Chapter 55 The Bow Cuts the City Granary
"Is the Kuroda family already here? I really can't imagine that they came so quickly, no wonder the Kuroda family has developed so rapidly in recent years! Standing on the city wall, the guard general Kakunan Shigeyoshi looked at the more than 3,000 troops of the Kuroda family under the city, and said helplessly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Brother, are we really going to be enemies of the Kuroda family for the sake of the Miura family? Brother, you must know that all the family members are in this city, and it is said that the Kuroda family will accept the surrendered wealthy family, which has been verified, but if you resolutely resist, all the Kuroda family will be cut down and eradicated! If that's the case, brother, I'm worried about ......," Kakunan Shigeyoshi's younger brother Kakunan Toyuyuki said at this time.
Kakunan Shigeyoshi turned his head, looked at his younger brother, resolutely interrupted his words, looked in the direction of the Kuroda family, and said resolutely: "Jiro, you don't need to worry, Ma Leather Shroud, this is the consciousness that I should have as a person of the martial arts!" And as a samurai, the most basic loyalty must never be forgotten. The Miura family is as kind to my Jiaonan family as a mountain, and I will never betray my lord. Will Jiro be able to accept my idea? ”
"The elder brother's meaning has already been understood. In that case, let's gamble on everything in my Kakunan family and have a happy battle with the Kuroda family! Jiaonan Youxing nodded and said loudly.
"Hmmm! That's right, this is the courage that Erlang of my Jiaonan family should have. Kakunan Shigeyoshi said with a smile.
"Hey!" Jiaonan Yuxing nodded and said.
In the middle of the night, because it had just rained in the mountains and the weather was hot during the day, the clouds in the sky were very heavy. Bow Cutting City was completely shrouded in night after nightfall. In addition, today's moon is not very bright, so from time to time there will be cases where you can't see things.
In the early summer, it was already a little hot, and the two defenders were stationed in the rear of the Bow Cutting City. It was only because of the weather that they all took off their linen clothes and stood there bare-chested, their weapons casually set aside.
"It's really hot, it's changing! It was cool two days ago! One of the defenders said as he fanned himself in his patched linen coat.
"The weather is indeed very hot, but I think it's nothing, the Kuroda family's army is outside the city, this is really fatal!" The other ashigaru was a little older, so he sat directly on the ground, also fanned the wind with his sackcloth, and shook his head in reply.
"That's true! Listening to the brothers in front of me, the Kuroda family came with more than 3,000 people this time, and although they didn't attack directly after coming today, it should be a matter of time before they attacked us! It is estimated that this time, even if there is the fierce general of the family, Kakunan-sama, it will be difficult to resist the Kuroda family! ”
"Don't tell anyone about it! I've also heard from others, and it's said that I just got the news that even the Takeuchi family has surrendered to the Kuroda family. The elder Ashigaru said.
"What? Are you saying that the Takeuchi family in Ichinose Castle has already surrendered to the Kuroda family? OMG! With the addition of those crazy people, wouldn't the Kuroda family be even more difficult to defeat, this is really too desperate! ”
"Hey! Who let us be lost by the lord to Lord Kakunan-sama! Otherwise, we estimate that we can live a few more days in Katsuyama Castle. ”
"That's it! We can only say that we are out of luck! ”
Just when the two of them didn't have a word of small talk, suddenly two black shadows appeared behind the two, and when they noticed the black shadows behind each other, it was too late.
The two defenders of the Miura family who stayed here really died here as they themselves said, and they couldn't set foot on the way home, but who made them the soldiers of the Miura family! I can only blame them for their bad fate, born in this troubled world of cannibalism!
The leader of the Kuroda family, Nakashinobu Kaneko Taro, who took the lead, left three people to stand guard, and after cleaning up the scene, according to the original plan, he took the remaining four squads of twelve people and disappeared into the night of the Bow Cutting City, and the people in the Bow Cutting City at this time didn't know what was happening, except for the defenders at the city gate, most of the people were asleep, but some people were dreaming and some were nightmares.
The granary in the bow cut castle is located in the westernmost part of the city, as Kuroda Vocational High School secretly summoned the head of the Uemura family to say, and as the head of the Uemura family said, there is a slightly smaller secret granary near the back door, it seems that the Kakunan family is also preventing the Kuroda family from coming to make trouble, but in the end his method still did not escape the eyes and ears of the Kuroda family.
Because of the secret location of the small granary, there are basically no more than five people in the city who know this location, and the head of the Uemura family also knew about this place by chance when he came to Yuge Castle to meet Miura Sadakatsu. It is precisely because of the secrecy that Kakunan Shigeyoshi also relieved himself to hand over this place to an old ashigaru to take care of, and on the surface made an illusion that there are no important materials here, but in fact, there are five or six hundred stone of grain and grass that the Kakunan family has recently accumulated here.
Lao Zuqing has a good life, although every ton of food is old grain and some wild vegetable soup, but he and his family can eat enough, so he is very satisfied, and he is also very grateful to Jiaonan Shigeyi for giving him this position.
As in the past, he was not asleep, but half-asleep, ready to deal with unexpected situations, the lord said, as long as there is a change, shout, he always remembered the lord's commands.
At that moment, a cloud seemed to obscure the moon, completely obscuring the only moonlight that shone through the narrow window. At the same time that the moonlight was obscured, the old ashigaru seemed to hear Sissy's chattering voice, and he was very alert, and immediately picked up the spear he had placed beside him, and sat up, and he was ready to shout at this time, and then he was ready to die with the enemy.
"Squeak Squeak...... turned out to be a nasty rat, disturbing people's dreams, which is really hateful. He thought to himself, so he put down the spear in his hand and got ready to go to bed again.
But the moment he fell asleep, a kunai slashed through his throat, bringing up a trace of blood, and he wanted to scream, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only hear his own small roar, and because of the exertion, his throat was spurting blood, and soon he grabbed his neck with his hand and fell on his own bed (that is, the bed on the ground). (To be continued.) )
