Under the city of the wild king in Yuanjiang Kingdom, the battle of the Cangcheng is about to begin.

Compared with the offensive and defensive sides, the number of military forces is 5,000 to 3,000, which is obviously because Okabe Motonobu's military force is advantageous, so Okabe Motonobu simply set up a forcibly attacking formation. Of course, he also has his own considerations.

The military strategy says: Knowing oneself and knowing oneself and his enemy will never be defeated in a hundred battles. Okabe Motonobu is confident that he knows himself and his enemy. Although Imagawa Jung-seok had never stayed in the Imagawa family for too long before, I even knew that Imagawa Jung-seok was the second son of the previous governor of the family, Yoshimoto Imagawa. Now, after Imagawa Yoshimoto died, Imagawa suddenly jumped out to compete for the position of the family governor.

From this we can see that Imagawa Jung's ability to command operations is almost zero, and there is really no experience. Although Imagawa Jung's army had occupied a large area of ​​the territory of the Imagawa Country like a bamboo shoot, it was also because at this time, the former governor Imagawa Yoshimoto died in battle, and a large number of Imagawa family members were either killed or seriously injured. Some were even on their way back to their respective family territories, and a large number of soldiers fled, resulting in the emptiness of all parts of the Imagawa Country, such as the Three Rivers Kingdom and the Imagawa Country. This made Imagawa Jung's opportunity to make such a frightened achievement.

This point can be seen from his easy blocking of the Asabina family in Kawagawa Castle, and his rapid retreat with Okabe Motoshinobu himself (poor Okabe Motoshinobu, at this time, he did not know that Imakawa Jungawa was just a cover for the Luo family to control the Toro Country area. The real behind-the-scenes commander is the member of the Luo family!).

So without knowing the real facts, with confidence in victory, Okabe Motonobu commanded the army to start attacking. Under his command, more and more troops that resisted the Imakawa family's Akanobu pattern flag appeared under the royal city.

Dozens of red bird-patterned flags swayed in the wind. There were some family-patterned flags of Suruga and Tori countries. They seemed very powerful. In this situation, the army under the city suddenly separated in a row among the crowd, and a group of people came out. In the middle of the crowd, the general Okabe Motonobu himself, who was the general of the battle. He coughed twice, and Lang Sheng shouted: "Imakawa Jung-seok came out quickly!"

Hearing the shouts at the city, Imakawa Jung-ryu and Luo Shi Noburo next to him looked at each other. After both of his hair showed a look of "as expected", Imakawa Jung-ryu walked from the second front to the city wall of the first front, inserted the naginata in his hand into the haystack of the city wall, and then shouted loudly: "I am Imakawa Jung-ryu, who are you?" Imakawa Jung-ryu actually knew Okabe Motoshi, but now the other party is not good at coming, so he naturally is too lazy to be polite.

After seeing the appearance of Imakawa Zaner, Okabe Motonobu immediately raised his voice and shouted: "I am the one who is Okabe Goro's army, Tanba Shuimuno. Imakawa Zaner, as the son of the Imakawa family, you have committed chaos at such a special moment in the Imakawa family. I am really ashamed of the ancestors of the Imakawa family, and you should not abandon the darkness and turn to the light quickly. Kaichiro surrenders, and Imakawa can serve as a guarantor to plead with your family governor to avoid death."

"Hahaha..." Faced with Okabe Motonobu's deliberate scolding before the war and using despicable means to reduce the morale of the defenders, Imagawa Jungrei laughed at first, then his face turned solemn, and shouted loudly, "All nonsense! In his hand, he had a blood-written will from his father, which was to be assigned to the position of the governor of the family. Imagawa was not afraid of the man who took advantage of the danger and took advantage of the time when the man returned to Suruga. It was really despicable. But God was also dissatisfied with him and deliberately lowered the fire to punish him. I would like to ask, since his father unfortunately died in battle, Imagawa Jungrei made no achievements. What kind of virtue can he be able to seize the position of the governor of the family? For the sake of the Imagawa family, I would like to persuade you in the name of the tenth generation of the governor of the Imagawa family, and I would like to persuade you to submit to you quickly."

"You? You? You?" Okabe Motoshi Shin-shi really didn't expect that Imagawa Jung-ri would be so eloquent. Moreover, the Imagawa family that Imagawa Jung-ri said was really helpless in the situation of the Imagawa family at this time. Faced with such a fact, he could not respond for a while. In the end, he had to curse "a lot of nonsense" and then return to the formation.

As for Okabe Motonobu's escape in a panic, under the leadership of Imakawa Jungre, the people guarding the city laughed out loud, and the morale of the defenders immediately increased a lot. Then, Imakawa Jungre even raised his hands and shot an arrow with a "whim" sound. It was obvious that it was impossible to shoot Okabe Motonobu. After all, the arrow was far away halfway. However, because the number of siege troops was too dense, an unlucky guy was shot on his neck and fell to the ground with his eyes rolling.

