The second thing that impressed Takenori Ogami was the Kuroda family's new style of fortification. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he can't protect the city according to the terrain around the castle through various ditches like Yasui Doton, he can't protect the castle without leaking. But he did some superficial work, but he still did a good job, and ordered the entire city wall to be coated with wet mud to avoid rocket siege. The walls of Sakamoto Castle were not high, so he ordered to dig a deep ditch and arrange a horse rejection in front of the ditch, turning Sakamoto Castle into a difficult hedgehog.

Koji Zhigao looked at Sakamoto Castle in the woods on the outskirts of the city, and the ninja tactics could not be used, and the entire city was set up according to the city defense of Koguchi Castle, which was not easy to do!

"How?" Kuroda asked anxiously on the side.

"It's not easy to do! The guards in the city are not easy to deal with! Our layout in Koguchi Castle has basically been learned. Now it seems that the only way to attack is to storm it. Xiaoji Vocational High School could only shake his head, saying that he had no choice.

Ninja tactics are sure to be useful at first against unfamiliar enemies, but as long as the enemy is prepared, the likelihood of success decreases. Now Kotera Zhigao is glad that this defender is in Sakamoto Castle, if he is in Taniguchi Castle, there are another hundred defenders, and the terrain is more complicated, with the same arrangement, then this time the Kuroda family's battle, it is estimated that it will be all the harvest to be able to capture Taniguchi Castle.

"Father, attack now! Gather everyone together and I'll try to command once. ”

"Gonggongwei, you must try to minimize your losses!"

"Father, I'll try my best."

When they went out into battle, the Kuroda family prepared siege equipment such as ladders and crashing wood, and the Kuroda family decided to attack the city head-on this time, and these things were just right for use. Counting this, this should be the first frontal attack of the Kuroda family.,Either a sneak attack before.,It's a fraudulent city.,This time it's finally going to attack the city openly with strength.,The Kuroda family's army is in the woods.,After preparing according to the arrangement of the small temple vocational high.,Immediately began to attack Sakamoto Castle.,Try not to give the defenders of Sakamoto Castle time to react.。

The moment the Kuroda family's army left the woods, they were discovered by the defenders of Sakamoto Castle, and one of the defenders at the head of the castle sounded the horn, and the entire Sakamoto Castle moved. Takenori Ogami arranged all the defenders close to the city wall, so he could react as quickly as possible the moment the enemy appeared.

By the time the Kuroda family's army completely entered the sight of the defenders of Sakamoto Castle, most of the defenders were already fully dressed, and more than 100 people had already opened a formation at the head of the castle, just waiting for the Kuroda army to attack.

Takeshi Ogami wore the pair of sufficiency he had brought out of the family, first, because it was the only property his father had left to him, and secondly, because he didn't have the money to buy a new one for the time being. He looked at the Kuroda army under the city, and through the open flames in the city, he took a rough look, more than a thousand people. His hand holding the knife trembled a little, and he was a little excited and a little nervous.

As the Kuroda army slowly moved forward and entered a place sixty paces from the castle, Takenori Ogami shouted "shoot", and at the sound of an order, more than thirty samurai in the castle shot out their bows and arrows.

The soldiers of the Kuroda family were still advancing, and even when they saw the movement in the city, no one retreated. When a wave of arrows was fired, three members of the Kuroda family fell to the ground, and only one of them was unlucky, being shot in the eye and dying on the spot.

When they reached about fifty paces, the Kuroda army in front of them continued to advance with ladders and woods, and a hundred Kuroda troops suddenly stopped, held crossbows in their hands, and began to aim at the defenders at the head of the city.

"Free fire" was the loud order of the small temple in the rear of the entire army formation.

As soon as the order of Kotera Vocational High School came out, the hundred crossbowmen of the Kuroda family decisively shot the crossbows in their hands, and when the samurai and archers on Sakamoto Castle were still preparing for the second shot, the long-range attack of the Kuroda army came first.

The Kuroda family's hand crossbows are still a secret, and apart from the twenty hand crossbows that were given to the Kushibashi family as a dowry, no one knows that the Kuroda family has hand crossbows, and no one has ever leaked out of the market. This was the first time that the Kuroda family had used a crossbow, a weapon of mass destruction.

