"The Kuroda family is the only one left, do they really want to defend this city? Isn't this giving up your own lives in vain? Or is it that the Kuroda family is already scared and has withdrawn to Bizen Province," Kumagai Motonao said with a laugh. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Kumagai-sama, and all of you, don't take it lightly, it is said that the Kuroda family's ashigaru combat power is very strong!" Akakawa said worriedly at this time.

"It's all right, my lords, let's kill them in one go! Bei China is ours, and Bi Qianguo is also ahead! Kumagai Motonao said with a smile.

"Kumagai-sama said it well, in that case, everyone, kill" Yoshikawa Motoharu said with his katana unsheathed and pointed.

"Hey! Kill," the crowd shouted, rushing towards Senwa Castle.

The 3,000 Maori troops did not stop, they immediately lined up and killed them directly against Senting Castle, and the Maori army moved very quickly, and the distance of dozens of steps was in a blink of an eye. The defenders of the Kuroda family in the city seemed to be really scared, and they seemed completely indifferent to the butcher's knives raised by the Maori army, and they did not even make any defensive movements and preparations.

Just when the Maori army approached Senyu Castle and thought that it had won the battle, suddenly there was a loud shout from the castle, and in an instant, there were hundreds of crossbows and ashigaru and the Kuroda family's firecracker team and iron cannon reserve at the head of the castle, which filled the castle, and it can be said that the long-range team that the Kuroda family can handle is basically ready here, and the Kuroda family has bet all the chips this time, which can be said to be very confident.

It was just an instant, the fire guns, iron cannons, and crossbow arrows on the city wall were fired together, and the momentum on the city suddenly rose up, completely suppressing the momentum of the Maori army, especially this wave of attacks, killing and wounding nearly 100 Maori troops in an instant, and all the soldiers of the Maori army were almost stunned, standing in place, and the morale was suddenly gone.

This is not scientific! Isn't there supposed to be only two hundred Kuroda families at the head of the city? Isn't Senwa Castle supposed to fight in a fight? Haven't the Kuroda family already escaped? Why is the Kuroda family's long-range firepower all here? This is not the plot arranged by the script!

Hundreds of Kuroda families took advantage of the fact that the Maori army was stunned and at a loss, and another volley was fired, and the Maori army fell by hundreds more. More than 200 people fell in two volleys, and the Maori army was finally frightened, and a ashigaru was the first to react, suddenly screaming, throwing away his weapon, and began to flee backwards.

This fleeing samurai is like a lead on a bomb, it doesn't matter if he runs, dozens or hundreds of people behind him have begun to follow suit, and they have begun to turn around and run away, in this era, when fighting, as long as someone starts to retreat, it is basically difficult to suppress, if the main general does not handle it well, it is even possible to cause a big rout.

"Bastard, don't be afraid, don't run away, don't run." Motoharu Yoshikawa shouted, but no one paid attention to Motoharu Yoshikawa.

"Young master, retreat!" Just as Yoshikawa Warpress said this, there was a "crunch", and the gate of Senwa Castle opened, and the 3,000 Kuroda family troops who were ambushed in the city swarmed out, and at the same time, two thousand troops came out from the flanks and rear of the Maori army, and the 5,000 Kuroda family army began to strangle the Maori family's army together.

"Withdraw, withdraw." Realizing the urgency of the situation, Motoharu Yoshikawa, who reacted, immediately shouted loudly.

The 3,000 Maori army eventually turned into a rout, and everyone rushed to run desperately in the direction of Matsuyama Castle, and none of the Maori soldiers were in the mood to reflexively fight against the Kuroda army, and at this moment most of the Maori soldiers had lost their courage as soldiers, not to mention the many peasant soldiers in the middle of the team who could only fight with the wind, and after they lost their simple weapons, they ran much faster than the heavily armed Ashigaru.

From time to time, the Maori army was intercepted by the Kuroda family, and together with the companions who caught up behind, they slowly formed a siege around them, and ate them in one bite, forcing the enemy to surrender directly on their knees.

Although the Kuroda family was strong in combat, although the Maori army had no morale because of the middle plan, after all, the Kuroda family only had 5,000 people, and after chasing and killing for more than ten miles, they still let the Maori army escape thousands of people, beheaded 800, and captured nearly 1,000 people.

When Yoshikawa Motoharu's army fled all the way to Matsuyama Castle, he found that Matsuyama Castle had been besieged by a large amount of water. The Maori family was also surprised, Yoshikawa Motoharu was worthy of being a famous general in history, and he was extremely decisive in the encounter, and immediately ordered everyone to make a small boat, and rescued nearly 10,000 Maori troops before the Kuroda family army came, and the 11,000 Maori troops immediately retreated to Tsurushou Castle for a temporary rest.

Although the Kuroda family arrived a step late, nearly 2,000 people remained in Matsuyama Castle and were not able to escape. The two thousand men were trapped in the city and fell into the siege of the Kuroda family's army, and the Kuroda family was not in a hurry to attack the city, but only tightly besieged them in Matsuyama Castle. The Maori soldiers in the city, they lacked the necessary military rations, and after holding out for a day, most of the ordinary soldiers were forced by the situation to open the castle and surrender to the Kuroda family. Only a small number of samurai and ashigaru would rather die than surrender, and in the end they were only killed by the Kuroda family.

For the escape of the main force of the Maori family, Kotera felt very sorry, but there was a second time, and there was more opportunities to defeat the Maori family in the future, so there was no need to rush for a while, plus the nearly 3,000 captives of the Maori family, the Kuroda family not only had a lot of young and strong labor this time, but also greatly weakened the strength of the Maori family, and the loss of nearly 4,000 people was not a small amount even for the Maori family.

The Kuroda family didn't care about Matsuyama Castle in the water at all, otherwise it wouldn't have flooded this famous city, and all the Kuroda family cared about was the outcome of the battle. After receiving thousands of young captives, Kuroda ordered the captives to be sent back to Senyu Castle for centralized management, and what awaits them in the future is to go to Ginzan in Tajima Province and use their labor to contribute to the construction of the Kuroda family.

If they are lucky, these 3,000 captives can survive for two years, and they can become ordinary people who have escaped the status of laborers and become the Kuroda family, and then they can choose to become soldiers of the Kuroda family, or they can just become ordinary people, get a small piece of land, and live a stable life. The Kuroda family knew that the Maori army still escaped tens of thousands of people, so they did not rush to attack, but just camped on the spot and waited for the next battle with the Maori army.
