Even if the ruling class and the ordinary soldier class could not be broken and the two sides were separated, as long as the resistance to the attack could be reduced and the casualties of the soldiers could be reduced in the subsequent attack, these things would not be in vain.

Therefore, in the arrangement of this matter, because Sanada Masayuki may change the position of the Yoshimi family and the people of Hamada Castle through a persuasion letter, so that the entire future Hamada Castle strategy is completely different, which is definitely a strategic victory, and it is also the embodiment and application of Sanada Masayuki's skills.

Because of Yoshimi Masanori's order, the samurai of the Yoshimi family, as well as the standing ashigaru, quickly moved into the castle and collected letters from house to house. For ordinary soldiers, they directly control all their belongings, and then conduct investigations.

Soon, the Yoshimi family confiscated most of the letters that the Kuroda family shot in, but because the search was not strong, a small part of them were still artificially hidden, and with the transmission of people with hearts, the news was still spreading in the city, which made Yoshimi Masayori very annoyed.

"Koichiro, what's written in this letter?" In a longhouse of Ashigaru in Hamada Castle, an ordinary soldier of the Yoshimi family asked another young soldier.

The Koichiro said to him, "The door is closed!" ”

"It's all closed, the latch has been plugged in, you can rest assured!"

"The letter said that as long as we surrender to the Kuroda family now, we will be considered to surrender voluntarily, not prisoners. After surrendering, if you can continue to stay in the army, you can get the same status as a soldier of the Kuroda family. Others will become ordinary people of the Kuroda family, enjoying the tax policy of five public and five people. The soldier whispered.

In fact, this soldier was a member of the Kuroda family who had infiltrated the Yoshimi family before, and the content of the letter was only one sentence, but under his processing, it became a request for surrender that was almost impossible to refuse.

"The tax policy of the five public and five people, Xiao Ichiro, you didn't talk nonsense! Is this true, if this is the case, this Kuroda family is too generous to the people. ”

"That's what the letter says, and it shouldn't be wrong." Koichiro said.

"The Kuroda family's words can still be trusted! Previously, someone who went to live in the territory of the Kuroda family sent back news that the Kuroda family is indeed the tax policy of the five public and five people. The other Ashigaru said.

"No matter what, at least it's more credible than the lord's words." Koichiro said with a smile.

"In that case, how about we go to the Kuroda family?"

"But if you are caught by the master's family, you will be killed!"

"We said we were going to keep a vigil, and then we jumped down from the city, and under the city wall on the west side of the city, there was a gentle slope, and we jumped down from there, and it would be absolutely fine, wouldn't it be fine?"

"Well, it's a way, even if you might get caught, but thinking about the Kuroda family's Renmasa, I think it's definitely worth the risk." Koichiro said to everyone.

"Then let's go before dawn!"

"Hmmm! Let's go later. ”

After nightfall that night, there was chaos in the castle of Hamada Castle, first there was a fire in the granary in the city, and when the Yoshimi family organized the soldiers to fight the fire, someone actually opened the city gate, and a large number of Yoshimi soldiers and people, as if they had been premeditated, rushed out of the city gate and headed towards the Kuroda family camp outside the city.

And such a big movement immediately alarmed the army of the Kuroda family, and immediately a team of two hundred people from the Hattori clan rushed to the city gate first, and firmly controlled the city gate.

After that, the samurai of the Kuroda family, including Matsui Shigetaka, Okamoto Hide, Kuwazono Saemon, Ota Hara Sotoki, Wakaya Sumitsu, and Megata Yukinobu, rushed to Hamada Castle with varying numbers of soldiers.

The situation is very good for the Kuroda family, because everything happened very suddenly, so the Hattori clan, who had been mentally prepared, took his own team, but basically did not encounter any powerful counterattack, and has been firmly controlling the gates of Hamada Castle.

He didn't defend for long, and soon the team behind him attacked, and the gate of Hamada Castle was basically in the hands of the Kuroda family.

Now that the castle gate has been occupied by the Kuroda family, the rest of the matter has become much easier, and the Kuroda family's army continues to enter the city and begins to clear the city of the Yoshimi family's soldiers, and if they encounter any resistance, they will be killed on the spot.

At first, there were still a lot of soldiers of the Yoshimi family who resisted, but after the Kuroda family killed a lot of people, plus the Kuroda family's army that entered the city was almost impossible to contain. The current situation for the defenders is already a situation where as long as they do not surrender, they are basically dead.

People basically have a fear of death, and some people can face the threat of death pathologically because of the so-called bushido spirit, and even cut off their own lives. It's just that even in this country that worships bushido, there are still more ordinary people, even if they have a reason to take up arms, when they are just normal human beings.

They are also afraid of death, and they also have their own fears, such as the threat of death. Slowly, under the powerful offensive of the Kuroda family, some of the soldiers of the Yoshimi family began to surrender, and then they surrendered on their knees in pieces and formations.

The Yoshimi family has not been in charge of Iwami Province for a long time, and during this period, they have been living in the shadow of Yoshikawa Motoharu. Coupled with the confrontation with the remnants of the original Ogasawara family, the Yoshimi family's reputation in Iwami Country is not very good. Even because he took refuge in the Maori family, he was considered by many Iwami people to be the lackeys of the Maori family.

Hamada Castle is the residence of the Yoshimi family, although it has been repaired by the Yoshimi family sparingly, and even secretly intercepted a small part of the income of the Iwami Ginzan, now Hamada Castle is still relatively strong, and compared with other fortified castles, it is completely incomparable, which is actually a means for the Maori family to prevent the Yoshimi family.

After the Kuroda family entered the castle, they were led by various samurai, as they usually trained, and went straight to the military targets they needed to occupy. Kowaku, arsenal, pool, samurai yashiki (the granary has been burned), Ashigaru Nagaya, and finally Yoshimi Masayori can only take about 80 people and retreat to the Imperial Palace.

"Brother, what should I do? There is no way back. Yoshimi Yorimori said loudly.

"Yes, brother, if it goes on like this, our Yoshimi family will be over." Yoshimi said sadly.

"Why don't you try to submit to the Kuroda family now! Otherwise, my Yoshimi family will perish. Yoshimi Yoshimi suddenly said at this time.
