Warring States Eagle

The Chikuzen Kingdom and Chikugo Kingdom in Kyushu were indeed at war at this time.

On the day when Zheng Liang led his army to chase Otomo Yoshikami.According to Zhengliang's previous order, the generals of the Luo family divided their troops into three groups and started the attack on Chikugo and Chikuzen.

The first to make contributions is Kinoshita Masao's army.On the same day, Kinoshita Masao led the army to quickly cross the Chikugo River to the north bank, and then took advantage of the emptiness and negligence of the defenders to capture the Iwakiri mountain castle of the Akizuki family in Shita County of the Chikuzen Kingdom, and then he He also took advantage of the night to sneak attack Madiliang City in Shangzuo County, which had become an isolated city. At this time, he had already surrounded Shanmu City, the residence of Qiuyue's family, with his army.

This time, the Qiuyue family was forcibly recruited by the Ouchi family to attack the Luo family, and suffered heavy losses in the previous night's battle. Now Masao Kinoshita attacked with lightning, obviously caught off guard and hadn't responded yet Come here, and the walled cities near Jucheng fell one by one.And when Masao Kinoshita's army appeared outside Shanmu City, the house governor Qiuyue Wenzhong had just escaped from the battle that night.Seeing that it was not good, Qiuyue's family had no choice but to sue for peace.At this time, the Qiuyue family's envoy for peace was already on their way to Rixiu City.

However, Jia Fei's army encountered a little difficulty along the way.

Just as Zhengliang had expected before, after learning that the coalition forces of Otomo's family and Ouchi's family were defeated overnight by the Luo's family, the Kusano family, the Hoshino family, and the Wenzhusuo family all closed their gates tightly, refusing to accept Otomo from outside the city. , The Da Nei family was defeated, and they were unwilling to send personnel out of the city to contact the Luo family's army.In desperation, Kai had no choice but to send a large army to closely monitor the movement of these wealthy families, and on the other hand began to hunt down the rout soldiers hiding everywhere in the countryside.In order to prevent these routs from making chaos everywhere.

As for Yoshida Shigemasa.At this time, the Ouchi family's army was confronting Ouchi's army in Mihara County of the Chikugo Kingdom.After being severely beaten by the Luo family's Iron Cannon Squad.The army of the Ouchi family hid back in the two cities of Shannu and Akashi in desperation, trying to defend the city to the death.

In addition, Akabane Shinnosuke, who was in the Hizen country's Sanse Castle, received Masara's order, and decisively crossed the Sanse card located in the Beizhen Mountain Road, and began to march towards the Chikuzen country's Harada family restaurant.At the same time, he also requested that the head of Harada Takashiro, who unfortunately was trampled to death by the fleeing soldiers, be sent to his station, as if he was plotting a conspiracy against the Harada family.

At the same time, in order to cooperate with Akabane Shinnosuke's actions, the Sixth Standing Ashgaru Division located in the Karatsu area of ​​the Matsuura Army of the Hizen Kingdom and the First Division of the Navy also began to march towards the Chikuzen Kingdom, targeting Gaozu Yamashiro and Hakata Bay respectively.

besides.With the full cleanup of the Cabinet, the general situation of the First World War three days ago has been drawn.In this battle, the Luo family killed 33 cloaks and samurai, 120 ashigaru, and more than 2000 farmers and soldiers. More than 53 people were injured, and 600 cattle were lost. The rest of the wounded cattle may be searching are in or are receiving treatment.Among the soldiers of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family, more than [-] corpses were found just near the camp (the corpses sunk in the Chikugo River can no longer be salvaged, and it is estimated that there are at least hundreds of dead here), There are countless wounded, and more than [-] people have been captured so far.The rest of the materials are being sorted out.

generals.No generals on the Luo family's side were killed in battle, and only 11 were injured to varying degrees.And the side of the Ouchi family and the Otomo family.The most unlucky one is Harada Takashi, the governor of the Harada family.In the process of fleeing, this guy lost his center of gravity due to the heavy armor and fell from his horse into the Chikugo River.With the help of followers.It was hard to climb from the water to the shore, but the result was squeezed and trampled by the rebels.There was even a fight between each other (no one could see who was in the dark, and in order to escape, he had to die for his life), and finally died on the bank of the Chikugo River with his relatives and followers.

The second unlucky one was Tachibana Michiyuki.On the night of the attack, this guy was trampled and broken by two fire oxen that suddenly rushed into his tent before he had time to get up from the floor. Although he almost escaped from the camp with the help of several retainers , but in the end he voluntarily surrendered with his retainers in order to heal the broken leg in time.At the beginning, due to Zheng Liang's reasons, he was transferred from the original station, thus avoiding being struck by lightning under the big tree in the thunderstorm, which led to the end of hemiplegia.It ended up suffering the same fate here.The only good news is that this time he only broke one leg.

In the end, the intelligence cabinet also captured Sugi Shigeki, the son of Sugi Xingyun who was trying to hide in the crowd and get away with it.But Laozi Shan Xingyun was much luckier, escaped the catastrophe, and fled safely to the city of Shanxiu.And the next day, he went out of the city while attacking the Luo family's Katsuo Castle, while gathering the rout soldiers outside the city, but bumped into Ander's Iron Cannon Squad who happened to come, and was beaten to the ground and fled Back to the mountain and nestle in the city and stick to it.In addition to these big fish, the corpses or captives of some small wealthy generals were also found, and they were all disposed of one by one.

