Warring States Eagle

After getting rid of the entanglement, the team finally arrived at the seaside of Imari Bay after struggling in the dark for half an hour.In order not to be discovered by others, Zheng Liang asked people to extinguish the torches as early as approaching the bay.

Standing on a rock by the sea, Zheng Liang looked down at the whole bay.The first is the coast of Imari Bay. Under the hazy moonlight, you can vaguely see that there are no ships on the coast.Not only did they not see the boats of the Luo family's navy, they didn't even see the ships of the Matsuura family transporting the sneak attack force tonight.Looking at the sea from a distance, it seems that there are several fires on the sea hundreds of meters away, and there should be a lot of ships gathered there.It seems that Mitsunobu Matsuura is not stupid, and he has already prepared for someone to sneak into the fleet to snatch the ship and escape.

Since the center of the bay is the ship of the Matsuura family, where is the navy of the Luo family?

"My lord, this is the person we stayed here to meet." At this time, Yi Nuo came to report with a black eagle.

"The villain pays respects to the lord" Hei Ying saluted.

"Where's our fleet?" Zheng Liang didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.Without a boat, all actions tonight will be in vain. When the sun comes out tomorrow, these people will hide in the woods to feed mosquitoes and leeches.In addition, all the food had been thrown away before departure, even if the Matsuura family would not find it, they would starve to death.

"My lord, this villain came here to report this matter. Since the Matsuura family's navy suddenly occupied the waterway in the bay, Lord Sun Wulang had to change the location of the response. Now he is in the bay near Iimori Castle Waiting for your lord," Black Hawk said.

"Is the most dangerous place the safest place? Good. Lead the way, let's set off immediately, don't light a torch," Zheng Liang said.

Give an order, under the leadership of Black Hawk.The team went back into the woods on the shore, and then Zhengliang's small flashlight with only a faint electric light became a guiding light again.After stopping and going, half an hour later, the team finally arrived near Fansheng City.Zheng Liang looked at the black eagle beside him.The black eagle leading the way immediately understood, walked quickly to a rock by the sea, and imitated the cry of a nightingale.Zheng Liang knows that this is the unique way of communication in the darkness of the mountains

A moment later, the same response came from the nearby bay.It went back and forth like this for about a quarter of an hour, and more than a dozen Xiaozao boats appeared on the sea along the seashore.Come to meet this time.In order to avoid the target being too large, Sun Wulang did not drive the larger Guan boat.Seeing the long-awaited navy finally appear, everyone who had been running around all night behind them immediately let out a long breath as if they were not burdened.

After organizing everyone to board the ship one by one.Zhengliang boarded Xiaozao driven by Sun Wulang.

"Your Majesty pays homage to Your Highness." Sun Wulang, who was waiting at the bow of the ship, immediately saluted Zheng Liang, "Your Highness, everyone has boarded the ship, but now we have to decide where to start to leave."

"Huh?" Zheng Liang really didn't think of this question.

"We have a total of three sea lanes to return to the territory, one is to leave from the sea lane between Imari Bay and Fudao. But there has been blocked by the Matsuura family navy, even if we forcefully break through, we still have to face the sea lane full of reefs there; The second sea route passes through the sea from Iimori Castle to Hirado Castle, but you may encounter the Matsuura family’s navy or even pirates. It will take a long time; the third sea route is from Fukushima and The seaway between Takashima leaves, but it needs to pass through the sea where the Matsuura family’s navy is gathering. They are likely to be chased by them, and there are also many pirates in Fukushima and Takashima,” Son Goro reported.

"Where do you think it's better to go?" Sun Wulang is a veteran of sailing.At least he knew much more than Zheng Liang, so Zheng Liang decided to seek his opinion first.

"Your Highness, the first sea route must be abandoned; the second sea route depends on our luck; the third sea route is the channel that can escape the control of the Matsuura family's navy in the shortest possible time." Sun Wulang did not give a clear answer. Instead, Zheng Liang directly pointed out the pros and cons of these sea routes.As a seasoned person, he has a good grasp of when to give what advice.

"Take the third sea route." Knowing that time waits for no one, the sooner he leaves the sphere of influence controlled by the Matsuura family, the safer he will be, so he said decisively.

After the sea route was determined, Sun Goro immediately commanded the fleet to sail towards the pirates between Fudao and Eagle Island in Imari Bay, and the fleet soon approached the sea surface where the Matsuura family's navy gathered.

