The Niko family's first siege of Xinzhuang Castle was not successful, but the Niko family actually did not lose. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After half an hour of hard fighting, the Nizi family itself lost more than 110 people, while the defenders were killed about 40 or 50 people, basically the result of two lives for one life. If the Kuroda family had such a performance, it would not be strange at all, and it could even be said that they did not play well, but for the miscellaneous army of the Niko family, it was actually very proud, and it could even be said to be a miracle.

But this time, the Nizi family almost broke through the attempt of Xinzhuang City with only more than 400 people, which made the Nizi family's wealthy coalition army suddenly have morale. You must know that although the wealthy people may not get any benefits in the land, if they attack the city in one fell swoop, they can plunder it at will! No matter how thin the mosquito legs are, it is also meat, which is considered a lot of wealth, so for this, the wealthy people also hope to continue the attack.

So within two days, the wealthy coalition army of the Nizi family attacked Xinzhuang City six times in a row, and finally captured Xinzhuang City at the cost of more than 300 people.

The defenders of the city and the local troops who came to help were all slaughtered by the powerful forces of the Nizi family who entered the city.

After the wealthy entered the city, they carried out a whole day of ** plundering in Xinzhuang City, which was also the behavior of Ushio Kokiyo acquiescing. But the atrocities of these people, in the eyes of Yamanaka Yusheng, were an unacceptable result, and he even had an urge to go up and kill people. But after seeing his appearance, in the end, it was Kokiyo Ushio who stopped him. And reluctantly told Yamanaka Yumori that there was no way to do it, after all, if you want the horse to run, you have to give it grass, and the Niko family is unwilling to pay for it, so they can only let them get what they want.

After this day's time, the wealthy family of the Nizi family is temporarily satisfied. In addition, the Nizi family also obtained more than 300 captives in Xinzhuang City, and these people were organized into a separate team, which will later be used as cannon fodder for the Nizi family's death squad.

After the Nizi family captured Xinzhuang City, the entire Majima County was really exposed to the Nizi family this time. The wealthy families of Zhendao County, who sent troops to Xinzhuang City to help the Jinshan family, were really dumbfounded this time. Hasn't the Niko family always been weak? I didn't expect that Xinzhuang City, which has more than 700 soldiers, was really attacked by the Nizi family who were like belly fish and weak chickens, and now they themselves lost a lot of people in Xinzhuang City, so they need to think about how to deal with themselves next.

So later, when the Niko family arrived, especially after the Kuriya family, Fujimist, and Shimoda three small wealthy families were finally wiped out by the Niko family because of resistance, the surrounding Shangfeng, Ohara, Yutian and other wealthy families successively surrendered to the Niko family, and the Otsuki family, who had participated in the defense of Shinzhuang Castle before, was besieged by the Niko family. After two days of fierce fighting, after losing more than 170 people, the Nizi family captured the home city of the Otsuki family, Otsuki City, and at the same time made the Otsuki family extinct, and the name of the family was decided. Once again, the wealth and population of the city became the spoils of war for the Nizi.

After that, the Niko family fought several more battles at Takehara Castle, Hanegawa Castle, and Taguchi Castle, and finally captured the castle with a strong bow. But Yamanaka Yukimori was not happy, because he found that there were fewer and fewer archers, and he knew that every time he shot at his opponent, his side would also lose. And the further back you go, the fewer people on your side, the greater the losses from one battle. Now, including the samurai, the number of archers has been sharply reduced from more than 230 to more than 150. Although there is still an advantage in numbers, how long it can be maintained is really a question.

And it didn't take long for this problem to be exposed, and it became apparent during the attack on Takayayama Castle in the middle of Majima County.

Takayayama Castle, as the name suggests, is a mountain castle built on a hill that has been recuperating for hundreds of years and has been standing still, relying on their own bows and arrows. Relying on their terrain, the Takaya family likes to use archers to fight in cage cities, which is their family tradition, and through this tradition, they can survive the crises one after another. Now when the 3,500 army of the Nizi family arrived, the Gao Ya family once again chose to defend the cage city that they were good at.

This time, the Nizi family suffered a big loss when they used the archers to attack again, they were still a high-ranking family, just like the previous wealthy family, after suppressing the long-range, it would be good to desperately attack the city. As a result, the range of the bow and arrow can be effectively increased by virtue of the mountain, and the bow and arrow of the Takaya family is an improved Maruki bow after many years of use, although it is not as powerful as the Fujiki bow, and the range has been increased to seventy steps, plus the height bonus, the effective range of the Takaya bow is actually one hundred steps.

And in addition to the power of bows and arrows, the more than ninety warriors of the Gaoya family all use bows and arrows, and the quasi-heads seem to be good, so in terms of the number of archers, they are actually not much worse than the Nizi family.

When the wealthy archers of the Nizi family were only halfway through, they didn't expect Cheng Shang to start archery, and they really didn't take it seriously at first, shooting arrows in a hundred steps, are the Gaoya family all fools? It wasn't until the first wave of arrows rained down that seven or eight of the Nizi archers fell that they knew something was wrong.

The people of the Nizi family's archery team immediately quickened their pace and rushed forward quickly, but more than a dozen people were shot down along the way. As they came into range to shoot, ten more people fell. At this moment, the number of archers of the Nizi family was almost smoothed out.

What the Nizi family didn't notice was that at the head of the high house city, there were some large boards erected to protect their archers, which was a good thing, but the Nizi family's shooting did not hit the people of the high house family, but lost a lot of people in the subsequent shooting.

At this time, Ushio Kokiyo, who saw the situation, couldn't sit still, and immediately ordered the archers to retreat, and then replaced it with a direct attack on the city by the Hao Clan's coalition army, and after paying the price of nearly one hundred and thirty people, he captured Takaya Castle, and the strong bow tactics that were relatively easy to use before the Nizi family were now unusable after the archery team was disabled.

Although Takaya Castle was captured, the strong bow tactic was scrapped, and the battle after the Nizi family could basically only be attacked head-on. (To be continued.) )
