Before dawn, Yoshigan and more than 280 people had arrived at the Hachiman Shrine south of Kokufudai.
The concubines drove the witch priestess to the main hall to guard her to prevent the news from leaking out. Then Yiyin gently comforted her and offered a certain amount of money to worship the gods. The leader of the club became honest.
Yiyin did not reveal his identity clearly, but asked the ladies to take the time to rest and wait for dawn.
And he himself pulled Ii Naomasa, Hojo Yasunari, Hojo Yasuzune and others to match the intelligence provided by the confidentiality team with the map and analyze the direction of the raid.
Yiyin pointed at the map and said.
"There are several hills in the area around Kokufudai, and Bosou's coalition forces are stationed at various locations. The center is the Satomi Yoshihiro main formation at Kokufudai.
In front of Hachiman Shrine where we are, there is Mount Shinma to the west and Sawada to the east, both of which are hills and mountains.
At Mount Shinma, there were Masaki Tokitada, Toki Noriharu and other important ministers and senior generals, while in Sawada there were Shinobu Shinato, Takeda Toyonobu and other Bosou Princess Takeda girls.
I intend to break through from Masaki Toki and point directly at Satomi Yoshihiro of Kokufudai. What do you think? "
Hojo Yasuzhong said doubtfully.
"Bossou Takeda has always been dissatisfied with the Satomi family and was forced to succumb to Satomi Yoshihiro's silver power. Why don't we open the gap from Sawada's side? It should be easier here, right?"
Guanbazhou has been in chaos for more than a hundred years, and the Fangzong Peninsula is also in turmoil, making it impossible to live in peace.
The main bodies of the Boso peninsula are Anbo country and Shimoso country. Among them, Anbo country is small and weak, and the local Satomi family has always wanted to develop to the upper country.
The Satomi family's biggest rival in the Boso Peninsula is the Boso Takeda family, who comes from a well-known family.
One hundred years ago, Takeda Nobunaga of the Kai Takeda family served in the Ashikaga Shogun family and made great military exploits. Later, he transferred to the Kamakura Ashikaga family and made new achievements. He became famous for a while.
As a result, Takeda Nobunaga was favored by the Kamakura Ashikaga family, and was able to entrust Kantō, independent of the Kai Takeda family, and establish his own family.
The Kanto shogun originally wanted to entrust Takeda Nobunaga to Sagami country, but as the conflict between the Kamakura Ashikaga family of the Kanto shogunate and the Uesugi family led by the Kanto lord became increasingly fierce.
The power of the Uesugi family in the Upper Kingdom has become a thorn in the side of the Kanto General.
Takeda Nobunaga volunteered to go to the Bosou Peninsula to relieve the Kanto generals, so he led 500 cavalry into the Kingdom of Kamisou and divided the two cities of Mariya and Tonan.
Her two descendants are the Maritani family and the Shominami Takeda family, collectively known as the Boso Takeda family.
As the Bosou Takeda family drove away the Uesugi forces, their own strength increased greatly, which aroused the fear of the Masaki family and the Toki family, the famous families of Uesuguni.
In the upper part of the country, the western part is the territory of the Boso Takeda family. In the northern part of the east there is the local powerful samurai Sakai, in the central part is headed by Toki, and in the southern part is headed by Masaki, each of them has their own affairs.
After Satomi Yoshihiro unified Anbo Country, he tried to win over the descendants of Sakai, Toki, and Masaki to fight against Bosou Takeda.
She first married the son of the Masaki family, and then took the Masaki family into her pocket, encroaching on the southern part of the country.
Then after the death of the son of the Masaki family, he married the son of the Toki family, the son of Toki Mori, and became closer to the Toki family.
Coupled with the constant internal strife between Boso Takeda and Boso Takeda, especially the succession war of the Maritani family, the Hojo family and the Satomi family each supported one side, which led to the gradual decline of Boso Takeda due to internal consumption.
During this expedition, the Satomi family coerced all the families in the upper kingdom to act together, including Marigaya, Tominami Takeda, Masaki, Toki, and Sakai, all of whom mobilized their efforts.
There were 12,000 Fangzong's coalition forces surrounding Taicheng, the national capital. Among them, 6,000 were from Satomi's family members, and the remaining 6,000 were from Shangzong's families.
