"Brother, our own team is a little tired now, why don't we go straight to Harima Country? It's better to go to Kugiya Castle to rest for a while, and it's not too late to march again. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info "Akashi said to Akashi Keijin after seeing that some of the soldiers of Hogi Castle were also tired.

Akashi Jingqin originally hoped to be able to rush to the territory of the Shangyue family to rest again, but after encountering the trap, the people of Hoki Castle also suffered huge psychological pressure, after all, the trap is not visible, every step must be taken carefully, who is not afraid of death? Seeing that his soldiers were indeed gasping for breath, Akashi Jingqin frowned, after all, it was his own subordinates, in line with the mentality of whose things were distressed, not my casual tidying, he finally relented.

"It's only a few hundred meters away from the Kugi Valley, so let's go into the city and rest for half a day, and then march forward." Akashi Keijin pointed to Kugi Valley Castle not far away.

Kugiya Castle is a small town on the border of Bizen Province and Harima Province, and it is better to say that it is a small town, and it is the residence of the Kugiya family, a small wealthy family here. There were the Kugiya family and several families living in it, and there were less than a hundred people in total.

Akashi Keijin first sent a banner to Kugiya Castle and ordered the governor of the Kugiya family, Kugi Tani Rokuro, to prepare for the arrival of the army. When Kugi Tani Rokuro heard Qimoto's order, his heart tightened, you must know that Kugi Valley Castle is too small, except for the population of the Kugi Valley family, it can only accommodate about two hundred people at most, and the Akashi family brought a thousand people this time. It simply could not accommodate such a large number of troops, which is why Urakami Munekei never considered settling here when he sent his troops.

Moreover, the Kugi Gu family is just a small wealthy family, and they only have a hundred stone of land in the valley here, so it would be good if Akashi Jing had military rations with the army. If not, there would only be thirty koku of grain stored in the Kugi Valley to feed an army of 1,000 people, and the Kugi Valley family would have a hard time until the autumn harvest.

It didn't take long for Akashi Keijin to arrive, and the three brothers walked at the front of the line, and Kugi Tani Rokuro led his own family samurai to greet him a hundred meters outside the city. Akashi Jing didn't even look at these countrymen dressed like peasant soldiers, and rode directly into the city, which made the Kugiya family very embarrassed. After all, Akashi Keiqin is an important minister of the Urakami family, and it is normal not to give face to Rokuro Kugiya.

Seeing Kugi Tani Rokuro's embarrassment, Akashi Jingyuki comforted him twice, as the second-in-command of the Akashi family, he could comfort him with good words, which was already enough to give him face. Because the castle was small, Akashi Keiyuki ordered the people of Hoki Castle to enter the castle to rest, and all the peasants and soldiers spent the night outside the castle.

The palace in the castle is low and dilapidated, and it can be seen that it is old, and the Kugiya family gave up the palace to Akashi Keito to live in. And prepared some game, fruits to contribute to Akashi Jingqin. Fortunately, Akashi Jingqin's reserve brought food, and he didn't expect this small wealthy family in the countryside to supply the army.

Several relatives and daughters of the Kugiya family offered food, and Akashi Keijin felt that it was light and tasteless after eating a few bites, and after eating a few bites, he didn't eat it anymore, but looked at the women with a pair of eyes. Country girl, this is his first reaction, one by one may be tanned because of work, rough skin, but two of them look relatively young, drink two bowls of water and wine, Akashi Jingqin looked at the young girl more and more pleasing to the eye, he stood up from the main seat, walked over, hugged one, and walked to the backyard. This time, the startled girl kept screaming and struggling hard, but Akashi Jingqin had a lot of strength, and it was not something she could compete with at all. It didn't take long for a heart-rending shout to be heard from the backyard.

"This, my lord can't help it!" Rokuro Kugiya had just stood up. Several banners had already drawn their sabers and pointed at him vigilantly.

Kugi Tani Rokuro could only sit down, bow his head and say nothing, the girl was his daughter, only twelve years old. Unexpectedly, he didn't react, and was taken as a kind of acquiescence, Akashi Jingyuki also picked up the other girl and walked to another room in the backyard.

All the young women in the city were not spared this night, and many were tossed all night by a dozen ashigaru, and two died in this kind of devastation. And the men in the city can only gather in one place, listening to their familiar cries sounding under others, one by one holding their hands tightly, but there is no way.

A boy in his teens, who slapped himself, was the son of Rokuro Kugi Tani, and he stood up.

"Father, let's go, they're all killed." As soon as several people heard him, they were ready to stand up as well, apparently agreeing with his plan.

"Absolutely not, there are a thousand of them, for the sake of the continuation of the family, please be patient." Rokuro Kugi said crying. Seeing this, several young people stopped talking, and spent what was probably the most memorable night of their lives.

Early the next morning, Akashi Kei's personal reserve team left Kugi Valley Castle satisfied, leaving only the old and young in the city to lick their wounds.

Just after Akashi Keijin left Kugi Valley Castle, he sent someone to report to Urakami Sokei that he should pay attention to whether there are traps along the road, and his forward troops have already killed more than two dozen people because of the traps of the Kuroda family. He counted the peasant soldiers who died at the hands of the Overseer, after all, who would delve into the cause of death of several peasant soldiers? Originally, because there were many people and many peasants, the Urakami army, which was moving slowly, was even slower when it got the news that the Kuroda family might have set traps along the road.

When Akashi Keikin's forward reserve team had just entered Bizen Country, Kotera Vocational High School took his subordinates to ambush near Uetsuki Castle, and they chose a valley not far from Uetsuki Castle, because Urakami and Akatsuki's side now didn't dare to send any fine work, so even if they touched Uetsuki Castle now, they might not necessarily be discovered.

After waiting for two days, when the Kuroda family was a little tired of waiting, the enemy finally came, and it was composed of 1,000 Urakami family forwards and 600 Kamitsuki family troops of Akashi Jingqin's team. Akashi Kei and Kamitsuki Keiza walked side by side in the middle of the line.

Both of them were a little hesitant when they saw the valley, after all, the information is unknown now, and the Kuroda family is the best at sneak attacks, and this terrain is a good place for sneak attacks and ambushes, in case they really encounter the Kuroda family's ambush, even if the number of people is superior, it will not play any role.

"Lord Upper Moon, I feel that the terrain here is complicated, will there be an ambush by the Kuroda family?" Akashi Jingqin pointed to the valley with a horsewhip and said to Jingzhen of the last month,

"No, it won't! Akashi-sama, this place is less than 500 meters away from the main home city, so there shouldn't be any danger, right? Last month, Jingzhen said in a respectful tone, who let the family have a thousand troops! Who let himself snort at home!

"What Lord last month said is reasonable, when I didn't go out of the former country, I encountered the trap of the Kuroda family in Waqi County, so I'm a little suspicious now, please don't be surprised, let's march forward!"

"Lord Akashi is serious, Lord Akashi is strict in governing the army, and he has the style of a general, which makes me envious!" Last moon Jingzhen said with a smile on the horse, with an obvious flattering look on her face.

"Hahaha! Last month, the lord praised it falsely, "Akashi Jing said this on his lips, and his heart was still very useful."

The forward peasants had entered the valley, which was still quiet, and there was not a hint of an ambush. Seeing that the front was safe, Akashi Jing and Shangyue Jingzhen walked forward.
