Warring States Eagle

The winter of the first year of Hongzhi was a dry one.Since it has not rained or snowed for several days, the weeds and trees on the side of the road look listless.

And the team of Tangwangmaru, Mihime and others who officially set off from the castle town of Xuefucheng gradually became quiet from the excitement at the beginning.For them, this kind of long-distance march is already very familiar.Because whether it is Tang Wangmaru and his attendants, or Miki's women's guards, they will participate in the regular reserve training of the Hizen Kunino Takayama Recruitment Battalion at least three times a year, and one of the trainings is in the territory of the Luo family. Long-distance march training across the borders of two countries or even three countries.Therefore, they did a very good job in the distribution of supplies, camp building, and security during the march this time.

Everyone's skillful marching performance amazed both Sen Kecheng and Shengxiu, who were traveling with them for the first time.You know, both of them are ready to be "nanny" for this time.After seeing everyone's performance now, I felt much more relieved about this trip, and was also deeply shocked by the Luo family's training and education methods for the next generation.

On the night after everyone set off, Mihime's letter left in the boudoir was discovered by her mother Matsumiko, so Tang Wangmaru, Mihime and others left home to go to Chikuzen country to participate in the suppression of the rebellion. Immediately fell into a chaotic chaos.But at this time, the only person who can call the shots in Xuefu City is Xingsuke who is the acting city lord.At the request of Masaragi's many wives and concubines (one of them was his sister), Xingsuke had no choice but to send several groups of people to chase after him in an attempt to invite Tang Wangmaru, Miki and others back to Xuefu City.

But because Zheng Liang was not at home for a long time.And these wives and concubines of his usually dote on Tang Wangwan, Meiji and others too much.It has long caused Tang Wangwan, Meiji and others to have a somewhat lawless character.In the entire Xuefu City, almost only Zhengliang, Dongxiang Heiji and others could suppress these guys, but at this time, it happened that Zhengliang and others were not there.Therefore, all the people sent by Xingsuke failed.

In desperation, Zhengliang's wives and concubines had no choice but to send people to Zhou Fangguo to inform Zhengliang who was fighting there, and at the same time notify the local agencies in the territory that Tang Wangwan, Miji and others passed along the way to pay attention to protect Tang Wangwan, Meiji and others For their safety, they even asked them to send the local peasants and soldiers they had already recruited to escort Tangwangmaru, Miki and others.

Therefore, when Tangwangmaru, Mihime and others finally arrived at Munakata County of the Chikuzen Kingdom where the rebellion occurred, the number of their team had increased to more than [-] people.

Chikuzen Junior High School at this time.The areas where the riots occurred were mainly concentrated in the eastern part of the Chikuzen Kingdom, which was directly under the Munakata family, the Aso family, the Akizuki family, and the Ouchi family. It was occupied by the Luo family a long time ago, and it has already experienced a temple and shrine power riot and was quelled. The western part of the Chikuzen country is very stable at this time.

In Munakata County, the person in charge of receiving Tang Wangmaru, Mihime and others was the head of the local cabinet, Zhanbu Shangan.At the beginning, because he was too rigid, when the Luo family's army attacked Mongxiang County, he blocked Zhengliang's army from the west gate of Mongxiang County, and almost brought disaster to his family.Fortunately, his brother-in-law Tachibana Daoxue and his son-in-law Zhanbu Shangchi decisively forced him to step down, and took the initiative to surrender in Kaesong.Only then did a catastrophe be avoided.Afterwards, in order to avoid being held accountable by the Luo family.Zhanbu Shang'an, who was deposed from the position of family governor by his son-in-law and retainers, also wisely chose to live in seclusion.

After a thorough raid on the eastern part of the Chikuzen Kingdom, in order to quickly take over the local territory, the Ozabu family not only kept the local territory in Munakata County, but also the Ozabu family who had just succeeded the family governor as the standing deputy general of the Luo family, and Zhanbu Shang'an was also invited out again to serve as the head of the local cabinet in Munakata County.

