Chapter 1689 The soldiers were defeated before the saint arrived
The most uncomfortable thing for Yiyin during these years of living in the island country is that the martial arts here are too clever and useless.
For example, the rebellion of the people of the East is a typical Japanese gameplay, which is simply inexplicable.
The Kanto Secretariat was greedy for land and was not even willing to pretend to be a hypocrite. As a result, it was forced to jump over the wall, giving Satake Yoshishige the opportunity to integrate the people of the East and carry out a beheading operation against Yoshihiro.
However, someone within the Oriental Crowd was clever and wanted to leave a way out, so he secretly leaked the news to Oda Jiji, allowing Yoshihiro to react first.
Seeing the discord among the people in the east, Yoshihiro took the initiative to go south. He wanted to pick a weak enemy and gathered a rebel army to attack Yoshihiro's weak army first.
But when the rebels arrived at Yiyin, before the fight started, Monk Miaoyin began to secretly offer various conditions, and Yiyin could only hold his nose and accept them all.
Unexpectedly, Satake Yoshige reacted very quickly and confirmed that Yoshigan had already gone south. He immediately fired a feint and shot towards the south, hoping to cooperate with Yoshihiro Satomi in the south to attack Yoshigan.
What is ridiculous is that Satomi Yoshihiro from the south was unwilling to lead the Boso coalition forces north to encircle and suppress Shiba Yoshigan. He would rather delay the war and seek personal gain for his own family in the south.
This was supposed to be an opportunity for Yoshigan, but something went wrong with the Hojo family again. The Hojo youth faction defeated the superiors and started a war without authorization. The Hojo army was defeated by Bosou's coalition forces.
As a last resort, Yoshihiro had no choice but to go south in person to intercede for the bastards of the Hojo Young Sect, and took them across the Edogawa River at night, and met Yoshihiro in a surprise attack, in order to save the defeat and turn defeat into victory.
This series of small thoughts and tricks by both camps turned the originally clear and clear battle situation into chaos. This is a typical Japanese war style.
In the words of the Celestial Dynasty, every one of these martial arts participating in the war is short-sighted and lacks intelligence and strategy!
The most painful and depressing problem for Yiyin these years is that the entire martial arts family is full of selfish warriors with this style.
The traditional thinking of samurai warriors attaching importance to family name and family business has resulted in them being able to harm the overall overall situation at will for the benefit of small groups.
Moreover, the Wu family felt that such an approach was perfectly justified and they were not ashamed of it, but rather proud of it.
The idea of clinging together and maximizing the interests of small groups among the few people in the island country is simply engraved in their bones.
The characteristics of the islanders in the samurai society make it impossible for Yi Yin, an ordinary person who has traveled from the modern society of the Celestial Dynasty, to understand. Every time something goes wrong, it is impossible to prevent it and it is unbelievable.
Yiyin has been deceived many times over the years, but it has become so accustomed to being deceived that it has calmed down.
He adhered to his own principles as a human being and showed a little bit of the qualities of a normal person, but he was recognized by martial arts families all over the world as a benevolent king who could be bullied, which made him dumbfounded.
Today, in order to help these troublesome Ji warriors, Yiyin worked hard on the battlefield again, and he was so tired that he was panting.
Masaki Tokitada and Toki Noriharu were so frightened that they lost control as soon as they saw Yoshigan's battle flag. Even though their own troops exceeded Yoshigan's exhausted army by more than ten times, they were beaten to the point of rapid collapse and retreated to the camp.
At the foot of Mt. Shinma, Yoshiyin looked at the enemy troops who were staying behind closed doors and took a deep breath, feeling very tired.
Although he has external protection, he is still a human being with naked eyes. He has been busy all night and the sun has swept away the morning fog and is hanging high in the sky. How can he not be exhausted?
Yiyin glanced around and found that of the more than thirty riders who had followed him, only about twenty were left. Although everyone looked excited, they could not hide their tiredness.
