Warring States Eagle

In the first ten days of November in the 22nd year of Tianwen ([-]), on the second day after Kinoshita Masao's army attacked Ichinoto Castle in Shimomo County, Buzen Kingdom (actually, no matter how the army progressed, the rest of the army would follow the same pattern as before. The time set by Masamori went out separately), the first, fourth, and fifth third armies of the Luo family carried the banner of the Luo family respectively, and marched from Sankoku Temple in Zhucheng County of Bungzen Country and Jiuzhu of Bungo Country with great fanfare. Hibatsu Castle in the county, and Takasaki Mountain Castle in Oita County in Bungo Country came out on the same day.

The Luo family's four-way army marched together for a while, making the wealthy families in the area pointed by the four-way army prepare for battle urgently.Since these areas are all adjacent to the territory of the Luo family, at this time their borders have gathered a lot of refugees to varying degrees.So these wealthy families immediately took out the food reserves and began to recruit these refugees to help resist the invasion of the Luo family.

Whether it is the southeastern region of Bungzen Kingdom or the northeastern region of Bungo Kingdom, since their land and sea borders have been blocked by the Luo family, this time the Luo family is equivalent to closing their doors to these two regions. When the powerful clan fought, there was no need to worry about being intervened by other powerful clans.

At this time, along the coast of Beppu Bay in Hayami County, Bungo Country, on the field road leading to Otomo's house in Luming Koshijo, an important town in Hayami County.A group of Luo's family army that stretched for half a mile was marching.

Along the way, there are paddy fields formed by the alluvial mountain streams on the west side of Beppu Beach.On the west side, among the mountains and forests that are still full of primitive forests, there are actually a lot of fertile land hidden, and there is even a large grassland.According to the records of later generations, there was a large herd of wild horses on that grassland.If in the future, Su Jianjun is completely mastered.Zhengliang is going to develop the fields and pastures in the forest.The field will become the new village settlement of the Luo family.The grassland will become the second ranch owned by the Luo family after Hizen Kunino Alpine Ranch.

After two years of continuous invasion by the Luo family, the plains that used to belong to the granary in the territory of Dayou's family have been abandoned due to the war, and the fertile paddy fields have been covered with weeds.In the vicinity of these paddy fields, the remains of several houses and even a collapsed archway can be seen faintly, which are the remains of the guardian shrine.During the war, these local farmers were not robbed by the Luo family and settled in the territory of the Luo family.It was moved to Guodong County by Otomo's family.

The ashigaru soldiers wearing the armor modified by the Luo family's weapon workshop were marching. They stepped on the puddles on the road, making the straw sandals muddy.This army, whether it was the ashigaru soldiers or the cavalry warriors, had the flags of the Luo family on their backs, advancing silently.

The setting sun slanted through the treetops, except for the chirping of birds and cicadas, the surrounding area was extremely silent.

Wearing a Luo's armor, Zhengliang rode his horse across the ditch. Right now, his main formation is joining forces with Oishi Tomohisa's fifth army to march towards Bungo Hayami County controlled by Otomo's family.

"Europe!"

While walking, there was a loud eagle cry in the sky.When Zheng Liang heard this, he immediately stopped the Nanman war horse "Lightning" under him.Then look up to the sky.In the clear sky, a black spot was rapidly shooting towards Zheng Liang's direction.As the distance gets closer.The black dot eventually evolved into a Costin that was gliding in the sky.

Since it was the six-way army attacking this time, in order to keep abreast of the progress of the various armies, in addition to using sea and land channels to communicate with the various armies, this time Zhengliang also used two Costin, and used them to establish a team in the air. Set of aerial intelligence networks.

"Papa..." Hai Dongqing flapped her powerful wings and landed slowly over the crowd, and finally landed on Zhengliang's shoulder.Zheng Liang untied a letter bag from Hai Dongqing's feet, and then asked his attendants to take out some specially prepared dried meat and threw it to Hai Dongqing to feed. Then he opened the letter bag and took I read the letter inside.

This letter was sent by Kinoshita Masunao this morning through this sea dongqing after Kinoshita Masunao took over the castle and discussed with Takahashi Shaoyun the resettlement countermeasures for the refugees.

