Warring States Eagle

The sky is gradually dawning, the pale blue sky is inlaid with a few residual stars, and the earth is hazy, like a silver-gray veil.At this time, the sky was already slightly revealing egg whites, and the clouds gathered in the sky like they were going to a market, showing a faint red color as if soaked in blood.

That night, the coalition forces of the Ouchi family and the Ouchi family scattered and fled in all directions like rats being chased away, with screams and hissing intertwined.Countless black figures crisscrossed in the barracks. In the raging flames, one or two rout troops trying to escape from the camp could occasionally be seen, and the Luo family's army who caught up cut off their heads.

But there were too many fleeing people. Even though the Luo family's army was chasing and killing them with all their strength, some of them escaped into the woods of the nearby Gaoliang Mountain or simply jumped into the Chikugo River. The rest of the defeated army was not To be hacked and killed by the Luo family's army is to throw away the weapon and surrender.

Zheng Liang wiped the sweat off his face, and looked around.During the one-night battle, due to the large amount of blood poured into the ground and the trampling of everyone, the ground of the big camp at this time was completely turned into a blood-colored muddy land. On top of the mud, there were scattered black tents all over the ground. Waiting for camp supplies, there are also a large number of cold corpses.In some places, the corpses were even piled on top of each other, soaking in the mud like piles of white meat.

Look at yourself again.After a night of fighting, Zheng Liang didn't know how many people he killed. Now he suddenly realized that his whole body was covered in blood, and even the sweat wiped from his face was tinged with blood.The blood belonged to the enemy army, but Zheng Liang was miraculously not hurt at all.Of course, this is mainly due to the protection of several lieutenants and attendants who have been closely surrounding him.It seems that the last attack has made them jittery.

Regarding how many people were hacked and killed in this battle, and how brave he was.Zhengliang no longer paid attention to it.Since the last ambush.Zhengliang already understood it very clearly.No matter how brave the general is, once he falls into the siege of the enemy, if he is single-handed, he will be surrounded and killed.Don't look at the descriptions in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Guan Yu is like a thousand troops entering the land of no one to take the head, and Zhao Zilong single-handedly broke into Cao's formation, these are just the plots in the novel.

Back to reality, unless the enemy army does not intend to kill you or you are invulnerable, once you fall into the siege of thousands of troops.No matter how brave you are, you are still dead.In the last ambush, although Zheng Liang only killed more than 20 people in the end, he withstood hundreds of attacks, wounded countless enemy troops, and escaped from the constant siege of hundreds of people.Zhengliang was indeed brave at the time, but he almost died of exhaustion in the end.So Zheng Liang has already remembered that he must not easily fall into the situation of being besieged by enemies several times his size.

Of course, there were losses in this battle.Thinking of this, Zheng Liang touched the Ji Gangyi character in his hand like a lover.At this time, several relatively large gaps have appeared on the blade of Ji Gangyi's characters, through the blood that condensed on the blade.It can also be vaguely felt that many cracks have appeared on the blade.This samurai sword that has followed Masamune since his infancy has finally come to the end of history today.Zhengliang touched the blade again.Then slowly put it back into the scabbard.

For this knife.He planned to enshrine it in the Luo family's ancestral temple located in Nogayama, Matsuura County, Hizen Kingdom, for future generations and people in the territory to visit.It will even write its story into words and engrave it on a stone tablet in the temple for future generations to understand.What he didn't know was that this unintentional move made the knife a famous place in the temple.What's more, this famous sword that was about to break was kept for hundreds of years.But all famous knives are rarely kept for such a long time.Therefore, this Ji Gangyi character can really be said to be "the end of life and the right place to die".

"Lord!"

Just as Zheng Liang was resting for a while, several nearby generals came to Zheng Liang's side one after another.At this time, the battlefield was basically quiet. Except for some wounded prisoners who were still howling and screaming, the entire battlefield was basically controlled by the Luo family's army.

"Order, Kakukuma Ishimune led the rear and the wounded to garrison the battlefield, and dealt with follow-up matters, and ordered Yamamoto Kansuke in Takara Castle to send people to assist. Order Togo Heiji to immediately recruit another [-] peasants and soldiers to come to support." All the generals who could be found had arrived, and Zheng Liang immediately ordered.

After receiving the order, the three messengers trotted down to convey the order.Since Yamamoto Kansuke and Togo Heiji are still in Kora Castle at this time, and Kakukuma Ishimune is still leading his rear line to treat the wounded in the family and dispose of the prisoners, so these people are not here at this time, and naturally they need someone to go Notified personally.

