Warring States Eagle

On the morning of September [-]th, Tianwen Nine Years.After offering sacrifices at the Hachiman Shrine and praying for victory in the battle, the coalition forces officially set off.The forwards were divided into two formations and started first. The Luo family and the Sashi family marched along the left bank of the Matsuura River, and the other two small tyrants marched along the right bank.

The team went all the way, and after half an hour, they came to a place called Dachuan, and saw a stone city lying in front of the mountain, and the city was already full of ashigaru standing in battle at this time.

"That's it?" Seeing the situation in front of him, Zheng Liang couldn't help asking suspiciously.

"My lord, that is Rizai Castle of our family, and now the important minister of our family, Ri Xiang Yamato, is guarding him. After bypassing Rizai Castle, he will formally enter the territory of the Hirado Matsuura Clan," said a detective in charge of leading the way. Fan immediately reported.

That is Ri in the city?Masara couldn't help but think of historical records. Because he guarded the confluence of Matsuura River and Taochuan River, he could reach Imari Castle along the Taochuan River, and Takeo Castle controlled by the Goto family along the Matsuura River. The strategic location is important, so in history The owner of this mountain city has been changed several times.In the not-too-distant future, after the Hirado Matsuura clan and the Matsuura clan clan surrendered to Bodo one after another, Bodo followed the example of its ancestors and integrated all the powerhouses in Matsuura County into an alliance. .In the future, after Bota fell into civil strife, the Hirado Matsuura clan took the opportunity to gradually rise up, and this place will also become the main battlefield of the two wars.

"Well, since that's the case, we don't need to make any stopovers, we will bypass Ri and move on in the city" After thinking for a while.Zheng Liang decided.Don't trust others casually at any time, who knows what will be waiting for you in this city?In case the city lord in the city has been instigated by the Hirado Matsuura clan, wouldn't he become someone else's prey if he went in.Besides, this ri Xiang Yamato Shouzi was one of the important figures who caused the civil strife in the Matsuura family in the future.It's better to pass quickly.Therefore, under Zhengliang's command, the troops of the Luo family quickly spared Ri Zaicheng.The Zuozhi family behind them originally planned to go to the city to take a rest, but seeing that the Luo family did not stay, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow.To be honest, the mountain road along the road is really too difficult to walk. If the soldiers of the Luo family had not been trained for long-term morning running, they would probably be as tired as the Zuozhi family.

After bypassing the city.The team soon came to the intersection of Matsuura River and Taochuan River.These two rivers have accumulated a large fertile field here. Even in the current war, farmers can still be seen working in the fields.

At this time, the Bodo detective who was in charge of leading the way quickly came to Zheng Liang and saluted and said, "My lord, go further to Jinshiyuan and Jinshan. There are two roads leading to Imari Castle, one is the main road and the other is It's a small road, in order to prevent being ambushed by the opponent. Lord Boduo sent an order to all the adults, the forwards must be divided into two teams and advance along two roads."

"Huh?" Zheng Liang couldn't help being a little annoyed, why did he say this now?You, Bodo, are clearly planning to use us as cannon fodder.Although dissatisfied.But since he is a striker, he has to think about his own safety if he doesn't think about Bodo.Once all go the same path.If the Matsuura family outflanked and blocked the back road from another road, they might fall into the danger of being besieged.So Zhengliang chose to endure for the time being.

After receiving the order from Porto.The four tyrants immediately gathered together to discuss which path they should take.According to common sense, although there is a possibility of being ambushed, it is obviously safer to take the main road, so no one wants to take the small road.After arguing for a while, the method of catching turtles was finally adopted to decide who would take the big road and who would take the small road.

Unfortunately, Luo's family and another small tycoon got the lottery to take the path.Seeing Zheng Liang's dissatisfied expression, Zuo Zhi, who was lucky enough to get Dalu's lottery, walked over proudly to express his sympathy, and promised that if the Luo family was ambushed, the Sa Zhi family would come to rescue.While Zheng Liang expressed his gratitude, he was filled with contempt in his heart. Damn it, if you make sarcastic remarks, you will be kicked into the Taojiang River.

After the discussion, the Zuozhi family and another small family happily started to move forward along the main road.The Luo family and the last small tyrant family stayed in place.Since he was so unlucky, he had no choice but to accept his fate, and Zheng Liang took the lead to lead the soldiers towards the entrance of the path.

Soon, the entrance to the path appeared in front of us.In fact, both the main road and the small road are formed along the foot of the two sides of this mountain, but the main road is built along the bank of Taochuan, except for the forest on the left side, and the surging river on the right side.On the other hand, the path was much narrower. Depending on the situation, the two could barely be allowed to walk side by side.Moreover, there are mountains and forests on both sides, which is really an ideal place for ambushes.

