Chapter 115: Kuriyama Ri'an Asks for War
The Kuroda family still uses long-range attacks to reduce their losses, but in the face of a fortified city like Ogura Castle, long-range attacks are indeed useful, but in the end, the effect it can play is not so great. After all, the walls and stone walls of Ogura Castle are not good-looking.
After attacking for half an hour, the Kuroda family did not achieve much success, and Kuroda Vocational High School could only invest two infantry teams to launch an attack on Kokura Castle.
Zhongzhong Tongyin himself is not an outstanding general, and he is relatively better at internal affairs. And there are no famous samurai under his command, so when facing the attack of the Kuroda family, he is somewhat powerless, after all, the combat power of the Kuroda family soldiers is too strong.
Even so, with the defensive advantage of the castle and the determination of the soldiers to fight, the middle commander and his subordinates successfully defended the first round of attacks of the Kuroda family, and their losses were not very large.
"Who is the defender of Ogura Castle?" After the first round of attacks, Kuroda asked with interest.
"A samurai of the Otomo family named Zhongtongyin, this person is the lord of a castle, and because he is trusted by Otomo Sorin, he was appointed as the castle representative of Xiaocang Castle." Hattori replied.
Kuroda laughed, in his memory, he didn't remember such a character at all, maybe he had seen it in the game. It should only be as a ronin whose attributes are not very good, and he won't pay attention to such a person at all, because there are too many samurai like this, and even if he finds out, he shouldn't be going to recruit it!
Because the resistance of Ogura Castle in the first round was actually not fierce in the Kuroda family, the Kuroda family did not give the defenders much chance and immediately started the next round. Under the suppression of the long-range soldiers, the foot soldiers of the Kuroda family successfully filled in all the hori outside Ogura Castle.
A strong city, if you face a large number of long-range weapons and enemies with strong combat effectiveness, you will definitely be breached one day, and there is no city in human history that cannot be breached.
Although Ogura Castle made the most stubborn resistance, under the three or four rounds of attacks of the Kuroda family, especially the long-range attacks pouring like flowing water, soon the outer warbes and genbans all fell, and the number of defenders was too small.
It can be said that the Kuroda family is currently facing only Ninomaru and Honmaru in Ogura Castle, as long as they can successfully break through Ninomaru, it is likely that they only need one last time, or at most two attacks, to take this castle that stands in the way.
At this time, Kuroda Vocational High School had already arrived at a house in the castle, and after the soldiers cleared it out, it was used as a temporary command place.
Seeing that Ogura Castle was about to be captured, the samurai of the Kuroda family were very excited, thinking that they could participate in the next round of attacks and take the head of the middle Tongyin as their own merit.
But Kuroda didn't immediately order the attack, and I don't know if he was scrupling or expecting something. However, since he did not give the order to attack, the samurai could only wait for a while, anyway, the breakthrough of the city was already in sight, and they were not in a hurry to do so.
At this time, a person came out from the back of all the samurai, and immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly, "My lord, please let me fight." ”
After this voice sounded, everyone looked at the young samurai standing in the middle of Yashiki, who turned out to be Kuriyama Riyasu, who had been sent to Matsui Shigetaka by Kuroda's sanctions.
The samurai sitting below only realized at this time that we had just asked to fight, and Kuroda Vocational High School did not have any reaction, but now that this young man came out, Kuroda Vocational High School showed a look that was worth playing. It turns out that maybe two people are ready to act in a play at the beginning, this lord is really powerful!
Of course, there are also some older Kuroda samurai, who know the importance that Kuroda Vocational High School attaches to Lishanrian, and they also know the ability of this young man, and he is still the best among the younger generation of Kuroda samurai. So I also hope that this young man can get decent merits and return to the Kuroda family to play and experience.
Kuroda Vocational High School always emphasizes fairness, but it is impossible to be completely fair as long as you are human. This so-called fairness is only relative, just like Kuroda Vocational High School often gave his mother Takayu a lot of opportunities to make great contributions, and for Kuriyama Riyan, a favorite general, Kuroda Vocational High School will be more or less biased.
After all, he is a trusted person around him, so he will still take more care of it, and Kuriyama Riyan is actually guilty now, so he needs a lot of merit to clear his guilt, only in this way can he return to the Kuroda family as soon as possible and re-serve Kuroda's work.
Kuroda didn't answer him immediately, but glanced at everyone in the hall before he said slowly, "Lord Riyan Kuriyama." ”
"Hey!"
"You want to play this time, don't you?"
"Hey!"
"But all of you here want to get the opportunity to fight this time, you tell me why I want you to fight, you must give me and you a reason to convince us."
"My lord, because I know the purpose of my lordship this time, I will definitely be able to complete the task."
"Oh! My purpose, what purpose, you can tell me. ”
"Lord Lord, you don't want to kill the middle Tongyin Lord in the city, this person is an important minister of the Otomo family, and he is also a famous martial artist in the Fengzen country, and he has a very high reputation in the Fengzen country, and his influence is extremely wide, even the Otomo Zonglin needs to rely on it very much, otherwise he will not become the person left here.
If you don't kill this person, you will also show an attitude towards the rest of the Otomo family, and my Kuroda family doesn't only know about killing. If the same situation is encountered in the future, perhaps some people who know the attitude of the family will not resist desperately, which is something that is beneficial to the Kyushu conquest of the family.
However, one thing that makes me strange is that this middle Tongyin Lord has always been very stubborn in resisting the attack of his own family, but he himself has never appeared at the forefront, which may only show that he is not a person with outstanding martial arts, and such a person can lead hundreds of soldiers to resist and resist the attack of his family until now. At least it shows that he is a very capable person, and he is also a very loyal person, isn't such a person a samurai that the lord loves? ”
