In the early morning, the fog in the foothills of Bungo Province in Kyushu gradually dissipated, and the army of the Luo family suddenly appeared in front of the Shimazu family, the Ito family, and the Saeki family overnight.

In the mountain wind, in the mountains and forests in the distance, the army of the Luo family with black eagle fingers on their backs is all over the mountains, and there are also various variegated flag fingers, all of which are the armies of the local wealthy clans of the southern Yiyu of the four countries with their allies Xitu Temple as their allies.

The armies of the two sides set up their own formations on the north and south sides of the mountain road, and the reserves under their command marched all the way and moved, and the pikemen, horsemen, archers, and iron artillery teams lined up on the mountain road in an orderly manner.

"The army of the Luo family marched overnight, and then appeared in the distance behind our army after resting in the mountain road last night, and came to us in the early hours of the morning."

In the main formation on the side of the tripartite alliance, Saeki Yukyo, who was in charge of the rear formation, observed the enemy's military situation while pointing to the main formation of the Luo family's army on the opposite side and said. Speaking of which, it was ashamed that his subordinates didn't even know that the army of the Luo family appeared behind him last night, and if he hadn't personally checked the situation in the rear early this morning, he wouldn't have known that the other party had followed. However, the strange thing is that under such circumstances, the other party did not carry out a surprise attack, but slowly lined up in the rear.

"It seems that the other party is planning to slowly follow us and wait for the rear, looking for an opportunity to attack!" Saeki Weijiao didn't see the Luo family's intentions for the time being, but Shimazu Takahisa saw it at a glance. The Kyushu Eagles obviously did not intend to fight with them, but chose to delay tactics and then seek opportunities to attack.

The main formation of the Luo family's army is directly located on a mountainside next to the mountain road in the rear, condescending, and the formation is surrounded by a square surrounded by a curtain painted with the black eagle family pattern of the Luo family. Above the curtain. The golden black eagle flag stands prominently there. Without thinking too much, at this moment, the Kyushu Eagle Luo Clan Zhengliang himself must have been in this formation.

Facing the Luo family's army in the rear, all the generals of the tripartite alliance are now gathered here in this formation to discuss how to deal with the Luo family's army.

"Luo Zhengliang's use of troops is unpredictable, and we have all neglected this, but now we are not discussing why the enemy army is in trouble, but how our army should deal with it next?" Shimazu Takahisa said in a deep voice.

As soon as Shimazu Takahisa said this, everyone in the Saeki family in the military tent was a little ashamed. After all, this time the army of the Luo family suddenly appeared in the rear. It was led by the lax vigilance of the Saeki family army behind the apse. And before, the Saeki family left Saeki Zhenzhong and others to stay in the city to block the pursuit of the Luo family's army, but now the Luo family's army has followed so quickly, although I don't know what happened to Saeki Zhenzhong, but at this time it has been said that Saeki Zhenzhong's blocking mission has failed. This qiē is all a problem of their Saeki family. Of course, in addition to being ashamed, Saeki Weijiao also secretly worried about the safety of his younger brother Saeki Zhenzhong.

Compared with the shame of the Saeki family, whether it is the Shimazu family or the Ito family, they are indeed dissatisfied with the Saeki family in their hearts at this time. Among them, Ito Yoshisuke was the strictest, and at this time he even regretted his support for the Saeki family this time.

Facing Shimazu Takahisa's words. The generals in the military tent were silent at this time.

"Judging from this, it is likely that the Luo army just captured Yongcheng last night. The soldiers must have been exhausted from the night march, and I think that if our army takes advantage of this opportunity to fight a decisive battle, it will not be for nothing. Tadanaga Shimazu spoke.

"Aren't our troops tired? And with the strength of 5,000 troops, can it defeat the enemy's army of nearly 10,000? Besides, the opponent's main general is still the Kyushu Eagle of the world's famous generals. As soon as Shimazu Tadanaga said this, some of the Ito family's retainers immediately objected.

Previously, when he fought with the army of the Luo family in the territory of the Saeki family of the Bungo Kingdom, more than 2,000 people had been killed, and more than 2,000 people were injured and unable to fight, and the original army of the tripartite alliance of tens of thousands of people was only more than 6,000 people when they retreated (among the more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, some of them chose to stay in Yongcheng and did not retreat with the army, and the remaining wounded soldiers who followed the retreat of the army could not participate in the battle at this time, so the total number of the tripartite alliance was only more than 5,000 at this time).

