Chapter 182: The retreat of the city well and the town
"But the lord, you must not let go of the city and town! Be sure to kill him. Even if he dies, I'm going to kill him. Shimakatsu shouted loudly.
"As I just said, if you really die here, in the hands of Chengjing Town, do you know that even if your family wins the world, what will you write in the history books at that time? After his father's death, Shimakatsu Takeshi, a young samurai of the Kuroda family, like a poor child, took the initiative to seek revenge for his father's father, and died at the hands of the enemy under the disparity in strength.
Yes, maybe because of this feat, others will get the name of a filial son, but more people will definitely regard you as an irresponsible, self-defeating, and stupid reckless man in the future, when they look at your deeds. It's not a samurai of the Kuroda family who has gone out of my training class, like the others standing next to you, who should have his own responsibilities and responsibilities. ”
"No...... That's not true...... No...... I," Shimakatsu shouted loudly to Kuroda with tears in his eyes.
"It's just presumptuous......" Hattori shouted at Shima Katsumo.
"It doesn't matter." Kuroda reached out and stopped Hattori Masanari.
After that, he continued to Dao Shengmeng: "Zuo Jin, I don't want to say what I just said a second time, you give me a good idea for myself." After you are sure that you can calm down and have thought more clearly, come to me yourself. Jiro, Saburo, Ansuke, and all of you, you all look after him for me, and never let him cause trouble for me, and never let him do anything stupid, you know? ”
"Hey!" Kuroda Ritaka, Kuroda Toshinori, and Kuriyama Riyasu, as well as all the young samurai who were standing in the back who had anything to do with the training class, agreed.
Because of the arrival of the Kuroda family's army, and after it was involved, the team in the castle town house could only be forced to retreat, and it was his round of raids that caused the Kuroda family to suffer heavy losses, in addition to the death of Samurai Island Katsumasa, but also lost three samurai, and more than 400 soldiers were killed and wounded. And the people of the Bunzen country in the castle town house also left more than 100 corpses, but in general, the Kuroda family lost.
After this battle, the Kuroda family sent nearly 1,000 people to escort the 3,000 prisoners of war of the Otomo family to Moji Port, where they would be met by the Kuroda family's navy, and all of them were transported directly by sea to Iwami Province, and then escorted to the nearby gold and silver mountains to work as coolies until they reached the end of their service, if they could get out alive.
On the night after the battle, after all, Shima Katsutakeshi took the initiative to come to Kuroda Vocational High School alone and ask for forgiveness from his lord, Kuroda Vocational High School.
The two of them communicated in the Imperial Pavilion of Takase Castle for nearly half an hour. None of them knew what the two of them were talking about, only the two of them and Hattori Masanari knew what the conversation was about. And after this incident passed, because after all, it was Shima Katsutoshi's sad matter, so no one took the initiative to mention it.
It's just that in the later history books, there is such a good story of Takase Castle's night talk for future generations to guess and figure out. As for how future generations want to make up for their brains, it is really not something that Kuroda Vocational High School can manage.
After the fierce battle of Takase Castle, there were only more than 13,000 people left of the Kuroda family's 15,000 army, and after the battle with the castle town, and then with the 5,000 army of the Otomo family, the losses were indeed very large for the Kuroda family.
Among the losses of nearly 2,000 people in total, just the powerful castle town house has brought the Kuroda family a loss of nearly 800 people, and such a loss is the entire Bunzen country before and after, killing, wounding, and killing the Kuroda family's soldiers.
The Otomo family's loss to the Kuroda family was mainly caused by relying on the power of the fence and planks before the Kuroda family's wooden truck broke through it.
Kuroda Vocational High School was the first to let the entire army be repaired, and did not rush forward with the army, because this castle and town house as an opponent, whether in history or in this life, is really the nemesis of the Kuroda family.
Therefore, to deal with an enemy like Chengjing Zhenfang, it is necessary to plan cautiously, and it is very likely that you will be able to hit the road directly, who calls the opponent's military strategy not bad!
In addition, the 5,000 soldiers of the Otomo family, in the previous battle of Takase Castle, were killed by the Kuroda family nearly 1,000 people, and nearly 3,000 people became prisoners, and more than 1,000 people escaped the siege of the Kuroda family and became a rout, wandering away from the castle valley and even in the mountains and forests of Toyozen Province, Toyogo Province, and Chikuzen Province, becoming large and small bandit forces.
At the same time, the castle house is also thinking about how to resist the future attack of the Kuroda family, even if the Kuroda family now has only more than 13,000 people left, it is not something that the castle town can resist.
Because after the rescue battle in Takase Castle before, the Toyozen Guoren team led by himself was also greatly hit, and the original Fengzen Guohao clan and Guoren army of more than 3,000 people were only about 2,000 people left.
This was still when they retreated later, because Kuroda Vocational High School saw that he was the queen of the castle and the town, so he gave up the pursuit, otherwise the Fengzen country side would be even more unbearable now.
How do you face the attack of the Kuroda family after that! The first thing that came to Chengjing's mind was to find reinforcements. The Otomo family is already too busy to take care of themselves, and the Chikuzen people have been destroyed by Tojikan and them, so it is best to have a large number of reinforcements to come to help, so that he can better resist the attack of the Kuroda family.
After thinking about it, the first thing that came to mind at this time was Sugi Shigeliang.
Sugishige Ryoshi is the eldest son of the original Maori family's heavy minister, because the Kuroda family defeated the Maori family, so he fled to Kyushu with his father, and because he had some ability, he became a retainer of the Otomo family and became the lord of Matsuyama Castle in Toyozen Province.
On January 18, 1579, the seventh year of Tensho in history, Sugishige was tempted by the original master of the Mori clan and planted a counter-flag against the Otomo family, but was attacked by the coalition forces of the Akizuki Taneshi and Takahashi Kanse, who were subordinate to the Otomo family at that time, and was finally taken by Takahashi Kanzen at the age of 26.
It's just that now the Maori family has been subordinated to the Kuroda family, and because of the Otomo family's grace to him, he has received a lot of help from the Otomo family, and the most important thing is that he can't accept the various systems of the Kuroda family, so he has become a die-hard fan of the Oyuya family.
