"I'm willing to persuade the Otagaki family to surrender," Kinoshita Hidecho suddenly stood up and said. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Kodera Zhigao looked at Kinoshita Hidenaga, who had just turned twenty years old, and he was also an underestimated person in history! Looking at his flickering eyes, you know that he is very good at figuring out his intentions, which means that this person attaches great importance to fame. If he was also born as a peasant, would he be worse than his brother, the monkey of the Oda family? What would happen if he was allowed to grow up? Will it be the lubricant of a top power, as in history, or will it become the next monkey and usurp the Kuroda family? All right! That's all for later, and I'm thinking too much about it now.
"It's dangerous, Kinoshita, you can think clearly." Kodera Vocational High School still looked at Takeda Castle, not at Kinoshita Hidenaga.
"I think clearly, I'm willing to die for the Kuroda family," Kinoshita Hidecho said loudly as he half-knelt on the ground.
"Well, that's right! Then there you go! Be sure to keep yourself safe, every samurai is an incomparably important asset to the Kuroda family. After Kodera Vocational High School said this, the samurai present were extremely excited, whether it was from the bottom of their hearts or their acting skills, it would still have some effect anyway.
"Young Master Xie cares, and he will not give up in the next ten thousand deaths." Kinoshita Hidecho said excitedly, he is still a young man, and this excitement should be true.
"Remember that I don't need a dead Kinoshita Hidecho, I want you to come back alive, you go!" Koji Zhigao said lightly, there was no tone, and the samurai next to him thought that this might be the momentum of the superior!
Kinoshita Hidecho came to the castle smoothly, and Otagaki Terunobu also received him. Because of the first meeting, Terunobu Otagaki had already recognized this Kuroda family's current no-go samurai, so there was no embarrassment for him.
"At the Shimokuda family, Kinoshita Hidenaga, I've seen Lord Otagaki," Kinoshita Hidenaga respectfully bowed to Otagaki Teru.
"Kinoshita-sama doesn't need to be polite, this is the second time we've met!" Otagaki Terugen sat on the main seat, although he was asking, but because of the siege of the Kuroda family, he was obviously not interested at all.
"Exactly," Kinoshita said.
"Say it! What are you doing when you come to this house? Otagaki Teruyan asked directly, after all, the Kuroda family has already hit the doorstep, so there is no need to beat around the bush again.
"Lord Otagaki is actually the head of the family, Lord Kuroda Danmasa, and I hope that the Otagaki family can submit to the Kuroda family." Kinoshita Hidecho said.
"Surrender to the Kuroda family?" Terunobu Otagaki didn't immediately refuse, but he didn't agree with Kinoshita Hidecho's statement either, and it was clear that he was still hesitating about something.
"Yes, my lord, as long as the Otagaki family submits to the Kuroda family, the family allows the Otagaki family to keep half of the territory, transfer it to the former country, and at the same time write a table of surrender and send hostages, I don't know what Lord Otagaki thinks!" Kinoshita Hidecho immediately told the Kuroda family about the conditions, and then sat there quietly, waiting for Otagaki Terunobu's decision.
"Kinoshita-sama, I'll just say it directly, I already know the purpose of your coming, I already know the conditions of the Kuroda family, I have already decided, the conditions of the Kuroda family are unacceptable to the family, even if the family name is cut off in the end, my Otagaki family will definitely not submit to the Kuroda family." Otagaki Teruyan said resolutely, as if there was no room for maneuver.
"Your Excellency, please think twice! The safety of nearly a thousand soldiers and people in the city, you don't care at all about the continuation of the family name of the famous Otagaki family in Malaysia? My lord, if you live, the Otagaki family will still have the possibility of rising, if it is really as the adults said, the family name is cut off, and the Otagaki family will have no hope! Adults, please think carefully about the Otagaki family! Kinoshita said loudly.
"This ......" Obviously, Otagaki Terugen didn't expect Kinoshita Hidecho to persuade him with this, but he couldn't accept that he would surrender to the Kuroda family and change from the first person in the Tajima Kingdom to an ordinary retainer, or even deprived of his territory and become a rich man in captivity.
"Kinoshita-sama, what you said is indeed very reasonable, but after thinking about it clearly, even if Takeda is full of disasters, the name of the Otagaki family is decided, and it will not surrender in the next, this may be the last decision I made in my life! Kinoshita-sama, although we have only met twice, but I admire your courage very much, in this troubled time, I think you are a real samurai, I will not be embarrassed for you, so you go! Before I change my mind, hurry up and leave Takeda Castle. The glory of my Otagaki clan will be forged by me and all the people in the city in these days! ”
"In that case, I will take my leave, please take care of Lord Otagaki" Kinoshita Hidenaga saluted Otagaki Teru and turned to leave Takeda Castle.
"Unwilling to submit? Sure enough, Musato Takatomo, ordered the whole army to prepare for the siege, the fire team suppressed the head of the city at a position of a hundred steps, the crossbow foot light sniped the samurai on the city, and the whole army advanced with the collision wooden cart, and then the ants attached to the siege of the city" Kotera Zhigao looked at the busy Takeda Castle in the distance, squinted his right eye, and held the military match tightly with his hand, and he was still unwilling to surrender!
"Hey!"
Seeing that the Kuroda family had begun to prepare for action, the defenders of Takeda Castle immediately moved, and they were running chaotically and busily on Takeda Castle one by one, piling up all kinds of defensive materials, no matter what the defenders thought, at least on the surface, they were trying their best to show that they were living and dying with the city. Of course, except for the peasant soldiers of the Otagaki family, they will always have no morale, they are just forced to pretend under the persecution of the samurai master, and they may be thinking in their hearts at this time that if the Kuroda army fights, they will surrender directly.
The army of the Kuroda family began to march in formation, and the firecrackers stood at the front of the line, and at a hundred paces from Takeda Castle, the entire reserve came to a halt, and a hundred people began to fill the gunpowder and prepare the lead, and the other hundred men aimed at the castle head, and had already found their target on the castle.
"Shooting" With the shouting of Wang Erzhu, the head of the Ming Kingdom, the firecrackers all began to shoot, and after a burst of smoke and fire, twelve or thirteen people fell at the head of the city. After seeing the strength of the Kuroda family's firecrackers twice, no one in the Otagaki family dared to continue to stand swaggering at the head of the city, which would only become a live target for the Kuroda family. Therefore, many of the soldiers of the Otagaki family could only hide behind the battlements to avoid the attack of the firecrackers.
"It's iron cannon again, why can't the Kuroda family fight in an upright way?" After hearing the sound of the iron cannon, Otagaki Terunobu angrily thought that Kodera Zhigao was actually a coward and did not deserve the name of a samurai at all.
