Chapter 69: A Bitter Battle
"The villain is a citizen of Himeji Castle, and when the villain's son was seriously ill, it was the master of the Kuroda family who came to treat it himself, and by the way, he also cured his mother's stubborn illness, and the villain couldn't repay him, so he gave up his life for the Kuroda family!" A veteran shouted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Yes! If it weren't for the kindness of the Kuroda family, I'm afraid the villain's family would have already become dry bones! For the sake of the Kuroda family, the villain is willing to die. The young ashigaru with the wounded leg also shouted.
All the people here have received the favor of the Kuroda family, and their emotions are also very simple, and they are willing to repay it with their lives after receiving the favor of the Kuroda family. Driven by Yoshida Nagatoshi's intention, he immediately shouted with the enemy.
"Kill, kill, kill" For a while, the shouting of killing in the city of Wild Upper City rushed to the sky, and the sound echoed in the sky for a long time.
Even Kobayakawa Takakei outside the city was alarmed, and immediately walked out of the big tent, he looked in the direction of Nogami Castle, and said to himself: "Why is the defenders of the Kuroda family so powerful, and the soldiers' fighting spirit is so high, it seems that this family is really difficult to handle this time." ”
But after taking a step back, Kobayakawa Takakei immediately stopped, and he immediately shouted, "Someone! Immediately gather men and prepare to attack the city again, since they want to fight so much, they must not give the Kuroda defenders any respite. ”
And everyone in the Kuroda family in Fukuyama Castle could clearly hear the angry shouts in the direction of Nogami Castle.
"Nojo doesn't know what to do now." Hanafang Masayuki said a little nervously.
"Don't be fine! Rokunosuke," said Kuno Shigekatsu, holding the hand of the city wall with a little trembling.
"It's going to be fine, Rokunosuke is definitely going to be fine." Masaaki Masuda said.
Soon, the 500 soldiers of the Kobayakawa family began to prepare for the siege, and the 300 men and horses of Fujii Haogen, a native of Bigo countrymen, were on standby as the second sequence.
The Kuroda family's crossbow arrows are constantly venting, but after all, the number is too small, and although the losses given to the enemy are not a lot, they still can't stop the Maori family's attack. After the Maori side lost more than 60 men, they still began to attack the city wall smoothly.
The leading samurai of the Kobayakawa family is a member of the Kobayakawa family, Kobayakawa Hirohei, and he is a figure of Kobayakawa Takakei's uncle's generation, and he is also considered to have some courage in the Kobayakawa family. So in this siege, Kobayakawa Hirohei was the first to rush to the head of the city.
The first time he landed in the city, he was noticed by Yoshida Nagatoshi, after all, his bright armor was so conspicuous, it was difficult not to pay attention, and he was the first person on the Maori side to enter the city, so he became the attention of the Kuroda family defenders for a while. However, after everyone saw Yoshida Nagatoshi leading people to rush up, they didn't pay attention to it anymore, but guarded their own defense line with peace of mind, as if Kobayakawa Hirohei was already a dead man.
"Kobayakawa familyKobayakawa Hirohei participated, who in the Kuroda family dared to fight with me?" After Kobayakawa Hirohei ascended the castle, he shouted arrogantly with a katana in his hand.
Although Yoshida Nagatoshi rushed over, he didn't report his name, after all, he didn't plan to have a fight with his opponent at all, but to use the strength of a few ashigaru forces behind him and the formation to kill the enemy in front of him. For him, who was born as a farmer, he really didn't care if he rode to him.
Yoshida Nagatoshi shouted and killed him, although he didn't sign up, but Kobayakawa Hirohei didn't care at all, in his eyes, Yoshida Nagatoshi was already a dead man, but in the end, who was the dead man might not be able to say!
Kobayakawa Hirohei raised his katana high and slashed at Yoshida Nagashi with all his strength without reservation, Yoshida Nagato had already noticed his movements, and also found that he came up with all his strength, so he didn't dare to keep it, and he also used his greatest strength to stab Kobayakawa Hirohei.
It seems to be the result of losing both, but neither of them is a fool, it is impossible to really make a move like this, and then fall to the ground together, this is really a fool's battle. The two of them didn't have a chance to see it, and the two weapons only clicked lightly in the end, and then they each stopped and prepared for the next attack.
But Yoshida Nagatoshi took a step back smoothly, and Kobayakawa Hirohei was not so lucky. Because just as he retreated, two spears moved with him, and at this time Kobayakawa Hirohei knew why these two soldiers had been following this Kuroda family samurai, it turned out that this Kuroda family samurai was not ready to fight with him at the beginning, but wanted to join forces to deal with himself together.
But now I know that it's a little late, because Yoshida Nagatoshi has already followed the attack, Kobayakawa Hirohei saw that something was wrong, and his body dodged to the left, just dodging a shot from Yoshida Nagatoshi, but the ashigaru on his left side just happened to attack with a shot, and it just stabbed Kobayakawa Hirohei in the waist. When Kobayakawa Hirohei tried to dodge again, he was stabbed in the thigh by Yoshida Nagatoshi again, and then stabbed Kobayakawa Hirohei in the chest with another shot, and as a result, this arrogant person of the Kobayakawa family.
Kobayakawa Hirohei, as the main general of the Kobayakawa family's attack, was originally the first to rush to the castle to greatly boost the morale of Kobayakawa's army, but now that Kobayakawa Hirohei is dead, the soldiers who followed him are not only demoralized, but also because there is no command, it is inevitable that there will be chaos.
Seeing that there was a riot among the soldiers of the Kobayakawa family in front of him, Kobayakawa Takakei was very angry, "What's going on? Why did the soldiers of this family mess up on their own just after the siege began? ”
Soon, there was a military report that Kobayakawa Hirohei was killed on a horse, which caused chaos in Kobayakawa's army.
"The guy who has not succeeded enough and has more than enough to lose, order Lord Fujii Haoxuan to press it immediately, and Takahei Iguchi will also go up together, and you will take over the five hundred soldiers of the family for the time being."
"Hey!" Takahei Iguchi immediately took the order and left.
This time, because the Maori side invested a large number of people at the beginning, the pressure on the Kuroda family was still very great, especially after the Kobayakawa army recovered its morale, and the Fujii family soldiers also pressed up, the Kuroda family immediately suffered casualties, fortunately, with the blessing of the small array, the Kuroda family's soldiers were still able to resist the attack of the Maori side, but the battle situation was much worse for the Kuroda family than when they attacked the city for the first time before.
After more than an hour of hard fighting, the Kuroda family finally repelled the attack of the Maori side, but also paid the price of more than 30 people, although they killed more than 200 enemy soldiers, but the battle loss ratio had dropped from ten to one to seven to one. (To be continued.) )
