In the autumn of the fifth year of the Great Xia calendar, a partial division of the Great Xia Dynasty broke out a great battle with the main force of the Dongying Shogunate on Kyushu Island and decided the ownership of Kyushu Island.

A cavalry of the Xia army marched quickly along the eastern road.

Yang Zaixing led hundreds of cavalry of the Beiwei Army, encountered thousands of people from the Mogami family, and directly rushed forward, crushing the samurai and ashigaru of the Mogami family!

Yang Zaixing alone was among the samurai and ashigaru, rushing back and forth six times, killing and injuring hundreds of people, and the morale of the samurai and ashigaru dropped significantly!

"This person's force is simply incredible!"

Mogami Yoshimitsu led his troops to block Yang Zaixing, but was defeated by Yang Zaixing's personal force and hundreds of cavalry of the Beiwei Army.

The vanguard led by Yoshimitsu Mogami could only flee in the wilderness.

Yang Zaixing marched forward, whether he encountered the ninja squad or the samurai vanguard, he was all defeated!

When Yang Zaixing collected his troops, he had killed thousands of enemy soldiers, and there were fallen swords and spears everywhere.

"The samurai of Dongying are just like that."

Yang Zaixing broke the enemy army twice in a row, and he was indeed qualified to say such things.

The Mogami family met Yang Zaixing, but was slaughtered by one side.

The back-to-back army of the eighth order is almost invincible in skirmishes.

As soon as Mogami Yoshimitsu sent his troops, he was immediately hit hard, and the other daimyo relied on the mountain to defend.

These daimyos came to their senses, fought on the flat ground, and encountered the Xia army, which was only a dead end, and only by using the mountains could it be possible to block the offensive of the Xia army.

Yang Zaixing fought all the way to the mountains near Iwaya Castle.

Oda Nobunaga's deployment, with Iwaya Castle as the main position, was deployed along the mountain, and resolutely did not engage the Xia army in the plain terrain.

When Yang Zaixing approached the eastern extension of Iwaya Castle, the sound of firecrackers rang out, and the ambush troops laid by Date Masamune rose in all directions!

Yang Zaixing looked around, and a group of samurai and ashigaru killed from all directions in the ravine!

Fighting in the mountains is the terrain that the Dongying arms are good at.

"Destroy the vanguard general of the Xia Army, hit its morale!"

Date Masamune has already let go, and if he loses, a group of their daimyo will not only lose their territory, but they may also be executed, or there will be other punishments, so it is better to give it a go.

The dog will jump over the wall when he is in a hurry!

The Date family's cavalry artillery team was recruited from Mutsu Province, and after restoring a certain size, Date Masamune felt that he could do it again.

The Hojo family, the Mogami family, and the Satake family each sent a team of samurai and ashigaru to participate in the siege of Yang Zaixing.

And the forces of the southern family were captured because the governor of the family, so the dragons were leaderless and were annexed by Date Masamune.

Yang Zaixing faced several times the strength of his own, and his face did not change: "My palace, go back!" ”

Yang Zaixing immediately shot horizontally, the samurai came to attack, one shot went down, blood splashed, and the two samurai were killed by Yang Zaixing in seconds, flying backwards!

Even a high-level warrior was still killed by Yang Zaixing's spear!

The other samurai and ashigaru saw this fierce general, and they were in disbelief and did not dare to move forward.

"No matter how powerful he is, it's just one person, take him down!"

Date Masamune, as a strong enemy of Chu Wu's joint battle on Kyushu Island, also dared to take risks, saw Yang Zaixing's hypocrisy, and led the entire Dongying rare horse iron artillery team to fire a volley at Yang Zaixing!

"Drive!"

Date Masamune holds the reins with one hand and pulls the trigger of the arquebus with one hand!

The burning arquebus ignited the black powder, and with a gunshot and a recoil that made Date Masamune tremble, Yang Zaixing's war horse was shot by Date Masamune!

Yang Zaixing stabilized his body, fought on foot with a spear in his hand, swept in all directions, and repelled the besieged samurai and ashigaru!

The cavalry fired a salvo, and many of the cavalry of the Beiwei Army were also hit by the iron cannons.

The back-mounted army turned around and mounted and fired, and also harvested the cavalry of the cavalry iron artillery team.

"Kill!"

The cavalry of the back army in the front row held a long axe and cut a bloody path!

"General, let's go!"

A cavalryman of the Beiwei Army brought a spare war horse and urged Yang Zaixing to retreat.

In case Yang Zaixing is surrounded by Date Masamune's cavalry iron artillery team, with the armor-piercing ability of the iron cannon, even a fierce general will die for life.

Yang Zaixing turned over and got on the horse, clamped the horse's belly, and highlighted the encirclement!

"Ambushed with 10,000 people, and let him go!"

Date Masamune is angry.

Yang Zaixing was able to retreat in the siege of the Dongying warriors and ashigaru, and such an ability was not trivial.

"Their army is coming, we better go back and set up as soon as possible."

Daimyo such as Yoshishige Satake and Hojo Masa came over and persuaded Date Masamune to defend.

"If you just defend and don't actively take the offensive, you will only lose."

Date Masamune looked farther away than daimyo such as Yoshishige Satake and Hojo Masasa.

Defensive warfare is undoubtedly very easy for a civilization with a large national strength, while for a weak civilization, defensive warfare is likely to be consumed by the opponent.

That's why Date Masamune will take the initiative to look for opportunities again and again.

However, Date Masamune did not find the right opportunity.

Yang Zaixing turned back and joined Yue Fei, while Yue Fei and Chu Wu's army, advancing along the eastern mountains, had reached the eastern hills of Iwaya City!

