On the evening of August 14, the ninth year of the Astronomical Ninth.

After simply cleaning up the burned Wanheli City, the sky was already dark. Zhengliang summoned everyone to discuss how to defend the city. At this time, a detective was gently carried by two guards to the entrance of the military tent.

After learning about Hunatong, who was promoted to a close servant by Masayoro for his military achievements, he immediately walked into the tent to report: "Sir, the detectives who came from Yunoo Castle urgently asked for a meeting. And the detectives seem to be exhausted."

"Hmm?" After hearing Hu's words, Masaru's heart skipped a beat. Could something happened to Yunoo Castle?

So he quickly walked outside the tent. Under the hazy moonlight, he could see the blood on the face of the detective lying on the wooden board, obviously coming to report the news with injuries.

"Big... Master" was told Run for a long time and was carrying a wound. The Detective Fan's body had already shown signs of exhaustion and his voice was a little weak. Masayoro quickly stopped the other party from continuing to speak, took the clear water handed over by the samurai behind him, and slowly poured the water into Detective Fan's mouth.

"Sir..." After Jinfan drank the water, his complexion slowly turned, "Yu...Noo Castle... was attacked by sneak attack."

What? Zhengliang was stunned. Something happened. Yinuo, who was behind Zhengliang, shivered when he heard the words of the Detective Fan.

"Let me tell me, what's going on?" Zhengliang asked anxiously.

So, under Masara's questioning, the detective intermittently told the story of the sneak attack on Yunoo Castle. It turned out that this morning, when Masara led the Luo family troops to the Akasaka family, he was seen by the Donoo family spy hidden nearby. Such important information was of course immediately passed on to Donoo Keisun in Tanoo Castle.

After confirming that there were not many troops in Yunoo City, Donoo's main Donoo family immediately gathered hundreds of troops in the territory, and at the same time joined forces with dozens of troops from the Iron Shi family to secretly cross the border this afternoon to launch a sneak attack on Yunoo City. Fortunately, the regular alert guards of Yunoo City discovered the enemy not far from the city gate in advance, and closed the city gate before the enemy arrived at the city gate. Seeing that the sneak attack failed, the Donoo family and the coalition forces of the Iron Shiron Shi family had to start cage.

There were only 20 regular foot soldiers in Yunoo City and 25 peasant soldiers who had just returned in the afternoon. Even with the city guard general Luo Shimasaki and several reconnaissance players, there were only 50 people in total. As the enemy continued to attack the city gate outside the city, Luo Shimasaki had to send people to sneak out of the city from the wall for help. Donono Keisong had long expected that the people in the city would ask for help, so he secretly ambushed many people outside the city. The four reconnaissance players who had just come down from the city wall were immediately attacked and finally got out of the reconnaissance players who arrived at Wanhari Castle to report the news.

After listening to the report from the detective, Zhengliang waved his hand and signaled to carry him down and settle him down. Then he walked back to the tent without a sound. Ping Zuo Zhengzhong and Yinuo behind him looked at each other and followed him carefully.

"Pu" As soon as he entered the military tent, Yinuo pulled out the furious man and then knelt directly behind Zhengliang. "Your Highness, this time it was completely negligence of his subordinates. If he hadn't left without authorization, he would not have been attacked by the other party so easily. Please allow him to apologize."

Zhengliang turned around and walked quickly to Yinuo's face, kicked the furious cat in Yinuo's hand away with one kick, and then roared, "You deserve to die! But now shut up and kneel here for me before I have ordered."

Masara was indeed very angry. Before the war, Ichino had clearly asked him to take charge of Yunoo Castle, that is, he was responsible for summarizing the information from various places, and even closely watching the movements of nearby powerful people. As a result, his departure caused the other detectives in Yunoo Castle to lack unified jurisdiction and supervision, which made the other party not know under his nose. Once Yunoo Castle's throat position was seized by the other party, the Luo family's territory would be divided into two pieces. With limited military strength, he would have to give up some of the already occupied territory. It seems that Donoo Keisun is not stupid either. Obviously, he also saw the strategic position of Yunoo Castle and inadvertently disrupted the Luo family's strategic deployment.

"Zhengzhong, what are you doing?" Zhengliang also knew that he had to stay calm at this time, so he calmed down slightly and turned around and looked at Taizuo Masato and asked.

"Your Highness, from the distance, I am closest to Yunoo Castle, including Mizui Castle and Notaka Town. However, the other party has blocked the road from Yunoo Castle to Mizui Castle. The first thing I need to do is to defend these two places. Once the other party knows the reality of these two places, I am afraid that they will pretend to be besieging Yunoo Castle while sneaking into these two places above."

