Warring States Eagle

The time has entered 1541 AD, which is the eleventh day of March in the tenth year of astronomy.

The Luo family has occupied Imari Castle for a day, but the neighboring Uematsuura and Goto families still have not responded.Of course, during this period of time, Zhengliang also stepped up to clean up the territory of Imari's family.First, Togo Heiji was instructed to temporarily mobilize [-] farmers and soldiers to station in Imari Castle to take over the territory one by one, and then Noda Kazuhiro, Kunatsu and the second navy team also arrived.A total of [-] standing water troops and [-] temporarily mobilized fishermen drove [-] closed ships and [-] Xiaozao ships into Imari Bay.They would flank the newly occupied Imari Castle.

It is worth mentioning that this time the Hirado Matsuura clan perished, its navy was officially disbanded, and all the tyrants threw out olive branches one after another.At the instigation of Akabane Shinnosuke, in the end, ten Guan Ships and twenty or so Kozayas took refuge in the Luo family.

Seeing this scene, the pirates on Fukushima and Eagle Island near Imari Bay felt that there must be a big war. In order to avoid being affected, they began to arrange their belongings and prepare to move to the pirate paradise in the Goto Islands. The pirates are watching this battle in the dark, to see if there is a chance to fish in troubled waters.

After handing over the territory of the Imari family to Togo Heiji, Noda Kazuhei, and Kunatsu, Masara led the troops and continued to advance.Now it is time to attack quickly while the opponent is empty.

According to the detective report, with Imari Castle as the center, to the south is Iimori Castle of the former Hirado Matsuura Clan, to the east is Karafune Castle of the Kami Matsuura Clan, and to the northeast is Takeo Castle of the Goto Clan.

"According to the detective's report, after learning that Imari Castle was captured, the Iimori Castle in the south direction has been emptied, and Iotou Duanzang is near here. I think it is only necessary to send some sailors to assist there. Kato Danzou, Hidan and others can occupy this city," Akabane Shinnosuke reported.

"Let's deal with it according to this law," Zheng Liang ordered.The detective behind him immediately went down to convey the order.

"Let's talk about the situation in other villages. Where is the main force of the Shangsongpu clan?" Zheng Liang asked.

"It's in Tangfune Castle," Akabane Shinnosuke said, pointing to the map that was temporarily simulated with soil. "According to Black Eagle's report, the Kamatsuura family, the Goto family, the Omura family, and the Xixiang family are planning to negotiate in Hirota City not far from Tangfune City." How to carve up the territory of the Hirado Matsuura Clan. So the main forces of the Kami Matsuura Clan are concentrated near Karafune Castle."

"What's the situation in Takeo Castle?"

"On the day when our family dispatched troops to Imari Castle, the Patriarch of the Goto family also led the main force of the family to Hirota City, because the roads were not connected. **They also need to pass through Tangchuan Castle during this time."

"Oh?" Zhengliang's eyes lit up when he heard the words, "How far is Takeo Castle from Imari Castle?" Obviously Zhengliang planned to take the opportunity to attack Takeo Castle.

"His Royal Highness, starting from Imari Castle, follow the mountain road between Qingluoshan, Black Fashan, and Kurodake directly into the avenue between Tangfune Castle and Takeo Castle. Then you can reach Takeo Castle along the avenue," Akabane Shinnosuke said, because I have visited these places before, so Akabane Shinnosuke can tell the road conditions in that area even without the information of the detective.

"Your Highness is planning to attack Takeo Castle?" Kakukuma Ishimune, who had been listening to Masara's conversation, suddenly asked.

"That's exactly what I mean," Zheng Liang nodded.Taking advantage of the main force of Takeo City going out, relying on the current strength of the Luo family.It must be able to sneak attack successfully.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this plan is inappropriate," Kakukuma Ishimune said with a bow.

"Military division, please advise."

"Your Highness, in terms of geographical location, there are currently three directions for our family." Kakukuma Ishimune pointed to the simulated map and said, "To the south, Iijo Castle can be waved down, and then you can take advantage of the trend to attack Oya Castle, Sato Castle, and Hirado Even with the cooperation of the navy, the territory of the original Hirado Matsuura clan can be completely brought under the control of the family.”

"Although this is indeed overwhelming. But I'm afraid there are many hidden dangers," Zheng Liang said proactively.In the overall situation, Zhengliang can still distinguish the good from the bad.

"That's right. Although this road allows our family to quickly attack the city, it is also because of this that the front line of our family has been lengthened and the enemy has given up the back," Kakukuma Ishimune said with a nod. "Your Highness, look." Kakukuma Ishimune said, pointing in the direction of Tangchuan Castle.

"Once the focus of the main family is on the south road, then the Kami Matsuura clan in the direction of Tangfune Castle can quickly follow the avenue and directly go to Imari Castle. At the same time, the Goto family in the direction of Takeo Castle will also go to Imari Castle from the mountain road. If this happens, the troops in Hirado Matsuura will lose contact with the troops in the direction of Kishidake Castle, and the clan will be in danger."

"This road is indeed dangerous. Let Kato Duanzo and Fei Duan take down Iimori Castle and stick to it on the spot. The main attack direction of our family will definitely not be in this direction," Zheng Liang said.Although Zheng Liang likes to gamble heavily, he only makes such bad decisions when there is no way out.Now once the Luo family's main attack direction is positioned to the south, the entire front will become a long snake.And Imari Castle is the seven inches of the long snake. Once it is lost, it will be extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, even the results of the battle since the start of the war will be completely lost.