"Even if you are not defeated, you will not be afraid of it, it is a big deal to die on the battlefield, if your Excellency is afraid, just flee, you will not retreat in the next place anyway." Tadanaga Shimazu immediately sarcastically said.

"You?"

"Shut up." Seeing that their subordinates were about to quarrel, Takahisa Shimazu and Yoshisuke Ito interrupted their dispute by speaking at the same time. The two Shimazu Tadanaga, who were arguing, also realized the gaffe and hurriedly apologized.

Seeing that the two were quiet, Ito Yoshisuke and Shimazu Takahisa glanced at each other again, and now both sides had something to say, so Ito Yoshisuke motioned to Shimazu Takahisa to speak first. Immediately, Shimazu Takahisa said in a deep voice: "If we want to fight, our army's chance of victory is still below one percent, so the only way out is to fight and retreat now, and continue to retreat along the mountain road to the direction of Matsuo Castle, but this move will definitely be pursued by the enemy, so cover up, our army will definitely be defeated, and suffer heavy losses." Therefore, it is necessary to arrange for the people who are going to die as the army of the palace to block the offensive of the Luo family's army. ”

"That's right!" Yoshisuke Ito, who was on the side, immediately agreed.

As soon as the two governors said this, the generals immediately looked silent, but they also accepted this construction, but who wants to be the rear army of this palace, this is a mortal task.

At this moment, Saeki Yukyo's face was slightly pale, and there was a hint of hatred in his eyes when he looked at Shimazu Takahisa and Ito Yoshisuke. Obviously, these two people have tacitly connected in line in Fang Cai's gaze, and the purpose of their tandem is naturally to let the Saeki family army come to the palace. After all, since the moment of evacuating the old nest and using the city, the Saeki family is like a rootless Ping, and they will have to rely on the Ito family and the Shimazu family in the future, and Saeki Weijiao's son and grandson are still in the other party's territory at this time, although with the fall of Matsuo Castle, the life and death of the son and grandson are uncertain, but there is always a glimmer of hope. In this case, Saeki Yukyo can't turn against the Shimazu family and the Ito family now.

Thinking of this, Saeki Weijiao's eyes flashed with a look of resignation, and now he thought to himself, instead of being actively assigned the mission on his shoulders, it is better to take the initiative to admit this responsibility, and die on the battlefield in the future, but also achieve his own name of bravery, and glorify the family, if the son-in-law and grandson are not dead, then with the way Shimazu Takahisa and Ito Yoshiyu do things, they will naturally be courteous.

After thinking about this qiē, Saeki Weijiao immediately stood up and said, "Let me lead the team to the rear of the palace." ”

"Huh?"

As soon as Saeki Weijiao's words came out, everyone was shocked, in fact, who did the queen of the palace choose to belong to, after a little thought, everyone already knew in their hearts, but they didn't expect that at this moment Saeki Weijiao took the initiative to stand up.

At this moment, everyone in the Shimazu family and the Ito family immediately admired Saeki Weijiao's initiative to take on the heavy responsibility. But the members of the Saeki family, who are subordinates of Saeki's religion, scolded in their hearts at this time, and this time they were killed by the lord.

"Saeki-sama, why are you doing this?" Shimazu Takahisa was naturally very satisfied with Saeki Weijiao taking the initiative to take on the important task of the queen without his persuasion, but on the surface, Shimazu Takahisa still had to keep it, so he quickly stood up, walked to Saeki Weijiao in two steps, reached out and pressed Saeki Weijiao's shoulder, and said in a deep voice. Looking at his face, it really seems to have the intention of retaining.

"Shimazu-sama doesn't need to say much, everyone is afraid of Luo's Masahiro, but I, Saeki Sun Saburo, am not afraid." Saeki replied categorically.

"Good! Good! It's Saeki-sama! At this time, Ito Yoshisuke also walked over and praised directly with admiration on his face. Immediately, in the military tent, the generals of the Shimazu family and the Ito family expressed their admiration to Saeki Yukyo. Only the generals on the Saeki side remained silent, and a few even left the military tent with disdain and dissatisfaction on their faces.

Among the tripartite alliances, the teams of the Shimazu family and the Ito family were moved when they heard that the Saeki Yui team was willing to be the queen of the palace and fought for a livelihood for their own army. On the contrary, the Saeki family's army was full of rumors. (To be continued......)