"Who is that person over there?" Because the boat was sailing on the sea, to ensure safety, the torches had to be lit, which made it easy for the other party to spot the fleet that was moving, and someone on the other party's ship immediately shouted.

"Speed ​​up, pass by them, don't respond," Zheng Liang said.

So Zhengliang's boat took the lead in quickly passing by more than 50 meters away from the Matsuura family's navy.The boats behind saw that the lord's boat was like this, so of course they followed suit and followed closely behind without saying a word.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" Seeing that the other party did not respond, someone in the Matsuura family's fleet raised the alarm immediately.

As a result, the navy of the Matsuura family lit torches one after another, and some ships even prepared to set off to pursue them.Zheng Liang looked back, smiled contemptuously, and thought, hmph, it seems that most of the people on board have joined the raid team?Now that the Matsuura family's navy is making such a show, it's just an attempt to scare us away.This is the best way, and we don't have time to entangle with you.

The fleet successfully passed the waterway between Fukushima and Takashima, and Masara once again faced the choice of whether to go ashore immediately or continue along the waterway back to Banya Bay.Immediately go ashore, and you can quickly reach Xinmucheng, the original city of Shangcang's family, but because there are still many pirates along the coast, it may cause conflicts with them.In the end, Zhengliang chose to continue to take the waterway.

When we returned to Banwuwan, it was already midnight, and the exhausted people spent the night at the naval base in Banwuwan.

On the morning of September [-]th, Wen Nine Years, after a hasty breakfast, Zheng Liang waited for the third standing ashigaru team's commanding servant General Onishi Kuniji to arrive.

"How are you doing, how are you getting ready?" Zheng Liang asked.

"The 50 ashigaru temporarily dispatched from the second standing ashigaru team are already on standby at Jiubao Castle. The third team has also gathered near the Inubokaya Valley. The detective who sneaked into the Ishida's house yesterday received news that the Ishida's house There has been no special action in the past few days, but because the young master of the Huzi family was attacked in the territory, Ishida Jibu has personally gone to the Huzi family to plead guilty to the Huzi family in order to avoid turning against the Huzi family," reported Onishi Kuniji.

"Hahaha, good, good! This is the best time for our family to attack the Ishida family. Ishida Zhibu never thought that I would come back so soon. Let's go and give him a surprise." Zheng Liang laughed loudly laugh.Then he walked out of the wooden house first and went to gather troops in person.

In fact, Masara had already arranged for the raid on the Ishida family before he went to respond to the call of Bota.According to the plan, it was after joining forces with the Yin Huzi family of the Sashi family in the Raiders of the Matsuura family in Bota.Taking advantage of the time when the Huzi family has no time to take care of it, take the opportunity to attack the Ishida family.Now that the incident of the Matsuura family's night attack occurred, Zhengliang also retreated and returned to the territory early.The so-called war opportunity is fleeting, of course, Zhengliang will not let go of the opportunity that some powerful tycoons are still trapped in Imari Bay and have no time to take care of it. At present, the vicinity of Luo's home is relatively empty.Ready to wipe out Ishida, the cockroach that is jumping around in one fell swoop

Under the leadership of Zheng Liang, 40 cloaked people and 30 low-level samurai quickly came to Jiubao Castle to join the 50 second standing ashigaru team waiting here, and then aggressively rushed towards Inubo Valley.

At this time, the territory of the Roche family in Inubark Valley was on one side.Now the 60 ashigaru of the third standing ashigaru team and the 120 troops led by Masara just now have been assembled.

"What's the situation in the valley?" Zheng Liang asked, looking at Onishi Guozhi who had arrived earlier.

"Your Highness, we did not disturb the guards at the checkpoint of the Ishida family. There should be more than a dozen samurai from the Ishida family and dozens of farmers and soldiers gathered there," said Onishi Kuniji.

"Well. You lead the third team to stay here. I will lead the rest of the people around to the other entrance of Dog Bark Valley. Surround them from behind and catch them by surprise," Zheng Liang said after thinking for a while.

"Ah? Your Highness, this seems too risky. To go around to another exit behind Inubo Valley, you must first follow the road on the right and pass through the territory of the Jiuzu family in the east, and then go from the mountain at the junction of the Jiujin family and the Ishida family. Jian Xiaodao secretly sneaked into the territory of the Ishida family, and finally reached the other side of the Inubo Valley. If the Jiuzu family obstructs or reports to the Huzi family and the Ishida family, then you may be besieged by them," Onishi Kuniji advised.

