Although the Xiangxi family is unwilling to submit, and Xiangxi Yuanzai still said such excessive words, just to motivate his own soldiers, it is indeed a bit hateful. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

But then again, the soldiers of the Xiangxi family in the city seem to be really good in terms of equipment, most of them are holding spears, so they don't go to the battlefield with rakes, and they also have simple protective gear, although they are not even, but they are much better than the miscellaneous soldiers of other families.

In particular, Shikoku is not a rich land in the first place, the land is barren, and the property is scarce, so the lords of the country have to implement some special policies, such as the first collar of the Changzong family. However, relatively speaking, to be able to give such equipment to the soldiers, the Xiangxi family does still have some background.

But compared with the ordinary peasant soldiers of the Kuroda family, who have a full set of bamboo armor, array hats, leggings, and bamboo cage hands, the Xiangxi family is still too bad. Moreover, this time out of Sanki Province, the Kuroda family deliberately brought 3,000 recruits, such an arrangement can not only ensure the combat effectiveness of the army, but also train the recruits. Anyway, the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family's soldiers can definitely be guaranteed.

At the forefront of the Kuroda family, the young Sanada Masayuki took over the responsibility of the military commission. Moreover, the soldiers of the Kuroda family had already stood in line at this time, ready for all preparations for battle.

"Iron Artillery advances." "Sortie"

Sanada Masayuki issued two instructions, one in the Wakoku dialect and the other in the Ming dialect. After all, there is also a Ming Kingdom Fire Gun Team that is the elite of the Kuroda family at the forefront, so Sanada Masayuki was still forced by Kuroda Vocational High School to learn simple attack commands, and the subsequent orders are all the tasks of the military drum and the conch.

This time, the Kuroda family's capture of Sanki Province was the most important thing, so in addition to the two hundred crossbow ashikaga sent to Tanba Province, the other two hundred firecracker teams, the newly formed 100-man iron artillery team (formed on the basis of the previous Suzuki Shigenari iron artillery team), and one hundred crossbow ashika were brought to Sanki country by Kuroda Jitaka.

Among the Kuroda family's eight hundred crossbows, the remaining five hundred are ashigaru, and there are two hundred crossbows in Kuroda Castle. One hundred crossbows were stationed in the country of Bigo, and two hundred were stationed in the city of Heshou in China.

The cost of using a firearm and an iron cannon is definitely much greater than that of a crossbow. But comparatively speaking, the fire guns and iron cannons are definitely much more powerful. Therefore, the suppression effect of using firearms and iron cannons will definitely be much better than that of crossbows. The most important thing is that the Kuroda family's finances are much better now, and they don't care very much about the consumption of gunpowder and projectiles.

Three hundred firebolts and iron cannon Ashigaru had slowly come to a hundred paces in front of Katsuga Castle.

"You're all ready, the Kuroda family's soldiers will be ready to shoot when they reach the position of sixty paces." A samurai of the Xiangxi family shouted loudly.

"Hey!"

Just when the soldiers of the Kuroda family entered the eighty paces distance, they suddenly stopped, and the bows and feet that the Kosai family had prepared were very surprised, and they didn't know what the Kuroda family was going to do.

"After free fire, it becomes a two-stage shot"

Just when the bows and abutugies of the Xiangxi family were still talking to each other and were very confused, the Kuroda family's Wang Erzhu and Suzuki Shigenari gave the order to attack at the same time.

"Bang Bang Bang" two hundred firecrackers (the Ming Kingdom firecracker needs two people to operate together, and two hundred people use a hundred firecrackers) and the iron cannon sounded at the same time, whether it was a huge sound, or the white fog that shrouded everything in front of Katsuga Castle, as well as dozens of people who fell inexplicably, all of which made the soldiers of the Xiangxi family at a loss.

Just when the people of the Xiangxi family did not come back to their senses, the soldiers of the Kuroda family had been divided into two rows, but it was obvious that the Ming Kingdom Fire Gun Team was more skilled. Half a minute later, before the people of the Kosai family could react from the shock, the remote soldiers of the Kuroda family opened fire again, and a hundred loud bangs rang out again.

It wasn't until the third salvo of the Kuroda family that everyone in the Xiangxi family finally reacted, but at the cost of falling more than 20 people, the Xiangxi family mobilized a maximum of 700 people, and suddenly there were dozens of fewer people. This kind of thing that will disappear in an instant, the Xiangxi family is also a war-torn family, but it has never been encountered.

"Don't mess up, don't mess up, it'll be fine soon, as long as the Kuroda family attacks, they will definitely not dare to continue to use this weapon." Kasai Motozai shouted loudly. But no one listened to Kasai Motozai's words, and everyone was either running around, crying, and shouting.

The foot guards of the Kuroda family moved, and when Katsuga Castle was in chaos, they quickly came to the bottom of the castle and put a series of ladders on the top of the castle.

Most of the soldiers of the Xiangxi family did not react to this at all, and it should be chaos or chaos. But there are also some experienced veterans of the Xiangxi family, who know that it is not a good thing for the cloud ladder to build the city wall. But when they tried to use their spears to open the ladder according to experience, they found that they couldn't push it at all, and by the time they noticed the hook in front of the ladder, it was too late.

Especially after several Kuroda samurai such as Miyata Mitsuji, Sakabuchi Nagadori, Funatsui Tsuji, and Harada Yoshitane took the lead in ascending to the castle, it seems that the balance of victory has completely tilted in favor of the Kuroda family.

But at this moment, an army of nearly 500 people entered Katsuga Castle through the secret gate behind Katsuga Castle, and because the situation was extremely dangerous, they immediately joined the defense of the Kuroda family. In the end, he stubbornly repelled the soldiers of the Kuroda family.

"What's going on? Isn't it very good to attack? Why was he suddenly repulsed? "In the Kuroda family's main camp shogunate, Kuroda Itaka is questioning the samurai under his command.

"My lord, at the beginning our attack was indeed very smooth, but when we were about to break into the city, we suddenly felt that the number of enemy soldiers had increased sharply, and it was at this time that we were repulsed." Miyata Mitsuji said.

"My lord, this is definitely not an excuse, because there is also this feeling in Xia, as if there are suddenly hundreds more people in the city." Yoshitane Harada also said.

"This ...... It's weird. Kuroda said.

"My lord, I just got the news that the Xinju clan and the Zhisong clan, the branches of the Xiangxi family, brought people into the city from the rear of the city when we were fighting. At this time, Hattori came out of the darkness and said to Kuroda.

"What, there's such a thing? There is a secret door behind Katsuga Castle, which is incredible. And the hateful Niju clan and the Uematsu clan, if it weren't for them, we would have entered Katsuga Castle by now. Kuroda said. (To be continued.) )
