Chapter 344: The Disappearing Bear
The tenth year of the Astronomical Tenth, 1541 May 13th afternoon.
The weather was not good, and in the afternoon, it suddenly started to rain heavily. Everything around was shrouded in hazy mist and rain. The roads also became muddy, especially those mountain roads, which seemed extremely slippery.
Just this afternoon, Masayoshi made a major decision, which was to support the Takasakiji family.
If the ranking is based on the danger level of the Luo family, the Takazakuji family is undoubtedly the first. Masayoshi has always wanted to remove the enemy that Luo family dominated the fat. However, at this time, it is not the time when the Takazakuji family is destroyed. Because the Luo family needs a shield that can stand in front and resist the army of Shaoer Family. At this moment, the Takazakuji family is undoubtedly the best candidate for this shield.
The Luo family rose too fast, so fast that it did not even stand firm. Therefore, it took half a year or even a year to gain a foothold before facing the coalition forces organized by the Shao Er family. If the Shao Er family alone had the strength of the Shao Er family, the Luo family would not be afraid at all. And in a few years, after the other powerful people gradually got rid of the influence of the Shao Er family, the Shao Er family could not afford such a coalition force to besiege the Luo family. Unfortunately, the Luo family rose a little too early and a little hastily, and the Shao Er family currently has the influence of ordering each company.
Of course, such a rapid rise was not something Zhengliang could have expected. History always had its own laws of moving forward. What Zhengliang could do was just to seize the opportunities and move forward step by step. He was unable to change history. Therefore, the sudden rise of the Luo family can be said to be the process of history that was being promoted, and Zhengliang was just the helmist.
Since the important officials were absent, Masara's decision to support the Takasagi family did not attract objections from the subordinate officials.
But the heavy rain was too heavy, so great that the army could not move forward at all. The Luo family army had been stranding in place for two miles, and it only started to set off on the morning of May 16, 1541, the tenth year of the tenth year of the First Tenth year of the World.
The army braved the light rain and stepped on the muddy mountain road, first around the Sugu Castle of Hirai's family, and then walked along the coast of the Hexaki River, where the river had soared several feet.
"Your Highness, Lu Ka Castle in front has been occupied by the Oda family and the Takagi family." Ah Li, who was responsible for investigating information in front, reported back and forth at this time.
"What?" Zhengliang was shocked. Even if he was suddenly attacked, he would not have been captured so quickly.
"It is reported that the Oda family and the Takagi family took the Takazoji Sumiya family and the Takazoji family's ranks to persuade the surrender. The defenders in the city panic because they were not subject to the general's constraints. The Oda family and the Takagi family seized such an opportunity and rushed into the city in one fell swoop in the rain and captured the city." Ah Li continued to report.
"Oh, time is not waiting for me!" Zhengliang sighed: "I'll order the army to rest on the spot and send people to sneak into the city to investigate the news."
With Zhengliang's order, the army stationed quietly.
In the afternoon, information came one after another.
First, there is news about Lu Kashi Castle that is closest to. As Ahri reported earlier, Lu Kashi Castle was already occupied by the army of the Oda family and the Takagi family yesterday.
Then, the most shocking news was that Saga Mizue Castle was captured, or Takazoji Kazuo made the same choice as recorded in history and chose to surrender. In fact, Takazoji Kazuo had no other choice. After the troops who had left the city to join the army were controlled by the Shaoer family, there were not many guards left in Mizue Castle, and even if they were to stick to it, they would sooner or later fall under the attack of an army of more than 5,000 people outside.
So he finally chose to surrender.
What about Shao Er Dongshang? He also agreed with the practices of Raizhou Raizhou and Sekiri Kamiyo and others, and allowed them to massacre the Takazakuji tribe in Shuijiang City. In addition, the Takazakuji Sumiya Sumiya, the Takazakuji tribe who had been killed, and the Takazakuji tribe and the Takazakuji tribe were brutally killed. This time, what is different from history is that the Takazakuji tribe who escaped from history, who was injured in his leg, failed to escape, and was eventually recruited by the samurai of Raizhou.
"Are you still a step late?" Masara stood on a hillside. Looking at Lu Jicheng in the distance, muttering to himself.
Then Masarae issued an order to retreat. With the demise of the Takasara tribe, it would be a matter of time before the remaining unsuccessful Qingqi City surrendered, and the Luo family rescued the Takasara tribe also lost its meaning. Therefore, Masarae issued an order to retreat without hesitation. Otherwise, if he stayed here, he might be blocked by the Hirai family who had reacted. If the people from Lu Jicheng were smarter, then Luo family would be in danger of being intercepted by others.
With the demise of the Takazaoji family, the Luo family will face the army called by the Shaoer family alone.
"Your Highness, you have found a pursuer behind you." At this time, Ah Li came to report.
"Chasing soldiers?" In such weather, there were people coming to pursue him, and Masayoro couldn't help but be surprised.
"It seems that it is the military force in Lu Ji City." Ah Li said.
"Hmph, send the order to speed up!" Zhengliang snorted and gave the order decisively.
...
In a mountain road leading to Kirishima County, three teams with different flags and fingers are moving quickly.
