As the Luo family gradually became famous, some of the military systems and weapons of the Luo family's military power were gradually understood by the surrounding powerful names.

For example, the military strength of the Luo family. Many powerful people probably know that some of the Luo family's military strength does not need to farm, but only needs to be used full-time for war. Although many Haoqiang also intend to imitate it, the resources at home simply can't support such an army. Not to mention that like the Luo family, even ordinary ashigaru can be separated from production, and even some of the samurai in their family still have to farm. Therefore, although they knew a little about the system of the Luo family's military power, they could not imitate it.

Of course, they naturally don't know why the Luo family can do it, but they can't do it because they can't use all the resources of the territory in a centralized manner with their own systems, they will only blindly think that the Luo family is using military force, and the internal affairs of the Luo family will collapse sooner or later. Therefore, some of the powerful names will laugh at the Luo family because of this, and they are all waiting for when the Luo family, which looks powerful on the surface, will collapse.

Another example is the Luo family's siege weapon ladder. Since this weapon appeared on the battlefield, it immediately caused many powerful imitations. But after using it in real combat, they quickly paid less attention to this weapon.

How so? This is mainly because many of the local wealthy lords in the territory of the Japanese are built on high hills, even if it is a flat city, there are many moats filled with flowing water around it, and the ladders they imitate cannot adapt to these terrains at all (such as accidents such as not being fixed on the ground, slipping, easy to break, etc.), and the power of the ladder is naturally greatly reduced. The ladder of the Luo family also experienced these situations in the initial stage. It was only after it was continuously improved by craftsmen from the Ming Kingdom. Only then did it gradually exert its power.

Now at the head of the city. Looking at the military strength of the Luo family, which they knew about the Dao, but they didn't know why they couldn't imitate the Dao, the envy and jealousy in the heart of Zhanbu Shang'an spontaneously arose.

Just when the Luo family's army was constantly waging harassment wars against Xu Feishan City, in the city where the Zong Xiang family lived, the Zong Xiang family also received a lot of bad news during this period of time. First of all, it was from Zhou Fangguo that the news came from Zhou Fangguo that the governor of the Ouchi family, Yoshitaka Ouchi, was killed by the rebellious Tao Longfang. This news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for everyone. For a long time, the reason why the Soka family surrendered to the Ouchi family was mainly because he trusted the Ouchi family's family governor Ouchi Yoshitaka, and now it's okay. The Ouchi Yoshitaka they supported was killed, and for a while they all hesitated, and they really didn't know what would happen to the Ouchi family next.

Just when everyone was hesitating, it seemed that the other party had already prepared, and the Luo family actually entered their own territory in the name of avenging Yoshitaka Ouchi.

The Zongxiang family was immediately taken aback. They hesitated. Because the Luo family, with Ouchi Yoshiko as the banner of righteousness, came to avenge Ouchi Yoshitaka, if they blocked the Luo family from entering their territory, wouldn't it be equivalent to hindering the Luo family from avenging Ouchi Yoshitaka? Then they are indirectly the same party as Tao Longfang. What's even more odious is that it is precisely because of the righteousness of avenging Yoshitaka Ouchi that the Luo family can unscrupulously tear up the settlement agreement signed with Ouchi and enter the territory of the Ouchi family in a big way.

It's just that. The Luo family had the ambition of invading the eastern region of Chikuzen Province under the pretext of avenging Yoshitaka Ouchi. It is Sima Zhao's heart, everyone knows it. Therefore, the Sogar clan finally made the decision to fight against the Luo family with all his might, and at the same time, he also sent envoys to the nearby Akizuki family, the Aso family, and even the guardian Daisugi family of the Bunzen country further afield to ask for help.

But in the next few days, things were greatly unexpected by him, first of all, the envoys who were sent to the neighboring Qiuyue family and the Aso family hurried back, it turned out that the Qiuyue family and the Aso family both scolded them, and the Dayan family and the Tao family must have colluded to murder the killers of Ouchi Yoshitaka, and directly drove the messenger of the Zongxiang family away.

