After breakfast, Shihe Yicun summoned the generals in reserve to discuss matters.
She was playing with the ribs in her hands and talking to no one else.
"I know you are talking behind my back.
I know that logistics has been disrupted and the army's food reserves are less than ten days' worth.
I also know that the Polish-Polish Allied Forces have been cutting trees, digging the ground, stationing themselves and building weapons since they arrived yesterday.
I even knew that Sibo Yiyin was waiting for me to hit him and hit his defense, leaving him covered in blood and his head shattered and fractured."
She raised her eyes with murderous intent and looked at the warriors who lowered their heads and remained silent.
"You think I'm crazy, I'm going to hit my head and break my blood.
Yes, I am crazy. I killed Miyoshi Yoshihiro, my niece.
I feel sorry for my eldest sister and her trust.
After I return, I will commit seppuku and apologize.
But what about you? Have you ever thought about your own fate?
The heir to the Miyoshi family is dead! The heir to the million-koku daimyo is dead! My eldest sister only has this one daughter!"
She let out a hideous laugh.
"You still think about going back like this? Has your brain been eaten by a dog?
How could Sanuki, a small country with a mere 100,000 koku, withstand the wrath of the Miyoshi family governor?
My death will naturally clear away the troubles of the Shihe family. What about you? What are you prepared to do to extinguish her anger?
Parents? Husband? Children? Maybe it would be a good choice for the whole family to die."
There was a commotion among the female warriors, and they looked at each other in fear.
Shihe Yicun waved his hand and cursed.
"Noisy! There is only one way.
Kill Shiba Yiyin and use his head to go back and plead guilty to the family governor. Only then can you pass the test.
Now, do you understand?"
Shihe Yicun looked at the Ji warriors one by one, with expressionless faces.
A Ji warrior shouted, like a primer igniting gunpowder, and all the Ji warriors shouted wildly.
"Kill Shiba Yiyin! Kill Shiba Yiyin!"
Shihe Yicun nodded with satisfaction, what she said was half true and half false.
When Miyoshi Yoshihiro dies, a group of unlucky ghosts will always be buried with him. But it is impossible to kill the entire samurai family of Sanuki Kingdom to vent their anger.
But at least she scared these reserve generals, they were afraid and obedient, and that was enough.
Then he said.
"The entire army is mobilized, and twelve reserve teams go out to fight together. Today, I want that man's head."
On the other side, Yiyin was inspecting the defense line, and Katsuhisa Nizi explained to him.
"Your Majesty, time is too short. Although the soldiers used their lives, they could barely build a line of defense in one day and one night.
If we can have three lines of defense to block the enemy layer by layer, we will be more confident."
Yiyin shook his head.
"There is no time left for Shihe Yicun. Her logistics have been cut off. Either she won't fight, or if she wants to fight, she will be desperate and leave no chance."
Nizi Shengjiu nodded in agreement and continued.
"In front of the defense line is the Shenma ditch, and then the Juma ditch. These two lines are to defend against the sudden attack of the horses and the charge of the warriors.
Then there is the wooden fence, and behind the fence is the earth barrier.
The Zahe party also has 170 iron cannons in hand. They will concentrate on the earthen fortress and fire, forming a barrage to hit the enemies outside the wooden fence.
There were also bow samurai and bow ashigaru generals from each army mixed with the iron gunners of the Zahe party, and they used bows and arrows and iron cannons to suppress them."
Yiyin looked around and said.
"Not bad, but it feels a little short."
Nizi Shengjiu said regretfully.
"There is too little time. The front of the defense line can protect the Chinese army's main formation, but it cannot greet the two wings.
If the enemy's troops attack from both flanks, I'm afraid this line of defense will be of little use."
Yiyin said.
"It's better than nothing. Let's see how Shihe Yicun attacks."
Shihe Yicun quickly arrived in front of the Sibo coalition defense line with his military strength and waited to observe the formation.
