Astronomical 12, 1543 A.D., June 20.

After leaving the casualties in the siege of Takashiro and some of the logistical peasants in Takashiro to assist the officials of the Cabinet in guarding the slaves, Masarashi led an army of nearly 3,000 men to a mile outside Shoushan Castle on the way to enter the territory of the Arimajia Plateau Peninsula.

At this time, an army of nearly 6,000 people had gathered in the castle. The general situation of the first battle of Takajo was brought back to Shoushan Castle by the Arima family detective near the battlefield.

After some heated arguments, the temporary acting governor of the Arima family, Yoshisada Arima, decided to start a field battle with the Luo family outside the city first. After all, in the case of the first battle from Gaocheng, even if they stay in the city and fight in the cage city, they may not be the opponent of the Luo family, rather than being beaten in the city, it is better to fight outside the city first, at least in terms of numbers, they are almost twice as large as the Luo family's army. Even if you lose, you can still calmly retreat into the city.

The two armies met on a flat land by the side of the Ariaki River, a mile away from Shoushan Castle. At this time, the army of the Luo family was nearly 3,000 people, while the army of the Arima family who went out of the city to meet the battle had 5,000 people, leaving less than 1,000 people to defend the city.

As soon as he saw the other party's camp, Masara almost wanted to laugh. Is the commander of the opposing army an idiot? The camp was set up on the shore with its back to the Ariake River. What's even more ridiculous is that on the side of the mountain forest, the only flat place that can cross the Ariake River, the other party did not send someone to guard it. Is this blocking his own retreat, and then learning from Xiang Yu to break the boat? It's just that judging from the mixed camp that the other party is a little scattered, how can you not see the momentum of breaking the kettle?

"Yahachiro, what do you think of the enemy camp?" While the two sides are still resetting their camps. Zhengliang began to study the two surnames around him again.

"My lord. In the Roche Dojo. You once said that if you fight, you must be defeated before you fight. It would be unwise for the opposing general to completely ignore the question of the retreat in the event of defeat at all. As soon as he heard that Masarashi was testing himself, Honda Masanobu, who was standing behind Masara, immediately said what he thought.

"Hmm." Masarashi nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the other one and asked, "Master Hiko, what about you?" ”

Seeing Honda Masanobu's answer, he was appreciated by the head of the family. Naoshige Nabeshima, who had been secretly competing with Honda Masanobu, naturally wanted to behave well, but he straightened his chest, and then said: "My lord, if you set up a formation below, you will definitely set up a camp on the other side of the river, and at the same time send someone to block the only mountain and forest path that reaches the other bank by land." ”

"Okay, hahaha." When Zhengliang heard this, he laughed. After hearing this, Kakuma Shizong and the others next to him also suddenly felt that the family was going to add a few generals in the future.

"Lord Arima, it seems that the young master of Arima is not as good as the two little surnames below!" Masahiro's most embarrassing sigh made Arima Qingjun, who was already flushed, almost die of shame.

"Alright, herald. Let Andel's Iron Artillery Team let the enemy team see the martial arts of their own family first. "After seeing that the family's large array has been basically arranged, Masahiro doesn't care about the scattered camp of the enemy army that is still wriggling. Immediately ordered. Although the cavalry with the strongest combat power in the field is not there, there is an iron artillery team to attack first, and I believe that those who have never seen the power of iron cannons again will turn around and run away in fear.

As the Iron Artillery Corps formed in front of the Luo family's army, the opposing coalition forces finally counterattacked. It is estimated that they received information about the power of these weapons in the First Battle of Takajo, so the other side immediately advanced on all fronts.

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......" The loud sound of the musket kept ringing out, and Ander was already a veteran of the battle, seeing that the enemy position was reacting, his side quickly prepared for the shooting, and then decisively launched the order to attack.

Zhengliang, who was under the banner of the Chinese army, looked from afar, and saw dozens of people in the enemy camp falling down in a sparse manner. The hit rate is a little unsatisfactory, but the basic level of firearms in this era is like this, not to mention that it is still at such a distance!

