Dinghai Pier.

The former Central Army Corps Feng Haohan's Central Army garrison has now become Ishikawa Taki's temporary command post.

"What did you just say?" Ishikawa Taki suddenly stood up, his face full of disbelief.

The messenger in front subconsciously shrank his neck.

"Back to the general, General Uesaki reported that the troops he led encountered a large and well-organized enemy force before they left Huayang County. At this time, the enemy and we were fighting fiercely on the Huajiu Post Road, and both sides suffered heavy casualties."

Ishikawa Taki couldn't help but look up at the post road leading to Jiuyuan County.

"Who is the other party?"

"Is it Mo Canghai's northern garrison?"

After saying this, Ishikawa Taki shook his head.

Uesaki is one of his capable men, and there is no doubt about his personal ability.

Last year, when Zhang Yang led his team to station at Dinghai Pier, the entire team was almost disabled.

Even if Yun Chui has more people and is more powerful, he can replenish his troops very quickly.

However, after all, time was short. No matter how powerful Mo Canghai was, it would be extremely valuable to be able to make those new recruits well-trained.

Not to mention being able to stop Uesaki, and even fight evenly between the two sides.

The most important thing is that Mo Canghai still has to guard the coastline of Jiuyuan County. In theory, there is no way to spare anyone.

"Back to the general, the opponent's general's flag is not Mo or Zhang, but Huang."

After saying that, the little messenger handed over the sample of the enemy general's flag traced back from the front line.

Ishikawa Taki took a closer look and saw that it was indeed a yellow letter.

After regaining consciousness, his expression became even more serious.

"Is it Huang Ming's Northern Conquest Army?"

The ordering soldier nodded, "Back to General, according to the estimates of General Uesaki and a group of military advisors, the opponent is ninety-eight percent from the Northern Army."

Ishikawa Taki took a breath.

He raised his head suddenly and stared at Tamaki County at the top of the map.

To be precise, it is focused on Beihai Customs.

"General," a military advisor came over with a complex expression, "If it is really Huang Ming's Northern Expeditionary Army that is blocking General Uesaki, it means that they were already on their way south a long time ago and did not participate in the attack on Beichuan at all."

Speaking of this, the little military advisor's voice was a little angry.

"This stupid Wei Junqian is really arrogant and bold."

Everyone in the conference room, including Ishikawa Taki, couldn't help but twitching their lips when they heard this.

Although Wei Junqian is arrogant, he does have the qualifications.

Even though the Northern Expedition Army did not participate in the attack, the Starfall Army still captured the Beihai Pass and captured Masato Nei.

Although they were unhappy, now that the facts were in front of them, they had to accept it.

"What about the south?"

Ishikawa Taki no longer paid attention to the north, but looked to the south of Pinghai County.

"Back to the general, General Sajima on the southern front originally wanted to find a suitable defensive location to camp on the post road, but he was also violently blocked."

Ishikawa Taki was not surprised and said in a deep voice: "Which general of the East China Sea Barrier is the opponent?"

"Back to the general, according to the spies' report, the leading generals of the other side should be Lu Yulong and Zhong Lifu."

"Nonsense!" Before Ishikawa Taki could say anything, a military advisor stood up angrily.

It's okay to say that Zhong Lifu is just an ordinary general of the East China Sea Barrier.

But Lu Yulong is different. He is the one who suffers from them.

Many people in the conference room had dealt with him at sea, and they hardly made any profit, but lost a lot of people and ships.

When they heard this name, many people felt itchy with hatred.

"Shouldn't Lu Yulong be outside Sulan now? How come he appears in the south of Huayang County?"

The messenger lowered his head and said nothing.

He is only responsible for delivering the message. As for the content of the message, it is up to the generals to figure out and judge by themselves. It is none of his business.

"General," a military advisor said with a solemn expression, "If Sajima's news is correct, then our current situation may be extremely serious."

Ishikawa Taki nodded slightly, feeling even more sad. The reason why he dared to attack Huayang County with all his strength without leaving any retreat was because the central army was difficult to use and the East China Sea Barrier was in chaos.

Now that Feng Haohan had guessed correctly, he seemed to have guessed Lu Fuhai wrong.

Ishikawa Taki stared at the location where Lu Yulong appeared on the map.

If Lu Yulong, who was guarding the sea outside Sulan, has really arrived, it means that the East China Sea barrier has been firmly in the hands of Lu Fuhai during this period, and the fleets under his command are advancing and retreating in an orderly manner and cooperating properly...

Not only the sea outside Sulan, but also the Sishan Islands may have been completely wiped out.

The more Ishikawa Taki thought about it, the colder his heart became.

"Come here, give me the general's orders."

His eyes fell coldly on the sea outside Jiuyuan County.

There is the fleet he left behind when he turned from the North Sea to Huayang County.

"Order Fujita to attack Jiuyuan County at all costs."

Not only must Mo Canghai's troops be held back, but it would also be best to absorb part of Huang Ming's troops to reduce the offensive pressure on Qiu on the northern line.

"Yes!"

"Except for Uesaki and Sajima, everyone else should not go north or south. Immediately send your troops to the west and seize Huayang City as soon as possible."

"understand!"

The news about Ishikawa Taki spread quickly.

Under the urging of the vanguard, countless Japanese pirate soldiers took up their weapons and hurried westward, regardless of the food they had just grabbed.

----

Luzuo River, east bank.

Lin Daxiong and his children and grandchildren had just repelled another wave of enemies, and they were all so tired that their hands were shaking.

Seeing that the enemy did not continue to attack, they quickly dismounted to rest and eat more.

"Grandpa," Dai Pucun came to him at some point and asked with concern, "Are you feeling well?"

"Why don't you just sit on the horse and chop down a few Japanese?" Lin Daxiong tore apart the leg of lamb in his hand and said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Your grandfather has a strong body and won't get in the way."

Dai Pucun didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he nodded and said, "That's good."

After speaking, he lowered his voice.

"Grandpa, do you feel that the Japanese pirates... seem to be crazy?"

Not only are there more and more people attacking, but the frequency is also getting faster and faster.

If the opponent hadn't come in a hurry, didn't have many long-range weapons in their hands, and were afraid of the power of the cavalry, they would have been unable to withstand it long ago.

Lin Daxiong stopped talking and took a deep look at his grandson.

"What do you want to say?"

Dai Puyu and Dai Pucun, as soon as you look at their names, you can tell that they are either brothers or cousins.

Lin Daxiong's eyes suddenly turned cold, "Are you scared or do you want to imitate your brother?"

After saying that, he reached out his hand directly to the big knife beside him.

It looked like Dai Pucun would just chop him with a knife if he dared to nod.

cough cough.

Dai Pucun was so frightened by his bloodthirsty gaze that he couldn't help but coughed twice.

"Grandpa, my grandson may have been a bit of a bastard in the past, but he was by no means a shameless person like Dai Puyu who knew how to run away."

"I just think that Ishikawa Taki's side may have known about their crisis, and they will probably urge their subordinates to attack the post road at our feet with all their strength."

Lin Daxiong was stunned for a moment, then his eyes softened.

He let go of the weapon in his hand, turned his head and looked at the post road to the east, and then patted the grass beside him.

"There's still some time, let's sit down and chat."

"Thank you, grandpa." Dai Pucun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down beside him.

"You are thinking the same thing as me." Lin Daxiong smiled, "But this is a good thing."

The harder the Japanese pirates pressed, the crazier they beat, which showed that the situation on Ishikawa Taki's side became worse.

As long as they work hard for a while, the situation in Huayang County may change greatly.
