The clan of Munakata, who received a request for help from Shoan of the Shoya, also realized the seriousness of the situation, so he immediately summoned two important ministers of the family, Kurokawa Takasho and Fukada Clantoshi, to discuss. In the end, the three of them decided to go home separately and mobilize a group of troops to support Xu Fei Mountain Castle, Shimaru Castle and Sakamoto Castle.

After the merger of Jucheng Baishi City, the military strength of the three of them formed a team of more than 500 people. This is already the largest number of troops that can be taken in the territory of the Zongxiang family (almost all men over the age of twelve and under the age of fifty in the territory will go into battle). Since it was the autumn harvest season, some peasants hid when they learned that the lord was going to forcibly recruit peasant soldiers again, and they would rather be punished by the lord afterwards, which led to them finally being able to mobilize such a large number of troops. Even now, these peasant soldiers who were arrested because they didn't have time to escape were full of resentment, so in order to avoid accidents, the three of Munakata Clan, Kurokawa Takasho, and Fukada Clan had to send a large number of family samurai to monitor these peasant soldiers.

After the forces of the three converged, they quickly came to the north bank of the Diaoyu River. Here, as long as they reach the other side, the forces of the three of them will be separated and go to Xu Fei Mountain Castle, Ishimaru Castle and Banyuan Castle Sancheng to support.

The Fishing River is a river that runs through the hinterland of the domain of the Soka family. The banks of the wide Suyu River are full of rice paddies that are being harvested, but due to the sudden war, the people have almost no hands to harvest the grain. Some of the people who recognized their rice fields were obviously touched by the scene at this time, and immediately began to cry.

"Let's cross the river quickly." Seeing that the morale of the soldiers was low, and even resentment, the clan did not dare to stay here for a long time. So he hurriedly ordered.

The location chosen by the Munakata clan to cross the river is located in the middle of the Tachikawa River. It is the largest wooden bridge used to communicate the north and south banks of the Suyu River. The wooden bridge here is not only the widest. It is also the main thoroughfare of the inner area of the hinterland of the Soka family. At the same time, since the river water here is the lowest, the soldiers can even wade directly through the water, so in order to rush to the castles to support, the Soka clan directly issued an order to cross the bridge and wade to the other side at the same time.

For a while, the team of hundreds of people scattered into a group and began to go to the opposite bank, and the three of Munakata Clan, Kurokawa Takasho, and Fukada Clan Toshi arrived on the opposite bank from the wooden bridge under the escort of the relatives samurai, and then commanded everyone to quickly cross the river on the opposite south bank.

Perhaps this was the hinterland of their own country, so they forgot to set up the minimum outposts around them, so they were crossing the river. Completely unaware of the fact that there was a large group of troops hiding in some of the mountains and bushes on both sides of the river.

This team is the third standing ashigaru team of the Luo family, with Akura Soya as the main general, Asakura Soya, Shimahara Junshige, and Fukuda Nobukiyo as the deputy generals, and Kawada Yoshiro as the goal. Long before the army where Masashi was located went out of battle, their army had secretly landed on the north shore of Zongxiang's house in the evening under the transportation of the navy.

Most of the coastal areas on the north bank of the Zongxiang family were mountains and forests, and the Zongxiang family's naval army was wiped out by the Luo family, so the army of more than 500 people quickly sneaked into the nearby mountains and forests without being discovered by the sentinels of the Zongxiang family.

In fact, in this direction, the Zongxiang family also built a wall called the Kite Prison City for defense, if you want to enter the hinterland of the Zongxiang family through the northern coastal area, there are only two ways, one is to capture the Kite Prison City. The second is to enter the intricate mountain forest area, and then open a road to enter it. In order to avoid startling the snake. Thirdly, the standing ashigaru team chose the way to enter from the mountains and forests. It may be very difficult for the army of ordinary wealthy families to pass through the intricate mountains and forests, but for the Luo family's various foot light teams that regularly conduct mountain and forest combat training in the mountains and forests near the station every month, such a marching method is just an ordinary actual combat exercise.

Therefore, when Masarashi was using Masarashi as a target to focus the attention of the entire Soka family on the bright side of Xu Fei Mountain Castle, the third standing team of more than 500 people, led by Akuta, Asakura Sote, Shimahara Junshige, Fukuda Nobukiyo, and Kawada Yoshiro, had already infiltrated the mountains and forests inside the hinterland of the Soxiang family and ambushed them, while closely watching the changes near the Soka Home City Shiraishi Castle.

