Chapter 72: Death

But soon the Kuroda family moved on, and everyone in the Miura family was a little relieved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info no matter why, they felt that at least the Kuroda family should not have seen through the ambush, so they were all excitedly waiting for the slaughter of Kuroda's soldiers.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, the soldiers of the Kuroda family, in the rapid approach, the soldiers of the Miura family also began to be more excited. Just when the front soldiers of the Kuroda family came to a distance of only eighty paces from Ogawara, they suddenly stopped, and then dozens of oil and fire arrows used in the siege of the city were shot towards the mountains on both sides.

Shimomi Castle before, it has already tested the effect of the oil fire arrow very well. Although the fire burned a little slowly during the siege, there was absolutely no problem with the power. Now on both sides of the mountains, the dense woods were completely ignited under the dual effect of oil fire and hot and dry weather.

Ashigaru, an unlucky Miura family, not only happened to be splashed with fire oil, but also ignited the oil on his body by the splashing sparks, and his whole body was ignited in an instant. The fire slowly spread all over his body, and the unbearable heat made him scream loudly. He instinctively rolled on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on his body, but it was oil, not ordinary wildfire, and he couldn't get it out by rolling around. Dominated by the desire to survive, he wants to ask his companions for help.

Ashigaru, who had a good relationship with him, saw him rolling on the ground and immediately took off his sackcloth coat to extinguish the flames on him. The idea was good, but in the end, even his own clothes were ignited.

Ashigaru, who turned into a burning man, wanted to come and catch this companion who helped him, but now he was covered in fire, and he still had oil, and if that ashigaru was caught, he would definitely be burned as well. In desperation, that ashigaru could only stab the burning man to death with one shot, which was considered a pleasure for his companion.

There are still a few soldiers of the Miura family who were burned to death like this, but they are definitely a minority for the military strength of the Miura family. But the woods that burned violently in an instant, and the companions who burned and kept screaming, gave the other people a blow to their morale, which was too great.

When Miura Sadakatsu saw this situation and agreed to withdraw from the army, the Miura family soldiers immediately rushed in the direction of Katsuyama Castle.

However, Kuroda Vocational High School has long been prepared for this situation. At this time, Araki Murashige, a samurai of the Kuroda family, had already led a special team of hundreds of people to the rear of the Miura family.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Kuroda family rangers, they suddenly appeared behind him and shouted loudly. The people of the Miura family were even more confused, and they had no will to resist at all, and they went straight from fleeing to fleeing.

The Kuroda family covered up the Miura family from two directions, and this time, under the instruction of Kuroda's vocational high school, they chased after it for more than an hour before the Kuroda family stopped and returned to the army.

This battle of the Miura family can be called a death, originally nearly a thousand people in Katsuyama Castle to entrench, even if the Kuroda family can capture Katsuyama Castle, but it will definitely cause a lot of trouble to the Kuroda family. But the problem is that Miura Sadakatsu is not a person who is willing to be mediocre, so he took the initiative to ambush Kuroda Vocational High School, who likes to play strategy the most, and finally failed to do it and was defeated by the Japanese, losing nearly 700 soldiers (300 kills and 300 escapes), and fled back to Katsuyama Castle with more than 200 people.

At this time, Sanada Masanobu of the East Road led 3,000 troops to Katsuyama Castle smoothly, and once again joined the Kuroda Vocational High Army, and the 5,600 army surrounded Katsuyama Castle, which had less than 300 people left.

"How so? It's supposed to be a clever plan, but how could it be seen through by the Kuroda family? The hateful Qilin'er, who is wise and wise, is indeed worthy of his reputation! Miura Sadakatsu was sitting in the Imperial Pavilion of Katsuyama Castle at this time, looking in the direction outside the city and muttering to himself.

"My lord, I just got the news that the three families of Tada, Kashimura, and Toya, who are attached to the family, have surrendered to the Kuroda family. At present, the two roads of the Kuroda family have merged, and the estimated number of military personnel is about 6,000, and the city has been surrounded. At this time, Mu Guoxin walked into the palace and reported to Miura Sadakatsu, and after speaking, he stood aside and waited for Miura Sadakatsu's instructions.

"Hmmm! It's hard work, you go down first! I'm going to think about it alone. Miura Sadakatsu didn't look at Mu Guoxin, but just waved his hand at him, which was regarded as sending him away.

"Hey!" Although Mu Guoxin was a little worried, he still left the palace with interest.

"Why is there so much difference between the Niko family and the Kuroda family? It seems that this time the Miura family really did something wrong! Miura closed his eyes and whispered, as if there were tears of remorse in his eyes.

At this time, in the camp of Kuroda Vocational High School not far from Katsuyama Castle, Kuroda Vocational High School was summoning the surrendered Ogawara Sadama.

"In Shimo-Ogawara Sadasao, I've met Kuroda-sama." After Ogawara Sadasho entered the camp, he bowed to Kuroda Vocational High School.

At this time, Ogawara Sadasho was very respectful in order to survive. Everything he did was to make a good impression in front of Kuroda Vocational High School, so that he could save his life.

"Hmmm! Sanada-sama has already told me everything about you, and I am very satisfied that you were able to lead your men to surrender voluntarily. Kuroda said with a smile.

"Is that so? I am very grateful to Kuroda-sama. Ogawara Sadasho bowed to Kuroda again.

"Hmmm! I heard that Ogawara-sama is the brother of Sadakatsu-sama Miura? Kuroda asked.

"Hey! Under is the fourth brother of Miura-sama.,Passed to the Ogawara family as an adopted son since childhood.。 Ogawara Sadasho replied, he also deliberately mentioned his identity as the adopted son of the Ogawara family, and wanted to try his best to put aside the relationship with the Miura family.

"I see! Since adults grew up in Ogawara, it's really a pity, and I wanted to ask about Katsuyama Castle! In that case, Ogawara-sama can step back first. Kuroda said with a pretended displeasure.

Ogawara Zhenshang really didn't think of what he said, and he was almost self-defeating, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "Kuroda-sama, I don't hide it from my lord, I really grew up in Ogawara since I was a child, and inherited the family business of the Ogawara family, but I have been living in Katsuyama Castle in the past few years!" I know a lot about the situation in the city, and what Kuroda-sama wants to know, I must know everything and say everything! (To be continued.) )