He was extremely anxious, and a good dawn raid turned into a war of attrition.
No matter how fierce the 280 or so members of the Hojo Army are, they cannot withstand the repeated grinding of the flesh and blood millstones of tens of thousands of people from the Allied Forces. Once the heroic spirit in Zhu Ji's heart relaxes, this battle will not be easy to fight.
Yiyin raised his head and looked at the position of the sun. It was still early at noon.
Daodaoji Shengchang promised him that he would come to support him before noon, but whether he could survive until noon was still unknown.
Just as Yiyin was thinking about it, the war horse suddenly staggered and fell sideways. Fortunately, Yiyin reacted quickly and jumped out of the stirrup, so that his legs were not pinned by the suddenly fallen war horse.
Next to him, Naomasa Ii exclaimed.
"saint!"
At this time, she could no longer care about her dignity. She immediately dismounted her horse, stepped forward and knelt in front of Yiyin, and carefully touched Yiyin's legs with her hands to see if Yiyin was injured.
Yiyin waved his hands and said.
"I'm fine. I charged too hard just now and this horse can't stand it."
Yi Gin's war horse was snatched from the Satomi barracks. The horse was not fed before charging, and it was not a good horse with strong qualities. Naturally, it could not withstand such a waste and died directly in front of Yoshi Gin.
Ii Naomasa was so frightened that he burst into tears just now when he saw Yoshiyin fall from his horse.
She gritted her teeth now. It was not easy to talk nonsense about a gentleman not standing behind a dangerous wall on the battlefield. She just silently pulled her war horse over and helped Yiyin mount the horse.
At this moment, the sound of formations of conch shells was heard not far away.
Yoshigan mounted his horse and looked to the southeast. Sawada's Maritani Army and Tominami Takeda Army were leaving camp. Farther to the north and east, the whirling sound of conch shells and drums reminded Yoshigan.
What if he is already deeply trapped in the enemy's formation, so what if the enemy troops on Mount Zhenjian are afraid to go down the mountain? The other side has an endless supply of reinforcements, and if he continues like this, he will only be exhausted to death!
Looking back at the direction of Yoshihiro's main formation, I wondered what was going on with Yasunari Hojo and the others. As the enemy gradually regained their composure, the trouble for the Hojos had just begun.
In the distance, the Takeda family of Sawada's boss were slowly approaching, and the Hime warriors around Yoshigami looked at him, waiting for his order.
At this moment, a horseman came from the north. A man dressed as a knight faced the bow and arrow raised by the Hojo Princess and shouted.
"One of my own! I am Wuying Caizang! Wuying Caizang!"
Tachibana came forward on his horse and confirmed that it was Kirikage who was hiding herself, and then let her come over.
Wuying Caizang approached Yiyin and whispered.
"Sage, the letter has been delivered. Toki didn't return home all night. I stopped her on the road and saw her burn the letter after reading it with my own eyes."
Yiyin nodded.
"What's Toki's reaction?"
"Return to camp immediately and mobilize the army."
"Friend or foe?"
"I am not sure."
Yiyin took a deep breath and became even more upset.
At this moment, the sound of conch formations could be heard from Boso Takeda's family not far away, which made him feel even more agitated.
Yiyin shouted.
"Noisy!"
He whipped his horse whip, and the war horse galloped away in pain. Zhu Ji was about to follow, and heard Yiyin's order.
"Stay where you are! I'll come back as soon as I go!"
Yoshigan's war horse at this time was given to him by Naomasa Ii, and the horse behind the horse was the white flag of Hachiman Tainiang.
I saw Yoshigoshi pulling out the royal white flag, holding the flag high with his arm, and rushed straight to the front of Boso Takeda's two armies.
The enemy general Maritani responded and Takeda Toyonobu was also surprised when he saw a flag and a horse rushing towards him.
Yiyin rushed into an arrow's reach before reining in his horse, risking being covered by bows and arrows, and shouted towards the battle formation composed of hundreds of people.
