Without the knowledge of the Mori family, the Kuroda family entered Fukatsu-gun in Bigo Province from the high-rise street at the junction of Bichu and Bigo. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This attack on Bigo Province was a decision made by Kuroda Vocational High School after careful consideration, discussed it with Sanada Masanobu, and reported to Kuroda Vocational High. After Kuroda Vocational High School entered Bigo Province with a large army, it seems that their strategic intention is very obvious and clear, that is, to directly penetrate the ruling center of Bingo Province, Numata Castle, the residence of Kobayakawa Takakei.

Regardless of whether Kuroda Vocational High School's strategic intentions are really like this, at least Numata Castle's Kobayakawa Takakei believes it, after all, Numata Castle is not far away from preparing for China, if Kuroda Vocational High School really leads the army directly into Numata Castle this time, he can come to the castle and fight with himself in less than a day, so it is impossible for Kobayakawa Takakei not to believe it.

To put it bluntly, this is a kind of conspiracy, which is the result of Kuroda's deliberate actions, because in this way, Kobayakawa Takashi can feel the pressure and take the initiative to fight in the field.

The Kuroda family had just entered Bigo Province, and several small wealthy families such as Ichimura, Yakaru, Chida, and Uyama in Fukatsu County, after seeing the Fujiba banner of the Kuroda family's army, immediately opened the castle and surrendered, and sent the surrender table and hostages very familiarly, and also sent some food and dishes for the army to enjoy, and some sent their own daughters.

In the previous battle between the Kuroda family and the Kuroda family, that is, after the Kuroda vocational high school flooded Matsuyama Castle and easily defeated Mori Motogashi. Mori Motosho, who had returned to the country safely, issued an order to prohibit the entire Mori territory from talking about the battle.

Because Mao Liyuan also had some scruples, he was afraid that because of this failure, there would be a rebellion in his territory, after all, he had done too many unsightly things before. However, the mouth of the defense of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, and when they prepare for the battle in China, almost most of the high-ranking samurai of the Maori family and the powerful wealthy people are basically participants. As participants and personal experiencers, they knew a lot about that battle, while some small landlords and ordinary people could only know the specific things through the oral accounts of the ashigaru and peasant soldiers who accompanied the army.

Even if the miscellaneous soldiers who accompanied the army only knew a little bit about it, their own personal feelings were still true, and they still let people know about the battle. The news of Kuroda Vocational High School's flooding of Matsuyama Castle, Senwa Castle's defeat of Yoshikawa Motoharu, and Bizen Kuni's defeat of Kobayakawa Takakei can still be revealed a little bit in the territory of the Mori family.

In this way, almost the entire Maori Collar knew that the Kuroda family had amazing combat effectiveness, and even the assist Maori Yuan was not an opponent. And the Kuroda family is scheming, even the family's military god Mao Liyuan and the famous general Liangchuan lost to Kuroda Vocational High School, and the gray will be ready to give up China, so what else do these little wealthy families have to fight with the Kuroda family? This is one of the things that Maori Yuan is afraid of, his subordinates will exaggerate the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family because they are afraid, so they do not have the courage to fight the Kuroda family.

However, after knowing that the Kuroda family had invaded Beihou Kingdom, the governor of the Ueno family in Fukuyama Castle, did not look down like the rest of the wealthy clans. Instead, he immediately summoned the peasants and soldiers, closed and blocked the city gates, and prepared for the cage city.

After all, the Ueno family is a genealogical minister of the Kobayakawa family for generations, and he has always been grateful to Kobayakawa Takakei for trusting him, so he feels that even if he dies, it can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the Kobayakawa family!

In fact, Ueno Shinkyo also participated in the battle of the Mori family's preparation for China, but he walked the waterway with Kobayakawa Takakei, so he didn't know the situation by land, but after that, he learned some details about the Kuroda family's defeat of the Mori family from the lord with whom he had a good relationship. He knew very well in his heart that with the power of his Ueno family, he was no match for the Kuroda family at all, but he still resolutely chose to carry out Cage City, even if it was to help Kobayakawa Takakei delay some time.

Although Fukuyama Castle is a flat castle on the coastal plain, it is relatively large in size, and it can be regarded as the first fortified castle in Fukatsu County, and it is one of the most important cities even in Bigo Province, so it is no wonder that the Ueno family was able to give up on the Kobayakawa family if they were able to obtain this city.

At this time, there were 200 people gathered by the Ueno family in Fukuyama Castle, and at the same time, after knowing the news of the Kuroda family's attack, Ueno Shinjing also immediately ordered the horse to go to Numata Castle to inform Kobayakawa Takakei that the Kuroda family's army was coming.

After receiving the news of Ueno Shinkage, Kobayakawa Takakei immediately summoned Funaki Tsunemoto, Hiraga Takakei and others to come to the meeting, and at the same time ordered someone to send a message to Ikuguchi Takahei, Nomi Munekatsu, Oka Keitaka, Bao Ku Keikatsu, Koizumi Kogoro and other important ministers of the family to immediately lead troops to Numata Castle to assemble.

Because this time it is almost a matter of life and death for these wealthy people of Bigo Country, their speed is unusually fast this time.

A day later, counting the 1,000 troops left behind by the Maori family to garrison the country, Kobayakawa Takakei finally gathered an army of 5,000 men and rushed directly to the neighboring Fukatsu Prefecture without stopping. After all, Fukatsu County is very close to his home city, if he doesn't drive the Kuroda family out of Bigo Province as soon as possible, and use Kuroda's scheming military methods, if Kuroda Job High School comes up with some kind of plan, it will be a question of whether his home city can be kept. Now Kobayakawa Takakei doesn't have a psychological advantage when he faces Kuroda Vocational High School, so if that's the case, his face will be lost.

During this day, the Kuroda family was not idle, and under the supervision of Kuroda Vocational High School, the Kuroda family launched two fierce attacks against Fukuyama Castle. Because the combat effectiveness of the Kuroda family is indeed too much of the Ueno family in the high places, plus the Kuroda family has a cannon fodder team of hundreds of people from the Bigo Kuni.

Although the Ueno family, under the leadership of the Governor of the family, Ueno Shinkei, relied on the topography of the castle and put up a very stubborn resistance. However, the Kuroda family, under the leadership of several samurai, managed to storm the castle through battle, and successfully captured Fukuyama Castle.

As for the casualties of this battle, in the style of the Kuroda family, the main thing is the strength of the local wealthy family, and it would be nice to give more land compensation after the war.

After taking Fukuyama Castle, it became known that Kobayakawa Takakei had begun to assemble his army, and Kuroda decided not to rush to attack, and the next day the whole army was repaired at Fukuyama Castle. After receiving the news that Kobayakawa Takakei was out of battle, Kuroda Vocational High School left dozens of men to defend Fukuyama Castle and advanced the whole army to the west.
