Chapter 359: Encircling and Sending Reinforcements
The Nabeshima family finally surrendered.? To be precise, he was forced to surrender by the Luo family.
The one who was brought up the most was the head of the Nabeshima family, Nabeshima Kiyohisa. As early as this morning, Masaro sent Kato Duzo and Tobian to infiltrate Honjo Village and closely monitor the movements of the Nabeshima family. And Masara also instructed the two of them to look for an opportunity to seize Nabeshima Kiyohisa once there was an emptiness in the Nabeshima family.
This move of Masayo is somewhat similar to the decapitation operation of later generations. Sure enough, when the Nabeshima Yoshibo and Nabeshima Kiyobo brothers led most of the soldiers in their families to take advantage of the night to sneak attack the camp of the Luo family, Kato Duanzo and Fei Duan took advantage of the emptiness of Honjo Village, and with the cooperation of Black Hawk, captured Nabeshima Kiyohisa, who was waiting for the news of the night attack at home, and brought it to the vicinity of the Luo family's camp.
At this time, the army led by Nabeshima Yoshibo and Nabeshima Kiyobo had just arrived near the camp of the Luo family.
With the appearance of Nabeshima Kiyohisa, the two brothers Nabeshima Yoshibo and Nabeshima Kiyofang really have no choice. You can't kill your father and the head of your family, right? As a result, the two brothers Nabeshima Yoshibo and Nabeshima Kiyofang and the more than 300 people they led all surrendered.
Masarashi first ordered people to take care of the three fathers and sons of Nabeshima Kiyohisa, and then fabricated a new temporary team of more than 300 people who surrendered, which was led by Uemura Hontsuna.
At the same time, the heads of the local tyrants such as Fukuchi, Katatae, Noda, Shimomura, Ishii, Kanamochi, and Hyakutake also enjoyed the same treatment as Nabeshima Kiyohisa's father and son, and their armies were also temporarily organized, and they were led by Ueda Shinji and other side officials. According to Zhengliang's order, some soldiers from these powerful families will be mobilized into this army. It is estimated that after adding the soldiers of these local tyrants, the number of Zhengliang's army along the way should be more than 1,000 people.
At this point, the Haoqiang who had a little strength in Zuojia County were already under the control of the Luo family.
Nothing happened overnight.
On the second day, that is, on the 25th day of June in the tenth year of astronomy, after gathering all the powerful soldiers recruited from all over the world, the army of the Luo family set off again.
As the army passed through Pauling Monastery. Masahiro also went in to take a look. This temple is the place where Hizen no Kuma Ryuzoji Takanobu practiced, and when there was a clan change in the Ryuzoji family, Masarashi sent Kato Duanzo to bring people to assassinate Takanobu of Ryuzoji Temple, but when they came here, they found that the temple had been emptied. There wasn't a single figure in sight. This time Masara came here again. There are already some monks in the temple who have fled and returned, but unfortunately there is still no whereabouts of the Hizen bear.
After a moment of stagnation at the temple, the army of the Luo family continued to advance, and soon crossed the border of Saga County. Entered Kanzaki-gun. Masayo's first target is Niutou City. It was the home of the Baba family.
At this moment, the horse farm politician who was in the horse farm in Niutou City, the son of Lai Zhou, was taken aback. In fact, he had already learned the news that the Luo family had entered Xiaocheng County and Saga County after the defeated Shao Er Family coalition army had fled two days ago. At first, he did panic. After all, this time, his father died in the Battle of Rokkakugawa, and less than a third of the soldiers who escaped back were when they went to attack the Luo family. And many people came back with injuries, and even if they were not injured, they were already scared to the point that the three souls were gone, and they had no combat effectiveness at all. What's more, he also hurriedly succeeded to the position of family governor with the assistance of his uncle Ma Chang Jianzhou, and his ministers were not fully convinced of him. In such a state, how to deal with the menacing Roche Fan.
So he hurriedly found his uncle Horse Farm Jianzhou. After the two uncles and nephews discussed for a night, they finally concluded that Roche Fan could not advance to Kanzaki County so quickly, and it was even possible to be trapped in Ogi County and Saga County. Why? Because whether it is the Longzoji family or the Shaoji family, they are all Haoqiang who have been in business for several generations in Hizen. It can be said that it is an authentic Hizen Haoqiang, even if the two families attack each other, and the winning side becomes the new boss, the surrounding local tyrant country has no objections. The Luo family is a little different, and everyone doesn't know how this family came out. And it started in the most wild place in Matsuura County, so it is even more despised. Now that this nouveau riche has suddenly become his own boss and is ready to ride on his head and, of course they don't want to. Therefore, the two uncles and nephews concluded that the people of the two counties and the local tyrants would definitely take action.
Of course. That's not enough, so Baba Kanshu went to Sefukuji Castle in person. He made a suggestion to Shao Erdongshang, who had just escaped back, to let Luo Shifan fall into the war between the two counties of Xiaocheng and Sajia. Shao Er Dongshang actually showed his extraordinary wisdom this time, agreed to the suggestion of the horse farm Jianzhou, and then waved his hand and conveyed the news to the county heroes, saying that the territory of the original Longzao temple family in the two counties of Saga and Xiaocheng will occupy whoever has the ability. The various heroes who got the approval of Shao Erdong Shang were in a commotion, and they had the intention of fishing in troubled waters. And the powerful coalition army of Saga County that Masara encountered yesterday was formed precisely because of this plan.