Seeing Xiaolu's situation, Luo's family and the other Xiaohaoqiang were in trouble.In such a terrain, it is strange that there is no ambush.In desperation, Zheng Liang decided to send a few people into the trail to investigate together with Xiao Haoqiang before making a decision.

After the discussion, the two families selected a few clever warriors and were about to enter the small road to investigate. Suddenly, there was a sound of shouting from the direction of the main road.Zheng Liang yelled secretly, no, it must be that Zuo Zhi's family who was walking on the main road was ambushed.Although the Zuozhi family is a bit stingy, as an ally, it is impossible to see death without saving them. In this formation where allies are likely to become enemies, the Sazhi family can be regarded as the powerful that the Luo family can barely support each other.At least, in this attack, it is necessary for the Sashi family to continue to exist.And once the Sashi family's damage is too great this time, the territory of the Sashi family will inevitably be suppressed by the Huzi family, and the Luo family will fight against the Huzi family at that time.Thinking of this, Zheng Liang immediately reached an agreement with Xiao Haoqiang, who was traveling with him, that Xiao Haoqiang would guard the exit of the alley to prevent ambushes from rushing out of the alley to outflank them, while Zheng Liang led the troops to support Zuozhi's family.For Zheng Liang's proposal, Xiao Haoqiang was of course happy to agree. Anyway, the entrance of the small road is located at the rear of the main road battlefield. If there is something wrong there, just turn around and run.

Saying goodbye to Xiao Haoqiang, Zheng Liang led the troops and rushed to the place where the shouts of killing came out. At this time, several escaped ashigaru ran towards him.Zheng Liang saw that it was the deserters of Sazhi's family, so he arrested them without hesitation and interrogated them: "Tell me what happened earlier?"

"My... my lord, have we encountered an ambush?" Ashari said with a mournful face.

"Ambush, such a big road. How could it be ambushed so quickly? And it looks like it has thrown away its armor?" Zheng Liang asked.

"My lord, neither of the two adults on the main road wanted to go ahead first, so in the end, the two walked side by side. Unexpectedly, not long after the team entered the main road, a group of people were killed from the nearby forest. It was broken up," Zuqing replied tremblingly.The life of a commoner is as cheap as mud, and he was worried that the adult in front of him would kill him in a fit of anger.

"What?" Zheng Liang suddenly had a feeling of hating iron but not steel.Let the two distrusting forces walk side by side, once they encounter an attack, they will definitely not be able to work together to resist. Isn't this asking for their own doom?

"Where are the adults in your family?"

"It seems that I jumped into the river, and the villain didn't see it clearly. Seeing those people killing them fiercely, many people turned around and ran away, and the villain had no choice but to run away."

"Huh?" Zheng Liang was taken aback.Is there any general who left his subordinates and escaped at this time?Zheng Liang was completely speechless about Zuo Zhi's performance.He also talked about "vicious sharks", but as soon as he landed on land, he became an escaped bastard.

"Hmph. All of you follow the team and follow me to the rescue. If anyone tries to escape, I will kill him with my own knife." Zheng Liang yelled and cursed at a few ashigaru who were kneeling on the ground.

After placing several deserters next to the team.Zheng Liang hit the road again.Along the way, more than a dozen deserters were collected, and Zheng Liang finally arrived at the location of the attack.I saw the road ahead.Hundreds of enemy troops are besieging dozens of Sashi family and another powerful army.The surrounded troops were unwilling to be killed, and fought back under the leadership of a middle-aged fierce general.Zheng Liang scanned the battlefield.The figures of the two Patriarchs could not be seen in the crowd. It seemed that they had either escaped, or were caught or killed.

It is not too late to "arrange", Zheng Liang yelled, and the soldiers of the Luo family behind him immediately formed a long spear formation, "Listen to my password, step forward, step forward. One two one, one two one.".The troops of the Shi family formed a line of five people, forming a cross formation, marching forward slowly with spears raised in neat steps.

The uniform pace and strict military formation made everyone on the battlefield stop immediately, and then the besieging army immediately sent dozens of people to intercept it.The leader was a young general who looked like a very young general. With one stroke of his sword, he shouted at the Luo family's camp: "I am Matsuura Takanobu, the son of Matsuura Xingxin from the Hirado Matsuura clan. Who would dare to fight me?"

