In fact, Zhang Zhongjun's army had just been dispatched, and the news had already been quickly transmitted to various forces, especially Meishan County, which Zhang Zhongjun was attacking.

It is not surprising that the Kurokawa ninjas can't block the news for Mao, you said that Zhang Zhongjun was discussing orders in the castle and giving instructions or something, these messages can naturally be blocked.

But the army has been dispatched, and when you look at the direction and listen to the movement of the army, you will naturally be able to figure it out, and this thing doesn't even need to take much effort, as long as there are people in the logistics department, people among the relatives of the garrison, and even people in the castle town, you can find out.

Of course, these spies did not dare to blatantly transmit information, and they had to leave the effective radiation range of the city before they dared to transmit it. After all, the Kurokawa ninja has a peculiar skill within the radiation range of the crypt and can clearly detect something wrong. This is an ability that is almost automatically possessed by ninjas who have a master's family.

In the ninja world, this is tantamount to common sense, and no one will make this mistake. Generally speaking, hostile ninjas dare to stand up openly within the radiation range, either to divert their attention, or to have a large army approaching the city, not afraid of being discovered. In normal times, even if you are yourself, you may not be able to find the existence of your own ninja.

The speed at which the ninja transmitted the information was very fast, and when the various forces, especially Zhang Zhongjun's target martial artist, received the news, Zhang Zhongjun's army had not yet left the territory of the Kurokawa family.

However, this news of the early arrival did not play a role, oh, not without a little effect, that is, to allow those warriors who were willing to flee rather than surrender, to have plenty of time to escape.

And those who are unwilling to abandon their family business and run away like this, and who are unwilling to surrender to the Kurokawa family, of course, have plenty of time to arrange the future.

As for the last kind of person who is ready to surrender to Zhang Zhongjun, of course, there is also plenty of time to make arrangements for the surrender work.

As for none of them who thought about turning defeat into victory, or calling friends to block the attack of the Kurokawa family?

It's very simple, the information sent by the ninja is very, very detailed, there are the number of troops sent by the Kurokawa family, the name and strength of the leading samurai of the Kurokawa family, and of course, the prediction of the speed of the Kurokawa family's march is invariable, and more importantly, the ninjas will write an assessment of the enemy's combat power for such military information. This assessment is all part of the intelligence standard.

So what is the assessment of the Kurokawa family in terms of intelligence? 2 million elite cavalry, each 10,000-strong team of leading samurai is the commander of military qi, as for the control of military qi, it is naturally high and bottom, but it is guaranteed that they are definitely samurai who can mobilize military qi.

Moreover, the marching speed of these 2 million cavalry is super fast, more than ten times the speed of ordinary ashigaru marches, and the Kurokawa family has equipped each cavalry with a large number of marching combat materials, which can allow one cavalry to continue fighting for three days without additional supplies along with war horses.

More importantly, each 10,000-strong cavalry was followed by a logistics force composed of 20,000 well-equipped and well-armed young men, who were responsible for the supply of this cavalry, including their 20,000 infantry, for a month.

That is to say, don't look at the county town in one direction, it will only withstand the attack of 10,000 cavalry, as if the cavalry can't attack the city and can't help them, but the 20,000 logistics troops that follow behind it are completely 20,000 elite infantry.

Don't look at the number of 30,000 people is nothing for a county town, but don't forget that there are 10,000 cavalry in it, which is enough to firmly block the county seat, and then let the infantry block it, the cavalry can go to clear the villages and towns below, and then pull the conquered villages and towns over to the young people, enough to use a dense sea of people to drown the original besieged county seat.

The samurai of the county town thought that there were 10,000 cavalry wandering outside the city, supported by 20,000 infantry, and there were not many cavalry at all, so they could only watch things develop as if they were conjectures.

I believe that as long as you have brains, you will not attack the county seat first, but first use cavalry to besiege it, then block it with infantry, then sweep the periphery with cavalry, and finally pull the young and strong people who occupy the territory to play the tactics of submerging the county seat.

As long as the county town does not have a strong assault force, 10,000 cavalry can completely lock up this county town. However, the Kurokawa family has a full 2 million cavalry, and he is followed by 4 million infantry, so even if he kills those 10,000 cavalry, what can he do?

So in such a state, it is no wonder that these warriors have only three choices, either flee, surrender, or die with the city, there is no fourth choice.

And of the three choices, the third one is very difficult to achieve with the city, because the governor has this determination, what about the retainers? Not to mention the retainers, but the family members of the governor? Will they have the heart to die with the city?

You must know that the reputation of the Kurokawa family is very good, but if you surrender to sincerity, the Kurokawa family will directly use it as a retainer, and it will not restrict your freedom, nor will it secretly use any means to murder you, it is used as an ordinary retainer, and if you have the ability, you will be promoted directly, and if you make meritorious deeds, it will be directly thrown over by Zhixing Money and Wealth, and it will be so rich that it will directly stun you.

What's more, unless there is the kind of person who holds on, makes a big mistake, and does not change his life, the Kurokawa family has not executed many people who have surrendered to Cheng, and they are completely sincere.

And this is also the reason why Zhang Zhongjun's Kurokawa family, after occupying so many places in a short period of time, there are still so many retainers who can use it, because Zhang Zhongjun doesn't care if you come over from the crowd, and he won't look at you differently and use you like an old courtier.

So in this case, it is very doubtful that those family governors who want to die with the city can be resolute, they are either begged by their families and retainers to change their minds, or they are forced to change their minds, or they are simply killed and replaced with someone to take the entire family to serve the Kurokawa family.

After all, if you are alive, and you can predict that you will live well in the future, and the power you live in will become stronger and stronger, so when the future is bright, I don't think there are a few fools who must die with the Kurokawa family.

The martial artists in the county are all in this mentality, and the mentality of the village and town martial artists below is even more conceivable, you must know that generally speaking, the village and town-level martial artists rarely really exist independently, and most of them have a master family above, after all, they are too weak, and even the village can't do it, where do they have the courage to stand up and roar alone in the face of the world?

So these martial artists, for the Kurokawa family, there is no psychological pressure at all, damn, who is not Tucheng Cheng? Although after defecting to the Kurokawa family, all the knowledge and action belong to the Kurokawa family, and they can only get the same level as the identity of Zhixing, but it doesn't matter, their own knowledge and deeds are similar to their own identity, and the land taken away by the Kurokawa family is not much.

So when the county warriors were still struggling, those village and town warriors who got the news of the ninja had already thought about how to defect to the Kurokawa family and how to take this opportunity to earn a little merit for themselves.
