Moreover, the Luo family is located in front of the five-level fences of the three positions in the front of the east bank of Kurusu River. They were destroyed by the other party several times. The most critical time, even the opponent's coalition almost broke through the fifth fence. Fortunately, the family was prepared for it to advance and attack. However, the damage of the family was really tragic. Even the three main generals of the three positions, Masatozo, and Masatozo Ueda, were injured one after another and forced to withdraw from the battlefield. Even the two generals of Asakura Sect, who came to support the first time, Fukuda Nobuki, was also injured and had to withdraw from the battlefield.

At this time, the front-line positions were hosted by Yoshida Shigemasa, Takeuchi Kuromori, Asakura Sodi, Karai Tongnaga, Hiroaka Takasuke, Kawada Yoshiro and others, while Aguda and others were hosted by Kurusugawa as the main position of the West Kitan family, and the Lord Masaru Ryo was the main position of the rear as the general. As the wounded and Fukuda Nobuki, because of their minor injuries, they returned to the front position again after treatment and became the main logistics general in the rear position.

"Oh!" Just as Masazong of Luo's family and Nobuki Fukuda were talking in a simple awning on the top of the mountain, the enemy camp at the foot of the mountain suddenly shouted.

"Oh, it's coming again." Luo's Masatozo put on a pergola and narrowed his eyes. Obviously, the enemy was about to attack again.

Then the gunshots of "Bangbang..." were deafening again. Looking from the top of the mountain, the enemy's flags rushed towards the position again like floods that broke through the dam.

"Whale waves shake the earth, and wolf smoke scatters in the sky."

"What did the sir?" Fukuda Nobuki asked, "What did you say?"

"It's nothing. I'm talking about the momentum of the enemy's attack, which is like a flood and a beast. Although it is our enemy, its momentum is extremely spectacular." After that, Luo's Masato Sect once again moved his sight to the direction of the enemy's formation in the distance.

At this time, several fog belts were surrounded by the enemy's original formation - no, that was not the fog belt, but white smoke, which should be the white smoke of the iron cannon. Frightened by the flock, the birds rushed into the air from the woods and mountains near the battlefield, flew into the distance, and away from the battlefield.

Speaking of the enemy's iron cannons, Masamune Luo couldn't help but remember that in the meeting of his family before going to war with the enemy, the lord Masayora had emphasized that the Shimazu family also made its own iron cannons, and at the same time, they bought a lot of iron cannons from the Ming pirates entrenched on the coast of Satsuma. Even during this battle with the other side, the Shimazu family was likely to hire these Ming pirates to secretly participate in the war, so the generals of the Luo family were asked to be careful of the Shimazu family's iron cannon attack.

During the previous battle, the iron cannons in the opponent's formation did bring a lot of threats to the Luo family, and caused a lot of casualties to the Luo family. Although the number of iron cannons in the opponent's formation this time was not large, and the range seemed to be not as powerful as the iron cannons of the opponent, the shooting accuracy of the iron cannons of the opponent was very good, which led to many of the regulars in the formation being shot by the opponent. According to the information from our intelligence cabinet, the iron cannons in the opponent's formation were likely to be the Ming pirates under the banner of Shimazu family.

This made the Masato Sect of Luo feel strange. As far as he knew, the Ming pirates entrenched in the coastal areas of the Satsuma Kingdom seemed to be led by a guy named Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi had signed a trade agreement with our family and agreed not to intervene in the battle between our family and the powerful Kyushu. So why did the other party suddenly allow his subordinates to be hired by the Shimazu family?

Just as Masatosen Luo thought, this time, some of Wang Zhi's pirates of more than 200 people did participate in the joint battle between Shimazu family. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Luo family, these people also put on local clothes and equipment from the Shimazu family. But what they did not expect was that Masara had always been very concerned about the trends of the pirates led by Wang Zhi and others. Shortly after these people joined the reinforcements of the Shimazu family to support the Sakai family, they were monitored locally by the Luo family intelligence staff. They learned about this situation and quickly reported to Masara. Masara immediately sent an envoy to Wang Zhi's fleet to negotiate.

However, before the Luo family envoy sent by Masarara arrived at Wang Zhi to negotiate on the coast of Satsuma Country of Kyushu, the Shimazu family, as the employer, was annoyed by these Ming pirates.

"Damn it, these Ming pirates with only gold nuggets in their eyes." In the position of Shimazu family on the east coast of Kurusugawa, Tadaro Ijiyuan scolded angrily. Just now, the retainers came to report that more than 200 Ming pirates in the rear refused his order to go out. It is obvious that these Ming pirates suffered dozens of casualties in the previous battle with the Luo family. So now they simply hid in the rear and did not participate in the hand-to-hand combat with the Luo family. Although these Ming pirates are brave in fighting, and often use iron cannons, their iron cannon accuracy is very good. But after all, they came to participate in the war because they collected a lot of gold nuggets from the Shimazu family, rather than to die. So after discovering that the enemy Luo family was a hard bone, they simply hid in the rear and provided support for iron cannon shooting in the battlefield, instead of participating in the hand-to-hand combat in the front battlefield.

