According to the actual situation that may be encountered, as well as the current situation of the various forces in Kyushu obtained by the Kuroda family, Kuroda Vocational High School ordered the 3,000 Kuroda family elites who went to southern Kyushu to be equipped with 800 poles, and the 3,000 elites who were ready to go to Kitakyushu were equipped with 1,700 poles, and the remaining 500 poles were evenly distributed to the two Ming navy armies, but the old-style firearms, iron cannons, and hand crossbows that they exchanged were mostly obtained by the Injima and Noshima naval forces, and the Tosa naval army was divided into 30%.

This time out of Kyushu, among the 3,000 elite soldiers of the Kuroda family, there were 800 firecrackers, 700 crossbows and ashigaru, and the others were all ordinary elite ashigaru. The 1,500-strong team fully illustrates the importance that Kuroda Vocational High School attaches to the Shimazu family, and also fully demonstrates the Kuroda family's ambition and determination to win Kyushu.

It's just that the proportion of long-range soldiers is not the highest in the Kuroda family. Of the 3,000 men who were ready to go out to Kitakyushu, there were 1,700 gunners and 800 crossbowmen. And even all members of the Ming Navy are experts in long-range weapons, which can achieve full-range attacks.

Don't look at the Kuroda family's attack, a full 500 long-range soldiers were dispatched, but in the confrontation with the 100 iron cannons of the Shimazu family, they didn't take advantage of it at all. The Shimazu family's iron cannon ashigaru took advantage of the long-range distance bonus of the city wall, and the Kuroda family also asked them to keep their distance from the city wall as much as possible in order to protect their soldiers. Originally, their task was to suppress, and killing and injury were just collateral products, and if they suffered heavy losses because of this, they really couldn't afford it.

Because of this, the Kuroda family's long-range team stopped at a distance of seventy paces from the inner city and began to shoot at the defenders on the wall, forming a stalemate with the long-range soldiers on the wall.

The people of the Shimazu family were not surprised that the long-range soldiers of the Kuroda family stopped at such a distance, because the distance of seventy steps, although it was already the largest distance, if it was shot, it would still be able to kill their own enemy, and for this point, the iron cannon of the Shimazu family was very sure.

Suddenly, between the city wall and the Kuroda family's five hundred long-range soldiers, projectiles and crossbows flew one after another. It's just that after shooting for a while, the remote soldiers of the Kuroda family found that they couldn't help the other party at all. Although in terms of weapons and equipment, as well as the elite level of the soldiers, the soldiers of the Kuroda family are far superior to their opponents. However, the other party was the side defending the city, occupying the advantage of the city wall, and this advantage offset all the other advantages of the Kuroda family.

However, relatively speaking, the casualties on the Kuroda family's side were much smaller, because the Kuroda family's soldiers were very experienced and familiar with the use of long-range weapons, they were all veterans, and they knew how to kill their own hands.

Now the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers no longer seek to defeat their opponents in terms of speed, and they aim calmly every time they shoot, striving to cause damage to the opponent, but the city wall is too much of a disturbance for them. And the Kuroda family can still be called a marksman in this situation, and there are indeed not many people.

Shigeharu Takenaka on the Kuroda family's side saw that the long-range soldiers on his side could not take advantage, so he had no choice but to suggest that the Itetomo clan directly attack the city. The Imate Tomoshi sent Urakami Kiyomune and Imate Tomokiyo to each lead a team to attack the castle.

Both of them are fierce generals in the Itetomo clan's army, and they are both samurai who don't want to die when they fight, and now they are sent to attack the fortifications, which is indeed a good choice.

These hundreds of people all held small wooden shields arranged in advance, and pushed forward as quickly as possible, striving to be able to touch the city wall quickly. To be honest, this kind of small wooden shield can be regarded as a psychological comfort at most when facing the long-range attack of the defender of the city, especially when facing the iron cannon, and it is really difficult to play a big role. However, the soldiers of the Kuroda family still held their small shields high, and under the suppression of the long-range soldiers on their side, they were charging forward.

One of the Shimazu family's iron cannons, Ashigaru, lifted his own gunpowder-filled iron cannon and prepared to shoot at one of the Kuroda family's samurai, only to be stabbed through the head by a crossbow bolt just as he took aim.

"Damn, Saemon." A companion next to him gritted his teeth and shouted his name, but he was no longer saved, he immediately aimed at the crossbow of the Kuroda family who had just killed his companion, and the iron cannon made a loud noise, but it was a soldier who prepared the Chinese in front of the crossbow.

It's just that his movements have already attracted the attention of at least four Kuroda family remote soldiers, and in an instant, three projectiles and a crossbow arrow roared, and before he could react, the crossbow bolt was inserted into the battlement in front of him, and the three projectiles grazed his body and flew into the distance, flying towards the galaxy.

He is very lucky, many people who have survived on the battlefield, you ask him why he survived, in fact, more of the answers he gets are that he is lucky, his companions are all dead, and only he remains in the world for various reasons. Fighting a war itself requires luck, and luck can also determine the final outcome of a war.

Imate Yukiyo was the first to climb the city wall, and all around him were the long-range soldiers of the Shimazu family, and the moment he landed in the city, the iron cannon ashigaru who was still in the aiming posture was stunned, what is the situation! The Kuroda family is coming up.

Ite-tomo-kiyo will not be soft because they are in a daze, he mobilized the maximum of his body, and shot quickly in the fastest and most labor-saving way, striving to kill one person with one shot, and six or seven people fell to the ground and died in an instant.

Someone reacted immediately, and those who were closer immediately gave up the iron cannon in their hands, pulled out the ribs around their waists, and prepared for hand-to-hand combat. Far away, in addition to continuing to shoot at the castle, more than a dozen people aimed their guns at Imate Yukiyo, wanting to snipe at the fierce general brother of the Kuroda family. In the process, Ite Tomokiyoshi stabbed four more people to death.

Ite Tomokiyo knows how powerful the iron cannon is, because he has seen it many times at the Kuroda family. No matter how high your martial arts are, once you are hit, you will lose your precious life. Although he is a fierce general, he has also studied in the training class of the Kuroda family, and he still understands the truth that he can't be strong.

So when he first saw that he was facing a knife-wielding light who rushed towards him, he already had his own calculations. I saw that his spear was sent, stirred, bulleted, and provoked at the opponent's ribs.

With a series of actions of Imate Yukiyo, he used it in one go, and a weapon of not very good quality was picked up and flew out and fell on the road under the city wall.
