Chapter 4: Attack on the Inner City
Although Dongxin Zhicheng is a celebrity of the body, he knows that he has not yet reached the strength of a sword hero, and he is at most the strength of the peak of a quasi-sword hero. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAnd because I have to take on a lot of teaching tasks, plus I often have to go out for the Shimazu family, so the martial arts slowly stagnated after becoming famous.
He can't see the strength of the opponent clearly, which means that the opponent is stronger than him, and he doesn't know how much stronger, at least it must be the strength of the quasi-sword hero Da Perfection! Even if it's just a small step ahead of yourself, it's not an opponent you can match, if that's the case.
"I admit defeat, our gym retreat hall lost."
"Teacher" "What? "Lost" "No! "The teacher hasn't made a move yet!" How did you lose?"
Dongxin Zhicheng waved his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. He then turned his head to the young man opposite and bowed and said, "I don't have the strength to lose, I lost to the two adults, I don't know what you want, please just say it." ā
"The request is very simple, all of you must not leave this dojo today, and leave Kyushu together tomorrow." The young man said lightly.
"What" "It's just too much. "Yes!" "Why did you let us leave Kyushu?" "It's a big deal," shouted several young men from the Shimazu family's retainers.
The young man motioned to the two attendants behind him, and the two immediately walked out of the dojo, stood outside the door, and closed the door of the dojo.
At this time, the young man had a new move, he took a step forward, this step was not fast, on the contrary, it was very slow, it was a state of self-confidence, and it contained boundless momentum, not to mention the people of the Dongxin Martial Arts Hall, even the middle-aged man who came together was a little surprised, because his strength had obviously improved by another stage.
"Your Excellency is the strength of a sword hero?" Dong Xinzhicheng asked in surprise.
To be honest, he was a little afraid to be confident, because that young man looked like he was only about thirty years old, but he didn't expect such a young person to be able to reach such a height, it was really incredible, even the Kashima Sword Saint was a lot of people compared to him at this age!
What he didn't know was that the young man he was facing was the tall foot of the Sword Saint he thought of, and he had been exempted from the Sword Saint at the age of eighteen, and he was a kendo genius that the Sword Saint admired very much.
"The middle section of the sword hero." The young man said with a smile.
"I promised the adult's request, and I will take someone away tomorrow, but my lord, there is a reluctant request below, many of these children are the sons of the retainers of the Shimazu family, can you let them stay." Higashishin asked.
"Yes, but you can't leave until noon tomorrow."
"Okay."
This is the reason why Higashishin no Cheng left, but among his disciples, some of them left in advance, but those two were killed by the concentric people arranged by the Kuroda family in advance, and when the others left and were ready to report the matter, the Kuroda family had already surrounded the inner city.
As for the three people from the Kuroda family, I think your identities also know about the Kyojiro brothers and Hisamomori Takeuchi.
As long as such a lineup is not facing Tsukahara Buden, even if it is facing Hidetsuna Kamiizumi, who has not yet become a sword master, there is no need to be afraid at all, this is the crushing of strength!
Shimazu Yoshihiro nervously ordered everyone to prepare for the cage city, all the remaining Shimazu retainers are working hard, rolling wood, rocks are naturally not a problem, all kinds of iron cannons, projectiles, gunpowder, arrows have also been moved on the city wall of Honmaru, several small oars in the city, have been full of vigilant long-range soldiers, they will be responsible for the future sniper mission.
In the 19th year of Tenmon (1550 AD), Shimazu Takahisa decided to move the castle closer to the coast because the Shimizu Castle, which had been used as the base of the Shimazu family, was too narrow, and this was the inner castle that was later expanded. The inner castle is a simple flat castle, except that the location of the Honmaru is a very small hill consisting of Honmaru and Ninomaru.
The most lethal part of the inner castle for the besieging side is that after the breakthrough of Ninomaru, there is a 10-meter drop between the road leading to Honmaru and the wall of Honmaru, and this gap coupled with the protection of the city wall makes the attacking side almost unilaterally killed by the long-range soldiers of the Shimazu family, and it is very difficult to fight back unless the main gate of Honmaru is broken.
After the intense build-up, there are now nearly 800 defenders in the inner city, and although most of them are not in good combat, they should at least be able to hold out for a while. If you can survive until Shimazu Yoshihisa returns to the army, or if Shimazu comes to help, his situation will be much better.
Thinking of this, suddenly Shimazu Yoshihiro's heart tightened, he could think that when Shimazu Yoshihisa and Shimazu Sokusa came to support, wouldn't the Kuroda family think of it? This is a very simple matter, if this is the case, will the Kuroda family go straight into the inner city, it has been half a day now, but it has been surrounded without attacking, it is a big conspiracy, because the Kuroda family's actions so far are very suspicious.
Straight into the Shimazu family according to the inner city, it stands to reason that this is a surprise, it should be a strong attack, and strive for a quick capture, if it is a siege but not an attack, then it is likely that there is a conspiracy, encirclement point reinforcements, this is just Shimazu Yoshihiro thought, and very afraid of a point, but his first priority now is to be able to keep the inner city, and he can't do anything else.
At this time, Shimazu Yoshihiro was thinking, it would be good if the elder brother and the fourth child were here, they were both resourceful people, and they would definitely be able to find a way out for the Shimazu family, but this time it was himself who defended the city, a samurai who was a little wise, but preferred to go to the battlefield.
The Kuroda family carried out their first tentative attack, and a long-range team of 500 men under the Kuroda family's command stepped forward with the intention of suppressing the walls of the inner castle.
Long-range suppression followed by siege, this is the usual siege method of the Kuroda family. This time, the Kuroda family also made a lot of money to break through the inner city, and sent 500 people, of which 300 used hand crossbows and 200 used new firearms.
By the way, the Kuroda family's new Ming gunpowder has been improved to achieve single use, and the filling of gunpowder is relatively simple, easy to operate, which is what Kuroda Vocational High School values the most, as for the greater power, of course it is better.
At the end of the three-year period of Kuroda Vocational High School, with the efforts of the workshop area, the task of 3,000 guns was finally completed in accordance with the requirements of Kuroda Vocational High School, and the installation was successfully completed at Kuroda's house.