Compared to the hit rate, its loud sound is the most lethal killer. Most of the camp in the Arima family were improvised peasant soldiers, and most of these guys didn't even know what a musket was, and even many people would use it as a burning stick when they picked up a musket, and now they suddenly saw something that made a loud noise, and it was no wonder that they weren't afraid. Suddenly, the enemy camp, which was still moving forward, began to flinch.

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang...... "The Luo family's iron artillery team will not be merciful because you are afraid, and taking advantage of the chaos of the enemy formation, they did not hesitate to launch a second round of attacks.

After several rounds of attacks like this, there was a rout in the opponent's large array.

"Order, the front army will attack with all its might." Masashi would let go of such an opportunity and immediately gave the order for a frontal attack.

"Kill, blow up their chrysanthemums." Executors who received Masayo's order, Tankane, Tetsunosuke, and Asakura Munetoshi immediately shouted and led their men to kill the enemy position.

There was no shortage of martial arts in the opposing camp, and they immediately shouted and greeted the army of the Luo family.

"Before and after! Arrow! Seeing that someone on the other side dared to come to meet him at this time, he immediately sneered and shouted, and the team behind him suddenly transformed into two conical military formations, one in front and one behind, in the process. The samurai who followed him were the samurai of the samurai team that Masato specially assigned to him this time, and their combat power was the strongest in the Luo family except for the cloaks.

I saw that the team that carried out the combination of seeds was like an awl, and it was hard to divide the enemy formation into two halves from the center, and after killing the enemy formation, they turned around and re-entered the enemy formation, which really turned the enemy formation upside down.

"Hey!" In the melee, Asakura Sodra swung his sword in his hand, and he was in a flank position facing the attack of several enemy soldiers.

Three spears stabbed at him at once, and he cut off two of them, while the third was already in front of him by this time. He turned sideways and dodged the vital position with an extremely thrilling time difference, and with a thud the tip of the gun slashed a spark on his breastplate! But by this time he had already turned around and stabbed him backhand, and the soul of another enemy soldier left his body.

"Kill!" Tetsunosuke nearby was obviously stimulated by Asakura Sod's bravery, and he roared and danced the spear in his hand into a ring, the head of the spear flashing with a little silver light. With the splash of silver light, the nearby enemy soldiers suddenly flew with blood and flesh......

"Fuck!" Two hours later, Tetsunosuke and Asakura Sodrip were both scolding angrily as they desperately raised their feet and kicked a small dirt bag on the ground. They are venting their frustrations.

Because the army of the Arima family completely collapsed, they were defeated after leaving behind more than 300 heads and more than 1,000 prisoners. An army of 5,000 people, in addition to these dead and captured people, Arima Yoshisada fled back to Shoushan Castle with a team of only a few hundred people.

The remaining 3,000 people ran directly into the wilderness to hide, and it is estimated that they will hide in their homes later and no longer participate in this war. After all, fighting was a matter for lords, and now they almost lost their lives, and they didn't get much in pay, so they would rather hide in their homes and continue to be farmers. Because the fight is not enjoyable, Tetsunosuke and Asakura Sodrip are dissatisfied. It is estimated that they have cursed Arima Yizhen's incompetence countless times in their hearts at this moment.

"Lord Arima, Your Excellency also heard it, my vanguard has reached the foot of Shoushan Castle, and there are now less than 2,000 defenders in it, do you think they can still resist the front of their own family?" After instructing the wounded soldiers and prisoners, Masarashi turned his head to stare at Arima Harumi and said.

"Now is the time for you to make a decision, this is the last chance I have given your Excellency, otherwise, the fate of the Omura family and the Saigo family will be an example for the Arima family." At this time, Masahiro's eyes were sharp and compelling.

"Report, the third standing naval army Murakami's military commander Fu Bukit asked to see him." At this moment, the cloaks outside the military tent came in to report.

"Oh? Has it finally arrived? Looks like good news! Masarashi glanced playfully at Arima Haruki, who was still holding on, and then said.
