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 him to prevent the news from leaking. Then Yiyin comforted him gently and offered some money to worship the gods. The leader of the club became honest.
Yiyin did not reveal his identity clearly, but asked the ladies to seize the time to rest and wait for dawn.
And he himself pulled Ii Naomasa, Hojo Yasunari, Hojo Yasune and others to match the information 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 various Bosou coalition forces are stationed at various locations. The center is the Satomi Yoshihiro main formation at Kokufudai.
In front of the Hachiman Shrine where we are located, 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 Satomi important ministers and senior generals, while at Sawada there were Shinobu Maratani, Toyonobu Takeda and other house chiefs Takeda and other ladies.
I intend to break through Masaki Toki and point directly at Satomi Yoshihiro at Kokufudai, what do you think?"
Hojo Yasuzhong said doubtfully.
"Bosou 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 difficult 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 biggest rival of the Satomi family in the Boso Peninsula is the famous Boso Takeda family.
One hundred years ago, Takeda Nobunaga of the Kai Takeda family served in the Ashikaga Shogun's 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 he 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 and a thorn in his flesh.
Takeda Nobunaga volunteered to go to the Bosou Peninsula to relieve the Kanto generals, so he led five hundred cavalry into the Kamisou Kingdom and entrusted 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, arousing the fear of the Masaki family and the Toki family, both of the famous families of Uesuguni.
In Kamsou's territory, the west is the territory of the Boso Takeda family. In the north of the east is the local powerful samurai Sakai, in the middle is headed by Toki, and in the south is headed by Masaki, each of them has their own affairs.
After Satomi Yoshihiro unified the Anbo Kingdom, he tried to win over the heirs 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 between the Maratani 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 general government to join the action, including Marigaya, Tominami Takeda, Masaki, Toki, and Sakai, all of whom mobilized their efforts.
There were 12,000 Fangzong's coalition troops surrounding Taicheng, the capital of the country. Among them, 6,000 were from Satomi's family members, and the remaining 6,000 were from Shangzong's family members.
Although Satomi Yoshiyao had used both soft and hard tactics to win over Anfang Shangsou and both countries, the Satomi family's strength was limited, and the submission of each Shangsong family was 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 doesn't understand why Yoshibank doesn't look for a breakthrough from Boso Takeda and his family?
Boso, the Takeda family, and the Satomi family have the most alienated relationship, 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.
"Masaki Toki, who was stationed at Mount Shinma, was a veteran of the Satomi family, and his relationship with Yoshihiro Satomi was even closer.
If we launch a surprise attack from the Boso Takeda family of Sawada, after the enemy forces in Mt. Shinma react, they will definitely 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 under 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 lacking in both 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 National Palace Tower. 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 sentiment among all 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 as he watched Yoshinobu put himself in danger but could do nothing about it. He didn't like anyone at the moment.
Hojo Yasuzune 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, she pursed her lips and lowered her head, feeling unhappy. Just because she couldn't blame the saint, she would get angry at him, and she was so helpless and furious.
Since ancient times, how could a holy king come to the front line in person and lead a surprise attack on the enemy with two to three hundred men? Are all his generals dead?
Yiyin's dispatch was too fast this time, catching all his important officials off guard, and Naomasa Ii, the only person beside him, could not hold him back.
But Ii Naomasa had already made up his mind. After returning, he would report it to the important officials of Kamao clan and Shiba family, and he would never give the saint another chance to act recklessly.
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 Mt. 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, and in order to march across the river, they had removed their knee pads and elbow pads from their hoods, which made them look completely mutilated.
Yiyin looked at the concubines behind him, 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.
"At this time yesterday, you were so ambitious and wanted to prove yourself, but you encountered a setback.
Your sisters lay dead on the battlefield, and you collapsed 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. They 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 desires victory more than you! No one is more willing to sacrifice one's life than you!
Move forward with me! You must let them know that they cannot defeat you! They cannot trample on your dignity without paying the price!
Kill them! Kill Yoshihiro Satomi! 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 all over. They had forgotten the fatigue of the whole 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, Rin Sanada, and Nagano Yamori, and the six people formed a small formation headed by Yoshigan.
Then, Hojo Yasunari was on the left, and Hojo Yasunari was on the right, with the wings behind them. All the Hojo Princess warriors formed a dense formation, with Yoshigoshi in the lead, forming a forward 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 shoot the arrow! 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 was hesitating, a large group of people had already approached.
Yiyin suddenly increased his 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!"
The concubines behind him followed and shouted.
"kill!!!"
On both sides, Ii Naomasa and Tachibana Kanade were faster than Yoshigami, and rushed 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 large group 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 struck from the air, pierced her neck, and nailed her to the fence behind her.
The Ji warrior who started running put his shoulder pads in front of him and without slowing down, he hit the fence directly.
In the makeshift camp, the wooden stakes were not driven deep enough. The impact of seven or eight strong women, even with armor on them, instantly blew away the fence and rushed into the camp.
The Hime warriors on duty around them rushed over with their 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 it 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.
Yoshigan 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 things were different after they broke through the camp. After Yi Gin and others fought their way out from the northeast of Zhenjian Mountain, they turned back and turned to the west to reach the Guofu Terrace.
The sun rises in the east, bursting out with intense light and heat behind Yoshigage, so that the enemies of Kokufudai must fight with their backlight to meet the Hojo raiding party that rushes from east to west.
Which one is better at raiding the enemy camp? Backlit Dawn Grass Nima!
