As night fell, Kono Castle gradually quieted down, probably because of the lockdown, and the people in the city had closed their homes early in recent days.

There are no more merchants, and many stores have closed. As for the restaurant and brothel, it was also closed early, after all, there were no foreign merchants, and the local area was robbed again, even if anyone had a few spare money at home, they didn't dare to squander too much, so the business of the restaurant was bleak, and the little guy in the store had been dozing off at the door. The courtesans were able to sleep early and wake up late every day, and not only did they sleep well but also eat well, so over the course of a few days, not only did their skin become smoother, but they also had a circle of flesh around their waists...... It's a pity that it didn't grow on the chest.

There are fewer and fewer vendors doing business on the roadside, especially the stalls selling snacks, which are almost gone, and although there is no shortage of food in the city, no one knows how long it will be closed, so the people in the city regard food as extremely important.

No one noticed that the armored warrior who had been standing at the gate of the city during the day had disappeared at some point.

Suddenly, at some point and now, an anxious cry came out, waking up the people who had fallen asleep, and many of them ran out of the room while getting dressed, yawning and muttering "disturbing dreams", and when they looked up, they were so frightened that they didn't feel sleepy.

I saw a raging fire in a restaurant not far from the city gate, and the fire lit up the entire street, followed by the sound of intensive gongs and drums, and some people shouted for the neighboring families to come out and put out the fire quickly.

Then many people ran in the direction of the restaurant with buckets, because the Japanese country mostly used wood as a building, so once there was a fire, the fire would become very large in a short period of time. Although many people carried buckets to fight the fire, the water was still not extinguished.

At this time, I don't know who shouted again, and everyone turned their heads to look, only to see another fire shining brighter at night, so many people rushed there to put out the fire.

But it was like a relay, and soon there were more than a dozen fires, and now half of the city was lit up by the fire, and many people ran outside while dressing, even if they didn't go to fight the fire, they didn't dare to stay in the house anymore, because no one knew if the next fire would be their own house.

The samurai who were patrolling the city saw this situation and followed the people to put out the fire, and a few samurai ran in the direction of the castle lord's mansion, presumably to report to Shimazu Shoo.

The dozens of warriors guarding the city gate looked at the fire not far from the city gate, hesitated for a moment and hurried to put out the fire. The samurai standing on the castle tower did not dare to leave their posts without the order of Shimazu Shuo, but their attention was always on the fire in the castle.

Looking down from the castle tower, Kono Castle was on fire at this time, and there were no less than 20 fires, and the streets were full of people, some were busy fighting fires, and some were standing stupidly on the side. The barking of dogs, the cries of children, and the cries of the city were mixed together to look chaotic.

There is chaos in the city, and the fire is raging!

No one noticed that the city gate had been slowly opened by a group of people, and many people with steel knives quietly poured in from outside the city gate, some of them climbed the stone steps of the city tower, and some of them ran towards the city.

The samurai on the castle tower saw that someone was going to go over to ask, and as the first samurai was hacked to death, the other samurai reacted and drew their swords and rushed over, but it was too late, and as more and more people climbed the castle tower, the samurai on the castle tower were slaughtered in a short time.

There were murders everywhere in the city, and many of the people were so frightened that they did not even dare to save the fire when they saw people fighting, and fled in all directions for fear of being hurt, and in a short time the city was mostly empty.

When dozens of samurai on the side of the restaurant were still carrying buckets to fight the fire, they saw a group of people menacing and thought that they were also rushing to fight the fire, without the slightest defense, until the enemy made a move, only to find that the other party was holding a knife, and at this time a lot of samurai had died, many samurai knives were hacked to death without even pulling out, and the remaining samurai were horrified and fought to resist, but after all, they were outnumbered, and only a few samurai escaped by taking advantage of the night.

The scene played out in many parts of the city, where the people in the houses watched through the cracks in the windowsills as the slaughter took place outside, and many of the children were just about to cry when their parents covered their mouths, leaving only a whining sound.

There were a lot of samurai gathered outside the castle lord's mansion, about a thousand people, and several leading feudal lords asked to see Shimazu Shuo, and the two guards standing at the gate of the courtyard knew that something big had happened in the city and did not dare to slack off, so they quickly knocked on the door, but there was no response from the house.

In a hurry, they pushed open the door, only to see a bloody mark on the ground, shocked, they hurriedly ran to the bed, but saw Shimazu Shu Nan lying on the bed with blood on the corner of his mouth, so he boldly stepped forward and put his hand under Shimazu Shu Nan's nose to test, under this temptation they were terrified, and shouted loudly outside: "The general is dead, the general is dead!" ”

The samurai gathered outside the city lord's mansion were all shocked when they heard this, and they felt that they had no backbone all of a sudden, as if their backbones had been pulled away, and they didn't know what to do. At this time, someone saw countless figures flickering not far away, like demons from hell, and several feudal warriors had no idea and did not dare to resist, so they hurriedly took the remnants of the samurai to hide in the city lord's mansion.

"My lord, the samurai everywhere have been cleared, and the castle tower has been occupied, leaving only more than a thousand samurai gathered in the castle lord's mansion......"

After Cao Wei entered the city, he listened to the reports of his subordinates while walking. Akutsu Hui followed him, looking at the corpses all over the city, his face flickering in the light of the fire, not knowing what he was thinking. Toyotomi Shunyoshi's expression was indifferent, but if you look closer, you can see a little excitement in his eyes.

"Where's Chiba Nokichi?" Cao Wei asked suddenly.

"Chiba Gongzi is very good, he has been protected by the soldiers......" Sun Ziyu paused for a moment, and said: "It's just that he seems to be a little wrong now, looking stupid, when we found him, there were dozens of samurai around him who were desperately protecting him, and after those samurai died, he fell to the ground, crying like a madman, and he just quieted down......"

Cao Wei pondered for a moment and said, "You go and bring him over to Miss Akutsu...... Miss Akutsu, Chiba Noyoshi will be handed over to you, and now the official will lead the troops to withdraw from Kono Castle, at the beginning, the official guaranteed that Chiba Noyoshi was alive, and now he has done it, and now there are more than a thousand samurai in the castle lord's mansion, as for whether you can accept it, it depends on your own ability. ”

After Cao Wei finished speaking, he ordered the troops to be collected, and then walked to the gate of the city, and Toyotomi Shunyi glanced at Akutsu Hui and followed Cao Wei away. The mercenary guards in the city rushed to the city gate like a tidal wave, and soon left the city after gathering at the city gate.

Kono Castle seemed to be silent again, except for the sound of the fire burning wood cracking, and the corpses everywhere looked terrible and hideous in the light of the fire, and some of the brave people heard that there was no movement, so they opened the door and looked out, and when they saw the horror of the street, they closed the door again and had nightmares all night......
