Warring States Eagle

In the 18th year of Tianwen, in the camp of the Luo family outside the city of Mure Castle in Bungo Country, Kyushu, there was a strong sense of spring.The surrounding mountains are continuous and green everywhere.

Zhengliang stepped on the morning dew to inspect the soldiers assembled outside the city.In his opinion, this army is strong and strong, absolutely reliable.

After inspecting the camp, Zheng Liang began to walk back to his tent.Hidan and Taketori Sheranmaru followed closely behind.Zheng Liang looked back at them and said, "I never expected that the battle last night would go so smoothly."

"It all depends on the lord's blessings and blessings." Fei Duan immediately replied with a smile.

"Have they all come?"

"I'm already waiting for the lord in the tent." Taketori Sheranmaru on the other side also said.In the morning, it was he who was responsible for sending people to notify the generals to come to participate in the assessment.

"it is good."

Zheng Liang nodded, raised his face to face the rising sun, and walked into the big tent.

"My lord." Everyone in the big tent saluted immediately after seeing Zheng Liang.

"Yeah." Zheng Liang walked slowly to the seat of the host and sat down, then scanned the crowd.

In the battle last night, Zhengliang led the Luo family's army of more than 3000 people to raid the camp of Otomo's Usuki Kamsu, causing great chaos to the Otomo's army.Then, under the leadership of Yoshimi Irita, the powerful army of Hara Otomo's family who had been on standby for a long time came to help out, and then the executioner who received an order letter written by Masara on the way also led the only remaining The third Luo family with more than 1000 soldiers joined the battlefield.At this time, the balance of victory has completely tilted to the Luo family's side.

In the end, it was also after receiving an order from the cloaked crowd around Zheng Liang who had crossed over from the chaotic battlefield.Masao Kinoshita personally led 3000 people to help out.Only two thousand people were left led by Ander.In order to prevent the guards in Jiaomou City from going out of the city to attack the camp.Fortunately, although Jiaomou City had noticed it, no one dared to come out to investigate the situation.

The combined attack of more than 8000 people from the three sides of Luo's family completely surrounded the Otomo's camp stationed in Shimono Uehara, Qingye Mountain.After the fierce fighting in the first half of the night, the camp of Dayou's family was completely occupied, and then the Luo's family began to clean up the battlefield until this morning.Last night, after confirming that the battle had been won, Zheng Liang also went to the second army camp in Jiaomuli City under the protection of his subordinates to rest and recuperate.

After last night's battle.The generals in the big tent were somewhat injured, and it was seen that Watanabe Michi, Jindai Victory, Enjoji Nobuyuki, Akaike Changren, Executive Zhongkan, and Asakura Sodi were more or less tied up. straps.Since Masaragi was the main general, in addition to participating in the fighting at the beginning, he later focused on commanding the battlefield under the protection of Hidan, Taketori Sheranmaru and others. He was responsible for intercepting the rout of Dayou's family on the periphery, but he was not injured.In addition, Masao Kinoshita was also unscathed in the battle.Of course, there are also two people in the big tent who are dissatisfied because they did not participate in last night's battle. They are Luo Shizhengxiu and Nabeshima Naomo. .Prevent the broken troops of the Dayou family from breaking through from this direction, and thus enter the northwestern area of ​​Zhijin County, which has become the territory of the Luo family, to make trouble.

"I'm sorry. Everyone, due to the tight schedule, I didn't let you take a good rest and let you come to participate in the evaluation." Seeing the exhausted faces of everyone, Zheng Liang said apologetically.

"Serve my master with my life." Although everyone felt a little tired at this time, they were very excited inside.Especially the people in the second and third armies. They felt that there was almost nothing the lord could not do. They suddenly descended from the sky and attacked the support army of Dayou's family from the impossible rear in one fell swoop, completely changing the situation. The situation in Bungo.And the newly surrendered members of the original Otomo family were also shocked. They had a deep understanding of the Luo family's military strength and Luo's Zhengliang's strength, and they followed Zhengliang along the way. The family's fear and loyalty have increased a lot.

"Well, let me tell you about the harvest last night." Zheng Liang immediately started the formal assessment.

