"Let's go!" With a wave of Masahiro's big hand, the entire military array began to move.

This time, Masahiro's forward march was divided into three armies: front, middle, and rear. The 100 people of the 4th Standing Ashigaru Team led by Kinoshita Masanao, and the 200 people of the 200 members of the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Team led by Tomohisa Oishi, these two teams are also the vanguard army as the vanguard. Kinoshita Masanao is the main general, and Tomohisa Oishi is the deputy general.

The Chinese army, which is the main camp, is composed of 100 members of the 3rd Standing Ashigaru Team led by Yoshida Shigemasa, 100 low-level samurai teams led by Akuta, and 100 people of the Cloak Team under the command of Twenty Detectives and Masara. The main general is Masarashi himself, and the military advisors are Kakuma Ishimune and Shinnosuke Akabane, and he is close to Yoshira Nobuyei, Ueda Shinji, Uemura Hontsuna, Tetsunosuke, and Ahri as Masara's personal guards, and there are also two small surnames Yoshinomaru and Murakami Takeyoshi.

The rear army is composed of 200 peasants and soldiers participating in the war, 100 logistics peasants and soldiers, and a large number of large carts carrying grain and military materials.

"You guys listen to me, the great lord Luo clan Masashi is behind us, this is the honor of your life, pay attention to me, don't be ashamed, otherwise I will be responsible for cleaning the camp for half a year when I go back, well, including cleaning the latrines" With Masaara's order, Kinoshita Masachi said threateningly to the subordinates of the fourth standing ashigaru team.

"Oh!" The people below raised their weapons and shouted.

"You xxx, do you hear that? The Great Lord Monarch Zhengliang Hall is behind us, give me spiritual points, take out the spirit of how you usually look at women, don't mess up, or give me seppuku" Seeing that the momentum of the fourth standing ashigaru team next to him was so high, the leader of the second standing ashigaru team, Tomohisa Oishi, couldn't hold back his face, and immediately gave his subordinates a more ruthless threat.

"Oh!" The number of people is twice that of the fourth standing ashigaru team, and the second standing ashigaru team is even more vigorous.

"Ha Lu Haha, go on, call me Lord Jun mighty, the title of independence is ours" Oishi Tomohisa Ha Lu Ha Da Lu laughed. Continue to shout.

"The lord is mighty, and the title of independence is our ......" The shouts of the people under Kishigaku Castle immediately rang out.

"Okay, tell Kinoshita Masanao and Oishi Tomohisa not to make trouble. Give me a quiet walk, really, these two guys, how do you usually teach them? It's not like to say it. Do you want 'its Xu Rulin'? Seeing that the former army was so lively, Zhengliang couldn't help frowning.

"Hehe, Your Highness, the momentum is commendable," Shinnosuke Akabane said with a smile on the side, "At the beginning of the army. With such might, this battle is undoubtedly won. ”

"Hmm," the Kakukuma Sect on the other side also nodded in agreement.

So, it was in this atmosphere that the army of the Luo family began to head to the first strategic place in Songpu County, Imari Bay.

Two hours later, at noon. Two peasant soldiers who had just finished lunch were bored and lazy leaning on the soil chop and dozing off.

Originally, it was the residence of a branch of the Maeda family, and it was strategically located because it controlled the entrance to Imari Bay from the direction of Kishigatake Castle. In the last raid of the Wave coalition against the Matsuura family. The original owner of this earthen mould pretended to surrender to the Bojia family. Then, when the Wave family coalition army was defeated, the Matsuura family coalition army that was ambushed nearby tried to seize this stronghold, so as to block the retreating Wave family alliance army in Imari Bay, and was finally defeated by the Wave family alliance army that occupied the place, and the Maeda family family, as the master of the place, was also exterminated by the group of Wave family alliances.

Later, Bojia abandoned the mound and burned it down before leaving. Although the Imari family has reoccupied the place and made appropriate repairs, it is no longer the same as the one that was once in charge.

"Step, step, step......" at this time. A neat and strange sound sounded on the mountain road not far from the earth.

"Hey, did you hear that?" One of the peasant soldiers, who was dozing off, was the first to wake up. Then he woke up his companion next to him and said.

"Huh? What are you doing? Someone will take over in a while, so let's sleep a little longer. I'll have to go to the field later," the peasant soldiers who were pushed awake were obviously dissatisfied.

"Didn't you hear?" The peasant soldier at the beginning continued.

"Alright, just get up and take a look, don't disturb my sleep," the peasant soldier who was pushed awake muttered and then turned around and went back to sleep.

"You? Really," the grumbling peasant soldier said angrily, and at the same time slowly got up, and then looked at the voice that came from him.

"Bang dang!" A crisp sound of weapons falling off the road sounded.

"Oops" followed by a scream, "What are you doing?" Why did you hit me with a weapon? The sleeping peasant soldier shouted.

"Enemy... Enemy... Enemy attack! The peasant soldier who had just gotten up to check on him was so frightened that he even stammered when he spoke.

……

"Your Highness, the defenders of the other party's fortress have fled without a fight. The checkpoint leading to Imari Bay has been occupied by Tomohisa Oishi," and an ashigaru came to the main camp to report to Masayoshi who was marching.

"Okay, all the personnel of the vanguard should take the first credit," Masarashi said happily, "and the order was given, and the whole army accelerated its advance and took Imari Castle in one go." ”

"Hey, hey, hey," shouted the soldiers around him.