After shooting the bow and arrow, Imakawa Jungre suddenly pulled out the naginata in the haystack, held it high above the top, and shouted: "I hereby announce that all the territories who have become territories in the territory of the lower land will prepare them for their crops and copper farm tools next year. They will be distributed to the territories for free from spring plowing next year, and the agricultural tax will be reduced to six public officials and four farmers! As for the tyrants who surrender to the lower land, I hereby declare to ensure that their territory will not be reduced, and even the tributes submitted will be reduced every year. The earlier they surrender to the lower land, the less tributes they pay will be paid!"

"Wow!" As Imakawa Jung-seok said this, it not only caused the enthusiasm of the defenders in the royal city, but also caused riots in the siege under the city.

"Everyone, kill me for what you have obtained!" Seeing this, Imakawa Jungre immediately remembered the orders of Yamamoto Kazusuke, the military advisor in charge of the rear of the city, and immediately started to drink.

So the defenders around him followed him, raising their arms and shouting: "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Seeing that not only had no hope of persuading surrender before, but also made the other party's morale high, the soldiers on his side were affected a lot and even caused a little riot. So, it can only be said that there was no room for maneuver besides the strong attack. So, not long after, under the leadership of Okabe Motonobu, a group of Imakawa soldiers began to act, and they slowly moved towards the royal city with various weapons in their hands.

The king city gradually became quiet at this time, and the boiling hot water was bubbling in the copper pot. Imakawa Jungre, who was supposed to stay in the second front, had to continue to boost the morale of the defenders, so he also stood in front of the first front. However, at this time he heard a slight trembling of teeth. He turned his head and looked at the boy beside him with soft eyes. The boy looked only thirteen or four years old, and his face was still childish. He was holding a short gun tightly in his hand, and his hands holding the gun were trembling gently.

Imakawa Jung-sei patted the boy's shoulder and said calmly: "Don't be afraid, just follow me later." After that, he ignored the boy, scraped the blade with his thumb's fingertips, squinted his eyes and carefully felt the feeling coming from his fingertips. Although he was not very old, since he was not very old in the past, when he was hostage in the Luo family, he not only participated in all the courses of the Luo Family War Academy, but also followed the Lord Zhengliang to participate in several battles, so he was already used to wars.

The young man next to him was named Yashiro Matsushima, who was a leader of a village on the bank of Matsu Lake, Toujiang. He learned that he could earn a lot of food and coins for his family after participating in the military force of Imakawa Jung, so he came with the rest of the village. He was too young before, and he had been helping Imakawa Jung's military force to transport supplies as a logistics staff member. Now, because he needed to defend the city, he was also dispatched to the city wall. Because it was the first time he was really facing the battlefield, he naturally felt nervous and scared.

After soothing the nervous Yashiro Matsushima, Imakawa Jungrei suddenly shouted loudly: "The enemy is coming to the city gate, the enemy is coming to the city gate, let them see how powerful the warriors are in preparation, ready, big spoon, yes, big spoon, give them a bath!" As the shouting, Imakawa Jungrei kept walking in front of the city wall with a naginata, encouraging the trembling soldiers in the city guarding. At the same time, Takahashi Shaoyun, Kenke Hachibashi, Kenke Nakatsuki, Shiramatsu Nobukashi, and Maedada Takigata were also doing the same thing.

Imakawa Jung-rye looked back at the wall. The boiling water in the copper pot was emitting white air. As long as you pour a few buckets of Okabe Moto Nobuki's army outside the city, it would be enough for Okabe Moto Nobuki who dared to sit in the royal city to blister and roll around the ground, no god or Buddha could save them.

Imakawa Jungre climbed up the watchtower, then stood on the top of the tower, shouting loudly: "Everyone, I will announce again here that in my family, only military merits are top priority. Beheading one can be exchanged for one stone of land. Beheading five can be turned into a samurai, and beheading fifteen can be given a long sword and become a formal samurai. Regardless of the origin, only in terms of military merits, some of them are from ronin, some are from peasants, and even more so are from mountain people. As long as they obtain enough military merits, everyone can become a samurai."

Some of the defenders who were still trembling all their eyes turned red when they heard the military merit system of Imagawa Jung. They looked at the Okabe Motonobu army outside the city no longer being the powerful Imagawa family soldiers, but treasure mountains.

Imakawa Jung-ryu's voice was loud and his voice could be heard from afar. A "coaxing" sound immediately came from around him. Such an incentive policy immediately worked. Even the originally very nervous recruits flashed with excitement. The samurai class, respected and has a high social status, was the ruling class at that time.
