Warring States Eagle

In Kadogawa Castle, the gateway to the central part of Kyushu Hyuga, Ito Yuki, Ito Yufan and others finally decided to abandon the castle and retreat after some discussions.

As for the placement of Ito Youan's body, after a lot of controversy, Ito Yuki personally intervened for Ito Youan (it can be understood as cutting off the head), and Ito Youan's head was temporarily found with lime. After some disposal, it was placed in a valuable wooden box, and Ito Youan's body was temporarily buried on a hidden hill in a forest near Kadokawa Castle.

Standing in this tomb, you can see the whole picture of Kadogawa Castle. Maybe Ito Yuki and others think that they don't want Ito Youan to sleep here alone, but they can see Kadogawa Castle.However, soon this tomb will see Kadokawa City fall into the hands of the Luo family's army. This is definitely bad news for the dead Ito Youan. If he can crawl, he will definitely come out of the tomb. crawl out.

After burying Ito Youan, Ito Yuki and others held the wooden box containing Ito Youan's head and immediately led the army to leave Kadogawa Castle.However, the actions of Ito Yuki and others made Saeki Yuichi, who was also running for his life ahead, feel nervous.

After all, taking food from the opponent's city without saying a word, and then leaving alone will definitely make the opponent dissatisfied.Moreover, I am in the %wan%book%bar% .nsb.m situation of relying on others. In this way, Yuimao Saeki really doesn't know how the Ito family in Kadogawa City will treat them?Therefore, Saeki Yuichi has been sending people to monitor the changes in Kadokawa Castle from the rear. As a result, he was a little panicked when he learned that a large group of people suddenly appeared in Kadokawa Castle from the vassal who rushed to the front on horseback to report to him. . "Quicken your pace!" In desperation, Yuichi Saeki had no choice but to order his army to speed up the pace of escape.The more than [-] people under his command are the basis for his father and son to gain a foothold on the Yidong family's territory.So even now.Saeki Yuichi still didn't give up his idea of ​​being under his command.

quickly.Saeki Yoshinao's troops came to the vicinity of Sanin Castle, the important minister of the Ito family, Mira Shigeno, who had just escaped from Matsuo Castle and returned to Sanin Castle, when he learned that there was an army passing through his territory, he also hurriedly brought it down. To the side of the nearby road ready to meet.

After that night's fierce battle with the Luo family's siege army in Matsuo Castle, Mi Liang's straight arm was also shot by an arrow, but after a desperate fight, he finally escaped from the city, and then without the help of the general Ito Youan. Allowed, he fled back to Shanyin City overnight, and now such an army suddenly appeared.He was really a little worried that it was Ito Youan who found out that he had escaped and then Qiu Hou settled the score.

"I didn't expect that after the defense of Matsuo Castle, Ito-sama would still be thinking about me, and he would come so fast." In order to prevent being settled by Qiuhou, besides speeding up the mobilization of farmers and soldiers in the city, Mi Liangzhongzhi also sent people He rushed back to Ogawakan in the home city of Mi Liang's family urgently with his request for help to seek help from Mi Liang Shigeji, who was the important minister of the Ito family.It seems a bit late now.Just like that, Mi Liang waited for Saeki Yuichi's arrival with trepidation, but to his great surprise, the other party apparently had no intention of meeting him, and just sent a retainer to come and have a brief chat with him. call.Then he led his subordinates and whizzed past like a gust of wind.

"How is this going?"

Mi Liangzhong, who didn't understand what was going on at all, sat on the tatami and touched his head directly after returning to Sanyin City.But it didn't take long for him to think about it.Ito Yuki's brigade has entered his territory again.

"Is something wrong ahead?"

Mi Liangzhong finally came to his senses at this moment.Previously, in his eyes, although Matsuo City was captured, but relying on the Aiyan Village to the south of Matsuo City and the gate door Chuan City, the family can completely resist the invasion of the Luo family, but two groups of people passed through his territory in a row, And this time passing through his territory was Ito Yuki's men who just took control of Kadogawa Castle yesterday, no matter how stupid he was, he still found that something was wrong.

So Mi Liangzhi led the troops out of the city immediately, this time he didn't intend to stand on the side of the road to avoid people coming, instead he found Yuki Ito directly.Fortunately, it seems that Yuki Ito actually told Shigeo Mira all the situation because of his relationship with the same camp.Of course, after finishing speaking, Ito Yuki neither asked Mi Liang Shige to follow him to retreat, nor did he let Mi Liang Shige stay in Sanyin City, ready to meet the Luo family's army that was chasing from behind, but left directly .

Seeing Ito Yuki's soldiers passing by him constantly, Mira Shigenao was really a little dumbfounded.Unexpectedly, he only left for a day, not only the main general Ito Yuan died, but even Aiyanzhai fell, and even Kadogawa Castle was abandoned by Ito Yuki.

