"The two adults must also know the current situation, the current situation is urgent, so I won't talk nonsense, at the moment we need to face five thousand people led by the Otomo family, I don't know what the two adults and Goto-sama think?" Imate Yukiyoshi asked.

"There's no good way to do it down there." Goto Kikuni said honestly.

If he had a way to defeat his opponent, he would have said it along the way, and he wouldn't have to wait until now. Goto Kikuni knew from his son Matabei that these two teenagers took good care of him and had always been sincere to each other, so he didn't have any ill will towards the two teenagers, and even admired these two children very much. Especially Akashi Junden, because this child made him feel the shadow of his eldest son.

"This ...... With such a difference in numbers, it is difficult for the family to defeat the opponent head-on, and the terrain here is narrow and broken, making it even more difficult to start a big battle. ”

"What about Kurou Uemon?" Iteki asked with a smile.

He knew that among all the people in the Kuroda family here, only this young man had the highest level of resourcefulness, and if he didn't have any way, then he could really only fight head-on first, and if he couldn't win, he would do something about it.

Inoue Nobo smiled and said, "Actually, Akashi has already said it just now. ”

"Ahh Akashi Junden looked at Inoue Nobo with his mouth open, "When did I say that?" Didn't I say it would be difficult to fight the Otomo family? ”

"I see, I know what you mean." At this time, Goto Kikuni laughed, he really admired the young man Inoue now.

"What I just said...... Just now...... I did...... Oh! So that's the case, why didn't I think of it? Akashi Junden also laughed at this time.

It seems that Iute Yukiyo gathered everyone, but in the end, he himself didn't know the meaning of Inoue's house.

As we have said repeatedly, the land of the Ryokari family is a terrain of many mountains and ravines, and the terrain is cut by rolling hills, so it is extremely fragmented and has many valleys. With such a terrain, it is difficult to carry out agricultural production, and the biggest income is actually the abundant timber resources in the mountains, so the economy is withering.

Such land is not conducive to agricultural production and economic development, but it is itself an easy and difficult place to defend. At that time, the Ryoshika family was able to rely on the terrain advantage of this land to resist the attack of the Shimazu family, so would the people of the Kuroda family, who didn't know how powerful the Ryoshika family was, be worse than the people of the Ryoshika family?

The general of the attack on the land to which the Kuroda family belonged, Usuki Zhenxu, the official name Anfang Mamoru, the important minister of the Otomo clan, Chikuzen Kunishima County, Kazushi Castle Castle.

The Usuki clan is a branch of the Horyudo sub-clan of the Daimyo Otomo clan of Bungo Province, so it is also a clan of the Otomo clan (there is also a controversial theory that the Usuki clan is the main family, and the Otomo family, the Toji family, the Saeki family, and the Yoshinoshi family are the clans and tribes).

After the death of his elder brother Kensu, Usuki Zhenxu was assigned by Otomo Sorin, and became the head of the wealthy clan and the countrymen of Chikuzen Kunishoma County, and ruled this place.

During his tenure, he monitored and guarded against the autumn moon planting, participated in the construction of the water conservancy project of the Boshu Hori in the Hakata Mikasa River, and excavated fertile fields in the surrounding area, making a place rich.

In addition, during the previous invasion of Kyushu by the Mori family, Usuki continued to defend in Hakata and defeated the Mori family, and he also made outstanding contributions to the development of Hakata Town.

In history, Utsukizhen continued to be a general, and with Otomo Sorin, he finally died in Erchuan, but this fierce general of the Otomo family has no heirs of his own in his life, which is an embarrassing thing.

Usuki Zhenxu's younger brother Usuki Jiansu, the third male of the Otomo family's important minister Usuki Changjing, whose real name is Usuki Jianjing, Usuki Town continues to grow up in the military, and as a younger brother, Usuki Jiansu has shown his strengths in diplomacy and trade, and is relied on by Otomo Sorin, and he also has outstanding points in strategy and courage.

Usuki Jiansu is a famous military general in the Warring States period of Japan, as Otomo Yoshikan, Otomo Yoshijin (Sorin) two generations have been reused, Usuki Jiansu is active in many aspects of foreign affairs and domestic affairs, and his brother Usuki Zhenxu is the same official in the Otomo family.

In the eighth year of astronomy (A.D. 1539), the son of the Otomo family, the master of the Shio Shi Maru (Otomo Sorin) Yuanfu, was given by the general Ashikaga Yoshiharu to deflect the word "righteousness", named Otomo Yoshizhen, for which the lord Otomo Yoshikan specially repaired the book to return the gift, and the young diplomatic practitioner Usuki Kanjing brought a sword, horse, gold and other heavy gifts to Yoshiharu. Later, in the sixteenth year of Astronomy, he facilitated a marriage alliance with the daimyo of Shikoku Isshiki Yoshiharu, and let Otomo Yoshijin marry the daughter of Isshiki Yoshiharu.

After Usuki Jianjing seized the throne in Otomo Town, because he had always supported Otomo Sorin, he was promoted to the important position of the Otomo family in the third year of Hongji, and was called the "Three Elders of Bungo" together with Yoshioka Nagazo and Yoshihiro Kanri, and changed his name from Jianjing to Jiansu.

Usuki's own sister, Yokoin, was also a noble person, the wife of Toji's in-laws, and the stepmother of Toji Kenren (Tachibana Michiyuki), so the Usuki family and the Toji family were close in-laws and allies.

Without further ado, when the Otomo family's army was marching in the mountains, they found that the road in front of them had been blocked by the Kuroda family, and the place where the Kuroda family was blocked happened to be the narrowest place between the two hills.

At this time, there are only two options in front of the Otomo family, the first is to fight a battle with the Kuroda family to open up this road; The second is to outflank the Kuroda family from behind, but this process is likely to take one or two hours, although it is two hills, but the mountains around the two small mountains and rivers are already connected, and it is not very easy to bypass them directly. And it is also possible that this army will go directly down the path, go to the next intersection, and continue to intercept itself.

The distance of a mountain, especially the mountain in the mountains, is definitely not so close as it seems, as long as you have lived in the mountains, friends who have been to the mountains, or friends who like to explore the wilderness should have experienced.

In the end, Usuki decided to let his subordinates pounce head-on first to see the strength of the Kuroda family's defense, because the Kuroda family only looked like they had dispatched hundreds of people. If it was only a few hundred, even if they had the advantage of the terrain, there would be 5,000 people on their side! As long as their defensive intensity is not large, their side still has a chance to completely annihilate this Kuroda family's army.
