Chapter 845
At the end of November of the first year of Hongzhi.
Over the past period of time, the Luo family's army has made a lot of progress in the four countries, including the Changmen Kingdom, the Zhou Fangguo, and the Anyi Kingdom, as well as its surrounding areas.
In terms of the navy, with the continuous sweeping of the three navy troops in various places, the Seto Inland Sea, Anyun Beach, Zhoufang Beach and Yiyu Beach between Kyushu Island, Honshu Island, and Shikoku areas have completely become the exclusive control of the inland seas of the Luo family's navy.
As the war in this waters ended, the Luo family's naval army liberated the blockade of this sea area, and a large number of merchant ships that had stopped due to the previous war and some famous spy ships from various places quickly poured into this area. Masara was forced to open the sea ban. After all, the Seto Inland Sea waterway was the most important maritime business road in Japan. If it was blocked for a long time, it not only affected the commercial income of the Luo family and the collection of tolls, but also offended many merchant forces. Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, Masara finally issued an order to understand the ban. As for the leak of the situation in the Battle of Itsuki, anyway, as the Luo family attacked in the Seto Inland Sea, Xiguo and Yamano Road, the surrounding powerful names will be known by inference. Moreover, the various armies of the Luo family have also launched attacks, so there is no need to hide at this time.
After mastering the water trade route of Seto Inland Sea, the Luo family's naval army, while protecting the local waters, also sent people to assist various land troops in the coastal areas of Zhou, Nagato, Anyi, and Houguo to continue their strategy. At the same time, they also began to penetrate the Suitan Sea, which was contaminated by the Tanlu naval army of the Miyo family.
The navy army had defeated the main force of the local navy in the Battle of Itsukushima, so it made great progress in the strategy during this period. In comparison, the various armies on land were not so easy.
The first army where Aguda was located was raiding the Kameyama Castle in Otsu County of Nagato. At this time, it was still surrounding the Kameyama Castle in Awu County, which Yoshimiya controlled. As for the Tokawa Castle in Awu County, it was still controlled by the Oui Family. This led to Masara's original plan to quickly take down the three cities of Kameyama Castle, Kameyama Castle and Tokawa Castle, thereby blocking Yoshimiya, who was located in the border area of Awu County and Ishimiya, and taking the opportunity to enter Nagato Country. Zhou's strategy of going deeper into the region ended in failure.
Fortunately, when the Luo family army surrounded Zhiyue City, the Jimi family's governor, Jimi Lai, happened to be in the city, because the family governor was besieged in the city. This led to the Jimi family falling into a state of headlessness, which indirectly achieved the purpose of blocking the Jimi family's influence on the Luo family's strategy to Nagato and Zhou's defense.
Since the situation in Zhiyue City has evolved like this, Masara simply ordered the first army led by Aguda to change to the strategy of surrounding the point and attacking the aid, and try to restrain the Yoshimi family. In order to better achieve this goal, Masarara also sent an envoy to the Yoshimi family's neighbor, the Yoshimi family, not long ago, in an attempt to incite the Yoshimi family to attack the Yoshimi family from the Luo family.
The second army led by Tomohisaku, Isono Tomosaku, and Takasaka Masaku. Since this army was cooperated with cavalry, and they cleverly claimed the name of Ouchi Yoshizun, the strategy progressed well.
From the beginning of the strategy, they divided their troops into two groups, one along the Zhoufangtan on the coast of the south of Nagato, and the other side captured the inner county town, Eagle Mountain Castle and other cities, directly capturing the southern part of Nagato. Then they quickly entered the southern part of Zhoufang through the border area of the southern region, but they encountered fierce resistance from Ueda Yue Castle, which was stationed by Ueda Takarae, Ouaiya, and was still in fierce battle at this time. As long as the city was captured, the Yamaguchi area, the central area of Ouaiya's rule, would be exposed to the army of the Luo family.
Another army chose to attack Yada Castle, which was controlled by the Luo family from the northwest of Nagamon Kingdom, and first launched a battle from here to sneak attack Qingjing Castle in the north of Nagamon Kingdom (to ensure that the first army of Aguda in the north could concentrate on dealing with Yoshimiya), and then quickly conquered Okabe Castle in the central region of Nagamon Kingdom. However, when continuing to launch a strategy for the central region of Nagamon Kingdom, it was directly attacked by Shinda Maru Castle, which was guarded by the Nagamon Sugi family and Naito family, and the pace could not help but stop.
Similarly, as long as the central region of Nagamon Kingdom is completely taken down, except for part of the border areas to the north controlled by Yoshimiya, the entire Nagamon Kingdom will fall into the pockets of the Luo family. Moreover, from the central region of Nagamon Kingdom, you can quickly enter the Yamaguchi area of the Yamaguchi area, the center of the Ouaiko rule.
In terms of Anyiguo, the third army in the western, southern and central regions of Anyiguo, led by the main general Kinishi Masaru Kinishi, began to attack Yama Prefecture and Yoshida County, which were still occupied by Maori in the northern region. However, in order to prevent the sneak attack of the Niko family of Izumo Kingdom in the north, before going to the island of Itsujima, Mori Moto arranged a lot of troops in these two counties, and the Maori family has built many satellite cities in these two places over the years to protect the Yama Castle of Yoshida County, Yoshida County, in this critical moment, these arrangements finally showed their defensive value. As a result, the strategy of this army of Kinishi Masaru Kinishi was also progressing slowly.
In order to find a breakthrough, Kinoshita Masana later focused his attacks on Yama Prefecture. Because not only was the Yoshikawa family's base camp in the Maori family's two-gawa system, but there was also a silver mine with abundant minerals in the local area. As long as you took it down, it would be like the Maori family to cut off the Maori family's arm. In this way, the Maori family would sooner or later be destroyed by the Luo family.
But what Kinoshita Masaru didn't expect was that the Maori family seemed to have noticed his intention and set up a trap in Yama Prefecture County, trying to let Kinoshita Masaru's army get in. Fortunately, Kinoshita Masaru was careful. After realizing that something was wrong, he led the army back to the Takamiya County border adjacent to Yama Prefecture County and Yoshida County, avoiding a crushing defeat. If Kinoshita Masaru's army was destroyed, then the western, central and even southern regions of Anyi Country would fall into the hands of the Maori family again in an instant. Then the previous efforts of the Luo family would be in vain.
After learning about this, Masarara immediately felt that Mori Moto had returned to the territory of the Mori family at this time. For safety reasons and to ensure the results achieved in Anyiguo at this time, Masarara ordered Kinoshita Masara to temporarily only carry out harassment wars at the border between Yama Prefecture and Yoshida Prefecture, and there is no need to continue to go deep into these two counties.
