Surrounded by high cities, the beacon smoke is shrouded. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two armies are staggered, and they face each other, in fact, even today's high city does not have much war.

Where the rivers and mountains are, the chessboard of the Otomo family is already the first to enter, but it is a pity that the decision in this world is not the first to win from the beginning.

Under the guidance of the guide, Shimazu Suihei's army was able to see the cross of the pill hanging on the high castle from afar, since the castle had not fallen, and the high castle was still there, it was no longer meaningful for him to go further.

What's more, the Ashigaru of the Ijiin family had already walked forward quickly from the rear team to inform him that at least two Otomo family forces had appeared in front of him.

The enemy and the enemy are now in an unclear formation, and if they move forward, they will have to show the bravery of the Shimazu samurai in hand-to-hand combat.

If the young master of the Hioki Shimazu family really decided to do this kind of thing, Shimazu would probably plan to let a son-in-law inherit his family business.

After all, this day is also a day that is about to enter winter, and no matter which invading army is attacking, there will be no shortage of this kind of random hunting in the enemy's territory.

Shimazu Suihei can understand the intentions of these guys of the Otomo family who were discovered by the Saker, and in the war, women, houses, hot water, and wine are all in the enemy's territory to help you legally provide what a happy and fortunate thing it is.

If the Shimazu family attacked the Otomo family, this thirteen-year-old boy would definitely not be soft.

Because they're all nobles, they're all the same bad guys.

Under his orders, the Shimazu family's army also retreated under the guidance of the guide, and hurried to the nearest village that had just passed, and the settlement of the houses was more peaceful than sleeping in the place surrounded by the Otomo family's army.

As a lone soldier, he really didn't want to alarm the nerves of the Otomo family, and he didn't want to just come to Takajo for a visit, so he immediately brought the whole army back to Satohara Castle, which was very much a drain on the family's already small amount of food.

Since Takajo was still in the hands of Shimazu Iehisa, the first thing he decided was to fulfill his first purpose of coming here, which was to repair a letter for one of the fastest samurai to bring back to Sadowara Castle, and to show the samurai of the Shimazu family and the swaying countrymen that Takajo was still standing.

The second purpose is to confront, using a safe village as a base, sending a team of samurai to guard against the Otomo family's every move, and make corresponding arrangements for the movement of the Otomo family's army until the main force of the Shimazu family arrives in Takashiro.

It was too early for him to make contact with the forces of Gao Cheng, and it had only been six days since the siege of Gao Cheng. No matter what, Shimazu Iehisa's army will not be overwhelmed and will be on the verge of collapse in six days.

He was very sure that his second uncle, Shimazu Tadahi (Yoshihiro), would bring all his troops to the front after he arrived at Sadoghara Castle from Iino Castle.

Now he is like the first chess piece in chess, playing in the most inconspicuous corner to show respect for the strategy of the Otomo family.

Under the order of the whole army to rest, the ashigaru people have formed a small circle with the structure of the subordinates of the township leaders and began to live a debauched life, and the carcass pills and plain spears that are at least above the usual value have also been given by these guys to the bottom of the trees, and the people have found the stream at the edge of the village and jumped into the water to feel the warmth of nature.

The samurai were still very reserved and came to the main formation to ask for instructions from Shimazu Suihei, and this instruction was how their army should get out of battle.

In the end, arranging defense is also one of the more troublesome things in the war, and Mo Yi, who used to have Mo Yi, who can now call himself the first mathematician of the Warring States, gave him ideas, and now if he wants to think about such trivial things by himself, he can't make up his mind for a while or ask the guide, the terrain near the village.

After all, it was Harada, who was in the front of him, who helped him out of the siege, and the veteran of the Hioki Shimazu family, who had been in war for a long time, put forward the idea that his son and nephew should guard the outermost line of defense by himself.

He has the control of his own men and horses, and he has at least twenty samurai under his command.

So Shimazu Suihei transferred a hundred ronins from the rear to supplement Harada's front line, and stationed his army on the hill at the entrance of this nameless village.

However, the reserves of the main formation were all the most elite samurai, and Shimazu Suihei also equipped the remaining 100 ronins in the rear formation into the main formation, and Tsuno Komasa commanded the 200 people stationed at the foot of the mountain 400 paces from the hill to cope with Harada's military situation.

Nearly 200 peasant soldiers led by the monk Myoaki served as the rearguard of Tsuno Komasa's army, and guarded the main formation.

The more than 30 retinues led by Gamo Anjo drank and ate together as the previous retinues of Suihei, and they were all stationed in the tents that had been set up.

When they rest at night, they are also half disarmed, and half are not disarmed.

And now, following Harada's advice, Shimazu Suihei's formation is a fish-scale defense, and any military movement or attack, other military forces can support each other.

Unless it was the Otomo family's army that sent out a night attack of more than 400 people, it was impossible for such an army to move at night without being detected under the Shimazu family's guard.

The remaining 300 or so packees retreated into the village and stationed there, after all, their main purpose was to guard the baggage necessary for the entire army.

Nowadays, Shimazu Suihei did not deliberately arrange sentinels and build observation towers because in the hilly area of southern Kyushu today, it is not as easy as imagined to attack at night.

The winding hills here can be described by a common saying, which is to break your leg while watching the mountains.

Not to mention that they can't see their fingers in the night, whether these soldiers can see the direction clearly.

Even with this kind of Shimazu family's military strength, it seems that the battle is not far away from the hillside, and the Maru no Cross is so arrogant.

However, if you really want to march and attack, it is estimated that it will be ten minutes of dawn by the time the Otomo army touches the camp of the Shimazu family, and now Shimazu Suihei only needs to be careful about the movement of the enemy's large number of troops during the day.

In the era of cold weapons, without an establishment and organizational structure, it was also extremely difficult to mobilize nearly 1,000 troops to move and invade at night.

What's more, Hyuga is still the home of the Shimazu family, and if you want to talk about the location, even if there are former ministers of the Ito family, the Otomo family does not dare to rashly cross the two rivers to bypass Takashiro and directly invade Hinata's territory, and Takagi's nails are not just a matter of a stronghold.

However, Sadogihara Castle did not fall into a panic because of the departure of Shimazu Suihei's troops, but the whistleblowing of an old minister of the Hinata Ito family caused a shock among the Shimazu family in the castle tower.

The news that the former retainers of the Ito family were preparing to start a rebellion is now known to Shimazu Tadahi (Yoshihiro), who entered the castle in the starry night.

Sitting under him are also Ijiin Tadashi, Kakukan Uei, Kakuchi Kajiyama, and Shimazu Ehisa and Kitago, who had previously maintained order at Sadogaha Castle, who had only arrived at Sadogaha Castle today.

"Suppress the rebellion!" Shimazu Tadahei made a decision within less than a cup of tea entering the castle, but to suppress the rebellion would be another disaster for the now stable Sadogaha Castle.

The important ministers who sat down were also very familiar with the temper of this highness, and they all leaned over and knelt on the ground with their hands.

"Wow!"
