Chapter 599
The several dead cherry trees in the yard outside the Gaoliang City Council Hall were covered with fallen leaves, and only the leaves of the green citrus trees were particularly eye-catching in the strong wind before the rainstorm.
At this time, under the cherry blossom tree, there was a red hole Guangqing sitting. He found a straw mat from somewhere, spread it out and sat on it, and then began to bandage the wound on his arm. Today, they suddenly received news that the Lord Zhengliang was ambushed, so they immediately went to rescue. Since they were cavalry, they were the first to arrive at the ambush site.
When they arrived at the location, they were immediately startled by the tragic situation at the scene. The cape led by Masarara almost killed or injured, and Tomohisa Oishi's second-ranked football team was almost crippled. Of course, the enemy also paid twice the price of casualties.
Seeing this situation, he almost thought Zhengliang was in danger. Fortunately, they found Zhengliang and others hiding in the grass that flowed into the tributary of Zhuhouchuan. Although the lord Zhengliang was a little exhausted, he was lucky that he only suffered a little bit of external injuries.
After protecting Zhengliang, they immediately began to leave the battlefield. At this time, Kurasui Guangqing was shot by enemy archers who were evacuating the battlefield.
"I don't know what the lord is going to do." Tao Nakamoto, who was also sitting on the ground beside Kuraki, said while eating rice balls. Masara suddenly gave everyone a big order to rest and heal and replenish food, which immediately made everyone mutter.
"Are the lord ready to fight back immediately today?" Okawaguchi asked.
"No, no." Kuangqing Chizui shook his head, and then began to take out some fried beans from the dry food bag around her waist to satisfy her hunger.
"The enemy has withdrawn from the battlefield and has begun to set up a large camp. Besides, the heavy rain is coming. The lord will not fight back at this time."
"I thought the Lord and the Prince would fight back against the enemy in the heavy rain. Didn't the Lord always do this before?"
Just as the retainers were talking outside the meeting hall, the meeting hall also started an assessment.
"Everyone, this ambush was caused by negligence, which caused great losses to our elites. I sincerely apologize again." Looking at the important officials in the family who were rushing to the courtroom, Masayoshi bent over with his hands and apologized.
As Zhengliang said, this time he was ambushed. He did make many mistakes.
This time Masayoshi was indeed a little arrogant and stubborn. He did not listen to Yamamoto Kanasuke's original advice and went on adventures as the head of the family. This was because he did not fully realize the importance of his own safety as the head of the family to the stability of the family. His habit of personally leading the army on the front line was just expected by the enemy, and there was only such an ambush.
It is precisely because some of Zhengliang's habits were clearly grasped by the enemy that during the ambush, the enemy specially used concentrated attack methods to force Zhengliang to separate from the original formation. This made the Luo family army, which was ambushed, lose its backbone and eventually suffered significant losses.
Of course, this mistake was not just Masaru's mistake. So after Masaru apologized in person, Kanasuke Yamamoto was the first to stand up and admit his mistake:
"Lord, your attack this time is a dereliction of duty by the minister. Please punish me."
This time Masayoro's attack was indeed closely related to the fact that the Black Hawk and the Detective Actors of the Luo family did not discover the enemy in time. Of course, this cannot be entirely blamed on Yamamoto Kazusuke, after all, ninjas are not omnipotent. Besides, the manpower is limited, and this time the enemy has been carefully coordinated by the Luo family. He has been prepared for a long time, which has also led to the Black Hawk's failure to discover the abnormalities in time.
"Lord, Lord Yamamoto, it's not the time to argue whose mistakes are yet to be debated. Let's discuss immediately how to deal with the Otomo and the Oui Alliance forces who are gathering." Kakukuma Ishisect, who was standing beside him, immediately spoke up. Kakuma Ishisect was lucky. Although he followed Masaruto into an ambush this time, it seemed that his student Toji Kenlian did not make things difficult for him, so after he hid in a wood near the battlefield, he was not attacked and finally returned to the Luo family without any harm.