"Hehe, Huzi Otomo is still in Imari Bay, and he won't be able to come back for a while, so there is no need to worry about Huzi's family intervening. As for Jiujin's family, they are just a small grasshopper, and they can't make much trouble. I'm worried about them. I will notify the Ishida family in advance to prepare for the battle. Although Ishida Jibu is not in the territory now, it is indeed a variable. Even so, this strategy still needs to be implemented. You don't need to say more, just wait for the signal from me Zhengliang nodded and agreed with Onishi Guozhi's concerns, but still insisted on going to have a try.

"Yes, Your Highness" Since the Patriarch gave the order, Onishi Guozhi had no choice but to follow the order.

After arranging everything, Zhengliang led 120 troops along the right road leading to the junction of Jiujin's house and Ishida's house.On the side of Jiujin's house on this avenue, a checkpoint has been placed, the main purpose is to set up a checkpoint here to monitor the movements of Luo's family at the request of Huzi's family.

When the ashigaru guarding the checkpoint saw a murderous army coming from the direction of Luo's house, they abandoned the checkpoint and fled to the territory without thinking.Anyway, their task is to monitor the movement, as long as they can go back and report the situation, the task will be completed, and there is no need to die for it.

After passing through the empty checkpoint, Zhengliang directed the crowd to quickly drill into the mountain road at the junction of Jiujin's house and Ishida's house.This mountain road is the place where Zhengliang ambushed Huzi Zhengyou's transport team last time.

Without stopping too much, the team of the Luo family entered the territory of the Ishida family.The farmers along the road were shocked and fled to their homes, and they were smart enough to run in the direction of the city lord's mansion.

Moving fast all the way, Leng blocked the other entrance of Inubow Valley before the Shitian family could react.

"Kill" Zhengliang pulled out Ji Gang's words, shouted and killed in the valley.The entire Inubo Valley is only a few hundred meters long, and the valley is full of flat farmland. No matter how Zheng Liang hides, he will be discovered by the guards at the checkpoint on the other side, so Zheng Liang simply killed him in.

On the other side of Inubo Valley, Onishi Kuniji, who had been paying attention to the movement in the valley, waited in fear for an hour, and finally heard the signal of shouting and killing agreed with the Patriarch. The big stone he lifted in his heart finally fell to the ground, and the Patriarch should have arrived safely.

"Kill" Onishi Kuniji's third team, Ashgaru, who had gathered at the side early, also rushed to the Ishida family's checkpoint at the entrance of Inuboya.

Sudden simultaneous attack from both sides, and at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, the guards of the Ishida family who were in charge of guarding the checkpoint were quickly defeated, some were killed and some were captured.Leaving Onishi Kuniji to continue cleaning up the battlefield, Masara led 130 troops to attack Hisaishi Castle, the home city of the Ishida family.

At this moment, Hisaishi City was in chaos, and all the retainers of the Ishida family who had received the news that the territory was attacked were in a mess.

And in the large room of the castle tower, the wife of the city lord was crying silently with her young daughter in her arms.In fact, she didn't care about the territory being invaded. Her heart was already dead. In that year, her mother died of depression because of being neglected by her father Takuhoyoshi, and she was also used as a political tool to coerce her. After marrying into the Ishida family, her heart was already dead at that time. Even after learning the news of Taijiu's family's demise, she did not shed a single tear for her so-called father and brother who died.

But thinking of her daughter, her cold heart gradually warmed up again, and she had hope to continue living.But yesterday, this only hope was also extinguished by her husband.Regardless of her repeated objections, Ishida Jibu resolutely prepared to send his daughter to the young master of Huzi's family in the next few days.Her daughter is not yet 10 years old, and she is going to be spoiled by Huzi Zhengyou who is not only lame but also has a pedophile.What makes her even more desperate is that there are rumors that every child sent to that demon will disappear for no reason soon after.This is really a bolt from the blue news, so she is desperate.

"Kill!" Just as she was holding her daughter and weeping silently, there was a loud cry of killing outside the city.She raised her head, looked at the blue sky, then suddenly picked up her bewildered daughter and stood up.

"Deng, thump, thump..." Step by step, he walked down the Tianshou Pavilion, passed through the gate of the mansion, and then walked towards the gate of Chengyan. (To be continued..)
