Matsuyama Castle in Onsen County is the second castle that the Utsunomiya family encountered after entering the hot spring county, and like the previous Yehara Castle that resisted the Utsunomiya family stubbornly, Matsuyama Castle, as the castle on the side of the Kono family, is also unwilling to submit to the Utsunomiya family.

The reason why the lord of Matsuyama Castle, who has not even been able to leave his name in history, chose this way is because after careful consideration in his heart, he felt that now the army of the Kuroda family had entered Iyo Province, so judging from the current situation of the Kono family, there is a good chance that the last surname of Iyo Country is Kuroda.

And I heard that the strength of the Kuroda family is very strong, and they are also good at using various war strategies. In that case, the Kuroda family should be able to come here soon! As long as he can take his subordinates to defend the city for a few more days and hold on until the Kuroda family's army comes here, then he can justifiably surrender to the Kuroda family's command.

Maybe he will get an additional reward from the Kuroda family because of his meritorious work in defending the land! The city lord himself thought beautifully.

Since Matsuyama Castle was unwilling to submit, the Utsunomiya family, who came to attack, could only go up and knock on the turtle shell. The Utsunomiya family really had a lot of soldiers coming this time, and before the siege, they also made enough noise.

But they really underestimated Matsuyama Castle's will to resist, and at the same time overestimated their own ability to attack. After all, the Utsunomiya family is not the Kuroda family, and they can fight every time they attack the city, even the Kuroda family can't do it.

Hundreds of soldiers of the Utsunomiya family launched a siege on Matsuyama Castle together. After being shot and wounded by the Maruki Bow to five people, these Utsunomiya family soldiers began to possess ants. The defenders of Matsuyama Castle faced the attack of the Utsunomiya family, and relied on the help of the terrain and tsubo to start a fierce battle with the Utsunomiya family.

Half an hour has passed, and the Utsunomiya family has not been able to make any progress, and the morale has become very low, at this time, Utsunomiya Toyotsuna can only choose to withdraw the army.

After a tiger-like siege battle, the Utsunomiya family was not able to capture Matsuyama Castle, although it still caused more than a dozen casualties on the other side, but his side lost dozens of people, and Utsunomiya Toyotsuna was still quite heartbroken.

"Erlang, why did you say that the wealthy family of the Kono family resisted so fiercely?" Utsunomiya Toyotsuna sat on the shogunate throne and said to his younger brother Utsunomiya Massuna suspiciously.

"Brother, it was the Kono family that suppressed me before, but now it's my Utsunomiya that invades the Kono family, maybe it's unacceptable for a while!" Utsunomiya Masatsuna said.

"That's reasonable, your sister, since you look down on my famous Utsunomiya family, let these Xiaoxiao taste our awesomeness!" Utsunomiya Toyotsuna smiled presumptuously.

Matsuyama Castle is not an ordinary small town, but the first fortified castle in the hot spring county, and there are more than 160 soldiers in the city, and with the ability of the Utsunomiya family, it is not easy to conquer.

As a result, the Utsunomiya family did not capture Matsuyama Castle for two days, but first ushered in the Kono family's Kaneko Mototaku army. At that time, the Utsunomiya family was besieging the castle. Jin Ziyuan led the people, quietly touched the rear of Songshan City, and then suddenly killed the whole army from the rear of the city, and the momentum was like a rainbow.

It's just that as soon as they fought, the Utsunomiya family, who was still besieging the city, was in chaos, and they couldn't imagine why the Kono family, who was still facing the Kuroda family's attack, would send an army to attack them! Could it be that the Kuroda family has already surrendered?

No matter what Utsunomiya Toyozuna thinks, anyway, the Kaneko Motoya didn't leave any hands, and fought desperately with two thousand soldiers and the Utsunomiya family, and even the defenders of Matsuyama Castle opened the city and went out of the city to kill the Utsunomiya family's soldiers, and the Utsunomiya family's soldiers saw that the situation was not good, and immediately deserters appeared, which then caused the Utsunomiya family to retreat.

It's true that the Kono family can't win against the Kuroda family, but the Kono family told the Utsunomiya family with practical actions, you Utsunomiya and I can still win.

After the Kuroda family's Ando Mamoru army occupied Shini-gun, he received news that the Kono family had repelled the Utsunomiya family's invasion of the hot spring gun. In the face of the attack of the Kuroda family's 11,000 troops, the Kono family dared to send a thousand troops to defeat the invasion of the Utsunomiya family, which was very bold to be honest, and it was also very tragic in the eyes of everyone in the Kuroda family.

Mamoru Ando didn't say anything about this, but he had already marked the Utsunomiya family in his heart that it must be cleared. If you honestly wait for submission, now with my Kuroda family on your side, it will be a little unbearable to take advantage of the unknown situation.

On the contrary, it was the performance of the Kono family that made Mamoru Ando feel that his eyes lit up one by one, knowing who can fight and who can't be provoked, this is a performance of knowing the current affairs very well!

"Please come to Taka Yamamoto." After thinking about it for a long time, Mamoru Ando still decided to persuade the Kono family to surrender.

"Lord Hinatamoru, are you going to let me go down to Yuzuki Castle?" Yamamoto said with a smile as soon as he entered the big tent.

"Doom...... This, indeed, Lord Yamamoto, I think that this Kono family is still more aware of current affairs, and there is still the possibility of persuasion. Moreover, the Kono family's maximum mobilization is still as many as 3,000 people, and if they really fight one by one, I am afraid that with the current situation, it will be very difficult, and it will inevitably cause huge losses to the army. Mamoru Ando said.

Ando Mori's heart is not as calm as it appears on the surface, although he came to the Kuroda family before, he was also treated favorably by Kuroda Jobtaka and became the seventh senior minister of the Kuroda family, but except for the skillful Kuroda Jobaka, the incomprehensible Kuroda Job, the terrifying Imate Tomoshi, and Sanada Masayuki who only knew because of Takenaka Shigeharu's introduction, he really didn't feel much about other people.

In this Shikoku Expedition, he really saw the wrist of Kuroda Vocational High School, the army of the Miyoshi family of Nuoda, under the various means of Kuroda Vocational High School, it was defeated when it was said to be defeated.

Miyata Mitsuji, Tsuchihi Yahachi, the two Kuroda family prime-aged generals, all have the courage of ten thousand people, so forget it. He was deeply impressed by many young generals, such as Yoshitoshi Koga, Shinsho Kogawa, Rishiyama Riyasu, Takekasa Keinobu, Ryūmei Kuniryō, and Akashi Juntobo.

Now Yamamoto Takatsu, the diplomatic pursuit of the Kuroda family, can persuade dozens of wealthy families to collectively join the Kuroda family with one mouth, and he knows his intentions as soon as he opens his mouth, which does make Ando Mamoru have some changes in his psychology, at least he is more in awe of the Kuroda family.

"Lord Hyuga-sama, please leave this matter to you." Takahiro Yamamoto said with a smile.
