It was May 23, the 23rd year of Astronomical.

In these months, the Luo family made great progress in front of Feng and Fenghou.

At the end of February, after a series of fierce battles, Takeda Tsu Castle in Koto Toshi County of Tomohiro Toshiha and Takekim Murakami were conquered by the fifth and sixth armies led by Tomohisa Oishi and Bukit Murakami respectively. In addition to the two fathers and sons of Takeda Tsunatsu, who were leading some of the family troops to resist the attack of the Luo family army in Jiaowei City, and the two sons of Takeda Tsu Town, the men of the Takeda Tsuna tribe, including Takeda Tsunatsu's legitimate son Takeda Tsunatsu, were all killed by the Luo family soldiers. Takeda Tsunatsu, who had been lingering in the Kotoshihara Peninsula for several generations, were almost almost exterminated.

After conquering the Takeda Tsuga family territory, the fifth and sixth armies rushed along the coast of the Kiyoshi Peninsula, which was attacked by the fourth army led by Kakumakuma Shisong and Aguda. The Yoshinori Tsuga family, who was attacked by both sides, was instantly in a storm.

In mid-March, the Nohaka family in the Shimomao County, Toyomae, who had been stubborn for several months, also surrendered. However, Gongmoto Shigetachi, Watanabe and others, who had long been angry with the stubborn resistance of the Nohaka family, directly massacred all the male members of the Nohaka family during the process of taking over the castle. Afterwards, Gongmoto Shigetachi, Watanabe and others were punished by the main general Masana Kinisho.

In early April, the last stubborn resistance point in the Toyomae country, the Yamada family in the Umao County was also ambushed while pursuing the Luo family army because of the fake retreat plan of Yamamoto Kazuki. The Yamada family army was killed and injured. Yamamoto Kazuki and Yoshida Shigemasa took the opportunity to capture Yamada Castle. The Yamada family was also exterminated.

With the destruction of these stubborn and powerful families one by one, the entire territory of Fengqian Kingdom was completely incorporated into the territory of the Luo family.

In late April, Takada Castle in Fenghou Kingdom was eventually conquered. However, the main reason for Takada Castle was not the joint attack of the three armies of the Luo family. Instead, it was because of the shortage of food in the city, which caused civil unrest. Therefore, the Luo family army took the opportunity to invade the city. During the drought last year, the policy of opening granaries to relieve refugees in Otoyo Town forcibly implemented by Otoyo Town finally had an adverse impact over time.

Like Takada Castle, Jiaowei Castle, the last stronghold of the Otomo family, was also in a crisis of food shortage. The Otomo family never expected that the Luo family's strategy was so firm that it had been persistent from last year to now. It has been more than half a year.

Although Jiaowei City, one of the important towns of the Otomo family, did have reserved a lot of food and other supplies before, due to the opening of warehouses and releasing grain last year, a lot of food was consumed in the granary. Now, it has been besieged by the Luo family's army for such a long time. Not only has the food, but even the salt has been used up.

With the fall of Takata Castle, all the troops of the Luo family also surrounded Jiaowei City. In late May, nearly 20,000 Luo family troops had gathered outside Jiaowei City. Seeing that the Luo family was about to launch a general attack on Jiaowei City. Because of the lack of salt and food and being besieged for so long, the defenders in Jiaowei City had long lost their determination to resist.

On May 28, 23rd, the 23rd year of the Fifth World. As the decisive battle was about to be fought, Zhengliang received a document shot from Jiaowei City. The document invited the Luo family to fight to the decisive battle tomorrow. But I hope that the Luo family can stop attacking Jiaowei City today.

"I'm afraid there is a fraud here!" Yamamoto Kazusuke, who learned the content of the document, said immediately.

"good!"

...

The other generals in Masara's main tent also nodded in favor of Yamamoto Kazusuke's inference.

"Lord, please go to the city to persuade Otomo's house." At this moment, Rikadao Xue suddenly asked for her order.

