Chapter 910 Battle against Southern Kyushu
In the camp of the Magento family in the northern part of the Satsuma Kingdom of Southern Kyushu, Luo Huiliang and Jia Fei, the main general of the Luo family, explained the reason for deliberately postponing the meeting of the coalition.
Jia Fei listened in person, frowned and thought that the purpose of the young master postponed the meeting was indeed understandable, but it would also cause misunderstandings to despise other wealthy families. If you are not careful, it may also make it difficult for the coalition forces to work together. However, when you turn around and think about it, the situation of the wealthy families in the northern Satsuma area seems to be no longer qualified to complain. After all, this is a battle that concerns their life and death!
"My dear, don't worry, with the reputation and coalition power of our family, the Shimazu family, who had learned the news, were already considering whether to escape." At this time, Luo's Huiliang's close servant Manmanmaru said.
"Hmph, the Shimazu family is not that stupid!" Kafei said coldly after hearing this, "Don't underestimate the enemy. This time the Shimazu family did not hesitate to tear down the peace agreement formulated by the family. It is obviously determined to bring the entire Satsuma Country and even Osumi Country into their arms."
"Dear sir..."
"Okay, Wanmanmaru." Just when Wanmanmaru was still planning to refute Jia Fei's close friend, Luo Shi Huiliang immediately stopped talking. Then Luo Shi Huiliang bowed to Jia Fei and said, "What Lord Qinzhi said is right. This time, Shimazu family is coming in full force, and it seems that some Ming pirates along the coast have been invited to help. It is absolutely better than the mobs and monk soldiers of Kitakyushu at the time, and they must not underestimate each other. In this way, Lord Qinzhi, the time is almost over, so let's go to the meeting as soon as possible."
Then, a smile appeared on Luo Huiliang's face, and he didn't say anything to Jia Fei. He walked out of the awning, turned over and urged the horse to whip, and headed straight to the tent.
As Kafai thought, the generals had already sat down in the tent, waiting for the arrival of Luo's Huiliang. The deputy generals of the seventh permanent team of the Luo family, Shiga Yoshiki, Takeuchi Kuji, Anbubu Min, and Sano's Qinshige came together, while the two fathers and sons of the Rikikari Shige and Rikikari Shige in Kitasatsu; Qiejige and Ji'shige in Kitasatsu; Qiejige and Qiejige, Qiejige, and Qiejige. Qiejige, Qiejige, and the two brothers; Yukaka Kitahara, and Kafai Kitahara, and dozens of wealthy families, including Yukaka Kitahara, Kafai Kitahara, and Kafai, gathered to discuss tactics over and over again. At this time, the only empty part in the tent was the position of the main position and another position alongside the main position. When Kufairo and Kafai personally entered the tent, everyone immediately calmed down and bowed one after another.
"Everyone, there is no need to be too polite." After sitting in the two main seats with Jia Fei, Luo Family Huiliang replied with a smile. As for Luo Family Huiliang's several close servants, they also sat directly behind Huiliang at this time.
"I wonder what suggestions do you have for the launch of the battle here?" Luo Shi Huiliang continued. When he was out, Luo Shi Huiliang and Jia Fei discussed it. In the future coalition, Luo Shi Huiliang was the main force, and Jia Feizhi only took on the auxiliary duties. All the responsibilities for this time were borne by Luo Shi Huiliang. Therefore, this meeting was naturally hosted by Luo Shi Huiliang.
"Your Highness, as far as you can see, Shimazu family will definitely come to fight this time." Kitahara Yukazu looked at Kafir and smiled at Huiliang.
"Then, with the help of the Luo family army, our army will definitely win." Rikikari Shigeaki, who was standing beside him, immediately agreed. Then everyone in the tent also agreed.
"That's true." After hearing many words praising the powerful army of the Luo family, Huiliang nodded happily and said, "To be careful, I have something to say to you."
"Your Highness, I wish to hear the details."
"There is nothing else. It's just that the Shimazu family is your nemesis. You must think that this battle can determine the outcome, and then stop the invasion of the Shimazu family, and even regain the territory occupied by the Shimazu family before. If you really want this, please do your best and never underestimate the Shimazu family's military power." Luo Shiqiuliang immediately warned everyone, "Please be sure to obey the arrangement."
"Please rest assured, your highness, we will definitely obey the order and do our best." Everyone replied immediately. Everyone knew in their hearts that the Luo family planned to take this opportunity to help them win and show off their strength to the world, but at this time it was indeed the stage of their life and death, and they would definitely do their best. Of course, under certain conditions, they should still preserve their strength a little.
"It's so good. If someone doesn't obey the order or secretly delays the fighter plane to preserve his strength, please don't complain about the punishment from our family..." After saying that, Luo Shihuiliang turned his eyes to the map unfolded in the tent. This is a map of the troops stationed in the Shimazu family in the Zoe area, with red strokes on it. They are all about the deployment of some troops.
