Chapter 31: The Battle of Crane Head City (I)

As for the samurai of the Kuroda family, they were all protected by the Kuroda family as treasures, after all, they were the high-end combat power of the Kuroda family, and the iron thin pills or belly rolls, iron standing pockets, array feather weaving, and even iron cage hands that could resist sword slashing were all available.

As long as it's not unlucky, then the Maruki bow is basically ineffective against the samurai of the Kuroda family.

But now the Kuroda family is at the forefront, but it is the newly surrendered members of the wealthy family in China, and those who can have clothes and armor are all relatives of the wealthy families or important retainers and samurai, and even some intermediate samurai are not sufficient. And their miscellaneous soldiers are even simpler, they are all wearing simple linen clothes, and some are even **** upper bodies, the wealthy families don't have the kind of financial resources of the Kuroda family!

"Puff puff" A few metal sounds sounded into the body, several Hao clan miscellaneous soldiers fell to the ground, and no one would pay attention to the dead, as for the injured, as long as they are lucky and alive and saved, the Ashigaru of the Kuroda family will generally pull them back to the main camp for treatment, as for the result of the treatment, it is difficult to say, it is really a seriously injured person who can't be saved, and in the end it can only be humane.

However, the loss of a few people was not enough to repel the attack of the Kuroda family, and the soldiers on the Hao clan's side became smarter after the death of a few people, and began to use the trees on both sides of the mountain road to avoid the rain of arrows, while the Kuroda family's ashigaru who was mixed in with them continued to advance with their heads down, only using the array hats on their heads to resist the bow and arrows.

The losses of the Kuroda family in the second wave of arrow rain were relatively small, except for the two Hao clan miscellaneous soldiers who were shot, only one Kuroda Ashigaru was shot through the bamboo armor and was slightly injured, but seeing that he could still stand, the injury should not be serious, and he was also taken back by the ashigaru behind.

After nine waves of arrows, the Kuroda family paid the price of forty or fifty people to touch the walls of Tsurushou Castle. A ladder that was prepared before was erected to the head of the city of Heshou City, this time the ladder was improved by Li Sanbao, at the upper end of the ladder, there are two big hooks, which can be hooked from top to bottom on the edge of the battlements of the city wall, the defenders must lift the ladder from the bottom to the top, and then push forward to push down the ladder, but as long as someone climbs on the ladder, then it is basically impossible to push the ladder down, unless you are amazing.

The ladders are basically accurately erected to the head of the city, when the defenders of the three villages are ready to push the new ladder of the Kuroda family like an ordinary ladder, they found the special features of the new ladder, since they can't push it, let them come up, the white-knuckle battle is not a lot of people can win, especially the white-knuckle battle when defending the city is beneficial to the defenders, and the Sanmura family has begun to prepare for a bloody battle.

A spear pierced his chest when a spear pierced his chest, and the peasant soldier screamed and fell backwards, while Ashigaru Mimura was still proud, a spear came from outside the city walls at the same angle and pierced his throat. After making sure it was safe, a Kuroda family's ashigaru ascended the ladder to the top of the castle. Then came up a samurai of a wealthy family, and three or four miscellaneous soldiers of the wealthy family, Mimura Kinlai was the closest, and rushed over with a dozen people, although Kuroda came up with three or five people, but in the end it was killed by this wave of counterattack by Mimura Kinyori, of course, the sacrifice of the Kuroda family also took the lives of seven or eight people of the Mimura family, and the two sides were basically one life for one life, and it was not easy to achieve the same battle damage between the two sides during the siege war!

At this time, the Kuroda samurai Hanafang Masayuki, who was mixed in the crowd under the city, secretly took off the longbow on his back, this bow was specially made for him by Li Sanbao, whether it was the bow body or the bowstring tanned by a special method, it was much better than the rattan bow used by Hanafang Masayuki before. And because the power required to open this bow is extremely large, even Masayuki Hanafang can only open the bow six times at most, but the lethality is definitely straight up.

His target is none other than Mimura Kinari, the younger brother of the Mimura family who took the lead in shooting before, you must know that in the previous shooting of Tsurushou City, there were seven or eight casualties on the Kuroda family's side that were all due to him, since he wanted Yin people, of course he was the best choice for Hanafang Masayuki.

Hanafang Zhengxing bent his bow and arrows, the muscles of his right hand all bulged, took a deep breath, and pulled the longbow string halfway, his eyes had already been aimed at the three villages who were still commanding the city at the moment, and suddenly he drank heavily, the green tendons on his hands bulged, the bow was pulled into a full string, and as soon as his hand was loosened, the arrow flew towards the city like a meteor.

Mimura was fighting against the Kuroda family and other soldiers at this time, and he had just killed two Kuroda family samurai, standing there looking at the situation around him, thinking about which side to defend. Suddenly, his own hair stood on end, he himself was an expert with a bow, so he had a natural sensitivity to bows and arrows, and he knew that he had become someone else's prey.

At this time, there was indeed a sound of breaking the sky under the city, and it was rapidly approaching the city, and Mimura knew that he was the target of this arrow. So he didn't have time to think about it, his body immediately went down, and the arrow shot by Hanafang Masayuki just grazed his head and flew over, and if he was half a second slower, Mimura would have died.

After Mimura Qincheng avoided this killer arrow, he was terrified thinking of the scene just now, even if he was half a beat slow, he might be splashed with blood on the spot just now, and he didn't dare to come out again, just hiding among his own soldiers to fight. Obviously, he is the defender of the city, but he was forced by the Kuroda family who was besieging the city to dare not raise his head, which is really a great shame!

"Damn." The must-kill arrow missed, and Hanafang Masayuki was also very unwilling, such an arrow, even if he could only shoot six arrows, he was dodged by this samurai of the three village families, which was really unacceptable to Hanafang Masayuki. He lowered his bow and rushed to the city with his sword.

The Kuroda family's offensive was fierce, and from time to time several warriors opened gaps in the city wall, but the people of the Mimura family had no way to retreat, so they could only gamble with their lives. At this time, the walls of the city were like a beach at high and low tide, with the tide rising and falling from time to time, and the soldiers of the Mimura family and the Kuroda family were like sand on the beach and water droplets in the sea, overturning each other and engulfing each other from time to time.
