"So what are we going to do?" Miyata Mitsuji asked. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"Let's fight with the Miyoshi family! The family's appearance in Sanki Country this time was originally to defeat the Miyoshi family. Only by defeating the Miyoshi family will we be able to rule Sanuki Province smoothly. This is a big war, a joint battle that will decide the state of Sanki and the country, and we have no way out but to win, so the rest of the matter can only be left to you. Kuroda said.

"Hey!"

On October 28, the 7th year of Eiroku, in Yamada County, Sanuki Province, a battle that will go down in history was about to begin, and the two sides of the battle were the Kuroda family and the Miyoshi family.

As mentioned earlier, the Kuroda family has already set up a position on the Ishijing Mountain Pass, as well as the mountains on both sides. Moreover, after the Kuroda family guarded Mt. Ishijing, the Miyoshi family was also contained in the area of the river beach of the Nagao River. When facing the Miyoshi family, which has the advantage of numbers, the Kuroda family only needs to guard the mountain pass.

Because the Miyoshi family had already sent someone to send a battle letter, agreeing to hold a decisive battle today, and the Kuroda family had agreed, both sides were already ready for this battle.

The Kuroda family's two pillars' Ming Kingdom Fire Gun Team and Suzuki Shigenari's Iron Cannon Team were at the forefront of all the teams in the Ishikini Mountain Pass, followed by Miyata Mitsuji, Harada Yoshitane, Date Masahiro, Aoki Kazuki, Sugiyama Weige, Sugiyama Naga, and other fierce generals.

On the south side of the Ishijing Mountain, there is a crossbowfoot light team, followed by a thousand foot soldiers led by Kosakata Katsuhisa, Nakamura clan, Nakamura Yorimune, Numamoto Fangie, Miyamoto Takeno and others, which are specially designed to prevent the Miyoshi family from climbing the mountain.

On the mountain on the north side, there is also a crossbow-foot light team, followed by a thousand foot soldiers led by Hiratsuka Yuhiro, Wakaya Xumitsu, Hongo Kamitoyo, Maki Shoharu, and Makishomasa.

Sakabuchi Nagadori, Funatsui Tsuji, Motoyama Shigechen, Sugihara Iesada, Mizuri Junsei, Makikuni Nobu, and others remained in the main camp as reserves.

The three brothers Yasuo Bone Kawa were in the Kuroda family's main camp at this time, also as a reserve, waiting for the battle to begin.

"Brother, do you think the Kuroda family can win this time?" Yoshio Bone Kawa asked.

"Whether you can win or not, you don't have to fight to know." Keno Bone Kawa said with a smile.

Yasuo Gukawa thought for a while before he said, "Although the Miyoshi family on the opposite side has 17,000 troops, I think it should be the Kuroda family that can win in the end!" ā€

"Why would my brother say that?"

"You have also seen that the Kuroda family can easily defeat the Xiangxi family, although the Miyoshi family has an amazing army of 17,000 people, but the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's soldiers is really very strong, no matter how you think the Miyoshi family has no chance! But it's true that as the second child said, the battle still depends on the final result, and it's really hard to say until the last moment! Yasuo Bone River said.

The Miyoshi family took the lead this time with a total of 400 people led by the lord of Guifeng Mountain Castle, Fujita Somanori, the lord of Honshinoshi Castle, Chokita Tsunehisa, and the lord of Fujime Castle, Saito Shigo.

"The Kuroda family seems to be ready!" Shinohara Nagabo said.

"Start attacking." As the nominal general of the Miyoshi family this time, Miyoshi Nagaji shouted loudly. "Hey!" The people of the three good families should be in harmony.

The three of Fujita Muneshi, Tsunehisa Masaki, and Saito Shigo took their own teams and began to quickly advance towards the Kuroda family's Ishikai Mountain Pass.

The two firearms teams of the Kuroda family have all been arranged at the location of the mountain pass, the Ming gunners are in a two-stage formation and the iron artillery team is standing in a three-stage formation because they only need one person to operate.

Fujita Muneshi, Masita Tsunehisa, and Saito Shigo didn't know at this time that the Kuroda family had already prepared long-range firearms in front of the battle. They slowly approached the front of the Kuroda family, a distance of a hundred paces.

As they entered the eighty-step distance, the first wave of firearms from the Kuroda family rang out.

"Boom, boom, boom" dozens of loud noises rose from the ground, a puff of white smoke rose in front of the Kuroda family's array, and the vanguard of the Miyoshi family on the opposite side immediately fell more than a dozen people, including the unfortunate one of the lord of Guifeng Mountain Castle, Fujita Soman, who also became the first samurai to die on both sides in this battle. It's not a glorious thing to die in a white-knuckle battle, but to die at the hands of an iron cannon.

When the Miyoshi family's vanguard team was stunned, the second wave of the Kuroda family's attack arrived, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground.

"Rush! As long as you rush to the front, the Kuroda family's iron cannon will be useless. Tsunehisa Caida shouted loudly, and he personally drew his sword and rushed forward.

His charge did boost the morale of the soldiers behind him, but in exchange for a third salvo from the Kuroda family. This time, because there was no Ming firearm, the number was indeed a lot less, but it still took away more than a dozen soldiers from the Sanhao side.

When this mixed team finally braved the rain of bullets and came to the twenty paces in front of Kuroda's formation, less than half of the 400 men were left, and the further they went, the greater the casualties, because the Kuroda family's hit rate began to skyrocket.

At this time, the two crossbowfoot light teams that the Kuroda family had arranged on the mountains on both sides of the pass also began to shoot. The sudden appearance of the crossbow foot light made all the previous efforts of the Miyoshi family, which was already about to succeed, all in vain.

Under the blow, the Miyoshi family's first team still retreated, and as a living target at the front, Chokita Tsunehisa did not escape the result of death, and died halfway through the charge, but it was a bit of a movie movie samurai who launched a charge, and as a result, the Takeda family samurai was shot.

In the end, only Saito Shigo retreated with dozens of people, and Shinohara Nagabo saw all this in the main battle, and just nodded, as if it was expected, and did not feel heartache for the sacrifice of more than three hundred people.

As soon as Shinohara Nagabo beckoned, a team of 4,000 people was immediately divided from the Awa people, with 2,000 people in the middle, led by Yoshimitsu Asue and Mitsuhisa Kamata.

Let's talk about these two people first, Mae Yoshimitsu, the official name Inabatamori, the lord of the mountain castle in Mima County, Awa Province. A tributary of the Awa Kibe clan, the Omiya Division of the Kibe Shrine, and the important minister of Hosokawa Mochitaka, the former lord of Katsuduan Castle. Kamata Mitsuhisa, the lord of the famous castle, is also an important minister of Hosokawa Chitaka.

Now you should know why these two people were sent to charge the Kuroda family's big array as a Chinese army! Because they are not die-hard loyalists of the Miyoshi family at all, but because the former lord died at the hands of the Miyoshi family, he was forced to take refuge in the Miyoshi family. That's why Shinohara's Nagafang chose the two of them as candidates for this attack, and they can be regarded as objects that are not distressed when they die! (To be continued.) )
