Chapter 1692: The allied forces of the homeowners each ran away
After Yoshigami finished speaking, he stared inside and saw the formation. Hojo Yasunari had already opened the door from inside, and a group of Ji warriors filed in.
Tachibana Kano ran back quickly and said breathlessly.
"Saint, there are people in the north setting up the white flag of the Origin clan, shouting to honor the saint and punish traitors, but I can't understand the details."
Yoshigami nodded. Tachibana Kanade is from England. Although her Japanese proficiency has improved in the past two years, it is too difficult for her to understand the complex family crest system of the island country.
She could only recognize a few simple family crests, and it was normal that she couldn't recognize the family crest flags of the people in the north in the chaos.
Yoshihiro waited for a while, but did not wait for Naomasa Ii to report back from the other side of the east wall, so he couldn't help but frown.
"follow me!"
"Hi!"
Yiyin took the lead and rushed towards the east wall, followed by three or five knight warriors behind him.
After turning the corner and running for about ten meters, Yoshigine saw Ii Naomasa ahead. She and a few people were tightly pestering a group of Satomi Kahime samurai who were trying to escape.
Yiyin shouted loudly.
"Naomasa Ii! Get out of the way!"
After saying that, Yiyin led several horses behind him and started sprinting.
Naomasa Ii swept across with a single shot and quickly led his men to avoid it. Yoshigan's horse hoofs accelerated and he was in front of the enemy in an instant, knocking away the person in front of him.
Several cavalrymen behind him rushed in, tearing apart the opponent's formation of more than 20 people. Ii Naomasa took advantage of the situation and led his men to charge in behind the cavalrymen.
At the scene, I saw that although the Jiaji warrior was in confusion, he still stood in front of the cavalry, using his body as a human shield to block Yiyin's path.
Yiyin raised his eyes and saw a gorgeous warrior Ji who was hurriedly helping someone onto a picked-up war horse. His heart moved and he shouted.
"Satomi Yoshihiro!"
The Ji warrior's body trembled and he almost fell down immediately. He subconsciously turned back to look at Yiyin.
Yoshihiro's eyes lit up, what the hell is Yoshihiro Satomi! This grandson actually didn't even care about the formation flags and horse seals, and climbed the wall to escape in embarrassment!
Yoshihiro saw Yoshihiro in his silver spear and shouted.
"Those who see righteousness inside and outside will be rewarded with hundreds of stones for knowledge and practice, regardless of life or death!"
"Hi!"
There were less than ten people on foot and horse around Yiyin, which was more than half the number of his opponent's more than 20 people.
However, this side is carrying the momentum of a great victory and is as powerful as a rainbow, but the other side is defeated and decadent, like a lost dog with no fighting spirit.
The enemy army was obviously larger in number, but they could not stop Yoshigami and others for a moment, allowing Yoshigan to quickly approach Satomi Yoshihiro.
Satoshi saw that Yoshihiro had just sat firmly on his horse, and when he looked back, Yoshihiro was already less than ten meters away from him, and he suddenly lost all hope.
Just when Satomi Yoshihiro thought she was going to die here, Anzai Sanemoto, who was helping her mount the horse, shouted.
"Your Highness, leave quickly!"
Because he was deceived by Toki into opening the north gate, Anzai Shigen felt as regretful as ants gnawed at him, and was heartbroken. At this moment, he already had the intention of committing suicide.
She pulled out her ribs and plunged it into the butt of Satomi Yoshihiro's war horse. The horse was in pain and jumped out carrying Satomi Yoshihiro, breaking out from the east like lightning.
Anzai Shigen turned back to look at Yoshigan, raised his spear and faced him, pointing the tip of the spear directly at the war horse, not blocking or avoiding him. Her target was not Yoshigan, but to stab the horse's neck.
Yiyin tightened the reins and dodged the spear head with the horse's head on one side.
Anzai Shigen took advantage of this moment when his horse's speed dropped, put aside his spear, and jumped directly onto Yoshiyin's horse. He tightly held his horse-controlling arm with both hands, trying to sideways and push Yoshiyin off the horse.
Yiyin was horrified. He relied on the killing mode with a 50% fatality rate to kill. His own physical strength was actually much smaller than that of Samurai Ji, and he could not break away from Anzai Shimoto.
