Chapter 37 Chaos

The Maori Yuan and high-ranking samurai can survive the baptism of the flood in the castle tower safely, but tens of thousands of ordinary soldiers of the Maori army, in order not to be swept away by the flood, can only desperately squeeze on the city wall, in this kind of life-threatening time, it is most likely to expose the true nature of people. The wall of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is so wide, and it can only accommodate so many people, standing three or five thousand people is already the limit, and it is fortunate that Matsuyama City is a relatively large mountain city. But those who went up first hoped that they could save their lives, and those who didn't go up didn't want to die, and some of the ashigaru and peasant soldiers who were still in the heavy water in the city began to squeeze desperately towards the city wall.

Some of the ashigaru and samurai who went to the wall first were not necessarily lucky, they were surrounded by the same Maori army, and if it was a companion of the Hao family, it would be better to say, everyone was related to each other, so they were able to resist the pressure around them together, and at least they could ensure that they could stand in an area on the city wall and protect their lives. And some lone soldiers and even samurai are likely to be pushed directly into the water under the city wall by the small groups that spontaneously formed behind them.

Don't look at the water depth is only one meter, but first, in that era, the general height of island people was really a huge hard injury, and more than one meter was already very deep for them; Secondly, most of the people who fall into the water, they are not prepared in advance, once they fall into the water, they are very flustered, even if they can stand, they will struggle because of panic, and finally drown; Third, what is the situation below, whether there is a torrent, whether there is a broken wall, so the person who is pushed down is a tragedy. And the people who push it won't care about this! They only care about their own safety. Therefore, many Maori soldiers who fell did not die at the hands of the Kuroda family, but died at the hands of their own people.

Of course, in addition to the city wall, there is no other safe place in the city, in order to survive, human beings can often bring out their maximum potential, there are some thin but flexible soldiers, since they can't go up the city wall, they climb the roofs of those buildings that are relatively strong. It didn't take long for a lot of people to be crowded on the rooftops of the city. If you stand on a high place and look at it, the current Matsuyama Castle is really a spectacular sight.

"This ...... Is this Matsuyama Castle still our Maori Army? Gui Yuancheng, who was standing on the castle tower like all the samurai, saw the scene in the castle and the chaos of the Maori soldiers on the city walls and rooftops, and suddenly said stupidly.

Maori Yuan didn't react at all, just looked at the chaos around him and inside the city on the city wall, and was silent, maybe because he couldn't do anything, maybe because he never thought about the result of the Maori army today, he just stood like that, clenched his fists, and the sadness on his face did not dissipate for a long time. If no miracle had happened, perhaps the Mori family would have suffered even greater losses when the Kuroda family launched a real attack.

The farce in Matsuyama Castle lasted for a whole day, and the water finally stabilized, even if you stand in the water, there will be no danger to your life, of course, standing in the water all the time, it will still be uncomfortable, 10,000 Maori troops are left in the end more than 9,800 people, and only less than 200 people really died, for the 10,000 army of the Maori family, this proportion is really not high.

However, after the Kuroda Shui attack, the morale of the Maori army was greatly damaged, especially in the flood, all the materials of the Lotus Camel Reserve, including the valuable grain and grass, were all washed away by the flood, or they were rotted due to soaking, and in the end only a few bags of grain were recovered, and they were all soaked in the water and almost difficult to swallow. Under these circumstances, the morale of the Maori army was not only low, but even after the lack of food, the slightest carelessness could threaten to bomb the camp.

In the early morning of the next day after the flooding of Matsuyama Castle, even Ashigaru had no food to feed the samurai lord, let alone the peasants. But when people are hungry, they still think of a way, and a ashigaru saw a mouse struggling in the water beside him, and his eyes lit up after two meals of food, and he immediately stabbed his spear at the mouse, and the mouse only had time to squeak and then stopped moving.

He was just about to draw back the spear, when he felt a huge force behind him, knocking him directly into the water, two ashigaru snatched his spear with a mouse inserted, this ashigaru still wanted to snatch it back, a strong ashigaru pressed his head directly into the water, he still wanted to struggle, just fluttered a few times, and there was no movement.

"What to do, I accidentally killed him." The dead hand of Ashigaru suddenly became frightened when he saw the corpse in the water, and he just grabbed a mouse, but killed his own person, which is really a bit unreasonable.

"Don't be afraid, San Lang, he drowned himself and has nothing to do with us." His companion said coldly.

"Right...... Yes, that's it, he drowned himself. The two of them left the corpse and quickly left here, maybe this is human nature!

Half a day before the Kuroda family flooded Matsuyama Castle, Yoshikawa Motoharu led 3,000 people to the junction of Tony-gun and Kayo-gun, and Chetu occupied Senwa Castle, cut off the Kuroda family's retreat, and then relied on the defense of the castle to completely cut off the return route of the Kuroda family's army, and then annihilated the Kuroda army together with the Mori Moto's army.

"Lord Yoshikawa, there is Senwa Castle in front, if the lord's army comes quickly, as long as the Kuroda family is defeated, we can't afford to spend the night in Bizen Province tonight!" Kumagai Moto, pointing straight at Senyu Castle in front of him, said with a smile.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think what Kumagai-sama said is extremely true, but what the lord said before is also extremely correct, the Kuroda family is indeed scheming, and we have to guard against it, so everyone, we must go forward and capture Senwa Castle in one fell swoop, so that when the lord comes, we can continue to attack Bizen Province, and we must let the Kuroda family know who is the overlord of the western country." Motoharu Yoshikawa shouted excitedly.

"Hey!" As soon as they heard that there was an opportunity to attack Bizen Province, everyone shouted excitedly.

The 3,000 Maori troops faced Senwa Castle, and they found that there didn't seem to be many defenders on the castle at this time, and there were only one or two hundred people on the city walls, which was exactly the size of the Kuroda family's various teams. But for a relatively large city like Senting Castle, this team seems to be a little small, and the defenders are sparse standing on the city wall, and this person is really only enough for the three thousand elite Maori army.
