Chapter 537

The fourteenth year of Astronomy, at the end of March.

Feihou Juchi County is siege in the capital city, and the fog is filled with outside the city. The air is filled with a solemn atmosphere. The Luo family has an absolute advantage in the army of 1,500 troops, and it is difficult for birds to enter.

At this moment, the Luo family's original formation was built on a small hill only 500 meters away from the city.

Not far away, the wet water vapor of Kinokawa continued to evaporate, and in front of him was a fog covering the sky, like a huge curtain hanging down there. It was the end of March and the plum rainy weather was about to enter April. In this season, a layer of fog will rise in the mountainous areas of Feihou. Thick fog gushed out of the mountains, and then mixed with the steam of Kinokawa, covering the entire Jufucheng.

Looking from the Luo family's original formation, there was a vast white area everywhere. The Uemaru Tengumaru Tulei, Ishigaki, and Horiki were unable to see even a blurry outline.

"Such thick fog makes my iron cannon unable to exert its power!" Masayoro was sitting on the stool, holding a military mate in his hand, and said to the military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke who was sitting beside him.

"Yes, my subordinates grew up in the East China Sea since childhood, and the mountains there always produce thick fog in this season. This season is indeed not a good time to go out." Yamamoto Kanasuke responded.

"Have the military power of other small families in Kikuchi County come?" Zhengliang continued to ask.

"After receiving the recruitment order from our family, they rushed over. Now our family is already a well-deserved daimyo in Kikuchi County, so they naturally dare not make rash decisions. This time it is a good time to express allegiance to our family, so they naturally would not miss such an opportunity." Yamamoto Kansuke immediately reported.

"Hmph, they know each other." Masayoro snorted. After solving the problem of the Jubu family, the rest of the small wealthy family and small lands in the entire Kikuchi County were no longer afraid of it.

Originally, Zhengliang had planned. If someone dared not to obey the order this time, he would immediately use this as an excuse to eliminate these wealthy families. As a result, they were all very smart. After receiving the conscript order from the Luo family, they not only immediately came to assist the Luo family in besieging Jufucheng, but also brought this year's annual tribute. You must know that they only paid the annual tribute to the Otomo family at the beginning of the year. Now that the new master has come, they have to sell their money and grains in tears. The arrival of these money and grains has just relieved the logistics pressure of the Luo family.

Of course, these fence-bearing plants will definitely be hidden dangers in the territory, especially when the laws of the Luo family began to be implemented soon, as before and after, they would definitely be resisted by many local wealthy families and small lands. So Zhengliang decided to take the initiative this time and no longer wait for them to resist before sending troops to pacify them one by one. He simply transferred them to the territory of some retainers who supported the policies of the Luo family to Fei later. As for immigration, considering the unrestrained emotions of the territorial land and the financial pressure of the territory, he was exempted this time. He would only move some refugees and the territorial people from other areas that had recently defected to the Luo family to here.

"Lord, the military forces of each family in Kikuchi County have taken their place as their orders. They are waiting for the lord's orders." At this moment, a messenger came forward to report.

"Okay, send an order, come out!" Zhengliang's expression immediately became steep and steep when he heard this. At the same time, he stood up directly from the marching stool, then raised his eyes to look at the city surrounded by thick fog, pressed the army in his hand down heavily, and finally ordered.

"Oh hehe! Oh hehe!"

With Zhengliang's order, a loud shout of soldiers before attack came from the foot of the mountain, and the sound of the flags also sounded.

Then the Taigu pounded and thumped. In the heavy fog, the army could not be seen. Only the sound of countless soldiers walking on the ground, as if rustling in everyone's heart.

At this moment, countless Echigo soldiers and ants gathered at the city of Jufu. The road up the mountain was not spacious, and the logistics army of the Luo family was working hard to broaden so that the subsequent troops could be sufficient to expand.

The first sequence of siege was mainly composed of the small tyrants from Kikuchi County and even from Shanlu County, and the soldiers from the small land. They carried arrow blocks on their shoulders, sand and earthen buns on their backs, and large wooden stakes from the siege gate walked in front. The following were the warriors of the Luo family, with long spears, bows and arrows, and even iron cannons, moving forward in order.

As the army advanced, the outline of Jufucheng gradually became clear. The front leading to the mountain road was Jufucheng's Izumaru Tengumaru. After a roving line, there was a four-high stone wall. A layer of wood was covered with a curved wheel. Every section of the curved wheel was a narrow room for bows and arrows to shoot. On the left and right sides of the stone wall, there was also a tall arrowhead, and several Kikuchi family soldiers were stationed above with bows and arrows in hand. At the tiger's mouth in the center of the stone wall was the Dashou Gate, which was also the destination of the siege army.

The sky was filled with fog and the city was still shrouding. On the mountain road, a large army continued to advance, looking from beginning to end. They were moving forward cautiously, and the flag behind them was shaking volleys with the swaying of the mountain wind...

Just as the Luo family launched a large-scale attack on Kikuchi Yoshiguchi's Jufu City, in the Heshi County Heshi County of Yoshioka Nagaoka Nagaoka looked at a letter from Fenghou with a serious expression.

"How, how is the progress of the army along the way?" Tian Bei Jiansheng, who was standing by, immediately asked before Yoshioka Nagato handed him the letter. Although the main responsibility for the defeat in Kikuchi County this time was the fat rich families who were shrinking in the battle, Tian Bei Jiansheng used this as a shame. Therefore, he was particularly worried about the progress of the army along the way that also aimed to surround Wei and save Zhao.

In his heart, he actually hoped that the army along the way would also encounter setbacks. In this way, his retreat this time was less conspicuous.

"The situation is not good!" Yoshioka Nagato said with a frown in the face of his colleague's urgent inquiries.

"Oh? What's the situation?" After hearing Yoshioka Changzeng's answer, Tan Bei Jian first breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.

"The other party defended Karaoshi City to the death, so that our army could only camp outside the city, and there has been no progress so far." Yoshioka Nagato said.