"Persist in surrender?" Zhengliang was stunned and then smiled indifferently, "Daoxue, the defenders in the city have been persisting for more than half a year. At this time, they still proposed the date of the decisive battle to us. Obviously, the other party surrendered unintentionally, and you will only increase the danger when you go in."

"Oh!" Rika Daoxue sighed after hearing this, and then sat back in her seat.

"No matter what trick the other party has in this move, let the soldiers be prepared immediately if they go on. As for their appointment, I will agree to them." Zhengliang said at last.

On that day, the Luo family agreed to the Otomo family's ceasefire and decisive battle agreement, so the fights everywhere stopped for a while, and silence enveloped the inside and outside of Jiaowei City.

"Dong, dun, dun..."

"Build a wine restaurant in the evening, and the border town is vast and the moon is vast."

...

Shortly after the truce, bursts of small drums and high-singing sounds came from Jiaowei City. The famous song "Gaoguan" was being sung loudly at this time. After hearing this song by more than 3,000 soldiers from Otomo in the city, they couldn't help but burst into tears. They were all ready to die with the city tomorrow.

"Is this the last sound of Otomo's family?" When the song reached Masayoshi outside the city's ears, Masayoshi looked at the towering Jiaowei City and said to himself.

The next day, before dawn, Zhengliang put on the battlefield and came to the city of Jiaowei in person, and beat the war drum to launch a decisive battle.

"Dong, dun, dun..."

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

As the war drum sounded, more than 20,000 Luo family troops shouted loudly and began to attack Jiaowei City. This battle actually decided the final outcome from the moment it started. How could the more than 3,000 defenders who were short of salt and food have been defeated at this time because they fully captured the relevant areas of Fengqian and Fengqian countries, and were prepared to have more than 20,000 people?

So, starting from the morning, the deafening sound of war drums, iron cannons, large tubes, arrows, neighing of war horses, crying of soldiers, etc., continued throughout the entire Jiaowei City, and continued until dusk.

The mansion of the lord of Jiaowei City was full of cherry blossoms and morning glory. At this time, Otoyoshi, who was haggard, was sitting under a cherry blossom tree.

More than an hour after the decisive battle, relatives outside the yard kept coming in to report bad news. First, the Uemaru city wall was blown up a big hole by the terrifying weapon that could make loud noises in the Luo family, and then a large number of Luo family troops rushed into Uemaru. Soon after, Ninomaru was also captured. In the afternoon, even Minomaru was captured. Just now, the city wall of Honmaru was also announced to be anxious. Seeing that the Luo family army was about to rush in.

Otoyoshi Town had long expected such a result. In fact, as long as the Luo family was willing to pay enough price, Jiaowei City had long been captured by the Luo family. However, the hateful fat eagle seemed to deliberately tease and humiliate Otoyoshi Town, but it had not launched a real siege. This feeling was like deliberately cutting Otoyoshi Town's flesh with a knife and slashing, which made Otoyoshi Town very embarrassed.

Every night, Otoyoshi Town always dreams of the ugly face of Masayoro Luo. He keeps saying to him: "I won't kill you, I will save your life and let you slowly watch how the Otoyo family, who once dominated Kyushu, was eaten by the Luo family step by step. I will trap you to death in the city, and only when you are exhausted will you give you a chance to die."

Whenever he dreams of such a dream, Otoyoshi would wake up from a nightmare and then unable to fall asleep for a long time. He once complained countless times that he was born too late. If he had been born a few years earlier and inherited the position of the governor of the Ototo family for a few years, perhaps the final outcome of the Ototo family would not have been like this. When Otoyoshishi succeeded the governor of the family, the Ototo family had been hit by the Luo family and had only a mess left. No matter how high his ability was, he could not fight with the wise and brave Masayoshi Luo with such a mess.

During Otoyoshi's life, he never fought with Masaro Luo. This time it was the time when the two of them faced each other head-on, but it was the time when the Ototo family was in trouble.

