Satomi Yoshihiro's heart was pounding, and he was so anxious that he kept cheering himself up.
But in fact, her camp was not that easy to break. Yiyin, who was attacking, kept cursing her mother in her heart.
Yoshihiro also saw a ghost. It was obviously just a temporary station, but Satomi Yoshihiro's main formation was built as a standard field camp. How afraid of death is this grandson?
Surrounded by Bosou's coalition forces, Satomi Yoshihiro did not forget to make the temporary station so impregnable. Who was she guarding against?
The internal vigilance of Boso's coalition forces made Satomi Yoshihiro always cautious, but this time it was a blessing in disguise, and he lost a lot of money.
Not to mention the layout of the surrounding ashigaru camps, just the layout of the Satomi main formation cannot be broken through in a short while.
A trench was dug on the outside. Although it was less than one meter deep, it was connected to the water source and turned into a river protection. The towering fence is two and a half meters long, leaving only the front and rear hanging rails to communicate between the inside and outside.
There are watchtowers at the four corners, and a circle of houses where Hatamoto lives surrounds the main formation. From a distance, you can't even see the curtain in the center. How can anyone fight?
In the first wave of attacks at dawn, the Hojo soldiers quickly broke through the camp and came to Satomi Yoshihiro's main formation. However, they were helpless against the solid camp in front of them and were forced back by the bowmen on the watchtower.
Yiyin pointed at the chaotic outer camp behind him and shouted.
"Go back! Find bows, arrows and equipment!"
"Hi!"
The Satomi army celebrated all night, but at this moment they were thrown into chaos by the Hojo people. The ashigaru who bombed the camp were running around. Occasionally, the Satomi warriors appeared to organize, but they were also besieged and killed by the tight formation of the Hojo people.
It was not difficult to find the ordnance, but at this moment, the sound of marching conchs sounded from the outside.
Yiyin looked into the distance through the slope of the mountain. The camps were not far apart, all within one kilometer.
To the south, Mount Shinma, which had just been broken through by Yoshigan, reacted the fastest. Generals such as Masaki Toki and other Satomi had already gathered their troops and came towards the main formation for reinforcements.
Yoshigage gritted his teeth, and his dream of attacking Satomi Yoshihiro's main formation in one fell swoop was shattered, and he was already in a situation where he was being attacked from both sides.
He ordered decisively.
"Arima Ji Samurai will follow me out of the battle! The rest will continue to search for ordnance and suppress the enemy forces in the camp!"
"Hi!"
There was great chaos in the camp, the war horses were scattered, and more than thirty of them were robbed by Yiyin's men.
Yoshigan took the lead and rushed towards the reinforcements' formation flag, followed closely behind by Naomasa Ii and Kanade Tachibana. The warriors with horses galloped and followed.
Hojo Yasunari glanced at Hojo Yasunari and shouted.
"I will lead people to search for ordnance, and you continue to disrupt the military camp. Don't let them organize themselves!"
"Saint! What should the saint do?"
"Believe in the saint! We must believe in the saint!"
———
The first reinforcement of the enemy army opposite Yiyin was led by Masaki Tokishige who passed through his camp.
When the camp was penetrated, Satomi Yoshihiro sent an envoy to rebuke Masaki Tokishige. Masaki Tokimo was so angry that he took his daughter Masaki Nobushige with him. He immediately gathered more than a hundred people and rushed to increase the number of troops in the main camp as soon as possible.
Seeing more than thirty cavalry rushing towards him, Masaki Tokimo gave the order calmly.
"Line up in formation! Come forward with rifles!"
How could Yiyin give them a chance to form an array, shouted.
"Arrow! Don't let them form a formation!"
A dozen Ji warriors behind him straightened up and shot with the bows and arrows they had just snatched.
The bows and arrows from different sources had different materials and shot at different distances, but they were enough to interrupt the enemy's formation and buy time for Yiyin to break into the enemy's formation.
In order to avoid the bows and arrows, the spearmen of Masaki's army were in chaos, and were instantly rushed out of the way by the knights on horseback.
Yoshigage's eyes flashed, he opened his killing mode, and swiped his gun horizontally. The tip of the gun hit five enemy ashigaru, and three of them fell instantly.
Masaki Nobushige, who was holding the battle, was furious and wanted to make gestures with Yoshihiro before he hit the horse.
"Who is here! Masaki Nobushige is asking you for advice!"
Yoshigan whipped the horse's buttocks, spurring the horse's speed, and passed Masaki Nobushige. His spear swept across her hands, arms, and waist, and the carbine tapped her back again.
I don't know which moment triggered the fatal effect. Masaki Nobumo's vision went dark instantly and he fell off his horse.
Ii Naomasa jumped off his horse, cut off Masaki Nobushige's head, and threw it to Yoshigage on the horse.
