Just after Kato Duanzo reported the information of the Sagara family in Nanhigo, Kansuke Yamamoto on the side immediately suggested that Masarashi deliberately play the secret chess he had secretly arranged before.

"Hmm." Masarashi nodded when he heard this, obviously agreeing with Yamamoto Kansuke's opinion, but he didn't give an order immediately, but continued to ask Kato Duanzo, "Besides, what other changes are there after Nanhi?" ”

"In Shimo-Iksaki County, the forces of the Omiya Clan's Daojo Castle and Kenshida Castle seem to be moving, and the direction of the transfer is Kikuchi County."

"Lord, the Omiya family suffered a lot of injuries in the last night attack, and it is said that the governor of the Omiya Si family, Aso Weifeng, seems to be sick in bed, and this time it is Aso Weifeng's son-in-law Asu Weifeng who is responsible for leading the army of the Omiya Si family to resist the family." Kansuke Yamamoto also said immediately.

"No wonder he made such an unwise move!" Zhengliang shook his head and said after hearing this.

"My lord, this family can take advantage of the situation like this......" Kansuke Yamamoto immediately whispered his thoughts to Masara.

"Well, this plan is feasible, since almost most of the wealthy families in Feihou are now moving, then this family will add a fire to make Feihou's family more lively." After listening to Yamamoto Kansuke's words, Masarashi pondered for a moment and said, "Duanzo, do you have any connection with Higo's Ichijo sect?" ”

"My lord, there is no connection, but because of the previous cooperation with the Kikuchi family, this family actually knows some ways to contact the Ichichi family." Kato Danzo immediately replied.

"Lord, have you forgotten the group of monks and soldiers of Yamaga County who were sent out of the country by their own family?" At this time, Kansuke Yamamoto also said.

"Oh? Could it be that these monks have not left their own territory? Masarashi immediately asked suspiciously.

"Definitely. Lord, these monks have already entered Kikuchi County, and they should be about to enter Hezhi County at this time. In order to ensure that these monks and soldiers did not do anything harmful to their family after leaving their own territory. His Majesty sent a few scouts along the road to follow them secretly. Judging from the current situation, it seems that their purpose is precisely the county of Xiayicheng. Kansuke Yamamoto immediately replied.

"Ha Luha, God really helps me, I will repair each book according to your method later, and send them to the contacts of the Yixiang Sect and these monks and soldiers, so that we can ensure that the Yixiang Sect receives these letters." Masato said with a smile.

"It's just that, even so, it may not be able to make Yizong tempted." After Masara agreed to his suggestion. Kansuke Yamamoto immediately frowned.

"Hehe, I've already taken care of this matter, don't forget that there is still a name and a home there." Masashi said confidently.

"Name and home? Could it be that the lord is intending? Yamamoto Kansuke immediately came to his senses when he heard this.

"Yes, since it is a big event of Higo, it is naturally indispensable to name and family." Masarashi nodded.

"The lord is high." Kansuke Yamamoto said convincingly.

So, after arriving at the end of the day, Masarashi asked Yamamoto Kansuke to repair three letters on his behalf, and then asked Kato Duan to hide it and immediately gave them to the Nawa family, the monks who had just left Yamaga County, and the local Ichijo sect in Kikuchi County.

After Kato Duanzo went down with the letter, Masarashi immediately summoned Shinnosuke Akabane, Nobuyin of Enjoji, Tomohisa Oishi, Andel and others to discuss.

The content of the discussion was mainly about the application of the Western military formation, which the Luo family had been training for nearly a year, in this Kikuchi County raid.

The phalanx is a product of the era of cold weapons, and the famous ones are such as the Greek phalanx, the Macedonian phalanx, the Roman legionary phalanx, etc.

The reason why it is arranged in a phalanx. It is because in the era of cold weapons, the more important it is to pay attention to the thicker the platoon. The stronger the lethality of the array, there is another important reason, in the era of cold weapons, the general combat significance of the army is very weak, the looser the platoon, once the war on the side is unfavorable, the soldier will easily become a deserter.

In the era of hot weapons when arquebuses appeared, arquebuses also relied on the dense advantage of more people firing salvos, such as the Western phalanx, which was to use the central dense spear phalanx and the retreat and reload tactics of the two-wing musket team.

When it comes to the training of the queue, Prince Maurice and Gustav II are the most famous here. Both Prince Maurice and Gustav II marched in the ranks of the troops, rigorously trained. Their army can quickly form formations and change formations in various complex terrain conditions.

In the "Morris Drill Code" written by Prince Morris, there is even a detailed record of such queue training methods as the modern military training often shouted to turn left, turn to the right, march in unison, and walk in the right step. These training methods were later inherited by his excellent student Gustav II.

Later, with the maturity of firearms, flintlock pistols and bayonets, the army continued to innovate in the formation of linear queues, and queue training has been maintained.

Especially in the hands of the Prussians, who were known for their rigor and rigidity, Friedrich II the Great evolved the ranks to the extreme with strict military training.

Later, in the Napoleonic era, more flexible column tactics slowly replaced rigid linear tactics.

It was not until the advent of breech-loading rifled guns that the major armies in Europe finally eliminated such tactics as linear queues, and skirmisher line tactics began to prevail.

As for modern times, the appearance of airplanes, tanks, and the way of fighting in line has become synonymous with being shot in a queue.

The platoon training in the modern army has long been separated from its original military use and has been changed to a kind of training for the discipline and obedience of the troops. Of course, in this era of cold weapons, especially in the Western phalanx, queue training is absolutely effective.

This is the real reason why Masato began to practice platoon training from the first army he established after coming here. Of course, in the past, since there were no muskets, the role of platoon training was more to train the discipline and obedience of soldiers. Since the advent of large-scale iron cannons, Masarashi began to consciously let spear ashigaru, bow and arrow ashigaru, samurai, and iron cannon ashigaru cooperate with each other to practice the Western phalanx.

And the Kikuchi County that entered this time was dominated by the plains, which also provided the conditions for the western phalanx to go into battle. With the pace of the Luo family's struggle for hegemony in the future, the pace of wars will inevitably become more and more frequent, and Zhengliang is determined to try out the Western phalanx in this strategy, so as to prepare for future wars.

Of course, this is a real war, not an ordinary daily military exercise, and once it fails, it is likely to mean the defeat of the main army, so Masara only selected a part of the standing reserves this time to form a new phalanx. And the vast majority of the rest of the team still maintains the original formation, ready to enter the battle at any time. The so-called victory before the word of victory, the defeat of the first word, this is also because once the Western army is defeated, the rest of the formation can be quickly replenished.