But Anzai Shigen pressed his horse-controlling arm, and Yoshiyin pushed her away with his backhand, and the killing mode had already started.
Logically speaking, Anzai Shimomoto is already dead at this moment, but her eyes are dull, but her hands are still holding on to Yoshiyin's hand, and she really won't let go!
One side of the war horse was too heavy, and it staggered and was about to fall over. Yiyin had no choice but to loosen the reins and kicked off the stirrups, being careful not to let himself be crushed under the horse.
Then, the war horse suddenly fell to the ground, pressing Anxi Shigen's long-dead body tightly. The horse's belly heaved and it could no longer stand up.
Yiyin lay on the horse, then reluctantly opened Anzai Shigen's fingers, looked at the five-finger red marks clearly visible on his arm, and gasped.
Looking sideways, the dead Anzai Shigen's eyes were wide open with anger, and he did not close his eyes until his death. Yoshigan sighed and reached out to close Anzai Shigen's eyelids.
Seeing that Yoshigan fell to the ground, the surrounding Hime warriors had no intention of chasing after Satomi Yoshihiro. They quickly surrounded Yoshigan and drove away the Satomi family Hime warriors who had long since lost their fighting spirit.
Naomasa Ii jumped off his horse and came forward.
"Sage, are you okay?"
Yiyin stood up, patted his clothes and sighed.
"Two horses fell down in one morning. This is really bad luck."
Seeing that Ii Naomasa was about to remonstrate again, Yoshihiro quickly waved his hand and said.
"When Satomi Yoshihiro ran away, he immediately dispersed the defeated troops and went to the main formation to cut off her horse mark."
While he was talking, a group of people rushed from the north and helped the Hojo people disperse the Satomi family's defeated troops. The leader dismounted and shouted cautiously.
"Is there a saint in front of you? The foreign minister Toki has secretly acted for his righteousness. Now he has broken through Satomi Yoshihiro's main formation and brought his horse seal formation flag to come to see the saint!"
Yoshigan was sitting on the belly of the fallen horse, unable to stand up for a moment, and said to Naomasa Ii feebly.
"Bring her here."
"Hi!"
Toki was also decisive for Lai. He dragged the horse seal and the formation flag alone, walked straight to Yoshiyin and knelt down to kowtow.
"The foreign minister has seen the saint."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"Ji Dayi killed his relatives. Anyway, I am very relieved before the battle. I will be generously rewarded in the future to live up to Ji's righteous deed."
Toki was overjoyed for Lai. A saint is a saint. A few words determined her fate and completely eliminated the last trace of hesitation in her heart.
"Thank you saint!"
Yiyin didn't waste any time, pointed at the things on the ground and ordered.
"Sanada Rin, throw the horse seal in front of Mount Shinma."
"Hi!"
"Nagano Yamori, throw the formation flag to Sawada."
"Hi!"
Yoshigan looked at Toki Norayi again.
"Get up, what is the current situation of the Fangzong coalition forces in the north that besieged Guofutai?"
Toki said frankly.
"At this moment, someone should have taken the lead and started running."
Yiyin said doubtfully.
"what happened?"
Seeing Yoshiyin's puzzled look, Toki Norayi was stunned and asked carefully.
"The Changzuo line was broken through last night. At dawn, the enemy's vanguard cavalry had already reached the northern camps, causing panic.
Saint... you don’t know about this?”
Yiyin's eyebrows twitched, and he suddenly understood.
"Changzuo? Those little girls in blue... they really don't want their lives."
Yoshigan just ordered the rebels in the Shiki Takasago area to feign attack and cooperate. Unexpectedly, they actually crossed the river and reached Taicheng, the national capital.
The local rebels are led by young Samurai Ji from the Samurai Revival Association. These people in blue have been actively seeking war and have submitted petitions several times. Yiyin is also aware of their eagerness to make meritorious deeds.
But Yiyin didn't expect that they would actually turn their feint attack order into a strong attack, and the effect would be so good.
He glanced at the respectful Toki Nourii. The pressure from the north was also a major reason why this old man could be so decisive and defected before the battle.
The people in blue helped Yiyin a big favor by mistake. Not only could Yiyin not punish them for changing their orders privately, they also had to reward those little girls who risked their lives.
