Warring States Eagle

When Zhengliang received the news that Tao Longfang had been tricked by Mao Li Yuanjiu and wiped out the Jiangliang clan on his left arm and right arm, he had already led the army to Luming Yuecheng, the gate of Dayou's family in Sujian County. under the city.

During the march of the army, they encountered Oishi Castle and Koya Castle successively. These two castles were temporarily built by Otomo's family along the coast of Beppu Bay in the past two years. They were used as small castles for early warning. Therefore, under the crowd tactics of the Luo family, the two fortresses were quickly taken down.Afterwards, the army finally arrived at the foot of Luming Yuecheng.

Luming Yuecheng is located at the junction of Bungo Country, Hayami County and Kunisaki County. Since its northwest is surrounded by mountains, its southwest is facing the mountainous area under the castle of Hayami County, and the southeast line of defense is the sea of ​​Beppu Bay. To the northeast is the flat land leading to Guodong County, so it has always been an important town under the direct control of the Dayou family, and now it is even more important for the Dayou family to fight against the Luo family.The city wall is not only strong, but also has a large amount of supplies inside, which can fully cope with the battle with the Luo family.

After Otomogi Town inherited the position of family governor, Otomogi Town even chose this city as his residence in order to express his confidence in returning to the old land of Bungo to the Otomo family retainers.This time, it was when he learned that Otomo Yoshijin, who was the governor of the family, was inspecting the territory of the Yoshizuru family in Kunisaki County to appease the local nobles, that Masarai suddenly came to this place.In Zhengliang's view, without the governor's seat, the city's combat effectiveness would definitely be affected.But after carrying out the siege battle, Zheng Liang discovered that his judgment was wrong.

"kill……"

On the top of the city of Luming Yuecheng, there was a loud shout, followed by a cracking sound piercing the air.The front end of the white katana pierced and pulled out as if something had been stirred up.How did an originally fresh life disappear from this world.In the next moment, the young man with the white sword in his hand galloped in another direction.This person is Tian Bei Zhenzhou, the fierce general of Dayou's family.

Tianbei Zhenzhou no longer knew how many siege ashigaru of the Luo family he had killed, but he could see the price of killing the enemy from his original brand-new sword, because it had appeared several times at this time. Although he has used the tip of the knife very carefully to kill the enemy, it is inevitable that there will be no accidents.

"Haha, good kill!" Usuki Kanhasu, who was sitting in the rear as the commander of the city defense, laughed and said.Seeing such bravery, the soldiers of the Luo family who climbed up the city wall cried like ghosts and howled like wolves.The surrounding soldiers of Otomo's family were even more greatly encouraged, and they howled and rushed towards the besieging enemy. Usuki Kansuki was naturally very happy.

The siege soldiers of the Luo family who had suffered a great blow were already distracted and had no fighting spirit. They did not have an advantage in numbers above the city, and the defenders were so strong, how could they continue to fight?

"Order the siege troops to retreat." After seeing the situation on the top of the city of Luming Yuecheng in the main formation outside the city, Zheng Liang knew that this time the siege ended in failure again.

This is already the tenth day that Zhengliang's army has continuously attacked the city.When he first marched towards Luming Yuecheng, Zhengliang received the news that Kinoshita Masahiro's third army had attacked Ichinoto Castle; then, when he led the army to attack Luming Yuecheng, Murakami Takeshi The Sixth Route Army where he was located took the opportunity to attack the territories of Tian Yuan's family and Fu Lai's family;When Zhengliang commanded the army to continue to cross the city, he also learned that the first army was attacking Shangmao County in Fengqian Kingdom.The Fourth Route Army had already besieged the Dragon King City of Usa Omiya Si's family in Fengzen Kingdom.

At this time, Zheng Liang also realized that the siege of Luming Yuecheng might not be so easy this time.In order to resist the Luo family's attack, Usuki Kamsu and Tianbei Zhenzhou, who were left behind, not only blocked the gate of Luming Yuecheng with sand and stones, but also raised a large amount of money by demolishing houses in the city. Defending weapons such as wood, stones, bricks and tiles.More importantly, at this time, in Luming Yuecheng, a large number of more than 600 soldiers, the most elite of the Otomo family, were assembled.

During these ten days, even if the Luo family used siege weapons such as ladders, iron cannons, large cylinders, flying fire meteors and even gunpowder packs at the same time, they only captured the outer pill of Luming Yuecheng, and the second pill of Luming Yuecheng. The city wall of Naomaru is steeper and taller, making it more difficult for the Luo family's army to conquer.However, due to the limitation of the narrow terrain, the Luo family was unable to take advantage of the number of people. Instead, the city defenders were able to concentrate their forces for defense. Therefore, this time the siege battle was almost a life-for-life war.

And as time goes on, it seems that it will enter deep winter.However, the deep winter season is very unsuitable for combat. Not only will more military supplies be consumed for this, but also during combat, soldiers are also prone to further frostbite due to injuries, which in turn causes more damage.It is estimated that Usuki Jiansu and Tianbei Zhenzhou in Luming Yuecheng hope to delay the time as much as possible, so that the Luo family's army will voluntarily withdraw due to the winter cold.

But Usuki Kansu and Tianbei Zhenzhou underestimated Masara's determination to win the southeastern part of Bungzen and the northeastern part of Bungo this time.Long before his departure, Zheng Liang had the Cabinet prepare a large amount of winter supplies.Among these materials, especially the cotton clothes newly made by Luo's Home Textile Workshop attracted the most attention.With the guarantee of these materials, Zheng Liang believed that the Luo family's army would definitely be able to survive this winter during the battle.Of course, he still hopes to make progress in this strategy as soon as possible. After all, after seeing the news of Xiguo, Zheng Liang has realized that the opportunity for the Luo family to develop rapidly again is coming.

Just when Zhengliang was a little anxious, Otomogi Town, which is far away in Takata City on the coast of Shufangtan, Kunitsu County, Bungo Country, was also a little anxious.After receiving the news in Takata City that the Luo family's army had invaded Sujian County, Dayou Yizhen realized that the sudden appearance of the Luo family during the drought this time might be different from the previous harassment.So he immediately issued an order to the rich families of Otomo's family to go to support Sujian County, and at the same time began to rush to Luming Yuecheng in Sujian County.

What he didn't expect was that shortly after leaving Gaotian City, when his team was climbing the mountain road from Gaotian City to Jiaowei City, they were attacked by a large force of unknown troops.Fortunately, Otomo Yoshizhen had been vigilant enough after Ouchi's house was attacked, and had enough guards around him, so this time he was able to escape back to Takata City.

In order to ensure his safety thereafter, he had to wait there for the reinforcements from the Yoshizuru family and the nearby Takeda Tsu family to support Sumi County before rushing to Luming Yuecheng in Sumi County under their escort.Such a delay made him anxious. (To be continued..)
