The river water in the upper reaches of the Ono River is dozens of meters wide, and it is rolling rapidly and difficult to cross.

Zhengliang stood on a rock on the shore and threw the broken branches in his hand into the river. He saw a splash of water rolling into the river. The emerald green branches that had already rolled up and down the river surface were rippling silver light. The branches rushed away until they finally disappeared with the water flow.

"Let's start!" After pondering for a while, Zhengliang ordered decisively.

With Masayoro's order, hundreds of wooden rafts were pushed out by the rear-end peasant soldiers and then pushed into the river water of the Ono River. The soldiers of the left formation who had been ready on the shore had boarded the raft one after another. Each of them held a bamboo pole that was cut down nearby and had a long knife on their waists (the rest of the equipment and other equipment were taken off to avoid accidentally sinking to the bottom of the river due to their excessive body after getting into the water). After boarding the raft, they started to use the bamboo pole to start rafting the raft and strive to go to the other side.

These rafts were built by a thousand peasant soldiers in the back formation for a night, with the purpose of using them to cross to the other side. The military power of the Kitashiga family was scared by the covered long-range shooting of the Luo family just now. Before the main general Shiga Kendo issued an order to retreat, the soldiers began to escape one after another. Even if they could only be beaten and could not fight back, even the brave soldiers would escape. In an instant, Shiga Kendo, who almost turned into a lonely family, finally had to leave angrily under the protection of several relatives, leaving only the corpse lying on the river beach on the east bank and the wounded soldiers who were still in pain but could not escape.

At this time, the Luo family's army must take advantage of the time when the enemy was stunned and had not yet reacted, and then quickly ferry part of the army to the other side, and then build a temporary camp on the other side. In addition, the Luo family's own team members on the west bank used the piers left in the river to rebuild the bridge. Only in this way can the Luo family's army all arrive on the other side.

Just as the first army led by Masaraku was stepping up crossing the river, the Otomo family finally reacted. Irida Kenmaki immediately invaded by foreign enemies and everyone should be united. As the legitimate son, Otomo Yoshijin disappeared again at this time, calling on everyone to immediately serve as the governor of the family and then to the outside world.

Although the remaining officials, headed by Saito Haruma, supported the legitimate son, did not agree to immediately take Shimoshimama as the head of the family, they also agreed to temporarily resist the invasion of the Luo family under the leadership of Shimoshimama (it is estimated that Masayoro did not expect that due to his premature intervention, the Otomo family temporarily united).

However, the situation facing the Otomo family at this time was not optimistic. Due to the long distance and the lack of fast transportation, they have only received a warning that the Luo family was invaded by the Luo family on the upper reaches of the Ono River. As for the current specific situation, they knew nothing about the current situation. In addition, the most serious thing is that the Luo family army that attacked the Miecho town of the county was stuck on the necessary route for the rest of the counties to rescue Muli Castle in Kyuzhu County. According to the news from Kokuro Muli Castle before, the Luo family blocked the rescue route of Kokuro Muli Castle, while blocking the rescue route of Kokuro Muli Castle, and also drove another army from Hita County to attack Kokuro Muli Castle. Therefore, Kokuro Muli Castle was in the danger of being besieged.

More importantly, at this time, Kakumuri Castle not only had the body of the previous governor, Yoshimi Otomo, but also had Yamato Kosai, Mizuki Tsukumi, and three important officials from Taguchi Tsaru, who were left there. If these people were all taken over by the Luo family at this time, then the Otomo family would be faceless. Fortunately, there were still three thousand garrison troops in the city at this time, and the military forces organized by the local wealthy family, at least four thousand people could form an army to fight the Luo family's army. Even if it was not good, it would be okay to defend Kakumuri Castle.

After some discussion, the reinforcements of the Otomo family were divided into two groups. The troops led by Saito Homomasa and Usuki Kansushi quickly returned to their respective territories to organize their military power. They immediately went to Kumamori Castle in Oita County, and tried their best to unplug the third army of the Luo family that was stuck in the rescue route, and then rescue Kakumori Castle.