"Military division, let's talk about the other two routes," Zheng Liang continued to ask.

"The second route is Takeo Castle in the northeast." Ishimune Kakukuma pointed to Takeo Castle on the map and said, "As His Highness expected, our family can attack this time. It's just that I want to know more about Takeo Castle first." The distance from Karafune Castle." After speaking, Kakukuma Ishimune looked at Akabane Shinnosuke.

"Your Highness, judging from the location, Tangfune Castle is probably closer to Takeo Castle," Akabane Shinnosuke immediately reported to Masara.

"That being the case, then, Your Highness, at such a distance, I am worried that if the cage battle between the main family and Takeo Castle is blocked, and the Goto family's army rushes back from Tangfune Castle after receiving the news, then the main family will be attacked from both sides." Kakukuma Ishimune He leaned over and said, "What's more, even if our family successfully captured Takeo Castle, they would still be under siege."

"Why did the military commander say that?" Zheng Liang asked.

"Your Highness, Takeo Castle is located in Kishima County. The closest ones to this castle are the Ryuzoji family and the Hirai family of Sukojo Castle. Although the Hirai family has always been at odds with the Ryuzoji family, the rash intervention of our family in Kishima County may cause the two families The tyrants unite with the Omura family and other tycoons to deal with the main family," Kakukuma Ishimune said bluntly.

"In addition, the east direction of Takeo Castle is Matsugake Castle of the Omura Clan and Matsuoka Castle of the Arima Clan, and the south direction is the Tangfune Castle of the Kami Matsuura Clan. It can be said that it is facing enemies on three sides, which is obviously not an ideal place." Kuma Shizong said, "In addition, the battle between the family and Takeo Castle must take a lot of time, which gives each family enough time to mobilize the farmers and soldiers in the neighborhood. This situation is obviously not good for the family."

"What the military adviser said makes sense." After listening to what Kakukuma Ishimune said just now, Zhengliang was in a cold sweat.It seems that Zheng Liang's mentality has changed due to the fact that the war has been too smooth since watching the station.If it was normal, Zheng Liang would have seen the risks.

"In this way, there is only the third road in the direction of Tangchuan City?" Just as Masara was awakened secretly, Akabane Nobunosuke said thoughtfully.

"Yeah," Kakukuma Ishimune nodded and said, "I think Tangchuan City is the best direction for our strategy."

Masara nodded upon hearing this, and signaled Kakukuma Ishimune to continue.

"First of all, this city is the closest to Imari Castle. This strategy of our family focuses on surprise, so even if Tangchuan City received an urgent report from Imari Bay at this moment, it would not be able to react in time. If our family takes advantage of the momentum to advance here, the opponent will definitely not be able to mobilize enough in time. Kakukuma Ishimune said, "In addition, the strategic location of this castle is important. It can be connected with Imari Castle to the west, and it can threaten Takeo Castle, which is actually surrounded by enemies on three sides, to the southeast. The guards have been evacuated as a meeting place, and the Kami-Matsuura House Hirota Castle is now extremely empty.”

"It only needs to eliminate the main force of the Uematsuura family, so that these powerful families cannot unite, then the offensive and defensive momentum is set, and the family can attack and defend, which is very useful," Kakukuma Ishimune said finally.

"Okay, let's take this road as the main direction of attack," Zheng Liang said decisively.

So, following Zhengliang's order.The Luo family army stationed in Imari City marched again.

The army marched forward with great fanfare along the way, and the villages along the road surrendered one after another, and some even offered wine and food on their own initiative.It's just that under the military law of the Luo family, no one dared to accept these gifts.

"Report, Your Highness, the Kami Matsuura family's Uchino Jingu is ahead, and a large number of troops have been found." At this time, the detective in charge of the road ahead came to report.

"Have you seen where the other party came from?" Zheng Liang asked.

"There are various family crests mixed in, and the villain couldn't identify all of them for a while, but he recognized the family crests of the Kami Matsuura family, the Goto family, and the Shisa family with the largest number of people," the detective reported.

"Oh?" Zheng Liang was taken aback when he heard that.Unexpectedly, the Goto family also arrived. It seems that they got the news of Imari Castle on the way, and then came to unite with the Kami Matsuura family. Goto Junmei is also a lot of fools. If the Kami Matsuura family is defeated, then he His territory will become an isolated city, and he will have to bear the onslaught of the Luo family alone.Now that the Goto family's forces have also appeared here, the Omura family and the Xixiang family should also have received the news.

"Very good, go down and continue to investigate," Zheng Liang ordered the detective.The latter took orders immediately.

"Your Highness, this is God Bless Luo's family," Kakukuma Ishimune said immediately after the detective walked away.

"Hahaha, not bad." Masara, Kakukuma Ishimune and Akabane Shinnosuke looked at each other, and then laughed.Zhengliang actually didn't like cage battles. In the absence of siege equipment, this cage battle was really a crowd tactic. If it was a flat city, it would be fine, but if it was a mountain city, it would be a headache.

"The mountain castle that occupies a good position does not defend, but ran out of the city to fight with our family. The opponent's generals are really idiots," Akabane Nobunosuke shook his head.

"Hehe, you don't know, the Uchino Shrine is the place where the ancestors of the Uematsuura clan are enshrined, and it also enshrines the God of Sunshine. I'm afraid the Kami Matsuura clan hopes to use the aura there to fight against the family." Zheng Liang Said.

The two military advisers looked at each other with a look of understanding. . . )
