On the mountain road in Takahama Mountain in the northern part of the Satsuma Kingdom of Mikuishu, teams of Shimazu family troops were moving slowly. As the general of the vanguard, Tadaro Ijiyuan, was riding a war horse standing on a hill next to a road, silently watching the passing of the army in front of him. At this time, the second team of deputy generals, Tadaro Shimazu, saw Tadaro Ijiyuan, and urged the horse to come over.

"Sir, why don't you advise the young master?" After saying hello to Tadara Shimazu, Tadara Shimazu complained in a low voice. In fact, he did not agree to take the initiative. After all, the enemy this time was not the former rich families of the North Satsuma, but the Luo family army supported by the ever-victorious army. In his heart, he seemed to have been ready to die on the battlefield for this battle. There were actually many Shimazu family ministers who had this idea. They had raised objections at the meeting, but because the young master had a great prestige in the family at this time, and the military advisor Tadara Ijiyuan did not object, everyone had to endure it. However, after seeing Tadara Ijiyuan Tadara Shimazu finally couldn't help but say what was in his heart.

Tadaro Ijiyuan on the horse was also a little regretful after hearing this. He himself was a little unwilling to take the initiative. First of all, the Luo family army is famous in various parts of Kyushu, which puts great pressure on his own people. Now even the generals are scared, let alone ordinary samurai and peasant soldiers. It is precisely because of this that the Shimazu family has fully suppressed [Chang][Feng] Literature has consolidated the news about the Luo family's formation, so that the samurai and peasant soldiers below can know the news. But paper cannot cover the fire. When I saw the Luo family's patterned flag in front of the formation

Later, the people below will always know that they will be affected even more. Secondly, the rich families of the North Satsuma are the rich families here. They are very familiar with the terrain of this place, just as the Ming Mandarin says, "the right time, place, and people." At this time, the other party has occupied the right place for a while. For the Shimazu family entering the area, the safer way is naturally to make steady progress and gradually annex. Finally, most of the territories of the North Satsumazu family had been annexed by Shimazuka before, and these rich families are at the right time to survive and die. Tadaro Ijiyuan is really worried that the other party will fight to the death.

However, Tadaro Ijiyuan also knew that this time the Shimazu family had to go out. After all, the Shimazu family's goal was to control the North Satsuma as soon as possible, and then attack the Osumi Kingdom with all their might. What's more, the Shimazu family had already beaten the North Satsuma family to the point of losing their armor before, and now they are almost the last battle to completely defeat these rebellious forces. In this case, how can the Shimazu family stop and allow those North Satsuma family to breathe a sigh of relief?

Moreover, taking the initiative to fight the Luo family was also the policy that the lord of the family, Shimazu Takaha, had determined at the beginning, and naturally it could not be violated. What's more, the young master of his family performed well in the previous Beisatsu strategy and achieved great achievements, so he was naturally full of energy. As the military advisor of Beisatsu this time, he naturally could not have conflicts with the young master. So he had to agree with the young master's plan to take the initiative. Thinking of this, Tadaro Ijiyuan had to smile bitterly and said to Tadara Shimazu who came to complain:

"Since the resolution has been decided, nothing can help. If you say anything, others will laugh at our young master for being stupid and unable to be a leader. This is not conducive to our family!"

Tadara Shimazu was still indignant about Tadaro Ijiyuan's answer, and finally said sadly: "Oh! There is no need to say anything about complaining and resentment. Take out the spirit of the Shimazu family samurai. It's a pity...ah!"

After being said by Tadara Shimazu, Tadaro Ijiyuan's mood seemed a little heavy, and he didn't want to say a word. At this time, Tadara Shimazu leaned over the horse, then looked around carefully, and finally said in a more emphasis: "Sir, you have to survive."

"Why is this disappointing thing?"

"If you lose a lot, please stop the rear and send the young master back to Shimazu's house safely."

Tadaro Yijiyuan shook his head gently: "I am stupid and may not be competent."

"If you don't take on this task, it will be troublesome. The young master is still young. Once he sees that the situation is not good, he may try his best to enter the enemy formation."

"Sir Zhongchang, I think you can do this job. Since I have decided, I have to obey military orders and lead by example, otherwise how will my morale rise? At that time, victory will turn into defeat. Don't say anything more."

"anyway……"

"No, I can't promise you. Otherwise, the day I will lose my head will not be long."

Tadaro Ijiyuan got off his horse, sighed, looking at the forest that appeared in the distance in the mist in the mountains, silent. Tadaro Shimazu's request was indeed a bit reluctant to do so. If so, he, who was appointed as the leader of the second team and the general of the pioneer formation, must stay for the rear. However, once he retreated to the rear, he still had the courage to survive.

When we crossed the mountain path, walked around the mountains, and arrived at the edge of the Genjian area, it was almost the hour of the lunar hour (that is, dusk). The sunset sun shone down, and the stream beside the mountain path turned golden. Everyone, as the pioneer general, found a puddle next to the mountain path and jumped off the horse.

