Chapter 149: Retreat to Honmaru
At this time, Miyata Mitsuji smiled at the samurai of the Maori family who had just killed him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I saw Miyata Mitsuji facing his attack, unusually calm, and when his katana came to him, he picked up his katana from the bottom up, and then this knife directly and quickly slashed at the opponent's neck, killing him with one sword.
At this time, a few more soldiers of the Kuroda family came up, and they also immediately threw themselves into the attack, and the elites of the more than ten Kuroda families faced the attack of more than 30 Maori soldiers, and they did not fall behind at all.
"Young master, what should I do? This Kuroda family's samurai is too powerful. Naoka Eki said.
"All pressed." Maori Yuanqing shouted loudly.
Except for Naorashi Eki and a few guards, the other Maori defenders all pressed up.
Miyata Mitsuji immediately felt the pressure, and he immediately took everyone and gathered together to protect the gap that had just opened.
After fighting on both sides for about half an hour, the Mori family still failed to defeat Miyata Mitsuji and them, but dozens of people came up from the Kuroda family and reversed the situation.
Coupled with the breakthrough of the wealthy clan and the countrymen on the side of the Kuroda family in other positions, Mori Motokiyo took the rest of the people to retreat to the grain and grass pills in front of the main pill at the last moment to continue to resist.
This is an area deliberately divided in front of this pill for defense, although it is called Grain and Grass Pill, in fact, Grain and Grass has long been moved to the city, and now it is just a pure defensive position.
This area is now the only barrier in Honmaru, and this area is only isolated from Ninomaru by simple fortifications, in fact, there is still a big gap between the defensive ability and the real city walls and mounds.
There is no way to retreat here, but what Mori Motokiyo didn't expect was that the Kuroda family didn't repair this time, and with the momentum of just conquering Ninomaru, they rushed to the face, ready to take all the territory in Ninomaru in one fell swoop.
In the end, in desperation, Maori Motoqing led people to retreat to Honmaru.
In the battle of Ninomaru, many of the Mori clan's soldiers had already surrendered to the Kuroda clan. In particular, almost all the people who were temporarily recruited in the city surrendered in order to survive.
Some of the guards who belonged to the original wealthy families and the national families were about to take down the Ninomaru in the Kuroda family, and their main family did not enter the main pill with the Mori Motosei family, and all of them submitted to the Kuroda family with their own adults.
All the families of the wealthy families and the countrymen, because of the previous order of the soil and the fat man, no one was harassed.
And the price of this is that the Kuroda family paid part of the real gold and silver, but even if the amount paid is terrifying, Tsuchihi Yahachi doesn't care, anyway, it was all moved out of the Maori family's treasury, and it wasn't very heartbreaking to send it out.
The reason why the Kuroda family wants to protect these wealthy families and the families of the countrymen also has their own destination, and now Kuroda Vocational High School is about to do something to the Maori family, and many people under the command of the Maori family, their loyalty to the Maori family is actually only based on the fact that they can obtain land, or the prestige of the Maori family before, if you know that An Yunguo has been by the Kuroda family, and the main family is still in the hands of the Kuroda family, whether these people can still calmly guarantee their loyalty, it is really difficult to say.
In particular, some wealthy families and Chinese families who have already been in contact with the Kuroda family before, their families have expressed their sincere welcome to the arrival of the Kuroda family, and they are not at all like the side defeated by the Kuroda family, the binomial winner.
The soldiers who really retreated to Honmaru with the Mori Motosei family, after several blows from the Kuroda family, there were only about 200 people left, not to mention the other casualties, and some of the 500 defenders also took refuge in the Kuroda family, which was definitely the wisest choice made at the most dangerous time.
After the Kuroda family occupied Ninomaru and Liangkusamaru, they immediately launched an attack on Yamashiro Honmaru in Yoshida County, and at this time Mori Motokiyoshi already knew that he probably couldn't resist the Kuroda family. In the face of the Kuroda family's attack, he actually really tried his best. Organized the people in the city and the Hao clan miscellaneous soldiers to participate in the battle, desperately resisting the attack of the Kuroda family, and finally was surrounded by Honmaru.
It's not that he can't do it, Maori Motoqing inherited the fine tradition of Maori Motoshi, but he is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and his ability can even be said to be much stronger than Tohi Yahachi and Miyata Mitsuji. There are still too few people in his hands, only five hundred, and these people are indeed too few for the Yoshida Yamashiro of Nuoda, and for the 10,000 soldiers of the Kuroda family.
If he gave Maori Motoqing a thousand soldiers, at least not like now, 400 out of 500 people were old, weak, sick and disabled, and he would be very confident to resist the attack of the Kuroda family. But there are not so many ifs, and now that the Kuroda family has begun to attack Honmaru, the huge shouting of killing can be heard clearly by Mori Motokiyo in the castle tower.
"Young master, we only have two hundred people left, and our morale is very low." Eki Naora came to Maori Yuanqing at this time and said.
"We've done a great job." Maori Motoqing said.
At this time, Mori Motoaki, who was already in the original service, and the thirteen-year-old Tsuru Masaki (the historical Dewa Motoju) came to the castle tower.
"Gorou, Rokuro, why are you here?" Maori Yuanqing said with some surprise.
"Brother, we are going to come over and share the burden for our brother."
"Nonsense, do you know how powerful the Kuroda family is?" Maori Motoqing said loudly.
"Brother, we know that the 10,000 army of the Kuroda family has forced us to such an extent, of course we know." Maori Motoaki said.
"Hey!" Maori Yuanqing looked at his two younger brothers, just sighed, and didn't say anything else.
"Let's go to war too! None of my Maori descendants is a bad seed. Tsuru Master Maru said.
"It's all my incompetence, in this case, the fifth stays, the sixth, the other younger brothers and sisters are still young, and they still need your protection, so you can protect them!" Maori Motoqing said.
"Brother, but I want to fight alongside you." Tsuru said loudly.
"You can protect yourself, as well as your brothers and sisters, so that the two of us can safely rush forward and kill, do you understand?" Maori Motoqing said.
"Hey! I understand. ”
The determination of the Maori family's soldiers to resist is not high, in fact, there are only a few dozen Maori elites, and more than half of them have been killed in the previous battle with Miyata Mitsuji.
