Chapter 41: Waiting Outside the City of Shengrui

Although the Kuroda family successfully captured Ozu Castle and destroyed the Utsunomiya family due to the internal strife of the Utsunomiya family, there are many uncertainties. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For example, the Utsunomiya family sent troops to the Kono family as if they were brain-dead, because the long-range attack caused the disorder and chaos of its defense, and Toyonaga Omori in the city opened the city gate, all of which had an element of luck in it. For Kuroda Vocational High School from the modern era, luck is also part of strength, and many anime don't say the same!

Doesn't it always say that whoever is blessed by the heavens? If he can always go through such a blessing and go to the highest position, Kuroda Vocational High School will also admire him, such as the overlord and the turtle.

Naoyuki, the eldest of the Utsunomiya family, was given special preferential treatment by the Kuroda family because of the relationship between the boss of the Kono family, Naomasa, who mentioned earlier, and after he vouched for his wife, the princess of the Utsunomiya family was also able to survive.

As for Naoyuki Ohno, who has been accepted by Kuroda Vocational High School as a direct minister of the Kuroda family, he will first act with Mamoru Ando, and then he will be taken to Kuroda Vocational High School to listen to it.

This Naoyuki Ohno, Kuroda Vocational High School is still very interested, a young man who left the family and became a ronin, through his own efforts, climbed all the way to the position of the elder of the family, and also married the princess of the main family, which is really a great thing. As for what kind of means he used and what kind of person he was, there would naturally be a public investigation after that.

At this time, Kuroda's military forces had regrouped together, with more than 20,000 people, and the forces to which the Miyoshi family originally belonged were the main ones, besieging the Miyoshi family's home city, Katsurui Castle.

The Kuroda family's army has besieged Katsurui Castle for two whole days, but there is no intention of attacking the castle. This is completely out of line with the Kuroda family's style, unless they have some conspiracy planned, which also makes the defenders of Katsurui Castle very nervous, and their morale begins to slowly become low.

Miyoshi Changyi was at the end of the battle of Riseki Valley before, and when he was about to end the sparse end, after being reminded by his retainers, he noticed that there was a change in this formation early. Therefore, he was able to gather most of the soldiers under his command in time, and also coerced some soldiers of wealthy families and countrymen, and fled the battlefield first.

When Miyoshi Changyi was looking forward to where he could go, he found that it seemed that the world was so big that there was no place for him. By the way, there is Shengrui City, and the beautiful little general in the city, since they always have to die, why not live happily in Shengrui City and die again. So he hurriedly led everyone to Shengrui City, and as early as the beginning, he made all the preparations for Cage City, such as grain, grass, weapons, etc., even if he died, he couldn't make the Kuroda family feel good.

Katsurui Castle is a typical flat castle, and during the Kamakura period, it was the political, economic, and cultural center of the three kingdoms of Awaji Province, Sanki Province, and Awa Province.

As a strong castle in the world, Katsurui Castle is not only relatively large, but also unusually prosperous because of its transportation location. For nearly 200 years, the nine generations of the Hosokawa clan and the three generations of the Miyoshi clan have always taken Katsurui Castle as their base.

Katsurui Castleyoshi is located in the middle of the Yoshino River Plain Wetland Zone, built on an embankment on the south bank of the old Yoshino River, with the Imakiri River to the east and a large wetland to the south. Because the Yoshino River is connected to the sea, Katsui Castle is easily accessible by water from the coastline and the mainland, and is separated from the key parts of Gyeonggi by the Kii Waterway.

In addition to the castle tower, there are also Ninomaru (where the Miyoshi family Bodhi Temple and the granary are located), Sanmaru, Suihao, and earthen barriers. Coupled with the more than 3,000 elite defenders of Miyoshi Changyi, Shengrui City is indeed very strong, at least much stronger than the 4,000 people, the joke-general Dazhou City.

Kuroda Vocational High School has been standing still for the past three days, and has not made any attacks on Shengrui City, not even tempting, but just setting up camp and resting the soldiers.

"Yasuke, Kurou Uemon, do you have any thoughts on attacking Katsurui Castle?" Kuroda Vocational High School asked a few young people who had been recruited into the tent while drinking green tea.

These young people are all elites who have gone out of the training class, and each of them has something special, and in the training class, everyone has not been questioned by Kuroda Vocational High School.

"Young master, you should have a foolproof plan!" Inoue asked.

"Don't be tempted, just say what you want." Kuroda said solemnly.

When the young samurai heard Kuroda's words, they immediately began to think about it seriously.

"Saburo, do you have any ideas?" Kuroda asked Akashi Quanto.

"Ahh Young Lord, I, I ...... I don't have any ideas. Akashi Quanden picked his head with his right hand and said embarrassedly.

Akashi is like an elementary school student who can't answer the teacher's questions when he was in school. In fact, when I was in the training class before, this situation often appeared, although Akashi Quanden is also a civil and military all-rounder, but he is not simply a samurai with outstanding intelligence, and relatively speaking, martial arts are what he is better at.

"Young Lord, this siege is just a few tactics such as strong attack, earth dragon attack, flooding, and fire. However, Shengrui City is a city next to the river at any time, but the terrain is quite high, and the water attack is not good. If it burns, I saw that the castle was surrounded by stone walls, and it was difficult to attack with fire. Because of the existence of the moat, and the defense in the city seems to be relatively tight, it seems that the earth dragon attack will not be used. Please forgive me for being stupid and not engineering well. At this time, Dawn Guoliang replied.

"You're right."

Kuroda nodded his head, this young fellow of the Ming Kingdom seems to have inherited the advantages of Dawn Xinyuan, and his analysis is very organized, reasonable, and what he said is indeed the situation that the Kuroda family is facing now.

Akashi Quandeng's eyes rolled at this time, and he said with a smile: "Young master, don't you have any good ideas!" ”

"This ...... Kuemon is not allowed to talk nonsense. Akashi said loudly.

"Tell me, what was I thinking?" Kuroda asked Akashi Junden with a smile.

"Is the young lord waiting for any time?" Riyan Kuriyama asked.

"It could also be something." Inoue said.

"Or maybe it's really just a rest, with no intention of attacking, and waiting for the timing and what you say." Riyan Kuriyama said.

"Yes, I really don't have any good siege methods right now, so I didn't give the order to siege the city. Tell me, what am I waiting for? Kuroda asked.