"My lord, in the battle last night, the Saito family, Saito Harimamori, and the heads of the Usuki family, Kosai family, Tsukumi family, Taguchi family, Sada family, Shibata family and other local nobles in Bungo Oita County were captured." Masao Kinoshita Report immediately.Since he was the only general who was not injured after the fierce battle last night, he had to be in charge of the clean-up work after the battle.

"Why are they all the generals of the local wealthy families in Oita County?" Zheng Liang asked puzzled.

"My lord, according to the confessions of some captives, this is mainly because Oita County is the closest to Kakumure Castle, so the local powerful army is naturally the main force of the first batch of reinforcements. In addition, I also learned that the Kunisaki Peninsula The Tianbei family, the Yoshizuru family, the Tahara family, the Kifuke family, the Naido family, the Fulai family, and the Taketatsu family are also mobilizing their forces, and they will enter Oita County as the second batch of reinforcements, and then wait for the opportunity to support various places." The fly in charge of the interrogation Duan replied immediately.

"So that's it. Is there any trace of Usuki Kanha?" Immediately, Masaragi thought of Usuki Kanha, one of the three elders in the future of Bungo. Su, so Masara is now eager to know the situation of Kamsu Usuki.

"My lord, I couldn't find this person among the captives. I'm afraid he escaped in the chaos last night." Fei Duan said afterwards.Although Dayou's camp was surrounded by [-] troops of Luo's family last night, Dayou's army also had more than [-] people, so in the dark night, quite a few people took advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Did you escape? It's a pity." Zheng Liang nodded.This "pity" has two meanings. One is to feel sorry for not being able to catch Usuki Kansuji, and the other is to feel sorry for Usuki Kansuji's fate.Because even if Kamsu Usuki escapes, he can only escape into the nearby mountains, but besides this mountain road, there are mountains and forests stretching for hundreds of miles. In the villages controlled by the Luo family along the road, otherwise there is only a dead end.

Even so, Zhengliang did not intend to let Usuki Jiansu go, so he immediately ordered: "Post up a warrant in the territory controlled by the family, and order this person to be arrested. The capturer will reward ten anti-paddy fields and a stone of rice." Hidan immediately accepted the order. .

"My lord, a large amount of grain was found in Otomo's camp this time, and the exact amount is still being sorted out." Kinoshita Masunao later reported.

"Okay, very good!" Zheng Liang was overjoyed when he heard that.If you don't travel long distances, you don't know the hard work of logistics.Take the second army that marched from Rishou City in Hita County to Jiaomuli City in Jiuzhu County as an example.Even when the road conditions are not bad, the logistics transportation team also spends a lot of time transporting grain.As for the third army whose first half of the offensive route is completely mountain road, there is almost no logistical support.This is also the reason why Naoshima Naoshige advocated an immediate attack on Kokonoe Town in the northwest of Bungo Naoiri County, for the sake of the grain reserves in Kokonoe Town.After that, the logistics of the third army was basically provided by the newly occupied Zhirui County area.

As for the army led by Zhengliang himself, it was not bad in the southwestern area of ​​Zhirui County in the early stage. The logistics supplies were self-sufficient in the early stage, and the newly occupied territory in the southwest of Zhirui County was supplied in the later stage.However, after entering the Jiulianzhong Mountains, the logistics support was basically blocked. Due to the rugged and narrow mountain roads, the logistics team led by Toshimoto Honda couldn't keep up with Zheng Liang's speed at all, so Zheng Liang simply went. Let Honda Junzheng slowly follow up.Later, when Masara was preparing to send out reinforcements to attack Usuki Kamhasa at night, news came from the rear that Toshimoto Honda was still on his way.

Therefore, being able to seize a large amount of grain here can be said to have solved the urgent need of the Luo family's army.Otherwise, Zheng Liang can only rely on the method of fighting to support the war to seize logistical supplies.This method is not harmful to the army that has no intention to stay, but it will be very harmful to the Luo family who will stay to rule this area in the future.Taking Nanfeihou as an example, due to the resistance of the local people and temples, the Luo family's army directly advanced in the way of fighting to support the war. The hostile attitude greatly hindered the rule of the territory. (To be continued..)