"Where are the descendants of Kawachi Genji! Where are the descendants of Takeda Nobunaga!
I am the elder of the Minamoto clan, Shiba Yoshiyin entered the Daojin Hall with great faith, do you want to be my enemy?"
The Takeda family is the descendant of Minamoto Yoshimitsu, the younger sister of Hachiman Tainiang Minamoto Yoshie.
Although Minamoto Yoshimitsu has mixed reputations in history books, he is indeed one of the Kawachi Genji, Kai Takeda, and Hitachi Satake. They are all well-known martial arts families and have been highly valued by two generations of shogunates.
Minamoto Yoshimitsu once killed the descendants of the Minamoto Yoshihide family in order to obtain the identity of the direct descendant of the Genji family in Kawachi, which caused the direct descendants of the Minamoto family in Kawachi to be suspicious of his bloodline.
Minamoto Yoritomo, the first shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, killed the Takeda descendants, and Ashikaga Takauji, who inherited the direct line of the Kawachi Genji family, was also afraid of the Takeda family.
But in the final analysis, the Takeda family is still a part of the Genji family in Kawachi. Facing the elders of the Genji family, they are not qualified to raise the sword in their hands.
Satake Yoshi was reincarnated as the governor of the Hitachi Satake family, a direct descendant of Minamoto Yoshimitsu.
She didn't dare to blatantly kill Yiyin, she only dared to say something about Qingjun's side. Even if she had murderous intentions, she was secretly trying to find a scapegoat to kill him.
The Bosou Takeda family are even less qualified.
Because Takeda Nobunaga, the ancestor who founded Boso Takeda, served in the Ashikaga Shogun's family in Kyoto, and later served the Kamakura Ashikaga family through meritorious service, she was deeply favored by the Ashikaga Shogunate.
How could her descendants brazenly draw a sword on the actual leader of the Ashikaga clan and the nominal leader of the Genji clan, Elder Genji, in public!
Maratani Nobuoyi and Takeda Toyonobu looked at each other in disbelief, neither of them dared to be the first to stand out and bear the infamy of drawing swords against the elders of the Genji family.
Hundreds of soldiers were frozen on the spot, unable to advance or retreat. They were stopped by Yiyin, one man and one flag.
Maratani Nobuhide's younger sister, Maratani Nobuhide, got angry and shouted.
"His Royal Highness Satomi Yoshihiro has an order! Destroy the Hojo people who are attacking! No matter life or death! Shoot arrows! Shoot arrows for me!"
Maratani Nobuoying was shocked and scolded his sister, but Maratani Nobuhide didn't take it seriously and turned a deaf ear.
The Maratani family has been in constant internal strife. In the past, in order to inherit the family business, the Hojo family and the Satomi family each supported one side, which caused serious internal divisions in the Maratani family and became increasingly weak.
Maratani Nobuhide was a person close to the Satomi family. After receiving orders from Satomi Yoshihiro, she became greedy and wanted to capture Yoshihiro who came alone, which shocked the world.
This idiot doesn't have any brains. If Yoshigan dies here, the Satomi family will be in big trouble, not to mention that the Satomi family can't handle it.
As the saying goes, there is no shortage of fools in the world. At this moment, Nobuhide Maritani was so blinded by his false reputation that he actually wanted to take advantage of heaven.
When the archer with his bow heard the order, he subconsciously fired a hail of arrows, which frightened Yiyin and immediately turned on the killing mode to avoid fatal injuries.
He was dressed in white, and even with the addition of a formation of feathers, he couldn't resist the power of the bow and arrow. He swung his spear to deflect the bow and arrow, but was still shot in the left shoulder.
Yiyin was in pain and put the royal white flag back behind the horse. Fortunately, the horse was not damaged.
On the other side, Maratani Nobuoyi was so frightened that she was more afraid of Yoshigan being shot to death than Yoshigan. She was trembling all over and yelled at the archers to put down their arrows quickly.