The troops led by Irida Cinmae quickly organized their troops to rush to the Onogawa River Basin area and drove the invading Luo family army out of Fenghou. As for the navy led by Wakamatsu Ekigo Detention Center, they cooperated with the remaining defenders to guard the inner hall of the Mansion.

When the Otomo family members finished their discussion and began to recruit military forces, the army led by Masarae had already built a temporary bridge upstream of the Ono River. Most of the military forces stranded on the east coast of the Luo family were able to successfully reach the west coast and began to assemble.

After leaving the remaining formations on the east coast to arrange camps and strengthen the bridge, Masara and the leader generals led the formation army to arrive hundreds of thousands of outside the Takashiga family in the Kitashiga family.

After the morning battle, the Kitashiga family's escaped army, which was blocked by the river beach on the west bank, fled back to Takashi, and then stayed in the door. Even the Luo family did not come to harass and intercept them when they used rafts to cross the river. It seemed that Shiga's personal life was preparing to defend Takashi to the death.

Indeed, Shiga, who was in the Takashi City at this time, was indeed ready to defend himself to temporarily delay the attack of the Luo family so that the tyrants in the rear had enough time to recruit troops to defend on the spot and even come to rescue. He believed that with the city's food that was enough to satisfy the food that more than a thousand defenders in the city had been eaten for a year, and the mountain springs that were enough to supply themselves in the mountain walls behind the city, as high as three meters (nearly ten meters) of rock-stacked walls, he could fully support the Luo family's retreat from Fenghou territory.

"What do you think of this city?" Looking at the Takashima that was like a castle embedded in a mountain wall hundreds of meters away, Masara said. Since the Luo family occupied the Hiroshima Kingdom, it seemed that in order to prevent the Luo family from invading the Takashima Kingdom through the Hiroshima border, Otoyo Yoshiki had been intending to support Kitashima family to build this Takashima on the Takashima border long ago. After so long, this fortress has suddenly become the most solid and tall fortress in the Takashima border area. Even Masara stood in front of it and felt a sense of insignificance.

"Sturdy and tall, it is a fortress, but it is actually a fortress." The left leader of the formation behind him replied. In fact, there was another sentence he didn't say, that was "hard to conquer."

"Haha, it seems that you all think this city is difficult to break!" After turning around and glanced at the generals behind him, they found that most of them were worried and couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmph, lord, what's the difficulty of breaking the second city wall? Just breaking through the only weakness of this city wall, that wooden city gate." Prussian, a technical craftsman who participated in the Luo Family War for the first time, spoke at this time.

"If you forcefully attack the city gate, I'm afraid my army will suffer a lot of casualties!" Isono Toshimasaki said. His words were not unreasonable, because the passage to the city gate of the high city gate was a narrow mountain road, and the entire mountain road was within the range of the bow and arrows of the high city walls on both sides. It can be imagined that when siege, if you want to force approach the city gate, you must walk a bloody road on this mountain road.

"Even if I can get close to the city gate, how can I break the city gate? At this time, there were no siege cars or large tubes in my formation. Even if I rely on the turmeric oil in my hand, I might not be able to quickly burn the city gate!" This time, the left formation army, Mufu Benduo Zhengxin, said.

After several years of careful training by Masayoshi, and he was smart enough, Honda Shin-honta can be regarded as a general. This can be seen from the fact that he was sent to the Seventh Standing Football Team in just one month, and he quickly gained the recognition of all the generals and soldiers from the Seventh Standing Football Team. Of course, due to his lack of experience and not all the situation of our family, this question was raised, although the situation and materials in this military situation were considered at this time, but the consideration was still lacking.

So, just after Honda Masato finished speaking, Prussia next to him immediately reminded him: "No, I have a way to break the city gate in an instant."

"Okay, everyone, my lord has never said that we must conquer this city!" Just when Prussia's words aroused the curiosity of the retainers, Zhengliang spoke. Zhengliang was naturally clear about the way Prussia said to destroy the city, but Zhengliang did not want to waste his trump card on this city, so he decisively interrupted Prussia's words.
