Chapter 40: Post-War Assessment
The Mimura family didn't know that at this time, Sakura Nobumune had almost unified the entire Kojima County, so the Mimura family made a big mistake again, and the 1,000 Mimura army had just entered Kojima, and Sakura Nobumune already knew, so he set up an ambush in the small plain place, and fought a big battle with the Mimura family, although it was an ambush, but the quality of the soldiers of the Mimura family was stronger than that of the Sakura people, although they encountered an ambush, but they recovered after a short period of chaos, and finally they lost hundreds of people on both sides. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info After that, the two sides fought a few more battles in Ohara, and they won and lost each other, and after more than ten days of fighting, no one could help anyone, so they could only collect their own troops.
The 3,000 people of the Kuroda family surrounded the Kuroda Castle, and Urakami Chengzong looked at the Kuroda family army under the city, but he didn't have a panicked look at all, in fact, it would be more accurate to say that he had already accepted his fate. When he knew that his brother was dead, he still had a hint of luck, and even some words of joy. So a few days ago, his father Urakami Sokei was seppuku outside Murozu Castle, and the news that many important ministers of the family had surrendered to the Kuroda family made him completely desperate, and he knew that as the heir of the Urakami family, the Kuroda family would never let him go. So he had long been ready to die, but now he seemed calm.
"Ladies and gentlemen, when the time has come to serve the Urakami family, I will stand here and defeat the Kuroda family with you." Urakami Chengzong stood on the city wall and shouted loudly.
But this time the Kuroda family's army went out of battle, and the fierce generals came out, for Bizen Province is determined to win, no matter how much Urakami Chengzong is motivated in time, after all, there are only four hundred people in Kanyama Castle, and most of them are peasant soldiers, plus these people really have no momentum at all, even if they repelled an attack by the Kuroda family under the leadership of Urakami Chengzong, but because of heavy casualties, the follow-up is weak. During the second siege of the Kuroda family, the castle was breached, and Urakami Narimune ended up seppuku in the Imperial Pavilion, just like Urakami Munekei, ending his teenage life. This is the fate of the heir of the martial family, the family is prosperous, with the rising tide, the family suffers, death may be the final destination, no matter how capable you are, you don't care if you are an old man, or a baby in swaddling clothes, everything is fate.
Because his second son, Higasa Yorishige, died in Murozu Castle, Higasa Yoribo, the lord of Higasa Aoyama Castle, did not accept the Kuroda family's request for surrender when the Kuroda family's army came to the castle, but gathered more than 200 people to defend the castle and prepare to attack the cage castle.
The two fathers and sons, Higasa Yoribo and Higasa Yorinori, looked at the thousands of Kuroda troops under the city from the city wall, and they all knew that this time it was estimated that they would not escape. In the previous battle with Miyata Koji, the Hikasa family suffered heavy losses, and although two hundred people were gathered this time, the actual combat effectiveness was much inferior to the strength of the Higasa family before.
The Hikasa family was unwilling to surrender, and the Kuroda family was reluctant to say anything, Kuroda Zhitaka directly waved his hand, and thousands of people advanced at the same time, the crossbow ashigaru opened the way in front, and the samurai and miscellaneous soldiers followed behind, and the Kuroda family easily began to attack the castle.
Kuroda Iei, Kobei Musato, Yahachi Dohi, Moriharu Otani, Mitsuji Miyata, Yoshitoshi Kogawa and other fierce generals came out together, and opened several big gaps in Higasa Aoyama Castle at the first time.
But what they didn't expect was that the Kuroda family was going to abolish the castle at all, so they didn't think about protecting the buildings in the castle, such as the Imperial Pavilion. Therefore, after seeing them retreat into the Imperial Pavilion, the Kuroda family directly destroyed the wooden walls of the Imperial Pavilion and entered the Imperial Pavilion through these holes, instead of storming the gate of the Imperial Pavilion.
Although Higasa Yoribo and Higasa Yorinori knew that they could not do anything, they still fought to the end with their clansmen and retainers, and died under the combined blows of many ashigaru of the Kuroda family.
At this point, Bizen Province has basically been pacified by the Kuroda family. Later, in the new territory of Bizen Province, the Kuroda family began to demolish the castle, and some small wealthy families were reluctant to transfer or demolish the city, but the Kuroda family disposed of it, well, after exterminating more than a dozen small wealthy clans, the other wealthy families and people knew the methods of the Kuroda family, and all accepted this mandatory order. After that, the Kuroda family worked on land inspection to determine the newly acquired land so that it could be rewarded after the war.
After the autumn harvest, the Kuroda family held a grand post-war evaluation and celebration at Kuroda Castle, and the entire palace was filled with no less than 100 Kuroda samurai, wealthy clans, and countrymen.
"The lord has arrived, everyone is quiet"
