In the castle of Kuriyama in Kyushu Bungo Province, Masayo is facing the courtesy of his retainers.

Looking at the retainers, Masara first glared at the cavalry general Takasaka Masanobu, this guy needed to stay in the town of Hizen National School in Kyushu last year, so he was sent back to Kyushu after only participating in the early stage of the rebellion in the western area of the Luo family, so this time he was naturally the guy who was most active in requesting to fight. After glaring at Masanobu Takasaka, Masara glanced at Isono Motomasa, Kane Tane, Shigemasa Yoshida, and Tomohisa Oishi. Everyone was so looked at by the lord and the government that they immediately didn't dare to make a sound.

"What's the matter, why are they all silent?" Looking at the expressions of the guys in front of him at this time, Masashi asked a little angrily.

"My lord, I heard that Lord Nanhigo's kin-nao and Lord Nobuyin-sama, who was originally stationed here, have received your order, so I'll wait for ......" Under the forced gaze of Masayo, Yoshida Shigemasa led by him finally spoke.

"Hehe, you're so well informed, you even know this, Kansuke." After hearing this, Zhengliang immediately said with a smile.

"In!" When Kansuke Yamamoto heard the laughter of the lord Masayo, he immediately had a premonition that something was wrong.

"It seems that the Intelligence Pavilion really didn't do its duty, and even the orders I issued were leaked, and the Intelligence Pavilion didn't report back in time?"

"Yes, damn it!" When Kansuke Yamamoto heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, this matter is not an example, after going down, we will investigate it thoroughly, who leaked it, and punish it according to the laws of the territory." Masara said.

"Yes!"

"As for you, go down and wait for the order, it's your turn. Naturally, you will be notified. Masato decided again. And then. Zhengliang drove the retainers back to their respective barracks.

It's not that Masato is unwilling to arrange the list of retainers who will be in battle, just as what has just happened, Masaliang is worried that the premature announcement of the list of retainers will be leaked, and it will also cause conflicts among retainers over the question of who can go out. More importantly, Zhengliang has the intention to reserve the desire of these retainers to fight, and release them when they are out of battle. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned reasons, there is another important reason in the political conscience. And this reason is to affect the layout of the Luo family's southern Kyushu strategy this time.

It's just that it is not possible to wait like this in Lishan Castle all the time, otherwise the retainers and soldiers will be slackened in their desire to fight, so in the second year of Yongroku, 1559 AD, on February 19, the Luo family's army officially marched from Lishan Castle to Saeki's Meimuli Castle.

This time, the army of the Luo family was in battle, and Zhengliang was the general general. The military divisions of the army were Kansuke Yamamoto and Nagamassu Yoshioka. The main forces of this formation are 100 cavalry, 600 samurai, 200 cavalry, 100 heralds, 500 Black Hawk ninjas, 100 large cylinders (including five large cylinders), 500 reserve standing soldiers, and 400 temporary peasant soldiers. There are more than 2,000 people in total.

In addition, in addition to the main camp. There are also 400 members of the 1st Iron Artillery Standing Brigade under the command of Ander and Yamazaki Yoshimori, 300 reserve members, and 300 temporary peasant soldiers, a total of 1,000 people;

The Second Standing Brigade of the Army under the command of Yoshida Shigemasa, Takeuchi Hisamori, Kamiyo Katsuri, Ueda Shinji, and the One-Eyed Dragon Army of the Luo family, including 500 standing troops, 500 reserve standing troops, and 1,000 temporary peasant soldiers, a total of 2,000 people;

The Third Standing Brigade of the Army, led by Akuta, Asakura Sota, Fukuda Nobukiyo, Calais Tongnao, Hirochu Takasuke, and Kawada Yoshiro Kawada, included 500 standing troops, 500 reserve standing troops, and 1,000 temporary peasant soldiers, a total of 2,000 people;

The Fourth Standing Brigade of the Army, led by Tomohisa Oishi, Yoshikawa Kokei, Karen Shintsugu, Kalai Naritsune, Akao Kenta, Noda Nagabo, and Toshimatsu Nobukatsu, included 500 standing troops, 500 reserve standing troops, and 1,000 temporary peasant soldiers, a total of 2,000 people;

There are 1,000 logistics teams (including medical personnel, ordnance teams, etc.) led by Ashigaru General Toshimasa Honda, weapons officer Liu Ye, and military physician Ming Feng Hidemasa. As for the cavalry standing team under the command of Isono Yuanmasa and Takasaka Masanobu, as well as the second standing iron artillery team under the command of Irita Yoshimi, they went to other places because of other tasks. And the commander of the first standing team, Masanao Kinoshita, and the commander of the fifth standing team, carried out the kind and others because they had the task of territorial border defense, so they did not participate in the war this time.

However, even if there is no participation in the above-mentioned teams, the number of troops in this battle is more than 10,000. In addition, in addition to the participation of the army, there is also this naval army on the coastal sea.

Among them, 230 small boats, 53 Dutch ships (i.e., troop carriers or transport ships), 160 customs ships, one giant fortune boat, one small fortune boat, 1,200 standing naval forces, 2,000 standing naval reserves, and 1,800 temporary peasant soldiers (fishermen) under the command of Li Huamei, Murakami Daishi, Sun Goro, Oyano Tanemitsu, Kamitsuura Tanekyū, Ariura Town, Kusano Town, and others will serve as the main force of the naval army.

In addition, in accordance with the order of the lord and the lord of the government, in order to support the great war here, the third team of the navy led by the general of the navy army, Tao Masathu and others, also supported Li Huamei's navy, a small fortune boat, 20 ships, a standing navy of 500 people, a standing reserve of 500 sailors, and a temporary peasant army of 1,000 people. Similarly, Murakami Takeyoshi and others from the Navy Department also supported Li Huamei's fleet with a small fortune ship, 20 customs ships, a standing naval army of 500 people, a standing naval reserve of 500 people, and a temporary peasant soldier of 1,000 people.

In this way, Li Huamei's fleet had more than 9,000 troops, one large fortune ship (Li Huamei purchased a ship from the Ming Kingdom), three small fortune ships (the ships imitated by the local shipwrights of the Ming Kingdom and the Wa Kingdom in the Luo family), 53 Dutch ships (that is, troop carriers or transport ships), 200 customs ships, and 230 Xiaozao.

Not only that, in addition to all the army and navy of the Luo family at the same time, the Nanyi Yu Xitu Temple family in the Shikoku region was also invited to send reinforcements this time.

Due to the successive victories of the Luo family in the Battle of Itsukushima and the Western Raiders, they annexed most of the territory of the Ouchi family, the overlord of the Western Kingdom, and even took the opportunity to send troops to invade the territory of the Kono family, the overlord of Northern Iyu in the Shikoku region, which attracted the attention of the daimyo and wealthy clans in the Shikoku region. Under such circumstances, the Xitu Temple family, who was invited by the Luo family, would naturally send a large army to support.

This time, the head of the Xitu Temple family will be the adopted son of Xiyuan Temple, Xiyuan Temple Gongguang, and the Xiyuan Temple army that came to support is more than 2,000 people.

As a result, this time the Luo family went out to fight in the southern region of Bungo Province, and there were more than 20,000 people on land and water. (To be continued......)
