Chapter 23: The Seven Cities of Songshan (5)

A small city of two hundred people, and these two hundred people should basically belong to the people abandoned by the three village families, after all, the elite has been taken away by him. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info So such Fuchuan City is really difficult to resist the attack of the Kuroda family.

In the end, Fuchuan City resisted for less than half an hour, the Kuroda family paid the price of more than 30 casualties, including the miscellaneous soldiers, a total of more than 90 people were beheaded, and the other soldiers in the city all knelt down and surrendered, and the Kuroda family did not embarrass them, but they were scattered and incorporated into the Hao army that accompanied the army, if they were cannon fodder for a period of time, maybe they could unload their armor and return to the field, of course, the strong should still be able to enter the Kuroda family's army, but they had to undergo a period of strict training. At least that's a lot better than going into the Kuroda family's captive camp and pulling them to work as coolies.

After resting for half a day, the Kuroda family's army rejoined Matsushima Castle, and after burning down Fukawa Castle and leaving behind Hiratsuka Akihiro's team, Kuroda's army left Matsushima Castle and advanced towards Hihata Castle, a target.

Hihata Castle is located southwest of Matsuyama Castle and south of Kamo Castle, and the distance between Hihata Castle and Kamo Castle is also very close, and you can see each other's silhouettes from both castles.

But now, with the Kuroda family besieging Hibata Castle, Kamo Castle, which was supposed to be an ally, can only turn a blind eye at this time.

Because of the previous ambush on the trail outside Matsushima Castle, the Takahashi family in Kamo Castle was originally only 200 people, and now there are only more than 150 people left in the city, and this is the result of the temporary recruitment of many people from the nearby villages for the sake of safety, but the actual combat power has not increased much.

However, the Takahashi family of Kamo Castle is a wealthy family, and they can also recruit peasants from nearby villages, and Hihata Castle was originally only used by the Mimura family to protect against the Matsuyama Castle family, so a defensive castle was built, and there were no villages around it, so it was impossible to imagine that the Takahashi family could recruit peasants like that. It should have been the same before, and the general of the Hibata Castle who organized five hundred people from four cities to rescue Fuchuan Castle and Matsushima Castle is now sitting in the Imperial Pavilion, and he doesn't say anything there, and he doesn't know what he's thinking, anyway, when he went to rescue Matsushima Castle before, his own brother led the team over, and he didn't have this battle. Maybe he was thinking, now it's finally my turn.

In view of the previous refusal of the Fuchuan Castle Defenders to surrender, and the fact that the Hihata Castle Organization was a four-city alliance before, the Kuroda family thought that most of the Hihata Castle would be like this, and it should not be easy to surrender to the Kuroda family. Since he already thought so, Kuroda felt that there was no need to persuade him to surrender, and after a short rest, the Kuroda family directly set up a position under the castle of Hihata Castle.

For this small city with only more than 100 people left, the Kuroda family didn't think much about it, and directly stepped forward with a crossbow foot light team (gunpowder and projectiles are needed to use firearms, and the Kuroda family still wants to save a little, after all, diligence and thrift are the family style of the Kuroda family). As a result, only 100 people used a salvo, and the city head was suppressed and did not dare to rise, making the 100 people in the second stage of the shooting team extremely depressed.

Immediately afterwards, Saito Nagami, Hanafang Masayuki, Umino Nobuyoshi, and Mibu Kyoshiro each led a team to start the ant-attached siege, and this time it was also Mibu Kyoshiro who was the first to climb the city wall, and like Fuchuan Castle, with his cruel killing tricks, as well as his blood-like shocking eyes, he once again killed the defenders of the three villages did not dare to fight with them, and surrendered on their knees.

At this moment, Mibu Kyoshiro completely won the name of "God of Killing" in Kuroda's family, and when he recovered his original appearance afterwards, he just scratched his head and said that he still had to learn more from his predecessors, anyway, none of the Kuroda family samurai who had seen him kill believed what he said. So he can only find his brother to relieve the depression in his heart after returning to Harima Country, of course, this is all a later story.

Anyway, the four teams of the Kuroda family under the leadership of several samurai,Successfully ascended the city and opened the city gate.,After that, the Kuroda family sent four teams into the city.,Begin to clear the defenders of the Mimura family who are still resisting in the city.,Most of the miscellaneous soldiers in the defenders finally surrendered on their knees.,Only a few die-hard members of the Mimura family.,Under the leadership of the guards, they desperately resisted in the Imperial Pavilion.,Finally, Kyoshiro Mibu was killed by himself.。

The whole battle only lasted more than thirty minutes, and the Kamo Castle on the opposite side saw the strength of the Kuroda family's army, and in such a short period of time, it captured the Hihata Castle, which was the same number as his side, but the Mimura family's defenders were stronger, and to be honest, his heart was broken. The Takahashi family of Kamo Castle closed the city gate in such a frightened manner, and all of them climbed the city wall, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the Kuroda family's army.

Soon after, a situation arose in Hihata Castle.

"Look, my lord, there seems to be a situation in the Hibashi Castle on the other side." A samurai of the Takahashi family pointed in the direction of Hihata Castle and said to Takahashi Katsubo, the head of the Takahashi family.

Takahashi Katsubo looked in the direction pointed by the samurai, and sure enough, it was the location of Hihata Castle, he squinted his eyes for a while and said, "Everyone, the Kuroda family should have burned down Hihata Castle." ”

"What? The good castle burned down" "It's a pity" "The Kuroda family is really different! "Even the city was burned down."

"All right, everyone, get ready to defend the city! The Kuroda family burned down Hihata Castle, so I guess I'll be back soon! Takahashi Katsubo said, holding on to the city wall.

"Hey!"

But the Kuroda family's burning of the castle left a feeling of invincibility in the hearts of the Takahashi family, although the Kuroda family burned down the Hibashi Castle, purely thinking that nature was very useless, but it couldn't restrain the Takahashi family's own brains.

The army of the Kuroda family soon came to the castle of Kamo Castle as Takahashi Katsubo wished, and everyone of the Takahashi family on the wall of Kamo Castle nervously looked at the army of the Kuroda family lined up in a neat military formation, here in China, at least the history of the Takahashi family has hardly seen such a large army, and some timid conscripted peasant soldiers are standing behind at this time, holding their farm tools and trembling.

At this time, a samurai of the Kuroda family walked out of the main formation, came to the castle of Kamo Castle, and shouted at the castle wall: "Listen to the Takahashi family in the castle, Kuro is here to persuade the Kuroda family to surrender, and I hope that the Takahashi family can submit to the Kuroda family, please make a wise choice, and do not make a choice that will be unfavorable to the Takahashi family."