Although the riot this time has nothing to do with him directly, after all, there was a riot within its jurisdiction, and it was more or less responsible for it. Therefore, during this period of time, Zhanbu Shang'an has been using its own influence in the local area , In addition to trying his best to persuade the temple and shrine forces participating in the riots, he also assisted the Luo family military pavilion to attack the riot forces.

However, after receiving the task of receiving the young master and princess of the family's daimyo who came to suppress the rebellion, Zhanbu Shang'an almost didn't secretly scold the Luo family's direct retainers in the Military Pavilion to death.In his opinion, these young lords and princesses are just here to join in the fun, and they can't make things happen at all.

Of course, even if he thought this way, for the sake of his family, he had no choice but to do a good job of the reception work honestly.But what surprised him was that the young master who didn't seem to have Yuanfu not only refused the invitation to rest in his family village, but also invited several local people including him to build a military camp outside the village. Officials went to the barracks.

What surprised Zhanbu Shang'an even more was that the young master did not immediately yell at them to go out to suppress the rebellion immediately, but instead asked them about the local rebellion situation in detail.In the end, he even took the initiative to propose to them that since this time his entourage is the first time to fight, he hopes to choose an easier-to-handle rebel force to attack first.

After this conversation, the local officials including Zhanbu Shang'an immediately looked at the young master of the clan differently.At such a young age, not only is he not at all youthful, frivolous, and ambitious, but he calmly analyzes and formulates strategies based on facts, which has to be admired.

In fact, Zhanbu Shang'an and the others didn't know that, since he had been studying with Zheng Liang since he was a child, and since he became sensible, Tang Wang Wan participated in every evaluation meeting in Xuefu City, so he was very concerned about his father. He has already learned ten percent of the way of doing things and principles.In addition, after every major battle of the Luo family, there will be a series of post-war analysis meetings attended by all the vassals in the Luo family, and he has attended every single one.Finally, during the training of the Ye Gaoshan Reserve Training Camp, which is held regularly every year, there are also combat exercises that simulate reality. In this kind of exercise, he put into practice what he has mastered, which is why he has become what he is today. Performance.

After confirming the location of the position, the next day.Take Tang Wangwan as the general.Three local officials including Zhanbu Shang'an followed the army.Mihime, Nohime and others were the deputy generals, with a total of more than [-] troops, and began to march towards a nearby area called Sutada.At the same time, several local groups of Ping Ding troops from various places began to march to other nearby areas.

The people went all the way, and found that many farmlands and houses along the way were destroyed, and from time to time, they saw the bodies of some local residents.

"I didn't expect that those mobs would be so cruel. They wouldn't even spare ordinary citizens." Tang Wangwan couldn't help but be angry when he saw such a scene for the first time.

"My young master doesn't know that it was the forces of several local temples and shrines who incited the people to riot. They used their monks, soldiers and gods as the main force to attract some local believers and formed a huge mob force. Young master When you meet them, please pay attention to your own safety." Zhanbu Shang'an next to him reminded carefully.Compared with those mobs, he is more concerned about the safety of the young master at this time, otherwise, once the young master has troubles.My own head is about to move, and the family will also be implicated as a result.

"Hmph. These deceitful temples and shrines, it's hard for my father to suspend the policy of confiscating the territories of temples and shrines in these areas in order to appease these areas, but it still led to their rebellion. It is really damnable." In addition to Masaragi's influence, Tang Wangmaru also hated these temple and shrine forces that were not controlled by the Luo family.

"Young master, as far as I know, it seems that a group of suspicious people secretly told these temples and shrines that our family was about to confiscate their territories, which finally led to their riots." Zhanbu Shang'an reported.

"Hmph, the intelligence bureau of our family will naturally investigate this matter. What we have to do now is to put down the riot as soon as possible, so as not to affect my father's strategy in the Xiguo region." Tang Wanwan said.His serious expression made people automatically ignore his age of not yet 15 years old.

Speaking of which, for everyone including Tangwangmaru, Mihime, and Nohime this time, it was the first real first battle in their lives.And it was an initial battle completely under his own control.

"Report, a large number of mobs were found in the village ahead!" At this moment, the detective in charge of the investigation came back on a fast horse to report.

