The addition of the new force of the Narazaki army was like the last straw that crushed life, and Uemiyahara Castle finally collapsed, and most of the peasant soldiers began to run wildly, all running towards the outside of the city, shouting for mercy as they ran.

The new force of the Narasaki army, which had just joined the battlefield, was eager to make meritorious contributions, and where to take care of the enemy's forgiveness, every enemy's head was a battle achievement.
In the troubled times of the Warring States period, there was no woman's kindness, and most of the people who could survive for a long time were able to treat their lives as if they were a mustard, and they were often able to be ruthless to the enemy.
Whether it is an enemy who resists with a sword or a captive who has begged for mercy and surrendered, as long as you get their heads, you can get food and money after the battle, and even get the honor of a samurai.
The Narazaki army rushed into Kamiyahara Castle, which had no resistance, like a tiger, and the sharp swords, guns, and halberds pierced into the body of anyone who was not a companion like a straw, and continuous screams came from all over Kamiyahara Castle.
Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and seven of his close retainers stood in front of a bottomless hole that had already been opened with wooden planks, and the thick planks had long since disappeared.
This secret passage was built by Miyahara Tanba Mamoru's grandfather, it was the most chaotic time in Beizhong, the heroes rose together, and the Bizhong Shou Qiuting clan was powerless to resist, so he let a few trusted retainers, spend more than a month, secretly let people dig a tunnel in the granary of Kamiyahara Castle, all the way to the outside of the walled city.
At that time, the idea was very good, I was afraid that once the city was not protected, the foreign enemy would conquer the cottage and kill his whole family, so he left a back road for himself, and when the time came, he took advantage of the chaos and crawled out of this tunnel to escape.
Later, although Uemiyahara Castle suffered several military disasters, none of them were captured, and the secret passage was not used, and those close retainers also died of illness under a cup of poisoned wine by Miyahara Tanba.
The matter of the secret passage has become a secret that has been passed down from generation to generation to know the head of the family, and this generation does not even know the son of Miyahara Tanba Mamoru who committed the crime.
Miyahara Tanba looked at the secret passage that was also the first time he came to see, sighed in his heart, turned back to a retainer and asked, "Is the black oil ready?" ”
The retainer nodded and replied, "It's all dumped in the city, and it can be burned as long as the fire starts, but it's just ......."
Miyahara Tanba Mamoru didn't wait for his reply, and said ruthlessly: "Burn it!" ”
Narazaki Toyokei's son-in-law, Narazaki Harukei, led the squadron to rush to the door of the hall in the village, took a deep breath, and a smell mixed with mud, blood, and an unknown stench suddenly entered his nose, yes, it was a strong smell of blood, and the unknown stench.
Narazaki Harukei is also considered to have been on the battlefield for a long time, and has participated in various battles convened by the Izumo Niko family, and this is the first time he has smelled such a foul smell, looking at the ground, some viscous liquid flows all over the hall, and with the flow of liquid, a lone wooden barrel appears in the corner of the hall.
Strange, what is this, he is in a high position, he has never known the black oil that only the untouched people at the bottom will use. He doesn't know him, someone just does.
A samurai who was following him also smelled the foul smell coming from the air and shouted, "This is black oil, this is black oil, everyone get out of here!" ”
Ignoring the fact that their faces were becoming more and more ugly, they took the lead in running towards the outside of the city, and by the time everyone reacted, it was already late.
The fire pond in the hall met the black oil flowing through, and the oil met the fire, and in an instant, the entire hall was lit up, and then the entire Upper Miyahara Castle.
The smell of foul smell wafted throughout the cottage, and more than 400 people rushed in with interest, and the Narazaki Army, who was rushing in, looked at the flames burning from the Aishang novel network around him, and shouted loudly, "Run!" Run! The sound began to run wildly out of the city.
Narazaki Harujing saw that the hall instantly turned into a sea of fire, his eyebrows and hair were all burned out, and a scorching smell came from his face, regardless of the pain of the blisters on his face, he immediately ran towards the gate of the village, shouting as he ran: "Go!" Hurry up and get out of this hellish place! Mother, don't get in the way, go to death......"
