Although the castle valley is named after the castle valley, it is located on an open flat bottom in the valley, and it is actually a flat castle, and if it were not for these defensive means, it would not be a fortified castle.

You must know that in the past, because of the existence of a nuclear-weapon-level figure like Joi Zhenfang, coupled with the source of Utsunomiya in Bunzen Province, and the support of many Utsunomiya descendants, the Joi family has a transcendent status in Kyushu. Even if an enemy wants to attack, you have to weigh how many samurai will be killed by the castle and town, and how many men and horses will be lost.

The castle valley is narrow and steep on both sides, and it has been an easy place to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times, and the castle family chose to build the castle here, in fact, they have pinned most of their hopes on relying on the terrain defense of the castle valley, plus the Takase Castle built in front of the valley later, in fact, the defense system of the castle valley is relatively perfect, so it ignores the defense of the castle valley itself.

After the Chengjing Town House was put on the throne, considering that because of the terrain, the Chengjing Valley Castle was only a flat city, and its own defense strength was not strong, so many defense facilities were excavated outside the city, and the Chengjing Valley Castle was operated relatively strongly. However, in fact, it is not to the extreme, if the Kuroda family's Yasui Doton comes, it will definitely make the defense of Joi Valley Castle directly rise a notch.

In fact, this is still related to the fact that Chengjing Zhenfang attaches great importance to his martial arts and some despises other people! He always felt that in this Kyushu, who would dare to provoke my Chengjing Town, didn't he see Otomo Zonglin admit it in front of him, and give his sister to himself?

He would never have imagined that outside of Kyushu, there would be a strange thing like the Kuroda family that could grow with the wind and quickly increase his strength, and it had been several years to gnaw Kyushu to his own territory, which really surprised him.

After the Kuroda family's army surrounded the castle, the first thing was to fill in the hori in front of the castle, and the castle was originally intended to command his subordinates to harass from a distance, but the Kuroda family's long-range weapon, its range far exceeded the range of the castle town's intelligence, and it stopped shooting at a distance of eighty paces, which was unexpected by the castle valley castle, and the final result was obviously the Kuroda family's perfect suppression, and the castle family's side lost more than forty long-range bows.

Thanks to the quick reaction of the Chengjing Zhenfang, and at the same time did not send the fifty elite iron gunners under his command, otherwise it would have been an attack just now, and the already small long-range team of the Chengjing family would have been wiped out.

Looking at the Kuroda family soldiers, one by one, shirtless, unscrupulously under his own castle, using the soil prepared in advance, slowly filling the hard-dug hori, he felt that his eyes were really cracked.

"Father, let me go and rush for a while!" At this time, the castle well, who was standing on the side, shouted loudly to the house.

"Taro, you...... Ay! You can also see the strength of the Kuroda family's long-range team, and now this situation is no different from seeking death. Chengjing Zhenfang said with some frustration.

Through the battlements, the castle saw the Kuroda family's long-range team below, the iron cannon glowing dark in the sunlight, and the crossbow's light hand crossbow was also silvery-white cold light. The main thing is that the number of people in this remote team is definitely in the hundreds, and if you rush up by yourself, you may really be doomed.

"Father, we are currently at an absolute disadvantage in the face of the Kuroda family, and if we want to reverse this situation, we must boost the morale of our soldiers. If we continue to allow the Kuroda family to fill in our city defense facilities, our morale will inevitably suffer a great blow. Father, I don't have much time to think about it now! Joi shouted to the room.

"Just ......"

"Father, there's nothing to think about, do we still have a chance to win against the Kuroda family? All we are guarding is our own land, but the hateful Kuroda family will never let us have it so easy to keep the land that currently belongs to our Utsunomiya family for generations.

At present, we are the only ones left in the entire Kyushu who are still rebelling against the Kuroda family. In this case, my final destination is to fight to the death with the Kuroda family, and there is no other choice!

As a samurai, I am willing to sacrifice my life for the glory of the samurai and the dignity of my Utsunomiya family from ancient times to the present. So Father, please don't hesitate any longer. ”

Chengjing Zhenfang looked at his eldest son, Chengjing Chaofang, who was nineteen years old, not only was he more burly at this time, but even the corners of his immature mouth had grown a little beard, he was really an adult!

His son's impassioned speech instantly inspired all the soldiers of the Chengjing Town, and of course also inspired the Chengjing Town, he gritted his teeth and finally made up his mind.

"Taro, the situation is urgent at this time, I won't say anything else, I'll give you three hundred centaurs, you can only rush and kill for a while, and then retreat, can you do it?"

"Hey! The subordinates must complete the tasks assigned by the master. Jojing Chaofang said firmly.

"You understand, then you can go! Be sure to come back safely. ”

When Chengjing Zhenfang said the last sentence, he didn't look like the original No. 1 general in Kyushu at all, his tone was full of love, and he was more like an old father who wanted to send his son to the battlefield, which was somewhat desolate.

After taking stock of his subordinates, he found that the original 300 people are now only more than 270 people, which means that the number of people is less than 10%, which is the loss of men and horses in the battle with the Kuroda family in the branch city, except for the loss of Sugi Shigeliang's men and horses, all the other casualties came from his team.

"Kurasuke, Inujiro, Zenemon, Ingoro......"

Joi Chaofang read the names one by one, these people were still talking and laughing next to them the day before, telling how they would do if they could defeat the Kuroda family, the atmosphere was very warm, and now their bodies are in the hands of the Kuroda family, and the heads are estimated to have been cut off, as a certificate of invitation!

The martial arts of the castle are as good as his father, but his IQ is a little lacking, but as a young man who has not yet inherited the position of the family governor, he can also understand.

However, there is one good thing about Chengjing Chaofang, that is, he has been by the side of Chengjing Zhenfang for a long time, so he is very good at imitating his father's words and deeds, and he usually learns from his father.
