Chapter 10: Shimazu takes the lead
"What you said is indeed true, now is the time for the great enemy to serve their family. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's just because of this that the family can temporarily assemble a team, which is exactly what I'm worried about. Shimazu Yoshihiro said with some concern.
"What do you mean by this?" Arikawa said suspiciously.
"Think about it, the Kuroda family was able to fully grasp the movements of the family this time, and knew that the army of the family was out of the Hyuga country, so they launched a sneak attack, and the intelligence ability of the Kuroda family can be seen. And with such a strong intelligence ability of the Kuroda family, they will not be unprepared for the inner city, and they dare to attack the inner city even if they know that their family can make up such a number of men and horses in a short period of time, which shows that they have no fear, or at least they have a way to defeat the third and their team. ”
"My lord, do you mean that the Kuroda family is going to encircle the point and send reinforcements?" Sadama Arikawa said.
"That's true, I'm not afraid of the Kuroda family coming to the perimeter to help, because as long as you are careful, this is something that can be prevented. And what is the means of the Kuroda family to attack the inner city, but it is not something we can guard against, because they are a sudden attack, the so-called enemy is in the dark, I am in the dark, we can't know what means they will use at all, we can only defend passively, this is a very unfavorable situation.
Moreover, in the Kuroda family's camp for the past two days, it seems that they are also in full swing of preparations, and when they come again, they are really prepared. If the inner city is really lost this time, it will inevitably be a very big blow to my brother's actions in Hyuga. ”
"What about the main hall?"
"(Shimazu Yoshihisa retreats) It's not easy, you think about it, even if at this time, they get the news of what is happening here, and then immediately start withdrawing troops, even if the Ito family is not difficult for us, then at least some price will have to be paid to be able to retreat! At that time, don't talk about the land of Hyuga Country, it would be good to be able to bring all the people back.
Even so, with the current situation of their withdrawal, with the current number of people in their own family, compared to the 18,000 people of the Kuroda family, there is still no way to compete with them.
Therefore, the best situation for the family now is that we can keep the inner city through various means before my brother can come back. In this way, we will be able to deal a blow to the overall morale of the Kuroda family's army, and we will not fight them at that time, but will only harass them on the periphery, and as long as we can delay their attack, we will definitely win later. ”
"So what the lord means is that we must break through the first outer blockade, and then harass the Kuroda army to demoralize them."
"Yes, this is also the only way to face the Kuroda family now, although it is indeed dangerous to do so, but the family really has no other way."
"Hey! I understood it below, and immediately ordered it to prepare. ”
After Akatsuka Shinken left, Shimazu stood alone in the Imperial Pavilion and whispered: "The so-called war time, location, and people, the time of heaven does not know which side to favor, and we may have lost the location, and the only thing we can do in the end is the human factor!" Do your best, obey the fate of God, is the Shimazu family going to suffer such a fate again, God bless my Shimazu family! ”
Shimazu took more than 400 soldiers, including his own subordinates and five families (the Shimazu family's claim to be 72 families, but it was not called in vain), to the inner city.
It's just that the speed of the march is not fast, the Kuroda family has been besieging the inner city for more than a day, and the number of people is 18,000, and in addition to this, the situation of the Kuroda family Shimazu does not know anything about it, so he has to be cautious.
Because Yoshida Castle is not far from the inner city, the Kuroda family can calmly make various arrangements at any point on the road in one day, and any negligence may lead to the rout of their own side.
For Shimazu Suijiu, the Anwei of these 400 people is second, and after keeping these people and horses, he went to contain the Kuroda family and protect the safety of the inner city, which he saw very clearly.
The best place for an ambush is in the valley between the two mountains, and when the enemy enters the urn, block the two exits, and then rain arrows from the two mountains to kill and wound the enemy.
Therefore, Shimazu has been extremely careful along the way, checking the surrounding environment at any time, especially where there are hills, he will be more careful.
As a result, when he was halfway through, he was shocked to see that a Kuroda family's army had stopped in the middle of the road with a big grin, as if it was waiting for him, and the number was about eight hundred.
Shimazu looked left and right for a long time, and there were some woods on both sides of the area, but the woods were not large, even if they were Tibetans, there were not many of them, and there was no sign of an ambush in the woods for the time being.
Shimazu looked at the team of the Kuroda family on the other side, the number of people was indeed twice as large as his side, but the soldiers seemed to be just ordinary ashigaru and peasant soldiers, and he didn't see too many abnormalities, so he was a little relieved.
You must know that Satsuma is located in a remote area, there are a lot of people, and the people are fierce, so even if it is a peasant soldier, as long as they fight bloody, they are more powerful than other ashigaru, which is the reason why the Shimazu family has always dominated Satsuma.
If the Kuroda family was just like this, Shimazu felt a little disappointed for a long time. I thought that the Kuroda family was scheming, and what kind of earth-shattering peerless strategy would be used, which caused him to spend a lot of energy, and in the end, it just blocked the road, which really made him cry and laugh.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is the interception team of the Kuroda family in front, as long as we can defeat them, we can smoothly reach the inner city boundary after that, and as long as we can ensure that the inner city is not lost, the lord will have a heavy reward. I would like to promise you separately that you will be rewarded with 10 coins for killing the Kuroda family, 30 for killing ashigaru, and 100 for killing samurai. ”
As Shimazu's words fell, he rushed out first. Shimazu is the most skilled of the four brothers of the Shimazu family, because he is a master of the body, and at the age of twenty-five, he was exempted from the passenger, and after years of war, his strength is second only to Shinna Tadamoto among the Shimazu family samurai.
I have to say that the Shimazu family soldiers are very brave, the two sides have only been in contact for a short time, and the Shimazu family soldiers, who are absolutely inferior in numbers, actually forced the Kuroda family's 800 troops back a few meters.
