Warring States Eagle

On the sea to the east of Iki Island, the rain fell like beads with a broken thread.The rainwater fell on the surface of the sea water, causing countless ripples.

Suddenly a north wind blew, and a dark cloud rushed over from the northern sky, mixed with lightning and thunder.In an instant, the wind was strong and the sky was filled with dark clouds.In an instant, the bead-like raindrops were connected into a line, and with a "wow", the heavy rain tilted down from the sky like the sky had collapsed.

The change in weather at this time did not shake the determination of the two camps on the sea to fight decisively.

On the side of Hata on Iki Island, nearly [-] warships of Hata and Tsushima have already set up battles.The Ouchi family navy that had just arrived was also swinging their camp at this time.

"Are those the Luo family's navy that dominates Xuan Beach?" On the Anzhai ship of Ouchi's family, an old man in a coir raincoat who looked to be in his 50s stood on the deck of the ship, looking at the distant Luo's family sailor said.

"Master Yuanjiu. This is just a part of the Luo family's navy. As far as I know, the Luo family still has a navy of similar strength along the coasts of Hizen and Bungo countries." Takasaka Kurokawa (also known as Omiyaji of Munakata Shrine), the vassal of the Munakata family who died in the Chikuzen country Hakata Bay Ling family and revenged Daiyoshi, spoke at this time.

"En!" Mao Liyuan nodded his head to express his understanding after hearing the words, but he thought in his heart, so what?Next, let me, Mao Liyuan, wipe out the Luo family navy in front of me first.Presumably the sneak attacking eagle would be furious when he found out.

In May of this year, when Ouchi Yoshitaka received the envoys for help from Hatata, Iki Island.Mao Liyuan happened to be there.So he also knew the information that Luo's family was going to attack Iki Island in July.Out of the need to take the opportunity to stay away from the Ouchi hall to avoid the surveillance of the Ouchi family.Mao Liyuan immediately took the initiative to take over the task of supporting Iki Island Hatata.

Later, in the name of the Ouchi family in the Buzen country, he secretly convened a discussion with the Hata family of Iki Island, the family of Tsushima Island, the Otomo family of the Bungo country, and the Ito family of the Hyuga country. alliance.Even after the meeting, Mao Liyuan sent envoys to Satsuma to invite the Shimadzu family to join the encirclement against the Luo family.In addition, he sent a spy to infiltrate the Roche family, and then prepared to spread rumors in the Roche family territory when the Roche family started to fight on Iki Island in the way of his own way.The rumors were mainly to criticize the Luo family's transfer of title to the wealthy family, in an attempt to incite dissatisfaction with the Luo family from those wealthy families.

According to the plan, when the Luo family attacked Iki Island in July.First, the Hatata navy was used as a bait to attract the Luo family's navy to the vicinity of Iki Island, and then the Tsushima clan and the Ouchi family's navy that had been on standby along the coasts of various territories surrounded the Luo family's navy on the periphery. Rise up and carry out joint encirclement and suppression.Afterwards, they began to attack the coastal areas of Luo's family Hizen country and Chikuzen country.

At the same time, the Otomo family and the Ito family in the east attacked the territory of the Luo family in Bungo at the same time, making it impossible for the Luo family to respond to the east and west, thus achieving the goal of attacking the Luo family.If the situation is good, the Ouchi family will even launch a full-scale attack on the Luo family.

Of course, there are two loopholes in this plan of Mori Motozuru, that is, an attempt to spread rumors within the territory of the Luo family to incite the local rich to rebel against the Luo family, and at the same time to launch attacks on the west coast and the border of the Bungo country in the east in an attempt to make the Luo family useless answer.In fact, the effects of these two approaches are limited.

Under the laws of the Luo family.The local wealthy families not only lost their military power but also lost the support of the general citizens (the support of the local people is the Luo family), even if these wealthy families really conspired to rebel.At most, he would pull up a few of his own clansmen to make trouble.Such a rebellion would soon be quelled.Moreover, under the law of the Luo family, these powerful families are not without benefits, and they will not blindly listen to rumors, so this method of rumors may be effective for wealthy families other than the Luo family, but it has limited effect on the Luo family.

In addition, also because the Luo family implemented a standing military system, Mao Liyuan planned to launch simultaneous attacks in multiple places on the border to disperse the strength of the Luo family, just like dealing with other powerful families, so as to find a way to enter the hinterland of the Luo family. Obviously, the effect is limited.Because every standing unit at the border of the Luo family and the temporarily recruited garrison soldiers are dedicated to guarding the border of the territory, the Luo family has enough troops to deal with these intrusions.

