Chapter 9: Doi Castle
Since the Kuroda family had decided to attack Mimasaka, the Kuroda family soon did a good job of gathering troops under the order of Kuroda Jobaka. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info actually has nothing to assemble and prepare, all the soldiers of the Kuroda family's own family are basically gathered in so many military camps, and the Kuroda family's grain and grass are also very concentrated, and it is also very easy to deploy. Since personnel and food and grass are not a problem, it will naturally become easier to go into battle.
The 3,000 soldiers of the Kuroda family who went out this time were 200 crossbow ashigaru troops, 800 experienced standing ashigaru and 2,000 ashigaru recruits, and hundreds of people accompanied them as small lotus packs.
And when the Kuroda family had already made all the preparations, the assembly of the Niko family had just begun at this time, and the people of the wealthy clans of the Boqi Province and Kita County were actually reluctant to go out into battle with the Misaku Kingdom. After all, there are only 4,000 people in the Nizi family this time, although they are the wealthy people who bully the Meizuo country, but to be honest, they are not very confident. And with the consistent urine nature of the Nizi family, even if these wealthy people suffered a lot of losses in the subsequent battle of the Mizuo Kingdom, it is estimated that they will not get any benefits from the Nizi family in the end, after all, they are all second-class citizens!
It was precisely because he was worried that he would suffer irreparable losses in this battle of Misako, so the people of the wealthy clan in the Nizi family and the Kita county all played small tricks.
On the surface, they did not say that they did not want to go, but they dragged their feet when they went to the border to assemble, and finally the assembly took nearly ten days before the assembly was completed. And the procrastination of the Nizi family, and the move of assembling on the border of the United States, completely attracted the attention of the people of the United States.
But because of this, the Kuroda family must thank the Niko family for their selflessness, because under the pressure of the Niko family to rally to the border. The people of Misaku thought that the Nizi family was going to attack Misaku, so the wealthy families located on the border between the Nizi family and the Misaku country mobilized with all their might.
If that's the case, the Kuroda family wouldn't be grateful to the Niko family. However, because the Kuroda family did not move, only these wealthy people who were located on the border of Mimasaka and Niko were deeply aware of their lack of strength. They came up with a good idea, and they also appealed to other wealthy families in the country for help, calling friends and friends to help resist the invasion of the Nizi family.
In fact, the wealthy families in China can not be rescued, but I heard that the Nizi family raised a heavy army this time and assembled for ten days, these wealthy families couldn't sit still. They actually didn't know the specific number of troops sent by the Nizi family, but the Nizi family had been assembled for ten days, so how many people did it take to assemble for ten days? I'm afraid that there will be no less than six or seven thousand people! And the most terrifying thing is that the Nizi family can really get so many people.
In this case, the wealthy families located in the country of Misaku do not dare to continue to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai anymore, and they still know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, so before the Nizi family goes out to the Misaku country, these wealthy families have already completed the increase in personnel to the border, and it can be said that the Nizi family is really going to face the resistance of more than half of the people of the Meizuo country this time.
Relatively speaking, because the Kuroda family did a good job of secrecy and assembled quickly, Misakuni didn't know that in addition to the military strength of the Niko family in the Boqi country, there was also an army of the Kuroda family Harima country that was also eyeing the sidelines.
After getting most of the wealthy families of Mimasaka Province to go to the border of Hakugi Province, Kuroda Zhigao smiled, and took Musato Takatomo, Otani Moriji, Araki Murashige, Kinoshita Hidenaga, Kato Kiyotada, Sugihara Iesada, Mizuri Junnari and others and 2,200 troops to set foot on the streets of Ohata Street, and under the rapid march, it took only half a day to enter the Hideta County of Mimasaka Province from the assembly area.
And the Kuroda family has another army, that is, Sanada Masanobu, Umino Nobuyoshi, Kosaii Zhennao, Saito Nagami and others led by Shigeharu Takenaka, as well as 800 people, entered Mimasaka Province through the streets of Masakashi, and their goal was Yoshino-gun in Mimasaka Province.
Kuroda Vocational High School's military strength had just entered the territory of Mimasaka Province through the Ohata Street, and he encountered the Doi Castle of the Tsunoda family, which was built against the mountain and was a mountain castle, although the scale was not large, but it was in line with the strength of the Tsunoda family.
The Kakuda family is a wealthy family of 35,500 stones, with about 200 people and horses in the family, and there are two separate clans around the city, Takeda and Kashihara, as horns, which can be regarded as having a relatively mature defense system. You must know that more than ten years ago, the Tsunoda family successfully repelled the attack of thousands of people from the Urakami family through this defense system.
The Kuroda family came very suddenly, so that the Tsunoda family did not come and gathered troops, but fortunately, when the Kuroda family entered the territory of the Tsunoda family, there were still people who went to Doi Castle to report the news, so the Tsunoda family was able to close the city gate in advance.
At this time, there were only more than 100 people in Doi Castle, and after getting the news that there was an attack by a large army, Tian Rongyi, the protagonist of the family, immediately dressed up and walked quickly to the city wall.
"My lord, you see that is the Fujiba Banner, the army of the Kuroda family." A samurai of the Tsunoda clan pointed to the castle and said.
"It's so hateful, what about the meticulous work of this family? Isn't it always in Harima Country, and news is still coming out from time to time? Why did the Kuroda family come to attack the main family for such a big thing, and didn't get the news until the Kuroda family had already entered the main family? Eiichi Tsunoda said with a look of anger.
Actually, he should be glad that the Tsunoda family's fine work was killed by the Kuroda family's concentric people before going out of the battle, if it weren't for the Kuroda family never killing ordinary people, even the people who reported the news would be killed by the concentric people, and then it is estimated that the Kuroda family went to Doi Castle, and the Kanoda family didn't know about the situation, and now at least the city gate was closed, and some people were gathered, which is good.
"No! My lord, it seems that the Kuroda family has 3,000 people this time, and it is difficult to resist the attack of the Kuroda family with the men and horses in the city! Another Tsunoda samurai said anxiously.
"Hmmm! Indeed, it's really distressing! After being reminded by the samurai, Eiichi Tsunoda realized that it would not be very realistic to resist the attack of the Kuroda family with only such a small number of people.
He grabbed the city wall and said, "Hurry up to Takeda Castle and Kashihara Castle for help, and ask them to avoid the Kuroda family's eyes and ears as much as possible and enter the city through the secret passage." ”
At this time, after observing the castle for a while, Kuroda Vocational High School already had a general understanding of Doi Castle, and immediately said to Kinoshita Hidenaga: "Kinoshita-sama, you go to the castle to shout and persuade you to surrender, you don't need to enter the castle, the other party will withdraw if there is hostility, and you must pay attention to your own safety."