What?Matsuura Takanobu?Isn't this the 25th generation governor of the Matsuura family?According to the historical records, this guy should have inherited the position of Governor after two years?And the age should be 11 or 12 years old?Going to the battlefield at such a young age?Could it be that the tyrants in Japan like to let their young descendants go to the battlefield?In my impression, Takeda Shingen also served Yuanfu very early, and then his father Takeda Nobutora took him to the Shinano front line to prepare him for experience.Unexpectedly, after his father withdrew his troops, Shingen pretended to be the queen of the palace, and led a guard of hundreds of people to break through the uninoguchi castle that his father's 14 troops failed to capture.Uesugi Kenshin's first battle was to suppress the rebellion in Tochio Castle. The 12-year-old boy ordered the army to rest on the spot when the enemy retreated to the mountain. He secretly counted the time in his mind, and when the enemy turned over the mountain and began to descend, he ordered the whole army to attack.But the fierce Ben Duo Zhongsheng is even more ruthless.He was 12 years old in Yuanfu, and within a few months he went to Luoyang and Beijing with the army of Imakawa Yoshimoto. When he attacked Oda Nobunaga, he was responsible for escorting food and grass, and had an encounter with the enemy.During the battle, the young Honda Tadakatsu showed extraordinary fighting power and won the first enemy's head in his life. A [-]-year-old boy was able to win the battle with Cheng Ren without being injured, so it can be seen that he must be a burly and precocious child.

Speaking of which, the Matsuura family can be said to be one of the chief culprits who harmed the coast of the Ming Kingdom.The Matsuura Takanobu family is a powerful family in Hirado. Since ancient times, Hirado has played the role of a portal for Japan to communicate with foreign cultures, but this portal is not necessarily peaceful.The collision of foreign culture and local culture has triggered many major events that have turbulent and changed history. At the beginning of the 9th century, Kobo master Kukai and many "envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty" went to Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, from the vicinity of Hirado, setting off a trend of imitating the Tang Dynasty in Japan. After the 10th century, the area was ruled by the Matsuura family, who had a blood relationship with the Japanese emperor. In the 11th century, Master Rongxi traveled eastward to China and introduced Zen Buddhism to Japan. In the 13th century, Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, attacked Japan twice and invaded the territory of the Matsuura family. The Matsuura family repelled the armed forces from China twice with the help of "Kamikaze" and the later built coastal fortifications.In order to retaliate against the aggression of the Yuan Dynasty, the warrior group of the Matsuura family began to plunder the coast of the Korean Peninsula.Because they came from the three islands (Tsushima Island, Iki Island, and Hirado Island) controlled by the Hirado Domain, they were called "Three Islands Japanese Bandits" by North Korea.Later, the Matsuura family's invasion of North Korea and the coast of China gradually evolved into purely economic plunder, which posed a considerable threat to the coastal defense of China in the Ming Dynasty, which enforced the sea ban. foreign aggression.

Hmph, since I am one of the culprits, today I, Luo Shi Zhengliang, will send the heir of this troubled family to hell first. Thinking of this, Zhengliang pulled out the character Yoshioka from his waist with a swipe, walked to the front of the formation, and faced Matsuura Takanobu shouted loudly, "Higashiura Roshi Roshi Masara Matsuura Eagle is here to fight, get your head ready."

"Hi!" Seeing that the other party was also a teenager, and insulting him, Matsuura Takanobu was furious, shouted, and raised his knife to shout at Zhengliang.Not to be outdone, Zheng Liang let out a soft snort, and raised his knife to strike at him.

"Peng" two knives collided in the air, wiping out a trace of sparks.The two held the Taidao, trying to overwhelm each other in strength.

"Hiss, hiss..." As the blades were filled with strength, the two knives made a sound of friction.However, Matsuura Takanobu is an 11- or 12-year-old child after all, and in terms of strength, he is the opponent of 17- and 18-year-old Masara, and the blade is slowly being pressed in the direction of Matsuura Takanobu.

Hehe, if you are at this level, then you will stop here today, "one inch of rib", Zheng Liang silently shouted, and then used a close-up counterattack on the side of his body.

"Hiss..." A long blood-red line was drawn on the clothes on Matsuura Takanobu's chest immediately.

"Ah!" Sudden injury, Matsuura Takanobu couldn't help crying out in pain.

"Huh?" Zheng Liang, who passed by, was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the opponent would dodge the sure-kill move, only causing minor injuries.That being the case, then use the strongest blow to completely eliminate the future leader of the pirates.Thinking of this, Zheng Liang adjusted his posture slightly, ready to go.

"Don't hurt my lord!" At this moment, there was a loud shout from behind, and the sound of an arrow struck at the same time.Zhengliang backhanded a saber, knocked down the long arrow shot behind him with a "clang", and then jumped back to the front of the Luo family's formation in a flash, glaring at the opponent's rear formation, Matsuura Takanobu also took advantage of this opportunity to retreat In their own array.

"Kill" Zheng Liang waved his sword, commanding the team to kill the opposite Matsuura family.The main general was injured, and the morale of the Matsuura family was greatly affected, and they retreated one after another. (To be continued..)
