Chapter 180: Shima Katsu went crazy
In the process of breaking through, even with the help of Hyakchi Tanba, the special force led by Kuroda Toshitaka was in the territory of the people of the Bunzen country, and their understanding of the terrain was still not as familiar as that of the enemy, so in the process of retreating and evading, they still encountered the encirclement and interception of the wealthy clans and people of the Bunzen country.
If you want to talk about it, the reason why they are always found is that all of this is due to the ninjas who have taken refuge in the Otomo family, but fortunately, they have all been disposed of by the Kuroda family. Otherwise, even if Baidi Tanbo is on the side, it is likely to be surrounded and intercepted by the city well and town.
Sometimes the theory is very easy to say, but when you really want to do something, you will find that it is not so easy to achieve, if the thing needs to be done, in fact, there are many constraints, especially such a complex thing as marching and fighting, and even a little change may change the direction of the whole event.
Let's take Baiji Tanba for example, although he was sent by Kuroda Vocational High School, just to bring all the concentric people together to ensure the safety of Kuroda Ritaka's special team.
It's just that Hyakuchi Tanba knows his duty, first of all, he must ensure the personal safety of several young samurai of the Kuroda family, which Kuroda told him privately. No matter how much Kuroda Vocational High School cherishes the soldiers under his command, it is impossible for him to give up the lives of his younger brother and his subordinate generals because of the safety of this special team.
It is precisely because of the secret order of Kuroda Vocational High School that Baiji Tanba has actually been following Kuroda Rigao's side all the time, and there is no way to fight, or to find out information, because there is a responsibility that he really can't afford as a new ninja to Kuroda's family.
At most, when the enemy is close, Baidi Tanba can occasionally kill the enemy and protect the safety of Kuroda Rigao, but this kind of strength is only to eliminate a few shinobi in the Duowen Ninja Village, and it is simply impossible to completely eliminate the other party's surveillance of his team, and to be honest, he is not able to show the strength of Baidi Tanba, one of the three Iga ninjas.
Therefore, after defeating a group of pursuers, under the leadership of Hyakuchi Tanba, in order to avoid possible danger in the future, Kuroda Toshitaka's army was finally able to hide directly in a valley not far from Takase Castle for the sake of safety, and also used footprints to camouflage to make the illusion that the entire Einsatzgruppen continued to break through to the south.
Because the direction of their so-called pretended footprints was indeed the direction in which the castle town thought they were most likely to break through, Kuroda Ritaka and the others finally survived safely. And after getting rid of the pursuit of the wealthy clans and people of the Bunzen Province in this way, Kuroda Ritaka's army has less than 600 people left.
Because he knew that the army led by Kuroda Vocational High had broken through the defenses of Takase Castle and rushed into the castle valley. So now they appeared impressively in the rear of the castle town, and the team directly opposite the Kuroda family to resist the castle town, and began to attack the wealthy clan of the Bunzen country and the motherland from both sides.
Moreover, the Kuroda family's previous team attacking Takase Castle has also been slowly moving to this side. Yahachi Dohi and Nagahide Sasaki had already arrived on the battlefield in advance with three or five thousand men, and they were divided into two flanks to attack the ranks of the wealthy clans and people of the Toyozen country.
The scene of Shima Katsumasa's dying just now happened to be completely seen by his eldest son, Shima Katsuma, this kind of revenge for killing his father in front of him is not shared.
What's more, Shima Shengmeng was originally a relatively filial child, and at this time he saw his father fall in front of him. He simply couldn't control his emotions.
Speaking of which Shima Katsu is actually a person who is very able to restrain himself, among so many children who came out of the training class, his mind is also very firm, and now seeing the death of his father, it deeply stimulates his soul, and his previous persistence, all kinds of strength, have collapsed in an instant without a trace.
His heart was now full of hatred, and he raised the katana in his hand, screaming like madness, despite the fact that he was no match for the castle in the town, and rushed towards the castle town.
And the other partners next to him, such as Kuroda Toshitaka, Kuroda Toshinori, and Kuriyama Riyasu, as well as Kinugasa Keiyan, Takemori Jisada, and others on the opposite side, saw him do this, and they didn't dare to let him go alone, and they all killed him in front of the castle town.
Although everyone knew that Chengjing Zhenfang was powerful, no one wanted to watch Shima Shengmeng go up to death like this, which was something they could not allow to happen.
Because now Shima Katsutoshi is carried away by hatred, so when he rushes over, he relies on a courage, but his body is full of flaws, which is very dangerous on the battlefield, but he has completely forgotten the teachings of Kyojiro Mibu and Hisamomori Takeuchi and others before.
Just as the castle was about to attack Shima Katsumo, he suddenly found that he couldn't do it at all, because he already had to face at least the joint attack of seven or eight samurai of the Kuroda family, including Shima Katsumo.
Although Chengjing Zhenfang is a fierce general, he is also very stubborn, but he is not a fool, he knows that if he continues to attack like this, he will immediately have several more holes in his body.
He has always been the one who has opened mountains and holes in others, but he has never been injured by others, let alone losing his life in order to kill a young samurai of the Kuroda family, which is a transaction that the castle town will never do.
He immediately slashed out a few knives with his katana, and clicked all the katana swords of several Kuroda family samurai around him, and took advantage of this opportunity to get rid of the Kuroda family's encirclement.
At the same time, the castle town house looked at the surrounding situation, in addition to his son the castle hole Asaho was still killing, the people of the Bunzen country were almost under the attack of the Kuroda family, and there was already a sign of collective collapse.
He immediately shouted: "The whole army retreats." ”
The wealthy clans and soldiers of the Fengqian Kingdom immediately broke away from the battle and retreated to the rear.
Shima Shengmeng saw that the town was about to withdraw, and he had to go up to recruit him desperately, not so much desperately, but as an emotional vent, but this venting was fatal.
But before Shima Katsutoshi could take a step, he was held down by Kuriyama Riyan and Aoki Ichishige on the left and right, and was hugged by Takemori Jisada's waist, unable to move at all.
