"Since Lord Yashi (referring to Masara) has no intention of attacking with me, it is understandable." After receiving the detailed report from Tao Chi-chan, Tao Longfang immediately found the Luo family envoy who returned to the Yamaguchi Ouchi Pavilion with Tao Chi-chan, and said, "As for the matter of Tsushima, please go back and tell me that I will never intervene."

At this time, Tao Longfang was forced to fall into the battle with Tsushima Island immediately. Moreover, since the Toyoura County and the Kanmen Strait of Nagato were occupied by the Luo family, the waterway was cut off, and the Ouchi family had long lost contact with Tsushima Island. The previous Ouchi family's support agreement for Tsushima Island also failed. Tao Longfang would not have had any traits between Tsushima Island and the Luo family because of this loss of effect.

So after sending Kizao Shigetachi back to the Luo family, Tao Longfang also began to prepare for a decisive battle with Maori Motozu. The news that the Luo family was about to fight Tsushima and Toyogoku Sahiro's family soon reached the ears of An Yiguo.

"Okay!" The Luo family, whom he feared the most, was about to fall into another battlefield at this time. This was definitely a good thing for him, so he seemed very happy.

"What are the rewards for the messengers sent to various parts of Kyushu?" Maorimoto asked immediately.

"The Sahiro family and Ito family agreed to the request to join forces with the family, but the Shimazu family did not reply immediately." Konoha Tori immediately reported.

"Is Shimazu family still the same as last time? Being too cautious will only make you miss the opportunity." Maori Moto oversaw.

"Lord, my envoy found something interesting in the territory of the Shimazu family." But Konoha Toriya continued.

"It seems very interesting to be able to surprise you too."

"Haha, lord, I'm not to hide it. The ministers are really surprised by this."

"Oh?" Maori Yuan was really surprised.

"The lord doesn't know that this time the envoy of our family went to Shimazu family to find a large number of Ming people in the local area."

"Ming people?"

"No, to be precise, those were pirates from Ming Kingdom. These pirates had a lot of iron cannons and other Ming Kingdom supplies. If necessary, they could even hire them to fight. At this time, the Shimazu family was doing such a trade with them. The envoy of our family also secretly inquired that the Shimazu family even sent people to follow the Ming Kingdom pirates to rob and gained a lot of material wealth."

"What do you mean?" Hearing this, Mori Moto understood the meaning of Konoha Toriya.

"Yes, lord. I can also trade with them. Especially the iron cannon transactions. Since the local manufacturing time was too long, even if I personally sent someone to Kyoto, Sakaimachi and other places, I could not buy enough iron cannons. However, the pirates had a large number of iron cannons, so I happened to trade with them." Konoha Toshiraki said immediately.

"Not bad!" After listening to Koba Tsuyoshi's suggestion, Mori Moto also said, "I even encouraged these pirates to fight against the Luo family. The sea area occupied by these pirates will sooner or later have conflicts with the Luo family's naval army, and my family will just provoke their relationship."

"Lord, wise!" Seeing Mori Moto, he thought of this so quickly. Koha Toshiraki flattered him just at the right time.

"But, if you want to trade with these pirates, you must have a safe waterway and a safe waterway. Then you must first master the Seto Inland Sea. The next decisive battle with the Tao family is crucial." Mori Mori immediately changed his voice and returned to the matter of about to fight the Tao family.

"Since that's the case, let's just make the Luo family busier and send orders to let the family lurking in the Luo family's territory spread rumors and incite the people."

"Ah? Lord, this may cause heavy losses to the merits of the Luo family!" After hearing the Maori Motozu's decision, Toshira Koha was immediately shocked. They had not done such a thing before, but the last time it was discovered that most of the Māori family who had been refugees in the Luo family territory were discovered, and eventually most of the people were arrested. It is said that the end of these people was very miserable, and what made Toshira Koha was even more helpless was that even though so many people were sacrificed, the impact on the Luo family was still limited.