In a hurry, he held a sharp sword, and with a wave of his hand, he stabbed a samurai who was blocking in front of him, and the samurai turned his head in shock to look at Haruki Narazaki with a fierce face, and his body suddenly softened, and he screamed again in a heart-rending voice.
Both the armor on the samurai and the footgear wrapped around the ashigaru were made of wooden planks and bamboo chips, of which the so-called armor was at most made of a heart-protecting iron plate at an important position on the chest, and the rest of the place was made of wooden planks and bamboo chips, and then painted to strengthen it, whether good or bad, it could not prevent fire.
The ground was full of black oil, and it was a bouncing spark, scurrying around, and the city was built with wood and bamboo poles, and soon the Aishang novel net was burned, forming a large sea of fire.
Immediately a huge sea of fire formed on the whole mountain, and the trees on the mountain also burned up, and the soldiers who were left behind could not escape, running in the sea of fire, unable to survive or die, filled with miserable wails and roars.
Toyoshi Narazaki was dumbfounded, the anger in his eyes made it clear to anyone present, and the scorching waves of qi scorched his face and muscles.
He suddenly showed his timid and shocked subordinates around him, and the beast-like light suddenly gushed out from his eyes, and he roared viciously: "All of them, the rear team immediately launched an attack on Shimomiyahara City, Kecheng chickens and dogs were not left, and the rest of the people organized people to treat the wounded." ”
"Yes!" All the soldiers shouted in unison.
Taking advantage of the scorching fire, Miyahara Tanba Mamoru and others quietly crawled out of the secret passage and silently dived out of the city.
In a ditch outside the castle of Shangmiyahara, a human head poked out and looked outside, and found that there was no enemy nearby, so he beckoned, and more than a dozen samurai came out, one of whom said to a middle-aged man with a haggard face who was forty or fifty years old: "Your Highness, where are you going now?" Whether to go to Shimomiyahara Castle for help. ”
This haggard middle-aged man was Miyahara Masashige who escaped from Kamiyahara Castle, and looked at the burning Kamiyahara Castle with a sad smile, and replied: "Kamiyahara Castle is destroyed, will Narazaki Toyokyo still let go of Shimomiyahara Castle?" ”
The samurai who asked also smiled bitterly when he heard this, yes, even Upper Miyahara Castle was breached, could it be that the nearby Shimonomiyahara Castle would be spared, and he thought of something and said: "Your Highness, let's go to Zhongshan Castle, I heard that His Royal Highness Date Masahiro, the new lord of the Date clan, is a powerful samurai, and when he defeated Zhongshan Fan in one fell swoop with a force of less than fifty people, he also conquered Zhongshan Castle, His Royal Highness has a good relationship with Date Soheng, and it should help you recapture Miyahara Castle, Your Highness go quickly." ”
Miyahara Masashige's eyes lit up, nodded and said: "Now it's only like this, I think that Narazaki Toyokei will definitely not just fight us this time, it should be to fight with Date Masahiro to decide the hegemony of the Karamatsu region, maybe there is still a chance to follow him, go." ”
Although Miyahara Masahiro's ability is not very strong, he is also a very decisive character, otherwise he would not have set fire to the grain and the city and escaped from the mountain in a situation where it was inviolable, and once he decided to do something, he would immediately do it, and led his subordinates towards Zhongshan City.
……
Shimomiyahara Castle soon fell, and the castle lord Miyahara Shichiro immediately surrendered at the moment of the fall, but his idea was very good, and the result was tragic, and they quickly realized that there were some troops in the matter, because the surrounding Naragasaki soldiers did not pick up weapons at all, and showed their sharp weapons.
Toyokei Narazaki bared his teeth and shouted, "Slaughter clean." ”
The unarmed and powerless captives were quickly slaughtered, and the blood of Shimomiyahara Castle flowed profusely, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in Narazaki's eyes.
The Narazaki army, which had conquered Upper and Lower Miyahara Castle, was no longer able to fight, and a fire suffered heavy casualties, and Narazaki Toyokei ordered his men to clean up the mess and want to go in and have a good rest.
As soon as he walked into the hall of Shimomiyahara Castle with his left foot, a chaotic wave sent back an urgent report, almost causing him to faint from his mouth with blood in his mouth: "My lord, the Date Army has gone to Ben Kite's Nest Mountain City at noon. ”