Although Satomi Yoshiyao has used both soft and hard tactics to win over Anfang Shangsou and both countries, the Satomi family's strength is limited, and the surrender of each Shangsong family is not sincere.
The Hojo family has a clear understanding of the situation on the Boso Peninsula and has been wooing local prominent families to resist the rule of the Satomi family.
Therefore, Hojo Yasutane didn't understand why Yoshibank didn't find a breakthrough from Boso Takeda and his family?
The Boso Takeda family has the most alienated relationship with the Satomi family and will never fight for Satomi Yoshihiro. They are the easiest way to break in.
Before Yoshigan spoke, Ii Naomasa on the side had already sneered and said sarcastically.
"Toki Masaki, who is stationed at Mount Shinma, is a veteran of the Satomi family and has a closer relationship with Satomi Yoshihiro.
If we launch a surprise attack from the Boso Takeda family of Sawada, after the enemy forces in Mt. Shinma react, they will definitely fully support Yoshihiro Satomi and send troops to fight us to the end.
On the contrary, it is not true.
If we were to break into Mount Shinma and fight fiercely with the main force of the Sato family, the Takeda family, the boss of Sawada, would definitely hesitate and wait, and the pressure we would face would be much less.
After abandoning our war horses and armaments and marching all night, we were already very short of weapons and physical strength.
Although the enemy army has just finished celebrating and is tired and relaxed, we are not much better and can only fight in one battle.
At dawn, we must kill through the enemy's formation as soon as possible and attack the government platform. The longer we delay, the less likely we are to win. Therefore, saints must avoid the weak and choose the strong.
It is most beneficial to us only to make breakthroughs in one go and see the main force, triggering a wait-and-see mood among various companies to protect themselves.
Don’t you understand such a simple truth? Do you still need a saint to explain it to you? "
Ii Naomasa was furious, but Hojo Yasuzhong nodded in silence.
Ever since he crossed the river, Ii Naomasa's face has never looked better, and his temper has become worse and worse.
As a close confidant of Konoe, Ii Naomasa's mentality exploded when he saw Yoshihiro in danger but could do nothing about it, and he didn't like anyone at the moment.
Hojo Yasuzhong didn't care. He asked himself, if this matter happened to him, he would definitely be in a worse mood than Ii Naomasa.
Yoshigan personally led Hojo Yasunari and Hojo Yasunari across the river, walking side by side with the Hojo Young Faction.
The Hojo girls were already extremely excited. The previous unhappiness had long since disappeared. At this moment, they could only feel grateful.
Ii Naomasa was worried about the saint's safety and made rude remarks, but the Hojo girls didn't care.
On the contrary, Yoshiyin glared at Ii Naomasa and was very dissatisfied with her inexplicable anger towards others.
Ii Naomasa was stared at by Yoshigan, he pursed his lips and lowered his head, feeling unhappy. Just because she couldn't blame the saint, she would get angry at others and become incompetent and furious.
Since ancient times, how can there be any reason for a holy king to come to the front line in person and lead two to three hundred people to attack the enemy's position? Are all the generals under his command dead?
Yiyin moved out too quickly this time, catching all his important officials off guard, and Naomasa Ii, the only one around him, could not hold him back.
But Ii Naomasa had already made up his mind. After returning, he must report to the important officials of Kamao clan and Shiba family, and he would never give the saint a chance to act recklessly in the future.
Yoshigan didn't know at this moment that Ii Naomasa had a treasonous idea in his heart and wanted to join forces with Shiba Zhuji to restrict his actions.
He just looked at the sky and said.
"It's almost dawn. Let's check our swords, guns and bags and get ready to go."
"Hi!"
———
In the woods at the foot of Mt. Shinma, Yoshigan looked at the fireworks on the hill in front of him. It was the bonfire that had just been extinguished after celebrating all night long last night.
The straight-line distance between Guofudai and Mount Shinma is only 800 meters. Even including the up and down slopes over the hills, it does not exceed 1,500 meters.
The darkest hour before dawn has arrived, and the more than 280 Ji warriors who marched all night are exhausted.
They only had simple swords and guns in their hands. In order to march across the river, they had removed their knee pads and elbow pads from their hoods, making them look completely mutilated.
Yiyin looked at the concubines behind him and straightened his back. There was no need to cover up his tracks at this moment, let's do it!
He raised his spear and pointed at the fence in front of the camp, making the final mobilization.
