Warring States Eagle

Astronomical 23 years ([-]), February.The cold winter is about to leave, and the rare sun finally came out today.

Seemingly tempted by the warm sunshine, Zheng Liang also came to the courtyard of Luming Yuecheng City Lord's mansion.

"I want to take a walk in the yard, so you don't have to follow me." Zheng Liang left the guards holding daggers behind him in front of the porch, and walked alone through the budding wintersweet bushes to a sunny place in the south.

Since the end of last year, the Luo family has made great progress in the strategy of the northeastern part of Bungo country and the southeastern part of Bungzen country.

In the Buzen country, the first army of Yamamoto Kansuke and Yoshida Shigemasa used cooking directly in front of Hachiya Castle of the Yamada family in Shangmo County as a bait, completely shaking the determination of the defenders in Hachiya Castle.Most of the defenders in the city were local refugees temporarily recruited by the Yamada family. Although these refugees received a little food from the Yamada family because of defending the city, they survived the famine.However, the food that the Yamada family can provide is really limited, and it is impossible to completely ensure that the whole family of these refugees can satisfy their hunger.Now the Luo family's army is not only eating fish and meat outside the city, but even yelling for them to surrender, claiming that the Luo family will therefore give their family enough food to survive this winter.

Although the refugees defending the city did not surrender because of this, they deliberately avoided the battle when the Luo family was attacking the city with all their strength, and even turned back and joined the ranks of the Luo family's army when the Luo family had the upper hand.As a result, the battle of the eight-house cage city, which had been fought fiercely for more than a month, finally ended with the deepening of winter.Not only did they attack Hachiya City.Moreover, the first army of more than [-] temporary farmers and soldiers was temporarily recruited.Immediately, an army was sent to surround Yamada Castle, the home of the Yamada family.On the one hand, a part of the army was separated and began to march towards the adjacent Takazaki Castle in Shimo County.

Not long after, the third army, which also recruited more than [-] refugees as temporary farmers and soldiers through food relief, also dispatched part of the army to the outside of Tiantorizaki City.

The third army was the first to launch an offensive against the Bungzen Kingdom. After taking down the Ichinoto castle of the Nonaka family, Kinoshita Masao and others immediately gathered thousands of refugees in the area on the condition of food relief. Take control.Then the third army was divided into two groups, one route surrounded Changyan City, the residence of Ye Zhong's family, and the other route launched a fierce attack on Baimi City, another city of Ye Zhong's family.After several rounds of fierce fighting.The third army finally took down Baimi City, and the guard general of Baimi City, Ye Yi Jianxing, and others also died in the fierce battle.Immediately, this part of the army pointed its finger at the nearby Takazaki Castle.

Akao Kenzue, who was the garrison general of Tatorizaki Castle, faced the two armies of the Luo family, and was immediately scared into hiding in the city, not daring to fight.Then he received the news that the main city of his family, Dragon King City, had been captured by the Luo family, and the governor of the family, Anxinyuan, had just been killed.So he carried out the strategy of shrinking and defending the city to the end.

At this time, after conquering Dragon King City, Qingshan City, and Sunrise City in succession, the second and fourth army armies were divided into two again. The Fifth Route Army continued to exert pressure on Dayoujiajiaowei City to the east.On the other hand, the fourth army where Kakukuma Ishimune and Aguda belonged was fighting along Qingshan Castle and Miaojianyue Castle all the way to Shizhi Castle.

It also coincided with the unlucky Tokieda Takayoshi of Zhicheng at that time. After receiving a request for help from Otomo's family in the neighboring Buzen Kingdom, he was lured by the food provided by Otomo's family.Tokie Ryuling actually led a part of the defenders in Shizhi City to go to support Otomo's Jiaowei City.As a result, they received news that Dragon King City had been captured when they were halfway through.Shocked, Tokie Takarui immediately led his army back.

However, due to the rapid march in the mountain road, they were negligent.Was assassinated by Kato Duanzo and others.Since the failure to assassinate Otomo Yoshijin last time, Kato Duanzo and others have been hiding in the nearby mountains and forests, waiting for new assassination opportunities.It's a pity that Otomo Yoshizhen has indeed taken strict precautions, so that Kato Duanzang and others have never been able to find a new assassination opportunity.Just at this moment, Takahiro Tokieda appeared.After learning the relevant information about Takahiro Tokieda, Danzo Kato immediately launched an assassination operation specifically targeting Takahiro Tokieda.After a sudden fierce battle, poor Takahiro Tokieda was shot by a black eagle's iron cannon and died tragically.

Due to the tragic death of the main general Takashi Shizhi, the defenders of Shizhi City who were unable to hunt down the murderer had to return to Shizhi City in a hurry.And at this time, the fourth army that Kakukuma Ishimune and Aguda belonged to also just arrived.After several fierce battles, Shizhi City was finally captured by the Luo family due to the lack of commanding generals in the city.

With the fall of Tokie Castle, Tatorizaki Castle faced enemies on three occasions, and at this time the clan Usa Omiya Shi family was exterminated again, so after some weighing, the guard of Tatorizaki Castle Akao Kenzue simply Kaesong surrendered to the Luo family.

So, after February 23 of Tianwen, only the Yamada Castle of the Yamada family in Shangmo County and the Changyan Castle of the Nonaka family in Xiamo County are still fighting in the entire southeastern region of Buzen Kingdom, and the rest of the area is all Included in the territory of the Luo family.

After Tiannizaki City surrendered, the first and third armies returned to Yamada Castle of the Yamada family in Shangmo County and Changyan Castle of the Nonaka family in Xiamo County, and merged with the other part of the troops surrounding the two cities, each with their full strength. The two cities attacked, while the fourth army was assisting the second-line farmers and soldiers of the Luo family and the cabinet retainers who came later to take over the local territory, and on the other hand began to march towards Takada Castle of the Yoshizuru family on the border of the Bungzen Kingdom.

As for the Bungo Kingdom, since the end of last year when Otomota's Bei family's Sunrise Castle and Otomo's temporary residence city Luming Yuecheng were captured respectively, Zheng Liang led an army to attack another Otomo family's fortress, Jiaowei City.It's just that the defenders of Jiaowei City were also very tenacious, and they withstood several rounds of attacks from the Luo family.Then Otomo Yoshin also led reinforcements from the Yoshizuru family and the Takeda Tsu family to arrive.

Seeing that Jiaowei City has turned into a hard bone like the original Luming Yuecheng, Zheng Liang decisively changed the active siege strategy to the siege strategy in order to avoid causing major damage again.For a moment, Jiaowei City, which was besieged, seemed to be besieged on all sides.

After the second army united with Sunrise City surrounded Jiaowei City, Zhengliang immediately dispatched a large army to attack the nearby Kifuki family and Naiduo who were still resisting.

It was the Sixth Army of Murakami Takeshi who was in charge of attacking Mufujia and Naijia before. However, since this army is mainly based on standing naval forces, these standing reserves are more suitable for water warfare. For frontal siege warfare Not very good at it, so after capturing the Tahara family and the Fulai family, this army was more responsible for attacking the Kifuke family and the Nai family, and restraining the forces of these two families in the local area to prevent them from being attacked by the Luo family. When attacking Luming Yuecheng, he went out to rescue Luming Yuecheng.Now that Zhengliang's army is free, it's time to deal with them. (To be continued..)