This time, the army that the Luo family launched was 500 regular troops from the seventh permanent ranks on the land, with 2,000 reserves, while the two armies had more than 4,000 people. The two armies had a total of nearly 7,000 people. Judging from the intelligence provided by the Intelligence Pavilion and the wealthy families, the Shimazu family had more than 10,000 troops in the Zoe area, but this time it was the Shimazu family attacking and they defended. In fact, as long as the coalition forces were stationed here, the Shimazu family still wanted to completely solve the wealthy families of the North Satsuma, so they could only attack here.
"Since that's the case, is it because you are temporarily sticking to the spot and not taking the initiative to attack?" Luo Shihui thought in his heart.
"Your Highness, do you have any suggestions for this time?" Everyone saw Luo Huiliang looking at the map with his whole body pouring on his body, so someone asked.
Luo Shi Huiliang did not answer the questions from everyone, but lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said, "What strategies do you have in this battle? Let's talk about it, don't be restricted."
"Yes." Everyone agreed immediately. After bowing deeply by Yukazu Kitahara, the largest in the Satsuma family, then solemnly walked to Luo Shihuiliang, kneeled on one leg, pointed to the map unfolded on the ground, and said, "Your Highness, we can stick to the camp. The Shimazu family came here this time, and naturally hoped to defeat us as soon as possible. As long as we can defend ourselves, the main force of the Shimazu family will be attracted here by then, and the rear of the Shimazu family will be empty."
"Will it be vacant?"
"Yes. At that time, our army sneaked into the enemy's back and took the opportunity to seize the enemy's fortifications in the Zoe area. What do you think?"
"Seize the Zoe area behind the enemy..." Luo Shi Huiliang pondered.
"Yes. The strategy we discussed with Jijino. As long as we take down the Zoe area, Shimazu's main force in front of our camp will lose its way out and the logistics cannot be guaranteed. We will definitely win a big victory." Ling Kazuaki also spoke at this time.
"What do you think, Lord Qinzhi?" Luo Huiliang turned his head and looked at Jia Fei who had not spoken aside and asked intimately.
"This plan is feasible!" Jia Fei agreed with the plan in person.
"So, let's follow this plan. Let's discuss the specific arrangements below." After pondering again, Luo Huiliang finally agreed to the plan.
So the meeting continued. However, the subsequent discussions always revolved around luring the Shimazu family around the camp and how to secretly send people to lurk to the Zoe area. Of course, if the enemy does not take the bait, they must be reconsidered. When night falls, the meeting basically ends, and the generals return to their own camps.
In Zoe's Shimazu family's army camp, after learning about the Luo family's attack and stationed in the Magen area, Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was the chief general, quickly called the generals together to discuss military information. Many big candles were lit in the camp, which was extremely hot. When they walked in, they followed the steam bath room. Everyone's faces were glistening.
"So, what the lord means is that you will fight to the death no matter what?" The one who was facing Shimazu Yoshihisa and was hesitant was the chief old Tadaro Ijiyuan.
"Yes, my father had already planned that as long as my family entered the North Satsuma area, the Luo family would intervene sooner or later, not to mention that my family would put the second brother, who was an envoy, under house arrest. My father had already made clear orders before he went out that if he met the Luo family, he would have to fight to death!" Shimazu Yoshihisa nodded and said. Although he had expected it in his heart, when he learned that the Luo family had taken the opportunity to go out, he also felt a sense of oppression.
"Since that's the case, let's discuss how to fight the Luo family and the wealthy coalition forces of the North Samo."
So, the Shimazu family also held an emergency military meeting overnight.
On the second day, military newspapers from the coalition forces of the Luo family and the North Samo Heroes finally came one after another, and the other party's military deployment had begun to show signs.
"It seems that the other party is planning to guard the camp to the death!" After reading the information, Shimazu Yoshihisa said with a frown.
"Then I can only attack according to the second plan discussed last night. Otherwise, I can only take a detour. In this way, the Zoe area in the left and back will be threatened by the other party." said Tadaro Ijiyuan.
"Since that's the case, then attack."
So, on the afternoon of the 20th, the Shimazu family finally launched an attack. The first team was one thousand cavalry led by Shimazu Yoshihisa, the third brother of Shimazu Yoshihisa, the second team was three thousand led by Tadaro Ijiyuan and Tadara Shimazu Tadara. The third team was three thousand led by Yoshiwa Kuroto and Uehara Naoki. The fourth team was two thousand led by Kawakami and Tadasuke Kawayama. The fifth team was two thousand led by Tadaro Shimazu brothers, Tadaro Shimazu family was the general general of the Shimazu family's army this time. This was the first time that the Shimazu family had a head-on encounter with the Luo family's army, so the generals of the Shimazu family were cautious. After all, the Luo family's army was too famous in the Kyushu area. But more people hoped to defeat the Luo family's army head-on and let the world officially know the reputation of the Shimazu family's army.
As Shimazu Yoshihiro's fourth brother Shimazu Ikyu also happened to be with the army this time, and he really hoped to participate in this decisive battle, but Shimazu Yoshihiro stayed behind Zoe. As for the second brother Shimazu Yoshihiro, Shimazu Yoshihiro also sent people to send people to the prison cell of Shimizu Castle in the rear of the rear. I wonder what my second brother would think after receiving this news?