The four islands of Dongying were mountainous, and the Japanese army of Iwaya Castle relied on the mountains and rocks for defense, building earthen ramparts and arrow towers to form the second "Yuankou defense line".

Iwaya Castle has become a large castle with Ichinomaru, Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and a castle tower.

On the outskirts of Iwaya Castle, there are also legions of various daimyos.

The area around Iwaya Castle has become an iron wall.

Oda Nobunaga mobilized the power of the country, gathered samurai and ashigaru millions in the main castle of Iwaya Castle and the outskirts, and fought to the death.

Many daimyo had already heard of the "brutality" of the Xia army - some daimyo had been captured or beheaded by the Xia army.

The Xia army captured the southern Qingzheng alive and demanded that the southern family surrender their land, which alarmed many daimyos.

If the Kyushu Great War fails, they may have to reconsider their position.

Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi Hashiba, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Tadayoshi, Uesugi Kenshin, Shimazu Yoshihisa, and Brand, the big men of the Kyushu Island battlefield, looked to the north and remained silent for a long time.

Tokugawa Ieyasu broke his silence: "Perhaps we can abandon the island of Kyushu, retreat to Honshu, and wait for the situation to change." Emperor Xia and the Great Khan of the Golden Family are fighting at the moment, if Emperor Xia is defeated, or the soldiers and horses are not enough to defeat the Golden Family, the soldiers and horses that attack Kyushu Island will be transferred, and when the time comes, we will recover Kyushu Island, and we will definitely respond to it. ”

"You're too weak. If we don't hit them hard, the Central Plains will think that we are weak, retreat this time, and come back next time. ”

Oda Nobunaga did not approve of Tokugawa Ieyasu's tortoise tactics.

"I need the forces of the Maritime Alliance. The four islands of Dongying are occupied by the Xia army, and you will not have a good time. ”

Oda Nobunaga asks Brand for reinforcements.

"Our maritime alliance is about to conquer the Mayan Kingdom and the Aztec Empire, and when the conquest is completed, reinforcements may be sent."

"Do you know that the coaches of the Xia Army this time are Bai Qi, Yue Fei, and Le Yi, and they are not easy generals to mess with. If the Maritime Alliance wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, then it will be you who will despair in the future. ”

Oda Nobunaga threw off his robe and walked down the castle tower with his subordinates such as Shiba Hideyoshi, Akechi Mitsuhide, Shibata Katsuie, Ashikaga Takaji, Minamoto Yorito, Minamoto Yoshitsune, and Kusunoki Masanari.

"Lord Oda, what are you doing here?"

"Meet the enemy!"

Oda Nobunaga left in a huff, leaving behind Brand of the Sea Alliance, as well as other daimyos.

Yoshihisa Shimazu took the brothers of the Shimazu family downstairs.

Uesugi Kennobu, Takeda Tadayoshi and others also left one after another.

Now in the attic of the castle tower, only Tokugawa Ieyasu and Brand are left.

Tokugawa Ieyasu said meaningfully: "Your Excellency Brand, your maritime alliance is nothing more than wanting to wait until the Great Xia Dynasty, the Golden Family, and our Dongying are defeated, and then wait for the opportunity to move. But have you ever thought that if the Xia army gets stronger and stronger the more they fight......"

Brand's eyes lit up.

Sure enough, both Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, as the ceiling of civilization, saw the intentions of the maritime alliance.

The Eastern Great Xia Dynasty, the Central Golden Family, and the Western Crusaders fought fiercely, while the Maritime Alliance had been expanding and colonizing, waiting for the right time.

There are five more important figures in the Sengoku period, two are Kenshin Uesugi and Shingen Takeda of the "Dragon and Tiger", and the three are Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi (Hashiba Hideyoshi), and Tokugawa Ieyasu, representing the ceiling of the Sengoku period.

They saw the intentions of the Maritime Alliance, and they were also outraged by it.

The Maritime Alliance's sitting and watching the tiger fight made them very dissatisfied.

Brand said: "The Great Xia Dynasty was very greedy, and its troops were divided into four routes, all the way to the four islands of Dongying, all the way to the Great Yue Kingdom, all the way to the Donghu Kingdom, and their main force, to conquer the Hanzhong region. No dynasty can fight on the fourth front, and it will become stronger and stronger. When the time comes, it will be the fighter plane sent by our Maritime Alliance, which will help you restore the shogunate, as long as you listen to our United States. ”

"You mean let's be watch dogs?"

"Your Excellency Tokugawa, please don't say it so badly. We would love to work with you. ”

As a player of the United States and the leader of the Fire Dragon Legion, Brand knows the importance of using the four islands of Dongying to balance the Central Plains Dynasty.

"Beware of counterproductives, playing with fire and setting yourself on fire...... If the Xia army captures Kyushu Island and you decide to send troops, maybe we can cooperate. ”

Tokugawa Ieyasu left with veteran ministers such as Tadaji Sakai, Naomasa Ii, and Tadakatsu Honda.

"That's what the council means, and I can't help it."

Brand also disagreed with the decision of the Council of the Maritime Alliance, but the Council was in charge of administration, taxation, and the salaries of the various regiments of the Maritime Alliance, so Brand was also subject to their orders.

Brand looked to the north alone.

In the north, 860,000 troops went south, and the Xia army, which provoked the Kyushu Great War, arrived in the north of Iwaya Castle!

Xia Jun's dragon banner was displayed, and the black pressure was overwhelming, which was depressing and suffocating.

The army of the Great Xia Dynasty was mainly black and white, of which black was the most common, which was extremely strict and oppressive, which was terrifying.

Oda Nobunaga, Shiba Hideyoshi, Shimazu Yoshihisa and others can already see the boundless military formation of the Xia army.

The Japanese army deployed in the area of Iwaya Castle is also boundless.
