When, with the attack of the blossom shells, the soldiers of the Otomo family rushed out of the castle and prepared to defeat the Kuroda family's army by launching a wave of attacks while the Kuroda family was in chaos, they found out that they were wrong.

Because they found that the soldiers of the Kuroda family, although it was indeed because of the powerful attack of the collapse of the country, so it caused relatively large casualties, but the entire team of the Kuroda family did not seem to be flustered, and after the initial various evasions, they quickly assembled the battle team according to their own team, under the call of each team leader, as if they were waiting for the soldiers of the Otomo family.

When he saw the gate of the castle in the house open and a large group of men and horses rushed out of the city, the Kuroda family soldiers, who had already ended the panic outside, gathered all the deaths of their companions on the bodies of these Otomo family soldiers who rushed out of the city.

So the soldiers of the Kuroda family, under the leadership of their respective leaders, instantly divided into small formations and launched a counterattack against the soldiers of the Otomo family, and their counterattack was full of anger and power, not only quickly defeated the entire military formation of the Otomo family, but also almost attacked the inner city of the house.

Thanks to Takahashi Shaoyun's timely response, he ordered the defenders to close the city gate in time, although in the end he lost some soldiers who were too late to enter the city, but the Otemen Gate of Funai Castle was temporarily saved, which was also a blessing in misfortune.

In desperation, Otomo Sorin's use of a powerful weapon, the national collapse, but not only was he not able to do the same in history, but he was able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy's morale through the effect of the national collapse as he did in history, and then sent troops to defeat his opponent, continuing the rule of the Otomo family.

And just this moment, because he didn't expect that the soldiers of the Kuroda family would be able to resist the powerful momentum in front of the collapse of the country, so he miscalculated from the beginning. As a result, the Kuroda family was defeated outside the city in the end, and the Otomo family lost hundreds of people again, which was really a bolt from the blue for the Otomo family who needed to cage the city for a long time.

It's just that Otomo Sorin is not a person who will give up easily, and the first attack has no effect, so how to use it again to see if it has any effect.

So the next day, the Otomo family again launched an artillery attack on the Kuroda family's camp without any warning. This time, the Kuroda family had already taken precautions in advance, only to see that the Kuroda family's army reacted quickly in the face of the artillery fire of the collapse of the country, and the entire army collectively quickly retreated a mile, and the entire army stopped at a distance of nearly two miles from the inner city of the prefecture.

Such a distance can already ensure the safety of the Kuroda family's soldiers, and at the same time, the country of the Otomo family collapses, and they can't even reach the enemy's edge, so they really lose the meaning of their attack.

After that, there were one after another in the territory of the Otomo family, and some loyal ministers of the Otomo family brought their subordinates, or the people in the territory, to rush into the inner city of the prefecture.

For these people, the Kuroda family should have blocked them all out of the city, because only in this way, in the subsequent attack, the Otomo family could not get any assistance from the new army. And although there are many of them, they are all coming one after another, and it is too easy for the Kuroda family to defeat them.

But under the advice of Shigeharu Takenaka, the Kuroda family still put all these people into the castle. The original defenders of the city plus the people, plus the soldiers and civilians who are now pouring into the city, the number of people in the city has reached nearly 10,000.

Originally, because some soldiers died, so it seemed that the grain stock, which was slightly richer, was again very tense because of the explosion of the population.

Even Otomo Sorin's secret scolding the Kuroda family for being shameless, under the attack of the Kuroda family, these people lost their land, but because of their loyalty to themselves, they risked their lives to come to themselves, and they had to accept them, even if the food was not enough, otherwise they would really be detached.

It's just that after accepting these people, his grain and grass began to look extremely nervous, and there was only so much grain in stock, and the Kuroda family didn't know what the situation was, and how long it would take to retreat.

Now it's the beginning of autumn, the grain has been hung up, and it stands to reason that the soldiers should also go home to participate in the autumn harvest, but the Kuroda family's army has no intention of retreating at all, is the Kuroda family really ready to besiege like this forever?

For the sake of food and grass, Otomo Sorin's organization organized an offensive of 3,000 people, and the final result was that the Otomo family was defeated, the troops were lost, and the Kuroda family was completely victorious. But Otomo Zonglin also felt that he had earned it this time, at least using more than a thousand miscellaneous soldiers to exchange for the loss of three hundred Kuroda elites, which was really worth it, mainly because it could save a lot of grain and grass.

Anyway, the people of the Otomo family didn't dare to go out of the city after that, for the Kuroda family, the Imate Tomoshi was also happy to confront each other like this, the most important thing to starve and kill was to delay time, not to kill more, and now this can effectively reduce the losses on their side, so the two sides formed a tacit confrontation, and only the Otomo family was anxious, for food.

At the time of the autumn harvest, the people of the Otomo family were worried about harvesting the grain in the field, for fear that the Kuroda family would do the same thing as the Otomo family.

But when the Kuroda family's grain collectors entered the various villages within the Otomo family's domain and began to proclaim their policy of five princes and five people, and they actually did so, the people of Bungo Province cheered. Five public and five people, there are no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, for them who are bitter, they can finally barely survive.

What do people need? What ordinary people need is just to be able to live in relative stability. Ordinary people in this troubled world, their demands are even lower, as long as you give them a hope to live, they don't mind living honestly under your leadership.

And it is obviously compared with the previous policy of the Otomo family, for the people. Heixia's treatment of these ordinary people is really much better, and it can even be said that, just like some ordinary people shouted out by themselves, the Kuroda family really cares about them, and the Kuroda family uses virtue politics.

At this point, Kuroda Vocational High School is, after all, a traveler who came here from the next generation, so he will know more about what the people need, and of course it will be easier to win the hearts of the people.

In this way, the people of Bungo Province slowly began to fall to the side of the Kuroda family, and the Otomo family gradually lost the foundation of the people who were the most basic for the rule of Bungo Kingdom.
