Chapter 936 Weird Fire
The mountainous area in the northern Hinata Kingdom leads to the mountain road used by the Sakai family in Toyogo Kokuo-Keibe County. Shimazu Takahisa led the Shimazu family's team and the forces of the various wealthy families to march towards the Sakai family's territory.
Shimazu Takahiro's face was grim and serious, as if he was thinking about something. His head was held by Xiao's surname, and the samurai-like head was on the top of his head, and his whole body looked particularly energetic. His eyes were small and small, but very spiritual. He often forced out sharp eyes and his behavior was calm, and his whole body exuded a decisive and decisive aura.
Shimazu Takahiko is 45 years old this year. In the past 30 years, he has used various means to subdue many wealthy families near the Shimazu family, and even made himself and his family recognized by the court. He even received the position of a republic from five officials granted by the court. Just last year, the Shimazu family unified the Satsuma Kingdom under his leadership and penetrated its power into Osuzu Kingdom and Hinata Kingdom. At this time, the Shimazu family had reached its peak in his hands.
This time, the Shimazu family, which had already repelled the Luo family's army in the Satsuma area, was also facing pressure from the Luo family to retaliate at any time. In order to enhance the determination of the Iton family and the Sahiro family to fight against the Luo family and share the pressure from the Luo family for the Shimazu family, this time he had to follow the covenant to send reinforcements to the Sahiro family, and even lead the army to support him personally, in order to strengthen the confidence of the two covenants.
As for the security of the territory after he took the battle, the Ganfu family of Osumi Kingdom had been defeated several times. The Shimazu family was no longer afraid of its counterattack, and even planned to annex the Osumi Kingdom at one time after this battle. And the military power of the Luo family in the Minamihaego region was also prepared to deal with it. It can be said that his attack this time was foolproof.
The only thing that made him angry was the shameless act of the Luo family to launch a war during the spring plowing season, which will greatly affect the spring plowing in Shimazu family territory this year, and the autumn harvest this year will also be affected.
In this regard, in the secret talk last night, Ito Yoshiyuki also expressed his anger. But both Ito Yoshiyuki and Shimazu Takaha were helpless about the despicable actions of the Luo family. In order to deal with the invasion of the Luo family, they had to draw a large number of young and strong soldiers from the people as soldiers, which would inevitably affect the people's spring farming. If they did not draw a large number of peasant soldiers, it would be difficult to obtain enough troops to support the two positions in the support frontline and the territory's border at the same time. Therefore, even if they were eager to cut the despicable Kyushu rotten eagle into countless sections, they had to grit their teeth and draw peasant soldiers to deal with it.
However, this time, the Shimazu family supported more than 5,000 troops. As for the Iton family, there were more than 8,000 reinforcements, plus the more than 3,000 troops from the Sabuki family and more than 10,000 troops, and the advantages of geographical and human harmony. This time, the coalition forces will definitely be able to withstand the invasion of the Luo family and even take the opportunity to defeat the Luo family.
Even though he was unfortunately forced to retreat, with the many dangerous forces along the mountain roads between Kitahiga and Nanfenghou, it could completely stop the Luo family from chasing the victory and keep the Luo family out of the door. Therefore, Shimazu Takaha was very confident about this time of his outing. He looked up and looked at the continuous reinforcements of Ito family and Shimazu family in the mountain road ahead. Shimazu Takaha finally showed a smile on his face.
Just when Ito Yoshiyuki and Shimazu Takahiro personally led reinforcements to support the Sahiro family, that night, in the city where the Sahiro family was used, they were in a tense atmosphere.
In the city of Tianshou Pavilion, the chaotic footsteps sounded on the roof of Tianshou Pavilion, and the feeling of Sabuki seems to be filled with panic everywhere.
Looking out from Tianshou Pavilion, the fields were pitch black, in the bitter mountain wind. The torches hanging high on the curved wheels were shaking, which made the shadows of the arrows on Ninomaru become erratic. The sound of wood beatings in the city was heard everywhere. This was the peasant soldiers who were temporarily recruited brought wood overnight under the supervision of the samurai to repair several incomplete walls in the city.
In the house, bundles of arrows were moved out from the inside to the outside, transported to the arrows, and the Tianshou Pavilion. The bow and foot began to twist the strings on the bow, and the warriors took out the waxed samurai swords again. The goods in the house were full, and the spears were distributed and sent to the hands of every peasant soldier. The warriors shouted loudly about the newly recruited peasant soldiers, and they were assigned to the various peasant heads, who were organized to form combat power.
Seeing this, Sabuki sighed, but was still a little hasty. He had just learned about the loss of Meimuli City nine days ago.
After hearing the news, Sabuki was shocked and immediately ordered to prepare for war. At the same time, he sent envoys to the retainers in the territory to order them to quickly lead troops to the main city for rescue. In addition, he also sent envoys to the country of Hinaga and urged reinforcements such as Itojia to speed up the speed of coming to support.
But even so, the time was too hasty. In less than ten days, the territorial leaders were busy starting spring plowing again. How could the surrounding retainers mobilize all the territorial leaders in such a short time? Fortunately, since a group of peasant soldiers had just been recruited as reinforcements to assist the defenders of Meimuli City, Meimuli City has been captured, and this army is just used to defend the city.
However, the news of the loss of Umemuli City still makes Sabuki Weijiao unbelievable. You should know that in Umemuli City, not only is his brave and resourceful younger brother Sabuki Shintaku guarded with more than 600 people, but more than 200 Shimazu family elite troops led by Shinna Tadamoto, the strong and towering fortress built on the steep Meimuli Mountain and the limited and narrow outside city location that makes it difficult for the siege troops to exert their strength, even facing the attack of the Luo family's army of tens of thousands, they can definitely hold on for several months. Less than a month has passed, Meimuli City has been lost, and even a deserter has not escaped, let alone his younger brother Sabuki Shintaku, who is still in danger of life and death, which has made Sabuki Weijiao still not fully understand the reason.
Now, from the news that the Luo family's army was stationed on the other side of Kurusukawa, less than three miles away from Yicheng. As long as the other party was willing, they could completely cross Kurusukawa and arrive at Yicheng within half a day. This caught Sabuki Weijiao off guard.
Just as Sahiro Weijiao was anxious and worried about the situation facing the Sahiro family, bursts of exclamations suddenly came from not far from Tianshou Pavilion.
"What's going on over there?" Seeing this, Sabuki Weijiao asked immediately. The retainers behind him immediately went down to inquire about the situation.
At this moment, Sabuki Weijiao had already seen the windows suddenly become extremely bright in a house in the distance. After a while, a burst of flames suddenly spurted out from the window. The long tongue of flames made Sabuki Weijiao in the balcony of Tianshou Pavilion feel a wave of heat coming towards him, and then bursts of crackling sounds also came.
