Warring States Eagle

() "唰" a gust of wind blew by, making the sound of rubbing thousands of leaves on the tree.Thick dark clouds gathered quickly, the moon and stars in the sky disappeared, and there was darkness everywhere.

The rumbling thunderclouds rolled continuously, and lightning bolts illuminated the dark land, and then plunged into darkness in an instant.

"Your Highness, the situation of the other party has been investigated." On this thunderstorm night, in the lobby of a temple, Kato Duanzo came forward and reported back and forth.

As early as when he learned that a group of Otomo's allied forces of hundreds of people from Haijin City had entered the territory of Shao'er's family and was marching towards Lianchi City, Zheng Liang led a cavalry team of 200 people to take the initiative to attack.At this moment, Zhengliang is stationed in a Jing'an Temple named Zaojinjiang in Shaoer's family.Because Luo's family suddenly killed them in the evening, the monks in the temple were controlled before they could react. Now the whole temple is controlled by Luo's family. ..

It is two miles away from Lianchi City of the Luo Family in the west, and two miles away from Mutian City of the Shaoer Family in the north.

From the movement of the Shaoer family's successive attempts to attack the Luo family's Lianchi City, Zheng Liang guessed the intention of the Otomo family's coalition forces.First of all, the frontal battlefield this time must be the junction of the Hizen territory controlled by the Ouchi family in the north and the territory controlled by the Chikugo Otomo family.At present, both sides have gathered their troops in the vicinity.Although Otomo's family has not declared war at this time, they have already confronted each other.

From a strategic point of view, Ouchi's family and Luo's family had enough time to deal with it.But this is also impossible.After all, the army was dispatched from Bungo to Chikugo.It is necessary to pass through the narrow area at the junction of the three countries of Bungo, Chikuzen, and Chikugo. Due to the limited terrain, it is easy to be monitored by various tyrants.So as soon as the Otomo family army entered Chikugo from Bungo, they were discovered by the detectives of various families.Therefore, the Otomo family simply gathered their forces without any haste, and while making sufficient preparations, they waited for the situation of Ouchi Yoshitaka's allied forces in Izumo.One side decides whether to attack or disperse. ..

And it is estimated that Ouchi Yoshikan also made a temporary decision to attack Hizen, so it seems a bit hasty.Of course, on the whole.The Ouchi family still has the advantage. After all, the main force and generals of the Ouchi family followed Ouchi Yoshitaka to Izumo to attack the Nizi family.

Now there is news that Ouchi Yoshitaka's coalition forces are trapped in Izumo, and Ouchi Yoshikan finally made up his mind to attack.

In addition to confronting the allied forces of the Ryobu Castle Ouchi family from the front, the Otomo family also launched attacks from the Yamabi Castle on the Chikugo side of the Chikushi Plain and the Chikugo River estuary side.And the Lianchi City controlled by the Luo family is exactly the city they are determined to win.

From a strategic point of view, the Otomo family only needs to occupy Mutian Castle of the Shaoer family, and then go north from there to Sefukuji Castle, which is currently the rear of the Ouchi family.As long as Shifu Temple City is taken down, a situation of encirclement of the main coalition forces of Lingbu City can be formed.And the current performance of the Shaoer family is also so quiet that it makes people doubtful.Now that he had surrendered to the Ouchi family, even though he had sent hundreds of soldiers to join the coalition organized by the Ouchi family, he ignored the team that entered his territory after the Ouchi family set off from Haijin City.It's like I didn't see anything.So in Zhengliang's view.The Shaoer family has actually rebelled.

Under such circumstances, in fact, Otomo's family only needs to pass directly through Mutian Castle of Shaoer's family. Why did they repeatedly attempt to attack Lianchi City?Because from Lianchi City, you can attack the back road of the Allied Forces of Otomo's family at any time.Once the back road is blocked, the troops that go deep into the rear of the coalition forces of the big family may be surrounded by people.So in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, Dayou's family must take Lianchi City no matter what.In this way, they can put pressure on the Luo family through Mutian City and Lianchi City at the same time, and completely control the situation of this war.

Now, the entire strategy arrangement of Dayou's family has completely surfaced.The northernmost road, the road on the Chikushi Plain, mainly plays a diversionary role.Completely block the reinforcements of the Ouchi family in Chikuzen and cut off the connection between Chikuzen and Hizen.So there won't be much fighting along the way.In the middle, the main formation of the Ouchi family coalition forces in Lingbu City and the main formation of the Ouchi family coalition forces in Chikugo Gaoliangshan constitute the frontal battlefield. The outcome of the battle here determines the direction of this war.In the south, Dayou's family and Luo's family launched a tentative competition in the territory of Shaoer's family.If the Dayou family completely controls this place, then they will completely control the initiative of the war, and they can calmly encircle our coalition forces from the direction of Shifu Temple City.However, the Luo family fell under the direct attack of the opponent after Lianchi City was taken, and turned into a mud bodhisattva, unable to even protect themselves.

So what about the Allied Forces?Really at a disadvantage.

First of all, the main force and powerful generals followed Ouchi Yoshitaka to Izumo, and were trapped there.At this moment, it can be said that there is a shortage of major generals.Although a group of powerful clans were assembled immediately, the fighting power of these powerful clans was uneven. It was obviously a miscellaneous army, which was much weaker than the Allied Forces of the Dayou Family, which mainly consisted of soldiers from the Dayou Family.

