Warring States Eagle

In the early morning of October [-], the first year of Hongzhi.

After a night of continuous raids, whether it was the Ashgaru Squad or the Navy Squad, the troops of the Luo family were a little tired.So they all postponed the attack by coincidence, and stepped up to strengthen the control of the newly occupied area after taking a short rest.

At the same time, the second-line troops of the Luo family, who received the news from the detectives of the family in time, also began to board the ship from the coast of Bungzen Country Zhou Fangtan. The navy squadron was tasked with defending the newly occupied territory, and assisted the personnel from various institutions of the Roche family, such as the Cabinet and the Roche Academy, who arrived at the same time as them, to start taking over the territory.

At this time, the prisoners of the Maori family navy who were starving on a small island in the Seto Inland Sea are about to be freed from hunger and poverty. Under escort, they went to the area occupied by the Luo family in Anyi Country and were guarded. They became the first batch of slaves of the Luo family in the area and were responsible for building marching avenues for the Luo family.It can be said that once the war starts, the Luo family's military and internal affairs systems will automatically operate.

Compared with the Ashigaru Squad and the Navy Squad that launched the blitzkrieg strategy overnight, the second standing navy Squad that Kunatsu was in first escorted the Fifth Standing Ashigaru Squad of nearly 5000 people who were executive and commanded. After landing on the coast of Saeki County, Aki Country, they quickly rushed to meet Masara's fleet that had arrived in the waters around Itsukushima overnight, and then sealed off the waters around Itsukushima, not allowing even a small boat to pass by. .Immediately, Zheng Liang and the others spent the night on the boat.Both passes were well rested as a result.

Although the guards of the Maori family on the coast of Itsukushima also found ships with torches on the distant waters.But because the Luo family's ship did not approach.And they don't have a ship to send people to confirm.It was dark again at night, and they all thought that their navy had returned, so they didn't pay much attention to it.It turned out that in the early morning, when the Luo family's navy officially began to approach the coast of Yandao, they discovered that all of these ships were flying the big eagle flag with black stripes on a white background.

"Ah? The Luo family's navy is here!" In an instant, the news of the Luo's family's attack quickly spread throughout Yandao.

In order to scare the terrified Maori coalition soldiers, Zheng Liang even deliberately asked Li Huamei to drive the boat close to Yandao, and fired several shells at the camp set up by the Maori coalition on the seaside of Yandao.Immediately, there was a commotion among the Maori coalition soldiers in the camp crying for their father and mother.

Then Masaragi sent a boat to patrol along the coast of Itsukushima, during which time the soldiers with loud voices specially selected on the boat began to shout towards the island.The content of its shouting mainly includes:

One is to tell everyone on the island that all the Tao family's navy has surrendered to the Luo family, while the Maoli family's navy has been wiped out by the Luo family's navy.In order to prove this information to the people on the island, not only did some flags of the Maori United Water Army hang on the propaganda boats, but some ships captured from the Maori United Water Army also served as patrol boats. There will also be some captives of the Maori sailors loudly "telling themselves" on the boat to persuade the Maori coalition forces on the island to surrender.

at the same time.The boats of the Tao family's water army that surrendered to the Luo family will also fly their own flags and follow the patrol propaganda team of the Luo's family's water army.Play the role of persuasion.

The second is to tell everyone on the island that they were treated by Mao Liyuan as scapegoats to restrain the Luo family.After Mao Liyuan learned of the arrival of the Luo family's navy, not only did he not notify the people on the island, but he also deliberately left them to contain the Luo family, while he himself escaped by boat overnight.

The third is to encourage the broken Taoist soldiers who hid in the mountains and forests on the island to spontaneously organize to resist the Maori allied forces, and to gather at the Itsukushima Shrine. After surrendering to the Luo family there, they will receive support from the Luo family.As for the Maori family coalition forces, if they choose to surrender to the Luo family at this time and submit to the Luo family, the Luo family will forget the past.

The fourth is to let Ouchi Yoshitaka and others show their faces and persuade the Tao family in those islands to surrender.

For most of the day, the ships of the Luo family's navy surrounded Yandao and divided into dozens of patrol teams, shouting continuously along the coast.And these contents also spread rapidly in the island.

The first to be impacted is naturally the coalition forces left by the Maori family on the island, especially those local small local tyrants and servants who are basically not well-known in the Anyi Kingdom, Bingo Kingdom, and Beizhong. Under the call of the family, basically the whole family was mobilized (but including the family governor, there were at most a dozen people at most).These people are not fools. After the Luo family's navy made some publicity, they thought about it for a while, and immediately realized that something was wrong.

