Sugan Tsui Castle is located on the road leading to Kameyama Castle from Gopin Prison Castle, and like Gopin Prison Castle, it is built on the hills near the Nariba River. Suga Tuju Castle was originally the residence of the local powerful Suto clan, more than ten years ago, the little slave can take advantage of the palace Gaosheng's inability to take care of the secret annexation of the Suga Tuju City, and sent his cousin to become the city lord, after the little slave can solemnly tear up the invitation to expel the messenger, the lord of the Suga Tuju City took the defenders to shrink their forces to defend Kameyama Castle. Xiao Nu Ke solemnly and his relatives are obviously not ready to clear the wilderness, and it seems that they have made the decision to stick to Guishan City and gamble on the fate of the family, in fact, it is enough to see the hesitation of Guishan City from the fact that they did not destroy the branch cities, once they destroy the branch cities, the Date army will not have any place to stand, Wupin Prison City is more than 20 miles away from Guishan City, and the ancient 20 miles and the current 20 miles are completely different concepts, Once the cities are destroyed, there are only two choices left for the Date army, one is to face the time of hundreds of Guisan Guerrillas to harass and attack Guishan City for a long time, and the other is to find a place to station outside Kameyama City, and the danger of stationing in the field and stationing in the city has greatly increased, not to mention the situation that Guishan City has also sent a guerrilla army.
Yoshioka Masahide, Katayama Moenaga, Kizuna Kiyoshi, and Shigeto Tadaaki did not fail to consider finding the guerrilla army sent by Kameyama Castle first, but it was obviously more difficult than stationing in the field to attack Kameyama Castle, and it was difficult to hunt down an enemy of nearly 100 men in the plains. Not to mention Kibi Kogen, which is home to many mountains and valleys. Besides, the Date Army is a dragon crossing the river. The Guerrillas of Guishan City are the head snakes of the land. It may cost them to harass the Date Army, but if they dodge the Date Army's attack, they may be ambushed and killed by the guerrillas once they penetrate the Kibi Plateau. Date Masahiro didn't have much time left for them, and if they couldn't achieve a phased victory in a short period of time, so that the Mori Yuan would be aware of the movement, and the operation of Nuke County would only be able to come to an end and consolidate the territory that had been gained.
The failure to destroy the castles was a mistake of the little slaves, but it also made Yoshioka Masahide, Katayama Morinaga, Kozune Jingyun, Shigeto Tadaaki and others no longer worry about the attack from the guerrillas. Attacking and harassing is not the same as annihilation, and it is quite simple and easy to attack the troops in the wilderness with a little strategy, but it is a difficult thing to attack the mountain city that is defended by the city wall, and the guerrilla army that cannot form a scale can only look at the city and sigh. The lord of Suga-toi Castle went to Kameyama Castle with most of the people in the castle, and left with their relatives, but there were still some old and weak women and children in the castle, and perhaps insignificant people remained in the castle to guard. As soon as the old man who stayed behind heard that the person who came was the vanguard of the Date Army, and saw the blades in everyone's hands, he was already frightened, and he still had the idea of resisting. They stayed behind just to do a showy thing, to clean up the city. Waiting for the return of the city lord, he didn't wait for the return of the city lord, but waited for the arrival of the Date army.
The old man who stayed behind was not an ignorant native, the strong arrival of the Date army had already spread throughout Nuke County, and the gossip was flying all over the sky, and the people who lived in the city were some people, all of them were very shrewd, they were not as frightened as ordinary natives, they spread their legs and ran home, pretending to be calm and trembling and opened the city gate to welcome the new lord who ruled their lives into the city. The pioneer official Katayama Moricho didn't embarrass the stay of Sugato Castle, but he just expelled them from the city after interrogating them, and he didn't care about it, in fact, the Date Army knew and didn't know about it, and the people who stayed in Sugato Castle were obviously outcasts, most of them were inconsequential characters, but according to the principle that there was always nothing wrong with interrogation, he also asked some news that he had already known but was verified.
The approximate number of defenders of Kameyama Castle has been verified to the greatest extent, since Suga Doi Castle fell into the hands of the Date army, and the other four branches of Kameyama Castle, Nobuya Maru Castle, Ichimori Castle, Moriji Castle, and Oni Castle fell into the hands of the Date army in turn, and the superiority in strength allowed the Date army to calmly dispatch troops to control the castles. After the Date army took control of Suga Doi Castle and placed the main camp from Wupinjiao Castle here, they began to dispatch troops to advance towards Kameyama Castle. Since the branches of Kameyama Castle had fallen into the hands of the Date Army within a day, the guerrilla army sent by Kameyama Castle had become a joke, and now it was a difficult problem to complete the task of harassing the main force of the Date Army, and if you wanted to attack it, you had to be prepared to be surrounded on all sides and unable to escape. There were too many castles in the Wa Kingdom, and tens of thousands or even more were built in a narrow area. According to the understanding of Zhengheng, there is not a single city with a scale of 10,000 people in China, and there are more than 10 cities with a scale of 1,000 people, most of which are the cities of the people who dominate one side, such as Songshan City is one of the best, there are about 1,200 cities with more than 100 people, and there are several times more than 100 people in the city, not to mention the small fortress where more than 10 people are stationed. The chaos of the country of Bigo was higher than that of Bei China, which had already entered the stage of the hegemony of the two heroes, because of the competition for hegemony between the Mimura clan and the Zhuang clan in Bei China, a large number of small rice dumplings were abandoned, and after Date Masaki unified China, he wantonly abandoned the small rice dumplings where more than ten people were stationed.
