We all know that Yamanaka Yukimori has the title of Izumo no Shika, and in the meaning of this title, there is praise for him, and it also shows that he has very superb martial arts, and can be worthy of a martial name that begins with the kingdom of Ling.

The samurai under the command of the clan wanted to come up to stop Yamanaka Yukimori's advance, and three or five people rushed towards the opponent, and at this time they felt that they had to protect their lord, so they risked their lives to fight Yamanaka Yukimori.

It's just that Yamanaka Yusheng's martial arts are not within their reach at all, he just understates a stab forward, and he can easily kill one person, three or five people didn't stop for long at all, this is the performance of Yamanaka Yusheng's martial arts.

No matter how much the clan escaped, he was finally chased by Yamanaka Yukimori, and at this time, his samurai were finally killed and wounded, either killed by Yamanaka Yukimori, or left on the spot by his men. In such a situation, the clan Xingguang, who was not very good at martial arts, still did not escape the fate of being stabbed to death by a shot by Yumori Yamanaka.

As a result, the clan Xingguang also became the first high-ranking samurai to die between the two sides in the entire battle, and his name will forever remain in the historical description of this battle.

There are actually many ways to go down in history, to be a hero, to do something that everyone can be moved by, and always sing praises for you. Or become the background wall of this hero, or the supporting role in that touching event, or the villain. Whether it's good or bad, as long as it can appear in the history books, maybe this can be regarded as a commendation for the clan Xingguang as a samurai!

When the two large teams on both wings were defeated, Shibata Katsuya already had a very bad premonition, in order to be able to reverse the situation, he didn't dare to have any slackness, except for a thousand people left in the formation, the other thousands of troops were all pressed up at one time.

When Musato Takayu saw this situation, he immediately asked Maori Longjing on the side, and Maori Longjing immediately suggested that he should press all the armies up.

It's just that Muri Takayu himself is not only a strong martial artist, but he also has this personality that likes to gamble, so he only left a team of 500 people in the formation, and suppressed all the others.

Obviously, the Kuroda family's army is more elite, and in the previous battles, whether it was the battle of the Chinese army or the duel between the two wings, the Kuroda family had an absolute advantage.

Especially when several young generals of the Kuroda family joined the war. For example, our Saito Asanbu, a seventeen-year-old samurai who had not long been in the Yuan service, carried a spear and killed Kanamori Nagakin, a general under the command of Shibata Katsuie, in this war.

If you know a little bit about history, you will know that Saito Asanobu was also very active in the battle of Shidake with the monkeys in history, and even was rated as one of the seven guns of Shidake after the war, which was the highest moment of his life.

And now Saito Asanobu, he is a young samurai under the command of the Kuroda family, and through this exploit, he has at least shown some talents. At least it is certain that Saito Asanobu's achievements in the future will definitely be higher than in the original history, and in the Kuroda family, a family that decides everything by merit, it will definitely not be like under the command of a monkey, slowly falling silent, and finally disappearing into history!

After a battle, the 12,000 army of the Shibata Katsu family lost nearly 8,000 people, and the number of people who were really killed by the Kuroda family was actually only more than 1,000 people, and nearly 4,000 of the remaining people directly turned into deserters. In addition, more than 2,000 people surrendered to the Kuroda family.

Shibata Katsuya led a rout of less than 4,000 men and returned to the castle in the north of his residence, directly abandoning all his other territories and resisting the attack of the Kuroda family.

And when he had just returned to Kitanozhuang City, there was another piece of news that came to him. That is, Sasa Narumasa who he sent to resist the Takayama clan, and after only one day of fighting with his opponent, he was defeated by the Takayama clan's design, and Sasa Naruma himself was also killed by Watanabe Moritsuna, a subordinate of the Takayama clan.

The army of 3,000 people led by Sasa Naruma was killed by the Takayama family, more than 400 people, and more than 1,000 people surrendered to the Takayama family, and more than 1,000 people fled.

Two days later, the army of the Kuroda clan and the army of the Takayama clan converged at the foot of Kitanosho Castle, and after the two sides merged, the number reached nearly 15,000.

In the past two days, there have been wealthy families and countrymen who are not optimistic about the Shibata Katsu family, and they have fled from the city with their subordinates to express their surrender to the Kuroda family. Therefore, in the castle of Kitanozhuang, there are only 2,500 people left directly under the Shibata Katsu family.

In addition, there are more than 200 wounded soldiers in Kitanozhuang Castle, and many of the wounded soldiers are unwilling to stay, they are still young, and they don't want to die with Shibata Katsuya, but it's a pity that for them, because the injuries are too serious, there is no way to escape.

Kitanoso Castle is the residence of the Shibata Katsuie, and it is also the strongest castle in the entire Hokuriku Province. It is precisely because of this that Shibata Katsuya abandoned a large area of land after the Battle of Tsuruga and returned here directly with a large army, hoping to continue to resist the Kuroda family's subsequent attacks.

Kitanosho Castle is a mountain castle, and because of the mountainous terrain, Kitanosho Castle has enough area to expand the castle, and the current Kitanosho Castle has Honmaru, Ninomaru, Sannomaru, and several curvatures.

At the same time, Hori was excavated outside Kitanoso Castle, and water was brought in from nearby to be used as a moat. There are six Hori in total, and if you want to attack Kitanosho Castle, each one will have to be filled slowly.

Behind Hori, there are also countless sharp wooden repulsors, which are stuck diagonally in the castle walls, and it is difficult to clean them up. There are also more than a dozen small oars standing in the city, which can monitor all directions and shoot enemies.

To sum up, Kitanozhuang Castle is definitely an impregnable city, and it is a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

There is a water source in the castle of Kitanosho, and the presence of a water source means that there will be no rapid chaos due to the siege of the enemy, which is the basis for defending the castle. Moreover, Shibata Katsuya was accustomed to seeing marching and fighting, and attached great importance to the reserve of food, and all kinds of materials in the city were very abundant and sufficient.