"This?" Mi Liang Zhongzhi was really a little confused, but he seemed to think of something immediately, and even exclaimed: "No."

Why would he exclaim?That's when he finally realized that after Ito Yuki gave up Kadogawa Castle, the next target of the Luo family's chasing army could only be his own Sanyin Castle.Originally, he thought that there were strongholds such as Aiyan Village and Menchuan City in the north to resist, and as his own city in the rear, nothing would happen, but now he saw that he was about to be attacked by the Luo family's army.

The most depressing thing is that his Shanyin City is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and only the east facing the sea leads to the outside.Under such circumstances, as long as the Luo family left behind a team to block their way out, they would be able to completely surround themselves.

"No." Thinking of this, Mi Liang Zhongzhi yelled again, and then rode directly back to Shanyin City, and then gave the order to evacuate.Since Yoshizuo Saeki, Yuki Ito and others have retreated in front of them, even if they retreat, they will not be blamed much in the future.As for your own territory?Even his life seems to be gone, and there are still scruples about the gains and losses of the territory.

So, shortly after Ito Yuki's army passed by, Mi Liang Shigenao led hundreds of clansmen and retreated with the valuables in the city.At this time, Kosaka Masanobu had just met with Li Huamei who had captured the empty city of Kadokawa in advance.

"Is that so?"

Even Kosaka Masanobu was surprised when he learned that the defenders of Kadokawa Castle had abandoned the city and fled, and that Li Huamei's navy had just taken over an empty city.

"My lords, my family's detectives reported that the defenders in the Sanyin City of the Ito family seem to be packing up their supplies, and they seem to have a tendency to abandon the city and flee." Just when Kosaka Masanobu and Li Huamei were still surprised, they were in charge of riding The detectives who were investigating the situation ahead of time sent back an urgent report.

"Oh?" After hearing the news, Kosaka Masanobu and Li Huamei immediately looked at each other.Immediately, both of them seemed to understand the meaning in each other's eyes.

"Hehe!" After a chuckle, Masanobu Kosaka said directly, "If that's the case, then I'll just follow behind the other party and see what else we can gain. What do you think?"

"That's right." Li Huamei immediately agreed.Last night, Kosaka Masanobu and Li Huamei discussed the way that Li Huamei's naval army would use the swiftness of the waterway to block the enemy's route of retreat in advance, and then Kosaka Masanobu's army, which arrived later by land, would join forces to attack the opponent back and forth, thus defeating the opponent.But now that the enemy army is willing to give up the city wall so wisely, why not slowly follow behind the enemy army and force the enemy army to give up more city walls and territories?

Anyway, thanks to the support of Li Huamei's navy, as long as they capture the fortresses and territories along the way, Li Huamei's fleet will quickly dispatch troop carriers back to Matsuo City (transportation by water will be faster than by land) , will arrive there one after another, from the Higo country (via the mountain road of Zhongshan Castle) and the Bungo country (transported from the coast of the Bungo country via the navy that Li Huamei left in Matsuo Castle) to receive.These personnel include the Luo family's retainers from the Luo family's intelligence cabinet, military cabinet, and cabinet, as well as farmers and soldiers temporarily recruited from various places.

With the help of these people, Masanobu Gaosaka and Li Huamei's army only need to be responsible for capturing the fortresses and territories, and the rest of the reception and logistics support can be taken over by these personnel who arrived later.Anyway, with the truthful registration of the troops accompanying the army, their military exploits and post-war rewards for capturing the city and territory will not be reduced.Even if you die in battle, military merits and rewards will be counted as part of the pension and handed over to the standing family members.

Now that we have such stable logistical support, we should just continue to attack and try our best to capture as many territories and cities as possible.Thinking of this, Kosaka Masanobu and Li Huamei looked at each other again and smiled heartily, and immediately left a small number of people waiting for the arrival of the reception personnel, and then led their respective armies to continue the pursuit.

As a result, under the different performances of all parties, a strange scene appeared on the central plain of the Kyushu Hyuga Country's Ito family territory.In the front, the army of the Ito family and the Saeki family was divided into three unconnected army formations, the front, middle and rear, and they were fleeing rapidly, while behind them, the Luo family's army of water and land was chasing. .

And just as all parties were playing a strange pursuit game on the land of Hyuga Country, Zhengliang who was in Bungo Country finally received a report about the situation of Matsuo Castle from Li Huamei's navy sent back.

"The overall situation has been decided." After reading the report, I learned that not only Matsuo Castle had been captured, but also that the various logistics personnel and support troops prepared by the family were about to be in place (in fact, when Zheng Liang received this report, people such as Li Huamei And all support from the Higo country has arrived at Matsuo Castle).The Southern Kyushu battle that he had started more than half a year ago finally entered the time to start closing the net.

(I wish everyone a happy Lantern Festival.)