The two hundred crossbowmen of the Kuroda family are all skilled archers who have undergone rigorous training and long-term training, and one hundred of them were brought to attack the Takino Akamatsu family this time, fifty were sent to Himeji Castle, ten of each of the two were sent to Kuroda Castle, and the rest were on standby in Kuroda Castle.

At this time, within the effective firing range of fifty steps, for these strictly trained Kuroda family crossbowmen, the position is very comfortable, and the enemy in the city has no defense, it is simply a live target. One hundred crossbowmen are divided into two rows, and the first shot shoots crossbow arrows together, and from the second season, one row shoots, and the other row loads the crossbow and aims, which is simply a second shot. With such a few people, the three-stage strike is not realistic.

Relatively speaking, the loading speed of the crossbow is faster than that of the iron cannon, but it still takes a certain amount of time to reload, so the second stage of the Kuroda family's shooting is the first blow to everyone to shoot freely, and the crossbow is prioritized to shoot in front of the front to reload and shoot, until everyone is roughly divided into two rows, front and back, and is shooting relatively neatly, until the purpose of non-stop shooting. In fact, it is not easy to do this, and the crossbowmen of the Kuroda family have all undergone rigorous training, so as to ensure that no matter how many people there are, they will line up and start attacking continuously within half a minute after the end of the first wave of shooting.

The first blow of a hundred crossbow arrows flew towards the head of the city, both power and speed, when Takeshi Ogami heard the crossbow arrows bring out the sound of "whoosh" breaking the sky, he knew that the situation was not good, this is the powerful military general with a strong bow to shoot arrows, the effect can be achieved. The sound of breaking through the sky can only show one thing, that is, the Kuroda family's long-range weapons are extremely powerful.

By the time Takenori Ogami wanted to remind the soldiers defending the city to protect themselves, it was already too late. One hundred crossbow arrows, more than 20 were nailed to the city wall, more than 20 flew into the sky from the cracks in the city wall, flew to the Milky Way, did not hit the target, more than 30 samurai defending the city or ashigaru, peasant soldiers were shot, and some had more than one crossbow arrow on their bodies. The crossbow bolts are powerful, and those who are basically shot will be carried backwards by the crossbow arrows, and the first wave of crossbow arrows will make the city wall a lot cleaner.

"Damn" With the arrival of the second wave of crossbow arrows, including Ogami Takenori, they didn't dare to raise their heads from behind the city wall, no one wanted to die like this, Ogami Takeshi had a total of two hundred people, and a round of crossbow arrows took away nearly twenty percent of the defenders, and now they were still remotely suppressed and couldn't raise their heads, Ogami Takeshi clenched his fists, not knowing what to do.

Why does the Kuroda family have such a powerful long-range weapon, can Sakamoto Castle still hold it, what should I do now, why I am already working hard, but I may still lose to the Kuroda family, whether I should commit suicide with the honor of the lord, or set the castle on fire, and now countless questions and thoughts are haunting Takenori Ogami's head. If he knew that this was just the simplest crossbow in the Ming Kingdom, he would probably commit suicide immediately.

Just as the soldiers of the Kuroda family set up the ladder on the city wall and began to attack the castle, the crossbow bolts finally stopped in order to avoid accidentally injuring their own soldiers. Takenori Ogami was the first to react, and when he raised his head and found that the enemy was about to attack, he was anxious.

"Bastard, hurry up for me, the enemy is about to attack the city, there are no more arrows, hurry up." The enemy was about to enter the city, and the city was about to be destroyed, and Takenori Ogami could no longer remain calm, and shouted hysterically in the city.

The Kuroda family was the first to enter the city by the ronin reserve led by Otani Moriji, these ronins for reward, not afraid of death, soon a few ronins climbed to the top of the city, these ronin's martial arts are significantly higher than the peasants and soldiers in the city, just a few rounds, in the west of the city wall to tear a gap.

"Not good", Takenori Ogami saw the gap in the west, and immediately rushed over with people, those few ronins had firmly occupied a small place, and when Takeshi Ouemi rushed over, a few more ronins climbed the city wall.