"It's time." After pondering for a long time, Otoyoshi Town looked up at the afterglow of the setting sun and suddenly said. Otoyoshi Town's sudden words made Koshiro, who was standing nearby, stunned for a moment.

Then Koshiro heard Otoyoshi Town's voice again: "It's time, Koshiro, let's make a mistake for me."

"Ah? Lord?" Koshiro was immediately frightened and took a few steps back.

"Didn't you hear it? I'm wrong about it. Even if I die, I will definitely not be stained by the lowly bloody swords of the Luo family." Otoyoshi said again.

"Such as a mistake..." Koshiro's faint voice seemed to melt into the sunlight at dusk, "If... if it's a life... the order, I... I will obey the order." After saying that, Koshiro shivered and pulled out the Taidao on his waist. The snow-white Taidao's body immediately shone out in the afterglow of the sunset.

The sun had already set in the west, but the sky was suddenly filled with blood-red sunset. Seeing Koshiro's actions, Otoyoshi's mouth was filled with a happy smile.

"please……"

After receiving the order from his lord again, Koshiro picked up the sword, turned to behind Otoyoshi Town, and quickly raised it. However, for some reason, he suddenly staggered and his body shaking, as if he could not find a place to cut the sword in an instant. In the end, he fell to the ground with his butt.

"Koshiro, what's wrong with you?"

"Wuwuwu..." Koshiro did not answer, but burst into tears. He didn't know why, but he felt his arms were numb and his legs were weak.

"Don't be too long-winded, hurry up..." Otoyoshi urged again.

"Master, I...I...can't be the lord's introduction."

"Can't do it? Well, then I won't force you anymore. Haha, resentment arises quietly. When I find out, the flowers have been transformed into a rami and urged them to disperse..." After saying that, Otoyo Yoshijin suddenly pulled out the knife from his waist, and slashed the knife into his lower abdomen with a whisper. The severe pain spread throughout his body in an instant.

However, at this time, his heart suddenly became thrust, as if he was looking for a way to survive, "Ha... since I gave birth to me... why... you?" In the end, with a full eye of unwillingness, the 21st generation of the Otomo family died in despair.

"Lord, please wait for me." After hearing the strange noise in the yard, several retainers who came in, saw Otoyoshi and died of separatism, they also knelt in front of Otoyoshi and died in vain. In an instant, in the yard full of cherry blossoms and morning glory, corpses were lying all over the floor.

"Lord, since you don't want to be stained by the lowly bloodline of the Luo family after death, then I will follow your orders." Xiao Silang murmured to himself as he looked at the corpses all over the ground.

Then he trembled and walked to the corpse that had already begun to stiffen in Otoyo Yi Town, and knelt down on the ground, gently, just like treating a lover, and used his hands to clean up the corpse of Otoyo Yi Group.

At this time, there were already bursts of shouts and killing sounds outside the yard. It seemed that the army of the Luo family had already captured Honmaru and killed him. There was not much time left.

So Koshiro immediately stood up and saluted Otoyoshi Town's body again. After raising the sword in his hand. He suddenly shouted "Ah", closed his eyes and waved it down with all his strength. Otoyoshi Town's head was cut down.

"Wuwuwuwu... lord!" Looking at Otoyoshi Town's head that rolled to the side, Koshiro shouted and rushed to the ground, holding Otoyoshi Town's head in his arms.

After a long time, Koshiro looked up at the cherry blossom tree in front of him, then slowly climbed under the largest cherry blossom tree in the yard, leaning against the trunk of the cherry blossom tree, holding Ototo Yoshi Town's head in his left hand, and holding the knife pulled out of Ototo Yoshi Town with his right hand.

He smiled and looked at the head of Otoyoshi Town again, and Koshiro shouted suddenly, "Lord, I'm here." After that, he stabbed directly into his abdomen. With the severe pain all over his body, Koshiro slowly closed his eyes with a smile.
