Feathered arrows with cold light roared towards Otomo Yoshikan. The latter was still running desperately, completely unaware that the Grim Reaper behind him was rapidly approaching.

"Be careful!" The retainers of the Otomo family, who were facing Otomo Yoshikan in front, noticed that they saw Masarashi raising his bow and shooting arrows on his horse, and immediately came running wildly and reminded loudly. It's a pity it's too late.

"Whoosh-peck-uh!"

First there was an arrow, then the sound of a feather arrow entering the flesh, and finally a muffled snort.

Yoshikan Otomo, who was running for his life, suddenly felt a pain in his back, and then his nerves suddenly spasmed. The intense pain suddenly broke his already tense nerves. He suddenly felt the sky spin around.

At the moment when his eyes were completely darkened, he seemed to hear an exclamation from ahead, and he saw the panicked expressions of his retainers in the corner of his eye. "Is this the end of it?" This is the last sentence in Otomo Yoshikan's thinking before he completely fell into a coma.

"It's a pity!" Seeing that Otomo Yoshikan, who was shot, was guarded by the Otomo family army who came to meet him, he couldn't help but feel pity in his conscience.

"Lord!" At this time, Isono Yuanchang, who rushed to the side, looked at Masara and said. He was apparently asking what to do next.

Masara looked ahead again, and saw that the army of the Otomo family in front of him was only more than sixty people, although at this time there was still a part of the army coming from the city of Hiyo City, but it didn't seem that there were many people.

Is it an empty city plan? Zhengliang couldn't help but hesitate. With the number of troops that can be seen so far, it is obviously impossible to defeat the thirty horsemen around Masara just at this time, but there are more than 200 Luo family cloaks and samurai coming from the rear.

"Fight!" The so-called wealth is sought in danger. Masarashi gritted his teeth. In the end, it was decided to take the risk and continue to hunt down Yoshiken Otomo, who had been protected. Come to think of it. He immediately pulled out the ghost cut on his waist and shouted:

"Kill!"

"Kill!" Masayo's decision was exactly in line with the meaning of Isono Yuanchang and others, so everyone immediately grabbed the horse's belly and shouted loudly to kill the Otomo family army that was forming a formation again.

"Vertical guns! Give me a spear! Seeing that the thirty war horses on the opposite side were actually galloping towards him, a retainer of the Otomo family, who seemed to be the leader, immediately shouted.

"Kill!" Masashi and the others shouted and arrived in a blink of an eye.

"Poof!" Masarashi instantly used a move to slash down three Otomo soldiers in a row on the horse. On the other side, Isono Yuanchang was not bad, and with one shot, he picked and killed the opposing general who had just organized everyone to set up a gun array. It's just that a few people on the other side are quite brave, and they even pounced on Zhengliang and the others without their lives.

Masarashi swung his sword to attack the enemy while looking for the figure of Otomo Yoshikan. I saw a samurai carrying the unconscious Otomo Yoshikan on his back and quickly running towards the gate of Hijo Castle.

After Masarashi forced back a besieging Otomo samurai, he immediately pulled the reins. Drove the war horse to chase from the side.

"Die!" At this time, a samurai of the Otomo family saw that he couldn't stop Masayo's war horse, so he simply jumped up and raised his sword to slash at Masayo's war horse in disregard of defense. Masara quickly pulled the reins to dodge the blow.

"How come there are so many crazy people in the Otomo family? Don't even want your own life? "Masa-ra was really annoyed. Along the way, the pursuit of Otomo Yoshikan has encountered this kind of dead man who sacrificed his life for his lord several times. What Zhengliang doesn't know is that these are the so-called "heritage" of the wealthy family, which has strong economic and military strength, and there are many such loyal retainers who have been brainwashed for generations.

"Dumiao Sword" Zheng Conscience silently thought, and raised his sword to use a nirvana. Since he was on a horse, the effect of his skills was affected a lot, but he still cut the samurai into two pieces with one sword. It's just such a delay. Several more people gathered around, and the samurai with Otomo Yoshikan on his back had already walked away. I was about to reach the city gate. Although there were already several cavalry on the Luo family's side that had penetrated the obstruction of the Otomo family and chased after them, it was obviously too late to catch up.