Castles were generally built near major roads and rivers, and the branch of Kameyama Castle fell into the hands of the Date army, and the guerrilla army led by Ichimori no Shigenobu could only stay away from the castle area. Ichimori no Shigenobu can only silently pray that Kameyama Castle can hold out until the reinforcements of Mori Motoyoshi arrive, although the hope is very slim, but it is the only glimmer of hope now.
Due to the fall of the branch castle, the generals of the Date Army, such as Yoshioka Masahide, Katayama Morinaga, Kozune Keiyo, and Shigeto Tadaaki, could calmly arrange the military situation.
The short time is calculated for the general siege that takes three or four months or even years, and even if the Maori Yuan wants to react, it will take a month. Going out of Kameyama Castle to the Kamibe Plains is not a flat river, the straight line is all dangerous ground, the road is difficult to navigate, and even in modern times, it has not been completely opened, let alone in ancient times. It can be said that it is necessary to cross the entire Bigo country, plus Daifuyama Castle has already set up a checkpoint to block the passage to and from Kameyama Castle, and it takes a big circle to bypass the checkpoint, whether it can be conveyed to the gods and the plains is still a matter of two words, even if it is teleported, I am afraid that the daylily will be cold for a long time.
If you only go to Yamauchi, Sanyoshi, Wachi and other national forces to ask for help, you don't have to be so troublesome, as long as you pass through the checkpoint set up by Daitoyama Castle, you can enter the Sanji Basin along the Nishijo River, and you can enter the Aki Province as long as you pass the Sanji Basin.
In the early morning of 11 October, an army was set up outside the city of Guishan, and many people in the army said: There are 10,000 people at once, and there is no bank at all. Although the Date army is obviously not able to reach 10,000 people, even three or four thousand are already high, but the more than 1,000 Date army divisions plus the gathered Nuke County people can also reach the scale of two or three thousand, because it is now a farm, as long as you put money and grain, you can bring in strong men who are difficult to survive the winter to enrich the army, and the temporary peasant soldiers are also the role of enriching the army, so that Guishan City has formed a huge psychological pressure, and if you really want to fight, you can only look at the leading role of the three hundred blue soldiers with clear banners.
The trumpets of the great battle have sounded, the drums of war have been beaten, and the siege battle is about to begin. The soldiers on this side of Kameyama Castle looked at the posture of the Date Army for a while, and looked at their own castle tower for a while, looking very nervous, needless to say that most of these soldiers who had not participated in the real war, even the samurai masters were holding their weapons tightly, their mouths slightly open, and their hearts were beating violently. After years of stability, the soldiers of Kameyama Castle could only show off their might in front of the villagers in normal times, and at most they were dragged out to parade when taxes were collected, and very few had actually seen blood.
The local tyrant team of Nuke County on the side of the Date Army is no exception, but one is outside the city and the other is inside the city, and he put down some thoughts in a heavy mood, and sneered at what Kameyama City did. Just by looking at the soldiers with the three hundred blue flags, you can see the strength of the Date army, and I heard that such elite soldiers are still in the second line of the Date army, and the number is even more than four or five thousand.
The two huge catapults had already been assembled, and they creaked, and two huge stones the size of a millstone were thrown out, whistling in the direction of the great gate of Guishan Castle.
Guishan City, like many mountain cities, is built by the mountain, there are two cities, three cities, and a large city gate, which is the strategic point leading to the big rich mountain city, although the small slave can be grand, although it is a little unreliable, but he is ambitious in building the city or reflects his character, whether it is the pattern of the castle tower that does not match, or the scale of the Guishan City reflects his character, the ambition is great and talented.
With two loud bangs, the wooden wall above the city wall next to the big gate of Guishan Castle was smashed open with two large openings, and like many castle walls, wooden walls built with stone strips are often built with wooden planks, and the wooden walls seem to be able to block the impact of the boulders, and the gaps are even beyond imagination. The defenders behind the wooden wall are holding their weapons and waiting for the siege of the Date army, according to the conventional method of warfare, it should be a burst of bow and arrow shooting, and then climbing the city wall, they can use the opening specially left in the middle of the wooden wall to assassinate the climbing enemy, where did they think that the first to usher in is not a bow and arrow, but two boulders the size of a millstone, the huge shock wave and sawdust flying, to the defenders pose a big threat. When sawdust of all sizes flew in all directions, destroying the soldiers hiding behind the wooden wall and screaming so badly, the soldiers who had escaped the disaster were so happy that they were afraid to stay away from the wooden wall.
