Warring States Eagle

It's a trick of fate, if the Luo family's fleet had passed by a moment earlier, or if Tao Longfang had cut his seppuku a moment later, then Tao Longfang would not have died.Of course, if we were to pursue it the most, if Tao Longfang hadn't been hiding in the deep mountains and dense forests these days, he would have known the news that Luo's family had entered Yandao, and he wouldn't have ended up in such a fate.

On the night of October [-], Tao Longfang's body was delivered to Zhengliang's ship.Seeing Tao Longfang's unwilling face, Zheng Liang couldn't help but sigh.Even with the intervention of the Luo family, this famous general known as the "Peerless General of the Western Kingdom" in history could not escape the fate of death in the end.It can be said that it is time and fate!

At this time, it was already the third day since the start of the Itsukushima bloody battle, and time waited for no one. At this time, the escaped Mao Liyuan might have fled back to the city to prepare to raise troops to resist the Luo family's invasion of Ayi country.So Zhengliang must hurry up and start implementing his plan.So, that night, Zheng Liang spread the news of Tao Longfang's suicide to Yandao.

As the news of Tao Longfang's death spread, the last belief that supported the hearts of everyone in the Tao family also collapsed.In addition, Ouchi Yoshitaka and other former Ouchi family retainers took the opportunity to replace the Luo family to surrender at this time, so starting on October [-]th, a large number of Tao family routs headed by Hongzhong Longbao came from the mountains and forests. He came out and began to surrender to the Luo family.

As for the many Maori forces who were still on the sidelines before, under the general trend, they also came to surrender.In just one day, almost all the Maoris coalition forces and Tao family coalition forces that were fighting against each other on Yan Island surrendered to the Luo family.And those forces that had decided to resist the Luo family to the end were also destroyed by the other forces in these two days as a vote against the Luo family.

October 3th.The two armies that surrendered were under the command of the Luo family.Started collecting the corpses of the two main armies from various parts of Itsukushima.In the end, there were more than [-] pieces in total.In the melee of more than [-] people, there were only less than [-] left in the end, and the Tao family army suffered the most losses, with only a few thousand people left.Historically, due to the rapid victory of the Maori family and timely persuasion to surrender, in fact, only a few thousand people died in the First World War in Itsukushima (some say more than [-] people, some say more than [-] people, anyway, there are different opinions ).The rest of the Tao family army basically surrendered to the Maori family.But this time, because of the temporary intervention of the Luo family, not only was the time for surrendering delayed, but also Zheng Liang deliberately indulged the fight between the Tao family army and the Maori family army, which caused such a large number of casualties.

Such a large number of troops killed in battle and captured in an instant had a great impact on Nagato, Zhoufang, Anyi, Bingo, and Bichu in Sanyo Road.With the loss of so many samurai soldiers, these areas suddenly seemed a little empty.

On October [-]th, on the shore of Itsukushima, a large number of corpses were densely lined up on the beach. The blood of the dead poured into the sand and sea water, and actually encroached on a large area of ​​the coast.A terrifying tide of blood surged in front of Itsukushima Shrine.After cleaning the corpses, everyone buried them on Yandao Island.A few years later, the woods where the corpses were buried quickly grew into a tall and dense forest. Every year at the beginning of October at night, it is said that the local people would always hear a burst of cries from time to time in the dense forest. Voices……

As for Tao Longfang's body, at the request of many retainers of the Tao family, Zheng Liang ordered his people to dress it up and place it in a coffin, and planned to send it back to the Tao family's ancestral grave for a grand burial in the near future.At this time, people such as Igaga Minbu, Kakini Sado Mamoru, Yamazaki Kanjieyu, Hongzhong Takaba and his son all had the idea of ​​dying for Tao Longfang. After learning the news, Zhengliang immediately summoned these people Get up, and then only say one sentence to them: "Do you want to avenge Tao Longfang?"

Just such a sentence completely dispelled these people's will to die, and at the same time added an elite group of Luo's family who would be as brave as chicken blood in the face of the Maori family's army.

And just as Zheng Liang was winning over the hearts of the Tao family army, the various Luo family armies that were attacking various places in Anyi also made gratifying progress.Since there is generally no need to guard against the invasion of foreign enemies in the areas south of Yamashiro in Yoshida County, this time when Maori Yuan went to Yandao, he almost took away all the military forces in the territories of the Hao clan in these areas. The various armies of the family came to such a blitzkrieg, so the invasion of the Luo family seemed a bit destructive.

The executive species and commander of the Fifth Standing Ashgaru Division has completely captured the Saeki County of Aki Country, and handed over the local defense and reception work to the second-line agricultural and soldier troops of the Roche family and the Roche family who arrived later. agencies.After leaving a part of the army to garrison the border with Zhou Fangguo in the west, the executive commander and commander of the remaining army of the [-]th Standing Ashgaru Division quickly rushed to Shatian County in Ayi Kingdom to assist the Second Standing Army there. The Qingfan team completely won Shatian County.

The first standing ashigaru team led by Masao Kinoshita also completely captured the Numata County and Takamiya County of Aki Country at this time, and handed over the local defense and reception work to the second-line farmers and soldiers of the Luo family who arrived later. The army and various institutions of the Luo family.

Since the area where the army is located is the most likely area where Mori Motoji and others escaped, Kinoshita Masao is sending troops to the adjacent Shanxian County and Takada County (the two counties are the Yoshikawa family and the Mori home town. In addition to forming an imminent attack on the two armies, additional manpower was also sent to set up a large number of checkpoints in the already occupied area in an attempt to intercept Mao Liyuan and others.

As for the second standing Ashgaru team led by Shigemasa Yoshida, after a fierce battle yesterday, they just captured the Amano Iesuki Castle and the Saizaki Castle, which made Amano, who had just stepped into his own territory, solemnly In addition to grief, the others had to flee into the mountains immediately, preparing to flee to Yamashiro, Yoshida County's Maori home town, through the mountain trail.They firmly believe that as long as the family can calm down this time, they will take back their territory sooner or later.

After taking over the territory of the Amano family, the two counties of Numata and Kamo in Anyi Country basically fell into the hands of the Luo family.After handing over the local defense and receiving work to the second-line agricultural and military units of the Luo family and various institutions of the Luo family, Yoshida Shigemasa immediately led the second standing ashigaru team to kill the Kobayakawa family and the Mori family directly under them. Sha Tin County.

As long as Shatian County is taken down, not only can one arm of the Maori family's Liangchuan system be broken, but also open the door to enter Bingo country. (To be continued..)
