In Inami Town, it was not surprising that Yoshigami Shiba encountered the fierce formation of Ichigo Sect and refused to stop the horse.
Further south is Ruiquan Temple. He approached there twice and escaped from the encirclement by attacking in the east and west. No matter how stupid Yi Xiangzong is, he should know how to guard against him coming a third time.
So, he turned from southwest to northwest, intending to pass through Fukuno and reach the Koyabe River. He had walked this road in a circle last time, and he was familiar with the roads.
In the south of Higashinojiri Village, there is a raised soil slope, which quickly passes through Fukuno.
By the time the Yin cavalry arrived on the slope, flags were already flying at the foot of the slope, and there were countless Buddhist flags and banners bearing letters to Namo Amitabha.
Yiyin was stunned on the spot. The continuous sound of conchs sounded down the slope, and a conch was blown up and floated into the distance.
He turned around and looked around. Sand and dust were flying along the way, and the roar of people was already blocking the rear.
The armies on both sides of the northwest were waiting for him coldly, with the blocked road behind them. Only the southwest side has thin troops.
An idea came to Yiyin's mind, surrounding three buildings.
Behind him, Kawada Changqin stepped forward and reminded him.
"Otaisuo, you can't go southwest.
The enemy troops are sparse, but they are well organized, and there must be horse traps wherever there is space. "
Yiyin nodded.
He looked into the distance and saw the horse seals hanging high in front of him like a series of lanterns, which should be the main formation of Yori Teru Shimoma. This bastard is really ruthless. He put his army here and bet that Yiyin will go this way.
Yiyin thought bitterly that she had really won the bet. he said decisively.
"Change horses, break out with all your strength, and let's go back."
A group of people quickly changed their horses, no longer saving horsepower, and galloped backwards. The intention was to escape from the encirclement before the way in was completely blocked.
There was a commotion in the Xiang Zong army behind them, and several mobile horses were carried to the front of the formation. The bows and arrows were thrown by the crowd, and they were not stingy, forming a rain of arrows outside the range.
Kamaojigo shouted from Yoshigin's side.
"Odaisho! No! They have gathered too many bows and arrows, and we can't rush through!"
Yiyin gritted his teeth and waved to indicate that the cavalry was outside the effective killing range of the arrow and turned back. Even so, the thrown arrows still hit several war horses, and then fell to the ground whining.
Xiang Zong gathered a large number of bowmen and arrows to deter them from a distance at any cost, just to force the cavalry back. Yiyin had to lead the cavalry back to the slope and faced Yi Xiangzong's military formation.
Shiba Yiyin pointed at the gap between the southwest trap and the northwest army formation and shouted.
"Let's rush over!"
———
In the distance, there is the shogunate of Yixiang Sect. Shimoma Yoritake looked at the black spots on the hillside with a smile on her lips.
"Command down, no arrows allowed. Use gun array to round up, I want to capture them alive!"
From the moment Shiba Yoshiyin turned around, Yoriteru Shimoma already knew.
Sibo Yiyin, even if you are unparalleled in the world, you will fall into my trap this time.
———
Time goes back to before Shiba Yiyin was besieged, Higashiyama saw the village.
Jiang Ma Huisheng shook his head, speechless. She just wanted to scare the local Yixiang Zong, attract nearby military forces, and distract attention for Shiba Yiyin's breakthrough.
I didn't expect this place to be so empty and almost unguarded. Where has all the military power gone? Is it in Sangu in the north?
Ema Huisei was hesitant, not knowing whether to return to Hida Country or continue north to Mitani to attract the enemy's attention.
While she was hesitating, Naomasa Ii dragged a nun to her. The short girl pulled a plump white nun, which looked a bit ridiculous.
The nun was so frightened that she rolled into a ball and almost rolled over. Ii Naomasa, who was pushing and pulling hard next to him, was panting.
Jiang Ma Huisheng wanted to laugh, but still held back and asked.
"Iiji, what's going on?"
Ii Naomasa was the person who was specially entrusted by Yoshihiro Shiba before leaving, and Ema Huiseng had to pay attention to her.
The little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and said solemnly.
"Lord Jiangma, this is the nun stationed in the village. Please listen to her statement.
Thief Ni! Say what you just said to this adult again! hurry up! "
The nun clasped her hands together and kept bowing.
"Sir, I am just a little nun, and the matter of fighting with the Wu family is really not something I can decide.
Just let me go! I still have some small gold coins and Yongle Tongbao in my Buddhist temple in the village, which I treat as my filial piety to all the Ji Warriors. "
Ii Naomasa glared and cursed.
"Who told you to say this!"
She pulled out half of the beating knife, which frightened the nun into kowtowing repeatedly.
“All the nearby troops were sent to Higashinojiri, saying they were rounding up the nobles.
Mitani is guarded by the Shiina family, and on the other side of Inami are the nuns from Zuisen Temple. The manpower from other villages has gone to Higashinojiri, and the nearby villages have been evacuated!
Sir, spare your life, I told you! "
Jiang Ma Huisheng's pupils shrank, thinking about the nearby terrain in his mind, and shouted.
"not good!"
Yori Zhao didn't expect anyone from her Jiangma family to come, thinking that Shiba Yiyin had less than a hundred people under his command. Therefore, the nearby villages did not deploy much military force, and only defended Mitani with the rebellion of the samurai family of the Shiina family.
Jiang Ma Huisheng had some regrets.
If he had known this, he should have gone north with Shiba Yiyin. Breaking through the obstructions of Dongshan Jian and Sangu, he went directly back to Fufu County.
Shiba Yoshiyin and himself both misjudged, and so did Yoriteru Shimoma. The two sides speculated back and forth, but Yoriteru Shimoma succeeded, and Yoshigan Shiba would probably run into Higashinojiri's ambush.
Ii Naomasa said anxiously.
"Lord Jiangma, we must notify the imperial office immediately and we cannot let her rush into the trap."
Jiang Ma Huisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"There are one man and three horses on the other side of the imperial palace. There is no way we can catch up with him. Even if we catch up, we have already entered an ambush."
She turned to ask the nun.
"Where did Yoriteru Shimama set up the ambush?"
"Shiritarizaka in the southern part of Higashinojiri."
Jiang Ma Huisheng frowned, knowing that Sibo Yiyin would probably not be able to escape this disaster.
Shiba Yiyin's cavalry headed southwest and encountered obstacles at Jingbo, and their whereabouts had been exposed. It was impossible for him to go back to the upper reaches of Zhuangchuan River and waste time again and again. Taking advantage of the trend and rushing northwest is the best strategy.
But this best strategy was decided by Shimoma Yorikaze. When the two armies face each other in a game, the loser must admit it and pay the price.
Ema Huisheng was still thinking about something on his mind, but Ii Naomasa was already worried and shouted.
"Lord Ema, we must go to Shiritari Saka immediately to rescue Odaisho!"
Jiang Ma Huisheng lowered his head to think about something and ignored her. In her eyes, Ii Naomasa is just a child. For the sake of Shiba Yigen's face, she just takes more care of him on weekdays.
Jiangma Huisheng really doesn't want to get involved in the current situation, let alone listen to a child's orders.
Dongshanjian Village is not far from the mountain pass, and she can retreat into the mountains at any time. Jiang Ma's army is all from mountain people, and walking on the mountain road is like walking on flat ground. Xiang Zong has always been unable to hold her.
But if you go to Higashinojiri, you are dozens of miles away from the mountains. A group of people rushed there in a hurry and were already half dead from exhaustion.
Even if they join forces with Spo Yiyin, they will still fall into the encirclement. This is not rescue, this is food delivery.
