Warring States Eagle

Saeki Yuikao and Saeki Zhenchu ​​finally decided to stick to Urojo Castle, regardless of the series of actions of the Luo family, and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the Ito family and the Shimadzu family before discussing.

However, not long after the two of them discussed their decision, the Luo family made another move.Originally, when the Luo family's army robbed the population and supplies of the Saeki family's territory before, it was done quietly. As a result, the Luo's family's actions soon became blatant.

Every day, Saeki Yoshio received urgent calls for help from all over the territory, but Saeki Yoshio knew at this time, the more calm he had to be at this time, he must not lose his position, so that the Luo family could take advantage of it opportunity.With limited troops defending the city, he really didn't dare to send troops to attack easily to stop the opponent's looting on his territory.Otherwise, once the ambush, under the attack of the Luo family's tens of thousands of troops, the Yicheng, which was not as strong and towering as Meimuli City, would be in danger of falling.

Moreover, he did not dare to call all the leaders of the surrounding villages outside the city to the city, because the previous fire had burned most of the food stored in the city, and the remaining food could even support the current army in the city for a month *top* point *The time of the novel is not enough, if the general citizens in the territory outside the city are also called into the city, not only will it not be able to assist the defense of the city, but it will also consume more food, and in the end it will not wait for the Luo family to come After attacking the city, the city was in chaos due to the lack of food.

Is it okay to just not protect the citizens?This is of course impossible.After all, most of the relatives of the defenders in the city are in the territory outside the city.After the Luo family began to plunder the local population continuously, rumors began to spread in the city, although Saeki Yuikao began to investigate thoroughly for this.But still can't find the person who spread the rumors.It only temporarily suppressed the wavering of the defenders.

It's just that Luo's family doesn't intend to let Saeki Yoshio go.After confirming that the Saiki family did not dare to send troops out of the city, the Luo family's army unexpectedly escorted the looted population, materials and property, and swaggered past the vicinity of the city.The cries of the looted people immediately caused the defenders in the city to rush to the city wall.After discovering that their relatives were among the plundered population ranks, many defenders even rushed to the city gate, trying to rescue them, but were stopped by the relatives of the Saeki family who were in charge of guarding the city.

"Child Luo, you are bullying me too much!" Yuiki Saeki, who came over after hearing the news, was furious.Immediately decided to open the door and attack the city.Being so humiliated by the Luo family, where is his prestige?The morale of the army in the city will also be greatly shaken.

"My lord, wait a minute." Seeing this, Saeki Zhenchu ​​immediately stopped him.

"Huh?" Yuiki Saeki looked at Zhenzhong Saeki with his eyes spitting fire.

"Brother, please look at the woods near where the other party is."

After hearing the words, Saeki Yoshiyo immediately turned around and looked in the direction pointed by Saeki Shintada, only to see that there seemed to be many birds flying around in panic in that forest.

"There is actually a fraud?" Seeing this scene, any fool would know that there must be an ambush army in that forest. Obviously, the Luo family planned to use the opportunity of escorting the leaders of the Saiki family outside the city to lure the army of the Saiki family to attack, so as to carry out the attack. Ambush plan.Think here.Saeki Yuikao couldn't help sweating, and his irritable mood immediately calmed down.Immediately ordered to revoke the order to go out of the city to attack.

As a result, those guarding soldiers whose relatives were outside the city immediately became unwilling. For this reason, Saeki Yoshio had no choice but to temporarily put these people under house arrest to avoid more troubles, but the military spirit of the guarding soldiers of the Saeki family It was because of this that he was shaken, and many rumors that were finally subdued before began to circulate among the soldiers.In this regard, Saeki Yoshikado was also at a loss what to do.

"Hmph, as expected, the other party is really still huddled in the city and not going out of the city." Just when Yoshizuo Saeki was having a headache, two generals of the Luo family were standing on the top of a hill outside the city. There, looking at the old castle of the Saiki family, one of them suddenly said with a sneer.

"My lord has always predicted things like a god!" The other person responded calmly. This person was none other than Shigemasa Yoshida, the elder of the Luo family.

After another glance at the city gate, which was used for the city without any movement, Yoshida Shigemasa said again: "Since the other party does not leave the city, then follow the second plan ordered by the Lord. Remember, before the reinforcements from Hyuga Kingdom arrive , You can’t leave a person, a grain, or a board on the territory of the Saeki family. If you can take it away, you will take it away;

"Okay, I know all about it, and then we'll see who does it better, haha!" Asakura Sodi, who was beside him who spoke at the beginning, responded.Immediately, the two of them took another look at the city gate that was used to keep the city tightly closed, then turned around and walked down the hillside.In the ravine below the hillside, the Luo family's army of nearly 2000 people was quietly resting there...

This time, on the one hand, Zhengliang tried his best to arrange solid fortifications on the terrain he selected early in the morning, and prepared to use this place as a basis to deal with the Saeki family and the upcoming Ito family and Shimadzu family's three-party coalition forces. , is to adopt a strategy of clearing the field against the Saiki family, so that when the opponent is dealing with the Luo family, they cannot get enough support locally, and everything can only be transported continuously from the rear.

Of course, in order to successfully clear the territory of the Saiki family, the first thing to do is to let the army in the city of Saiki obediently stay in the city and not come out to block it.In the beginning, in order to achieve his goal, Zheng Liang planned to fight the opponent hard first, so as to scare the opponent directly.But if the opponent just hides in the city and does not attack, this method will not work. Instead, the army of the family will be restrained and used in the city. At that time, as soon as the reinforcements of the Ito family and the Shimadzu family arrive from the rear, the Luo family's army will be forced to attack. Into a situation where the enemy is under attack.

Therefore, after thinking over and over and analyzing the information about the Saeki family and its governor, Saeki Yoshiyoshi, Zhengliang decided to take the strategy of being suspicious after approaching the city, and directly stationed at a selected location, and He began to build fortifications, and made a gesture of preparing for a long-term battle with the Saeki family in the local area. At the same time, he also dispatched the scouts and other cavalry around him, secretly bypassed the city and entered the back of the Saeki house, and began to rob the opponent's population and supplies.Anyway, it is to make a look that is ready to attack but not ready to attack.

So why did Zhengliang do this?
