After Akai Naomasa made up his mind, the team of the Akai family began to advance towards the Yunyuan Mountain Road, and the team was almost halfway through, but there was still no situation, and Akai Naomasa began to advance with a samurai with peace of mind. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It seems that the Kuroda family is nothing more than that." Akai Naoma looked at the mountains on both sides of the mountain road, and suddenly said with a smile.

As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, many soldiers of the Kuroda family suddenly appeared on the high mountains on both sides. "Free Shooting" is exactly the 100 crossbows left by the Kuroda family in Tajima Province, because of the close distance, coupled with the inertia from top to bottom, the crossbow bolts are extremely powerful, and they instantly shot down more than 20 miscellaneous soldiers of the Akai family.

"How so? Retreat, retreat quickly. "Akai Naomasa knew that something was wrong after seeing the ambush, and it seemed that the Kuroda family had already known that the family had taken action and had been prepared for a long time. He was still quite decisive, and immediately gave the order to retreat, and Akai quickly fled the way he came with his own army.

Kuroda Yoshitane, Irita Yoshimi, Irita Kinri and others took advantage of the chaos to kill, crossed the crossbow ashigaru, and began to kill the soldiers of the Akai family who had fallen behind, and chased them out for three miles before stopping. The battle lasted half an hour, and the Akai family lost more than 100 people, and the Kuroda family suffered only more than 10 casualties.

After Akai Naomasa turned around, he was relieved to see that the Kuroda family did not chase after him, and he scolded all the ancestors of the Yamana family in his heart.

After this battle, the Kuroda family's Tajima Province was completely occupied, and even possible external threats were eliminated, and Kotera Vocational High School could finally rest assured about Tajima Province.

At the same time, within a few days, Matsui Shigetaka led people to capture Gaoping Castle and Jingshi Castle, plus the castles of some small wealthy clans, and the Kuroda family had completely controlled Hachishu County.

Then Matsui Shigetaka left only a small part of his troops to guard Hachishu County, and led the 1,300 troops that had joined the local nobles to the west into Yagami County, which was the territory of Takeda Takanobu.

Love Road Castle is the domain of the Takeda family, Shirakawa Nobuyoshi. He was one of the five samurai who escaped from Tottori Castle with Takeda Takanobu, and was a highly trusted subordinate of Takeda Takanobu.

As for Kojijo Castle, it is a typical small castle built on a hill, and the terrain is dangerous, and it is the gateway to the Takeda family in Hachigami-gun. As an important minister of the Takeda family, Shirakawa Nobuyoshi was able to live and die with Takeda Takanobu, and he was extremely trusted by Takeda Takanobu, and at the same time, he was also extremely loyal to Takeda Takashin.

Although the Kuroda Army arrived suddenly, Shirakawa Nobuyoshi had already prepared for it. More than 130 people were gathered into the city, and the head of the city was piled up with all kinds of materials to defend the city.

Looking at the love road castle built on a hill, Matsui Shigetaka shook his head, "It's not easy to do!" ”

"My lord, do you remember Lintian Castle in Shihe County?" Ota Hara said with a sudden smile.

"Oh! Otawara, haha, thank you, I see. In this case, we are just like last time, we are still bothered that Lord Yanhara Jingneng brought 300 people as suspicious soldiers, and I will take people to sneak attack, after this battle of Otawara, you are the first merit. Matsui Shigetaka bowed excitedly to Sotoki Ota Hara.

"Hey!"

The next day, Shirakawa Nobuyoshi stood at the head of the city early, looking at the Kuroda army under the city, with doubts in his eyes, the Kuroda family had already come here yesterday, why didn't they attack yet? Could it be that you want to wait for the military strength of the small temple in the north, it is very likely, but didn't the Yamana family in the north contact the Nizi family to send troops, is it really that easy to fight? It's amazing! ”

Suddenly, a ashigaru came to report: "The lord's big business is not good, the Kuroda family has attacked the city from the back mountain, and it has already attacked the city." ”

"What, how did the Kuroda family's army appear in the city?" Shirakawa Nobuyoshi said in surprise.

"Lord, I don't have time to worry about this, please hurry up and make a decision!" A samurai next to him said.

At this time, sure enough, the fire behind the city broke out, and the shouting of killing suddenly started, and at the same time, Yanyuan Jingneng, who was facing the direction of the city gate, also moved towards the city wall with three hundred people.

"Retreat into the Imperial Pavilion to defend." Shirakawa Nobuyoshi looked at the situation in front of him, and could only reluctantly order to retreat to the imperial hall.

The Kuroda family's army soon besieged dozens of Shirakawa Nobuyoshi in the Imperial Pavilion.

"Shirakawa Nobuyoshi surrenders! The Kuroda family will not treat you badly. Otawara shouted loudly.

"Surrender? Won't be treated badly? Shirakawa Nobuyoshi laughed.

"Exactly," replied Ota Hara.

"I'm an old minister in the Takeda family, can the Kuroda family give me such a status?" Shirakawa Xinyi suddenly asked with a sneer.

"I really can't give it." Otahara said embarrassedly.

"Don't be delusional, Lord Takeda Mikawamori is as kind as a mountain in Xia, and he will not betray the lord in Xia no matter what, the people of the Kuroda family, if you want to capture Lianlu City, kill Zai Xia first!" Shirakawa Xinyi shouted.

"I admire you as a real samurai, don't you really think about it too much?" Ota Hara still wants to persuade again.

"Needless to say, I, Shirakawa Nobuyoshi, have made up my mind and am willing to die for the Takeda family." Shirakawa Xinyi shouted resolutely, his voice was very pathetic.

"In that case, the Kuroda family allows adults to seppuku." Ota Hara said with a sigh.

"Thank you." Shirakawa Nobuyoshi said with a smile.

Shirakawa Nobuyoshi then committed suicide by seppuku in the Imperial Palace, several henchmen samurai also committed seppuku in the Imperial Palace, and the other miscellaneous soldiers surrendered, and the Kuroda family occupied Oiji Castle and entered Yagami County, which had opened the passage to the Takeda family's Ubi Castle.

After that, Matsui Shigetaka led his army to turn south, but due to the lack of ships, he had to bypass the river and encounter Kawara Castle upstream. Kawara Castle is also a strong mountain castle, but this castle was built on the top of the mountain, and it could only be attacked hard, and this time Ota Hara did not think of any good way, so he could only suppress the castle head by fifty crossbowmen, and the rest of the horses and ants attached to the siege.

This time, Nobuhara Jingneng was the first to climb the city, and with his own bravery, with the help of other soldiers, firmly occupied a piece of the city, as the Kuroda army continued to pour into the city from this gap, Kawara Castle could not be defended, and the defenders also chose to seppuku, but only half of the defenders in the city surrendered, and the others chose to fight to the death.

On that day, the 1,000-strong army of the Kuroda family led by Matsui Shigetaka drove to the foot of Ubi Castle, a Takeda home castle.

"Brother, it seems that the number of the Kuroda family is about a thousand!" Takeda Matazaburo said.

"Well, if it's just this number, it looks like Matsui Shigetaka's military strength in the intelligence!" Takeda Takanobu squinted at the Kuroda army under the castle.

"Brother, there are still four hundred elites in this family, but Cage City may not be able to defeat the Kuroda family." Takeda Matazaburo said loudly.

"Saburo is right, the Takeda family is not so easy to perish." If he knew the end of Wakasa Takeda and Koshin Takeda, I don't know if he would have said that.
