With the appearance of Jiujo Sharo on the front line, the morale of the shogunate army gradually recovered, relying on the favorable terrain to firmly defend the Jiujo array.
Inazuma's war machine also began to run at full capacity, a large number of recruits were recruited into the army, and supplies were spent like water.
Faced with such a situation, Hiiragi Shinsuke could only bite the bullet and accept the hint of Ayato Shenli, and proposed to borrow 100 billion moras from Liyuetu Kaixing Bank for the purchase of supplies.
At this time, Beidou, who was transporting goods for Liben Department Store, just arrived at the outlying island again, and was hit head-on by this long-term large order that fell from the sky.
Happily, she pulled a lot of men from the boat, grabbed Niwa and gave him a hard drink.
Just when Niwa was being fed dizzy, a word from sailor Hai Long caught his attention.
"Speaking of which, I didn't expect that there would be other fleets besides our Southern Cross fleet in Daozuma..."
Niwa grabbed his hand and asked like a cannonball: "Is there any other fleet? How many ships are there? Which country?"
Hai Long was taken aback by him, and it took him a long time to recall: "The flag of Zhidong Kingdom is flying, and there are not many ships, only more than 30. But I saw them drive directly into the military port of Tianling Pursuit!"
Chapter 107
In the wooden leak tea room, Thomas was waving a feather duster, humming a song and sweeping the dust happily, but saw Niwa rushing in hastily.
"Mr. Niwa? You are..."
Niwa grabbed him tightly, "Thomas, is the head of Kamisato here?"
"Ah? He went to the execution office..."
"It doesn't matter, you accompany me to the study, and help me find out the official documents of the Sanfeng and the secret reports of the last few days!"
After more than 20 days of cooperation, Ayato Shenli and Niwa have formed a preliminary mutual trust.
As long as there is no conflict of interest, the two old silver coins are very happy to cooperate, and they can often understand each other's thinking with a few words.
Ayato Kamisato also began to bring some secret documents that could be shown to Niwa to the Mule tea room, including the secret report of the last episode that he had screened by himself.
Seeing Niwa's serious face, Thomas hurriedly led him into the secret study room, and found the latest secret report for him.
Soon, Niwa found the information he wanted, spread those secret reports on the table, and fell into deep thought.
"Tianling pursues the battle report: General Jiutiao Shaluo relies on the defense line from Tatara to Jiutiao Zhenwu to resist steadily, which greatly delays the attack of the rebel army. He plans to retreat to the Jiutiao Zhenwu's main position in five days."
"Tianling pursues the battle report: the delay battle is basically successful, with nearly a thousand casualties, and the enemy's losses are roughly equal."
"Tianling pursues information: the main force of the rebel army, more than [-] people, has all advanced to Tadasha."
"Tianling pursues a statistical report: the statistics of soldiers lost and seized materials at the beginning of the war..."
"The final secret report: It was discovered that Ying Sijin was in frequent contact with foolish diplomats..."
"The final secret report: It is discovered that Ying Sijin is secretly mobilizing the shogunate army under his control, the number is unknown, and the target is unknown..."
"The final secret report: It was discovered that Ying Sijin had frequent contact with the commander of the shogunate navy..."
Just as he was contemplating, the magnetic voice of Ayato Kamisato suddenly came from behind him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Niwa was already quite familiar with him, and he pointed to the situation in front of him and reported without looking back: "I seem to be about to guess what Takashijin and the others are going to do, but there is one thing I haven't figured out yet."
"Huh? They? Didn't they just want to take the opportunity to poach the corner of the Kutiao family?" Shenli wondered while looking at the documents.
Niwa shook his head, "It's not that simple...it's definitely not that simple!"
While talking, accompanied by the sound of soft footsteps, Kanli Linghua walked into the study with a lot of official documents in her arms.
"My lord, Mr. Niwa. This is a copy of the official document sent to the magistrate today."
Lingren stretched out his hand to pick it up and said concernedly: "There are so many, let Thomas help you take it..."
Linghua smiled softly, "Toma is busy preparing dinner, I can do it by myself... oops!"
She didn't pay attention, and an official document fell from the top floor.
The long scroll spread out on the ground and rolled to Niwa's feet.
Niwa smiled at her, "It's okay, I'll come..."
Just at this moment, a passage on the document caught his eyes, and it immediately made him feel as if he was struck by lightning!
"Tianling pursues the application for the use of the sea chart of Qinglai Island and the statue of the imperial god of Naruto and the god of thunder..."
He couldn't help punching the ground so hard that the cups in the whole room jumped a few inches!
A few minutes later, the shocked Kamizato Ayato looked at Niwa with the eyes of a monster and said, "Based on these scattered clues, are you sure that the Takashi family is going to attack the rebels?"
Niwa shook his head, "I just think that if I were Takashijin, I would definitely bet on this."
"Since both the Hiiragi family and the Shensato family support the Kujo family, Takashijin must have figured out that although the Kujo family's vitality has been greatly damaged in this battle, self-protection is no longer a problem, and his plan to replace the Kujo family will inevitably come to naught."
