Warring States Eagle

In late February of the second year of Yonglu, under the leadership of Zheng Liang, an army of more than [-] members of the Luo family advanced by land and water, and rushed towards the Meimuli City of the Zueki family.

In terms of land, the Luo family's army officially marched from Kuriyama Castle in the northern part of Haibu County, Bungo Country, and marched along the coast. In the south, Chi Jian stood at the foot of the mountain, facing the Meimuli city on the opposite Meimuli mountain.

At the same time, the navy led by Li Huamei also marched out from Beppu Bay, Bungo Country, and entered Saiki Bay aggressively. The Saiki Bay to the east of the city was instantly dominated by the Luo family's navy, with nearly [-] warships covering the sky and cruising in the surrounding waters.

On the second day when the Luo family's land and water troops set up camp, more than [-] reinforcements led by Xiyuan Temple's adopted son Xiyuan Temple Gongguang finally arrived by boat (his navy was also incorporated into the Luo family at the same time. family water army), safely landed on the coast east of Meimuli City, and successfully joined the Luo family's camp army.

After Xiyuan Temple Gongguang arrived at the Luo family's camp, he immediately asked Luo Shi Zhengliang to see him, and completely handed over the command of the Xiyuan Temple family's army to Luo Shi Zhengliang.

In fact, Xiyuanji Gongguang had some objections to the order given to him by his father Xiyuanji before departure.Although the Xitusi family and the Luo family are allies, and the strength of the Luo family is at its peak at this time, but even so, the Xitusi family does not need to hand over the most important military control to the other party?

You know, the army of more than [-] people is the lifeblood of the Xitu temple family.In order to make up these more than [-] people.The father gritted his teeth and spent all his money on the general mobilization of the territory.Although due to the invasion of the Northern Yiyu area by the Luo family.As a result, the biggest enemies of the Xitusi family, the Kono family, the Yiyu Utsunomiya family, and the Ohno family were all threatened by the Luo family on land and sea to varying degrees.As a result, he couldn't be distracted from targeting the Xitusi family.As for the family that has always been south of the main family, because the family is an ally of the Luo family, they took the initiative to show their favor to the main family, which greatly improved the situation around the main family.

But after all, these two thousand people are the main force in the family's territory. Once they are severely damaged in this attack, the strength of the family will be seriously affected, and even the Kono family, the Yiyu Utsunomiya family, and the others will be attacked. The invasion of the Ohno family.

It is really hard for Xiyuan Temple Gongguang to understand this, and recently Xiyuan Temple Gongguang also found out that since the last time the family's old Tuju Qingzong was sent by his father to the Luo family, he brought back a letter written by Luo Shi Zhengliang, the governor of the Luo family. After the written secret letter.The mood of his father, Xiyuan Temple, suddenly became better, and he even held several banquets recently.His father's recent strange changes naturally made Xiyuan Temple Gongguang deeply disturbed.

Zhengliang naturally did not know about Xiyuan Temple's concerns, but according to the previous agreement in the letter, this time Xiyuan Temple must send reinforcements to support it.In fact, at the current stage, it is temporarily impossible for Xiyuan Temple to fully surrender to the Luo family, but when the Luo family captures the last half of Haibu County in the Bungo Kingdom.They even sent troops directly into Hyuga Country and Southern Kyushu, making Luo's family the only daimyo across the sea from Xiyuanji's family in the west.Then Xiyuan Temple Shishou will give in, and it may even make the Xiyuan Temple family become the first external daimyo of the Luo family.

In fact, with the continuous development of the Luo family and the continuous advancement of the wheel of historical time, at this stage, in Zheng Liang's view, the Luo family's foreign policy should have changed.In the past, because the Luo family was weak and implemented a system that was different from this historical era, the Luo family had to ensure that all voices in their territory were consistent, so that almost every step of expansion meant that they were sworn enemies with those local famous and wealthy families. .

Now, after more than ten years of development and expansion, the Luo family has established a sufficiently wide and solid base in Kyushu and Western countries, which already has the guarantee of self-protection.Then, if the Luo family continues to implement the strategy of fighting to the death with the local wealthy daimyo every time they go to a new site, the expansion of the Luo family will not be affected, but the speed of expansion will be greatly delayed.

However, the wheel of history will not wait for the Luo family anymore, and now is an important historical turning point in the entire Warring States period. If Zhengliang hopes to take advantage of this moment to make the Luo family leave a strong mark in the annals of history, then Avoid being delayed by the forces around you.As a result, the Luo family naturally needed more allies and more helpers, and the Xitusi family was one of the helpers that Zheng Liang had appointed.This time's attack on Southern Kyushu is exactly the first step for Zheng Liang to win this helper.

Just when the Luo family army received the reinforcements from Xitu Temple, the Shimadzu family and the Saeki family's allied defense forces in Meimuli City were in a panic.Since the army of the Luo family crossed the mountains and entered the territory of Umemori Castle, Shinna Tadamoto of the Shimadzu family and Mamaka Saeki of the Saeki family immediately withdrew the defenders outside the city into the city, and then Standing still, waiting for the opportunity to attack on the one hand, and waiting for the arrival of reinforcements from the rear on the other hand.

In fact, it was not that Xinna Zhongyuan and Saeki Zhenzhong were unwilling to take the initiative to fight against the Luo family's army. In fact, their strength was too small compared to the number of Luo's family's army.

Ever since the Luo family destroyed the Otomo family, occupied most of the Bungo country, and even pointed at the remaining half of Nankaibu County, the Saiki family has been attacked and harassed by the Luo family.First, the few naval forces with limited strength were attacked one after another by the Luo family's navy until they were finally destroyed by the Luo family.Then, after gaining control of the coastal waters of the Saeki family's territory, the Roche family began to harass the Saeki family's territory from the coast.During this period, the Saeki family also united with the Ito family's navy in the Hyuga country in the south, trying to drive the Luo family's navy out, but even the Ito family's navy was defeated by the Ro's family's navy several times, so the Saeki family also only I can endure the constant harassment from the Luo family alone.

Over the past few years, after being constantly harassed by the Luo family from the land and along the coast, the farmers outside Meimuli city were either plundered by the Luo family or moved away by the Saiki family, so at this time the outside of Meimuli city is a wilderness. Due to the limited strength of the defending army, even if the land is reclaimed by the army, it will be destroyed by the harassing army of the Luo family. From then on, Meimuli City has become a complete military stronghold.It's just that, because there are no farmers, the number of defenders in the city is even less.Under such circumstances, how can the defenders in the city dare to go out of the city to fight against Luo's family?
