Through long-range attacks, reduce your losses and protect your soldiers, this is also a tradition of the Kuroda family!

It's just that this time, it's the first time that the Kuroda family has done it so thoroughly, and the team of 800 people is facing the inner city that is only defended by 300 people, which is actually an absolute advantage in numbers. But it seems that the Kuroda family is not ready to attack Neri Castle even if they have achieved absolute suppression from a distance.

The ranged soldiers of the Kuroda family have been given orders not to restrict free fire, which means that as long as there is no follow-up order, they can continue to shoot, of course, it is impossible to shoot all the time, neither people nor long-range weapons can meet this. But with this order, the Kuroda family's long-range team will definitely be easier to obtain merit than in the previous siege battle, just cooperating with their own soldiers and suppressing the opponent's city walls.

However, the remote soldiers of the Kuroda family are not losers who use chicken feathers as arrows and squander arrows at will when they have an order. The commanders of the various long-range teams had already instructed them to ensure the accuracy of their shooting as much as possible, and absolutely not to shoot indiscriminately.

The long-range soldiers of the Kuroda family, whether they are crossbow ashigaru or firearm ashigaru, have had embarrassing weapons before, but they are all people who have lived a hard life when they have no ammunition, so they all cherish ammunition very much.

The 800 men had only been attacking for a quarter of an hour, and another long-range team of 800 men came up and rotated with them. This time, the defenders of Inner City are in a hurry, and the Kuroda family is really lacking in virtue! has been conducting long-range attacks, and a full hundred people have died on their side even before the attack, and they still don't attack, they still carry out long-range attacks, do they want to shoot all the people on their side to death?

So the defender of the inner city, directly Kaicheng with more than 100 people under his command, rushed over against the Kuroda family's long-range soldiers, the Kuroda family's fire guns and crossbow arrows are currently more than 100 paces, plus the numerical advantage of hundreds of people, and the rational use of three-stage strikes, this more than 100 people finally didn't even touch the Kuroda family, so they left nearly eighty corpses and fled.

In less than half an hour, the Kuroda family did waste a lot of ammunition and arrows, but there were less than a hundred people left in the inner city, and finally with the cooperation of the long-range team again, the famous general of the Kuroda family, Sakabuchi Nagatsu, took his own team of 200 people and successfully took the inner city.

After taking the Neri Castle, the Kuroda family successively took Oura, Onoon, Adachiyama Castle, and Sone Castle, which did not have much defense force, and all of these small towns were taken down by the Kuroda family, and Funatsui Tsuji, Irita Yoshimi, Irita Kinto, Kosaii Zhennao, Saito Nagami and others who had not fought for a long time all achieved good achievements.

After that, the Kuroda family joined forces and went straight to Kokura Castle in the rescue county, which was also the first fortified castle in the rescue county and the last barrier in the province of Bunzen.

At this time, the defender of Ogura Castle was the castle representative appointed by the Otomo family, the owner of a castle in Kyoto County, Toyozen Province, and the commander of the powerful wealthy clan of Toyozen Province.

The Nakatsu clan is the lord of the people who is based in Nakasang, Toyozen Province, and has been recuperating here for a long time, and has lived in a castle built for generations. The middle clan is the samurai family Utsunomiya clan in Kyushu, and the middle family has existed as a subordinate of the Bungo Kunidaitomo family in the past dynasties.

Even when the Otomo family and the Shimazu family rose later, the middle clan was still under the leadership of the middle commander, and took the Miyagii town house as the head of the Kyushu Uto lineage, and never changed its subordination.

It was not until the 15th year of Tensho (1587 AD) that Toyotomi Hideyoshi began a conquest of Kyushu against the Shimazu clan at the invitation of Otomo Sorin, and after successfully defeating the Shimazu clan and forcing the Shimazu clan to submit, he rewarded the six prefectures of Toyozen Province to the Kuroda clan, who had great merit, and made them his skills.

Kuroda Kanwei was a man of great resourcefulness, although he was dissatisfied that he had only acquired such a small part of the land, when he clearly knew that this was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's defense against him.

He knew that he needed to behave honestly in Kyushu, and he couldn't let Toyotomi Hideyoshi kill him, and at the same time he had to be prepared for himself, so after Kuroda Kanbei entered the Toyozen country, he was very kind to the wealthy clans and people under his command.

Under the goodwill policy of Kuroda Vocational High School, although most of the wealthy families and countrymen were somewhat dissatisfied with belonging to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's side, they were at least able to live with peace of mind, so in the end they surrendered more honestly. Including the city well town house that was dissatisfied because of the change later, and as the middle commander under his command. Because the attitude of the middle commander seems to be very good, Kuroda is a guarantor, so that he can continue to keep the territory of Ichido Castle.

Because of the "Ogura colored paper" incident in the territory of the vermilion and the Fujiwara family, the castle town took the lead in launching a rebellion against the forces of the Toyotomi family, and in this case, the middle toshi, as a descendant of the famous Utsunomiya clan, made a very difficult, but very correct decision for the middle family.

He carried his master, Joi Zhenfang, and secretly sent an envoy to the Kuroda family to swear allegiance to the Kuroda clan. Later, when the Kuroda family attacked his relative Yamada Daizensuke Hui family, in the face of the cage castle of the Yamada Hui family, as the shadow son of the Kuroda family, he took the initiative to cooperate with the Kuroda family's strategy for Yamada Castle, which led to the fall of Yamada Castle, and at the same time made him himself reused by Kuroda Takataka.

At this time, in the face of the menacing attack of the Kuroda family, the gates of Ogura Castle were closed. Because he has been protected and blessed by the Otomo family for a long time, the middle Tongyin decided to die in Okura Castle for the Otomo family even if he dies this time.

As the first fortified castle in the Rescue Prefecture, Kokura Castle is a castle with Honmaru, Ninomaru, two Yashiki Genban, a grain warp, a well water warp, and Rokudobori. Such a castle was difficult to conquer anywhere in the Warring States period.

The middle commander brought all his own horses in Ichigashi to Kokura Castle, and there were more than one hundred and fifty people. In addition, as soon as he knew that the Kuroda family had landed in Toyozen Province, he had already gathered all the sturdy young men around him into Ogura Castle, and obtained more than 200 people (most of them had been pulled by Otomo Sorin to fight the Kuroda family). In addition, nearly a hundred relatively strong women in the vicinity were also pulled into the city together as the strength to defend the city at the last moment.
