"Aim! Get ready...... Put......! In the woods on the side of Mount Kora, Ander shouted loudly.

"Bang, bang, bang......" The iron cannon rang out with one loud bang after another.

"This is the strange weapon that the Roche family can make loud noises?" At this time, Shiga finally realized who had attacked him. A few months ago, the Otomo family had obtained several of these weapons that the Roshi family had sold to Sakai merchants through several channels. At that time, Otomo Yoshikan found all the retainers of the Otomo family and tried these weapons on the spot.

Although these weapons are loud, their power is limited. Realizing this problem, he immediately brandished his katana on his horse and shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic, kill it, these things are not terrible......"

"Poof!" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck, his voice stopped abruptly, and then he fell under the horse with a "poof".

Before he died, he was still wondering, he had seen the power of these loud weapons with his own eyes, it was really not powerful, but why was I still shot?

Shiga died unjustly enough, what he saw before was just the fire system that Masarashi deliberately sold away, and these fire systems were still defective products that the Luo family did not use, so the power was naturally poor. He actually preconceived the power of the fire system he saw in Otomo's house to measure the muskets in the Luo family's iron artillery team, which was naturally tragic.

Moreover, not only did he wear the most shining armor in the entire vanguard today, but he even brandished his katana on his horse. For the soldiers of the Luo family, who pursued the principle of "killing the thief and killing the king first", Shiga at this time was like a crowd shouting "Come kill me, come kill me". So he naturally became the concentrated target of the Luo family's ambush force.

Compared to Shiga's personal bad luck. As a lieutenant general, the great god Zhenzheng is much luckier. Because it was already expected that Otomo Yoshikan would take the opportunity to suppress the Great God family again. So this time, the Great God family sent only the Great God Zhenzheng, who was closer to the Great God Family at home, and the weapons equipped with the Great God Town were also extremely simple, not to mention the soldiers, they were completely old and weak.

Because of this, Ander saw at a glance that the soldiers and horses of the Great God family were powerless, so he instead focused his attack on the Shiga family's army in the back half of the team. In this way, the people of the Great God family escaped.

What's even more ridiculous. Before Kinoshita Masanao and the others, who had attracted the attention of the Otomo family's vanguard army head-on, began to attack the iron artillery team in the woods from the front, the Daijin family's army in the first half of the team began to collapse. This made Kinoshita Masanao and others, who had long been holding back their strength, so angry that they smoked.

The main general was shot, and the lieutenant general fled with his own team first, and the rest of the Shiga family army also fled in a hurry after resisting it, leaving behind the corpses of the corpses, wounded soldiers, and even Shiga himself.

"Take away all the prisoners who were slightly wounded and not injured, and take away all the weapons and horses." Kinoshita Masa, the general of the Luo family, who didn't even shoot out, looked at the messy battlefield and said.

Lightly injured and uninjured captives are naturally going to become slaves of the Luo family. If they are lucky, they will be able to perform well in the slave ranks, obtain the status of the Luo family lord in advance, and then live again in the Luo family's territory. Slowly waiting for the day when their hometown becomes the territory of the Luo family, they can be reunited with their families. Yes, or he wrote directly to ask his family to relocate to the Luo family's territory on their own.

If you're unlucky. It is estimated that he will die in the territory of the Luo family, and he will lose contact with his family from then on. War is always about cruelty.

As for the enemy troops who were seriously wounded and killed in battle, their luck was both lucky and unlucky. Luckily, they will be left to the Otomo family's main camp, which is about to arrive, and thus avoid the fate of becoming captives of the Luo family. However, these people will increase the burden of food and medicine on the Otomo family, and will further hit their morale, so what their fate will be depends on the Otomo family.

"My lord, what about him?" The samurai beside him asked, pointing to Shiga's body.

"Don't touch his weapons and armor, groom, and give him to the villagers of the nearby villages, and let them hand him over to the Otomo army that will come later, and if the villagers are too timid, tell them that the generals of the Otomo family will reward them for it." Kinoshita said.

