Satomi Honbu Formation is a typical samurai field camp from an island nation.
A circle of ditches was dug to pass the water to protect the river. A tall fence separated the inside and outside. The north and south suspension bridges were connected to the outside. Four corner observation towers were used to observe shooting. The temporary house where Hatamoto lived protected the central honba.
Yoshihiro didn't expect that Satomi Yoshihiro would play this trick in the temporary station and live for two days among thousands of troops. How could you come up with such a turtle shell at the level of a great war?
The Hojo people, who abandoned their baggage and crossed the Edogawa River at night, simply couldn't bite off such a turtle shell. Even if they took advantage of the confusion of the Satomi army and found some siege weapons, it was still not enough.
Just when Yiyin was preparing to give up his life as a living doctor and give it a final try, a turning point came.
The Hojo clan came from the south. Satomi Yoshihiro's sister Satomi Tadahiro personally led a clan to defend the south gate suspension bridge, but the north did not slack off either.
Satomi Yoshihiro was determined to defend, not caring about the chaos in the outer camps, he just wanted to defend his own position.
The south gate faced the Hojo crowd led by the saint. Naturally, Yusato Ichimon defended the gate firmly, while the north gate was handed over to the close minister Anzai Shimomoto, lest the saint attack the north gate.
Satomi Yoshihiro still thinks too highly of Yoshihiro. How can he have the strength to attack Beimen now?
Just creating chaos and preventing the enemy troops in the outer camp from reorganizing had already consumed most of the energy of the Hojo people.
Yiyin just wanted to try the south gate again, and couldn't even allocate troops to harass the north gate and distract the defenders.
Despite this, Anzai Shigen still felt like facing a formidable enemy and carefully nailed the north gate.
It was already past morning, and the sun was already halfway toward noon.
Anxi Shigen looked into the distance, wondering why the families in the north had not organized their troops to come to the rescue.
Little did she know that the men in blue had taken the first line of the battle early in the morning, and Mikami Momo and Kito Yua immediately organized the elite Hundred Knight Ji Samurai and went south like crazy to help out and grab the credit.
Although the Boso coalition forces stationed in the north did not suffer much losses, the loss of a long line of work brought them psychological pressure far greater than the actual offensive.
Satomi Yoshihiro stayed behind closed doors and did not inform everyone about the military situation of the loss of Nagasaku's front line.
The disadvantages of this approach have been exposed, and each family has secretly begun to retreat. They are just waiting to see how the situation will change, and are ready to run away at any time, and even worse, like Toqi. .
Anzai Shigen saw a group of men and horses approaching the Satomi camp from afar. He fired an arrow to warn and stopped the visitors from approaching the camp.
At this moment, the military camp was in chaos, and Anzai Shimomoto couldn't tell the difference between friend and foe. He just watched the opponent display the Toki family's family crest flag, and he was dubious.
Several riders rushed out from the opponent's queue, and the leader was Toki Nourii. She shouted towards the north gate.
"I am Toqi, and I have been ordered to come for reinforcements. Pull down the suspension bridge quickly!"
Seeing that it was Toki Noi, Anzai Shimoto felt relieved and shouted.
"Back to Lord Toqi, His Highness has ordered the north gate to be closed tightly. Please also take a detour to the south."
Toki thought that Lai recognized Anzai Shigen, pointed at her and cursed.
"Anxi! The outer camp is in chaos now. Do you want my men and horses to be broken up by the random soldiers and give the enemy a chance to make a surprise attack?
Open the door now! Your Highness, I will explain it to her! It’s not your turn to act like a fox or a tiger! "
Anzai Shigen was very embarrassed and looked down at the furious Toki Noi.
Satomi Yoshiyao married Toki Norayi's son, so Satomi Yoshihiro was Toki Norayi's grandson. He treated Toki Norayi very politely on a daily basis, and Anzai Sanemoto really couldn't afford to offend him.
The other party is an in-law, and can be regarded as one of the allies. This time, she is the fastest to come to support. If Anzai Sanemoto stops her, Toki will make a report on Yori in the future, and Satomi Yoshihiro will not be able to protect her.
Anxi Shiyuan thought for a while and shouted.
"Can I go to His Highness to inquire first?"
Toki Wei Lai sneered.
"You can hear the sounds of charging and killing in the south getting louder and louder. The enemy is organizing a new offensive. I don't know if the south gate can hold on.
Just go ahead and ask. I will settle the matter with you slowly after the war for delaying military intelligence! "
Anxi Shigen listened carefully and saw that the fighting in the south was noisy again. Could it be that the saint had started a new round of offensive?
She was so confused that she gritted her teeth and made up her mind, shouting quickly.
"Don't be upset, Toki-sama, I will get off the suspension bridge and open the door immediately!"
Toki Norayi looked at Anzai Sanemoto, the chief of the castle, giving orders with a gloomy face. He put his hands behind his back and made a few gestures. A group of Ji warriors held their weapons and waited with bated breath.
The suspension bridge slowly lowered, and the door opened. Looking at Toki Yuri who was gradually approaching in the distance, Anzai Shimomoto's heart became more and more uneasy.