The bloodless victory in the first battle once again greatly boosted morale.

"Someone, send this letter to Richeng, and hand it over to the executor, so that after receiving the signal from the main formation, he will act according to the order" Masarashi took out a letter and handed it to a detective in charge of the side while watching the troops around him advance.

"Your Highness, this is the information of the Black Eagle who was hiding nearby after the family broke through the earth fortress," said Kira Xuanjing, who was close to the side and handed over a letter.

Masahiro immediately took the letter, and after reading it, handed it to the two military advisors on the side. The letter was written by Kato Duanzo, mainly to report that after they infiltrated the enemy's territory, they were already buying food on a large scale according to Masayo's plan, and the original plan set by Masayo was also being implemented. It also reported on some information gathered in enemy territory.

"Your Highness, the other party is redistributing the territory, and this matter can be used" It was Shinnosuke Akabane who spoke.

"Oh? Do you mean to sow discord and create chaos in the other side's territory? Masato said.

"Yes, this time, since the place occupied is only directly adjacent to the territory of the Kamimatsunura family and the Goto family, in order to distribute the benefits, the Kamimatura family and the Goto family will inevitably make concessions to the more powerful Omura family and the Saigo family, and it is certain that they will cede some territories bordering these two families," said Shinnosuke Akabane, "and the other party is already doing so, so the family can spread rumors in their territory that the Matsuura family and the Goto family are about to be annexed by the Omura family and the Saigo family." ”

"Your Majesty thinks this is a good plan," Kadokuma Ishizong on the other side also nodded and said, "In addition, Your Majesty suggests that the detectives and ninjas who are ambushed in the other party's territory pretend to be bandits and harass the local territory everywhere, so that the other party is as chaotic as possible." ”

"Well, the two military advisors have a very good plan," Masarashi nodded, and then immediately asked the little surname Murakami Takekichi to bring the army Maza, and directly wrote a few orders on the paper, and finally handed it to a Black Hawk, who was responsible for handing over the written letter to Kato Duanzo and Fei Duan and others.

"Your Highness, the third standing ashigaru team is invited to fight" As soon as the Black Eagle was sent away, Masarashi saw Yoshida Shigemasa running over angrily and asking for his life. Obviously, he couldn't sit still when he saw that Tomohisa Oishi and Masanao Kinoshita, who were the pioneers, had achieved their battle achievements so quickly. Before leaving, the leaders of several of their teams got together and made a bet, which team was the first to get the title of independence selected for themselves, and the leaders of the rest of the teams gave the commander of this team ten times. Ten times! It's enough for a peasant to live a good life, but it's not a small amount of money!

"Hehe, Chongzheng, I'll be in Imari City soon, and then I'll have a chance to make meritorious contributions to you," Masahiro said with a smile. The military heart can be used.

"Please entrust Your Highness with the responsibility of Gongcheng to your subordinates," Yoshida Shigemasa said.

"Okay, I'll leave it to you, hurry up and bring me back with the team," Masarashi said.

"Yes, Your Highness, Your Highness will definitely take Imari Castle for Your Highness" After receiving Masayo's promise, Yoshida Shigemasa left quickly in two steps. He was to hurry back to the troops to announce the good news.

"Give the order to go down, speed up the march, and let's have lunch at the foot of Imari Castle," Masarashi said. Now it's time to finish the cage city on Imari before the people of Imari City react. It's the farming season, and with the sudden attack of the Luo family, there will definitely not be too many defenders in Imari City.

As expected, when the Luo clan was speeding up to Imari City, Imari Gyoli, who was playing a game of making people with his wife and concubine at home, was so frightened that he couldn't speak after receiving the report of the peasant soldiers who had escaped from the earth, and he shouted after a long while: "Quick, quick, go find Maeda Tachikawa and Okawauchi." ”

Maeda Tachikawa and Okawauchi, who received an urgent call from the head of the family, immediately rushed to meet Imari Ieri as quickly as possible.

"What do you say?" After telling the two of them the information, Imari asked with a sad face.

"Hey," Okawauchi immediately said, "The family should immediately gather the low-ranking samurai who have returned home to work as farmers, as well as Ashigaru, to come back to defend the castle, and at the same time mobilize the peasants immediately." ”

"Yes, call it now, mobilize it immediately," Imari Gyari finally reacted and said immediately.

"It's too late," Maeda Tachikawa said categorically, "The other party is about to arrive at the castle in the blink of an eye, and it is too late to gather low-level samurai and peasant soldiers." ”

"It's... How's that good? Imari said in horror. His father, Imari Iejun, was killed in the last attack on the Matsuura family by the Banda coalition forces, and after the war, he retained his territory by helping the Matsuura family defeat the Hakata family. Then, at the age of sixteen, he was supported by two important ministers in the family, Maeda Tachikawa and Okawauchi, to inherit the position of family governor. Because he is still young, many decisions are made by relying on the two important ministers.

"Your Highness, there are two ways in front of the main family now, one is to rely on the dozens of kinship samurai in the city and the Ashigaru fortress to resist, and wait for the rescue of the Omura family," Maeda Tachikawa said. After the destruction of the previous boss, the Hirado Matsuura family, the Imari family decisively took root with the Omura family.

"And the second way?" After listening to the first path, Imari Mori continued to ask......)
