On the banks of the turbulent Chikugo River, Takanobu Ryuzoji, who was tired of running, sat in the shade of a tree, pressed his wounded thigh for a moment, and asked the attendant to fetch water, but he wanted to wash his beard and the dirt on his face. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Ryuzoji Takashin was born with a vision, like a bear, so the vision was his great-grandfather in the middle of the Warring States period Kyushu No. 1 general Ryuzoji family and high hopes, to return to the secular inheritance of the Ryuzoji family business. Only this escape made him very haggard, looking very depressed, and without the slightest prestige of the family governor.

After a brief freshening up of himself, Ryuzoji Takanobu urged Nabeshima Naoshige, Hyakkutake Kenkane and other generals to set off quickly, saying that they were not out of danger yet, and that they could not stay here for long, and that the only way to escape back to Saga Castle, which was known as the "Sinking City", was the best policy.

When the castle is attacked by the enemy, the entire area except for the main part of the castle will be flooded by the Kase River, forcing the enemy to be unable to breach the castle in a short period of time, and can only use siege warfare.

Ryuzoji Takanobu is leaving, Nabeshima Naoshige, Hyakusaki Kenkan and others will naturally not refuse, they also understand that the enemy is still chasing after them closely, once they are caught up by the enemy, the current thousand people will have to lose all of them, and they will set off immediately.

As soon as they stopped, they were about to leave, and many of them didn't even have food and a sip of water, so they couldn't help but complain, but fortunately, Ryuzoji Takanobu and Nabeshima Naoshige still had prestige, and the ashigaru didn't have any trouble because of this, not to mention that everyone knew the benefits of escaping back to Saga Castle, at least they could have a roof to live under and drink a sip of hot soup.

Ryuzoji Takanobu is desperate and painful, but he doesn't blame anyone. The order to pursue was given by him, and at that time Nabeshima Naoshige raised a different opinion, which was suppressed by him in the name of the governor, and finally caused a bad result, and he had to swallow it.

Naoshige Nabeshima suddenly caught a glimpse of a few flashes of light in the woods next to the road, and he shouted loudly while holding down Ryuzoji Takanobu, "There are people in the woods!" There are people in the woods! All troops on alert! ”

Naoshige Nabeshima looked in the direction of the woods, and Ryuzoji Takanobu and other awards also turned their heads to look in the direction of the woods. They stood on the banks of the Chikugo River, surrounded by the Chikuhi Plain, a flat river, only a few woods dotted in between, and the vision was extremely broad, and they immediately saw a flock of birds flying and faltering branches and leaves in the dense woods outside the Lixu Kai, and it was obvious that many people were lying in ambush in the woods.

Kinoshita Masanao squinted his eyes, muttered for a while from the movement of the woods, and said angrily: "There are not many people, around two or three hundred, it should not be the pursuers of the Great Friendly Army." Bastard, even the ground rats have escaped. ”

There are many soldiers and horses in the Great Friendship Army, and the chasing soldiers will not be the only number, Kinoshita Masanao thinks that it should be the local forces that have been suppressed by the Ryuzoji family in the past who came out to take advantage of the fire and rob and fall into the ground.

Naoshige Nabeshima shook his head and said, "If it was usual, we would naturally not be afraid, but now that the Ryuzoji army is exhausted, and the Great Friendly Army is chasing behind, their purpose is to entangle us. ”

Naoshige Nabeshima resolutely ordered: "Before the enemy arrives, Kinoshita Masanao, you lead the Einsatzgruppen to the rear of the palace, and the rest of the people wait to protect the lord and retreat." Kinoshita Masano, for the sake of the lord, please. ”

Later, when he said this, he faintly had the meaning of a request.

Kinoshita Masanao was originally a native of Kyoto, and when he traveled around the world, he was courteously treated by Ryuzoji Takanobu, and was recruited as a retainer with a high salary of 1,000 koku, and the soldier died as a confidant. Kinoshita Masanao showed a rare serious expression and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry, I, Kinoshita Masanao, have been favored by the lord over the years, and now it's time to return it, take care of yourself." After saying that, he greeted the Einsatzgruppen.

