Warring States Eagle

"Let's go!" With a wave of Zheng Liang's big hand, the entire army formation began to move.

This time Zhengliang's advancing army was divided into front, middle and rear armies.There are 100 people in the fourth standing ashigaru team led by Masao Kinoshita, and 200 people in the second standing ashigaru team led by Tomohisa Oishi.Kinoshita Masunao is the main general, and Oishi Tomohisa is the deputy general.

The central army is the main formation, which consists of 100 people from the third standing ashigaru team led by Yoshida Shigemasa, 100 people from the low-level samurai team led by Aguda, 100 detectives, and [-] people from the cloak team led by Masara personally. composition.The main general is Masara himself, and the military advisers are Kakukuma Ishimune and Akabane Shinnosuke. The sidelines are Kira Nobuke, Ueda Shinji, Uemura Hongzuna, Tetsunosuke, and Ahri as Masara's personal guards. Bukit.

The rear army consisted of 200 peasants and soldiers who participated in the war, 100 logistics peasants and soldiers, and large carts carrying food and military supplies. The chief general was physician Ming Feng Xiuzheng, and the deputy general was the military eye Fu Luoshi Zhengxiu.

"Listen to me, you guys. The great lord Luo Shi Zhengliang is behind us. This is the honor of your life. Pay attention to me, don't lose face, or I will be responsible for cleaning the camp for half a year when I go back, um, including Clean the latrine." Following Masara's order, Kinoshita Masao said threateningly to the fourth standing Ashgaru team's subordinates.

"Oh!" Everyone below raised their weapons and shouted.

"You bastards, did you hear that? The Great Lord Junzhengliang Palace is right behind us, give me some energy, show me your spirit of looking at women, don't mess it up, or give it to me Go belly-cut." Seeing that the momentum of the fourth standing ashigaru team next to him was so high, Tomohisa Oishi, the leader of the second standing ashigaru team, couldn't hold back his face, and immediately threatened his men with more ruthlessness.

"Oh!" The second standing ashigaru team, which has twice as many people as the fourth standing ashigaru team, shouted with even more momentum.

"Hahaha, go ahead, call me Lord Mighty, the title of ** is ours" Dashi Zhijiu laughed.Continue to shout.

"Your Majesty is mighty, the title of ** belongs to us..." Immediately, there were shouts from under Anyue City.

"Okay, tell Masao Kinoshita and Tomohisa Oishi to stop making trouble. Go ahead quietly. Seriously, how do you teach these two guys? Didn't you say that. Do you want 'Qi Xu Rulin'?" Seeing the former The army was so lively, Zheng Liang couldn't help frowning.

"Hehe, Your Highness, the momentum is commendable." Akabane Shinnosuke said with a smile, "At the beginning of the army's deployment, it has such power and momentum. This battle will undoubtedly be won."

"Yes." Kakukuma Ishimune on the other side also nodded in agreement.

Therefore, it was in this atmosphere that the Luo family's army began to move towards Imari Bay, the first strategic location in Matsuura County.

Two hours later, it was exactly noon.Two peasants and soldiers who had just finished lunch were dozing lazily on the dirt in the village.

This earthen village was originally the residence of a branch of the Maeda family. Its strategic location is important because it controls the entrance to Imari Bay from the direction of Kishidake Castle.In the last time the Bodo coalition forces attacked the Matsuura family.The original owner of this village pretended to surrender to Bodo.Then when the Bodo coalition forces were defeated, the Matsuura coalition forces ambushed nearby in an attempt to snatch this stronghold in order to block the retreating Bodo coalition forces in Imari Bay. The Maeda family branch of the owner here was also exterminated by the Allied Forces of Hatata.

Later, Bodo abandoned this earthen village and burned it down before leaving.Although the Imari family has re-occupied this place and made appropriate repairs, it is no longer the gate that one man was in charge of and one man was in charge of.

"Step, step, step..." At this time.There was a strange and orderly sound on the mountain road not far from the Tuzhai.

"Hey, did you hear that?" One of the farmers and soldiers who was dozing off woke up first.Then he woke up the companion next to him and said.

"Huh? What are you doing? Someone will take over in a while, so I should sleep a little longer. I have to go to the field later." The peasants and soldiers who were pushed awake were obviously very dissatisfied.

"No, didn't you hear that?" the peasant soldier at the beginning continued.

"Okay, just get up and take a look, don't disturb my sleep." The peasant soldier who was pushed awake muttered, then turned around and continued to sleep.

"You? Really." The complained farmer and soldier said angrily. At the same time, he slowly got up and looked towards the voice.

"Kang Dang!" There was a crisp sound of the weapon falling.

"Ouch!" followed by a scream, "What are you doing? Why are you hitting me with a weapon?" The sleeping peasant and soldier shouted.

"Enemy...enemy...enemy attack!" The peasants and soldiers who had just got up to check were so frightened that they even stuttered.

……

"Your Highness, the defenders in the opponent's stronghold have fled without a fight. The checkpoint guarding the Imari Bay has been occupied by Lord Oishi Tomohisa." An ashigaru came to the front to report to Masara who was marching.

"Okay, all the personnel in the front line should remember the first merit." Zheng Liang said happily, "The order is issued, and the whole army will speed up and take down Imari Castle."

