Chapter 133: Hold on to Fukuyama Castle
At the same time, the Tongxin people completely let go of their control over the Misaku country, and deliberately revealed the news to the Maori family's fine work in the Misasaka country through the Maori family's merchants, and then transmitted this important information back to the Anyu country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info made the Maori family think that the Kuroda family's army was still on their way to Izumo Province, but in fact, the two thousand elites of the Kuroda family had already arrived at Mikawayama Castle.
Just after the Maori family got the news, the Kuroda family immediately blocked the news network of Misasakaku. And the 4,000 army of the Kuroda family, when they were about to enter the territory of the Niko family, turned directly and headed towards the border of Bigo Province.
After Shigeharu Takenaka's army of 4,000 men, he did not join the army of the Ite-tomo clan, but found a hidden place to stay. The ultimate goal of Shigeharu Takenaka, and the possible actions after that, are all lost, and can only be seen later.
At this time, the Iate Tomoshi had already led 5,000 Chinese who had been carefully trained by him, 2,000 temporary soldiers under the direct command of the Kuroda family, and 3,000 people from Tanba Province, who had just arrived, for a total of more than 10,000 people to enter Bigo Province.
These temporary soldiers and the dispatch team of Tanba Province, under the urging of the samurai, hurried almost day and night, and finally came to Beichu before the Imate Tomoji went out into battle, and joined his army to face the invasion of the Maori family.
After that, the army of the Imate Tomoji clan gathered 2,000 people of Hanabo Masayuki in Bigo Province, and set up a headquarters at Fukuyama Castle in Bigo Province, waiting for the arrival of the Mori family's army.
And this time, the Kuroda family's military presence in Bigo Province almost once again gave up a large area of land that had been in business for a long time, knowing that the Mori family was coming, and all of them gathered in Fukuyama Castle.
Because of the influence of Kuroda's high office, the Kuroda family has always paid attention to the gains and losses of one city and one place, and they have paid attention to the preservation of living forces and how to resist or defeat the enemy's attack more efficiently.
For the three counties including Anna County that were abandoned, Soji Shimizu, Araki Murashige, Takeuchi Hisakatsu and others would not worry about anything. Although these places, after years of management by the Kuroda family, are already richer than before, the Kuroda family is not worried about what the Maori family will do with these lands.
When Kobayakawa Takakei attacked before, the Kuroda family had given up strategically once, and in the end it turned out that the Mori family would not go back and destroy the fields. After all, these lands were originally owned by the Maori family, and they were reluctant to do such a thing as burning them. If the Kuroda family can be defeated, these will be the fruits of their victory. If you can't defeat the Kuroda family, the Maori family will also be able to spit it out again, after all, you still can't bear to do it!
The army of the Mori family's Sanyo Province had just arrived at the border of Azuki and Bigo when the Iate Tomoto clan was already in battle at Fukuyama Castle, under the leadership of Mori Terumoto.
After joining forces with Kobayakawa Takakei's forces, the number of the Mori family reached more than 18,000. Just now, the number of troops invested by the Mori family and the Kuroda family in Bigo Province has reached 30,000. Such a large number of people is extremely rare in the land of the West and in the entire history of the Wa Kingdom.
It's just that the Kuroda family and the Maori family are both behemoths in the western country, and they both want to gain the right to rule the western country by defeating each other, so they can piece together to appear in such a grand occasion. If you change to the previous Akamatsu, Yamana, Urakami and the like, 10,000 people may be the limit.
It's just that the Maori family thinks that the current Kuroda family is still in Bigo Province, and as they got the information, only 7,000 people came. This was an almost fatal mistake, in fact, the Kuroda family had already come with 17,000 people, and even if it was a head-on confrontation, they would definitely not lose to the Maori family. What's more, with the Kuroda family's combat effectiveness, it is stronger than the Maori family, and there is absolutely no reason to lose.
If the Kuroda family is really 7,000 people, under the impact of more than twice the number of people, as well as the wisdom of Mori Motosashi and Kobayakawa Takakei, Kumagai Nobunao, Amano Jun, Fukuhara Sadashi, Kodama Tasutada and other brave people, the Kuroda family is really likely to lose.
Mori Yuan miscalculated the number of Kuroda families, especially in their information, all the Kuroda family's people in Mimasaka Province have gone to Izumo Country. It seems that the Kuroda family has fallen into their own plots, and in the eyes of Mori Yuan, the Kuroda family without Kuroda Vocational High School is nothing more than that.
However, the fact cannot be equated with YY, and the gap between 7,000 and 17,000 is also extremely huge, and this point is actually likely to have decided the direction of this joint battle. And don't forget, at this time in Shikoku, there is also Kirin Kuroda Vocational High School, who is almost about to complete the unification of Shikoku, and he is also planning all the time about the Maori family and how to kill and cripple it.
Because the number of Maori families was already there, Maori Yuan was now full of confidence, as if he had returned to the time when he was in his teens or twenties and was heroic, so the Maori family felt that the victory was in hand, and they felt that as long as they were careful, they could not be greedy for merit, so they were not in a hurry to march.
Slowly, the army of the Maori family came to the plain opposite Fukuyama Castle. The so-called number of tens of thousands, all over the mountains, 18,000 people lined up outside Fukuyama Castle, it looks endless.
"My lord, it seems that the Kuroda family has thousands of people here in Fukuyama Castle?" A samurai from a Maori family came to pray.
"Thousands? Didn't the Kuroda family's brigade go to San'in? Maori Huiyuan looked at Maori Yuan on the side in surprise.
"It doesn't matter, the Kuroda family is only so many, and now it's a matter of taking care of one or the other, even if the Kuroda family is here with its famous general, the Itetomo clan, even if they can defend here, the Kuroda family's people in San'in to the north will inevitably be difficult to maintain.
The Kuroda family's intelligence ability is amazing, and the main family is out of battle this time, and the troops are divided into two ways, and it is normal for the Kuroda family to know, so there is nothing to be surprised about. As long as the two armies break through, they will be considered successful. Either way to victory, we have achieved the goal of striking the east and the west. Mao Liyuan said.
"I see! Grandfather, I understand, or I don't have enough experience. Mori Terumoto said.
"Hmmm! I'm already a rare man now, and in the near future, you're really going to be in charge of the Maori family, so be calm, although you've done a good job now, but if you want to carry the Maori family, you still need to continue to grow. ”
"Hey! Grandfather, I understand. ”