And what's more serious is that they discovered that the governors and important vassals of the aristocratic families who were not well-known in their local area were all picked up by Mao Liyuan last night, but they, the lowest forces in the aristocratic class, were taken away by Mao Liyuan last night. stayed.If it is true as what the Luo family's navy said, once they are destroyed on Yan Island, their family's territory will be annexed by the more powerful local families that Mao Liyuan took away.

This is really not only serving as a scapegoat for the Maori family, but also sending fat to those powerful local families.They were naturally not reconciled to such an ending, so they immediately became the first group of forces to break away from the Maori family coalition and surrender to the Luo family.

At this time, among the Maori family coalition forces on Yan Island, the biggest force is actually those low-level soldiers and retainers such as the directly subordinate servants of the Maori family and the well-known wealthy families in various places.The people of these forces are naturally not fools, and after a little deduction, they basically confirmed that what the Luo family said was probably true.So this camp immediately split.

Some of the noble clan's retainers and warriors who were originally loyal to their own family governor, even after learning that they were abandoned by their lord, still chose to fight to the end and resolutely refused to surrender to the Luo family.But some other people don't think so, especially those low-level ashigaru farmers and soldiers.After all, people are selfish. After being besieged by the Luo family on Yandao and abandoned by their lord, they would naturally not be so stupid as to sacrifice their lives for their lord. The Luo family surrendered. As for those who were unwilling to surrender, they became the "certificate of surrender" to the Luo family for those who were willing to surrender under the instigation of the Luo family's patrol fleet.

However, the momentary split and even infighting of the Maori coalition forces gave the Tao family on the island a chance to breathe.Especially Hongzhong Longbao and his son, who had been besieged in Kuulin, the last position of Tao Jun in Itsukushima.They took the opportunity to break out from the encirclement and fled into the mountains.At this time, Hongzhong Longbao and his son still held the hope of finding Tao Longfang in their hearts.

So where is Tao Longfang now?

It turns out that after the defeat, he went to several places where there might be fleets, trying to find ships and flee back to Zhou Fangguo's Tao Longfang, but finally found that no ships were found. In order to avoid pursuing soldiers, he immediately hid in the depths of Yandao in the mountains.At this time, he was still traveling through the mountains and mountains with the few remaining subordinates.

While Tao Longfang was still hiding everywhere, in the afternoon of that day, as people from the Maoli family and the Tao family came to the shore to surrender to the Luo family, Zheng Liang also quickly got two pieces of information.

The first message is that Mao Liyuan ran away overnight after finding something wrong last night.There was nothing Zhengliang could do about Mao Liyuan's escape. After all, people who are good at strategy are basically very vigilant and cautious, and they are very good at analyzing information. They are really cunning.

But Zheng Liang did not give up on the pursuit of Mao Liyuan and others. He immediately sent people to convey orders to the various teams that were attacking Anyi Country. On the one hand, he informed them that Mao Liyuan also fled back to Anyi Country overnight On the shore, let them be careful not to fall into Mao Liyuan's tricks; on the other hand, let them set up checkpoints in the newly occupied area to hunt down Mao Liyuan and others.

And the second message is that Tao Longfang should not be dead yet, after all, Mao Liyuan was still sending people to search for Tao Longfang before he left.

Zhengliang naturally didn't know Tao Longfang's whereabouts at this time. Although he probably knew the history, he only knew that Tao Longfang died on Itsukushima in this battle.Although it looks like Yanshima is just a small island on the map, in fact, it is a large island with valley forests in most parts of the island. If you want to find a place like this in a short time People, is it really not an easy thing?

But even so, Zhengliang still issued a reward order to the many forces of the Maori family and the Tao family on the island.That is, whoever can find Tao Longfang first can directly become the direct vassal of the Luo family.

This reward order immediately set off a huge wave on the island.Why is there such a huge reaction?

Because for those servants and warriors of the powerful clan who were abandoned by their lord at this time, even if they have the opportunity to return home in the future, and they don't care about the past suspicions of being abandoned by the lord, after all, there is already a rift between the monarch and his ministers. Basically, these people will not have any chance of being reused at home in the future, and they may even be eradicated by the main family.But now, as long as they can find Tao Longfang, then they can get a direct minister of the Luo family, which is simply a good thing like a pie in the sky.

You know, the Luo family is now the well-deserved super overlord of Xikaido (that is, the Kyushu area)!To be the direct vassal of such an overlord, wouldn't it be delicious?Such a sweet pastry, how can people not be tempted by them? (To be continued..)