After receiving the news that the heroes of Saga County had begun to unite, the two uncles and nephews of the racecourse were even more at ease, and concluded that Kanzaki County would not be able to reach by the Luo clan. So, when they suddenly received the news that Luo's army was about to be killed this morning, the two uncles and nephews were frightened on the spot. It's unbelievable. At this time, the two uncles and nephews began to urgently mobilize peasants to defend the city. It's a pity that it's too late.
When they barely gathered a hundred people, the army of more than 1,000 people of the Luo family had already appeared outside the gate of Niutou City.
To add insult to injury, the gates of the city were opened at this critical moment. The army of the Luo family seized the opportunity and swarmed in.
Seeing that he was no longer able to resist, the horse farm officials abandoned the city and fled in a hurry, while the horse farm Jianzhou committed suicide by seppuku.
After sending a team of soldiers to chase down the fleeing Machang officials, Masayo rested on the spot in Niutou Castle. At the same time, Masahiro also rewarded the black eagles who opened the gates of Niutou City. Yes, as early as last night, after subduing the Nabeshima family, Masara sent the detective and the Black Hawk team to infiltrate Kanzaki County overnight, allowing them to hide in various powerful territories and wait for an opportunity. And these Black Eagles were regarded as peasant soldiers, forcibly recruited by the Maba family as soldiers to defend the city, and happened to be in charge of guarding the city gates. Seeing that the main army's army was outside the door, several people had an idea, suddenly attacked, and opened the city gate, which directly led to the defeat of the Machang family.
Zuojia Zhonghaoqiang, who was forced to surrender yesterday, was stunned when he saw that the Luo family was as fast as lightning to wipe out the Shao Er family's ruling minister, the Machang family. Although their soldiers also contributed to the siege this time, they were just following the charge. Seeing that the Luo family was so strong, the guy with Ning Min was already thinking about it secretly. In fact, although they were temporarily subjugated to the Luo family, most of the powerful people here were only temporarily compromised by the Luo family. When they got back, they were going to do some more small things.
Masarashi is clear about the careful thinking of these guys, but due to the time constraints, he must obtain as much territory as possible before the Ouchi family's army completely enters Hizen, and Masarashi can only temporarily control these problem characters in order to achieve the purpose of temporarily controlling their army.
After a slight pause, leaving a part of the people in charge of taking over the territory of the Baba family, Masarashi led the army to continue to kill the next target, the Oda family's Hasuike Castle.
In Kanzaki County, the main heroes are the Shaoji family, the Kamiyo family, and the Oda family, and there are also small heroes such as the Inuzuka family, the Tsuchihashi family, the Edoyoshi family, the Uchida family, and the Honsuke family.
Geographically, the Kamiyo family occupies Chikuzen's passage into Hizen via Mt. Beizhen, and the castle is Mise Castle, which occupies the territory above Kanzaki County; The Shaoji family occupies the most extensive land in the central part of Kanzaki County, mainly including Mutian Castle, Sefukuji Castle, and Lingbe Castle, and it is worth mentioning that Mutian Castle and Lingbe Castle are actually controlled by the two clans of Nishimuta and Lingbu, who are subordinate to the Shaoji family; At the end of the day, the land below Kanzaki County was controlled by a wealthy family led by the Oda family. It is located on the west bank of the Chikugo River, and the Ariake Sea is to the south, so the land is quite developed. More importantly, the east bank of the Chikugo River is a strategic location for the Otomo family's subjugated Kamaike family. Because of the above reasons, there are more than ten large and small Chinese people and local tyrants here.
The main reason why Masarashi chose this place for the first strategic target of Kanzaki Prefecture is that in addition to the above geographical and strategic location factors, it is also because there are many wealthy families here, which leads to the dispersion of forces, which is conducive to breaking them one by one.
On the afternoon of June 25, the tenth year of astronomy, the army of the Luo family finally came to the outside of the lotus pond city of the Xiao Tian family. Unexpectedly, Masarashi did not immediately attack, but instead let the army be stationed on the spot, looking like he was slowly polishing with the Oda family.
The Luo family's abnormal behavior made the Oda family, who were waiting for the battle, suspicious. After the disappearance of the head of the family, Oda Masamitsu, who temporarily took over the position of head of the family, ordered to continue to strengthen the city defenses, and immediately sent a large number of scouts to sneak out of the city and ask for help from the nearby wealthy clans.
But what he didn't know was that such a move of his happened to fall into Zhengliang's calculations. It is not cost-effective to attack the city rashly, not only can it not conquer the city immediately, but it is very likely that it will be attacked by the surrounding wealthy clans at the most urgent moment. Therefore, Zhengliang is ready to come to a siege point to send reinforcements, first cut off all the rest of the Xiaohao clan, and only come to deal with the Xiaotian family later.
And the wealthy families who received the Oda family's letter of help such as the Honsuke family, the Inuzuka family, and the Hachinohe family also responded in groups. One after another, several wealthy clans acted at the same time, or simply acted alone, and came to the Lotus Pond City of the Oda family.