"Kill!" Annoyed, Masarashi slashed a spear that had stabbed him, and then shouted. Seeing that the family governor was so brave, the morale of the surrounding Luo family cavalry suddenly rose. They all shouted and slashed.

Although the enemy had more than 60 people intercepting them, with the convenience of their war horses, the cavalry of the Luo family finally broke out of the siege and rushed towards the gate of Riyu City.

"Close the gates!"

Seeing that the cavalry of the Luo family was coming, although the other party only had less than thirty horses, but he clearly knew that the strength of the guards in the city at this time alone could not repel the enemy. As long as you don't charge these cavalry head-on, and close the gates, the city can be saved. As for the lord and the great friend Yoshikan, we have to see how the arrow wound is. Thinking of this, Usuki Jiansu's heart was already gloomy.

"Kill!"

Seeing Otomo Yoshikan being carried into the city, Masashi couldn't help but become furious, and immediately slapped the horse's buttocks and accelerated the speed of the sprint forward.

"Quick, knock down the grain carts, knock down these grain carts." Usuki Jiansu didn't expect Masato to be so brave, and he rushed out of the Luo family's cavalry group at once, and he was about to rush to the city gate. At this time, the city gate was only half closed, and in desperation, Usuki Jiansu had to quickly let people push down the grain carts on the aisle of the city gate.

These grain carts were prepared in advance by the mortar pestle, and the response was to this situation of not being able to close the city gate in time, so as to prevent the opposing cavalry from rushing directly into the city. When he first saw the cavalry of the Luo family, he expected this.

Zhengliang was riding a war horse and galloping quickly, and saw a cart of grain suddenly piled up in the city gate from a distance, and the grain cart instantly blocked the city gate, resulting in the result that the war horse could not quickly pass through the city gate, and the city could not close the city gate. Behind the grain cart was a row of spears. He immediately pulled the war horse, the war horse neighed, the front half of the body stood up directly, and finally barely stopped in front of the city gate. If he continued to rush forward, Masahiro would probably fall into the city gate, and his men and horses would be stabbed into hedgehogs.

"Hiss......" There was a long neighing sound of the war horse urgently stopping, and at the moment when Masara stopped the war horse, Isono Yuanchang and others behind him also killed.

"Whoosh......" At this time, the peasants in the city also began to draw their bows and attack.

"Kill!" Seeing that he could no longer ride a horse, Masarashi turned over, dodged an arrow from the side, jumped directly to the ground, and then raised his sword and killed the city gate. At this time, the only place in the city gate could avoid being a target for archers.

"Surround them." At this moment, the troops of the Otomo family behind him, who were originally responsible for intercepting the cavalry of the Luo family, also caught up. Some of the cavalry of the Luo family pulled the reins and turned back to kill the enemy soldiers who were coming from behind, and some of them jumped off their horses and followed Masato directly to the gate of Riyu City.

Since two cavalrymen had been killed in the assault, there were only twenty-nine people left in the Luo family's army plus Zhengliang at this time. On the other hand, on the side of the Otomo family, there are at least more than 30 people outside the city in Japan, and there are more than a dozen people inside the city gate, so it is obvious that the Otomo family has a more dominant military position in terms of numbers.

But by this time, it was impossible for Masato to give up. Because judging from the current situation of the enemy, the city gate is already in a critical state, but there are no reinforcements in the city to help, what does this mean?

This shows that Ri Cheng is obviously empty, and such a good opportunity to seize the city, Zheng Liang will naturally not let it go. Besides, even if you want to continue to hunt down Otomo Yoshikan, you have to attack this castle first.

And capturing this city is obviously more favorable to the Luo family's defensive situation. Because there was no danger on the border between Chikugo and Bungo provinces, the only danger was just a low hillside sandwiched between the tall mountains on both sides, which could not withstand the strong attack of the enemy formation, which is why the Otomo family did not garrison the garrison there. If you climb over this hillside, you can drive straight to Chikugo Kunicho. On the other hand, Higajo Castle strictly controlled the road from Chikugo Province and Chikuzen Province to Bungo Province, and vice versa.

So in an instant, Masarashi temporarily changed his goal this time from chasing and killing Otomo Yoshikan to capturing Higaya Castle.

Just when Masara and the others were fighting at the gate of the city, the Usuki in the city saw that the city was in danger, and even made a crazy move immediately. (To be continued......)
