Chapter 957: The Storm in Kyushu (12)

Although the Ryuzoji family, which was used as a trap, was quite dissatisfied with this, it was clear at the time that this battle was served by Tachibana Michiyuki as the general general, and at this moment it was already the time of life and death, and they could not allow any refutation, so they could only obediently set up a battle as soon as they entered the fat and waited for the Kuroda family to throw themselves into the net, and because this matter involved secrets, no one knew about it except for Nabeshima Naoshige, the general who was the chief general of the Ryuzoji family, and the leading generals. And this is equivalent to completely handing over the fate of the Ryuzoji family to the hands of Tachibana Michiyuki, if it does not follow what the strategy says, or if it is a step late in order to weaken the strength of the Ryuzoji family, then the Ryuzoji family will be wiped out.

But although I know, what can I do? If the strength is not as good as others, it can only be slaughtered by others.

That night, it was late at night, and at this moment, although the Ryuzoji family's army was on fire, most of the ashigaru who had not been arranged had begun to rest, after all, there was a big battle tomorrow, and they had a reason and a reason to do so.

But while he and the others were asleep, the Kuroda family's 1,000 troops had quietly crossed Kikuchi Castle under the leadership of Muri Taibei, and it was only a mile away from the Ryuzoji family's residence. If the distance of 500 meters is running, it can be reached in a moment, but in order to achieve the effect of completely defeating the opponent, Muri Taibei still decided to get closer, anyway, he didn't find that there was an opponent's sentry post in front of him, as long as he could get close to the position of about 300 meters, then once he launched an attack, with the combat strength of the opponent's peasants, it would be impossible to organize effective resistance, then the dragon temple family could fight a certain battle, and he could also obtain immortal merit because of this, and he could also use this name to spread the world.

It's just that when he just wanted to continue walking, he suddenly smelled a pungent smell, which was... The smell of fire oil, suddenly Mu Li Taibei suddenly felt bad, he quickly touched the ground, not only his fingers were already wet, but also put it on his nose to smell, the ground was not water at all, but all of it was fire oil.

"It's not good to retreat quickly."

It's just that he still said it a little late, and when he shouted this sentence, he saw a sudden fire. And at this time, it was too late to retreat.

This time it was a sneak attack, so as early as a mile away, a thousand Kuroda troops had already dispersed, and then the two of them marched forward in a row, so with the flames soaring into the sky, the two hundred Kuroda family banners who were marching in parallel with the Muri Taibei were already in the flames.

And the nearly 800 banners that were slightly behind were also confused at the moment, no matter how elite they were, they didn't have any courage at all in the face of the irresistible fire.

At this time, on both sides of the station of the Ryuzoji family, 1,500 Tachibana family flags rushed to kill left and right. Since the distance was only about 300 meters, once they were killed, they came to the front in a moment, and they did not attack immediately, but continued to advance from both sides of the flames, trying to encircle the Kuroda army in the middle of it.

At this moment, because the Muri Taibei had been ignited by the fire, and the enemy was surrounded, the Kuroda army was also in chaos. Although some of the lower-ranking samurai were desperately shouting to control the situation, this did not have any effect at all, and only made the Ashigaru of the Kuroda family feel even more frightened.

And soon something that made him even more frightened happened.,The Tachibana Army is not just outflanked.,But while rushing to the rear of the Kuroda Army.,While constantly throwing the canisters with fire oil in the direction of the Kuroda Army in the middle.,As these bottles and cans landed,The fire not only burned more vigorously.,And the Kuroda family's army that wasn't burned just now.,But with the fall of these canisters full of fire oil,And ignited.,At this time,No matter how those Kuroda family samurai stop it, He couldn't organize his troops and fled.

In the blink of an eye, the Kuroda army had already fled for their lives, and the Tachibana army could not let them escape easily. The 700 troops led by Tachibana Somao on the left and Miike Town, a retainer of the Tachibana family on the right, had already launched an attack on the Kuroda army that was fleeing when the other party was fleeing, and at this time, if the Kuroda army could break through to a point, they could completely break the encirclement of the Tachibana army with their combat power, but at this moment, the army's heart was in turmoil, and the mother of the Taibei had already lost their lives in the sea of fire, so now they didn't care about what to assemble and fled for their lives.

In this way, it is not the opponent of the Tachibana Army, which has been prepared for a long time.

Soon, in addition to the more than 300 Kuroda family samurai and Ashigaru who died in the sea of fire, the remaining more than 600 troops have been killed by the Tachibana army more than 20%, but it is not possible to wipe out all the 1,000 Kuroda army, if the other party wants to run, he can stop a few people, so even if the Tachibana family army is very hard, but after killing more than 100 enemy soldiers, he still let the other party run clean.

However, this is enough to be proud of, in less than half an hour, they wiped out more than 500 elite members of the Kuroda Army, which is definitely the biggest victory since the Kuroda Guards caused the chaos in Kyushu. Although 500 men were not many, the elite of the Kuroda army only had 3,000 men in total, and this battle was enough to make Kuroda Kanbei realize that the samurai in Kyushu were not as easy to deal with as he thought.

Kuroda Kanbei, who was sitting at Kuma Castle and waiting for good news, couldn't believe his ears when he heard the news that not only had he not won the victory, but that the family's No. 1 fierce general, Muri Taibei, had been killed, and then he realized that he seemed to be a little careless. Although he was devastated by the loss of his family's general, he finally made a decision to ask the Shimazu family to continue the attack on Otomo in the name of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. And since the Kuroda family currently has less than 2,500 troops left, after pondering for a while, they still made the decision to cage the city. At the moment, he only hoped that the Shimazu family would be victorious, so that the Otomo family had to transfer the forces that were about to reach the outside of the castle to the southern front.

And the Shimazu family Yoshihisa didn't want to wade into this troubled water again, for him it was a blessing in misfortune to be able to recapture Osumi, and it was even more unexpected to be able to capture Hinata, which was enough of a joke for the Shimazu clan for a while, but when they received the order from the Kuroda Kanwei, even if they were unwilling, they didn't dare to disobey the order of the Toyotomi family, but fortunately, the current Otomo family was completely different from before, so he still accepted the order and led 5,000 troops to attack Toyogo.

It's just that God saw that the Otomo family was beaten too badly last time, so this time it was not Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was both civil and military, but Shimazu Yoshihiro, who was known as Onishi Manzi.

Shimazu doesn't need to say much about prowess, but he is not brilliant at resourcefulness, or rather he doesn't bother to use those tricks. But it is very unfortunate that this time it is very unfortunate that in addition to the 3,000 troops led by Otomo Yoshitomi himself in the defense of Bungo, there is also Sanada Masayuki to help.
