Chapter Seventy-One: The Arrow of Oil and Fire

Soon the Kuroda family soldiers told him with their actions why they didn't move. www.biquge.info A bright and sharp crossbow arrow, with a sound of breaking through the air, quickly came towards the ashigaru who had just spoken.

With a "poof", impartially, the crossbow bolt just pierced through his front door, knocking him to the ground, and even the tip of the crossbow brought out some brains.

The other soldiers saw this tragic situation and couldn't react for a while, what is the situation? Eighty paces away can shoot people to death, and it seems to be so powerful, this is not scientific!

But after seven or eight more people died in the Takata family, they finally knew what it meant to be reasonable. Immediately, there were smart miscellaneous soldiers, and for the sake of their fragile little lives, they all immediately squatted down, and their own lives were more important than bravery.

At this time, the Kuroda family's crossbows and ashigaru, who were assigned to shoot oil fire arrows, also began to act. Together, they lit the fuse at the tip of the crossbow, and after the fire was lit, they quickly aimed at the city wall, pulled the trigger, and the oil fire bolt roared out towards the wall.

At this time, all the people of the Takata family on the city wall were bent and did not dare to get up, and no one noticed what the situation they were about to face was. In an instant, more than 20 specially made oil fire arrows, all of which were nailed to the wooden city wall without exception.

Except for two or three of the oil fire arrows, because of poor workmanship, the oil leaked halfway. The other oil fire bolts all hit their targets accurately, and the oil in the oil ladle shook out as they trembled as they nailed the wall. "Whew" after the fire saw the oil. It was irrepressible and began to burn wildly, and it was the beginning of summer, and the wood was relatively dry, so the fire burned very quickly.

After a few breaths of time, and still not seeing the crossbow that the Kuroda family had killed before, a bold samurai of the Takada family raised his head and glanced outside.

It didn't matter if he looked at it, he was so frightened that he shouted directly, "Oh no, Kuroda's family rockets are attacking the city, and the city wall has been burned." ”

The Takada family was already underprepared for this battle, and they didn't expect that the Kuroda family would be so mad that they would burn the city directly. After all, they are members of the wealthy clan of Misaku Country, and they don't know that during the rise of the Kuroda family, starting from Harima Country, they will destroy the surplus small castles in the territory to increase the area of cultivated land, otherwise they will definitely take precautions against the Kuroda family's burning of the castle.

At this moment, knowing that the Kuroda family was going to burn the city, the people of the Takada family were immediately in chaos.

Some people want to go down to the city to find water to put out the fire, some people want to run to a safe place in the city to hide, and some people throw away their weapons and squat on the ground, anyway, the scene is very chaotic.

Someone started to run, and the Kuroda family's crossbows, who had just rested for a long time, smiled, set up their crossbows again and again, and shot at the Takada family soldiers running in the city.

Now the soldiers of the Takada family are even more chaotic, getting up to fight the fire or running away may become the target of the Kuroda family, but if they keep squatting there, when the city wall burns down, they will probably still die, just live for a while.

Shimomi City is really in chaos now, and they all want to run for their lives, but no one dares to put out the fire.

Kuroda Vocational High School found that it seemed that the idea of setting fire was really a bit redundant when the other party was not prepared! As long as it burns up, it would be nice to be able to block the enemy's rescue, at least Shimomi Castle.

After more than half an hour of burning, the front of the city wall finally collapsed with a "boom", revealing a large hole that could accommodate three people to pass through. Seeing this, everyone in the Kuroda family shouted excitedly. Takada Sadachi also knew at this time that the end of the Takada family had come.

After the fire was a little smaller, the Kuroda family's army attacked Shimomi Castle along the big hole in the city wall, and Shimomi Castle, most of the desperate ordinary soldiers of the Takada family in the castle chose to surrender to the Kuroda family. And Takada Sadachi led his relatives to resist in the imperial hall, and in the end all the resisters were killed on the spot, and the Takada family, an important minister of the Miura family, was wiped out.

"My lord, I heard that the Kuroda family has captured Shimomi Castle, and at this time they are ready to continue their march." Yoshisuke Yoshisuke Yokoyama in Katsuyama Castle came to pay his respects.

"Did you just hear about it?" Sadakatsu Miura asked.

"Hey! It was the news from a few villagers that the family's fine work could not be too close to the Kuroda family now, and as long as it was close, it would basically be discovered and killed by the Kuroda family. Yoshisuke Yokoyama said with some embarrassment.

"The Kuroda family is really strong! In the territory of this family, the details of this family need to get news through the untouchables, which is really good, very good! Miura Sadakatsu gritted his teeth and said, smashing the fan in his hand directly against the wall.

"Lord, the Kuroda family's army is about to come, what should we do now?" Yokoyama Yoshisuke saw that Miura Sadakatsu was losing his temper, so he could only ask cautiously on the side.

"How? Ay...... Now my Miura family is weak, but after all, there are still nearly a thousand people, and the Kuroda family is currently only more than 2,000 people, and the family may not have a chance, otherwise it will be ambushed in Ogawara! Sadakatsu Miura said.

"Ogawara place? There are mountains on both sides, and the road in the middle is narrow enough for only one person to pass, so it is indeed a good place to ambush. Yokoyama said.

"If we can defeat Kuroda Vocational High School just like that, then the Kuroda family will not have anything to fear. At that time, for my Miura family, there will be a chance to be the country of Misaku, "Miura Sadakatsu said to himself.

"Hey! The lord is wise. Yokoyama Yoshisuke immediately patted himself on the back.

When the Kuroda Vocational High Army came to the Ogawara area, Kuroda Vocational High School smiled after taking a look. He immediately ordered to stop advancing. Because there is obviously an ambush of the Miura family in front, the Kuroda family started by playing conspiracy and trickery, how could it be planted in the ambush hands of the Miura family.

Kuroda immediately summoned the crowd and ordered the crossbow ashigaru to be at the forefront, accompanied by other foot soldiers, and at a distance of eighty paces, to shoot oil and fire arrows into the mountains on both sides, and after the enemy was startled, the foot soldiers were killed from behind. According to Kuroda's arrangement, soon the Kuroda family filmed the team and began to move on.

When the Kuroda family stopped just now, everyone in the Miura family was still a little nervous, the Kuroda family wouldn't have discovered the ambush! But soon the Kuroda family moved on, no matter why, they felt that at least the Kuroda family should not have seen through the ambush, so they were all excitedly waiting for the slaughter of Kuroda's soldiers.

Two hundred steps, one hundred steps, the Kuroda family is rapidly approaching, and the soldiers of the Miura family are also beginning to be more excited. (To be continued.) )