Yoshigan held Masaki Nobushige's head high with one hand and pulled up the reins with the other hand. The horse roared and leaped high with its front hooves, attracting the attention of the surrounding people.
"Masaki Nobushige has been begged by Shiba Yiyin!"
When the Ashigaru people saw that the general who was holding the battle was killed in battle, they dispersed in a hurry. Masaki Tokishige had no time to feel the pain of losing his daughter, and was frightened by Yoshigan's declaration.
Spo Yiyin? saint!
Ii Naomasa jumped on his horse and Yoshigan shouted.
"Raise the flag! Charge again!"
Naomasa Ii took down two flags from behind his horse, placed one behind his horse, and threw the other to Tachibana. The two flags were spread out and fluttering in the sunshine.
When Masaki Tokimo saw the Yubai flag and the Yanxin flag, his body couldn't help but tremble.
"What a saint!"
Seeing that Yoshigan had captured the opponent's general holding the battle in one fell swoop, the morale of the Hojo men was greatly boosted. They followed up and killed more than a hundred of Masaki Tokimo's men until they ran away with their heads covered.
Yoshigami rushed straight towards Masaki Tokishige's formation flag, frightening Masaki Tokishiro and turned around and ran away.
Just as she was about to escape, Yiyin heard that familiar roar again. I saw Tokimo Masaki being shot in the back, holding the horse's head and not daring to let go, vomiting blood and running away.
Yoshigan looked to his side in anger, and it turned out to be Tachibana Kanade and her three-eyed gun.
Yiyin shouted, his ears still ringing.
"How did you cross the river with a firearm!"
Tachibana Kanade, whose ears were also hurt by the roar, shouted in reply.
"Wrap it in oil paper! The gunpowder is not wet!"
Yiyin was speechless at this guy who was obsessed with firearms and could only shake his head.
"Grass! Cow b!"
Just as the two were shouting, Ii Naomasa had dismounted again and pushed down Masaki Tokishige's formation flag. Seeing the general's formation flag fall, Masaki's army lost the will to fight and scattered in all directions.
But before Yiyin could take a breath, a new sound of conch came from the camp in the south, and two groups of people who had just gathered were walking out of the camp.
Yiyin cursed.
"It's not over yet! Ji, you still have the strength to kill the enemy with me!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The more than 30 cavalrymen from Hojo ignored the scattered troops and gathered around Yoshigan again, and continued their efforts to follow the Yubai Banner to the south.
———
Those who had just come down from Mount Shinma were the subordinates of Masaki Tokitada and Toki Noriharu. Both of them were veteran generals of the Satomi family and had outstanding achievements.
After a night of carnival, the men and horses in each camp were woken up just after falling asleep, their hands and feet were weak and drowsy.
The two of them beat and scolded each other, and finally managed to gather a few hundred people to go out into the formation, only to see Masaki Tokishige's formation flag fall down.
Masaki Tokimo was hit with a three-eyed musket in the back and was in pain. She hugged the horse's head tightly, gritted her teeth and refused to fall. She finally managed to hold on until she was in front of the friendly forces, and then she let go and fell to the ground.
Masaki Tokitada stepped forward and hugged Masaki Tokio. Seeing that her face was pale and her breath was weak, she shouted.
"Doctor! Get the doctor quickly!"
Masaki Tokimo held her arm tightly, spitting out a mouthful of blood, choking and coughing.
"Holy... holy... little... heart!"
After holding back the last word, Masaki Tokio fainted.
Masaki Tokitada didn't know why, but Toki Noriharu was already shouting reminders.
"Formation! Formation! The enemy is coming!"
Masaki Tokitada looked up and saw that more than 30 enemy cavalry scattered in the distance who were chasing the defeated troops gathered again and resolutely charged towards his own army formation of several hundred people.
Picking up the unconscious Masaki Tokishige and handing him to Hatamoto to take care of, the others quickly ran back to the formation to prepare for the battle.
Masaki Tokitada, who was walking towards Toki Noriharu, suddenly noticed a confused, puzzled, and then frightening look on the other person's face.
Masaki Tokitada, who was confused, turned around and saw the giant man in white clothes leading the way, with two flags behind him fluttering in the wind.
Masaki Tokitada lost his voice.
"Royal white flag? Saint!"
Masaki Tokitada and Toki Noriharu looked at each other and saw the deep fear in each other's eyes, and shouted at the same time.
"Hurry up and form a formation! All Ji warriors are approaching me! Get to the front and press forward with your spears! Hurry up!"
Looking down from the sky, Yiyin led more than thirty cavalry to charge, the horses' hooves kicked up billowing dust, and they moved forward indomitably.
Opposite him, an enemy force ten times his size looked like a formidable enemy, trembling and huddled together, like poor prey being hunted.
The power of Hess means conquering without fighting! (End of chapter)
