Seeing that several teams in the middle lane were all defeated, and the Uno army on both wings also retreated together in tacit understanding, Akamatsu and Uno coalition forces rushed to run backwards, and in fact, they had been routed on all fronts. Seeing the rout www.biquge.info of the whole army, Masahide Akamatsu suffered a huge blow at once, and the moment his spirit was broken, a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell backwards.

Akamatsu Hirosada helped Akamatsu Masahide up, "Father, father, wake up, what's wrong with you, father." But no matter how Akamatsu shouted, Akamatsu Masahide didn't wake up.

The flag-bound warriors on both sides also immediately ran over, "Young master, now that the whole army has retreated, let's quickly retreat with the lord!" Otherwise, we won't be able to leave if the Kuroda army comes up."

Akamatsu Hirozhen had no choice, "Retreat, retreat!" ”

The Takino Akamatsu Army, which had already been routed and scattered, saw that the horse seal of the main formation was moving backwards, and the whole army ran more energetically, of course, in order to save their lives, everyone wanted to have two more legs to come out. Except for the Kuroda Army, which protected Kuroda and Kotera Vocational High to protect the Samurai of the main camp, the rest of the teams attacked on all fronts, and even the crossbow Ashigaru chased after him with a rib, and chased out the Kuroda Army for three miles before the whole army retreated.

In this battle, 23 samurai of the Takino Akamatsu family were killed, more than 200 samurai, ashigaru and miscellaneous soldiers were beheaded, five samurai of the Uno family were killed, and more than 70 samurai, ashigaru and miscellaneous soldiers were beheaded. The Kuroda family suffered 100 casualties, and none of the samurai were killed or injured, which can be described as a great victory.

In this battle, Akamatsu Masahide's Kuwabara Saemon was captured by the Kuroda family, because he promised that Ogami Takenori would not kill Kuwabara Saemon, so he was just imprisoned, and finally under the persuasion of Ogami Takenori many times, this wise general of the Takino Akamatsu family still surrendered.

The news of the Kuroda family's defeat of Akamatsu Masahide spread throughout Harima Province within three days, and even Bizen Province, Misaku Province, and Tajima Province received the news. Within three days, the Kuroda clan occupied the entire Iho-gun except for the Eiga Miki clan, and the Imate Tomo's own domain reserve occupied Higashi-Ako Prefecture, with Hara-Murozu Castle as his residence. As a result, the scope of the Kuroda family's territory was temporarily determined, and Konishi Ryoza presided over the work of land inspection, spring ploughing preparations, internal affairs, and pacification in the territory.

The Uno army retreated to Changshui Mountain Castle after losing dozens of people, as for the 10,000 stone north of Shiroyama Castle promised by Akamatsu Masahide before the war, they didn't dare to think at all, after losing dozens of people, they had seen the powerful combat power of the Kuroda family, and now they didn't dare to offend the Kuroda family, so they could only go back to Changshui Mountain Castle to lick their wounds secretly.

As for Akamatsu Masahide's family, including Akamatsu Masahide, who did not wake up, followed the Uno family to Changshui Mountain Castle, and most of the remaining 500 people in the Akamatsu family were reluctant to leave Iho County, and in the end, when Akamatsu left Iho County, only 30 people followed, including relatives, and as for Joyama Castle, he had to give up.

There is no need to ask these wealthy clans and countrymen who fled and left, they went to the Kuroda family to ask the Kuroda family to take them in, and the Kuroda family made a decision in the consideration of territorial stability, and informed these wealthy families and countrymen, because they had followed Akamatsu Masahide to fight against their own family, so the original territory was reduced by 30%; Second, it is required that the people and wealthy families shall not own their own cities, and the land can only be used for cultivation; Third, the relatives must be sent hostage, and all these three conditions must be agreed to be given to the territory for security. Those who do not agree are allowed to leave the Black Sky Territory within three days.