On the contrary, Maratani Nobuhide was overjoyed when he saw that Yoshigan was injured. He led his Sangoro gang to attack the horse, intending to capture Yoshigan and achieve a unique feat.
In the distance, Ii Naomasa saw Yoshigage being shot by a hail of arrows, and screamed in panic. He pulled Kirikage Saizou off his horse, mounted his horse and led the Hojo people to kill him.
Unexpectedly, the rain of arrows had aroused Yi Gin's ferocity. He didn't even think about retreating. He pulled out his sword and cut off the arrow shaft directly. He turned on the killing mode and rushed towards Nobuhide Maritani.
Nobuhide Maritani still didn't know whether he was alive or dead, so he shouted at the gang members who followed him out.
"Catch them alive!"
Yiyin had already rushed nearby. When he heard this sentence of "catch someone alive," his anger broke through the sky and he cursed furiously.
"Catch you to paralysis!"
Ignoring the sharp spears of the gangsters, Yiyin braved the danger of drilling a few more holes in his body, rushed into their circle, and swept away thousands of troops with one move.
I wonder if the system father was also anxious, but the 50% fatal probability actually worked, taking away the lives of all the gang members in one wave.
Nobuhide Maritani didn't know what was going on, but the five gangsters seemed to have fallen to the ground and died just after being struck by the barrel of a gun, which shocked her.
She yelled, struck the horse with her spear, and turned sideways to engage Yiyin in close combat.
However, Yiyin didn't pick up on her at all, and used his horse speed to pass by her and slap her in the face.
Nobuhide Maritani, who was fully equipped, was naturally not injured. In fact, Yoshigan's fingers only touched her cheek slightly, which was lighter than a touch.
Nobuhide Maritani was still wondering why Yoshigan gave up the attack opportunity of his horse's sprint, when suddenly his vision went black and he fell to the ground dead.
All this happened in the blink of an eye. In the eyes of others, Yiyin was a warrior Ji who killed six highly skilled warriors in a single encounter, which was simply terrifying.
After killing Nobuhide Maritani, Yoshigan was still angry and pointed at the enemy's formation flag and cursed.
"Bossou Takeda and below are guilty of being disloyal and unjust. How can this be justified?"
After saying that, he rushed towards the formation flag and killed it.
When Nobuyo Maritani and Toyonobu Takeda under the Jin banner saw Yoshigin rushing towards them, they were frightened out of their wits and were at a loss what to do.
They are not die-hard Satomi family members like Nobuhide Maratani, so they are so stupid that they dare to attack the saint with cold arrows and guns in front of the battle.
Boso Takeda is still standing in the Kamisou Kingdom because they are true descendants of a distinguished family, descendants of Kawachi Genji.
But Yiyin has a better reputation, higher prestige, and more expensive status.
In a head-to-head confrontation with Yoshigan, regardless of victory or defeat, Boso Takeda will be the loser and will be despised by others. Why should they take advantage of the Satomi family's fire and destroy their own family's lintel.
Originally, the two of them were still hesitating, considering the pros and cons, but Yiyin's impulse directly interrupted their thoughts. How could they have the courage to give it a go? Don't hesitate, retreat immediately!
How can it be so easy for an army to advance or retreat?
Nobuyo Maritani and Toyonobu Takeda ran away, immediately distressing the soldiers in the formation. Seeing the general's formation flag retreating, everyone dispersed in a rush, resulting in numerous trampled casualties.
Yoshigan was stunned on the spot, watching Bozou Takeda and his family perform a spectacle of collapsing without a fight and trampling on each other in front of his own power.
Just as he was stunned, Naomasa Ii rushed to his side with his people, and he was already crying in his words.
"Sage, saint, are you okay?"
Yiyin pointed at the hundreds of troops in front who were crying for their fathers and mothers, and were trampled, and said with a wry smile.
