Chapter 19: The Seven Cities of Songshan (1)

"My lord, I can't!" "Oki Province can't be abandoned easily!" "Yes, this is the ancestral land!" "Please think twice!" "Yes! It's better to fight with the Kuroda family. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info "At this moment, the retainers of the Hidden Ambition family below are boiling, they are still unwilling to leave the land of the Hidden Ambiguous Country, after all, they have been recuperating here for hundreds of years, and it is really not easy for them to leave!

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have made up my mind, if the family and the Kuroda family continue to resist, the result will only be the destruction of the Oki family, and if the family can go to the state, it will not be an opportunity. The main family has lived here for hundreds of years, and although it has become the overlord of Oki Province, the main family is also unable to enter the island because of this island. For the Oki family, if they want to develop in the future, they must leave the cage of Oki Island, otherwise they will sink forever, can you understand what I mean? Oki Yoshikiyoshi said loudly.

Since the lord said so, the other relatives and genealists couldn't say anything, and on the same day, the Oki family surrendered to the Kuroda family, and the Oki country was successfully suppressed.

After capturing Yamada Castle, the Kuroda family's army began to march to Matsuyama Castle to the west. Halfway through the march, the Kuroda army's army encountered a team with a bamboo finch pattern and a banner. Could it be the team of the Date family? Koji Zhigao thought suspiciously.

But he really thought it right, it was really the military strength of the Date family, but these thirty or so people were a little bit ....... The last question, it turned out to be a poor relative of the Yu Oida family in China, and the head of the family was called Date Masahiro (definitely a dragon set, just a dragon set, the kind with few scenes), knowing that the army of the Kuroda family had come here, and specially brought all his subordinates to join the Kuroda family.

But this one named Date Zhengheng, all his subordinates add up to these thirty or so people, isn't it a little too miserable? This is purely a little lord in Beizhong! However, since someone sent cannon fodder over, the Kuroda family was still very happy, so Kuroda Jobaka happily incorporated Date Masahiro and his team of more than 30 people into the Hao clan team and continued to march.

Matsuyama Castle itself is the core of China's fortification and domination, but the most difficult thing to conquer Matsuyama Castle is the defense system of the Matsuyama Seven Castles composed of the six surrounding cities, Matsuyama Castle, Fuchuan Castle, Matsushima Castle, Hihata Castle, Kamo Castle, Guanshan Castle, Miyaluyama Castle, the seven castles are each other's horns, and they are all hedgehogs that are easy to defend and difficult to attack, except for the middle Matsuyama Castle in the hands of the dealer, the other six castles are all in the hands of the three village families or the powerful families attached to the three village families.

And in order to delay the advance of the Kuroda family, the Mimura family left more than 500 troops in Fuchuan Castle and Hihata Castle, counting the other four cities (the dealer will not help the Mimura family, it is good not to fall into the well), the Mimura family has a total of more than 1,600 people here, and the Mimura family hopes to consume the strength of the Kuroda family through this entire defense system, and it is best to force the Kuroda family back in Matsuyama City.

The Kuroda family is now attacking from the southeast to the north, and the first thing they encounter is Fukukawa Castle, which is defended by the Mimura family, and Matsushima Castle of the Matsushima family. At this time, Fuchuan Castle had 200 defenders from the Three Villages family, and Matsushima Castle had 300 people from the Matsushima family. In order to attack Matsuyama Castle, the Kuroda family had to capture the Seven Castles of Matsuyama together.

The first thing the Kuroda family encountered was Matsuyama Castle and Fuchuan Castle, and after the army came to the castle, the Tongxin people immediately sent the geographical location of the nearby seven cities, as well as the nearby roads and rivers.

The army of the Kuroda family did not rush to attack the city, but Harada Yoshitane and Hanafang Masayuki each led a thousand people to be placed under the two cities of Matsushima Castle and Fuchuan Castle, monitoring the soldiers in the two cities, and did not take the initiative to attack the city, but set up a camp.

The defenders of Matsushima Castle and Fuchuan Castle didn't know what the Kuroda family was going to do with this arrangement, and anyway, the Kuroda family didn't attack the city, and they were happy to be quiet.

However, it didn't take long for an ashigaru to arrive at Hihata Castle, saying that there was an urgent military situation from Matsushima Castle to see the castle guards. As soon as the guards heard of the urgent military situation, they immediately summoned him.

"Who are you, and what is the emergency military situation, tell me quickly." The guard shouted.

"Koheiji in Shimomatsushima Castle, the ashigaru of the Matsushima family of Matsushima Goemon is a member of the family, and he came to ask for help at the order of the lower lord." That Matsushima Castle said anxiously after turning his head lightly.

"Asking for help?" The warden of Hihata Castle asked suspiciously.

"Yes, my lord, the main family's Matsushima Castle and the main hall of Fuchuan Castle have been besieged by the Kuroda family, and the lower lord asked Zai Xia and five other people to come out for help, but only the next person was able to escape from the siege of the Kuroda family." Ashigaru said honestly.

The guard general glanced at Xiao Pingci and could see that this Xiao Pingji seemed to be a short and concise person on the surface, and he should be considered a good soldier in the Matsushima family, and there seemed to be no problem in sending it out to deliver the letter.

And at this time, this Xiao Pingji is gray-faced, there are still a few blood stains on his body, and there are gaps cut by knives on the clothes on his body, but he is fine, the situation should be very urgent at that time, but he is very lucky! Shou made up his brain.

"Well, I know, the number of cities around our Matsuyama City are all arranged by the lord for the Kuroda family, and they should have been watching and helping each other, don't worry, you can go back to the city to report the news first, and I will send someone to inform the other cities." The Keeper said.

"Xiaoping's second acting lord has thanked my lord." After speaking, Xiao Pingci kowtowed three times to the guard.

"Alright, you go down first!"

"Hey!"

Soon after the letter was delivered at Hihata Castle, the three cities of Kamo Castle, Kanayama Castle, and Miyaroyama Castle all knew about the Kuroda family's attack. Each of the four cities immediately sent a part of their men, a total of 500 men, to join forces and prepare to harass the flank of the Kuroda family in order to reduce the pressure on Matsushima Castle and Fuchuan Castle.

In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Kuroda family, they took advantage of the head snake of the land, and the five hundred people chose a path that bypassed Matsuyama Castle and went directly to the back of Matsushima Castle, preparing to go straight to the rear of the Kuroda family. Of course, the path must be difficult to walk, so after traveling for a long time, they touched the boundary of Songdao Castle.

But just when they were already discussing whether to raid the Kuroda family's main camp, something suddenly happened. Suddenly, a large number of figures appeared on both sides, "Nidan Shooting", and these ambushed people were the crossbows of the Kuroda family, and they shot the crossbows in their hands from both sides.

In an instant, dozens of soldiers from the four families fell to the ground. (To be continued.) )