Of course, because the Luo family has always controlled their own laws and regulations very tightly, ordinary citizens and even wealthy families only know the part of the laws and regulations that they need to understand. As for the laws and regulations that have nothing to do with them, they don't know. Over the past few years, the content of the law that has flowed out of the territory of the Luo family is limited. In the absence of understanding of the content of the law of the Luo family, Mao Liyuan can only deal with the Luo family with the thinking of a general wealthy family.

However, Mao Liyuan's strategy set up this time was not completely ineffective, at least this time, he besieged Zhengliang's fleet in a crooked manner.However, Zhengliang also gave them a "surprise".

Originally, according to the information that Bodo obtained from the Luo family, the Luo family would only start their battle against Iki Island in July, but in fact it is now much earlier than the time mentioned in the information.This directly caught the Bodo, Tsushima and Ouchi families by surprise.

In desperation, Bodo had no choice but to use the bay in Gumi City as a bait to let the Luo's family delay there for a while. They urgently called for help from the main family on Tsushima Island and the Ouchi family who were on standby near Moji Port.And Mao Liyuan just happened to be in the navy to supervise the preparations for the navy.That's why today's scene happened.

If Masara really attacked Iki Island in July, it is estimated that before the Luo family captured the bay of Gumi Castle by that time, the Luo family's navy would be surrounded by a larger navy headed by the Ouchi family. .Now, due to the urgency of the matter, the number of sailors who rushed to support Bodo was much smaller than the number of sailors planned in advance.

So why this time, after receiving the request from Bodo for help, many tyrants including the Ouchi family immediately joined forces to deal with the Luo family, and even the Ouchi family didn't care about launching an all-out war with the Luo family because of this, and directly launched support for Iki Island.

The main reason is that this time the Luo family's strategy on Iki Island directly touched the core interests of these tycoons.

For Bodo, whether they can withstand the Luo family's attack is already a matter of Bodo's life and death, so naturally they will fight hard.

For the main family of Tsushima Island.After Iki Island is occupied by the Luo family, he will face the threat of the Luo family, so at this time, Iki Island is equivalent to a barrier between him and the Luo family, and he naturally does not want Iki Island to fall into the hands of the Luo family.In addition, due to the Luo family's business road blockade policy during this period, it also indirectly affected the trade on Tsushima Island, especially the food transportation that the Zong family also urgently needed was banned by the Luo family.This greatly damaged his interests, so when he received the proposal from the Ouchi family, he naturally joined the camp against the Luo family.

For Ouchi family.First of all, the Luo family is currently in a hostile relationship with him. All the things that make Masara Roshi unhappy are the things Yoshitaka Ouchi is happy about.In addition, the previous commercial blockade of the Luo family on Iki also affected the business of the Ouchi family.More importantly, the waters near Iki Island and Tsushima Island were the only passages for the Kanwa trade between the Ouchi family and the Ming Dynasty, as well as trade with North Korea.If this place is occupied by the Luo family, then the trade between the Ouchi family and the Ming Dynasty and North Korea will be subject to the Luo family, and even blocked by the Luo family. This is unacceptable to the Ouchi family, so for Iki The Ouchi family had no choice but to agree to the island's request for help.

The Otomo family is always thinking about how to take back Bungo country as their old nest, so as long as they have the opportunity, they will immediately launch an invasion of the territory of the Luo family's Bungo country.The Ito family was worried that the Luo family would be too large and would invade the Hyuga country, so whenever there was an opportunity to suppress the Luo family, they would actively participate.

Surprisingly, it was the Shimadzu family.When receiving the joint invitation from the Motoshi Ouchi family, as an ally of the Roche family, Takahisa Shimadzu did not participate in the alliance that besieged the Roche family, but he did not send Motomo secretly. The letter of invitation was sent to Zhengliang, which put Zhengliang in danger at this time.

"My lord, let me cover you and escape from here quickly while the opponent is not encircled on three sides." After hearing that a huge ship of unknown force also appeared behind, everyone thought it was an enemy ship from the enemy camp, so they immediately advised Admonish the government for good ways.

"No!" Zheng Liang firmly refused.

"My lord, I beg you to leave the battlefield immediately for the sake of my family. I beg you. It is my honor to be able to follow the lord in this life. Now, please let me be loyal to the lord." Fei Duan, Ari The others yelled.

"Please let me be loyal to the lord!" All the retainers and soldiers around knelt on the deck and begged Zhengliang.

"You... what are you doing? Who said we would be defeated this time? When did you see that your lord would be defeated?" Zheng Liang suddenly took off his coir raincoat and stood directly in the heavy rain.

"Stand up! Today we will once again let the world know our undefeated legend!" The rain poured into Zheng Liang's eyes, nose and mouth like a river, but Zheng Liang stood in the middle of the deck like a god.
