The Kuroda family's main players who went out this time were 9,000 people from the country who were transferred to Tosa and Iyo provinces with the Imate Tomoshi clan (including the Hanabo Masayuki Army), 2,000 people from Awa Province, mainly from the Ando family, 3,000 people from the country who were transferred to Sanki Province with Miki Tsuaki, and 3,000 Kuroda family members sent by the Kuroda family led by Takenaka Shigeharu Inouebo, Akashi Shotobu and others, as well as 300 Tosa Kuni's naval army, a total of 17,000 soldiers, and a number of people, who falsely claimed to be 30,000 in Satsuma.

The Kuroda family's first place to land in Minamisatsuma is particularly particular about the choice. This place is a largely uninhabited bay, but it is very close to the inner city of the Shimazu family.

The Kuroda family's skills were led by Miyata Mitsuji as the general, Shigeharu Takenaka as the 3,000 elite of the military division, and the Iyo Kuni, who belonged to the Ando family, landed first, and then went straight to the inner city of the Shimazu family.

Under the cover of the navy, the 3,000 people of the Miki family rushed to land on the beach at the port outside the inner castle, and captured the port and the castle town of the Shimazu family by surprise.

And the remaining 11,000 main forces, under the leadership of Imate Tomoji, landed at the port outside the inner city later, and the 17,000-strong army instantly besieged the inner city. By the time the Shimazu family reacted, they were already besieged by the group, and they didn't even have time to gather their soldiers.

Because the Shimazu family had just defeated the Ito family and occupied a small part of the southern Hyuga country, the Kisakiwara War, which had not almost destroyed the Ito family, had not yet happened, and there were many loyal servants of the Ito family in the Hyuga country, and people who were dissatisfied with the Shimazu family, so most of the soldiers of the Shimazu family were in the south of the Hyuga country and the Ito family, if nothing else, the Kisakihara battle would happen soon.

On the contrary, the Satsuma country is relatively empty, and there are now less than 300 soldiers in the inner city, and the retainers and subordinates of the various Shimazu families add up to only 100 people, and there are dozens of relatives.

If it weren't for the guards of the castle who immediately closed the Otemen Gate, they were almost attacked by the Kuroda family in the first place.

It's just that after knowing the news of the arrival of the Kuroda family's army, Shimazu Yoshihiro, the second brother of Shimazu Yoshihisa, the governor of the Shimazu family who stayed behind, immediately convened everyone in the city to discuss the matter. Yoshihiro Shimazu is the second son of the previous governor, Takahisa Shimazu.

After the death of Shimazu Takahisa, the eldest son Shimazu Yoshihisa naturally became the governor of the Shimazu family, under his planning, with the assistance of the other three brothers, the four brothers of the Shimazu family are still united, and after conquering half of the Hyuga country, they have basically taken a big step closer to their father's goal of achieving the historical skills of the Shimazu family (Satsuma, Hinata, Osumi).

It's not that the Shimazu family doesn't want to take Osumi first, it's just that the current Liver Fu family dominates Osumi, and there is a branch of the Shimazu family next to it, and it is also the inner city of the current so-called Shimazu family, the enemy of the Shimazu family, and the support of the Ryoshigami family, a powerful wealthy family in the Northern Satsuma country.

With the current strength of the Shimazu family, if it weren't for marrying them, some would have to pray that the liver Fu family wouldn't attack them.

At this time, the important ministers of the Shimazu family sitting on both sides were Shimazu Yoshitora, Ijiin Tadado, Kayama Tadasuke, Tayama Hisano and others, all of whom were Shimazu family ministers who stayed in the inner city, and most of the others followed Shimazu Yoshihisa to Hyuga Province.

"You have just received the news that our family has been besieged by 17,000 or 8,000 people from the Kuroda family." Yoshihiro Shimazu said loudly to everyone.

"Seventeen thousand." Tayama Hisashi said in surprise.

"This army has been decided, and they are divided into five armies, and they have surrounded the four sides of the city." Yoshihiro Shimazu said affirmatively.

"How does the lord know that it's the Kuroda family?" Tadasuke Kayama asked.

"There are their flags."

"The main family and the Kuroda family have never had anything to do with each other, why did the Kuroda family attack us?" Ijiin Tadato asked.

"Because in the military formation of the Kuroda family, I also saw the banner of the Shimazu family."

"What? The flag of the family, how is this possible? Yamada asked Hisashino, and everyone was very surprised.

"It's Tadashi Shimazu." Ijiin Tadato said.

"Hmmm! You shouldn't be wrong. Yoshihiro Shimazu said affirmatively.

"I knew that I should have killed him directly, but in the end, I still left a disaster." Tadasuke Kayama said.

"Well, guys, there's no point in arguing about that now. At present, it seems that Shimazu Tadashi has taken refuge in the Kuroda family, hoping to help him restore his status as the head of the Shimazu family through the strength of the Kuroda family.

The Kuroda family has always been insatiable, and there are a large number of samurai and ronin who also lack the spirit of bushido, otherwise they would not have developed so rapidly in more than ten years. Since the Kuroda family is here, their goal should not be small, and the Satsuma country of the main family should only be their first target, and they probably want the whole of Minami Kyushu, or even the whole of Kyushu.

The Kuroda family is currently besieging the city with 17,000 troops, and the situation is already very tense, how do you think we should defend against the Kuroda family's attack in the current situation. Please speak freely, and never leave anything private, or we will probably all be here. ”

"Yoshihiro-sama, I think that the Kuroda family should have come from Shikoku and come here, and this is the most likely route. In other words, the source of the Kuroda family's battle this time is Shikoku, which is far away from the Kuroda family's skills.

As we all know, the Kuroda family's agriculture is very developed, and for a few years, the Kuroda family has not had any conquests, and has been cultivating in Taoguang and working hard to develop the territory, and its food supply should not be a problem, so it dares to attack now. ”

"However, it should be noted that the Kuroda family's main grain producing area should be its Harima Province and several nearby reido countries, and Shikoku is its new land, and it is definitely not the main grain producing area of the Kuroda family. Since the number of the Kuroda family's army that came to attack the family reached 18,000, the logistical pressure of such an army was very great, and the consumption of grain and grass in one day was bound to be amazing. It is true that these soldiers may be supplied by Shikoku, but after feeding so many soldiers, it should be difficult for Shikoku to supply the food supply of my Satsuma country this time! ”

At this time, Ijiin Tadadong's words were interrupted by Shimazu Yoshito, and Shimazu Yoshitora obviously said anxiously: "Ijiin-sama, you said so much, what do you want to say?" ”

"I just want to say that if you need to get the necessary supplies from the Kuroda family's skills, this Kuroda family's army will definitely have problems with the supply of food."
