As Mori Yuan had predicted, after landing off the coast of Aki Province that night, the soldiers of the various teams who had been on the troop carrier for a day during the day had been holding back for a long time (the main combat strength during the day was still the standing naval army and temporary peasant soldiers, and the various ashigaku teams and other military forces of the army were only used as reserve support, and most of the people were forced to rest on the ship).

On the Saeki Prefecture (also known as Sato-gun) side of Aki Province, after the 5th Standing Ashigaru Squadron under the command of the executive species and commander landed, they immediately headed straight for their destination under the guidance of the Roche family detective and Black Hawk, who had been waiting at the landing site for a long time, and at the end of the night, Onomon Mountain Castle, Fujifuo Castle, and Katsuyama Castle west of Saeki County were taken one after another, until in the morning, due to the discovery of the defenders in the castle, the 5th Standing Ashigaru Squadron's army of more than 4,000 people stopped at Sakurao Castle. However, since the defenders of Sakurao Castle were only about 100 at this time, it was expected that the castle would fall within today's time.

As long as Sakurao Castle is taken, then the main resistance of Saeki County will be basically eliminated, and in the case that most of the troops of the local wealthy families have been transferred to Itsukushima, it is estimated that it will not take much time for the Fifth Standing Ashigaru Team to completely control these local wealthy families who lack troops and major generals, and at that time, Saeki County will also fall into the hands of the Luo family.

On the side of Numata and Takamiya-gun, after landing with the First Standing Ashigaru Brigade under Kinoshita Masanao, they quickly took Nihoshima Castle, Kusatsu Castle, and Kanayama Castle (also known as Silver Castle, named after a nearby gold and silver mine) under the leadership of Kenban and Black Hawk, who had been waiting nearby. It means that the Luo family occupies the mineral deposits here). It was the morning of October 2nd. The army of more than 4,000 people of the First Standing Ashigaru Team has entered the territory of the Kumagai family in Takamiya County.

The governor of the Kumagai family, Nobunao Kumagai, was the general of the Maori family's naval army, and in yesterday's naval battle, Nobunao Kumagai and his important retainer Misu Boqing had been killed in a fierce battle and sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. The generals of the Maori family and the navy who were also killed in that naval battle were: Nomi Munekatsu of the Maori family; Mori Iekawauchi Police Solid Kodama Shofang, Iida Yoshitake; Innoshima Murakami Murakami Yoshimitsu Murakami Yoshitada, Murakami Yoshitada, Tomigi Akimitsu; Noshima Murakami Murakami Mitsuyoshi Murakami and Murakami Yoshimitsu; Come to the island Murakami family to live in the holy luck; Kono's Akahara Tsuyoshi. It can be said that in the naval battle on October 1, many naval forces in the entire Seto Inland Sea, including the main forces and main generals of the Mori family, the Mishima Murakami family, and the Kono family, were all wiped out by the Roche family's navy.

The governor of the family, Nobunao Kumagai, brought the main force of the family to the battle of Itsukushima, and the family was empty. And in the case of a surprise attack in the morning, the three brothers Kumagai Takanao, Kumagai Naokiyo, and Kumagai Mitsuma, who stayed in Kumagai Home Castle, were not opponents at all, Takamatsu Castle was captured in an instant, and the three Kumagai Takanao brothers were directly cut and killed, and the men of the Kumagai clan could not escape the fate of being slaughtered, and then the first standing ashigaru team took advantage of the situation to take the Kumagai family's Eshita Castle and Omori Castle, so that the Kumagai family was wiped out, and the main resistance in Numata County and Takamiya County was completely controlled.

Subsequently, Kinoshita Masanao sent people to block the borders of Numata and Takamiya with Yama and Yoshida respectively, so as to prevent the Maori retainers in Numata and Takamiya counties from fleeing to Yamayama and Yoshida counties as displaced people. At the same time, he also sent troops to attack some local tycoons in Numata County and Takamiya County, or forced them to surrender. or destroy them outright.

In the area of Azuki-gun, Kamo-gun, and Shatin gun, after landing, Yoshida Shigemasa led the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Brigade of more than 4,000 troops to attack Yano Castle and Ariki Castle, which were empty on the coast of Azu-gun, and after taking these two cities, they captured the Goryuyama Castle of the Sano Asonuma family in Anui-gun overnight, and because this place began to enter the mountainous area dominated by mountain roads, after running for most of the night, in the morning, the 2nd Standing Ashigaru Team arrived at the Akagiyama Castle of the Shinon Asonuma family located on the border between Azu-gun and Kamo-gun. As long as Akagi Mountain Castle is taken, the second standing ashigaru team can go straight to the Amanoya territory in the northern region of Kamo County.

At this time, the Governor of the Shineng Azenuma family, Hirohide Azenuma, and the Amano family, Amano Solemn, Amano Takaoka and others were still on the way back to their home territory. Maori Yuan is also a thoughtful person (it can be said that Zhengliang and Maori Yuan have their own calculations, Zhengliang considers how to finally calculate Maori Yuan, and Maori Yuan is to see the move, and consider the greatest benefit anytime and anywhere, even when it is at a disadvantage), when he evacuated Itsukushima by boat, he considered that the territories were likely to be attacked by unknown forces, so he also took away the main personnel of Anyi Kingdom, Bigo Kingdom, and some of the main wealthy families in China. Only a few of the governors and retainers of the small wealthy families were left on Itsukushima (after all, the ships were limited, so the Maori Yuan could only take away the elite of his main retainers and bring some other slightly more important nobles as much as possible).

Although these people generally only followed a few retainers, and most of the troops they brought this time were left on Itsukushima, as long as they could rush back to their own territory as soon as possible, they would be able to organize another army in their own territory to resist the attack of unknown enemies. Although these people know the truth about the evacuation of Itsukushima overnight, and after the unknown enemy's army presses the border, some people will surrender to the unknown enemy, but at least these people have reached the speed of delaying the unknown enemy's invasion of Aki Province to a certain extent, so that Mori Yuan will also have enough time to organize a military force to counterattack the unknown invasion enemy.

Based on this consideration, not long after An Yiguo landed, Mao Liyuan met with these people alone and told them the truth about the overnight retreat. As Mao Li Yuan expected, some of the wealthy families were immediately dissatisfied, but after Mao Li Yuan said that this had saved everyone's lives by avoiding being besieged on Itsukushima, not to mention that his third son was still trapped on Itsukushima at this time, everyone finally couldn't complain about Mao Li Yuan. So, after consulting with these wealthy clans that night on how to deal with the invasion of unknown enemies, Maori Yuan fled separately from these many local wealthy clans.

It's just that even if these people were able to escape from Yan Island, with only a few people, even if they returned to the territory, the impact on the attack of the Luo family's various teams was limited, and the speed at which they moved forward was really much slower than the attacks of the Luo family's various teams. While many wealthy clans were still on their way back to their home territories, their territories had already been captured by the Luo family. As a result, many wealthy family governors and retainers became homeless ronins. (To be continued......)
