The Battle of the Hiseki Valley between the Kuroda family and the Miyoshi family, which brought together more than 30,000 people on both sides, was not only the only major war in Shikoku's history, but also a rare battle in the entire western country. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

But it is this occasion battle, the scene is grand at the beginning, the battle is decent, and the end can only be called a mess.

The Battle of Sekiya was faithfully recorded by the Kuroda family's military officials, and it is this detailed account of the battle that has become an important document for later generations to study this battle. Coupled with the descriptions of this battle by the Kuroda family, the Kagawa family, the Miyoshi Masaysu family and other families, the Battle of Sekiya is almost completely displayed in front of the world.

Later historians, as well as military scientists, have a high opinion of the Battle of Sekigu. Regardless of the use of firearms in this battle, he killed Kanesaka Shichijo. Or through the joint efforts of Miyoshi Masaysu and Kagawa no Kagawa, the killing of Miyoshi Nagaji was planned by Kuroda Vocational High School, and even this battle is known as the highest level of Kuroda Vocational High School's use of strategy.

But then again, this time it was slightly adjusted by the Kuroda family, and the power of the wealthy clans and people under the command of the Kuroda family, including Miyoshi Masaysu and Kagawa no Kei, reached more than 40 families. Among them, there were not only important ministers of the Miyoshi family, but also local forces in Sanuki Province and Awa Province, and it was their defection that directly led to the death of the Miyoshi Nagaji brothers and the rout of the Miyoshi family.

In this battle, more than 10 samurai were killed, nearly 2,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and the casualty rate reached 10%. Nearly 5,000 soldiers and soldiers of the Kuroda family's large and small forces defected, nearly 5,000 were captured, more than 3,000 escaped, and nearly 5,000 escaped with the people of the large and small wealthy clans.

In contrast, in this strange battle, the Kuroda family combined for many reasons, and its own losses were almost negligible. The Kuroda family did not march immediately because there were too many soldiers who had taken refuge and were taken prisoner, but stopped at Ueno Castle to prepare for a major rest and reorganize the entire army.

The soldiers of the Kuroda family rested in Ueno Castle for ten days, and after the initial integration of all the forces of the wealthy people, the army of more than 24,000 people was divided into two.

A part of the army of 10,000 people, led by Mamoru Ando, and Kuroda Vocational High School sent Hi Yahachi as a deputy general, converging Koga Yoshitoshi and Koga Nobunaki in Kosai Castle, a total of 11,000 people, and under his command there were also Naoshi Ando, Andong Goji, Keitaka Endo, Nobuyuki Kiriya, Takehisa Takehisa and others, and the goal was Iyo Province in the west of Sanuki Province.

This time, the Kuroda family's division of troops finally showed the real purpose of Kuroda Vocational High School's trip to Shikoku this time, which was to unify the entire Shikoku realm.

On the other side, the army of the Kuroda family, which had been repaired in Katsurui Castle, totaled 14,000 people, and under the personal leadership of Kuroda Zhigao, there were all the other Kuroda family samurai except for some low-level samurai who stayed behind. As well as Miyoshi Masayasu, Kagawa no Kee, and others such as Saito Shigo, Yoshida Kanekin, Umibe Tomomitsu, etc., who took refuge in the Sanki Province and Awa Province under the command of the Kuroda family.

And their target is other places in the country that have not been suppressed.

Just as the Kuroda family was just preparing to leave Katsurui Castle, the second batch of supplies sent from Harima Province had already arrived. Kuroda Vocational High School is still quite satisfied after knowing that the materials have arrived, and the continuation of the Kuroda family in the past two years is still very impressive, and a war of tens of thousands of people like this can still be supported for a long time, which is the backing for Kuroda Vocational High School to dare to start a war.

The first to arrive at Kuroda Vocational High School was the Akasawa family's Banxi Castle. Speaking of the Akasawa clan, it is the Shinano Ogasawara clan, and the ancestors came to Awa Province to recuperate.

Starting from the current head of the family, Akasawa Zongchuan, he came out of Miyoshi Shikyu, and married Miyoshi Shikyu's niece, became a member of the Miyoshi family, and gave birth to his sister-in-law, Lu Zhicheng, which is one of the reasons why he swore to follow Miyoshi Nagaji.

In September of the 10th year of Tensho (1582), in the battle of Katsurui Castle, which was owned by the head of Chosho and Ibubu, at the Battle of Nakatobukawa, Akasawa Muneden led the Lang Party of the clan to fight to the death as a side of Miyoshi Depositor, which shows his loyalty to the Miyoshi family.

"How? Is the Akasawa family willing to submit? Kuroda asked?

"Returning to the young master, unwilling to surrender." Kuriyama Rian half-knelt on the ground and replied.

"Don't you want to? It seems that the Akasawa family takes the title of Miyoshi family very seriously! Kuroda squinted, the military equipment in his hand kept flipping, and looked in the direction of Banxi City.

Suddenly, Kuroda stood up, "In this case, the Akasawa family does not need to continue to exist. How many Akasawa family defenders are left? ”

"The Akasawa family has gathered several wealthy families in the vicinity, and the garrison has five hundred people." Riyan Kuriyama replied.

"Five hundred? Then press the crossbow ashigaru first, no, wait a minute, press the iron cannon ashigaru, and then press the three Hao clan teams, and then the two standing teams in the back to press the formation, just use Miyata Mitsuji and Dawn Guoliang. Kuroda said coldly.

"Hey!"

"My lord, the Kuroda family has attacked." Shinkai said as he pointed in the direction of the Kuroda family's army.

In addition to the identity of the Miyoshi family, another point of the Akasawa family's victory was the "Akasawa Family's Twelve People System" under his command, which was the foundation of the Akasawa family's rule and the regional ruling alliance of the alliance on which the Akasawa family depended.

The nearby forces mentioned by Kuriyama Toshian earlier were the "Twelve of the Akazawa Family" composed of the three members of Itanishi Castle of the Akazawa family, including Akasawa Dehana Mamoru, Sakagami Bizen Mamoru, Yasuki Hida Mamoru, Abe Sai Numasa, Sakado Kii Mamoru, Oji Matsu Taisuke, Akasawa Minomori, Shinkai Right Near, Inufushi Left Near, Shichijo Sunshiro, Takawa Konai and others.

"Everyone, the time has come to fight for the Miyoshi family, please be sure to gamble on your martial arts luck, and you must repel the Kuroda family!" Before the battle, Akasawa Sect shouted loudly.

"Hey!"

The Kuroda family's iron cannon ashigaru first reached the firing range of the castle, and after a puff of green smoke, more than a dozen bowshishigaru fell immediately on the walls of Itanishi Castle.

"Bastard, it's the Kuroda family's iron cannon, everyone should pay attention to dodge." Akasawa shouted.

Seeing that the city wall had been suppressed, the three wealthy clans moved, they had never attacked the city like this, and there was no bow and arrow sniper on the city wall, which made them very comfortable. When the Hao clan team began to attack, the two Kuroda family's standing ashigaru teams also moved.
