Chapter 654: One Step Away

At dusk, the first thunderstorm of spring swept away the spring breath of the day.

"Is the camp prepared?" At this time, Usuki Jiansu was instructing his retainers to prepare for the night camp on the opposite corner of Muli City. In the past few nights, the Luo family's army that is besieging Jiaomuli City has come to harass them almost every night, so they must be prepared.

Usuki considered himself a successful plan to build a large camp in the shape of a triangle, consisting of three small barracks, and each time it was attacked, the two camps facing Naokiri and Kakumuri Castle were responsible for resisting head-on, and the camp facing Oita-gun's own territory was responsible for support. And when it comes to attacking, they can completely relinquish the responsibility of the entire camp without any distractions. This allowed them to deal with the Luo family's military situation with all their strength in the past two days.

According to the previous plan, the main target of this attack was the army of the Luo family under Jiaomuli City, and as for the army of the Luo family that occupied the road directly into the county, it was ready to be broken with all its might after converging with Jiaomuli City. In the past two days, they and the army in Jiaomuli City jointly attacked the Luo family's army between the two sides, although the army in Jiaomuli City seemed to be frightened by the Luo family's terrifying weapon and only dared to attack the Luo family on the city wall, and they were always unwilling to open the city, but today, after the exchange of flags, they were finally willing to take the initiative to attack the city tomorrow. The defeat of the Luo family's army, which was sandwiched between their two armies, was about to be defeated.

Yes, in the eyes of Usuki Jiansu, it is only one step away from converging with the military forces of Kakumu Li City.

"Huh? What's going on out there? Just as Usuki was pondering, there was a sudden commotion outside mixed with the sound of a thunderstorm. So he immediately asked. The retainers standing at the entrance of the big tent immediately prepared to turn around and go out to inquire.

It was at this time. A bright light flashed in the sky.

"Huh" after a flash of light. The curtain of the big tent suddenly slanted and was opened.

The retainer who happened to be standing in front ......of the curtain saw something through the gap that had been cut, but before he could say a word, his head slipped off his neck. A large amount of blood spurted out from his neck and splattered directly onto the tent next to him, making the tent look a little weird and terrifying in the oil light.

"Huh?" Everyone in the big tent who finally reacted suddenly let out a burst of exclamations.

"Tyranny!"

At this time, several soldiers shouted strange slogans, brandished their katanas in their hands, and killed Rulai in the big tent. This was a decapitation action taken by the Luo family in order to completely disrupt the military situation of the Otomo family. Generally speaking, according to the habit of arranging large camps in each army at this time, the tallest military tent is generally where the main general of the formation is located. Therefore, the Luo family's military strength was easy to find here. What's more, the main flag is still hung in this military tent. These had long been discovered by the black eagles of the Roche family before the sun went down.

"Protect the Governor!" Several retainers in the big tent finally reacted, and immediately pulled out the katana next to them and rushed out, instantly colliding with the Luo family's army who came in. The military tent was suddenly filled with swords and swords. Those who are chasing, those who are being hunted and killed, those who shout and hold swords at each other, and those who hold large swords and guard the side of the main general Utaru Jiansu, are in a mess.

"Listen, sir, what's that sound?" At the same time, in the camp of the Luo family's third army that went straight to the gun, the four people who executed Tanekane, Asakura Muneta, Luo Masahide, and Nabeshima Naoshige were discussing whether tonight would be the same as the previous night. Even if it rains, go outside the enemy's camp to harass them. And at this time, Naoshige Nabeshima said suddenly.

"Voice? Except for the sound of thunder and rain. What else is there to hear? The executive said immediately.

"No, listen carefully." Nabeshima Naoshige said solemnly. Everyone saw that Nabeshima's expression was so serious, so they also listened carefully.

"Do you hear that?" Nabeshima's eyes suddenly lit up and he said loudly.

"The sound of the conch!" At this time, Asakura Zong also heard it.

"Yes, it's the sound of the Conch, and in the direction it came from?"

"The direction in which the enemy formation is located." At this time, he also heard it, "Someone, quickly send someone to the vicinity of the enemy camp to see what happened." ”

"Yes!" The samurai who had just walked in immediately took the order.

"Is it a trick of the enemy?" Asakura Sodrip wondered. The rest of the people were equally puzzled.

The waiting time was quite long, and after waiting for an unknown amount of time, a detective who was drenched in the rain ran in panting, and before he could stand still, he shouted out from his mouth: "Violent ......"

