On July 16, 1562, the fifth year of Eiroku, the lord of Iwashu Castle in Asalaku-gun, Tsumitsu Wakaya, suddenly announced that because he had been repeatedly bullied by the Otagaki family, the lord of Takeda Castle, he could not bear it, so he turned his back on the Otagaki family and threw himself into the Kuroda family.

As soon as this news came out, the lord of Takeda Castle in Chaolai County, Otagaki Teruyan, was furious, and directly ordered to gather troops, and two days later, he led 1,500 troops out of Iwashu Castle. Iwashu Castle Lord Wakaya Sumitsu led a hundred of his men to abandon Iwashu Castle and retreat in the direction of Saneda Castle in Kuroda Kamizen-gun before Otagaki Terugen arrived.

Terunobu Otagaki felt that he had received a great humiliation, how could he swallow this breath, so he chased all the way south, until he came to the south to enter Harima Province.

"My lord, further south from here is the Jinmae County of Harima Country, which is the territory of the Kuroda family, we should not chase after it anymore, the more than 1,000 people of this family are still too weak in front of the Kuroda family." A samurai from Terunobu Otagaki stepped forward and pointed to the road to the south.

"No matter, let's chase it first, if we still don't catch up with Wakaya Xuguang before we reach Sanzhi City, it's not too late for us to turn around, and the whole army will continue to advance." Teruyan Otagaki gritted his teeth and said.

"The whole army continues to advance," shouted a samurai from the Otagaki family.

The main road to Harima-kuni Province in the south is a narrow road in the middle of the mountain, which is the only narrow road in the middle, hence the name.

The military strength of the Otagaki family, after entering the real bow pass, can only walk side by side with three people, and the general momentum is very long at once. Terugen Otagaki rode in the middle of the procession, and on the left and right were the samurai of the Otagaki family.

"Two-stage shooting" After Otagaki Teruyan's army completely entered the real bow pass, a cry sounded, and no one in the Otagaki family understood what it meant, because the shout was in the Ming dialect. The Kuroda family's 200 firearms reserve team all selected soldiers from the Ming Kingdom, and the head of the reserve team was Wang Erzhu, one of the two Ming soldiers who demonstrated the Ming firearms to Kuroda at that time. Wang Erzhu used to be a small commander of the Perak battalion, but he was forced to flee overseas because of the oppression of his superiors, and he was proficient in the use of Furlong cannons and firearms. From Li Sanbao, Liming Xinyuan to Ling Wei, Xie Tianqi, and Wang Erzhu, it seems that the Kuroda family has become an accepted place for the fugitives from the bloody plot of the Ming Kingdom.

Two hundred, one hundred people reload ammunition, one hundred people are responsible for aiming, and the division of labor is clear. After the order was given, a puff of smoke appeared in the forest on the left, and the eight or nine Ashigaru and peasant soldiers of the Otagaki family who were close to this side fell to the ground, and even if they were not completely dead, they could not have survived if they had been stained with gunpowder lead bullets. In fact, the death of a few people is nothing, but the sudden loud noise and smoke and fire, coupled with the order of Ming Guohua just now, frightened the ordinary ashigaru and peasant soldiers who advocated religion, and thought that the gods and Buddhas in the sky had sent down heavenly punishments.

Just when the soldiers of the Otagaki family were still in fright, another series of loud noises sounded in the mountain forest on the right. Ten Ashigaru and peasant soldiers of the Otagaki family fell to the ground, and among the dead was an unlucky samurai of the Otagaki family. Just when the Otagaki family's army was in chaos, the third and fourth firearms rang out again, which also took the lives of many Otagaki soldiers, and suddenly pushed, shouted, and even cried into a mess, and the scene was chaotic.

"Stop shooting, ashigaru reserve, kill" Suddenly another voice sounded, this time the people of the Otagaki family can understand, it seems that it is not the heavenly punishment of the gods and Buddhas, it was ambushed, and it should be from the Kuroda family.

Hanabo Masayuki, Umino Nobuyoshi, Hiratsuka Yuhiro, Kinoshita Hidenaga (before going out, Kodera Vocational High School helped him change his name) and other newly accepted samurai were eager to show themselves, and they all rushed bravely to the front with swords, and the two thousand Kuroda family's ashigaru were divided into several reserves, and it was easy to divide the army of the Otagaki family, which was too long, but not thick enough, into several sections, and began to slowly surround and strangle.

Otagaki Teruyan looked at the chaotic situation of his family's army in the mountain road, and rode on his horse and said urgently: "Don't mess up, don't mess up, gather together, don't scatter, gather together to resist the Kuroda army." ”

Although Otagaki Terugen shouted desperately, but it failed to play a role, the military situation of the Otagaki family was completely chaotic, except for the relatives samurai around Otagaki Terugen and dozens of brave and clever Ashigaru, the other Ashigaru and peasant soldiers were in chaos, Otagaki Terunobu finally gathered more than a hundred people, and began to storm the entrance to the direction of Tajima Province in the direction of Mayudo Pass, hoping to break the blockade of the Kuroda family and return to the territory of Tajima Province.

When Otagaki Terumin led people to break through the siege, the reserves of the two brothers, Yoshimi Irita and Irita Qinli, were the last reserves to block the road. In the confusion, Otagaki Teruno's men and horses quickly broke through to the valley mouth of the real bow pass, and as long as they broke through the Irita reserve, they could return to Tajima without a hitch.

Kosai Town's Naoban team was directly behind Otagaki Teruyan's men, and when he found Otagaki Teruyan, they had already broken through his own defense, so angry that he gritted his teeth, and immediately took a spear and led people to chase after Otagaki Teruyan.

Several relatives of the Otagaki family, seeing that the Irita brothers brought people to kill back, immediately raised their swords and rushed up, firmly entangled the Irita brothers, although the Irita brothers have courage, but they can't withstand the siege of a few people, taking advantage of this opportunity, Otagaki Teruyan led people to rush over.

At this time, Kosai Zhennao had just come to the end of the real bow pass, and when he saw that Otagaki Terunobu was about to leave this place, he picked up a spear on the ground and threw it with all his strength in the direction he was fleeing. Under the strong action of the spear, with the sound of breaking the wind, it rushed straight towards Otagaki Teruyan. A ashigaru saw a spear flying towards his lord's back, and immediately jumped up with all his strength, just using his body to resist the spear of Kosai Zhenzhi, and he himself was carried out by a huge force for three or four meters, and when he was nailed to the ground, he had no breath.

With a knife that overturned a palace army of the Otagaki family, Xiao Sakai Zhenzhi saw the scene just now and shouted "Damn". After that, another samurai of the Otagaki family killed, he blocked the samurai's knife with a knife, and killed the samurai with a backhand, and looked viciously in the direction of Otagaki's escape.

The Kuroda family's military strength and the soldiers of the Otagaki family fought for half an hour, and the Kuroda family killed more than 400 samurai and miscellaneous soldiers, including five famous samurai of the Otagaki family, and the samurai of the Otagaki family were seriously reduced, surrendering more than 300 people, and more than 100 people fled. The Kuroda family suffered a hundred casualties and no samurai killed, and another great victory.
