Chapter 139: The ambush emerges

Historically, Kuroda Kanbei asked Kuroda Nagamasa to attack the castle town, the first was to test whether his eldest son could achieve the position of Kuroda family governor in his hands, and the second was to see the strength of the new generation of Kuroda family samurai under Kuroda Nagamasa, and as a result, he also made the first major wrong decision in his life.

Kuroda Nagamasa because of the number of times he led the troops, the combat experience is not very rich, coupled with the youth, under the instigation of a group of Kuroda family young generation of samurai, led the army to the castle valley to march quickly, and ignored the reconnaissance of the surrounding situation, this is the basic common sense that even an ordinary general should know, but it was precisely ignored by Kuroda Nagamasa.

Kuroda Nagamasa led a group of young samurai of the Kuroda family, and after entering the Joi Valley, the Dama Golden Sword moved leisurely without observing the surrounding terrain, as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers all the way.

They ignored the enemy so much, the result is conceivable, they were ambushed by the castle in the castle valley, the entire army was defeated, and the Kuroda family army was killed by the castle and the sister-in-law of the castle valley.

This is the worst loss in the history of the Kuroda family, the samurai have lost several people, plus the Kuroda Kanbei was fighting outside at that time, and even the castle was in danger of being eaten by the castle town, and the degree of harm was not at all under the Kuroda family's early and tragic battle of Aoyama earthenware, such an example is very clear for Kuroda Vocational High School, who is familiar with the history of the Kuroda family.

But then again, as the defender, the strength of the Shiroi Zhenfang side is much weaker than the Kuroda family, and it has the terrain advantage like it is now, so what tactics do you use if you don't use the ambush on both sides of the road? Even a fool would make such a choice.

The tactic of ambush is not a clever tactic, as long as you can be careful in advance and pay attention to the surrounding situation along the road, it is easy to be prepared.

Kuroda Toshitaka's 1,000-strong team was tasked with advancing cautiously, finding out where the castle was ambushing, and trying to pave the way for the army in the rear and do a good job of the striker.

According to the information obtained by the Kuroda family, the Chengjing Zhenfang side has already been assembled, but the number of people they have gathered is not large, even if most of them belong to miscellaneous soldiers who do not have much combat effectiveness, the number is at most two or three thousand, as long as Kuroda Rigaka can act cautiously, it should be relatively smooth.

The reason why Kuroda Vocational High School gave Kuroda Vocational High School this task is because Kuroda Vocational High School has always been more calm, and he is more decisive in case of trouble, and he already has the appearance of being in charge, and this time it can be regarded as a kind of exercise for him, after all, he is his own brother, and he still has to take care of it.

There are several other young samurai who have come out of the training class around him, and they can also communicate with each other relatively well, and there is also the existence of Shima Takekatsu, a junior who Kuroda Vocational High School has high hopes for, and this time Kuroda Vocational High School feels that it should still be relatively smooth.

In fact, there is the existence of the castle town house and the castle court house, otherwise it is the lineup of 1,000 elite soldiers and samurai of Kuroda Ritaka, which is enough to sweep away the ordinary 2,000 wealthy families and national forces.

Kuroda Vocational High School is planning to find the ambush of the castle town house with a thousand people as long as it is carefully and slowly groped, and lure it out or destroy it, the follow-up Kuroda family troops will soon come to help, and finally destroy the enemy in the castle valley, or besiege the castle in the castle valley.

Kudao's fierce victory halted the army's advance, for he faintly noticed on the mountain road that there was a strange phenomenon on both sides, that is, the lord often mentioned that there were birds hovering above the woods, which was a very obvious sign of ambush.

And the island Mengsheng looked at both sides, the mountain roads on both sides are actually not steep, but there are two relatively slopes, but if you add the more lush trees on both sides, it is such a terrain that is easy to appear enemy ambushes, and it is not easy to arouse suspicion, this is an excellent place for ambushes.

After the Kuroda family army stopped on the road for two minutes, the ambush soldiers on the side of the castle town finally couldn't hold back, and nearly 400 people gathered from both sides of the road and rushed towards the Kuroda family's army from the front.

The army in this ambush is under the command of the nearby Hao clan Otake Yabei, who is a powerful Hao clan nearby, of course, these four hundred people are not just him, this is the strength of the three nearby Hao clans, and their task is to ambush the Kuroda family's army here.

If it is good to be able to defeat the Kuroda family's army here, if not, or if the Kuroda family is already prepared, they should actually retreat back according to the order, trying to preserve their strength as much as possible, so as to achieve a purpose similar to guerrilla warfare.

But Otake Yabei is a hot-tempered man, and if the 20,000 people of the Kuroda family come now and stay here under the leadership of Kuroda Zhigao, then he will probably retreat quickly with his army without hesitation.

However, now he is only facing the two hundred people who are victorious on the island, and he feels that with the four hundred people on his side to attack, there are not too many prepared two hundred people, which should not be too much of a problem. Even if you can't win the battle, it's a big deal to retreat immediately, so you rushed out with your men.

In the face of the enemy who was rushing towards him now, Shima Mengsheng looked very calm, holding the Kuroda family's standard katana in his hand, and just coldly watched the enemy rush towards him.

The two hundred people who originally followed him were not familiar with Shima Fierce Victory, and even if he was a person who was very valued by the lord Kuroda, they were not very interested in this young samurai.

After all, the soldier's favorite thing is to dare to lead the samurai in battle, such a samurai can bring courage, such as Itetomo, as long as it is the team he leads, it is definitely a chicken blood, and he does not want to fight with the enemy.

And Dao Mengsheng actually looks like a very weak image, they are not tall, and the muscles on his body can't be seen, so these two hundred have somewhat ignored his martial arts.

But now seeing that Shima Mengsheng is facing the enemy, that kind of calm and comfortable performance, the soldiers under his command are somewhat relieved, if their main general is so calm, then it means that this time there should not be too much of a problem, this is the Kuroda family's consistent thinking.
