Chapter 113 Sending troops to Fengqian Country
At this moment, the Kakukuma Stone Sect, who was originally a little anxious, couldn't believe his eyes. What's going on? Why did the Kuroda family, who had the advantage, retreat?
Now they are in an advantageous situation, if they can continue to hold on like this, it will not be long before the troops behind Kuroda will come to the front line immediately, and even if they can mobilize these 30,000 horses, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Kuroda family's current morale team.
However, the fighters on the battlefield were fleeting, and Kakuma Ishizong didn't dare to think about it, and immediately suggested that Otomo Sorin's entire army should storm the army of the Shikoku Hao clan on the right side of the Kuroda family.
The wealthy clans and countrymen of Shikoku, who were originally happy to kill the enemy, suddenly found out how the Otomo family had increased the pressure on their side, and then saw that the team of Imate Tomotaka on the right had retreated.
Jin Ziyuan Mansion shouted loudly: "The shaft can't conspire." Then he ordered the whole army to retreat.
The Otomo family's army, which was already in trouble, finally completed its strategic goal with the help of Imate Tomotaka, and the 30,000 troops of the Otomo family were basically retained under the desperate retreat of the whole army.
I have to admit that Shigeharu Takenaka played a good game of chess this time, made a wonderful arrangement, and lured the Otomo family step by step to the scene of the Ogawa Battle in history.
But it was because of Ide Tomotaka's personal grudge that the pocket array prepared for the Otomo family was loosened, and the Otomo family was trapped in the sea, resulting in a wrong move by Shigeji Takenaka in the end, and he lost the whole game.
After the statistics after the war, the Dayoujia killed three samurai, and less than 1,000 soldiers were killed and captured, while the Kuroda family's own losses were more than 300 people, mainly because they were killed by the military of Tianbei Zhenzhou at the beginning, and in the end, the people of the four countries lost in the face of the onslaught of the Otomo family.
After this battle, because there were many doubts about the success of the Otomo family in the end, so Imate Tomoshi specially understood the situation at the time, and Imate Tomotaka would have felt apprehensive about this matter, but when Imate Tomoshi knew everything, he did not punish him in any way, and at this time his psychology changed from apprehension to uneasiness.
Imate Tomoshi has always been a very strict person with his children, for example, when he heard that Imate Tomotaka had beaten the two adopted sons of the mother's family, he immediately took Imate Tomotaka to apologize to his mother Kobei and the two children.
Although he also loved his children from time to time, there were some principles that could not be changed. People who are loyal to their principles will be particularly strict, at least in some ways.
And now Imate Tomoshi is completely ignoring Imate Tomotaka's behavior this time, which is a problem. What this represents, Imate Tomotaka knows that this is his father's disappointment in his own withdrawal.
If it's just him as the heir to the Ide family, then it's okay, but the problem is that the Ide family doesn't have more than one heir to him at all, whether it's his adoptive brother Ide Yukiyo, or his own bunch of younger brothers and sisters, they all hope to affect their heir qualifications.
Everything he did was just for the qualification of an heir, and now his father is likely to deprive him of his inheritance qualification because of this matter, how can he not be anxious?
Imate Tomotaka is really panicking now, what the inheritance of the Imate family represents, he himself knows best. The Kuroda family will be a daimyoshi of millions of stone in the future, and the Iride family, as an important part of the Kuroda family, belongs to the important retainers of the Imperial Gate, and will have a wealth of at least 200,000 or 300,000 stone in the future.
Imate Tomotaka has always practiced martial arts diligently, and what is the purpose of studying hard, isn't it just to be able to inherit everything from the Imate family, and then indulge in it.
Before this southern Kyushu expedition, he really behaved very well, and even Kuroda Vocational High School didn't find out what he actually thought, thinking that this cousin was a good heir.
But Imate Tomotaka still ignores one point, that is, will the Kuroda family, which has always been forging ahead, allow the existence of a master of the Goichi family who only knows pleasures? Of course it's impossible, Kuroda Vocational High School will not agree to it first.
In contrast, this time, Imate Tomokiyo listened to the opinions of the people under his command, kept the land before the Ryoshika family, blocked the 5,000 army dominated by the Otomo family, and protected the back road of the Satsuma country and the Iate Tomo's army.
On the other side, Kuroda Vocational High School led 15,000 people (Matsui Shigetaka Army left 3,000 people, led by Kuroda Toshitaka, sitting in Nagato Province), and with the cooperation of the Ming State Navy and the Innoshima Navy Army, it took less than an hour to capture the Otomo family's Monji Port in Bunzen Province.
Immediately after the capture of Moji Port, Kuroda Vocational High School led a large army to attack Tachinari Castle.
Neri Castle was the first important city of the Hozen Kingdom in front of Mojiko, and it was also considered a fortified city in the rescue county, with 300 defenders in the city.
At this time, the main army of the Otomo family had just finished fighting with the Kuroda family at the Ryoda River, because the Kuroda family did not move in the last step, but after the reorganization of the border of Hyuga Province, all of them withdrew to the Satsuma country, so Otomo Sorin, also returned to Bungo Province with his own army of 30,000.
This battle did not have a big impact on the Otomo family, and the main elite soldiers of the Otomo family did not lose much, but because the Kuroda family deliberately blocked the news, the Otomo family did not know that the Kuroda family had landed in the country of Toyozen.
Nesato Castle is a small mountain castle, facing Yanagioura and backed by Mt. Adachi, and the castle is built on the top of a hill on Mt. Adachi, and the castle has only Honmaru and Shidaobori on the ridge, and there are no other defenses.
Such a city, even if it is a strong city, the Kuroda family only sent their own 800 long-range soldiers, and carried out long-range attacks without money. Speaking of which, this trick was learned by Kuroda Vocational High School and later generations of Milliken, who was like a Pacific policeman.
The Kuroda family is now just like Millikan, the owner has incomparable economic strength of other families, and since the economic strength has gone up, then the lives of the Kuroda family's soldiers are also valuable, and the people of the Kuroda family are worth more than the people of other families, and this is the human rights of Kuroda's vocational high school.
It is precisely for this reason that whether it is a field battle or a cage castle (the Kuroda family rarely needs a cage castle), or an attack on others, every time the Kuroda family attacks, it is an advanced long-range attack to ensure that the loss of their own men and horses is minimized.