Ryuzoji Takanobu choked up and looked at Kinoshita Masanao, and then resolutely left with the team.

A warrior in black armor was coming out of the woods, a man with a bow in his left hand and an arrow in his right, feathered arrows on the bowstring, both pointed diagonally to the ground, and walked out of the woods. He was followed by more than a dozen samurai armed with bows and arrows, and behind them appeared more than two hundred ashigaru armed with spears.

Kinoshita Masa's eyes lit up, and he roared, "Kamidai victory!"

The victory of the god can be said to be the old enemy of the Ryuzoji family, and it has been an enemy of the Ryuzoji family for a long time. The victory of the god dynasty stood out in the confrontation with the dragon temple family, and later he and the Shaoer family and the horse farm Lai Zhou jointly suppressed the dragon temple family who intended to rebel, and killed the son of the dragon temple family and the family Chun, the family gate, and the grandson Cheng family. Although the only owner of the Ryuzoji family who leaked in the crusade and was ninety-two years old at the time, he still fought for revenge, and united with Nabeshima Qingfang to quickly counterattack, and killed Baba Lai Zhou, and the father and son of the politician returned to Shuijiang City. Takanobu who inherited the Ryuzoji family continued the resentment of his great-grandfather's family.

As another mastermind, the victory of the gods naturally became the opponent of the key attack of the dragon temple Takanobu, who thought that the victory of the god generation was bold, and he turned to the twenty-six mountains in the mountain with the elusive tactics, which made the dragon temple Takanobu difficult to take care of the tail and the big siege. However, because the Ryuzoji Takanobu ninja detected the accurate information of the victory of the gods, the tactics of the victory of the gods were seriously frustrated, and they finally fled to Chikugo Province in defeat.

Still not giving up the search for the recapture of the old lordship of the god has been actively preparing for war, after learning that the town of Otomo Yoshitsu sent the army of Toji Michiyuki to gather Chikugo, Higo and other places to crusade against Ryuzoji Takanobu.

Kamiyo Katsura knew that his opportunity had finally come, and he led the 300 Kamiyo troops trained in Chikugo Province to return to Hizen Province with Toji Michiyuki and roam the four fields as a special team.

Relying on the experience of traveling in the mountains in previous years, Kamiyo Shengsheng concluded that Takanshin Ryuzoji would definitely withdraw to Saga Castle once defeated, so he immediately led his headquarters to wait at the place where Ryuzoji Takanobu was in time.

Shiro Baba, a close minister of the victory of the god dynasty, gritted his teeth and looked at the departure of Ryuzoji Takanobu, turned his head and asked in a deep voice: "My lord, why did you let go of Ryuzoji Takanobu, a dog thief?" ”

Shiro Saemon was the youngest son of Yorishu Baba, and after the death of Yorishu and the politician, he was protected by the victory of the gods.

Kamidai Shengli narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Completely defeat the reputation of Ryuzoji Takanobu to break through Saga City, we are small in size and small in appetite, don't be delusional if we don't deserve it!" ”

Baba Shiro Saemon glared viciously at the back of Ryuzoji Takanobu and shouted in a low voice, "Count his fate." ”

Kamidai Shengli sneered and said, "He can return to Saga City, right?" Did you only see the traces of Yubu Yushin and Ono Zhenyuki, and the general of the Great Friendly Army, Toji Michiyuki? ”

Baba Shiro Saemon froze for a moment, his face was filled with an excited smile, he was raised by Kamidai Victory since he was a child, and he believed in Kamidai's words of victory. He thought that Toji Michiyuki didn't appear again, and with Toji Michiyuki's prestige, how could he play soy sauce in such a big war.

Baba Shiro Saemon turned his head to look at the Ryuzoji army that was blocking their advance, and asked Kamidai to take the initiative to fight.