"Only by making an undisputed great contribution at this critical moment, can Ying Sijin rely on his merit and strength to enter the Lord of Heaven with an undisputed attitude!"
"Now the rebel army and the shogunate army are facing each other near the Kujo Jinhouse. Although the rebel army will also guard against the shogunate navy, the main direction of fortification must be in the sea area north of Kannazuka, where there is a normal shipping route for them."
"If Ying Sijin's troops can successfully pass through the thunderstorm sea area near Qinglai Island and surprise Mingzhutan from the south, then the early progress will be too fast, and most of the main force of the rebel army who rely on capture to maintain the battle will be surrounded in Tadasha!"
"This is the great achievement Ying Sijin has been thinking about!"
In fact, there is another reason that Niwa didn't mention, and that is the attitude of fools.
Fools provoke the Daozu civil war, the main purpose is to take advantage of the chaos to steal key materials such as crystallized bone marrow, and at the same time detect the general-purpose evil eye during the war.What they want to see is a stalemate, not a quick victory for one side.
Because of this, they secretly supported Haizhi Island before the war and strengthened their confidence in launching a war.Seeing that Haizhi Island was in a state of breaking through, and that the shogunate army was about to be turned into a French army, they hurriedly contacted the most ambitious Yingsi family in Tianlingxing, trying to get them to support Kujo Xiaoxing to withstand the front.
It's just that Ying Sijin also has his own ambitions. On the one hand, he collects money and food from the fools, and on the other hand, he is planning a plan that will all contribute to one battle.
It's ridiculous to say that, whether it's Kanding and Shefengxing, or the Kutiaojia and the Fools, the early players in this war planned either not to fight, or to fight small.
However, with the development of the battle situation, the new player Ying Sijin, as a key variable, is the one who wants to fight hard.
The whole situation is gradually out of the control of all the old players, and everyone is helpless.
Kamisato Ayato walked back and forth in the room for a few times, and said decisively: "The rebel army cannot be eliminated! If they fail, no one will dare to resist the eye hunting order and the sequestration order! Even if Daozao survives this test, There is no future!"
"However, if the rebel army survives, given their current situation, I'm afraid they will still have an endless tug-of-war with the shogunate army..." Kanli Ayaka said worriedly.
"Not necessarily." Niwa shook his head and said, "As long as the leaders of the rebel army have some brains, they will know that as long as General Raiden is around, they will not be able to completely defeat the shogunate. It's just that the arrow has to be fired. I'm afraid there are many inside the rebel army who have been rushed by victory." Dizzy guy..."
"At this point, someone must stand up to cool down the battle and push the rebels to retreat..." Ayato Kanli looked at Niwa with burning eyes.
Niwa shook his head and smiled wryly, "Why am I so unlucky that I have to do such thankless jobs everywhere?"
Kamisato Ayato sat down solemnly, and bowed deeply to Niwa, "For the sake of the rice wife and the people, don't fall into the quagmire of war, I can only ask you, Niwa-sama."
Linghua also hurriedly followed her elder brother to salute.
Niwa sighed softly, and silently returned the salute.
Chapter 108 The Rebels Mixed with Dragons and Snakes
It was late in the evening, and in a rebel camp near the sea in the north of Tatarasha, the smell of dinner wafted with the sea breeze, making the soldiers on guard a little distracted.
At this moment, a small boat sailed out from the afterglow of the setting sun and approached the coast.
Seeing this, the captain of the sentinel hurriedly yelled, and led a group of soldiers to surround him.
The coast of Tadasha is mostly shoals. This coast is one of the few areas where small ships can dock. Naturally, it has been heavily defended by the rebels.
Just as the captain of the sentinel led the team forward, a rebel sentry surrounded him from the other direction.
"It's that group of rogues again..." the captain of the sentinel curled his lips inwardly.
Among the sentries afterward, the first one shouted loudly from a distance: "Gaoqiao! The last group of people were 'received' by your people from the Coral Palace. It's our turn for this group!"
Sentinel captain Takahashi was a little dissatisfied, but after thinking of General Goro's advice, he still hummed softly and raised his hand to make his subordinates stop.
"Shimada, don't go too far!"
The leader of the resistance army known as Shimada had a carefree expression on his face, holding a knife in his open arms and a grass stalk in his mouth. He looked more like a ronin swordsman than a soldier.
Facing Takahashi's warning, he casually hummed twice, led his men past Takahashi and his party, and approached the shore.
Takahashi showed anger under his hands, but he stopped him with his eyes and endured it.
The boat docked slowly, and four people got off the boat.Three of them were dressed as foreigners, and only one was dressed as Inazuma.
Seeing that most of the people who came were foreigners, Shimada's vigilance was lowered again, and he quickly surrounded him with people, shouting loudly: "Who are you! What are you doing here on the territory of our rebel army?"
The person in Inazuma's attire took the initiative to greet Shimada, "The captain, in Shimofubara Manyo, would like to ask to see Lord Coral Palace."