"Set up the formation, move forward slowly." Tang Wanwan ordered immediately.At a young age, he showed his mature side at this time.And not long after Tang Wanwan gave the order, a large group of mobs poured out in front of them. Depending on the situation, there were at least more than 100 people.

"Young master, the twenty or so monks wearing monk robes at the front are monk soldiers from the nearby Yuantong Temple, and the leading monk at the head is Huijing monk from Yuantong Temple. Those behind them should be local believers. "After seeing the person clearly, Shang'an, who followed the army and followed the Zhanbu, immediately introduced.

"Send the order, set up the formation on the spot to meet!" Tang Wanwan gave the order again after learning about the other party's situation.

"Report, Her Royal Highness Princess Meiji on the left side requested to be the first mover." At this time, Cheng Fu Mao'an, who was acting as a temporary messenger, came to report.At this time, Meiji was also quite savvy, knowing that on this occasion, she had to show herself and not hurt her younger brother's prestige.

"Yes, but they can only shoot from a distance, not melee." Tang Wanwan, who knew that even if he refused sister Meiji's request at this time, would be rejected by her sister later, could only agree.But this time, when starting out, Tang Wanwan divided the army of more than [-] people into three formations: left, center and right.Among them, the main general of the left team is her sister Meiji, and the main force is the women's guard under her command.In order to strengthen the characteristics of this formation, he concentrated almost all the archers in the left formation.At this time, it is also very reasonable to order his left team to attack first.

In the middle formation, Tang Wanwan was the main general, his attendants and some warriors were the main force.On the right, the retainers of the Zhanbu family are the main generals, and the main combat force under their command is temporarily recruited farmers and soldiers.

"Get off your horse and get ready to shoot!" After receiving Tang Wanwan's order, Meiji on the left side shouted softly.

"Brush!" The women's guards, who were originally riding on the horses, jumped off the horses in a uniform order.Such a beautiful movement immediately caught the eyes of everyone around him.Especially those warriors, peasants and soldiers who were temporarily dispatched to the left.Originally, they felt that being led by a woman and fighting with a group of women was very shameful.If it weren't for Her Royal Highness Princess who knew that the general was daimyo, they would have gone back to the other two formations.Seeing such a situation now, the perception of the local area has changed a lot.

The mobs who were running over quickly on the other side were even more happy when they saw this situation.The leader, Hui Jing, laughed and said, "Did you see? They are gone, and now even the women have to be dispatched. Everyone, take them down. Those women, weapons and other things belong to you."

"Aw, ow, ow..." At this time, the female guards wearing red helmets, red leather armor, and red cloaks are indeed very conspicuous. In addition, they are all women. For those mobs, It was undoubtedly a good hormone catalyst, so they immediately howled like wolves.

Seeing such a scene, the standing staff in the women's guard became a little nervous, including Nohime, Takahashi Mi, Sagara Chiyoju and others.The emotions are fairly normal, only Yuanjiu and Miki are left.

"Don't be afraid, just treat them as the bastards we usually kill in training." Meiji, who found that the emotions of the women's guards who were entering the battle for the first time, were a little unstable, immediately shouted loudly.

The bastards that Meiji refers to here refer to those prisoners who were convicted of treason for violating the territorial laws or the hostile forces who were captured by the rebel clan.In the boot camp, in order to let the recruits see blood and increase their courage to fight on the battlefield, these prisoners or captives will become their training tools.Therefore, in the hands of Tang Wanwan, Miji and others, they actually took several such lives with their own hands.Although this is a bit cruel, this is the Warring States Era after all. In order to quickly train qualified soldiers on the battlefield and prevent them from becoming cumbersome and cannon fodder on the battlefield, this is a must.And for them, it is completely different before they have killed someone and before they have killed someone.Sure enough, after Maggie's reminder, everyone in the women's guard immediately calmed down.

"Everyone, draw your bows and get ready!" Seeing that everyone in the female guards finally calmed down, Meiji ordered immediately.

"Arrow!" At this moment, the mob was less than 30 meters away from the front of the Luo family.

"Aim!" The mob team entered within a range of 20 meters.

"Shooting!" (To be continued...)