Lai Zhou, wearing armored horses, rode his horse through the ditch. Now he and Masahiko Oda and Kanfang are leading more than 400 troops to pursue the Luo family's army. Just before, he and Kanyo successfully massacred the Takazakuji clan and made great contributions. He led the Shaoer family's pioneer army to arrive at Lu Kecheng, which had been occupied by Masahiko Oda and Kanfang Oda. After receiving the Luo family's army nearby, he was shocked and thought that the Luo family had captured the Hirai family's territory, and then began to take advantage of the chaos to occupy the Takazakuji territory.
Just as he was about to send someone to report the young Dongshang who was repairing Shuijiang City, he suddenly found that the Luo family's army began to retreat. After discussing with Masahiro Oda and Takagi Kanfang, the three of them agreed that the opportunity was not to be missed, and immediately led the army from behind to pursue the Luo family's army.
On one side of the road are mountains and forests, while on the other side are paddy fields that are already puddles, which makes it rain too much, causing too much water in the fields, and the newly planted seedlings are almost wiped out by the water.
Even the heavy rain caused the road to be quite muddy. Even the horse farm riding horses, Lai Zhou, Oda Masahiro, and Takagi Kanfang were moving forward carefully at this moment.
Along the way, Lai Zhou from the Racecourse sent a detective to follow the Luo family army and promptly rewarded the movements of the Luo family army. He knew not much about the newly emerging Luo family. The only thing he knew was that the Luo family, Masayoshi, who was known as Matsuura Eagle, was heard that this man was not only brave but also scheming, and it was hard to defend against. So he also woke up the twelve-point Jing Shen along the way. As long as his detective could follow the Luo family's family and put the Luo family's every move under surveillance, there would definitely be nothing wrong.
Of course, although he was cautious in his actions, he despised the head of the Luo family in his mind. In his opinion, a small powerful man was also worthy of trying to get into the position of the former overlord. It was ridiculous. The real overlord should belong to his Shaoer family.
In fact, the Shaoer family did have its arrogant capital. When the Shaoer family was at its peak, they obtained the guardian positions of Chuanqian, Fengqian, Feihou, and other countries, and occupied the Dazaifu.
Unfortunately, strength cannot be linked to past honors. However, Lai Zhou of the Racecourse still firmly believes that the Shaoer family can regain their dream of dominating Jiuzhou.
"Quick, send an order to speed up the army!" As dusk approached, the army was still walking slowly, Lai Zhou was a little anxious.
Not far behind him, Masahiro Oda and Takagi Kanfang, heard this and looked at each other, but did not make a sound. Lai Zhou had just made great contributions to the horse farm. He had a arrogant aura, which made the two of them tactfully choose to keep silent. However, they were somewhat dissatisfied. The team had been following the Luo family army for nearly two hours, and the soldiers seemed a little tired. It was best to stop and rest at this time.
After the army walked around a small hill, a vast plain appeared in front of us.
Finally, there was no need to walk on the muddy mountain road. Everyone couldn't help but relax, and some even began to appreciate the scenery in the wild. The team suddenly became loose.
"Kill!" Suddenly, a loud shout came from the other side of a wood in front.
"Ha!" "Nee" suddenly a burst of people shouting.
Everyone turned their heads and looked at them.
A team of fifty-man cavalry suddenly rushed out from the other side of the woods and rushed towards the coalition forces.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The coalition soldiers who reacted immediately shouted. However, some of the army still did not come out of the mountain road. In addition, they had just relaxed for a moment, so these soldiers had no time to complete the team.
This cavalry was the cavalry brigade of the Luo family. Before deciding to rescue the Takazoji family, Masara asked Miyazawa Heihara to return to the territory and brought the cavalry team to Takeo Castle, preparing to pick up Masara back to the territory. When he learned that the troops of Lu Kaichi Castle were pursuing him, Masara led the army to retreat while sending people to inform Miyazawa Heihara who had arrived in Takeo Castle, who had led the cavalry team to pick him up.
The fifty cavalry led by Miyazawa Heihata crashed into the coalition army like a storm. The soldiers of the coalition army along the way hid one after another. The soldiers who could not hide were directly knocked out by the galloping war horses.
The chaos at the exit of the flat ground directly caused the people who were still in the mountain road to fail to rush out to support in time. Lai Zhou, Oda Masahiro, and Takagi Jianfang, who were still in the mountain road, obviously also discovered that something was happening in front of them, but due to the narrow mountain road, and there were puddles on the other side of the mountain road, they could not go forward to command in time.
"Kill!" Not long after the cavalry rushed over, the Luo family army, who were originally moving forward, suddenly came back.
...
The Luo family's fight back against the pursuers led by Lai Zhou, Oda Masahiro and Takagi Kanfang ended with the Luo family's victory.
Lai Zhou, Oda Masahiro, and Takagi Jianfang fled back to Lujicheng in a panic. In this service, the Luo family captured more than ten levels and captured more than seventy prisoners. After these two wars, the Luo family had captured more than 200 prisoners. These prisoners will be directly charged into the army of slaves of the Luo family, and speed up the construction of the marching avenues in the Luo family's territory.
In the evening, the Luo family army finally returned to Wuxiong City. At the same time, he also received exact news about the extermination of the clan.