"Order Kinoshita Masunao's headquarters to hand over the camp of the Ouchi clan to the rear camp, and the right-wing camp where he is located will immediately cross the Chikugo River and head to the three counties of Yasu, Shimoza, and Kamiza in the territory of the Akizuki clan of the Chikuzen Kingdom on the north bank of the Chikugo River. Advance, take advantage of the empty enemy position to seize the city as much as possible. Remember, do not fight to the death after encountering the enemy, and take capturing the enemy's city as the primary purpose."

Similarly, since Kinoshita Masunao's right formation was in the Ouchi family's camp at this time, Kinoshita Masao was not present either, so naturally two messengers rushed forward to deliver the order.

"Yoshida Shigemasa immediately led his third standing ashigaru squad back to Hizen Asahiyama Castle and Katsuo Castle, where the rest of the third standing ashigaru squad and the first standing iron artillery squad that assisted in guarding the castle took the initiative to attack To attack the two castles of Akashi and Sanbu in Mihara County of the Chikugo Country on the north bank of the Chikugo River, the two castles must not leave the city, let alone go to support the castles of the three counties of Yasu, Shimoza, and Kamijo in the Chikuzen Kingdom.”

Since the camp of the Ouchi family was established on the south bank of the Chikugo River, the battle tonight will inevitably cause many of the Ouchi family to flee to the north bank of the Chikugo River, and then flee to these two fortresses.At the same time, if the armies of the powerful families from various countries who are still rushing to meet up do not immediately retreat back to their own territory after learning the result of tonight's battle, they will basically enter these two fortresses nearby, so There must be a large number of troops in these two fortresses, and Zhengliang does not expect Yoshida Shigemasa to be able to conquer these two fortresses, but at least the troops in these two fortresses cannot be allowed to make trouble, or even hinder Masao Kinoshita on the other side. The Raiders of Chikuzen Country.

"Ander also rushed to Asahiyama and Katsuo Castle, and joined the Iron Cannon Team here to assist Yoshida Shigemasa in the attack on the two cities. The first large cylinder of our family should have arrived at the village in the castle by now, pass on my order, It is no longer necessary to transport it to Gaoliang Castle, and divert it to Asahiyama Castle. If necessary, you can use a large cylinder to attack." Zheng Liang looked at Andel, who was very tall, and said.Last night, this guy stabbed several people to death with his Western-style swordsmanship. His record can be said to be top-notch, and he is secretly proud of himself at this time.Now after hearing that Datong can be used, he is naturally very happy to take the order to follow Yoshida Shigemasa.

Zhengliang's arrangement for Ander has its own purpose. First of all, because tonight's night battle is more of a close combat, there is no need to use the iron artillery squadron, so this squadron came to Kora Castle when Shigemasa Yoshida came to gather At that time, I rushed to Xushan and Katsuo cities to assist those left-behind soldiers to garrison the city.Arranging Ander to go back is naturally convenient for him to restrain his subordinates and exert the maximum combat power of the Iron Cannon Squad. After all, if there is no suitable general, no matter how powerful the Iron Cannon is, it will not be able to display it.

Secondly, the foreigners in the current territory, whether it is Prussia and others who are in charge of technology or Andel and others who are in charge of the Iron Cannon Squad, basically only obey Masatoshi's orders, and ignore the orders of others .Therefore, Masaragi made it clear this time that Shigemasa Yoshida is the main strategy, and Ander is the supplementary, in order to avoid conflicts between the two of them and lead to changes in the strategy.Both of them are smart people, so they naturally understand the meaning of Zheng Liang's words very well.

"The left formation where Kai Nao is located is to set off immediately. The goal is the three castles of Takezhi, Myoken, and Changyan in the Chikugo Kingdom. The Kusano family, the Hoshino family, and the Wenzhusho family in these three cities must be surrendered. Anyone who resists will be killed. No amnesty." In the battle tonight, many of the defeated soldiers of the Great Friends' families will definitely flee to these three cities to hide. One aspect is to force the three cities to surrender.

After this battle, with the disastrous defeat of the coalition forces of the Otomo family and the Ouchi family, the Luo family will completely control the Chikugo country.Zheng Liang, who has always been good at "defensive counterattack", naturally wants to immediately go all out to expand the fruits of victory after the war.Now is the time to sound the clarion call to fight back.
