Chapter 36 Flooding of Matsuyama Castle
"Not good, everyone, the conspiracy of the Kuroda family should be in Matsuyama Castle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Mao Liyuan suddenly stood up and said loudly.
"What, the conspiracy of the Kuroda family is in Matsuyama Castle?" Although everyone didn't know why Mao Li Yuan said this, but for so many years, Mao Li Yuan's command they were all admired, since he said so, the Kuroda family does like to play conspiracy, then it must be wrong, the Kuroda family's plan is in Matsuyama City, so at this time, everyone in the Mao Li family has been a little shocked.
"I'm afraid we've fallen into the trap of the Kuroda family." Mao Liyuan said with some frustration.
"There is such a thing." Gui Yuancheng said in surprise.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the whole army is assembled and ready to leave Matsuyama Castle, immediately, immediately, do you all understand?" Mao Liyuan shouted loudly.
"Hey," the crowd replied loudly.
Twenty minutes before Mori Moto gathered everyone, on a hill outside Matsuyama Castle, among the gloomy trees, hundreds of Kuroda family soldiers who had been lurking here for a long time suddenly appeared from the woods, led by the Kuroda family's fierce general Hanafang Masayuki.
"Ladies and gentlemen, because of the Maori family, we have eaten the ashes here for a day, and now it's time to dig up the earthen dam to hold back the water, so that the Maori family will often be flooded." Hanafang Masayuki shouted with a smile, the surroundings have long been cleared by the Tongxin people, and the Maori family has not sent people to search around, so he is really not afraid of his whereabouts being exposed.
"Hey" More than 100 soldiers are just whispering in response, if they shout loudly, it is estimated that they can really be heard in Matsuyama City, and then the Maori family will be on guard.
It took only more than ten minutes for the Kuroda family to quickly shovel away the soil blocking the flow of water on the dam, and after accumulating the flow of water for nearly ten days, they began to run towards Matsuyama Castle like a beast out of a cage.
In an instant, like a wild horse on the loose, the river broke free from the cage and roared towards Matsuyama Castle along the ditch dug by the Kuroda family organization near the people (like monkeys in history, the Kuroda family also spent a lot of money to organize these people). Trees, houses, dirt, stones, as long as they were in front of them, were all swept away by the flood without exception, and this side of the world was completely controlled by the torrent for the time being. If the small temple is here at this time, he may sigh: If the water goes down, who can be with it.
A few minutes later, just enough water to flow to Songshan City, Gui Yuancheng keenly heard the sound of flowing water, of course, all he heard was a rumbling sound, and he asked suspiciously, "Is it the sound of a horse?" ”
Mao Liyuan suddenly closed his eyes and said dejectedly: "No, everyone, this is water, it is the sound of the water, and my family lost this time." ”
The torrent soon poured into the city, the water flow was very fast, after pouring into the city, immediately encountered a row of poor quality wooden houses, the water first rushed into the houses, people met the enemy, maybe they would retreat, but the water flow will not stop moving, a wave of water continued to hit these fragile houses, and because of the barrier, the water flow automatically formed a small whirlpool, the cabin finally could not withstand the impact of the water, more than a dozen houses with the water flow, dumped into the water. The original houses are turned into planks, or logs, that are carried by the current and flow to the next place, knocking the next house to pieces, and so on. Only the relatively sturdy Ashigaru longhouses and samurai houses were able to ensure safety for the time being.
It was too late for Mao Li Yuan to order everyone to prepare for leaving the city, and the water rushed into the city quickly, and it was already below his knees after a while, causing chaos in the Maori army in Matsuyama City, and human beings were actually very small in the face of natural forces, especially this sudden situation, so that the soldiers of the Maori family did not know what to do for a while.
There was a Maori family in Ashigaru very close to the city gates, and he had seen it all the first time the flood came, his pupils dilated at the time he saw the water, and his face looked terrified, and he thought for a moment that it would be better if he hadn't come. He didn't know how to swim, he was very afraid of everything in front of him, the water had surrounded the city, he felt that if he didn't run, he would be drowned in the water, he still had his wife and newborn child, and an old lady to feed himself, he really didn't want to die. He let out a sudden cry and walked hard towards the outside of the city, and he soon went out of the city, and walked in a direction where he felt safe, a low hill, and he made up his mind to go there.
When he first left the city gate, the water was still only above his knees, but after only two or three meters, the water reached his waist, and you must know that the name of Matsuyama Castle is inseparable from his steep terrain. The geographical gap outside the city wall is very large, and he is actually very lucky to walk two or three meters and the water only overflows his waist.
He still wanted to try, the small hill seemed to be not far away, but he only walked out a meter, he found that he was about to be flooded, he knew that he was scared, he immediately made up his mind, to walk back, back to the city, at least there are walls to rely on, but he hasn't even turned around, a wave hit, completely submerged him,
The soldier who escaped from the city was not the only one to leave the city, nor was he the only one drowned, but the seven or eight Maori soldiers who had left the city and were about to flee were all fed the shrimp and crabs in the water. Seeing their miserable situation, the Maori army in the city no longer dared to run outside the city, the water in the city was quite deep, long enough to reach the knees, and the speed of the water was still very fast, and there was no intention of slowing down because of the obstacles, and around the Maori soldiers, wooden building materials floated everywhere, and from time to time there were soldiers who were bruised, and even killed by the entire log used to build the house.
In this case, the tall castle wall seemed to be a lifesaver for everyone, and of course, as the first to discover the Kuroda family's method of attacking water, Mori Motomasa was the first to climb to the top of the castle tower of Matsuyama Castle under the protection of many samurai, and was guarded by the samurai of Yasuki Province to ensure his safety. Of course, this time their target is their own people, and they have to guard against other Maori soldiers, and they can't let these ordinary soldiers enter the castle tower. (To be continued.) )