"Are you worried that this time will not cause trouble to the Luo family?" Maorimoto saw the doubts of Kouhatsura, so he simply mentioned it himself, "This time the situation is different from the last time. The Luo family only captured some areas of Fengqian and Fengqian last year. This time these areas will definitely bring a lot of trouble to the Luo family."

"Lord is wise!" After being mentioned by Maori Moto, Koba Tsuyoshi immediately understood.

Generally speaking, when dealing with ordinary wealthy families, Maori Yuan will really succeed. However, Maori Yuan did not understand the rules of the Luo family, and he did not know that Masayora had arranged for military advisor Nobunosuke Akaba to be specifically guarded against this situation. So this time Maori Yuan was destined to suffer a big loss, and even lost the intelligence network of the Luo family, and the monitoring of the Luo family's situation became blind.

"What's the situation with the Nizi family in Izumo Country?" After learning about the situation of the Luo family, Mori Moon immediately asked about the situation of the Nizi family.

"My lord, please rest assured. Under the rumors that my family arranged for the detailed work of Izumo and Hatsuma, Niko Haruhi seemed to be really dissatisfied with his Akamatsu and Uraguchi family who "blatantly despised" him, and even began to mobilize the military and prepare to go to Hatsumatsu and teach the Akamatsu and Uraguchi family a lesson." Koba Tsurara immediately replied happily.

"Okay!" Mori Moto nodded after hearing this and said with satisfaction, "What's wrong with the Murakami Navy and the Kono family?"

"The Mishima (Raishima, Nojima, Inshima, and Bukit Murakami is the heir of the Hamanoshima Navy) has agreed to the request of the family, and the Kono family may not be able to come out because they are fighting against the Nishituji family at this time."

"The in-laws cannot come (after Yoshitaka Ouchi was killed, in order to form an alliance with the Kono family, Mori Mori married his daughter to the Kono family. The Kono family has always had a feud with the Ouchi family. Now Mori Mori is dealing with the Tao family, which represents the Ouchi family. Even if the Kono family cannot send troops to help, they will still give the island naval army that is dependent on the Kono family to support the Maori family. And the Kunatazhu of the Luo family came from this fleet that can be called the Kono family's naval army)? That's a pity. But it's good to be able to get the support of the Mishima Naval Army." After hearing the report from Torira Kazuya, Mori Mori pondered for a while, then said.

"Since everything has developed according to the original expectations of our family! Tao Longfang, let us both have a decisive battle." Looking at the beautiful mountain scenery outside the window, Mori Moon couldn't help but shout in his heart.

In the first year of Hongzhi (1555), perhaps because of the previous two years, due to natural disasters, all families had to focus their attention at home. Now they have finally encountered a normal year, so the powerful and powerful celebrities finally couldn't hold it in and began to get restless. Fierce battles occurred in various parts of the Western countries.

In May, when spring plowing is about to end, the first war broke out, but the Tosa Kingdom of the four countries. In recent years, the family's power has gradually increased. Under the leadership of his family's governor, Changzong's family, began to attack his enemy, the Honyama family. The two sides fought fiercely on the borders of the two territories.

In the same Shikoku region, in order to avenge the revenge of being abducted by a sudden sneak attack at the beginning of the year, the most wise and brave governor of the Nishituji family in history, Mitsumasaki Mitsumasa also led a large army to enter the territory of the Kono family and the Ono family. After learning about it, the Kono family and the Ono family immediately sent troops to fight.

In June, on Itsuki Island, which was shrouded in the dark clouds of war, the Miyao Castle of Mori Mori was completed. Mori Mori immediately ordered the noble family, Kikio Shinri Miyasu, to lead 600 soldiers to defend, while the rest of the troops remained unmoved.

In June, the sixth standing football team of the Luo family in the Toyoho Kingdom of Kyushu, also started to fight half of the sea counties in the southern part of the Toyoho Kingdom with the assistance of some of the fourth standing waters of the Luo family. The Sabuki family, which was entrenched here, immediately fought against the Iton family and asked for help. For a moment, the two sides fought fiercely.

