Chapter 1099: River Territory (7)
The army on Zhang Zhongjun's side did not enter the valley, except for being startled by the enemy army that collapsed with the previous blow, and more waiting for the arrival of the army behind.
Because of the existence of the marching spell, the speed of the march was not slow, especially after suppressing the ambushers sent by the River Leader Martial Arts Alliance to specifically block the march, so it didn't take long for the avenue outside the valley and the open space around the avenue to start gathering troops one after another.
The troops in front began to assemble, and on the road behind them, you could still see the marching team spreading like a light snake.
As for whether it will collide? Just kidding, the mages who cast the marching spell with the army eat dry food? And the development of this marching spell didn't take this into account?
It's the same as driving, when you see something wrong in front of you, you will naturally reduce your speed and stop, and even if you don't see it, the mages have a spell connection with each other, and they will naturally be notified by the troops in front.
And the reason why you can be attacked, it is not because people come to a sudden attack, it is also the same as driving, you are driving on the road, and suddenly someone throws a stone at you, or suddenly a car slams into you from the side, which you can't react to no matter how sensitive you are! It's a complete emergency.
Of course, the Kurokawa family was not waiting outside the valley, and when they saw that the Jianghe Leader Martial Arts Alliance had begun to send troops into the valley, they did not hesitate, and arrived at the few troops blocking the mouth of the valley early, so they naturally subconsciously rushed into the valley.
They don't need orders from above, they make decisions on their own, this is the right of the vanguard troops, because one of them is to explore the way for the large army behind, and the second is to prevent the enemy from suddenly rushing to kill them, so they must first rush up to stabilize their position.
They were taken aback before, and when they saw such a valley terrain again, it stands to reason that they would definitely explore it before entering. But who let the enemy army already pour in like a tidal wave from the mouth of the valley on the opposite side, and must meet it no matter what.
However, the Jianghe Leader Warrior Alliance stopped when it reached a third of the valley and began to deploy its troops. And the several troops on the side of the Kurokawa family, when they saw this situation, they still didn't know what was going on, so they naturally stopped at the position where they entered the valley in the third of the valley, and then began to survey the terrain, and also prepared to clear the ground for the brother troops behind.
Seeing this situation, everyone on the Kurokawa family's side couldn't help but nodded, this is preparing for a hand-to-hand fight, a decisive victory, this is good, the most annoying thing is to attack those castles one by one. It's hard to say that the boredom of fighting these castles alone is extremely explosive.
In the past, Zhang Zhongjun took over a village that I could fight, so I was excited to rush to do it, and when I got to the back, I changed it to rush to fight the town, and then to rush to fight the county seat, and they had no interest in these fortresses in the villages and towns.
Of course, this is for samurai who are high enough in status, or should be said to have enough merit and are somewhat lazy.
For the low-level samurai below, he meowed, Lao Tzu's merits have not been at all! The village can't be grabbed and beaten! Because the army of the Kurokawa family is too much, and there are only two counties that can be attacked, and the county town is robbed by the boss's boss, and the town is robbed by the boss, so he has to rob the village with his vast colleagues, and in the case of more monks and less porridge, it is very often that the samurai who cannot grab the task of attacking the village are definitely a lot of them.
So after Zhang Zhongjun issued the order to occupy the entire Jianghe Territory this time, the most excited people were not those high-ranking officials, but the lowest-level petty officials, yes, the lowest-level civil and military officials.
Needless to say, the military attache is so huge, and there are so many villages, you can definitely grab one for yourself, and if you are lucky, you can grab two more to attack, so that you can get meritorious service in exchange for land and so on.
They are very sad, not to mention those samurai who were promoted because of their military exploits, Zhang Zhongjun alone unified the two counties and recruited samurai with large votes.
If the original rules were followed, even if the Kurokawa family occupied two prefectures, the number of samurai under their command would not increase too much. But the Kurokawa family follows the rules of the Isshiki territory, and all the samurai in the territory are direct retainers of the Kurokawa family, and the door is open to recruit the retainers of these retainers who have been turned into retainers to be the direct retainers of the Kurokawa family.
Faced with this situation, unless they couldn't leave the original lord for various reasons, the retainers of the other samurai families all flocked to the Kurokawa family.
This is normal, because the samurai family is a retainer, which means that they do not have the authority to automatically expand their territory, and their territory can only be expanded by completing the tasks given by the Kurokawa family, and then exchanging it through meritorious service, unlike before, as long as their own strength is enough, they will snatch the land they can grab when they see an opportunity.
Therefore, under this kind of restriction, these martial artists have almost no room for expansion, or expand their territory through tasks and merits, and the martial artists will definitely not release their knowledge and deeds to the outside world.
And the retainer has no land reward, what kind of retainer should he meow, and the Kurokawa family is recruiting people here, and he won't ruin his reputation if he goes to the past, so why don't he rush to the past!
Since so many retainers under the command of the samurai have switched over, and they have to add those well-informed wild samurai who have joined the whole leader, it is conceivable how many samurai under the command of the Kurokawa family are directly under the command of the Samurai. And there are more than the number of tasks, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is.
And what about the little civil servant, of course, he is also very much looking forward to taking control of the village that has just been defeated. Don't look at these little civil servants in ordinary times, they seem to be very awesome if they know a little bit of literature and art, but the Kurokawa family has attracted too many literati who have poured in from Quanling, and the big literati don't talk about it, these are all crowded around the lord, or the pen and a few other officials to work.
Needless to say, these great literati will definitely bring a vote of children when they come to defect, and these children will definitely follow their teachers to occupy the free positions up and down the system.
And what's even more excessive is that the Kurokawa family vigorously engaged in cultural training, and many samurai who were not good at martial arts all changed their careers to become civil officials, and began to cultivate their own descendants.
These little civil officials are as aggrieved as those little samurai, there are too many people, there are few tasks, and the competition is fierce!
Therefore, they are the people who are most interested in the expansion of the Kurokawa family, and they are also the most supportive people, and they are eager to wipe out the rebel army of the river leader at once, and then let themselves gallop around in this huge river territory.