"Good!" After reading Kinoshita Masunao's letter, Masahiro seemed quite happy, "The third army of our family has captured Ichinoto Castle in Shimo County of Bungzen Kingdom yesterday."

"Wow!" After hearing the news suddenly, everyone around Zheng Liang started talking.Among these people, Tachibana Dosetsu, Shiroi Chobo, Hato Takashi, Aikage Takashi, Sagara Taketo, and Lengizumi Takatoyo were the most surprised.From Zhengliang's words just now, they got two pieces of information in an instant.One is that this time the Luo family attacked the hostile areas of Bungzen and Bungo at the same time (for the sake of confidentiality, only some important officials in the family knew about the fact that several armies attacked at the same time); the second was the progress of the Luo family's attack this time Quite smoothly, and has taken the lead in taking down a walled city.

"Report, my lord, the information that has just arrived." Just as everyone was discussing, another cloaked member hurried to Zhengliang's horse with a letter.Zheng Liang took the letter, then tore it open and read it.

After reading it, Zhengliang thought for a while, and immediately asked Masahiro Isano, "How far is it to Luming Yuecheng from now on to Otomo's house?"

"Report to my lord, there is still less than a day's journey away, but there are still two fortresses built by Otomo's family on the way." Yuanchang Isano reported immediately.

"Okay, if that's the case, then immediately order the fifth army of the former army to speed up and try to take these two fortresses today. Tomorrow I will surround Luming Yuecheng. Remember, on the way forward, the momentum must be huge One point, let the other party know that our army is coming." Zheng Liang then sent an order.

This time, for the strategy of the southeastern part of the Bungzen Kingdom and the northeastern part of Bungogo, Zhengliang adopted a strategy of imaginary and real, and real but false.The specific method is to let the first, fourth, and fifth armies invade with great fanfare to attract the enemy's attention. If the enemy's blocking force is found to be too strong, they will not fight the opponent to the death and adopt bluffing and delaying tactics. , to delay the enemy's main force at the border; if it is found that the enemy's blocking force is limited, then incarnate as a real attack, directly take down the opponent's border, and then drive straight in.

In short, these armies are not only the main force for the actual attack, but also the bait to attract the main force of the enemy under the guise of invasion.In this way, the second and sixth armies attacking from the sea, which are mobile to carry out landing operations, will implement a landing attack plan on the enemy's coast.After all, Zheng Liang is from a later generation. With the Luo family's navy already controlling the enemy's coastal waters, it is impossible for Zheng Liang not to take advantage of this advantage.So when studying how to implement this strategy, Zheng Liang immediately thought of the landing and sneak attack operations that were not commonly used in this era.

And the letter just sent is the letter sent by the sixth army. In the letter, Takekichi Murakami and Echigo Mamoru Wakabayashi have reported to Zheng Liang that their army has successfully landed and sneaked into Fengyun. The coast of Kunisaki County controlled by the Gokuni Otomo family.

Why can they appear in the enemy's Guodong County?This started one night before the third army marched out to Ichinoto Castle.

That one was an evening when the sun was about to set.On the coast at the junction of Beppu Bay and Iyo Bay along the coast of Kunisaki County, Bungo Country, several figures are hiding among the rocks along the coast.

"How is it? Do you see the shadow of the boat?" A man who looked about 30 years old asked.This person is exactly Ari who was ordered to lead someone to sneak into the territory of Otomo's house in Bungo country in advance.

Since the Sugi family's navy, the largest naval force in the Bungo Kingdom, was collected by Tao Longfang, the navy of the wealthy families in the Bungo Kingdom lost the protection of the Sugi family's navy, and during this period, they were all captured by the Luo family's water army one by one. The army was cleared.The coastal areas of Bungo Country and Bungzen Country have almost become the situation where the Luo family's navy dominates.Ahri was ordered to enter Guodong County this time, to prepare for the Luo family's landing operation in Guodong County in advance.

Tonight, according to the previous agreement, it is the day when Ari and others are here to meet the landing of the army of the family.