After listening to Kinoshita Masanao's words, the samurai who received the order was stunned for a moment, and then went down to carry out the order. It's just that he wondered in his heart, why did the adults make such trouble, wouldn't it be better to directly cut off the head of the opponent's general and then show off in front of the opponent's formation?

As for the doubts of his subordinates, Kinoshita Masanao expected it, but he did not make any more analysis. For an important retainer of the Otomo family like Shiga Kinmori, rashly insulting his corpse is likely to backfire, not only will it not be able to demoralize the other party, but it will cause the other party to share the same hatred.

When he received the news of the disastrous defeat of the Pioneer Formation, Otomo Yoshikan's Honjin Army happened to pass through the Castle of Kusano's Take.

"The Battle of Sebahara?" After listening to the cry of the great god Zhenmasa, who escaped unharmed, Urukikansu on the side couldn't help but think of the battle between the Ouchi family and the Otomo family in Seba a few years ago.

Just like in that battle, the Luo family first asked the general of the Otomo family to tell him that he was going to set up a formation to block the army of the Otomo family in the main mountain range of Mt. Kora, and then sent the army led by the "ghost spear" of the Luo family, Kinoshita Masanao, to attract the attention of the Otomo family's vanguard in the front, and finally attacked by the iron artillery team that the Luo family gradually became famous on the side.

This time, the strategy used by the Luo family was similar to that of the Ouchi family in the first battle of Sejihara, but now the result is that the Otomo family's forward army has been defeated. It's a shame. The Otomo family was calculated twice by the same scheme.

"Leave Shiga personally buried and reward a few villagers who sent the corpses with a stone of miscellaneous grain." Just when everyone thought that Otomo Yoshikan was going to be angry, they saw that Otomo Yoshikan commanded surprisingly calmly.

"As for you, just let me go to the little lotus team to be the grain officer!" After watching Shiga's body being carried down, Otomo Yoshikan turned to Okami Zhenmasa and said.

After the rout, this guy actually hid in a nearby wood, and returned to the team even later than the time when Shiga's corpse was sent back to Otomo's main camp, and until this time, all the defeated soldiers under his command had not returned. Dajin Zhenzheng originally thought that he would not escape punishment this time, but he was only thrown into a safer rear, and he was immediately taken down with great gratitude.

And in fact, Otomo Yoshikan really wanted to cut down Dashen Zhenzheng with a knife in his heart. It's just that Ogami Zhenzheng is a retainer close to the Otomo family, and he is also a pawn of Otomo Yoshikan to suppress the Ojin family, so naturally he can't cut it, so he has to throw Ojin Zhenzheng into the back.

"Order, advance slowly, today must break through the enemy's large array to avenge the dead Shiga Kinmoru!" After sending the town of Okami away, Otomo Yoshikan immediately ordered to continue the attack. He is determined to invade the territory of the Luo family in one fell swoop and avenge the avenging army.

It's just that Masato obviously won't let him get his wish. At this time, Masarashi had already built a simple castle in the Kurume area between Mt. Kora and Chikugo River, and a ditch was dug in front of the castle and a fence was laid. In this large array, there were 200 members of the 4th Standing Ashigaru Brigade, 400 members of the 5th Standing Ashigaru Brigade, 400 members of the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Brigade, 200 Iron Artillery Brigade, 500 members of the 1st Standing Horse Cavalry Team, 300 samurai troops, 100 Cloak Guards, 50 Scouts, and 50 Heralds, for a total of 2,200 people. Almost two-fifths of the Luo family's standing reserves are concentrated here.

In addition, the 3,000 peasant soldiers who were temporarily recruited will be used as logistics units and engineering units in peacetime, and as reserve forces in wartime, ready to be put into battle at any time. The 3rd Standing Ashigaru Brigade, which guards Asahiyama Castle and Katsuo Castle on the north bank of the Chikugo River, will also be ready to support the large array on the south bank. In the waterway of the Chikugo River, dozens of ships of the 3rd Standing Navy Force are guarding the river.

This time, the Luo family and the Otomo family are at the foot of Mt. Kora, Chikugo. (To be continued......)
