Warring States Eagle

Several dead cherry trees in the courtyard outside the Kora Castle Council Hall were covered with fallen leaves. Only the green leaves of a few citrus trees stood out in the gust of wind before the heavy rain.

At this time, under the cherry blossom tree, Chi'an Guangqing was sitting. He found a straw mat from nowhere, spread it out and sat on it, and then began to bandage the wound on his arm.Today they suddenly received news that the lord Zhengliang was in an ambush, so they immediately went to the rescue.Since they were cavalry, they were the first to arrive at the ambush site.

When they arrived at the location, they were immediately taken aback by the horror at the scene.Almost half of the cloaks led by Zhengliang were killed or injured, and Oishi Tomohisa's second standing Ashgaru team was almost disabled.Of course, the enemy also paid double the casualty price.

Seeing such a situation, he almost thought that Zheng Liang was in danger.Fortunately, they found Masara and others hiding in the grass of a tributary flowing into the Chikugo River.Although the lord Masaragi was a little out of strength, fortunately he only suffered a little trauma.

After protecting Zhengliang, they immediately began to leave the battlefield.It was at this time that Chixue Guangqing was shot and wounded by the enemy archers who were withdrawing from the battlefield. [

"I don't know what the lord is planning." Tanao Nakamoto, who was also sitting on the ground next to Akaana Mitsuki, said while munching on rice balls.Zheng Liang suddenly ordered everyone to rest and recover immediately and supplement food, which immediately made everyone murmur.

"Is the lord planning to fight back immediately today?" Owatani Junbingwei asked.

"No no." Chi'xue Guangqing shook his head, and then began to take out some fried beans from the dry food bag on his waist to satisfy his hunger.

"The enemy army has already withdrawn from the battlefield. They have begun to set up a large camp. Besides, the rainstorm is coming. My lord will not fight back at this time."

"I'm thinking that the Lord would take advantage of the heavy rain to fight back against the enemy. Isn't the Lord always like this before?"

While the retainers were discussing outside the meeting hall, the evaluation was also carried out in the meeting hall.

"Everyone, I was ambushed this time because of my negligence, which caused great losses to the elite of my family. I sincerely apologize again." Looking at the important officials at home who rushed over in the meeting hall , Zhengliang put his hands on the ground and bent over to apologize.

As Zheng Liang said, this time he was ambushed.He did make a lot of mistakes.

This time Masara was indeed a little arrogant and self-willed. He didn't listen to Kansuke Yamamoto's advice at the beginning, and ran to take risks as the head of the family.This is simply not fully aware of the importance of one's own safety to the stability of the family as the head of the family.And his habit of personally leading the army to the front line was just predicted by the enemy, so there was such an ambush.

It was precisely because some of Zhengliang's habits were clearly grasped by the enemy that during the ambush, the enemy specially used concentrated attacks to force Zhengliang to leave the formation.As a result, the Luo family's army that was ambushed lost its backbone and suffered heavy losses in the end.

Of course, the mistake this time was not entirely Masara's mistake, so when Masara apologized in person, Kansuke Yamamoto was the first to stand up and admit his mistake:

"My lord, you were attacked this time. It was my servant's dereliction of duty. Please punish me, my lord."

This time Zhengliang was attacked, and indeed it had a lot to do with the failure of Black Hawk and the detectives of the Luo family to discover the enemy's tracks in time.Of course, Kansuke Yamamoto cannot be blamed for this, after all, ninjas are not omnipotent.Besides, the manpower is limited, and this time the enemy has the cooperation of Luo's family's internal work.It had been prepared a long time ago, which also caused the Black Hawk to not discover the abnormality in time.

"My lord, Yamamoto-sama, this is not the time to argue about whose fault it is. Let's discuss how to deal with the assembled Otomo and Ouchi allied forces." Kakukuma Ishimune looked at Masara and Yamamoto Kansuke was still admitting his mistakes to each other, so he spoke immediately.Kakukuma Ishimune was lucky. Although he followed Masara into an ambush this time, it seemed that his student Toji Kanren did not make things difficult for him, so after he hid in a forest near the battlefield, there was no was attacked, and was finally able to return to Roche's home in good health.

