The Maori family really used reasonable tactics this time, and they were all holding back their strength, so in the face of the defense of the Chi Cave family, they attacked very resolutely, and the head of the Red Cave family, Chi Xue Shengqing, finally led his relatives to cut his stomach in the Imperial Pavilion, and the Mao Li family paid the price of one hundred or dozens of casualties. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Kuroda Vocational High School's team was the first to act and the first to solve the battle of Izumo Province, so they were the first to reach the castle of Katsuyama Castle, and the other three armies arrived one after another within a day.

When the Kuroda family met at Katsuyama Castle, the number of people reached more than 10,000, which was another historic number in Misasaka Province, and their goal was to eliminate the Niko family, which was now only Katsuyama Castle.

If there had been time to arrange before, and those wealthy clans, countrymen, and retainers had not rebelled, perhaps the Nizi family, which still had a thousand people, could have made appropriate arrangements in these branches to block and delay the attack of the Kuroda family as much as possible. But now, because of the small number of people, the Nizi family can only be forced to abandon the peripheral branch city and go all out in Shengshan City.

Niko Yoshihisa didn't react at all to the news of the arrival of the Kuroda family, but in the castle tower, a person holding a fine sake jug and pouring himself a drink, which seemed very comfortable at this tense time.

"My lord, the Kuroda family's army has just completely surrounded Katsuyama Castle." Kura Chi Sasuke walked quickly into the castle tower, and after kneeling, he said loudly.

"Hmmm! I see, Zuo Masuke! Nizi Yoshihisa took another sip of wine and said calmly.

"Hey!"

"Zuo Masuke, do you think I'm doing something wrong? Originally, after the rise of the Maori family, my Nizi family was already slowly declining. Even after I became the governor of the house, I managed to defeat the Maori family a few times, and I felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of the Maori family. ”

"The lord ......" Saddle Chi Zuo Masuke wanted to comfort Niko Yoshihisa a few words, but was interrupted by Niko Yoshihisa himself.

"Maori Yuan is really a man of great grace! Because of his appearance, the whole western country is completely different, and my Nizi family is indeed not his opponent, if my great-grandfather (Nizi Haruhisa) and father (Nizi Haruhisa) didn't ...... back then."

In the 23rd year of Astronomy (1554 AD), in order to strengthen his internal rule, he eliminated the old affairs of the Shingu Party represented by his uncle Niko Kunihisa.

The so-called Shingu Party refers to the elite troops of the Niko clan commanded by Niko Haruhisa's uncle Niko Kunihisa and his sons Niko Seihisa, Niko Toyohisa, and Niko Keihisa. Because the residence of Niko Kunihisa is in the Shinnomiya Valley in the north of Tsukiyama Tomita Castle, the main city of the Niko clan, it is called the Shingu Party. I won't go into much detail about the Shingu Party here.

And his father, Niko Haruhisa, although not as long as his grandfather Niko, but after the Battle of Itsukushima, he took advantage of Tao Qingxian's defeat by the Maori family and took away the original Iwami Province of the Ouchi family, and then became the Taishou of the Eight Kingdoms of Yin and Yang. It's just that in December of the third year of Yongroku (1560 AD), he died of a heart attack, which led to the rise of the young Nizi Yoshihisa, otherwise the Nizi family would not have fallen to the current state.

That's why now Niko Yoshihisa has such an sigh, he feels that if his great-grandfather and father are still alive, they may be able to defeat the Kuroda family with their superb abilities, and he is really not the opponent of the Kuroda family!

"You see that Maori Yuan is really a blessing! The sons born are all indispensable characters, Mori Takamoto, Yoshikawa Motoharu, Kobayakawa Takakei, take them out at will, and the family is not their opponent. ”

"At first, I thought that my family would end up in the hands of the Maori family. As a result, after the Maori family, there was an even more terrible Kuroda family...... Ay! This small wealthy family of Harima Country actually rose to the sky, and in just a few years, he swallowed the land of Yin and Yang and several countries, and became a very important and famous family in the Western Kingdom, which is really amazing, it is all that Kuroda Vocational High School! ”

"Lord Lord, in fact, the Kuroda family is not just a capable person in Kuroda Vocational High School, Kuroda Vocational High School and his brothers, in the current opinion, none of them are simple characters, especially that Iate Yushi, who has excellent martial arts and is invincible, he is simply a bad star. Matsui Shigetaka and Kodera Takahisa both showed their fangs this time, and it seems that they are not idle people.

There are also many capable generals of the Kuroda family, Tsuchihi Yahachi, Miyata Mitsuji, Hanabo Masayuki, Takenaka Shigeji, Sanada Masayuki, and many, many more, which is really enviable! Through the abilities of these people, I don't think the rise of the Kuroda family is actually anything particularly surprising. Yasuchi Sasuke lamented.

"Actually, there is nothing to envy, you are right! Zuo Masuke, I also had many excellent retainers, and I didn't need to be envious, it was all because of myself, just like this Shikanosuke, hey...... It's a pity. Nizi Yoshihisa shook his head, in the time of life and death, there were some things that he seemed to finally realize, but it seemed that he realized it a little too late.

"Lord ......"

"I'm fine, it's just that I found that I was still too cowardly, if back then, I could have the Kuroda family, with the pioneering spirit of Kuroda Vocational High School, and be able to stabilize my mind to develop the territory, properly handle the relationship between the wealthy family and the countrymen, develop commerce, strengthen the training of armaments and soldiers, and add the original solid foundation of the family, how could the family fall to the current state."

"My lord, if you say this, your subordinates have more responsibility, if it weren't for us ......" Saddle Chi Zuo Masuke was interrupted by Niko Yoshihisa again.

"Zuo Masuke, okay, I know what you're going to say, it's not your fault and Tachihara-sama, it's because I want you to be a check and balance in the family's governance, but it's also my fault, I've always been aware of this."

"Zuo Masuke."

"Hey!"

"How many men are there in the city?"

"Lord Qiqi, there were originally nearly a thousand people, and after some rats fled to kneel and lick the Kuroda family, there were still less than five hundred people."

"Five hundred! Are they all forces willing to live and die with my Nizi family? ”

"Hey! Although there is no way to compare the combat effectiveness with the Kuroda family, these are the elites of my Niko family, and they are also good men who are willing to die for the Niko family. ”

"Go down and tell everybody that whoever wants to go out of the city, go out of the city now!"