After reading the letter, Zheng Liang immediately made several comments.

The first is the problem of disposing of prisoners.At this time, the number of prisoners is too large, and it is obviously inappropriate to continue to merge into the three-way army.Therefore, on the one hand, Zheng Liang asked Dongxiang Heiji to continue to recruit temporary farmers and soldiers in the territory, and on the other hand, he continued to support the various armies.On the other hand, the Cabinet of the Interior and the Intelligence Cabinet are required to classify these captives. If they have a good cooperative attitude, they can be considered to be merged into the three-way army. The rest of the people are directly merged into the slave army of the Luo family. Renovation was carried out during the work of building the marching road and reclaiming the fields.

As for those bodies.Naturally, the body of the family was sent back to the hero's tomb in the territory for burial, and the family members will also receive excellent comfort.At this time, the pension system for the soldiers of the Luo family who died in battle was almost the best system in the whole of Japan, which greatly increased the confidence of the leaders to join the army.

And the corpses of those enemy formations were not treated so well.In order to avoid the occurrence of the plague, after the weapons and armor and other wealth on their bodies were searched and cleared, they were uniformly buried in a big pit.Since it is impossible to fully identify among them at this time, whether it is an ordinary peasant soldier or a powerful warrior in front of them, they are all buried together.At the same time, it is necessary to send people to salvage the corpses floating on the water along the Chikugo River and dispose of them properly to avoid infectious diseases.

With regard to the army of Kaizhizhi all the way, Zhengliang asked to continue to besiege the territories of the Kusano family, the Hoshino family, and the Wenzhusuo family to prevent them from colluding, but there is no need to take the initiative to attack for the time being.

Just as Masahiro wrote his pen to approve the actions of the various armies, a good show was also going on in front of Yamanaki Castle in Mihara County, Chikugo Country.

On the city wall of Ouchijiashan nestling outside the city, Sugi Xingyun, Zhu Shiweimen, Tachibana Kanmitsu, Ohashi Bungo, and Kitahara Zhenhisa, these "difficult brothers and sisters" are looking down at the formation outside the city. The Luo family's military power.

Among these people, Shan Xingyun escaped to return to the city, while Zhuzi Weimen was the original guard of the city.As a powerful family in the former Hizen country, Chikushi Yuimo decisively joined the Ouchi family after following the Shaoer family to attack the Luo family and was defeated. Although they lost their territory in Hizen in the end, they were in Chikuzen controlled by the Ouchi family. The country got a new world.This time, he was appointed by Naito Xingsheng as the general of Shannen City, and he was the second batch of troops to attack the Luo family.It's just that he didn't wait for the Ouchi family and Otomo's family to attack the Luo family, but he waited for Shan Xingyun who came back in a panic.Now he is even more besieged in the city by the Luo family's army, and has become a turtle in an urn.

Of course, among these people, Tachibana Kanmitsu is the most unlucky.As the governor of the Tachibana family, this time he was inspired by Naito Xingsheng for a while, and impulsively led troops to attack the Luo family. However, before arriving at the battlefield, he learned the news that the Ouchi family's coalition forces had been defeated. , So he quickly hid in the nearby Shannu city.

And this choice is what Tachibana Kanmitsu thought was the most wrong choice in his life.Because of this, he was also trapped in Shanxiu City.He had heard about the bravery of the Luo family's army for a long time, and even witnessed it yesterday. The terrifying sound of the iron cannons and firearms still lingered in his ears, which made him terrified.

Compared to Tachibana Kanmitsu, the Takahashi family governor, Takahashi Nagane, is much smarter.He didn't have the heart to respond to Naito Xingsheng's call, so he simply pretended to be sick and let his family's strong general Kitahara Zhenjiu go out instead of him.Unexpectedly, such a move saved his life in the end, but made Beiyuan Zhenjiu a scapegoat.

Of course, among these people, the one who is most frightened right now is Ohashi Bungo.He also got separated from the family governor Qiuyue Wenzhong during that night's retreat, and finally fled into Shanxiu City with Shan Xingyun.

Compared with others, he has seen the bravery of the Luo family's army several times.And because my family has always been in close contact with the Luo family, I have a deeper understanding of the Luo family.The last time he had seen the bravery of the "Hizen Eagle" Roshi Masara head-on, and personally participated in the pursuit of Roshi Masara.Now he is really afraid of being recognized by the Luo family's army outside the city.At that time, he will definitely be cut to pieces.

On the top of the city, everyone has different thoughts.

Shan Xingyun, who was the temporary general at this time, obviously didn't want to lose his momentum. He squinted his eyes and looked at the formation of the Luo family's army outside the city, and said to everyone: "With the strength of the Luo family, we can Dare to attack the city?" His tone seemed to be dismissive of the strength of the Luo family's army.

Chikushi Yuimo, who almost wore the same pair of trousers as Sugi Xingyun, immediately echoed: "Such a force is not to be feared."