"Hi, hi, hi!" shouted the surrounding soldiers.

Victory in the first battle without bloodshed once again greatly boosted morale.

"Come here, send this letter to Ri Zaicheng, and hand it over to the executive Zhong Jian, and let him act according to the order after receiving the signal from the formation." Zheng Liang took out a letter and handed it to him while watching the soldiers around him advance. Said to a detective next to him in charge.

"Your Highness, this is the information reported by the black eagle who was hiding nearby and was in charge of responding after our family broke through the earthen village." At this time, Xuanjing Ji Liang, who was nearby, handed over a letter and said.

Zheng Liang immediately took the letter, and after reading it, handed it to the two military advisers beside him.The letter was written by Danzang Kato, mainly to report that after they sneaked into the enemy's territory, they had been buying food in a large amount according to Masara's plan, and the strategies set by Masara were also being implemented.At the same time, some intelligence collected in the enemy's territory was also reported.

"Your Highness, the other party is redistributing the territory. This matter can be used to some extent." It was Akabane Shinnosuke who spoke.

"Oh? You mean to sow discord and create chaos in the opponent's territory?" Zheng Liang said.

"That's right. This time, since the occupied area is only directly bordered by the territory of the Uematsuura and Goto families, in order to distribute benefits, the Uematsuura and Goto families will inevitably make concessions to the more powerful Omura and Xixiang families. Some territories bordering these two families are certain," Akabane Shinnosuke said, "and the other party is already doing this, so the main family can spread the news that the Matsuura family and the Goto family are about to be annexed by the Omura family and the Xixiang family in their territory. gossip."

"I think this plan is very clever." Tsukuma Ishimune on the other side also nodded and said, "In addition, I suggest that the detectives and ninjas lurking in the opponent's territory pretend to be bandits and harass the local territory everywhere, allowing the opponent to cross The messier the better."

"Well, the plan of the two military advisers is very clever." Zhengliang nodded, and then immediately asked Murakami Takekichi to accompany the army Mazha, directly spread the paper on it and wrote a few orders, and finally handed it to a black eagle to be responsible for The written letter was handed over to Kato Duanzou, Hidan and others.

"Your Highness, the third standing ashigaru squad please fight." As soon as Black Hawk was sent away, Masara saw Yoshida Shigemasa running over angrily and begged for his life.Obviously, he couldn't sit still after seeing Tomohisa Oishi and Masao Kinoshita, who were the first movers, gaining military exploits so quickly.Before leaving, the leaders of several of their teams got together and made a bet. Which team got the first prize to choose a title for themselves, and the leaders of the other teams would give ten guan to the leader of this team.Shiguan!It is enough for a farmer to live a good life, not a small amount of money!

"Hehe, Chongzheng, we will be in Imari City soon, and then you will have a chance to make meritorious deeds," Zhengliang said with a smile.The military spirit is available.

"Your Highness, please hand over the responsibility of Kojo Castle to your subordinates," Yoshida Shigemasa took the opportunity to say.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, hurry up and bring the team back to me," Zheng Liang said.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely take Imari Castle for Your Highness." After receiving Masara's promise, Shigemasa Yoshida walked away quickly.He wants to return to the army to announce the good news.

"Send the order, speed up the march, we will have lunch at Imari Castle," Zheng Liang said.Now it is time to complete the cage city against the people in Imari City before they can react.Now is the busy season of farming, and with the sudden attack of Luo's family, there must not be too many guards in Imari Castle.

As expected, when Luo Shifan rushed to Imari Castle, Imari Jiali, who was playing a human-making game with his wife and concubine at home, was frightened immediately after receiving the report from the peasants and soldiers who had escaped from the village. Unable to speak, he shouted after a long while: "Quick, quick, hurry up and find Maeda Tachikawa and Okawachi."

Maeda Tachikawa and Okawauchi who received the urgent call from the patriarch immediately rushed to meet Imari Iari as quickly as possible.

"What do you think should be done?" After telling the two of them the information, Imari Jiali asked with a sad face.

"Hey" Okawachi said immediately: "The family should immediately summon the low-level samurai who returned home to work in agriculture and the ashigaru to come back to defend the city, and at the same time mobilize the farmers and soldiers."

"Yes, convene immediately, mobilize immediately," Imari Jiali finally realized and said immediately.

"It's too late," Maeda Tachikawa said categorically, "The other party is going to go to the castle in a blink of an eye, and it's too late to summon low-level warriors and farmers."

"This...what should I do?" Imari Jiali said in horror.His father, Imari Iejun, died in the last battle when the Hatta allied forces attacked the Matsuura family. After the war, he retained the territory because he helped the Matsuura family defeat the Hatata family.Then at the age of 16, he was supported by two important ministers in his family, Maeda Tachikawa and Okawachi, to inherit the position of family governor.Because of his young age, many decisions are made by two important ministers.

"Your Highness, there are two roads in front of our family. One is to rely on the dozens of relatives and warriors in the city and the Ashigaru to resist and wait for the rescue of the Omura family," Maeda Tachikawa said.After the death of the previous boss, the Hirado Matsuura family, the Imari family decisively joined the Omura family.

"What is the second way?" After hearing the first way, Imari Jiali continued to ask. . . )