"Hey!" After thinking through the calculations of these Ming pirates, Tadaro Yijiyuan couldn't help but sigh, and then thought to himself. "Even so, he had to open a bloody road in the positions arranged by the Luo family. Otherwise, this time, the coalition forces formed by the three parties, the Sabuki family and the Ito family would definitely not be able to expel the Luo family army that came to invade."

"But, is this possible?" When I recalled the battle between the two armies over the past few days, Tadaro Ijiyuan couldn't help but talk to himself. In this way, Tadaro Ijiyuan continued to organize a large army to gradually surge towards the Luo family's position with a complicated mood. At the same time, the nearby Sabuki family and Iton family army also began to march towards the Luo family's position.

Soon, the three armies and two armies were less than Siwu Town from the Luo family's position. The soldiers could no longer hold back and rushed to shoot arrows.

"The enemy is still far away. Don't let it go!"

Tadaro Ijiyuan got off his horse and said with a spear. He had been fighting for the Shimazu family for more than 20 years. Looking back, it was rare to live to this day. I thought that in the war between the Shimazu family and the Satsuma country, he would follow the first leader of the Shimazu family, but unexpectedly, under the leadership of the former Shimazu family Tadaroyo and the current Shimazu family Takahisa, he had been able to defeat the enemy, but this time, he might die for the Shimazu family. Life is really unpredictable.

However, even so, he still had no fear and even laughed occasionally. He firmly believed that after his death, the Shimazu family would hold a grand funeral for him and sing praises.

"Bangbang", a few more smoke rose from the feet of Takaro Yijiyuan, and several bullets roared across his ears, and a feather arrow almost shot him. As the coalition forces continued to approach, the Luo family defending the side immediately began to fire iron cannons and bows. At the same time, a rain of arrows fired by the Luo family archers also fell in the sky. Under the shooting of the Luo family's iron cannons and bows, soldiers from the three coalition forces fell to the ground from time to time.

"kill!"

Under the command of Tadaro Ijiyuan, the Shimazu family also launched a counterattack, and then fired arrows like locusts toward the Luo family's position. The only dozen iron cannons were also gushing fire in the opposite direction. After several fierce battles, although the frontier positions of the Luo family had not been captured by their own coalition forces, the fences and trees in the opponent's position were damaged to varying degrees. This also caused the defenders to lose a lot of defensive barriers, so that they could naturally lead their own arrows and iron cannon projectiles into the opponent's position, causing a lot of casualties.

When the vanguard of the three-way coalition forces forced the Luo Family's position twenty or thirty distance away, the soldiers of the three-way were immediately excited because the Luo Family's position was right in front of them. In an instant, as if they had heard someone's order, they spontaneously gathered together seventy or eighty people, and then rushed towards the Luo Family's position regardless of their own wits.

"kill--"

"kill--"

The shouts of killing from both sides of the offense and defense were hard to distinguish between each other in the clear sky, but it only lasted for a moment. None of the soldiers who rushed up as the offensive side were still standing.

The sun was already rising very high, and the sun was scorching hotly on Takara Ijiyuan's helmet. But he was still holding a nine-foot spear and still standing still.

The second team rushed from the right side of Ijiyuan Chuanlang to the Luo family's army again. At this time, the arrows were shot all over and the iron cannon was hoarse.

I don't know the situation on the battlefield at this time, but did the lord Takahiro Shima in the rear see it... When Tadaro Ijiyuan suddenly remembered this, the third suicide squad rushed to the Luo family's position again. It was a suicide battle, and the howlings of the enemy and us quickly drowned his thoughts.

"Sir!" A retainer rushed from behind, "all the men have already come out."

Hearing the report from his retainer, Zhonglang Yijiyuan held the spear in his hand and lowered his waist.

"Haman Bodhisattva, please see the last moment of Ijiyuan Genshiro Tachiro." After saying that, Ijiyuan Tsingro rushed straight to the Luo family's position with a spear in his hand. Several scattered guards and retainers followed him - less than twenty people were already there.

It was around 4 o'clock in the morning, and noon was approaching, and the new green leaves reflected the brilliance of the sun.

At the same time when Ijiyuan Tadaro led the Shimazu family army to the Luo family's position, in the mountains and forests near Ito's Matsuo Castle in the Hinata-ko-ku, Minami Kyushu, a team of people were quietly resting.

Among this team, three people were sitting around a flat ground in the forest, carefully looking at a detailed map spread on the ground, and discussing it in a low voice from time to time. If the guards of Matsuo Castle were here, they would have suddenly discovered that this detailed map was the topographic map of Matsuo Castle and the city fortress. This detailed map was a work of the Luo Family Information Pavilion for years in Hinata.