Secondly, the coalition forces are not in the same spirit.Apparently Shan Xingyun, the chief general, made a foolish move this time, and didn't even join forces with the Luo family.It's fine if you don't take the initiative to join forces with the Luo family, but even summoned a large number of Hizen nobles to join the coalition.These local wealthy families include the Shaoer family, the Shendai family, the Lingbu family, etc., and it can be said that they are all people with different intentions.

Finally, the strategic location is at a disadvantage.As the northeast of Ryobu Castle of the main camp, Katsuo Castle, which is located at the junction of Hizen, Chikuzen, and Chikugo on the border of the Chikushi Plain, is currently being attacked by the Otomo family. The road from Hizen to Chikuzen has been blocked by the Otomo family. Large-scale troops cannot come over.Mutian City to the southwest of Lingbu City, in Zheng Liang's view, is under the control of the Shao Er family who has secretly taken refuge.To the northwest, pass through Sanse Castle controlled by the Jindai family.Once the Jindai family rebelled, the allied forces of the Ouchi family fell into siege.The only remaining exit is the territory of the Luo family in the west, but Zhengliang currently has no plans to open the territory to the Ouchi family.

After analyzing the current battlefield situation, Zheng Liang judged that the war situation in the direction of the Luo family would greatly affect the trend of the entire battlefield.So when he learned that a troop from Dayou's family had entered the territory of Shaoer's family, he immediately reacted and brought a cavalry team that was easy to move to the territory of Shaoer's family.

In this matter, Kato Duanzo, who was in charge of investigating the movement of Otomo's army, finally came back.

"Where are they now?" Seeing Kato Danzo coming back, Masara asked immediately.

"Your Highness, due to the imminent rain, the other party will spend the night at Guangde Temple one mile away tonight. There are probably thousands of people. General Tian Bei Jiansheng from Otomo's family will be guarded by Lieutenant General Shiga." Kato Duanzang reported back .

"Very well, let the order go on, let everyone eat and rest immediately, without delay!" Zheng Liang said: "You are also suffering. After the order is over, you should also hurry up and rest."

"Yes, Your Highness!" Kato Duanzang ordered.

After sending Kato Duanzang away, Masaragi asked his valet to send him a crude version of the map, and looked at it with the black oil lamp unique to Japan.

"Wow!" At this time, the heavy rain that had been brewing for an evening finally started to fall.Looking at the courtyard through the entrance of the lobby, I saw the wind carrying rain stars, bumping here and there as if looking for something on the ground.There was a red flash in the distance to the north, as if a piece of black cloud had been lifted to reveal a large amount of blood. "Rumbling" thunder resounded through the earth.

What a stormy night.

At the same time, in the Allied Forces camp of Dayou's family in Guangde Temple, one mile away, various chief generals were gathering in the lobby of the temple to hold a night banquet.

"Come on, everyone, please drink this cup together! This strategy will rely on your help!" The main general Tian Beijiansheng said loudly.On such a stormy night, there would definitely be floods. Not only would he be unable to move, but even the enemy would be trapped in place, so he was very assured of the safety of the army.

Of course, he is not a fool. Those who are lucky enough to participate in the banquet here are the generals of the army. For ordinary soldiers, they are not allowed to drink alcohol, and they are not even allowed to walk around at will.

In this way, the Allied Forces of Otomo's family settled down on the spot when the general was drinking in the temple and the soldiers took shelter from the rain in the camp outside the temple.

Just when Tian Bei Jiansheng thought that everyone would stop because of the heavy rain.In the early hours of the morning, [-] cavalry led by Zheng Liang quietly appeared near Dayou's coalition camp.

At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, the thunder had disappeared, and the wind had subsided, but the whistling was strong and made people tremble.A gust of wind like this passed by, and everything didn't know how to be, even the willows were waiting for something in surprise.At the same time, there were still streaks of lightning flashing from time to time in the horizon.Zhengliang saw the road clearly following the lightning bolts, and walked along the road that the detective had explored long ago.Fortunately, these war horses have received certain training, and they have survived in the wild when they were captured, and they are not afraid of thunderstorms in the wild, so that the army arrived here so smoothly.

In the darkness, Zheng Liang wore armor all over his body, and even put on the Nanman helmet given by Zhu Qinfeng.

"Your Highness, everyone is already in place!" At this moment, Kato Danzo walked over quickly.Since it was dark at night, and in order not to disturb the Otomo family's coalition forces, the troops dispersed after arriving nearby.Now Kato Duanzang is here to confirm to Zheng Liang that all the cavalry are now in place and ready to attack at any time.

"Kill!" Zheng Liang yelled, and the black eagle next to him whistled.The melodious whistle became the most effective attack signal in the silent morning.The Luo family cavalry officially began to attack.

Zheng Liang's feet tightened on the horse's back, and the "Bailihei" vines under him jumped up, following the torched cavalry in front and began to advance.

At this time, several camp guards from Dayou's family were standing in front of a battalion commander, dozing off while guarding the gate of the camp.In the blur, they heard a crisp whistle, followed by the sound of earth shaking in front of them.When they looked forward, they only saw a few torches approaching at high speed.

Seeing this scene, the guards immediately prepared to warn, but suddenly dozens of javelins flew from the darkness in front of them and hit them, and the guards screamed and fell to the ground.

"Kill!" Roaring like a tiger descending from the mountain, the cavalrymen of Luo's family rushed into the camp of the Allied Forces of Dayou's family after it was still silent... (To be continued.)