In August, the Luo Family Navy, which had already assembled a lot of naval warships along the coast of Iki Island, finally began to attack Tsushima Island. The So Family, who had been prepared for it, immediately sent their own naval forces to fight. The two sides met in the Tsushima Strait and started the first battle. But in the end, it ended with a small victory in the Luo Family. After the defeat, the So Family Navy quickly fled back to Tsushima Island.

The Luo family's naval army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the victory. Instead, they returned to the base of Iki Island. Then the news came from the Luo family. Everyone learned that the Luo family's naval army was preparing to wait for the other naval army to arrive, and once again launched a general attack on Tsushima Island.

On September 20, the autumn harvest had been over for more than ten days, and the Luo family army, which had finally been fully concentrated, also began to set off from Iki Island and attack Tsushima Island. On September 21, the second day after the Luo family naval army set off on Tsushima Island, Tao Longfang raised the flag at Iwaki Yongxing Temple, and gathered Zhou Defense Kingdom. Nagato's country had a total of more than 20,000 troops, and took more than 500 naval ships. Tao Longfang himself led the first wave of troops, while Hiroaka Tsushima led the successor troops to stand by Iwaki, and fought at Iwaki Island in a mighty way, preparing to take down the Maori family in one fell swoop.

The Tao family ships sailed forward, passing through the narrow and long Ono Seto waters between Itsuki and Anyun Kingdom, and finally landed in a place called Omotoura. Not far from the landing point, it was the Miyao Castle, which Maori Moto was built.

Tao Longfang was full of complacent intentions. He saw the Great Torii of Itsujima Shrine standing in the sea tide in front of him. He looked back at the military appearance of Chen Qianli, and couldn't help but silently make a wish to the gods to win a battle.

After landing, he immediately gathered the generals who followed him to hold a pre-war assessment meeting. At the meeting, a retainer first suggested: "The lord Hirozaka Takaba's troops are still in Iwaki. Should their troops be transported here first?"

"Yeah!" Tao Longfang nodded immediately after hearing this. In fact, he still thought that even with the troops landed on this time, he could take down the city built by the Maori family. Since some retainers mentioned the Hirozhong Takashi, he immediately ordered all the naval ships that came this time to return immediately and then transport the Hirozhong Takashi's troops. The landing location was still Omotoura.

After deciding on the matter of Hongzhong Long's army, Tao Longfang immediately asked: "Everyone, should we wait for the successor team of Hongzhong Sanhe Guard to come up? Will we attack Miyao City again?" At this time, Tao Longfang no longer had the glory of being called the "General of the Western State" back then. Because he had to take into account the emotions of the nobles who had finally recovered by him, he had to consider the opinions of the nobles before he made a decision, so this situation would happen.

Following Tao Longfang's question, the general of the Tao family naval commander Miura Fangqing immediately spoke: "Lord, the Maori family army is weak. Some time ago, he led the navy to attack Renbao Island. The Maori general Kagawa defeated without fighting. Our army did not have to wait for the arrival of Sankawa Guard, but could directly cross the shrine. At the high ground, "Tainooka" set up camp and then attack Miyao Castle."

Miura Yasuki's suggestion was exactly what Tao Longfang thought. Because of the turtle defensive strategy shown by the Maori army before, he looked down on the Maori family. In fact, there was one thing that Hiroaka Takabo was right at the beginning, that was the crushing defeat of the Tao family, which was entirely due to the poor strength of the Tao family. Now that he has personally taken charge, he has so many elite soldiers and generals under his command, he naturally doesn't have to worry about the Maori family's tricks. Moreover, Hiroaka Takabo had opposed his strategy many times before, and Tao Longfang also wanted to take the opportunity to easily take down Miyao Castle before Hiroaka Takabo to humiliate Hiroaka.

Due to this situation, Tao Longfang immediately agreed to Miura Fangqing's suggestion, so the army began to cross the Itsuki Shrine and began to build its own formation in Tanooka.

