Warring States Eagle

() There is a saying that the strongest fortress is often the first to collapse from the inside.This sentence is most appropriate for Pu Chi's family.

Kamichi Kammori thought that with the family's kin warriors and ashigaru being responsible for guarding Yanagawa Castle, then Yanagawa Castle must be foolproof.Only he was wrong.

Although the Bushido spirit is prevalent in this era, there will be quite a few guys who stick to the Bushido spirit.But people are creatures after all, and they always have emotions.As a result, several relatives of the Puchi family fell under the sugar-coated shells of the Luo family.

The Intelligence Pavilion of the Luo family is not a decoration organization. Since Zheng Liang established such an organization that is the most mysterious and terrifying in the Luo family, Zheng Liang has invested a lot of resources in it. Of course, the Intelligence Pavilion has also achieved a lot of results.

And one of the achievements is to have a very detailed understanding of the surrounding areas, ranging from big names to small local wealthy families.Long before Masaragi decided to launch an attack on the southwestern part of Chikugo, the intelligence cabinet had already started operating in advance.Not only a large number of scouts, black eagles, and some people who returned to Chikugo with various missions sneaked into Chikugo, even some infiltration work on the local wealthy families also started simultaneously.

The Kuroki House is one of the results of this work, and the current Puchi House is another.

It's just that the cooperation of the internal response is just the last straw that crushes the elephant. Before that, more straws are needed as a foreshadowing.And the commander of this foreshadowing is Akabane Shinnosuke, one of the two military advisers of the Luo family.

In fact, according to Zhengliang's thinking, this time the two military divisions should cooperate.Just before giving the order.Masara remembered the agreement he had made with another military adviser, Kakukuma Ishimune.That is, he is unwilling to participate in anything with Otomo's family.And the Pochi family and Chikugo.It's all within the sphere of influence of the Otomo family.Masara hesitated for a moment, and finally gave up on his original idea, letting Kakukuma Ishimune stay in charge of Hizen's affairs.

After receiving Masara's order, Akabane Shinnosuke immediately started preparing for the cage battle against Yanagawa Castle.

First, according to Zhengliang's order, he temporarily recruited a team of more than 1000 farmers and soldiers in Hizen.In addition to the 300 peasants and soldiers who had already besieged under the city of Liuchuan, the total number of peasants and soldiers in this cage battle was more than 200.The guard force in Liuchuan City is less than [-] people.

While recruiting farmers and soldiers, Akabane Shinnosuke also prepared siege equipment and summoned generals according to Masara's order.

Participating in the Battle of the Yanagawa Cage this time were Oda Masamitsu, Nabeshima Kiyobo, Nafu Shinkei, Xiaohe Shinan, Akaana Moriki, and Mingfeng Hidemasa, Liu Ye, and Honda Toshimasa who had already stayed in the barracks outside Yanagawa.The above-mentioned people are mainly generals of the Ministry of Logistics and the Cabinet.

Except for these people.There are also Ueda Shinji, Uemura Hongzuna, Tetsunosuke, Kumon Shigetada, Roshi Masahide, and Roshi Shingoro from Military Pavilion.Even Masara's minor surnames Murakami Takekichi, Nabeshima Naomi, and Honda Masanobu participated in this cage battle.

Most of these people are lieutenants who stayed in the occupied areas of Hizen or Chikugo.

After seeing this list of personnel and the request to recruit a large number of farmers and soldiers, Akabane Shinnosuke quickly understood what Masara meant.Zheng Liang wanted to take advantage of this cage battle to train the peasants, soldiers and generals in the territory on a large scale.

With the series of struggles with the forces of the Otomo family in Hizen and Chikugo during this period, in fact, the reduction in the strength of the Luo family is also very severe.If it hadn't been for the fact that the Ouchi family's coalition forces fought against the Ouchi family's coalition forces for several days, which consumed the fighting power of the Ouchi family to a certain extent, it is estimated that the situation of Luo's attrition would have been even more serious.

Soldiers who died in battle, regardless of standing or peasant soldiers, will be compensated in strict accordance with the territorial standards, and the remains of soldiers will also be buried in the Hero Tomb at Notakayama on the Hizen Matsuura Peninsula. worship of some people.Enjoy the treatment of martyrs.

As for the wounded soldiers, after being healed by the temple medical team led by Monk Xuanzhi.Those who can continue to fight after recovering from their injuries will continue to fight in the team. Of course, they will definitely be promoted or rewarded materially according to their combat achievements.For those who can no longer continue to fight, they will directly enter the Roche Academy for a month of training and study, and then they will be scattered in the territories of the Roche family in Hizen and Chikugo, serving as local government and military officials respectively.Worst of all, there is a village that can be Dangdang.

However, since a large number of soldiers have received pensions, there must have been a large number of attrition in the Luo family. In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of each team, it must be selected from the almost reserve farmers and soldiers.Due to time constraints, these scattered and selected farmers and soldiers were unable to participate in the three-month recruit training camp before entering the various teams.Instead, he directly entered the fan team to participate in the battle.

Under such circumstances, the battle of peasants and soldiers directly affected the overall combat effectiveness of the entire fan team.Although these peasants and soldiers are the best in various places, the real battlefield is not the same thing as the training ground.How to improve the combat power of these reserve farmers and soldiers will be an important indicator of the Luo family's war potential.

At present, there are several main methods of reserve training in the Luo family.First of all, children over the age of eight but under the age of 15 from all over the territory will form a patrol team in their respective places of life, and take turns to conduct simple military training on a regular basis.

The second is that farmers and soldiers from all over the country will conduct training under the leadership of the village heads in charge of military training in various places every month.These village heads are generally retired soldiers from various squads, and the training effect can also be guaranteed to a certain extent.

Finally, when the various teams need a large number of recruits or expansion of troops, after a large number of recruits, a three-month recruit training will be held in the recruit camp in Nogayama, Hizen Matsuura Peninsula.

With the gradual rise of the Luo family for more than three years, these policies have been greatly promoted in the internal struggle of the territory.Especially in Matsuura County and other places that were first ruled by the Luo family, these policies have almost become a part of their daily life.

However, relying on these alone is not enough.The above-mentioned policies need to settle in the territory for at least several years before they can exert their real effect.Therefore, for now, it is necessary to try to train these reserve farmers and soldiers.

And this cage city battle is a good training opportunity.Similarly, for these lieutenants, internal affairs officers, logistics officers and even small surnames, this is also a very good training opportunity.In this cage city battle, they will exercise their abilities in logistics organization, commanding troops, and commanding the battlefield, so as to accumulate development potential for the development of the Luo family.

So, after clearly understanding Masaragi's purpose of the cage city this time, Akabane Shinnosuke commanded everyone to launch round after round of attacks on Yanagawa Castle.During this period, they mainly lived in sao harassment warfare and storm warfare.

Of course, since exercise is the main thing, the casualties must not be too large, so every time Akabane Shinnosuke's siege is focused on the point.But even so, the consecutive days of siege made everyone in Liuchuan City exhausted, not only exhausted but also panicked.

Finally, on the sixth day after Luo's family attacked the city, with the help of several insiders, the Luo's family opened the gate of Liuchuan City.This day was declared to be the strongest fortified city in Chikugo. (to be continued...)
