Chapter 1274: "·Two Fronts"

Even when life is really unbearable, it is always useful to find out how to live.
Nikola Ostrovsky (Soviet writer)
In late October, after several months of fierce attacks and crazy counterattacks, the Maori army has completely expelled the troops of the Hokkaido Union from the backup and Izumo countries; but returned to the two countries in the hands of the Maori family, It is no longer the original appearance of these two countries.
Beibei and Izumo were originally the hinterland of the Maori family. They not only have weak defense, but also store a lot of various grain and grass materials accumulated by the Maori family over the years; it is naturally impossible for the Allied forces of Hokkaido to enter such a treasure. Withdraw from these two countries.
All the rural villages in Ikumo and Izumo, and the small and medium-sized castle towns that were easy to attack and defend, were looted by the Hokkaido coalition forces; the edible food was eaten by the Hokkaido coalition forces, and the gold and silver treasures that could be taken away were taken by Hokkaido The coalition forces took it away, and the rest of the house buildings and other precious things that could not be taken away were burned by the Hokkaido coalition forces who were unwilling to return the Maori family.
At the time when the Hokkaido coalition forces were defeated and prepared to evacuate the reserve and Izumo, they burned the food that was hard to take away in the camp, and did not leave a little bit of the Maori army to recover the lost land. Children booty.
Returning to the two countries of Beibei and Izumo under the Maori family, apart from those large cities and towns with high walls and strong walls that have not been destroyed, they are full of ruins. In the face of tens of thousands of displaced refugees, Mao Liyuan almost didn't get angry.
Because the refugees in Beibei and Izumo are old and weak women and children who have no fighting power, they are only the burden of the Maori family, and they cannot bring any benefits to the Maori family; the Maori family, which has suffered heavy losses, bears this It is even more difficult to act after a heavy burden.
On the other hand, when they evacuated the Hokkaido coalition forces of Izumo and Izumo in a timely manner, they received innumerable gold and silver treasures and food that they could not finish eating in a while, as well as the cannon fodder forcibly recruited by 30,000 to 40,000 people; It’s just a 10,000 or 20,000 deaths.
In fact, the 120,000 or 20,000 pieces of the battlefield killed by the Allied Forces of Hokkaido, most of them were the cannon fodder that they forcibly recruited from Shijian, Anyun, Nagato, Zhou Fang and other countries, and they really came out of the war to join the war. Not much light.
The Hokkaido coalition forces fighting in the form of raiders can be described as killing, burning, and snatching out of the territory of the Maori family; the Maori family, which has been affected by half of the family’s territory, has suffered much more than the outside world imagined. .
The large army withdrew into the coalition forces of Hokkaido, Shijian and Anyun. On the one hand, the gold and silver treasures and grains and materials that were plundered by them were transported to the rear gate and Zhoufang, and on the other hand, the large-scale use of Shijian and Anyun was used. The castle town began to build defense lines on the spot.
The omnipotent Hokkaido coalition forces can always build the most complete fortifications at the fastest speed; taking the Hamada Castle in Naga-gun, Ishiguni as an example, there are only two Hokkaido coalition forces stationed in the city. Ten thousand people, but there are nearly one hundred thousand people under their control!
The commander-in-chief of the dragon-making temple family of this army, with the three thousand standing soldiers of the dragon-making temple family and 5,000 peasants as the core, firmly controlled the 12,000 peasants recruited from the Nagato; Then with such an army, all the people in and around Hamada City were arrested, and these people were forced to strengthen Hamada City for them.
On one side is the 20,000 Hokkaido Allied Forces with 100,000 people fortifying the city, and on the other side is the Maori Army with high fighting strength and a military strength of up to 50,000. It is conceivable how fierce the fighting between the two armies will be.
However, regardless of whether the Maori Army can successfully defeat Hamada City, it is impossible to change the reality that Hamada City will be smashed into ruins; watching the territory of his family, he was tossed into ruins little by little by the Hokkaido coalition forces. The anger will come out without a hit.
The battle between Shanyang and Sanyin is still in full swing, but the battle between the Hokkaido Allied Forces and the Oda Family in Awaji has come to an end; first, the withdrawal of the Longzhu Temple family army, and then the focus of the Shimadzu family. However, after the Akaji’s Hokkaido Allied Forces were severely weakened twice in a row, their combat power dropped rapidly, and they were not opponents of the strengthened Oda Army.
The three brothers of Shimadzu Yoshihiro used the weaponry and equipment that the Yanhuang family reinforced to them, plus the weapons and equipment they searched from the four countries of South Hokkaido, and the weapons and equipment that Yoshihiko Shimadzu brought from the homeland of the Shimadzu family in the South China Sea. Dao formed a huge new army.
This new army, which is not in the Hokkaido coalition battle sequence, but is exclusive to the Shimadzu family, is filled with a large number of wandering samurai from Tosa and elite footlights from Iyo; know that the samurai and footlights in these two places, That is famous for the empire.
Just like the Takeda family's Jiafei is rich in fine riding, Tosa's samurai and Iyo's fame and reputation are also very loud; in Tosa and Iyo, who are still in the martial arts, almost every man has practiced swordsmanship and spearmanship since childhood, but their combat power is Really.
With the plundered funds, the Shimadzu family recruited more than 600 warriors and more than 2,000 young warriors who were only one step away from the warriors in Tosa, and nearly 3,000 elite soldiers and more than 5,000 wars were recruited in Iyo. The strength is no less than that of the Shimadzu Army's standing reserve.
These warriors, quasi-warriors, elite foot soldiers, and standing foot soldiers serve as low-level officers and core combatants, supplemented by the 890,000 peasants recruited by the Shimadzu family in the four countries of South Hokkaido. The new army with high morale is thus formed.
Shimadzu Yoshihiro and others who intend to build the four countries of Hokkaido into the core territory of the Shimadzu family, did not treat the people in the occupied area as brutally as the Longzaoji family; they urgently need a large number of soldiers to do it in real gold and silver Bait to recruit decisive ones.
In short, the military forces of the Dragon-made Temple family are mostly forced cannon fodder, and the Shimadzu family’s army is mostly willing to join the army. By comparison, the Shimadzu family’s means are undoubtedly More clever than the dragon temple family.
The Hokkaido Allied Forces on Awaji Island lasted for less than half a month. Most of the Allied Forces became the prisoners of the Oda Army. Only a few people chose to fight until the last moment; successfully captured Oda of Awaji. The army immediately launched a cross-sea attack on Apo.
The strength of the Oda family’s naval forces is extremely strong, and it is enough for the Nine Ghosts under the Nine Ghosts Jialong to easily crush the Shimadzu family’s naval fleet; once again choose the Shimadzu navy to avoid the battle and see the Nine Ghosts The navy dispatched and evacuated the Apo waters.
In consideration of strengths and shortcomings, the Shimadzu family deployed two strong defenders near the coastlines of Awa and Sanki, and they pinned their hopes of guarding the Hokkaido on the coast defense; after all, the Nine Ghost Marines are no longer powerful, and it is impossible for them Too many Oda Army came.