"Yesterday at this time, you were very ambitious and wanted to prove yourself, but you suffered a setback.
Your sisters lie dead on the battlefield, and you are defeated like zombies! They lost their lives and you lost your dignity!
In front of us, your enemies have just finished celebrating that they easily defeated you, took off your sisters' accessories, and completely trampled your dignity under their feet!
At this moment, we are here with fatigue, and we only have incomplete weapons and equipment in our hands, but I still firmly believe that we will defeat them!
Because no one wants to win more than you! No one is more willing to sacrifice one's life than you!
March forward with me! You need to let them know that there is no way they can defeat you! It is impossible to trample on your dignity without paying the price!
Kill them! Kill Satomi Yoshihiro! Go and take back your victory and your dignity!
Sisters! Follow me! "
Yiyin's not-so-loud voice echoed in the silent forest and reached everyone's ears.
All the Ji warriors were so excited that they were trembling. They had forgotten the fatigue of the night. They tightly grasped the spears in their hands and breathed rapidly.
Yoshigan was the first to step forward, followed by Naomasa Ii and Kanade Tachibana. Then came Kirikage Saizo, Sanada Rin, and Nagano Yamori, and the six formed a small formation headed by Yoshigan and advanced.
Then, Hojo Yasunari is on the left, Hojo Yasuge is on the right, and the wing is behind them. All the Hojo Princess warriors formed a dense formation, with Yoshigami in the lead, forming a sharp arrow formation, and walked out of the forest one after another.
Yoshigan's pace slowly accelerated, and the Ashigaru who stayed behind to watch were obviously at a loss when they saw the sudden appearance of the Hime Warriors.
"Who! Tell me your name! Don't come close! Stop! Otherwise, you will release arrows! Stop!!"
Yoshigage ignored Ashigaru's warning and walked faster and faster.
The celebrations in the camp had just ended and everyone was resting. The ashigaru who was left behind obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. Just as she hesitated, a large group of people had already approached.
Yiyin suddenly picked up speed in the last ten meters, and his brisk walking turned into running, and he rushed towards the fence.
The enemy Ashigaru who was watching finally saw the truth in front of him and howled in despair.
"Enemy attack!"
Yiyin shouted.
"kill!"
Zhu Ji behind him followed and shouted.
"kill!!!"
On both sides, Ii Naomasa and Tachibana Kanade were faster than Yoshigami, rushing in front of him, ready to help him block arrows at any time.
Hojo Yasunari and Hojo Yasunari rushed forward with a tacit understanding, bypassing Yoshigan and pounced on him. The brigade of warrior warriors wrapped Yoshigan and fought towards the enemy camp together.
Before the ashigaru left behind by the enemy could shout a second time, a spear had already struck from the air, piercing her neck and nailing her to the fence behind her.
Ji Ji, who was running, put his shoulder pads in front of him and hit the fence directly without slowing down.
In the makeshift camp, the wooden stakes were not driven deep enough, and the impact of seven or eight strong women with armor on them instantly blew away the fence and rushed into the camp.
The Hime warriors on duty around them rushed over with the ashigaru, but were scattered by the incoming Hojo Hime warriors. The leading Hime warrior was killed, and the Ashigaru fled in all directions.
The next few people threw their torches to the surrounding tents and grain, and then threw the water bottles on their waists.
A strong smell of alcohol flowed out of the broken pot. This was the spirit offered to the gods at Hachiman Shrine and was collected specifically for setting fires.
The first ray of sunshine in the east has already bloomed, reflecting the vastness of the earth.
The enemy troops in the camp that had just rested were so dizzy from the surprise attack that they had no idea what was going on, let alone organizing a counterattack.
Yoshigami and his men were not willing to fight, they ran all the way and set fires. In a moment, they broke through the camp and headed towards Satomi Yoshihiro's main formation at Kokufudai.
The assault was from the southwest to the northeast, facing the direct sunlight, which was not conducive to combat, so we had to leave quickly.
But it was different after they broke through the camp. After Yiyin and others fought their way out from the northeast of Zhenjian Mountain, they turned around and turned to the west to reach Guofutai.
The sun rises in the east, erupting with intense light and heat behind Yoshigan, so that the enemies of Kokufudai must fight with their backlight to meet the Hojo raiding team that rushes from east to west.
Which one is better at raiding the enemy camp? Backlit Dawn Grass Nima!
