Chapter 42 Yoshihiro Shimazu who bets on martial arts
Ikeda succeeded in convincing his indifferent relatives through his sharp teeth and his own concerns about the family's future after the Shimazu family was conquered. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
But in fact, these people also know the current situation, it seems that the Shimazu family is about to be destroyed, and now if they can be praised by the Kuroda family for opening the door of Honmaru, this is a more cost-effective action for the Ikeda family, so these people will agree with Ikeda's statement.
Because Ikeda Sadahide was Shimazu Yoshihiro's henchman, and he did convey some of Shimazu's orders, he transferred the guards at the gate in the name of Shimazu Yoshihiro when he patrolled at night, and replaced them all with his own people.
After making sure that there were no other guards around, Ikeda Sadahide personally opened the gates of the inner castle Honmaru with his relatives and began their campaign to surrender to the enemy.
Because at this time, most of the Kuroda family's soldiers had already fallen asleep, and only a small number of night vigil soldiers were still guarding outside the gate, so the Kuroda family's side seemed quiet, and it could be said that they had no idea that Ikeda Sadahide had opened the gate.
In order to attract the attention of the Kuroda family, Ikeda Sadahide stepped out of the door and shouted in a low voice, thus successfully attracting the attention of the Kuroda family.
The soldiers of the Kuroda family's night vigil immediately discovered the situation, and it seemed that the direction from which the shout came, that is, the main gate of the inner city, turned out to be a black hole at this time, and as a more senior military officer, as long as he was not a fool, he could deduce that the door of Honmaru had been opened.
At the beginning, the soldiers of the Kuroda family thought that this was a conspiracy of the Shimazu family, after all, the current Shimazu family's guardian power in the inner city is basically weak, and if you want to expect a miracle, you must use some intrigues. And this kind of thing is very familiar to the Kuroda family, because the head of the Kuroda family, Kuroda Vocational High School, is an outstanding talent in this area.
It wasn't until some of the soldiers had the audacity to go to the gate to check on it, and after a friendly exchange with Ikeda Sadahide, they were sure that there was no problem and entered the Honmaru. Only then did it become clear that it was someone under the command of the Shimazu family who didn't want to accompany him to death, so he opened the door to Honmaru as Neiying.
The first to discover Takeuchi Hisakatsu's team, he immediately took two hundred men to occupy the entire gate, and when he took over the defense of the gate, he immediately sent someone to tell the news to his boss Hanafang Masayuki.
Although Hanafang Masayuki is a very cautious samurai, he also knows that the opportunity cannot be lost now, and the truth will not come again. So after continuing to test for a while, I finally determined that there was no problem with Honmaru, and it was indeed Neiying who opened the door.
The Kuroda family immediately rushed in with five or six hundred people. When they entered Honmaru very suddenly, so the Shimazu family was not prepared for a sudden attack, and many of the Shimazu family's soldiers died inexplicably, and they didn't know how the Kuroda family's soldiers broke through the door of Honmaru in silence.
Yoshihiro Shimazu is not a man who likes to sit and wait for death, on the contrary, he is a very adventurous young man, otherwise he would not have gotten where he is now.
He knew that he might not be able to escape this time, so Shimazu Yoshihiro chose to give up the seppuku that most samurai would perform, and instead rushed out of Honmaru's palace with more than 30 of his soldiers, preparing to fight to the death with the siege team of the Kuroda family.
Just as Shimazu Yoshihiro rushed out of Honmaru, the wounded soldiers who had been treated in the northern part of Honmaru appeared in front of him, and the appearance of the disabled one by one, as well as their resolute eyes, was the best way for them to improve the morale of their side.
It was a wounded soldier who had been injured before by the Shimazu family, and some of them were like the wounded soldiers who had been educated by Shimazu Yoshihiro before, and he also instructed that he had some injuries on his hands, and he was able to move normally.
The most exaggerated thing is that there is a wounded soldier in the middle, and at a glance it is clear that he has a very serious injury to his leg, and there is a scar on his thigh that extends from the thigh to the knee. It was obvious that he was having a great time walking, as he was standing, but he had to land with his spear and pestle in both hands.
When Shimazu Yoshihiro looked at these dozen people, to be honest, his heart was indeed very turbulent, and he was very excited that these people who are standing here now can be by his side in the last moments of the inner city, and they are willing to die for the Shimazu family.
"Everyone, I won't say anything else, please bet on your own martial arts and kill with me." Yoshihiro Shimazu pulled out his katana and shouted.
"Hey!" Everyone behind him grabbed their weapons and rushed with him towards the Kuroda family opposite.
The Kuroda family had already rushed in five or six hundred people, although they were caught off guard by the courageous Shimazu Yoshihiro when they were the first to take the spot.
However, after reorganizing the attack, the Kuroda family, which had the advantage in every aspect, including morale, immediately forced them back and began to squeeze their space for manoeuvre.
The one who fought with Shimazu Yoshihiro was Takeuchi Hisakatsu, he is now a quasi-swordsman with intermediate strength, and relatively speaking, Shimazu Yoshihiro relied on his own courage to fight, with his level of not even being a quasi-swordsman's strength, he was not Takeuchi Hisakat's opponent at all.
Takeuchi Hisakatsu was the first Kuroda family samurai to enter the inner city, plus his strength was outstanding, and he won a lot along the way, and no one could stop him, so he was able to come to the vicinity of the palace at the fastest speed at this time, and luckily met Shimazu Yoshihiro, a big fish, and he himself felt that he was lucky.
Because he knew that he was not the opponent of the samurai of the Kuroda family opposite, Shimazu Yoshihiro used a life-for-life style of play, and only in this way could he win the battle, which was just one more possibility.
Takeuchi also adapted to the first two moves, because he didn't have a big man like Shimazu Yoshihiro at all, and would use such a lose-lose move. It was precisely because he didn't expect it, so at the beginning, Takeuchi Hisakatsu was even a little caught off guard.
But who is Hisakatsu Takeuchi? The third son of the sword master Takeuchi Hisamori, the fierce general of the Kuroda family who has the mid-term strength of the quasi-sword hero, is only temporary, and in terms of strength, he is more than a star and a half higher than Shimazu Yoshihiro.