"According to the new information of the detective fan, there seemed to be nearly 10,000 people on the other side (in fact, there were only about 7,000 people, and the rest of the "people" were created by Luo Huiliang, who sent people to use thatch to confuse the Shimazu family. This move was from his father Masaruto), so it was almost the same as the army that the family had launched this time." The person speaking was Kawakami, the chief general of the fourth team of the Shimazu family. The military force of the 2,000 people led by Tadsuke Kawayama was also a member of the pioneering formation (that is, the vanguard army).

"At this point, I can't retreat anymore. Since I still have to fight to the decisive battle, don't think too much! Haha, come on, cheers." Tadsuke Karayama took off the spoon from the horse's back and scooped a spoonful of water.

"Oh, it's really rare. Look, the shadow of the sun is reflected in the spoon." Kazusuke Kazuo smiled and took a sip, then handed the spoon to Tadaro Ijiyuan next to him.

Tadaro Ijiyuan held the spoon respectfully and muttered the words: "Hamanda Bodhisattva, just watch it, everyone, let's go first." After saying that, he sipped and handed it to Tadara Shimazu Tadara. Tadara Shimazu said nothing, and after taking a sip, he handed it to Kawakami Yoshiki.

"Oh, what a sweet spring water, it's so sweet that it's indescribable." Kawakami took a sip, and finally returned it to Tadorsuke of Kawayama.

"Hahaha..." Tadsuke Karayama laughed, "Just die like this, why do you say sound like a lie? Haha..." At this time, the cry of the goshawks came from somewhere. After listening carefully, the sound of the stream seemed to be a low sigh of the river deer...

On May 21, 1557, from dawn, the southeast wind blew violently, and the white sky was surging. The Shimazu family army's pioneering troops had advanced to the near Dakou Bridge, the farthest left wing in the Magento area. It was expected that the battle might start in the morning, and they had already prepared.

As the sky was dawn, the protective fence built in front of the coalition camp of the Luo family and the richest families of the North Satsuma family did not look very clear. The Shimazu family's first mission was to break through the fence and break into the enemy's camp.

"It's time to blow the horn of attack." Tadsuke Karayama looked ahead and said to himself. The short and concise horse he flew onto was particularly majestic.

"Hey, an enemy came outside the fence. Show me clearly who it is!" At this time, the soldiers from the coalition camp also discovered something.

The leader of the camp leader Takeuchi Kuji, who received the report from the soldiers, was also a little puzzled. In the early morning, a ray of light appeared on the black fence. He seemed to see some black shadows shaking outside. When he looked carefully, it turned out to be the military force of the Shimazu family.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" A warning sound suddenly sounded in the camp. It seemed that the coalition forces were not prepared at all for the arrival of the Shimazu family's army. Is the truth of the matter really like this? Obviously not. I have been prepared for the Luo family Huiliang.

Luo's subordinates, Shiga Yoshiki, Takeuchi Kuji, Anbu Minmen, Sano Kinshige and others, are the generals of the seventh regular team of the Luo family. When fighting, these people always attack the front. For the attack of the Shimazu family, these people were prepared under the arrangement of Luo family. Since the Yamashimazu family's army had won consecutive victories, they did not dare to be careless at all. After learning that the Shimazu family's army appeared in the Makoto area last night, they began to prepare before dawn. At this time, the reconnaissance officers sent previously had not come back, but the people of these people were ready to fight.

"Don't act rashly."

Luo Shi Huiliang ordered. He rode his horse alone to a small hill in the camp to observe the enemy situation. His vision was blurry and he couldn't see how many enemies there were. But once the enemy came out, it would be a great thing. If the enemy was huddled in the mountains and forests around the front of the camp, then the two sides would slowly confront each other.

"Report! The enemy outside the fence is the troops led by the Shimazu family Ishiyuan family."

Just as the detective was coming back to report, suddenly there were shocking shouts of killing from the front of the camp: "Kill! Kill!"

"Huh! Is it finally started? I'm waiting for your attack!" Luo Shi Huiliang listened for a while and whispered to himself.

At this time, the five thousand people who were the pioneering Shimazu family, including three thousand people led by Tadaro Ijiyuan and Tadaru Shimazu, and two thousand people led by Kawakami and Tadasuke Kawayama had already begun to arrange their offensive formations in front of the Luo family's coalition camp.

Zhonglang of Yijiyuan stayed in the horse's reins and stood on a hillside like a statue, motionless. After a long time, he shouted: "Please take care of everyone!" Then he urged the horse to run to the front of the formation like the wind.

The war began. No, it would be better to say that five thousand Shimazu soldiers rolled up a gust of wind in order to level the fence in front of the Luo family camp. The sky gradually brightened, the war drums pounded and the horns roared.