What made the Soka clan even more speechless was that not long after, the Akizuki family and the Aso family actually sent troops to attack the two cities of Sakamoto Castle and Ishimaru Castle, which bordered these two territories to the south and east of the Soka family's territory. The two cities of Banyuan City and Shimaru City are the gates to the south and east of the Zongxiang family's territory, and once they fall, the hinterland of the Zongxiang family will be exposed to the eyes of others, and even Xu Feishan City will be attacked on the back.

It's just that what the Zongxiang family can't understand is that the Luo family is now clearly going to invade Dongzhuqian, just as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, the Zongxiang family has fallen, and the next ones to suffer are not the Qiuyue family and the Aso family? If it is said that the Akizuki family is unwilling to participate at this time because it has always had conflicts with the Ouchi family, then what is going on with the Aso family? Soon he figured out that Nima's, these two families were in cahoots with the Luo family.

Not long after receiving the news that the Akizuki family and the Aso family were marching into battle for their own territory at the same time, the Zongxiang clan received bad news not long after, and the reinforcements of the Ouchi family, which turned out to be stationed in Xu Fei City, were all wiped out.

Here's what happened, it turned out that the Luo family's army seemed to feel that it was difficult to conquer Xu Fei Mountain City in a short period of time after several days of harassment warfare against Xu Fei Mountain City, so they withdrew overnight a day ago, and then prepared to turn along the coast and attack the territory of the Zongxiang family from the north coast.

Seeing this, Xiangyue in Xu Fei City thought that a great opportunity to defeat the Luo family's army had come, so despite the persuasion of Shang'an of Zhanbu, he led hundreds of people under his command out of the city to pursue. As a result, it was ambushed by another part of the Luo family's army that had been ambushed nearby early in the morning, and the part of the army of Zhengliang, who had just left, also quickly returned, under the front and back attacks, Xiangyue Zexiao was captured, and hundreds of people under his command were either killed or captured, and none of them were able to return to Xu Feishan.

The Luo family's army that ambushed this ambush was naturally the ambush that Zhengliang had hidden from the beginning. According to the original plan, Zhengliang's army was mainly used as a target to attract the ideas of the Zongxiang family, so that the Zongxiang family relaxed their vigilance against other cities. Of course, although it plays the role of a target, Masahiro also hopes to have a chance to take this fortified city. Therefore, in order to paralyze the enemy in the city, Masato also hid part of the army in the rear in advance, and then attacked Xu Feishan City with a seemingly weak military force.

After several days of continuous harassment, Masahiro found that some of the guards in the city had been harassed and irritable, and some soldiers even stood on the wall and cursed angrily at the Luo family's camp outside the city. Seeing this scene, Masahiro immediately created the illusion of retreating overnight. And Xiangyue Zexiao was really fooled and followed, so he fell into the ambush trap of Zhengliang and was attacked from front to back.

After the victory, Masara even sent someone to pretend to be the rout of Xiangyue Zexiao to deceive the city gate. As a result, Shang An, who left the city to defend the city, was also a cautious person, and he had to ask Xiangyue Zexiao to appear in person before he was willing to open the city gate. But Xiangyue Zexiao saw that there was no hope of escaping in the previous melee and struggled to resist, and was finally beaten to death. So this strategy ultimately failed.

But Zhengliang will not let the Zhanbu Shang'an in the city feel better, he first sent people outside the city to stage a good show outside the city of Luo's chasing soldiers to "round up" Xiangyue Zexiao's "rout", and then let these "captives" turn around and angrily scold the Zhanbu Shang'an in the city for being ruthless and unjust, saying that under the leadership of such a general, the soldiers under his command will only be sent to the battlefield by him to die, in an attempt to shake the determination of the defenders in the city. Later, Masayo sent the news that Ouchi Yoshitaka had been killed, that the lord Sokamata was an accomplice with the murderer of Ouchi Yoshitaka and that he was about to be besieged by the surrounding powerful forces by shouting loudly outside the city and shooting letters into the city to persuade him to surrender. At the same time, after learning that the Akizuki family and the Aso family had begun to act according to the plan of the agreed agreement, Masato immediately "sent" the relevant news into the city.

Under the influence of repeated rumors, the morale of the soldiers defending the city was greatly reduced for a while, and even began to show signs of wavering. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhanbu Shang'an immediately sent someone to ask for help from the Zongxiang clan in Baishi City. (To be continued......)
