Chapter 427: The Uchijima Clan

"Shili, thanks to you leading the way, I was able to capture Sakura Cave City so quickly, and the next step is directly Takayama City, right?" Hosokawa Haruyuki asked the middle-aged samurai on the side, who were walking along a narrow mountain path.

"My lord! There is also a mountain down the city ahead, and after that, there is no hindrance. The road is rugged and difficult, but it is a shortcut to the bottom of the mountain castle. "The person who replied was the Uchijima clan, a local wealthy family, and the lord of Shirakawa Township in Hida Province. As soon as he learned about Hosokawa Haruki's strategy for Hida Country, he defected and became the leading party.

Although the Uonejima clan is a little-known small wealthy family, it is also the third largest wealthy family in Hida Province after the Eima family. And the Uonejima clan in front of him, but in just a few words, he can make Takeda and Uesugi the two giants, and the cattle who want to swallow up Cloud City but return in vain, have left the reputation of "the commander of the strongest army in the Warring States: Takeda Shingen is also unable to defeat" and "The strongest tactician in the Warring States: Uesugi Kenshin is not in time to attack".

This is a smart man, although his wisdom may not be as good as that of the world's wise men, but his eloquence is first-class. With this ability, not to mention that in Hida Country, I am afraid that it is the whole world, and it is definitely one of the best tongue discerning ministers.

It's a pity that the Uchijima clan never left the Hida country in his life and did not become a first-class samurai in the world. In addition, the demise of the Inner Island clan is very sci-fi, and it can be made into an epic disaster blockbuster, which must be a blockbuster!

Generally speaking, there are many reasons for the disconnection of the samurai: death in battle, being changed, no heirs, etc., but it is very rare for the Uinejima clan to become extinct.

The cause was a heavy snowfall, and after a full day, Guiyun City was covered with heavy snow everywhere, and all escape routes were closed. At the end of the night, a great earthquake struck, and it was like a titan giant stomping on it so hard that the earth shook for only a short moment before it stopped.

However, the entire Guiyun Mountain was also trembling at this moment, and after a muffled thunderous roar, in an instant, a corner of Guiyun Mountain suddenly cracked, and a mudslide mixed with snow water, stones, and mud rushed down, like a million troops charging unstoppable.

In an instant, the entire Guiyun City's yashiki and high turret were all swallowed on the spot, not even a rabbit escaped, and more than 300 people from the city lord Uchijima clan and the following lords and slaves all died.

Extinction for this reason is probably unprecedented, if not unprecedented, in history, but at least extremely rare. And as a small force with a lonely and weak force, it has left a strong mark in history in this way, what is the joy? Is it sad?

"Hmm... The mountains on both sides are really steep. Hosokawa Haruyuki looked at the mountains on both sides and was a little hairy, this is simply a mountain gate pass, if there are ambushes on both sides, a stone falls, they all have to explain here.

"Yes, but rest assured, my lord, our army is attacking rapidly, and the enemy should not have time to prepare. Otherwise, it's a hell of a place to go. The Uonejima clan replied respectfully, knowing that Hosokawa Haruyuki would be sealed in this Hida country in the future, and he naturally became Haruyuki's retainer because of his shrewdness.

"Well, the order goes down! Speed up! Although Hosokawa Haruyuki knew that there would be no ambush, he also wanted to pass through this kind of fearful place as soon as possible.

"Speed up! Target Yamashita Castle! Go! "Ten Rivers Depository acted as the first team of pioneers, immediately ran forward, and played an important role in the usual weight-bearing running training.

Stompe! Stompe! The whole of Kyoto is like a long snake, swimming quickly in this mountain stream. Unejima watched this scene in amazement, he felt that it was not easy to travel on his own horseback, he was tired enough, and Kyoto was as if he had become accustomed to it, which made him even more glad about the decision he had made.

"Attack!" As soon as the Ten Rivers Depository entered the boundary of Yamashita City, he did not rest, and went straight to this Pingshan Castle.

The castle is said to be a city, but in fact it is like a cottage, with simple houses, earthen fortifications, wooden fences and gates, and it is a problem for the locals to dress and eat, so how can they have the money to build a city. If you really want to say that the castles built with stone barriers, there are only Takayama Castle, Guiyun Castle, and Kamioka Castle of the Eima family, which is called Hida Three Castles.

"Quick! Archery! Archery! Miki shouted hoarsely and loudly, commanding the eighty defenders in the city to fight, and looked at the tide of enemy troops outside, and his scalp was numb in shock.

"Archery! Suppress the city! "The Uchijima clan is in charge of commanding the bowashigaru, and each ashigaru reserve of the Hosokawa family is equipped with a 10% ratio of the bowshigaru, and these people are all equipped in wartime, directly from the archer training camp, and are not included in the reserve quota.

Whoosh! Two hundred bows and feet were fired in unison, more than the number of people in the city, and the arrows immediately covered the entire castle under the mountain.

Poof! "Uhh The peasants in the city were not professionally trained, and when they encountered flying arrows, they would only scurry around, and more than a dozen people were shot down at once.

"Damn! Take cover! You fools! "Miki Naohiro hid behind a large plank, and this rain of arrows caused the defenders to lose more than 10% of the battle.

"Uhhh Run! "Seeing so many of my companions dead at once, some people immediately panicked.

"Come back! Bastard! Hold here! Come back! No matter how Miki Naohiro shouted, the fleeing peasant soldier refused to turn back and ran wildly.

Whoosh! The second rain of arrows came, poof, poof! Deng Shi shot the fleeing peasant soldier into a hedgehog, and at the same time took several lives.

"One, two, crash! One, two, crash! The castle was completely suppressed, and Kyoto began to pound on the gate without hindrance.

Boom! Boom! Click! It only took two hits before the fragile gate crashed to the ground.

"Hahaha! Kill! Kill all the weak chickens! Shihe Depositor laughed and rushed in, this kind of battle was simply pediatric compared to the past.

As soon as the gate broke, the battle ended quickly, and if it weren't for the two unlucky guys who slipped and broke their heads, they probably would have won without damage. For this reason, Hosokawa Haruyuki also punished the two unlucky guys for doing 200 push-ups, and they couldn't do it without food. Oh, my God! It's great that they can make a hundred, and it looks like there's no more for dinner...

"Shili, is the inner part of Takayama City connected? Is this man reliable? Hosokawa Haruyuki asked the Uchijima clan that at night, the whole army rested in this mountain castle. Early tomorrow morning, he will rush to Takayama City to crusade against his sister Xiaolu Laigang.

"Rest assured, my lord, Nei Ying is ready, this person is absolutely reliable! Sister Lu Lai Gang has a grudge against him for killing his father! Uonejima knelt on the ground and slowly uttered a person's name.