Tanaoka is a highland covered with pine forests and shrubs. It is located behind Itsuki Shrine. It is named after the fifth-level Buddhist pagoda on it. Taolongfang's first landing team set up camp here. Without waiting for the arrival of Hirozaka Takaba's successor team, they immediately launched an attack on Miyao Castle.

Because the areas from Tanatooka to Miyao Castle are mostly narrow terrain with dense forests and white sand, Tao Longfang carefully divided the entire army into three fronts: the first-line attack troops were arranged in front of the Daimu Hall in Tanatooka. The troops on this line demolished all the houses around Tanatooka and set up winding fences on the front. They laid dense wooden stakes to attack Miyao Castle; the second line was along the Zhongchao Hall, Duobaogang, Dashengyuan, and Shiwangtang; the third-line troops were arranged in the Yushan (Mishan), Komalin, and Tao Longfang, behind Tanatooka, to protect the back and flanks; in the end, Tao Longfang also sent hundreds of warships. From Omotopo to Suyapo, they lined up, and the ships were connected by iron cables, attempting to isolate the Maori army's landing support to Itsujima.

Looking at the Tower Hill, the flags of the Tao family army reflected the red maple leaves all over the hills. The shouts of soldiers lined up and the roar of the tides matched each other, which made Tao Longfang a little confused, as if he was in a dream. After the arrangement was made, Tao Longfang, who stood on the Tower Hill, waved his military fan and sent a signal to the entire army to attack the palace's tail city!

"As long as you capture Miyao Castle and destroy the Mori family, I, Taolongfang, will be the hero of the Omeni revival - Lord Koyoshi Takashi, I will not forgive you for your actions, but I can understand."

But beyond Tao Longfang's expectations, Miyao Castle's resistance was not as vulnerable as Miura Fangqing said, but it was extremely determined. According to the Tao army's estimates, the guards of Miyao Castle were Jifei, the newly reduced Maori family, and five or six hundred people including Shinri, who were not strong in fighting spirit and wavering in the position, and it would be no problem to win several charges. But what the Tao army did not expect was that the scheming Maori Moto had already ordered his important minister Shintoshi Fukuhara

Leading dozens of elite soldiers into this city, called assisting in the battle, but in fact it is a role of the supervising team. Under the inspiration and intimidation of Fukuhara and others, the defenders of Miyao Castle actually fought with one and did not become afraid of fighting. Especially the young assistant in the Shinri Palace, this man has a lot of strange power. He had previously reserved a lot of big stones and rolling wood in the city. When defending the city, he easily threw these objects at the Tao family army that was siegeing the city like "bird's feathers". As a result, "the Tao army's wooden shield was crushed and invincible."

In addition, Maori Yuan built a city here in Miyao, and the location selection itself was extremely experienced. This place was surrounded by sea on three sides and was covered with dense forests of mudflats. The Tao family army could only attack the city on one side, and the large army could not be deployed at all. As a result, after two days of fighting, the Tao family army suffered heavy casualties, but the Miyao city stood firm.

At this time, Hongzhong Longbao's successor troops finally arrived. Of course, Tao Longfang was a little embarrassed, but he also took the initiative to ask: "Sanhe Shuai, what do you think about this?" Tao Longfang's military talent is indeed good, but his strategy is very average (it can be seen from his calculations by Maori Yuan several times. To put it bluntly, it is neither EQ nor IQ can work). Hongzhong Longbao has always played the role of a military advisor in his family, so now he had no choice but to ask Hongzhong Longbao what to do next.

Hiroaka Takaba looked at Miyaoka on Maruyama in Tanooka, and then looked at the terrain on all sides of Tanooka, and finally said, "Your Highness Zen (Tao Longfang Dharma Name), my minister's suggestion is not to stop attacking Miyaoka, the sooner you take it down, the better. In addition, the game tail behind Tanooka is a mountain that can attack our army at a high level. Please allow me to move down and defend to strengthen the security of the right wing."