Shimada smiled contemptuously, "Just because you want to see Mr. Coral Palace? Do you think Mr. Coral Palace can be seen by any cat or dog?"
Wan Ye frowned slightly, but still said politely: "This captain looks strange, is he a new member of the resistance army? I'm not talented, but I have some friendship with Mr. Goro..."
Shimada was a little suspicious, but he couldn't lose face with a group of younger brothers behind him.
He rolled his eyes and said proudly: "I don't care who you know, if you want to pass by me, you have to follow our rules! Otherwise..."
Following his words, frost flowers appeared in the air!
Wan Ye pressed the handle of the knife with one hand, and was about to speak, but heard Takahashi's surprised voice not far away, "Wan Ye? You're back?!"
Seeing Takahashi trotting forward to meet him, Wan Ye's hand left the handle of the knife, and a sincere smile appeared on his face, "Takahashi, long time no see."
Seeing that the person who came was really an acquaintance, Shimada scolded "bad luck", turned around and left despondently, before leaving, he did not forget to shout to Takahashi: "Hey! Takahashi! This one doesn't count, the next one has to be ours !"
Wan Ye frowned and watched him go away, then asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
Takahashi heaved a long sigh, "They are Ronin faction..."
"Ronin faction? What do you mean?"
"Let's go, let's talk as we go..."
Manyo nodded to Niwa, Kurumi and Abedo behind him, and strode to follow.
Niwa was staring at Shimada's back in a daze, only to come back to his senses after being patted by Abedo, and asked in a low voice: "Did you smell it just now? The smell on Shimada's body..."
Abedo nodded, "It's the Misty Void Grass."
Niwa's brows were suddenly furrowed.
Following Takahashi's explanation along the way, everyone finally understood the situation of the rebels.
Since the promulgation of the national lock-up order, the entire Daozuma has been in a state of shortage of supplies, and Haizhi Island, which has been in a semi-independent state, is naturally no exception.
To make matters worse, due to the influence of the sacred land, the agriculture of Haizhi Island is extremely underdeveloped, and the fishery alone can barely maintain the rations of the people.
Originally relying on the sale of special products such as coral pearls, Haizhi Island could barely maintain its life, but with the increasing exploitation of survey and appointment, the special product business gradually became difficult.
With the promulgation of the "Eye Hunting Order", a large number of Inazuma people who were dissatisfied with the shogunate gathered in Haiji Island.
Most of these people are young and strong wandering warriors, and soon formed a faction on Haizhi Island, calling themselves the "Ronin faction".
The Ronin Faction did indeed greatly strengthen Haizhi Island's military strength at the beginning, and defeated the shogunate army in dozens of conflicts, saving Haizhi Island's caravans from being exploited by many troops stationed along the way.
However, this force soon merged with the anti-shogunate radicals in Haizhi Island, and gradually began to become uncontrollable.
Speaking of this, Takahashi's tone was a little bit more upset.
"This time, the destruction of the town on Yalong Island and the surprise attack on the shogunate army was done by the Ronin faction and the radical faction of Haizhi Island. Lord Coral Palace didn't even know it beforehand!"
"This group of guys succeeded in a surprise attack by means of despicable means, and they attacked Tatara all the way. The shogunate army was defeated at the first touch. Thanks to their military exploits, their faction leader Iwazo Mitsuzo dared to openly challenge Lord Coral Palace!"
"However, these people have suffered a lot in the process of attacking the Jiutiao array recently. Thanks to the command of the Master Coral Palace, they were rescued, so they restrained a little..."
"That Shimada just now is a member of the Ronin faction? What was he planning to do?" Manyo asked.
Takahashi snorted coldly and said: "That's right, and he is Iwazo Mitsuzo's disciple. Recently, our situation has been very good, and many powerful landlords from Narugami Island, Yarui Island, and Tatara Sands have come to fawn on them. The gang of ronin faction The guys took the opportunity to scatter out and ask for Naka.”
"This harbor is the nearest berth to Narugami Island. It was originally a defense zone of our Coral Palace faction, but that Shimada wants to lead people to guard here. Anyone who goes to the camp will be blackmailed by them."
"Later, Mr. Goro couldn't see it, so he sent me to take the defense. After a few tricks with that guy, he restrained his arrogance a little, but he still asked to take turns 'receiving' visitors with us."
"Master Goro didn't want us to have a conflict with them, so he asked me to agree."
Hearing this, Niwa suddenly interjected and asked: "How many troops does the rebel army have now? How much combat power does the Ronin faction and the Coral Palace faction have?"
Takahashi gave Niwa a vigilant look, and Wanye hurriedly explained: "This is my friend, one of my own, and this time he is here to help Lord Coral Palace. If it's not confidential information, you can just say it."
Takahashi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "It's not a secret... The main force of our rebel army in Tatasha is over [-], of which nearly [-] are from the Ronin faction."
"Besides, Lord Coral Palace also left a reserve team on Bayun Island, with more than [-] people, stationed in the area on the west side of the island where the gods have less influence. But most of those people are newly recruited recruits. Not strong enough to fight."
Niwa nodded slightly.
