I don't want to be God, or to live in eternity, or to hold heaven and earth in my arms. The kind of glory that belongs to human beings www.biquge.info pen and fun is enough for me. This is all I have prayed for. I myself am mortal, and I only ask for the happiness of mortals.

- Franzisco Petrarch (the first humanist of the Renaissance, known as the "father of the Renaissance")

The reason why the southern family, which has served as the guardian of the Michinoku country for more than 100 years, has never been able to become a first-class family in the Yamato Empire, but has been stabilized by the Date family, which is also in the Higashiyama Road, is because the southern family has not completed all the control of the Mutsu country at all.

The southern family, which nominally ruled the entire Michinoku country, actually controlled only the north-central region of the country, and the Tsugaru family in the northwestern part of the country and the Spo family in the south of the country were strong rivals for the southern family to rule the country.

In particular, the Tsugaru family, which ruled the northwestern part of the country, was located in Ishikawa Castle, where their family headquarters was located, and was a larger and more populous castle than Sannohe Castle, and with the presence of Fukushima Castle and the Nanzuna Imperial Palace, the Tsugaru clan was only slightly inferior to the southern family.

Although the Spo family in the southern part of the country is inferior to the southern family and the Tsugaru family in terms of strength, it also has extremely good strength, and how can the Spo family, who can rule Takasuisera Castle and the Bianshi Imperial Palace, be an ordinary small family.

In addition to the Nanbu and Tsugaru clans, as well as the Spo family, there are a number of other large and small families scattered within the territory of Mutsu Province, which are nominally dependent on the three major families, but in fact they are independent and small.

Before leaving Minohe Castle, Hakumine left an order for Sanada Masayuki and Izumiyama Koyasu to destroy other clans other than the Tsugaru and Spo clans in Mutsu Province once their respective armies had expanded to a predetermined size.

It doesn't matter if those families choose to take refuge in the Tsugaru family and the Spo family when the Yanhuang family's army is overwhelmed, what Bai Feng wants is not that all these families will be wiped out by the Yanhuang family, but that there are only three major families left in the Mutsu Kingdom to compete for hegemony.

In Bai Feng's opinion, instead of gradually cutting off those small families scattered throughout the Mutsu Country after dominating the Michinoku Country in the future, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate strength now to completely eliminate these small families with a little strength but inconsequential.

On the one hand, the annexation of these families is indeed helpful to the growth of the strength of the Yanhuang family, and on the other hand, the newly expanded army of the Yanhuang family needs actual combat to improve its combat effectiveness, and the biggest targets of actual combat are naturally those small families who are unwilling to surrender.

In dealing with these small families that are not very strong, the army of the Yanhuang family does not need to pay much casualties at all, and it can also achieve the purpose of training troops and increasing strength; such a good thing of killing two birds with one stone, Sanada Masayuki and others also unanimously agreed.

The Kunohe garrison of Kunohe Castle wanted to protect the vital port of Kunohe, so naturally they could not participate in this war of conquest against the small families of Mutsu Province, not to mention that the Kunohe garrison composed of Roman troops did not need much actual combat experience.

The Southern Standing Army, commanded by Nanbu Shinnao, was the garrison of Sannohe Castle, and was deliberately taken care of by Hakumine not to participate in the war; even if Sanada Masayuki's Sanada Red Reserve Army and Izumiyama Guyasu's Izumiyama Mobei Army were to go on an expedition, the Southern Standing Army would help them defend the city.

After arranging all the affairs, Bai Feng, who felt that time was pressing, immediately rushed to Jiuhe Castle, and on the day he returned to Jiuhe Castle, Bai Feng boarded the three-train battleship that came from him and embarked on a voyage to the Witt tribe.

Of the twenty trirex battleships of the escort fleet, six were left behind by Bai Feng, and the mission of these six triremes was to ensure that the nine ports of the Yanhuang family would not be attacked by the sailors of other Yamato imperial families.

Although the Southern Family and the Sanada Family each had a barely decent fleet, it was not bad compared to the ordinary families of the Yamato Empire, and compared to the naval army possessed by the real top families, it was still far behind.

What if the Oda family's navy went all the way north to the port of Kunohe? The fleet formed by the merger of the southern family and the Sanada family's fleet alone did not have the strength to resist the attack of the Oda family's navy, so Hakumine left behind six triremites.

With the combat power of the three ships of Rome, it was impossible for the Oda family to defeat the six triremes of Rome, not because of the invincibility of the trirees, but because each triremes were equipped with one hundred and fifty longbowmen.

The day when the landing fleet of the Roman city set sail again was August 24th, when the Roman city and the Vitus tribe had been at war for four days, and Bai Feng, who knew nothing about the situation on the battlefield, inevitably had some worries about this war.

The five-day sea voyage made Bai Feng, who was already anxious, more and more impatient, if it weren't for Yue'er and Binglan taking turns to comfort Bai Feng, who was anxious, I am afraid that Bai Feng would have been unable to hold back and scold.

On the evening of 29 August, the tenth day of the battle between Rome and the Vitus tribes, the Roman landing fleet finally reached the shores of the Vitus tribes.

Bai Feng, who had been away from the eastern region for more than 20 days, did not know that the attack of the Roman city on the Vitus tribe was not as smooth as he imagined before the war;

When the time was set for the attack, Upton's legion of lions was the first to open their camp and cross the border between Rome and the Vitte tribe to launch a surprise attack on the Werther tribe, but it was not the disorganized Werther army that greeted the lion legion, but an elite army of the Werther tribe prepared for war.

The Lion Legion, with 14,500 men, was surrounded by 30,000 infantry and 30,000 cavalry of the Vitte tribe in the fourth hour of the attack.

Even so, the Lion Legion, which had not undergone special training, had nearly 4,000 soldiers killed in battle, and even more than 5,000 wounded, and the Lion Legion, which had lost one-third of its soldiers and one-third of its wounded soldiers, was a complete setback.

The Werther tribe paid a heavy price for this, and the Tiger Legion and the two Macedonian phalanx legions under Bazel were both elite legions that had been specially trained, and their combat effectiveness made the Werther tribe, who had despised the army of Rome, pay a heavy price.

Upton, who had a low eye, caused 10,000 casualties among the Lions, while the arrogant Werther army lost more than 10,000 corpses and more than 20,000 prisoners under the fierce attack of Bazel, and on the first day of the battle, the Werther tribe lost nearly 40,000 troops.

Compared with the unfavorable start of Bazel's army, the situation encountered by Eggers' army was much better, and the army of the Werther tribe in the Hedong region was not as vigilant as the army in Hexi, and they were suddenly attacked by Eggers' army!
