Matsuura Hizen Mamoru felt that this was not enough, after all, the Kuroda family on the opposite side had an army of 15,000 people, and Kishiwada Castle, as a big city, as the ruling center of Izumi Province, such a large city with a huge mask, only 500 people under his command defended it, and it was absolutely impossible to defend it.

Unless Matsuura Hizen Mamoru kicks his legs and is willing to give up the defensive facilities such as Sannomaru on the periphery, and just guard Honmaru and Ninomaru, then with his current strength, he can still do it temporarily.

So as soon as he got the news that the Kuroda family was preparing to attack, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru organized his own subordinates, and carried out a compulsory requisition of the villages around Kishiwa Castle and the ordinary people of the castle town, as long as they were men who could walk, as well as strong women, all of them were recruited into Kishiwada Castle as a force to defend the city. This time he really gathered as many as one or two thousand people, and at this time, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru had a little confidence in resisting the attack of the Kuroda family.

Kishiwada Castle is a well-known fortified castle, and if there are enough soldiers in the castle to defend it. Even if the Kuroda family is extremely sharp in attack, it will inevitably be greatly hindered.

And Matsuura Hizen Mamoru felt that it was an opportunity to prove his ability and at the same time make a name for himself. If you can grasp the opportunity well this time and you can resist the attack of the Kuroda family, then it is very likely that after the retreat of the Imate Tomoji, you will get some benefits from Matsunaga Shu, and at the same time, you will be able to become famous all over the world.

After all, it is the one who can defeat the Kuroda family, and so far there are only two people, the castle town and the Kai family, and the castle town has become history with the castle valley castle, and the Kai clan directly surrendered to the Kuroda family, if he can have such a reputation, even Matsunaga Shu will be destroyed by the Kuroda family, and he will still have a way to live.

It is true that the entire western country is the world of the Kuroda family, but in the entire Kanto, there are countless large and small forces, how can they resist the Kuroda family for a period of time, and they will become famous generals of the Warring States, and these people are absolutely willing to accept themselves by virtue of this, I tell you that I am a famous general who can resist the attack of the Kuroda family, which famous family can resist the temptation of having such a famous general.

It's just that Matsuura Hizen Mamoru missaw one point, that is, the army of the Kuroda family is not the kind of army of the old-fashioned daimyos, and it will collapse at the slightest touch, and the siege is powerless. The soldiers of the Kuroda family are all professional soldiers, so their morale is very high, and even if there is a relatively large injury, they can continue to fight under pressure.

At the same time, coupled with the Kuroda family's various siege weapons, such as crashing wooden carts and oil fire arrows, so often in the siege battle, they can be more brave than the soldiers of other great names, and it is precisely because of this that the Kuroda family can conquer everything when attacking the city, and every battle will be won.

When the Kuroda family's Urakami Kiyomune led his team to launch the first attack, it was met with relatively large resistance from the defenders of Kishiwa and Tian Castle, and this fierce battle lasted for a long time, which also made Matsuura Hizen Mamoru reacquaint himself with the Kuroda family's army. In this case, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru was only able to redeploy his defensive strategy.

In this place, we have to say that Matsuura Hizen Mamoru does still have a certain ability, he knows that just by relying on these centaurs in his hands now, especially when most of them are ordinary people who have no combat effectiveness, if he still has to defend against the Kuroda family's attack, he is not the Kuroda family's opponent at all, so he very decisively gave up the peripheral Sannomaru and Sannokura.

And the army under Matsuura Hizen only needs to guard Honmaru, Ninomaru and Ninokura, which greatly reduces the area of the entire defense. You must know that the area of Kishiwa Tajo Honmaru and Ninomaru is also not small, enough for one or two thousand people under Matsuura Hizen to carry out defensive arrangements.

The defense system of Honmaru and Ninomaru has not suffered too much loss at all because of the current situation of Sannomaru, because the defense system in the city is more dense and lethal than Sannomaru, which is more conducive to the defending side to play its own battle.

It's just that after the Kuroda family attacked for three days and failed to break through Ninomaru, the Kuroda family's army suddenly retreated.

Originally, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru was still a little confused at first. I thought it was a conspiracy used by the Kuroda family! After all, in the information that the Kuroda family has obtained before, they all like to use conspiracy and play cards that do not follow common sense.

But when a military officer came to report that the Kuroda family had indeed withdrawn from Kishiwada Castle, Matsuura Hizen Mamoru plucked up his courage and walked to the Sannomaru, looking at the messy field outside in confusion, not knowing what the Kuroda family was doing.

When he stood on the wall of Sannomaru and looked outside the city, he found that the army of the Kuroda family had not only withdrawn, but had been directly pulled nearly five kilometers away from the city, and even felt like he was hiding from Kishiwada Castle.

In other words, the Kuroda family stopped fighting, and when they had already occupied Sannomaru, they withdrew from Kishiwada Castle, and at the same time retreated five kilometers back, which is a very puzzling behavior. Although Matsuura Hizen Mamoru didn't know what the Kuroda family was going to do, it was clear that the Kuroda family was definitely plotting something, or something was going on. However, his instincts told him that no matter what the situation was, this move of the Kuroda family would definitely be bad for him.

Matsuura Hizen Mamoru was not wrong at all, because right now, not far from Wada Castle offshore, the Kuroda family's Ming Kingdom Navy had already lined up with large fortune ships.

This time, the Kuroda family Ming State Navy was personally led by Xu Shouguang, the general of the navy, and more than 40 ships capable of firing artillery were all set off with the army, and their target at this time was Kishiwada Castle, which was less than two kilometers away from them.

Under Xu Shouguang's command, there are naturally people who carry out long-distance attack measurements, as well as the judgment of various wind speeds, the calculation of artillery trajectory, and so on. After all the preparations were completed, all the gunners under Xu Shouguang carried out the preliminary adjustment of the guns and pointed them at Kishiwatian Castle.

"General Xu, everything is ready." At this time, a military attache under Xu Shouguang came to say to him.

"Launch." There were no superfluous words, and when Xu Shouguang, the commander of the navy, finished his two words coldly, forty Fu ships shelled the shore and Tiancheng together.