She looked carefully at the queue following Toki Norayi. Why was there someone drawing a sword and drawing a bow? The enemy was still in the south.
Anxi Shigen's heart jumped with warning signs, and he shouted suddenly.
"Close the door! Close the door quickly!"
I don’t know where Anzai Mimoto saw the flaw, but Toki Nori would never give her a chance to close the door, so he drew his sword and shouted.
"Honor the saints and eliminate traitors! Heaven will punish the traitors! For the sake of the saints! Charge!"
The Hime Samurai beside her immediately revved up his horse to speed up, and forced the half-opened door open. A large number of ashigaru filed in from behind, and fought with the Satomi army beside the door.
Satoshi saw that most of the troops of this formation were defending the saint on the south side, and there were only a few troops at the north gate.
At this moment, Anzai Shimomoto was filled with regrets. Seeing that he could no longer hold on, he gritted his teeth, called on the left and right to come forward to stop him, and hurriedly ran towards Uchini Yoshihiro.
Satomi Yoshihiro was sitting in the curtain, feeling uneasy when she heard the sounds of fighting at the south gate. Suddenly, the sound of fighting also sounded from the north gate, making her even more panicked.
Suddenly, Anzai Minoru rushed into the curtain, knelt in front of Satomi Yoshihiro, and cried.
"Your Highness, leave quickly! Toki tricked Lai into opening the north gate, but she rebelled!"
Satomi Yoshihiro stood up from the horse, feeling dizzy, and asked repeatedly.
"What's going on! What's going on!"
Anzai Minoru felt extremely regretful. She pulled Satomi Yoshihiro's hem and said anxiously.
"It's all my fault! I was easily tricked by Toki into opening the door for Lai! Your Highness, leave quickly! If you don't leave, it will be too late!"
Satomi Yoshihiro kicked her away and said angrily.
"The south gate is being attacked by saints, and the north gate has been tricked into opening. Where should I go!"
Anxi Shigen was kicked to the ground and immediately got up and shouted.
"Climb the wall! There must be a horse outside the wall! It can help you leave!"
Seeing that Yoshihiro looked uncertain, Anzai Shigen shouted again.
"A strong woman can bend and stretch! Your Highness! If you don't leave, you really won't be able to leave!"
Yoshihiro Satomi roared with a roar like a wounded beast in his throat.
"Let's go! Let's climb out from the east wall!"
"Hi!"
———
South Gate.
Yiyin looked at the situation ahead, shook his head, and sighed.
"You can't get in."
Although the Hojo Young Boys were not afraid of death and used rockets to burn down the suspension bridge and used ladders to climb up the fence, the Satomi Ichimen led by Satomi Tadahiro refused to retreat and refused to give in an inch of ground.
The Hojo soldiers were exhausted and charged three times, resulting in forty or fifty casualties. They could not get up the wall.
Yiyin saw that his morale was defeated in front of the city wall, and he knew that he could no longer show off his strength. Just as he was about to order a retreat, the sound of fighting within the enemy army was heard from within the south gate.
what happened?
Yiyin's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered something and ordered.
"Hojo Yasunari!"
"Hi!"
"You lead the charge yourself and charge again!
If I'm not wrong, there is someone who has defected in front of the formation to act righteously. You can go and observe.
If someone really does something righteous, you will all cooperate with us to kill him! If not, quit immediately without any violation! "
"Hi!"
Yiyin held his breath for a moment, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and continued to give orders.
"Tachibana Kanou!"
"Hi!"
"Take a few people to go around the Western Wall, observe the situation inside the wall, and see if my suspicion of righteousness is true. Report back immediately!"
"Hi!"
"Naomasa Ii! Go to the east wall!"
"Hi!"
After sending out all his generals, Yiyin let out a deep breath.
At this moment, the Hojo people behind them suddenly made way, and three Hojo envoys rushed to the front of Yoshigan and knelt down to salute.
These three people were obviously familiar with the Hojo people, so they were brought to Yoshigami immediately.
An idea popped into Yiyin's mind and he asked urgently.
"Where are you from?"
The leading envoy fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Sage, Lord Daidoji has led the front army across the Edogawa River and ordered us to go north to search for traces of you, sage."
Yiyin laughed.
Mount Shinma in the south was so painful from Yoshigin's beating that even Hojo's envoy didn't dare to stop him. He was really cowardly to the extreme. When Daodao Temple Shengchang and his troops arrived, they would be attacked from both sides and would not dare to resist.
Yiyin glanced at the sky. It was still early at noon, and the prosperity of Daodao Temple was at least two hours earlier than promised. She was also working hard enough.
At this moment, Yoshigan saw that the Hojo people had climbed over the fence of the south gate and opened the door. The situation in front of them was great.
He ordered solemnly.
“The three of you immediately go back and tell Lord Daidoji that I have broken through Yoshihiro Satomi’s main formation and the morale of the enemy troops at Shinmayama and Sawada has been taken away.
She can attack it freely! "
