Chapter 19 Takachiho Mountain
Imate Tomoshi was a little frustrated that Shimazu Yoshihisa was able to turn back from Hyuga Province so quickly, and even shouted that he would immediately attack the inner castle and take the inner castle before Shimazu Yoshihisa returned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Although this statement has been baptized by so many wars, he himself is a little unconvinced that he can succeed so quickly. But he just couldn't swallow this breath, his psychology at this time was estimated to be like a child, he had already set up a dozen benches, and when he was about to get the candy at the top of the cabinet, his mother opened the door and came back, and he could only retract his hand if he couldn't eat, and the feeling of grievance when he put all the benches away!
Fortunately, his radical idea was stopped in time by Shigeharu Takenaka, if the inner city has not been captured in the end because of the serious losses caused by the assault and siege, and the Shimazu family is here again, it will be difficult to predict for the Kuroda family's army, and morale will inevitably be greatly hit, and it is likely that the final result will be a fiasco for the Kuroda family.
This is something that both Imate Tomoji and Takenaka Shigeji can't accept, so after Takenaka Shigeji dissuaded him, in fact, Iate Tomoji, who was just a little angry, immediately dispelled the idea he had just had.
However, Shigeharu Takenaka will not really give up the attack on the inner city because of the return of the Shimazu family.
The final result was that Imate Tomoshi left Hanafang Masayuki's 3,000 men in Ninomaru in the castle, and defended himself against any possible counterattack by Honmaru Shimazu Yoshihiro, making sure to trap them in the castle. After all, in the battle sequence of the Imate Tomo's clan, the strength of Hanafang Masayuki, who can fight tough battles, is still very valued.
Shimazu Yoshihiro's ability, in the previous battle, has been put to heart by the Imate Yushi clan, so he didn't dare to have any contempt for this ruthless person of the Shimazu family, so he left Hanafang Masayuki, even if Shimazu Yoshihiro is a cow, with the three hundred people under his command, it is difficult to play a role in front of Hanafang Masayuki!
The Kuroda family's army of more than 14,000 has been fully mobilized and will meet Shimazu Yoshihisa on the side of Mt. Takachiho near Satsuma Province.
On June 5, 1572, to the west of Mt. Takachiho, the Kuroda family's 14,000 troops were all lined up and were waiting for the Shimazu family to attack.
On the other side of Mt. Takachiho, the Shimazu family has actually arrived, but they need to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity to attack the Kuroda family.
The chief general of the Shimazu family is the head of the family, Shimazu Yoshihisa, but the actual commander is the fourth Shimazu Iehisa, the eldest of the four brothers of the Shimazu family, he is a very intelligent person, and he has shown superhuman military talent since he was a child, even Shimazu Yoshihisa as a family, is not comparable to him at all in military terms.
In the previous war with the Hyuga Kunigo, the Shimazu family was able to win largely because of Shimazu Iehisa's outstanding performance. The saying that one person can decide a war seems to be very applicable to Shimazu Iehisa, and in Minami Kyushu alone, his ability can even compete with Kuroda's vocational high school.
At this time, Shimazu Iehisa was standing on a slope of Mt. Takachiho, overlooking the army of the Kuroda family from top to bottom.
But it's for someone else. For Shimazu Iehisa, he even felt a little excited at this time, he seemed to have no opponent in Minami Kyushu, at least he hadn't met an opponent until now, which was a very lonely thing.
It's a great pleasure in life to have opponents like the Shimazu family and the Kuroda family, or a giant that seems to be basically unbeatable. You must know that when there is no opponent, it can only be said that the high place is not cold.
"Fourth, what do you think, do you think there is any hope of defeating the Kuroda family?" It was a tap on his shoulder, and he turned around to find that it was his brother and Shimazu Yoshihisa, who was also a member of the Shimazu family.
"It's my brother! I'm looking at the situation of the Kuroda family, judging from the number of people in the team, there is no problem with the intelligence, which is at least 14,000 or 5,000 people, which is not much worse than the intelligence, because it is likely that they left some people in the inner city to continue to besiege the second brother, and these should be all the soldiers and horses they are using now. ā
"That's it! That means the inner city hasn't fallen yet, right? It's just great. Shimazu Yoshihisa said with some joy.
"But don't be too happy too early, even if the inner city is not lost, presumably the second brother's situation is very critical now. Because according to the intelligence, the Kuroda family has 18,000 troops coming out of battle this time and coming to our Satsuma country. Since there are only 14,000 or 5,000 people in this place, it means that there are probably 3,000 people besieging the inner city, a number that the second brother cannot easily face.
And we must take into account that the Kuroda family had been besieging the inner castle for a long time before the main army of the Honda family turned back from Hyuga. Even if the second brother is still able to defend the inner city now, it is estimated that there will not be too many soldiers and horses under his command, because the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family is still very strong. ā
"In this case, even if it is just to be able to rescue the second child, we must attack the Kuroda family head-on this time, and we must let the Kuroda family know who is the master of this Satsuma country." Shimazu Yoshihisa said viciously.
"My brother is right."
"In this case, fourth, tell me, how can we defeat the Kuroda family in front of us, just a simple rush into battle, presumably it shouldn't have much effect on the Kuroda family, after all, they have an absolute advantage in numbers. Moreover, it seems that their soldiers are also very well-armed, and it should be very difficult to defeat the Kuroda family in a direct head-to-head battle. ā
After Shimazu Yoshihisa finished speaking, Shimazu Iejiu nodded unconsciously, because he could see very clearly that almost every one of the soldiers of the Kuroda family's army at the foot of the mountain had very sophisticated weapons and equipment, which the Shimazu family would never be able to do.
His younger brother Shimazu Iehisa is a very calm person, he has been like this since he was a child, he will not wantonly violate the objective facts to belittle the opponent in order to encourage the morale of his side, nor will he blindly pessimistic sigh because the opponent is strong. After observing the battlefield, he always gives very pertinent opinions and suggestions, and Shimazu Yoshihisa, as the boss, knows this very well.