"No, the other party will not be like this. Yunoo Castle is the throat position. Even if you capture these two places before taking Yunoo Castle, the other party is in a dangerous situation. What's more, although the Dono family and the Takashi family have joined forces, the number of troops is limited, and they have to cage the city and block the road. Obviously, the number of people has reached its limit," Masayoro said with a frown.

"But, these two places must be guarded. Now that the road is blocked, Notaka Town must not know the situation in Yunoo Castle," said Masata Hirasa worriedly, "Your Highness, we can first send someone to inform Tadajiro of Mizui Castle to strengthen defense, and at the same time, let someone go back to Notaka Town along the path that Shingoro had opened, and inform Yukisuke there to do a good job of defense."

"Well" Masayoro lowered his head and thought, "No, it's just that the defense is too passive. The longer the time is delayed, the more unfavorable it is for us. Moreover, once the Ukura family in the north knows the situation here, there may be some abnormal movements. At that time, even the places that our family has finally built will be handed over."

"Then..." Masato Tatsutaki couldn't think of a better way for a while.

"If this is the case, people still have to be sent out, but not to let Tadajiro and Yukisuke defend, but to mobilize the peasant soldiers to advance towards Yunoo Castle," Masarara decided.

"Your Highness, this is a very risky situation. You may be ambushed by the other party on the way," advised Masato Pinzo.

"Hmph, they don't have a chance," Masayora said with a snorkeling, "Is this closer to the Donoya Castle in the Donoya family?"

"Ah? Your Highness, aren't you going to rescue Yuno O Castle immediately?" It's obvious that Masaraki meant to attack the Dono's main castle directly, so Masatara Heisa was very surprised.

"If you believe in Masahide, he will definitely be able to persevere until the arrival of the other two reinforcements. Besides, we are closer to Tano Oo Castle, right? Once Donono Keisun knows that Guichou was attacked, he will definitely withdraw his troops and return to the rescue. At that time, Yuno Oo Castle's defensive pressure was greatly reduced. What is beneficial to us now is that the other party does not know that we have destroyed the Akasaka family." Masarara secretly made various favorable conditions while secretly making a pity for Luo's Masahide. In this situation, it seems that he can only sacrifice Luo's Masahide.

"Your Highness is planning to set off immediately tonight?" Pingzuo Masatochao also knew that Masatoliang's current approach was the most correct, so he no longer advised him.

"Yes, I will lead most of the people here to set off later and kill the Dono family's main castle overnight." Masayoro nodded and said, "I will leave it to you after I leave. Take advantage of the night to pick some thatch from outside the city and come back, and then find someone to tie the thatch into a human shape and put it on the city wall. Be careful not to let the people outside see the details clearly, so that the pirates outside and the Uekura family opposite the river should be temporarily confused. I will arrange for Tadajiro to send some reinforcements as soon as possible, just stick to the city. No matter how the other party provoked, don't leave the city."

"Yes, Your Highness" Masato Tatsutaki also knew that it was time to compete for a few seconds, so he immediately bowed to take the order.

After "Yinuo" ordered Ping Zuo Zhengzhong, Zhengliang looked at Yinuo who was kneeling beside him.

"Your Highness" heard the head of the family call him, Yinuo immediately knelt down and came to Zhengliang.

"Send several reconnaissance groups to inform Tadajiro in Mizui Castle, Yusuke in Notakacho and Sun Goro in Iron Bay. Let Tadajiro find ways to mobilize a team of more than 100 people, and half of them come to Mangari Castle to help defend the castle. The remaining people immediately go to Yunoo Castle for rescue and tell Tadajiro that if the farmers from the former Akasaka family are unwilling to mobilize, they will be killed without any consequences." Masaro said viciously.

"Yes, Your Highness" Yinuo, who kept lowering his head and listening respectfully, shivered all over his body when he heard this.

"Now the road leading to Yunoo Castle and Notaka Town have been blocked by the other party, so the staff of Yukisuke who were informed of Yukisuke's all-round way to Notaka Town along the forest path secretly opened by Shingoro. Let Yukisuke mobilize a force of more than 100 soldiers and also go to Yunoo Castle for rescue." Masara ignored Ichino's reaction and continued to order, "At the same time, I would like to find a way to notify Sun Goro in Otanya Bay and let him lead the navy to attack Sayama Castle on the shore. The staff of the third route will set off immediately. You will be responsible for this matter. If any of them does not receive my order, you should come to see me."

"Yes, Your Highness, even if the minister dies, he will complete the task." Yinuo immediately kowtowed and promised. He has given up his sacrifice now. This time, his family is facing such a crisis, and he should have committed suicide and apologized. Now seeing that the head of the family intends to make a meritorious service, he will of course complete it even if he fights to death.

"Okay, you all go down and arrange it. Zhengzhong, I will set out in a quarter of an hour. You can prepare military rations for me immediately," Zhengliang said at the end.

"Yes, Your Highness", the two of them took the order and left.