"Yes, at this time, we should discuss how to deal with the aggressive enemy troops." Hearing Kakukuma Ishisong's words, Masara immediately looked sober, and then said, "Kansuke, tell me the information you have received so far."
The latter immediately reported with a serious expression: "The information I just received, the Otomo family and the Ouchi family have stopped fighting in Chigo Ohara County, and when the lord ambushed, the two families have begun to gather the main military forces to the south bank of the Chigo Ohara River. In addition, large military forces suddenly appeared from Sugimoto Castle in Chigo Essential Castle in Chigo Essential Castle in Chigo Essential Castle, Iwakiyama Castle and other forts, and large military forces also appeared in the Otomo family's Hinaki Castle in Toyo Goe. These military forces will surely arrive at the Otomo family and the camp on the southern bank of the Chigo Essential Castle tonight."
"Hmph, it seems that the opponent's ambush failed and he planned to attack directly." The general Isono Toshimasaki said immediately after hearing this.
"If this is the case, these military forces may only be the first batch of military forces. I am afraid that the Otomo family and the Otomo family will have military forces to come to meet again in the future." Kakukuma Shisou said.
"No, my subordinates think that the other party may be launching an attack on our family before the subsequent military force arrives." Yamamoto Kazusuke judged. In his opinion, the Luo family was ambushed this time. Although the lord Masaru escaped, the main force following Masaru suffered a heavy blow. They would definitely not miss this opportunity to take advantage of the victory.
"It seems that today's heavy rain has indeed helped me a lot." Kakukuma Shisou said immediately.
"If so, it is expected that after the heavy rain, at the latest, the other party will attack our family with all their might." Togo Heiji said worriedly, "Master Yamamoto, if the first batch of troops of the other party gather, how many people are expected?"
"I'm afraid there are no less than 30,000 people." Yamamoto Kansuke's face was solemn. This time, the Otomo family and the Ouchi family really planned to do their best to erase the Luo family.
"What? Thirty thousand people? Damn it, why did the Black Hawk and the Detective Actors of the family know nothing about this before?" This time, even Kinoshita Masana was shocked.
Yamamoto Kansuke, who was in charge of the intelligence cabinet, couldn't help but lower his head a little ashamed. Previously, because he had to take full advantage of the newly occupied Feihou territory and strictly prevent rebellion in the territory, most of the Black Hawk and the Detective Agents of the Luo family were almost concentrated in these two tasks, so he was indeed negligent in surveillance of the foreign powerful people. In addition, the Otomo family and the Otomo family had already conspired to deal with the Luo family, especially the Otomo family. He learned the lessons he had discovered in advance when he was conquered the Luo family during the last campaign. This time, he could be said to have adopted an ant moving method to secretly gather military power, so the Luo family's intelligence cabinet naturally didn't know.
"Thirty thousand people, and this is just the first Po army to attack our family tomorrow. If the enemy still has a follow-up army, then..." Donggo Heiji said bitterly. Indeed, it cannot be blamed for Donggo Heiji's performance. After all, there were only less than three thousand soldiers near the Gaoliang Castle of the Luo family at this time. Three thousand to 30,000 is already a huge gap. If the opponent still has a follow-up army, the situation of the Luo family will be even more critical.
What Heiji Togo could imagine, the rest of the retainers could also imagine. So after Heiji Togo said that, everyone couldn't help but feel silent.
"Lord, why don't our family ask for peace from the other party?" After everyone was silent for a while, Heiji Togo continued.
"Summoning? How to make a sum?" It was Masao Isono who spoke.
"Well. The Otomo family will definitely not accept the peace request from our family. After all, the family has already formed a great feud with him for life and death. The only thing that is possible to negotiate peace is the Otomo family." said Yamamoto Kansuke.
"Lord, my family can marry Miki to the Daoui family, or even ced some territory to the Daoui family. As long as I stabilize the Daoui family first and let my family concentrate their troops to defeat the Daoui family's military power, my family's crisis will naturally be resolved." Heiji Togo said. From the perspective of his retainer, Heiji Togo's suggestion was indeed not inappropriate. But he didn't know that it touched Masayoshi's rebellious scale.