"That's right, at this time we should first discuss how to deal with the menacing enemy army." Hearing Kakukuma Ishimune's words, Masara immediately looked serious, and then said, "Kansuke, tell me about the information you have received so far. "

The latter also immediately reported with a solemn expression: "The information just received shows that the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family have stopped fighting in Chikugo Mihara County, and when they ambushed the lord, the two families have already begun to send the main force to the ground. Gather to the south bank of the Chikugo River. In addition, a large army suddenly appeared from the Ouchi family's Sugimoto Castle and Iwakiriyama Castle in Chikuzen, and a large force also appeared from the Ouchi family's Hinaki Castle in Bungo. These troops will surely reach Otomo’s and Ouchi’s camp on the south bank of the Chikugo River tonight.”

"Hmph, it seems that after the opponent's ambush failed, he planned to attack directly." General Isano Yuanchang said immediately after hearing this.

"If this is the case, these armies are probably only the first batch of armies. I am afraid that there will be more armies from the Ouchi family and the Otomo family in the future." Tsukuma Ishimune said.

"No, I think that the other party may launch an attack on the main family immediately before the follow-up army arrives." Yamamoto Kansuke judged.In his opinion, the Luo family was ambushed this time. Although the lord Zhengliang escaped, the main force following Zhengliang suffered a heavy blow. They will definitely not let go of this opportunity to take advantage of the victory. [

"From this point of view, today's torrential rain has indeed done my family a great favor." Kakukuma Ishimune said immediately.

"If this is the case, it is expected that after the heavy rain, tomorrow will be the latest, and the opponent will attack our family with all their strength." Togo Heiji said worriedly, "Master Yamamoto, if the opponent's first batch of troops converges, how many people are expected? ?”

"I'm afraid there are no less than 3 people." Kansuke Yamamoto looked solemn.This time, the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family really planned to do their best to kill the Luo family.

"What? 3 people? Damn it, why did the Black Eagle and the detectives in the family know about this before?" Even Kinoshita Masao was shocked this time.

Kansuke Yamamoto, who was in charge of the intelligence cabinet, couldn't help but bowed his head a little bit ashamed.Previously, because they had to fully take over the newly occupied territory of Feihou, and strictly guarded against another rebellion in the territory, most of the Luo family's Black Hawk and detective forces were almost concentrated in these two tasks, so the foreign people The powerful surveillance was indeed negligent.In addition, the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family had conspired against the Luo family a long time ago, especially the Ouchi family. He learned the lesson of being discovered in advance when he conquered the Luo family last time. Assembled the army in secret, the Luo family's Intelligence Pavilion naturally didn't know about it.

"3 people, besides, this is the first army to attack our family tomorrow. If the enemy has a follow-up army, then..." Togo Heiji said a bit bitterly.Indeed, Togo Heiji couldn't be blamed for his performance. After all, at this time, an army of less than 3000 people had gathered near Gaoliang Castle of the Luo family.Three thousand versus thirty thousand is already a huge disparity, if the opponent has follow-up troops, then the situation of the Luo family will be even more critical.

What Dongxiang Heiji can imagine, the rest of the retainers can also imagine.So after Dongxiang Heiji's words came out, everyone fell silent involuntarily.

"My lord, why don't we ask the other party for peace?" After everyone was silent for a while, Togo Heiji continued.

"Seeking peace? How to ask for peace?" It was Masahiro Isano who spoke.

"Well. The Ouchi family will definitely not accept the family's request for peace. After all, the family has already formed a life-and-death enmity with them. The only one who can negotiate peace is the Ouchi family." Yamamoto Kansuke said.

"My lord, my family can marry Meiji to the Ouchi family, and even cede some territory to the Ouchi family. As long as the Dauuchi family is stabilized first, and the family can concentrate its forces to defeat the Ouchi family's army, the crisis of this family will naturally be resolved." Solution." Dongxiang Heiji said.From the perspective of the retainers, Togo Heiji's suggestion is indeed not inappropriate.It's just that he didn't know it, but he touched the scales of Zheng Liang's rebellion.

"Hehe, do you all think that the Ouchi family will accept the peace proposal from our family?" Masaragi gave Togo Heiji a cold look, and then continued, "Besides, if you ask me to ask for peace from a treacherous person, it will definitely not be possible. Yes. This time, the only option for our family is to fight to the death!" (To be continued.)