"Tyrant?" Asakura Zongdi immediately shouted. He once participated in the battle when the Luo family attacked the alliance forces of Otomo and Ouchi at night last year. At that time, the military strength of the Luo family used this strange slogan to identify friend and foe.

"Uh-huh......" Detective Fan gasped and nodded desperately.

"It is the military strength of the family, and it is the conch horn sounded by the military strength of the family." Asakura Zongdi immediately said affirmatively. This special slogan is only known to the military strength of the Luo family who participated in the battle that night.

"This?" Nabeshima and the three of them suddenly hesitated.

"Oh, what are you waiting for, even if the other party is cheating, as long as I wait to close the formation, it will naturally be correct. Gather your forces and set out now, any later and the sky will be completely dark. Seeing that the other three were still struggling, Asakura Zongdi immediately said. The other three looked at each other and nodded.

Just as the third army of the Luo family began to assemble, the army of the second Luo family outside Jiaomuli City also heard the sound of the conch.

"This?" Akaike Changren immediately hesitated.

"Send someone to investigate. At the same time, Master Ander was summoned to come and discuss. Kinoshita Masanao immediately gave the order.

"What's going on outside the city?" At this time, a soldier standing on the wall of Jiaomuli City, which had been battered by a large cannonball, asked while hiding from the rain while hiding under an arrow.

"What's the matter? As long as the Luo family's army outside does not come to attack the city. His companion whispered. Several guards nearby also nodded in agreement when they heard this.

There was no way, the strange weapon of the Luo family was so terrifying, and several of their companions were killed by the huge round ball shot by that terrifying weapon. These round balls even made a few round holes in the city gate, if it weren't for a few samurai masters who led people to quickly block the entrance of the entire city gate with sandbags, it is estimated that Tianjiao Muli City would be breached. Moreover, the army of the Luo family is also quite brave, and they almost captured the wall in several sieges.

Luckily, reinforcements from the family finally appeared in the rear of the enemy army, which made the enemy outside the city a little more restrained, and they were greatly encouraged. Today, the lord in the city even sent someone to clean up the sandbags at the city gate, and it seems that he plans to go out of the city tomorrow to cooperate with the army of the family who came to the rescue to jointly attack the army of the Luo family outside the city. I hope this battle will end soon, the continuous war has made these soldiers tired of it, and now that spring plowing has begun, they don't know what the situation is at home.

A thunderstorm, a series of sounds of the conch in the rain, playing out different stories everywhere. Although in terms of distance, the camps established by Usuki Jiansu and others are at least a mile away from everywhere, but aside from the winding mountain road, the actual straight-line distance is less than half a mile, so the sound of the conch can barely be heard in these places.

"My lord, I have sent someone to take advantage of the chaos of the enemy's camp to penetrate the enemy camp and report to the two armies." At this time, in the camp where Usuki Jiansu was, Fei Duan quickly said to Masahiro.

"Okay, let the conch horn continue to blow until the two armies of our family come to converge." Masato ordered again. At this time, the camp of the Otomo family facing Oita County was basically occupied by the Luo family, and the soldiers of the Otomo family, who had originally belonged to the camp, were being driven in the other two directions by the army of the Luo family, causing the two camps to become even more chaotic.

"Report, lord, the Irita family, the Nan Shiga family and other troops are also about to arrive from the rear." At this time, another herald came to report.

Fearing that the quality of the former Otomo family such as the Irita family was too low, Masara's ambush plan would be wrong, and when he began to implement the plan, Masarashi hid them in another place far away from the camp where Usuki was located, and then sent some people to guard them. When Masarashi began to attack, he had already sent people in advance to inform these troops to come and converge. At this time, these forces should indeed arrive.

"Meet the Lord!" Not long after, in a large tent with traces of a fight still remaining and half-opened, Yoshimi Irita and others finally met Masara and others. At this time, these people are still rolling down the raindrops. But they didn't dare to complain, because they had already seen the bravery of the Luo family's army when they walked along the road. They finally understood why the Luo family had risen so quickly.

"You came just in time." Masaro glanced at everyone in the faint glow of the oil lamp.

Everyone immediately felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, in fact, when it first rained, they planned to withdraw to Xiong Muli City, if it weren't for the strict suppression of the Luo family's army with the army, and they were indeed a little afraid that the government would be held accountable afterwards, so they rushed here.

"Okay, you go down immediately, the management of the battlefield here will be handed over to you, and the pursuit of the rout will also be handed over to you." Zhengliang then ordered that he was well aware of the combat power of these wealthy armies, so instead of letting them go to the battlefield to make trouble, it was better to let them maintain the stability of the battlefield and ensure that the victory was on the side of the Luo family.