The Wu family judged heroes based on success or failure, but they did not have the centralized thinking of the Celestial Empire where they clearly won the battle but were punished for tampering with military orders.
Once you win, whatever you do is the right thing to do. This is also one of the reasons why you are repeatedly banned from defeating others.
While Yiyin was thinking, Toki said tentatively.
"The northern families were panicked by the enemy troops coming from the Nagasaku front line and kept their troops stationary. They also saw that I led troops south to attack Satomi Yoshihiro's main formation.
At this moment, they have probably started to retreat and will not just stay there and be beaten."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"The Yotsuki Takasago rebels are indeed brave. Lord Daidoji Morimasa's army is about to arrive. When she comes, we can discuss the aftermath together."
Confirming that the people coming from the north were Yiyin's men, Toki Nori felt reassured at first, then startled, and asked.
"Has the Hojo army crossed the river again?"
Yiyin nodded calmly.
"The enemy troops in the Shinma Mountains and Sawada areas have been frightened by me. They will retreat in a hurry when they see Satomi Yoshihiro's horse seal formation flag.
The Hojo army led by Lord Daidaiji Morimasa has crossed the river at dawn, and it should be here soon. Your troops will help disperse the defeated troops, and when all the troops arrive, we can discuss the next step."
In fact, Yoshigami didn't know when Daidaiji Shengshang would cross the river, but this did not prevent him from scaring Toki Noi.
This wallflower who had just come to seek refuge was uncertain. Not only did she need the promise of a large reward to appease her, but she also needed a strong military force to suppress her delusions to prevent recurrence.
Sure enough, Toki Yori, who was frightened by Yoshigan, thought that Yoshigan was strategizing and had many back-ups, and he was just lucky enough to make the right choice, and he was very happy in his heart.
She bowed and said.
"I will go back immediately and cooperate with the saint's heavenly army to disperse the broken troops everywhere and wait for the military meeting."
Yiyin nodded, looked at the back of Toqi bowing for Lai and left, thinking about the next step.
Boso's coalition forces were in disarray. As soon as Satomi Yoshihiro ran away, everyone immediately followed him, with no intention of counterattack.
This is a good thing and a bad thing.
The surprise attack was easily successful, which was indeed good. However, Boso's coalition forces did not suffer any injuries, which was another big trouble.
Those who actually clashed with Yiyin and were killed were only a few hundred people. There were only a few hundred casualties, and the 12,000-person army camp was completely wiped out. It was simply ridiculous.
But this also means that as long as someone comes forward to organize again, these more than 10,000 troops may come back at any time.
Satomi Yoshihiro's prestige has been ruined, but her mother Satomi Yoshihiro is still there. If Satomi Yoshihiro goes north in person, there is still the possibility of Boso's coalition forces making a comeback.
Yoshigan looked to the north, remembering that Kogane City was facing a fierce attack by Satake Yishige, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
Should he continue to pursue the Fangzong coalition and not give Fangzong families a chance to organize again, or should he immediately send reinforcements from Xiaojincheng?
———
Just when Yoshigami was thinking about how to fight next, Satomi Yoshihiro, who had just escaped from the camp, was finally exhausted by the injured and galloping horse underneath her, and he just knocked her to the ground.
Satomi Yoshihiro, who was in a state of embarrassment, had been hugging the horse's neck and not letting go. He just wanted to go east! East!
At this moment, she was so dizzy from the fall that she didn't know where she was. When she looked up, there was already a group of people walking slowly in front of her.
Satomi Yoshihiro saw clearly the flag of the incoming visitor, it was none other than Sakai Yinji, the rustic castle lord who was stationed in the east.
Before, Satomi Yoshihiro would have scolded Sakai Yoshihiro for deliberately conserving his strength and adding reinforcements as fast as a tortoise.
But at this moment, she was overjoyed, stood up quickly, and walked towards the army.
The Sakai family is a powerful family, and the Hojo family supports Togane Castle Sakai, which makes the rustic city Sakai miserable.
The rustic castle lord Sakai Inji surrendered to the Satomi family, so that he could fight against the Hojo family and barely save the family business. She can be said to be the Satomi family's more trustworthy ally of the Kamisou.
Satomi Yoshihiro joined her and finally managed to save his life and retreat safely.
