Chapter 4: The Battle of Jinchuan Castle

Anyway, the Matsuda family wants to be a turtle, and the Kuroda family is not in a hurry, and slowly looks for and burns the Matsuda family's castles, until it is determined that all the outer castles of the Matsuda family will be burned, and then they set up a camp outside Matsuda Home Castle Jinchuan Castle.

When the people of the Matsuda family saw that the Kuroda family had finally arrived, they were all on the city wall, and they all looked nervously at the army opposite. But the Kuroda family had no intention of attacking at all, and just set up camp there. The Matsuda family relaxed slightly, and the Kuroda family team of Ashigaru walked to the front of the main camp, and the Matsuda family all came to the castle wall to stand guard, but the Kuroda family's Ashigaru just put up a flag outside the camp.

The Kuroda family will go out of the camp from time to time at night to patrol the bar, or repair the wood outside the camp, and the ashigaru of the Matsuda family is nervous to death, but there is nothing to do, neither dare to relax a little, nor dare to go out of the city to fight, who makes his side less people!

Early the next morning, the Kuroda family finally lined up and prepared to attack the city. The 2,600 Kuroda army was in formation under Kanegawa Castle, with 150 crossbows in front, followed by Goto Keisuna's reserve, then Miki Tochiaki's reserve, and Ide Tomo's army pressing the formation.

Seeing that the Kuroda army was all pressed, the army was majestic and neat, and the armor was bright (excluding the Goto Keixuna reserve, the peasant soldiers of the Goto family were still miserable), many Matsuda peasant soldiers and even Ashigaru shivered, feeling that the Matsuda family was really finished this time.

The reserve of the Imate Tomo's clan also has half of the peasant soldiers, but they have basically been trained by Dawn Nobugen, and the Kuroda family has also provided all the peasant soldiers with bamboo armor and a unified spear (ashigaru obsolete product), both in terms of momentum and equipment, it looks similar to the ashigaru of other families.

Matsuda Motoki stood nervously on the city wall, loudly reprimanding the timid ashigaru, telling them to concentrate, not to fight in the jungle, and to prepare for the defense of the city.

The Kuroda family's military formation began to move, and the crossbows were lined up in two rows, slowly bowing their heads and heading in the direction of Kanegawa Castle. It only took two rounds of shooting for the Kuroda family to steadily suppress the long-range strength of the Matsuda family, and under the care of the crossbow ashigaru, the Matsuda family's skilled bow ashigaru was basically scrapped.

Goto Keitsuna led the soldiers of the Goto family to rush to the castle first, and met Matsuda Motoken, the first fierce general of the Matsuda family.

He roared, "Goto old thief, he is treacherous and takes refuge in the Kuroda family from outside, it's really hateful, look at me Matsuda Motogen to take your head." ”

Goto Keizuna, as the original ally of the Matsuda family, already knew Matsuda Motoxian's martial bravery, but at this moment, when he saw Matsuda Motogen killing him, he instantly became a little timid. "Stop him, come and stop him."

Matsuda Motogen was extraordinarily brave, his hand rose and fell, and he stabbed backhand, and in an instant two Goto samurai fell to the ground, and when the other Goto soldiers did not react, they slashed at Goto Keizuna, Goto Keixuna desperately wanted to hide behind, but was blocked in front by his own people, and under his extremely frightened expression, he was hacked to death by Matsuda Motoxian

"The Kuroda family dog thief Goto Keixuna was taken by me, Matsuda Motogen" Matsuda Motogen raised a knife in his hand, cut off Goto Keizuna's head, raised it high, and shouted loudly.

When the Goto soldiers saw that the head of the house was dead, and that they had been beheaded by the enemy's fierce generals, they all began to run back. The Miki family, led by the three Miki Toaki brothers, rushed to the city wall. I happened to see the scene of Goto Keixuna being killed. Miki Tsuaki glanced at his two younger brothers and motioned for the two to attack Matsuda Motoken together, and the two nodded and rushed forward with their katanas together.

"Kuroda Iesaka Hashichotsu Nagado, Funatsui Tsuji" After the two teenagers reported their names, they rushed up to Matsuda Motoxian together.

Matsuda Motogen saw that there was an enemy killed, and slashed at Sakabuchi Nagatsu, Sakabuchi Nagatsu blocked it with a knife, and Funatsui Tsuji behind him took this opportunity to slash at Matsuda Motoxian's abdomen, Matsuda Motoxian's knife had just been cut, and it was not good to do any defensive moves, so he could only take a step back to dodge. Seeing that the Lord would be besieged by two samurai of the enemy, and he was still in a disadvantageous position, several Matsuda family samurai and ashigaru wanted to come to the rescue, but they were all blocked by Miki Tsuaki and his people, and they could not come forward to rescue.

Matsuda Motoxian was besieged by the two, blocking the left and the right branch, reluctantly, embarrassed to resist the attack of the two, but after all, the two fists were hard to beat the four hands, Matsuda Motoxian under the continuous attack of the two, has been exhausted, and soon couldn't support it, after an attack by Funatsui Tongji, he finally revealed a flaw, and was slashed on the back of his right hand by Sakabuchi Nagatsu, the katana couldn't hold it directly and fell to the ground, and Sakazashi Nagatsu stepped forward and stabbed him in the abdomen.

"The Kuroda family is full of shameless people" Matsuda Motoken katana fell to the ground, pointed at the two Sakabuchi Nagatsu brothers with his left hand, and reluctantly finished these words, he spat blood from his mouth and fell to the ground, and Sakabuchi Nagatsu cut off his head with a knife.

"Matsuda Motoken has been taken by the Miki family" After all, it is not a glorious thing to turn into a siege on a horse, Sakabuchi Nagatsu and Funatsui Tsuji still have to be faced, and they are embarrassed to say their names, but killing Matsuda Motoken is a fact, and it is still necessary to publicize it to hit the morale of the Matsuda family.

When Matsuda Motoki heard that Matsuda Motogen was being taken up, a mouthful of blood spurted out and he sat down on the ground. If Matsuda Motoki still had a trace of defeating the Kuroda family and continuing the Matsuda family's luck in local rule. So now Matsuda Motohui's heart can be said to be a dead ash, Matsuda Motoken is his only son, as a local small daimyo, he uses all means to ensure his independence, and even does not hesitate to be enemies with Urakami Sokei, Ukita Nao and Kuroda family, isn't it just to leave a good family business for his son-in-law, and ensure the rule of the family? Now that Matsuda Motoken is dead, even if he defeats the Kuroda family, in the absence of an heir, who can he hand over the foundation of the Matsuda family of more than 10,000 stones? Could it be that he really did something wrong to resist the Kuroda family, is this the punishment of the Buddha to the Matsuda family?

Seeing Matsuda Motoki, who was sitting on the ground with blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, and Matsuda Motogen, the first fierce general of the main family who had turned into a corpse, the samurai, ashigaru, and peasant soldiers of the Matsuda family, who had just been demoralized because of the killing of Goto Kikuni, suddenly had a great morale, and it can be said that there was no longer any will to resist.

In this case, the soldiers of the Miki family had already opened a big gap in the city wall, and at this time, the Imate Yushi clan and the follow-up army also began to wait for the city, and one by one the samurai of the Kuroda family quickly seized the city with their own teams, and raised their sharp butcher knives against the soldiers of the Matsuda family, who were not highly moraled. Seeing that Kuroda's family was powerful, many Matsuda soldiers who still wanted to survive lost the confidence to resist, and began to throw away their weapons and surrender on their knees.
