At three o'clock in the morning, the battlefield cleaning was finally over, and Zhen Qian nodded with satisfaction as he listened to the report.

"One hundred and thirteen war horses were captured, more than 600 Silla troops were captured, and more than 1,000 weapons and ordnance were ......", Wittui was very dissatisfied with the spoils, a large number of ordnance and the Silla army died in the fire, and Li Chen did not bring much ordnance to support this sneak attack out of the city, so it was a big loss in this battle.

"The account can't be calculated like this, the biggest receipt this time is the war horse, and the ordnance supplies were all left in Songpu City by Li Chen? Counting this time, we're a big winner, haha! ”

At noon, Zhen Qian was lying on the top of the mountain lazily basking in the sun, this kind of early spring sunlight is soft and sprinkled on people, which will make people drowsy. The dragoons in charge of the pursuit also returned one after another, Qian Xue and Hui Xiang just briefly talked about the process of pursuit, but Liu Liang looked a little excited.

"Owner! The combat effectiveness of the dragoons is really good, and the Silla army that fought has no power to fight back, which is really happy! Should we expand the number of dragoons? ”

"Huh!" Zhen Qian laughed dryly, and couldn't bear to blow out: "It's not as simple as you think, the dragoons have to be trained to load immediately, shooting immediately and shooting arrows right away are the same thing, if you want to expand the dragoons, it is better to expand the musket battalion first, if you have nothing to do, how about going to the musket battalion as a temporary instructor?" ”

"Ugh!"

Liu Liang immediately wilted: "The subordinates listen to the arrangement of the island master!" ”

"That's it!" Zhen Qian looked up at the sky, asked the sergeant to bury the pot and cook quickly, and said to Witui and Pilates: "After dinner, the two of you will lead the 3,000 conscripts to Matsuura Castle, one is to transport all the materials hoarded by the Silla army in Matsuura Castle back to Saga Town, and the other is to leave 2,000 conscripts to help Yamamoto 56 defend the city, and the rest of the people will all return to Saga Town for reorganization, which must be completed unconditionally within three days!" ”

"Island Master, don't we want Songpu Castle?" Liu Liang also thought that Zhen Qian would occupy the entire Feiqian Kingdom immediately after this battle, and heard that Zhen Qian only left 2,000 troops to defend Songpu City, and knew that Zhen Qian was ready to abandon Songpu City.

The people around are also puzzled, at this time, if they don't take advantage of the big victory to occupy Hizen Country, those big and small masters who are about to move will already be eager to pounce on it and take a bite.

"Our strength is still too weak!"

Zhen Qian can't wait to occupy the entire Xikaidao, but does he have such a good digestion ability? If you jump out at this time, you will definitely break your teeth, and you will be a bird, and you will be used as a target for guns.

"Don't forget, there are still tens of thousands of Silla troops outside the port of Tangjin, once the news of the loss of Songpo Castle spreads, the Silla army will inevitably send troops to counterattack, do you think we have the strength to fight the Silla army head-on?"

"Nope!"

Liu Liang shook his head and said: "As long as the Silla army sends four or five thousand troops, we can only avoid its sharp ...... with nearly 10,000 troops in our hands." ”

"Not bad! Don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Silla army and the Japanese army, our advantage lies in weapons and equipment, but we can't show it yet, once the Silla army and the Japanese army discover our advantage, we will inevitably have to attack tens of thousands of enemies in front of us, and then we may not even be able to hold the Wufeng Islands! ”

Once these weapons such as artillery and muskets are discovered by the Silla army and the Japanese army, they will inevitably be spied on, and the Silla army and the Japanese army, which are controlled by greed, may unite to attack the Wufeng Islands and seize the crazy firearms.

This kind of scruple is definitely not Zhen Qian's own scaring himself, and he can't be too careful before he has a strong strength to fight.

The occupation of Songpu City is of great significance, but the danger is also not small, not to mention that the famous lords of Sekaido are staring at this piece of fat, even the Silla army will also worry about the cut off of supplies, and re-send troops to control the choke point of Songpu City, when Songpu City will become a meat grinder for all forces, Zhen Qian does not want to wade into this pool of troubled waters.

Everyone was a little unwilling, Songpo City was occupied by a trick, and the Silla army was wiped out by Zhen Qian, but it turned out to be cheaper for those hungry wolves around.

"Return to the army, return to Saga Town!"

On the third day of Zhen Qian's return to Saga Town, after the Silla army, which was desperately attacking Tangjin Port, received the news of Li Chen's defeat, he immediately sent 5,000 elites to Matsupo Castle, and at this time, Yamamoto 56, who was stationed in Matsuura Castle, reluctantly withdrew from Matsuura Castle.

Yamamoto Fifty-six's sudden departure also made these famous lords worried, but the temptation of Matsuura Castle was too great, and occupying Matsuura Castle meant that he could become the guardian of Hizen Country, even if this piece of fat was thorny, these famous lords did not hesitate to scramble.

After Fujiwara defeated the young two Tosho and occupied Matsuura Castle, he did not plunder it on a large scale, but instead contributed money and efforts to renovate Matsuura Castle to make Matsuura Castle appear more prosperous.

However, the good times did not last long, and after the defeat and retreat from Fujiwara, after the Silla army entered Matsuura Castle, it began to wreak havoc and scrape, and Matsuura Castle was no longer what it used to be, and it looked dilapidated and withered everywhere.

At the beginning, the Silla army was preparing to occupy Seohaedo for a long time, and in order to win over some popular support, the intensity of the scrape was relatively modest. After the Japanese army regained control and cut off the retreat of the Silla army, the Silla army finally tore off the mask of hypocrisy, and the plundering of Sekaido became unscrupulous, and the population of the entire Matsuura Castle was not two or three out of ten, and by the time Yamamoto 56 occupied Matsuura Castle, there was basically no smoke in the city, like a dead city.

Even so, the significance of Matsuura Castle to Hizen Province is still there, and whoever occupies Matsuura Castle is the guardian of Hizen Province.

After Yamamoto Fifty-six occupied Matsuura Castle, those famous lords found that Yamamoto Fifty-six did not declare himself to be the guardian of Hizen Province, and that the guardian of the Wa Kingdom was not something that anyone could do, although Yamamoto Fifty-six had thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, but his status was low, and those famous lords did not regard Yamamoto Fifty-six as one thing at all, but instead sent someone to recruit Yamamoto Fifty-six, promising a lot of money and official positions, hoping that he could take refuge in these famous lords.

But before these famous lords got Yamamoto Fifty-Six's response, Yamamoto Fifty-Six actually withdrew his troops from Matsuura Castle, and then those famous lords went crazy, and rushed into the Guardian Mansion as soon as possible, competing for the position of Guardian, and the two sides made a big move, once again plunging Matsuura Castle into war.

But before these famous lords could be happy, the news came that the Silla army had sent troops, and as soon as the 5,000 Silla troops arrived at Songpo Castle, these famous lords who had beaten their heads and bled blood, and those who knew that they were not the opponents of the Silla army, immediately fled back from Songpo Castle, and Songpu Castle fell into the hands of the Silla army again.
