"And the remaining 10,000 troops continue to besiege the inner city, and we will also launch a siege later. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" said Shigeharu Takenaka.

"Hmmm! Then it's decided, let's all go down and prepare! Imate agreed to his proposal.

"Hey!" The crowd shouted.

Everyone knows that as long as the living forces of the Shimazu family can be eliminated step by step, and finally capture the inner city, Satsuma Country is estimated to have no problem in capturing it, and now they are very confident.

In the middle of the night, when the defenders of the inner city were not paying attention, the Kuroda family secretly sent out four teams to move away from the castle towards their respective goals.

The next day, the Kuroda family did not attack the city again, but as a defender, Shimazu Yoshihiro was not happy at all, in yesterday's offensive, the Kuroda family lost more than 100 people, and his own side lost more than 30 people, it is still acceptable, but he has seen the strength of the Kuroda family's soldiers.

He knew that the Kuroda family had an incomparable need for expansion, and he also knew that the Kuroda family's combat power was strong, but he also knew that the Kuroda family liked to use various means to achieve the final victory.

Shimazu Yoshihiro asked himself, if he was now in the position of the Kuroda family and had the same army in his hands, he would definitely not hesitate to do more and just continue to attack the city.

And the Kuroda family did not do this, and after the powerful offensive of the previous day, they chose to stop and did not make any preparations for the attack, it seems that the Kuroda family is likely to be preparing some conspiracy.

So the Kuroda family has never attacked the inner city, and in the face of such great logistical pressure, what does the Kuroda family want to do? Definitely not for tourism, that's for sure.

Shimazu Yoshihiro's first thought was to encircle the point to send reinforcements, but the following person who was responsible for monitoring the Kuroda family's camp said that he didn't see the Kuroda family's camp being moved, and even two meals a day were normal.

Although he was still somewhat skeptical, he was already besieged by the army, and even if that situation really happened, he could only watch and say that he couldn't help.

Relatively speaking, he is relatively relieved about his second brother Shimazu for a long time, if it is just a simple ambush, he should not be fooled, but it is really difficult to say about the other few families and tribes. If you don't come, you may be able to keep some soldiers for the Shimazu family, and if you come, you may be self-defeating.

Shimazu Yoshihiro's second thought was that it was very likely that the Kuroda family had already found a way to attack the castle, but this engineering method was different from the past, so it took time to prepare, so they did not continue to attack the castle.

After figuring out something, Shimazu Yoshihiro immediately called Sadama Arikawa.

"My lord, what do you command?"

"I need you to do two things, the first is to send more people to find out the current situation in the Kuroda family's camp, especially the number of soldiers. Second, he instructed everyone to be on guard, as the Kuroda family was likely to attack the castle soon, so be sure to cheer up. ”

"Hey! Don't worry too much, as long as the main hall knows the news and returns with a large army, plus the many sub-clans and clan forces, we will definitely be able to defeat the Kuroda family. Sadama Arikawa said loudly.

Shimazu Yoshihiro glanced at him, then sighed, "Okay, you go down first, what we have to do now is to guard the city and wait for my brother to return." ”

"Hey!"

At this time, the news of the Kuroda family's siege of the inner city had spread all over Satsuma Province, and in the Yoshida Castle Imperial Hall of Satsuma Country, Shimazu had already gathered all the men and horses under his command.

"Lord, are we really going?" Akatsuka asked Shimazu carefully.

"Of course I want to go, Satsuma Country is the foundation of my Shimazu family for hundreds of years, and the inner city is the foundation of my family, and it is the top priority, and there is absolutely no room for loss."

"It's just the lord, from the intelligence point of view, the Kuroda family is obviously prepared this time, when the elite of the family goes to the Hyuga country to conquer, through the sea route directly into the inner city, whether in terms of the time or tactics chosen, it is definitely after careful planning, this go to the inner city is only afraid of ......" Akatsuka Shinken stopped here when he said this, he knew his identity, and the decision was finally in the hands of Shimazu for a long time, and what he needed to do was to explain the situation clearly.

"I know what you mean, in fact, the news of the Kuroda family's siege of the inner city this time is already very suspicious." Shimazu said.

"This ...... Why did the lord say this? ”

"If you were a member of the Kuroda family and dispatched an army of about 20,000 people, and it was a sudden attack, would you let this news leak out after besieging the inner city?"

"This ...... Under it will not. ”

"That's it, this news is likely to come from the Kuroda family, at least the Kuroda family deliberately leaked it, and its purpose should be to surround the point and send reinforcements."

"Lord, why are you still ...... in that case?"

Shimazu waved his hand for a long time, asking Akatsuka Shinken not to continue, and he said with a firm look in his eyes: "Since the ancestors laid the overall situation of the Shimazu family, it has been more than seven hundred years, even when the family was the most difficult, my Shimazu family has never been afraid of anyone, my Shimazu family is not afraid of the Shimazu family, not afraid of the Otomo family, not afraid of the Kikuchi family, not afraid of the Ito family, and I will not be afraid of the Kuroda family."

What if the Kuroda family has three million stones, and what about the number one force in the world, it just depends on all kinds of intrigues and tricks, plus good luck. Others will be afraid, my Shimazu will not be for a long time, and they will definitely lay a net on the road that we must pass, and we will plan when the time comes, and it will be good to defeat this Kuroda family's ambush army.

Moreover, the Kuroda family's army must besiege the inner city, it is impossible to mobilize too many soldiers and horses, plus they will use some ambushes and other tactics, we will definitely not face many enemies. If we can defeat these centaurs, we will be able to reach the outskirts of the inner city, and we will be able to reduce the pressure on the inner city through constant harassment. ”

"I see, but in case the number of enemies ......," Akatsuka said with some concern after nodding his head.

"I'm more worried about the safety of the inner city now than we are about it." Shimazu said.

"What's in danger of the inner city? However, there are 500 men and horses of Shimazu Yoshihiro in the inner city, plus the left-behind soldiers of various families, clans, wealthy clans, and countrymen, as well as some young and middle-aged people in the city, the number of people and horses that can be assembled to defend the city should reach at least eight or nine hundred, with such an army, there should not be much problem in resisting the Kuroda family! Arikawa said.
