October 17, 1918 was already half over, and Naito Yoshimori had been staying in Hakamao for ten days.

He looked blankly at the southeast and northeast of Bota, where was the Luo Family Camp, which was half a mile long. Looking from afar, he saw that there seemed to be people walking around everywhere in the camp there, and he even saw someone building some houses there. He couldn't help but think, is the Luo Family going to stand up for a long time?

This time, he did find that he had made many mistakes in the failure of the Luo family's strategy. He had previously secretly incited the various wealthy families in the former China to send troops to the Luo family, and even secretly scattered a large number of weapons, food and grass into Hakata, making Hakata the logistics base for the Luo family to go to the Luo family. All of this operation was quite successful, at least completely confusing the Luo family, causing the Luo family to fall into the ambush circle they set up, and almost lost. Although Masayoshi escaped in the end, the reinforcements of the Danai and Otomo families still maintained their absolute advantage over the Luo family.

Looking back, it was at this time that he found that he began to make mistakes. First of all, he should not be obsessed with the strategy of attacking Luo from both sides. It was he who asked Sugiyoshi as the temporary chief general of the Danui army of the Chihou family, but as the real chief general, he stayed in Hakata and began to plan how to start from the Itu County of the Harada family, cross the Beizhen Mountain and cross the Tangjin Bay respectively. When the Luo family concentrated the main forces in the Chihou Kingdom and the Oto family and the Oto family coalition confronted each other, he entered the country from the Matsuura County of the Huineng Kingdom, the empty Kaimaki Kingdom of the Luo family, and even directly attacked the Luo family's Jucheng, the city of the Rakano Mountain, and gave the Luo family a fatal blow.

At this time, he forgot to consider people's hearts. Yes, it is indeed a matter of people's hearts. As the guardian of the Kumai Kingdom, Sugi Yoshiyuki, was already dissatisfied with Naito Xingsheng in his heart. The Kumai Kingdom, which originally belonged to the Sugi family's sphere of influence, has now been interfered by the Naito family. Even the wealthy families of the Kumai Kingdom, who had always obeyed the Sugi family, ignored the Sugi family, but obeyed Naito Xingsheng. This caused ripples in Sugi's heart. Even when Ototo Yoshiki discussed with him to attack the Luo family's Gaoliang Castle overnight, Sugi's choice to temporarily postpone the attack.

No one knows why Sugiyoshi rejected the Otomo family's suggestion at that time. Perhaps he believed that even if he defeated the Luo family this time, the credit was Naito Hirohiro. In the end, the coalition forces did not attack Gaoliang City overnight. If that night coalition forces immediately attacked and surrounded Gaoliang City, then Masaru would not have time to prepare for a night attack, and the result of this battle might be different. But if there were really, there would not be so many wandering beggars in the world.

After learning that the coalition forces were defeated, Naito Yoshimori, who was discussing with the rich families such as Hakata and Takahashi, immediately sent the Tachiha family and other troops to Akashi Castle in Mihara County, Chigoku, and he stayed in Hakata to continue to organize reinforcements. In his opinion, although the coalition forces were defeated, as long as the collapsed troops gathered together on the north bank of Chigoku River, Akashi Castle was the front line for the Luo family to confront the Luo family again. As long as the front line can be temporarily stabilized in Akashi Castle, the coalition forces will still take the initiative.

This was the second mistake he made. He overestimated the strength of the coalition's defeated troops, and even overestimated the strength of the rich reinforcements of the Tachibana family and other wealthy families, and underestimated the strength of the Luo family (no wonder, after all, this was the first time that the Danai family officially fought against the Luo family. Previous information about the Luo family was just someone else's personal experience, which led to the error of Naito's assessment). So he soon received news that Akashi Castle and Yamaki Castle were besieged by the Luo family's army, and the reinforcements he sent to support were even trapped in the local area. Since then, he found that he could no longer command the wealthy families around Hakata. As the Luo family's army continued to expand its results, these local wealthy families gradually developed some thoughts and no longer firmly supported Naito's command.

Seeing this, Naito Yoshimori immediately came up with a plan. He simply wrote a letter to Ouchi Yoshitaka and asked Ouchi Yoshitaka to immediately organize new reinforcements. Then he entered the territory of the Qiuyue family under the banner of supporting the Qiuyue family and took the opportunity to annex the Qiuyue family. At the same time, he deliberately delayed the reinforcements to support the various tyrants, let the Luo family's military power fight with these tyrants, took the opportunity to reduce the combat power of the Luo family and these tyrants, and delayed the Luo family's army to the local area. After the new reinforcements of the Ouchi family emerged from the ancient mountain castle of the Qiuyue family, they could directly encircle the Luo family's army. This was the third mistake made by Naito Yoshimori.

His idea was good, but he did not expect that the Qiuyue family had a relationship with the Luo family, so he did not expect that the two families would finally negotiate peace. He even did not expect that the reinforcements of his family would be so slow. When the main force of the Qiuyue family returned to the territory of the eastern part of the Chuqian Kingdom, the new reinforcements of the Danai family had just stepped into Yuanga County of the Chuqian Kingdom. The wealthy families who had originally placed their hopes to block the surrender surrendered one after another.

So, after making mistakes again and again, the army of the Luo family had already arrived at Hakata. Because they could not take the opportunity to annex the reinforcements of the Qiuyue family, the Daoui family, had just arrived at the territory of the Zongsi County and Zongsi, which was at least two days away from here.

At this moment, looking at the continuous Luo Family camp outside Hakata Castle, it seemed to mock Naito Xingsheng: "How about it, you understand my power."

It was morning. The sea breeze swept the water vapor on the sea in the morning and hit the building of Hakata, making people feel like a city nestled in fog. Standing on a high place and proudly looking down at the walls and streets of Hakata, Naito Hiroshi only saw a dead Hakata. Due to the arrival of the Luo family army, the people who originally lived in Hakata and nearby fled to the distance to avoid the disaster and life due to the war.

"Report!"

At this moment, an emergency report sounded downstairs, and a warrior rode his war horse and ran towards the building where Naito Xingsheng was.

"Report, sir. Near the estuary of Hakata Bay, a large-scale warship of the Luo family was found. The navy of the Zongxiang family, who was responsible for blocking the sea, had already confronted them."

"Ro Family Naval Army? How is it possible?" Naito Yoshimori was shocked when he heard this. In order to prevent the Ouchi family from sneak attacking from Tangjinwan and Yitu County, the Luo Family Naval Army had been staying on the sea surface of Tangjinwan for alert. How could he take the initiative to run to the sea surface of Hakata Bay to go out to sea? His guess soon came up with an answer. The retainers around him suddenly looked in the direction of Hakata west. It turned out that a large army was coming quickly.