According to the plan formulated by Zhengliang before, this time the strategy of the Zongxiang family is divided into three steps. The first step was for the army of Masashi to attack the Zongxiang family's Xu Fei Mountain Castle as a target, attracting the attention of the Zongxiang family and the Ouchi family's local garrison, and providing cover for the actions of the other armies. Of course, in this step, Zhengliang used some small tricks to make Xu Feishan City lose troops and generals, and the defenders in the city were also shaken, forcing the defender of the city to occupy Shang'an to ask for help from Baishi City, thus increasing the first step to attract the enemy's main force, so that the Zongxiang family had no time to take care of the effect of the rest of the places.

The second step is to let the Akizuki family and the Aso family attack from the south and north respectively, causing the situation that the Zongxiang family is besieged, and the Zongxiang family is completely out of proportion. And at this time, the third step of the plan is about to be staged, and the protagonist of this step is the third standing ashigaru team that secretly infiltrated the sect's family. They will decide what action to take according to the situation inside the Zongxiang family at this time, the purpose is to create chaos within the Zongxiang family, and cut off the connection between the Zongxiang Family City and the rest of the cities, so that the Zongxiang cannot form a whole, so that the Luo family can be destroyed one by one.

Since entering the hinterland of the Sogami family and hiding, the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Team has sent a large number of personnel to closely monitor the movements of Shiraishi Castle. Just the day before yesterday, after they learned that Xu Fei Duo Castle, Ishimaru Castle, and Sakamoto Castle were urgently asking for help from a messenger of the Zongxiang family who had been captured halfway, Akuta, Asakura Sodra and others knew that the time for their action was about to appear.

As they expected, just yesterday, they detected a large-scale mobilization of peasants near White Rock City, so they immediately rushed to the vicinity of this place at dusk yesterday. This is the only avenue in the hinterland of the Zongxiang family, and it is also the three-way road leading to the cities, and the reinforcements of the Zongxiang family will inevitably pass through here.

In order to avoid being discovered, from last night to now, the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Team has eaten some dry food mixed with salt and dried sweet potatoes, in addition to some seaweed sour plum rice balls that were temporarily prepared in the mountains and forests (seaweed is collected from the coast, and sour plum is a fruit tree newly introduced from the Kanto region the year before last in the Luo family's farm, and because the planting area is limited now, there are not many armament reserves), and they did not even dare to build a bunch of open fires during this period. In the process of ambushing, they also encountered some local peasants who tried to hide in the ambush area in order to avoid being captured. So these peasants naturally became their captives.

At this time, it was already early afternoon, and outside the mountains and forests dozens of meters away, the army of the Soxiang family was crossing the river, and Akuta, Asakura Soya, Shimahara Junshige, Fukuda Nobukiyo, and Kawada Yoshiro were each leading a part of the army to hide on both sides of the river, preparing to wait for the battle to start, and then divide into two groups on both sides of the river to launch an attack on the enemy troops who were crossing the river.

"Good news, my lord! The messenger who was captured the day before yesterday pointed out that the guys on the horses below were none other than the family governor of the Zongxiang family and several important ministers! At this moment, a standing ashigaru gently climbed to Asakura Sodrus, who was hiding in a bush, and whispered.

"What? Is this serious? Asakura Sect was also surprised when he heard this, and immediately reconfirmed in a low voice.

"I found a few unlucky local farmers who were caught by us and reconfirmed, and they all said that the following are all big officials of the territory." This standing ashigaru reconfirmed.

"Okay, great!" Asakura Zongdi didn't expect that this ambush would actually meet the family governor and important ministers of the Zongxiang family, as long as they are solved, then the next thing will be easy to do. He immediately thought of informing the other generals of the news, but he suddenly remembered that due to the terrain restrictions, several of them had led a group of people to disperse and hide nearby, and now they couldn't notify each other at all.

"Listen, notify these people here immediately, and when the attack comes, leave the others alone, and get rid of those horseback first." Thinking of this, Asakura Zongdi immediately turned to order. The latter immediately took the order and left. (To be continued......)