Some of the small wealthy clans did not agree to the reduction of their territories, the demolition of castles, or the departure of their ancestral lands, so they rebelled against Kuroda's rule, and as a result, the Kuroda family's army scattered in all directions, and nearly 1,000 people were divided into several teams. Don't look at the Kuroda family's army scattered and attacked, each team only has more than a hundred to two hundred people, but each team is equipped with crossbows and a concentric group. In addition, the leading Ashigaru generals, under the influence of the various tactics of the Kuroda family, began to flexibly use various arms, suppressing the siege with crossbows, enduring the opening of the city in the middle of the night, and attacking the city after assassinating the leader of the Hao clan to cause chaos, and the people of the Hao clan were panicked all day long. In just seven days, the Kuroda family completely extinguished the resistance to the wealthy people in the territory, eliminated more than ten wealthy families and Chinese people in the territory, and even the wealthy people who wanted to come to get a piece of the pie outside the territory were honest.

Other relatively shrewd, or didn't have time to rebel, the little wealthy families were immediately stupid, it turns out that the Kuroda family is not easy to bully! Anyway, the Kuroda family still left seventy percent of the land for themselves, so most of the wealthy people honestly accepted the Kuroda family's conditions, sent their relatives as hostages to the Kuroda family, and cooperated with the land inspection and demolition of the castle. A small number of people still can't accept the referee of the Kuroda family, and they drag the family to leave the Kuroda collar, maybe they will have a better life, maybe most of them will regret this decision.

Just when the Kuroda family was reorganizing the collar, a major event occurred in the Kodera family that affected the Kuroda family.

Just after Koji returned to the castle, he disbanded the army on the spot, and for a few days, Koji sat in the corridor in the backyard, looking at his favorite bonsai in a daze, no one knew what he was thinking, except for Mrs. Iwa, who talked to him and he didn't listen.

In the middle of the night of the second day after the turn, Noriharu Kotera came to Fujioka Kuro's house, and the two of them came to a secret room in the backyard to discuss, and they didn't even light the lamp, so they could see each other by a little moonlight thrown into the house.

"My brother hasn't been out of the palace for the past few days, this is a good opportunity!"

"Noriharu Kodera is sure that today is a good opportunity?"

"Today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, I have already bought off two small surnames, as well as a few Honmaru guards, and one of the two flag books on duty at night is also my person, we can smoothly bring people into the city."

"Noriji Koji-sama is really powerful! I also contacted a few retainers in the city who could not be reused, and counting my people, there were almost more than a hundred people, and fifty people were under a surprise attack, which was enough to control Honmaru, and it was necessary to quickly get rid of the Koji government and his family. As for the various families in the city, the other families are easy to say, only the younger brother Kodera Sadashi and the Kogawa family are absolutely loyal to the Koji political office, so we must send people to the house of the Sadashi and Kogawa family respectively to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. As long as we control the situation, the rest of the people in the city will definitely fall to me, and as for the elder brother Guangfeng who is outside, I can only try to persuade him to surrender, hoping that he can submit to me. ”

"It turns out that the small temple Noriji has a plan for a long time, and he is ...... to the adults No, the lord, I really admire the lord! With the master's plan, it will be possible tonight. ”

"Hahaha! Well said, rest assured, after the deed is completed, I will never treat you badly. ”

"Then thank you first."

"Let's go our separate ways, you take people to exterminate the Zhenzhi and Xiaohe families, how about I go to the palace?"

"Hey"

Recently, because the Kuroda family may have been self-reliant, the Ashigaru people on duty at night did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and even the flag warriors who were on duty in the Honmaru Palace did not dare to be lazy.

The night was not very good today, there were thick clouds in the sky, thick and continuous dark clouds passed through the moon from time to time, and the moonlight was also obscured intermittently. The so-called moon is dark and the wind is high, when people are killed and set on fire, it is exactly this kind of time depicted!

In front of the main gate of Honmaru, the two ashigaru guns looked around uneasily, their eyes almost never stopped, they held the guns tightly, even if their hands were sweating, they didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, even if it was the end of January, it was still winter, and there seemed to be cold sweat on their heads, not because they would blow through these sweats, causing their heads to be cold.

Just when they were panicking, a samurai dressed brightly dressed and wearing a standing pocket with the right Sanmaru family crest of the Koji family, and holding a katana, slowly walked out of the shadows.

"Noriharu Koderama" two ashigaru immediately saluted him, and immediately opened the door to Honmaru.

"Rush!" Noriharu Kotera shouted, and fifty samurai rushed into Honmaru and rushed straight to the palace.
