Chapter 70: Escape

But before the Kuroda family defenders of Wild Castle could breathe, Kobayakawa Takakei gave the order to attack for the third time, this time until the moonrise, Kobayakawa Takakei ordered the troops to be collected, and the Kuroda family lost more than 60 people, and the remaining 180 people were either wounded or had been physically exhausted, so as soon as the battle ended, Yoshida Nagashi immediately ordered everyone to rest on the spot, bandage each other's wounds, and quickly bury the pot to make food.

Unexpectedly, Kobayakawa Takakei ordered the siege again a quarter of an hour later, and Yoshida Nagashi ordered crossbow Ashigaru to go directly to the castle with rice balls to extinguish all the torches in the city, hindering the advance of the Maori side to the greatest extent and giving the other soldiers time for food and simple treatment.

Kobayakawa Takakei shook his head when he saw that all the torches had been extinguished on the walls of Nogami Castle: "The people of the Kuroda family are really cunning!" You will increase the intensity of the siege of the city, and you must let the will of the Kuroda family collapse, and the destruction of the city is today. ”

"Hey!"

After that, Kobayakawa Takakei also arranged a team of 1,000 people outside Nogami Castle, and he was confident that he would break through Nogami Castle tonight, and he would finally win the Kuroda family once, Kobayakawa Takakei thought.

"Yoshida-sama, the people of the Maori family are like crazy, and they keep attacking all the time, and we can't resist it anymore!" Two hours later, a wounded soldier came and said to Yoshida Nagatoshi, who was sitting under the castle to rest.

Yoshida Nagatoshi wasn't lazy, but he had already set himself on the front line for two hours, so he went down to the city to rest for a while.

"How much backup do we have?" Yoshida asked with a gasp.

"No, all those who are standing have gone up to town." Ashigaru said.

"Damn, are you really going to die here?" Yoshida Nagatoshi said.

At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly appeared beside the two.

"Who?" Ashigaru nervously held his gun at the shadow.

"There's no need to be nervous, it's a brother in the same family." Yoshida Nagatoshi still sat there and said.

"In Shimokama Saburo, I've seen Yoshida-sama, I've already arranged the route for the defenders to retreat, please Yoshida-sama quickly organize the evacuation of the people and horses." Tongxin said, half-kneeling.

"Oh! How to escape? Yoshida asked.

"A big hole has been smashed open in the back of this city, and a team of 1,000 people arranged by Kobayakawa behind the city will also be led away immediately, please leave quickly!" Kamasaburo said respectfully.

"yes, I see." Yoshida Nagatoshi immediately stood up. "I'm going to try to take my brothers from the city as much as possible, please wait a moment."

"Please come here as soon as possible, and wait here for your lord and the soldiers." Itachi Saburo said.

Yoshida Nagatoshi immediately climbed to the top of the city and ordered all the Kuroda soldiers to move closer to him, and more than 30 seriously injured soldiers volunteered to stay, plus the seriously wounded who were already inconvenient to move in the city, dozens of Kuroda soldiers were willing to delay time for others, and they knew that they would not survive this time, so they all smashed or burned their armor in advance, and prepared to fight Maori naked.

In the end, Yoshida Nagatoshi managed to take more than 70 people from the city, and the most complete thing was the crossbow ashigaru, and all escaped except for a few wounded who were left behind voluntarily.

After a bitter battle with dozens of wounded soldiers at Yoshida Nagatoshi, when all of them were killed, Yoshida Nagatoshi finally returned to Fukuyama Castle with his people. Hanabo Masayuki left behind ten crossbows and thirty foot soldiers, and the other twenty crossbow shots and ten foot soldiers were all taken to Ichimura Castle by Yoshida Nagatoshi to guard Ichimura Castle together with Miyake Ieyoshi.

At the same time, on the border between Bichuku and Bigo, seven thousand Kuroda soldiers had been assembled. Be ready to enter Bigo Koku'an County at any time.

In fact, after the Kuroda family received the news that the Mori family was going to attack the territory of Bigo Province, the Imate Tomoji immediately gathered most of the strength of the Bigoku family, and at the same time, the standing ashigaru of the Kuroda family, led by Shigeharu Takenaka, also arrived in time, and the Kuroda family gathered a total of 7,000 at Tsurushou Castle, ready to enter Bigo Province at any time according to the instructions of Kuroda Vocational High School

Because the Kuroda family evacuated all the people and people, they came to the edge of Anna County without even encountering a ghost along the way, and smoothly went around to the rear of Kobayakawa Takakei's army.

At the same time, in Kumekita County, Mimasaka Province, Kuroda Vocational High School has basically completed the suppression of the county, and an army of about 2,500 people is ready to enter the Miura family's capital Oniwa County.

Shimomi Castle in Oniwa County is the gateway to the west of the county, and it was originally the domain of the Shimomi family of the wealthy family, but because of its important location, the Miura family directly exterminated the Shimomi family, who was unwilling to change the title, and was garrisoned and managed by the family's important minister, Takada Sadachi.

At this moment, when the Kuroda family's army arrived, the Takada family got the news, and although the city gate was closed in time, it was too late to gather people. The Takada family itself had nearly 100 relatives and standing forces, and at the same time organized the people in the city to be young and strong, and won more than 40 people, which was all their strength to resist the Kuroda family.

"This city, the city wall has not been treated with fire prevention, young master, are we ......" Musato Takayu looked at the city for a while, and said to Kuroda Vocational High School.

"Well, that's right, that's it, order the crossbow to shoot the fire bolt from the city." Kuroda nodded and said.

While the front end burns, as long as the bolt comes into contact with other hard objects, such as a wooden city wall, the oil in the oil ladle will be poured out with the impact, and then it will burn as long as it is touched by the oil, and it is not afraid of water. This is a new weapon developed by Kuroda Vocational High School and dozens of craftsmen, which has not been used before, but now because Shimomi Castle has not been fireproofed, it can finally come in handy.

After being persuaded to surrender, the Takada family was unwilling to surrender, so Kuroda Vocational High School ordered the siege of the castle. Dozens of crossbowmen began to move towards Shimomi Castle, and when they came to a distance of eighty paces from the castle, they stopped. Half of the crossbows need to shoot oil and fire arrows, and their task is very simple, shooting at a large target such as a city wall at this distance, and basically not missing. There are also crossbows with better crossbows, and they need to wait for an opportunity to attack the archers of the Takada family on the city wall.

"What are these people from the Kuroda family going to do? Not moving at this distance, are they stupid? One of the Takada family's ashigaru said, and the other ashigaru laughed. (To be continued.) )