Tokawa Issun, who was already determined to die, seemed crazy, but was calmer than before, nodding his head to Shiba's defense line.
"There are experts in Sibo's army who know how to fight. This line of defense is well done. It's a pity that one day and one night are still too short."
Looking at the concubines behind her, she gave the order decisively.
"Kagawa, gather the warriors you have prepared as warriors to supervise the rear of the army, and order the ashigaru to fill the canals with soil and clean up the enemy horses. Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy.
I will place another reserve team behind you as a reserve team, and you are not allowed to stop until the two reserve ashigaru are finished."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"Hanchuan, you will take the lead in the left formation. Their defense line is not long, so you attack from outside the defense line.
Later, I will put a reserve team as the second striker. I don't expect you to penetrate the enemy's formation, but you will continue to create pressure on me and don't let them have the courage to divide their troops to support the outer route."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"The others will move west with my main formation. Xiangxi, you take the lead."
"Yes, Your Highness."
In Yiyin's main formation, the envoys observing from the front reported the enemy's movements one by one.
Yiyin discussed with Nizi Shengjiu.
"The attack begins."
Nizi Shengjiu nodded.
"Please be patient and don't be impatient. I can probably see some of Shihe Yicun's military strategy.
She attacks from south to north.
To the left of the defense line is Fengchuan. The river is very fast and is not suitable for deploying the formation. There is a high probability that it will contain our military equipment.
Although our defense line is thin, we have everything we need, and we will definitely not be able to take it down for a while. She used Ashigaru to clear the obstacles. Although it was cruel, it also consumed our army's iron cannons, bows and arrows, leaving the long-range ones in the middle without any time to take care of them.
Our formation is moving westward in preparation for encirclement from the west, avoiding the defense line and launching an attack on our formation."
Yiyin nodded and said.
"You are right."
Shihe Yicun's tactics are right, but it's too easy to see clearly. Yiyin is also a game where soldiers come to block it.
Facing her on the left were Peking University and the Wu family led by Shima Shengmeng. Although their combat strength was sparse, their hatred for destroying their families was so painful that they could not be defeated if they were just diversionary tactics.
Although the Zahe Party in the middle are mercenaries, they have been fighting for many years and have become elites.
Mercenaries always act based on circumstances and are highly likely to be unreliable. However, this time Suzuki Shigehide had no way out, so he naturally had to fight to the end, so there was no problem.
However, all the iron cannons and arrows were concentrated on the central defense line, so the west side could only rely on the military strength of both sides to fight head-on.
After all, the Iga people were the foundation of the country, so Yoshigan was still a little worried about the elite of Shihe Icun's Hundred Battles.
Fortunately, the Iga people returned home after he performed a heavenly omen, their morale was high, and they also had an advantage in numbers.
There are more than 1,000 Ji warriors in Iga, and more than 1,700 Jiqing.
Shiheyi saved the eight reserve troops that moved westward, and there were more than 500 Ji warriors, which was a light weight of more than 1,700.
Defense is always taken advantage of by offense, this battle can be fought!
Nizi Shengjiu was no more optimistic than Yiyin and frowned.
"Your Majesty, Shihe Yicun is also a veteran of many battles, why are you so unwise?
She can completely go further back, avoid our defense line and start the battle again.
Then our defense line can only be used to protect the flanks, and we will not lose her two reserve teams like now."
Yiyin was stunned for a moment, feeling strange and frowning.
Nizi Shengjiu suddenly raised his head and said.
"If she fights around the west, we will have our back to Fengchuan and we will not be able to be attacked from both sides."
Yiyin shook his head after hearing this.
"The Iga people have already searched the area thoroughly. There is no way Shihe Yichen has an ambush hiding behind us."
Nizi Shengjiu nodded, still confused.
"But I always feel that she did it deliberately to create space behind us."
At this time, the Third Taifu of Baidi received the news from the envoy and came forward.
"Your Highness, there is movement in Tsutsui Castle, Tsutsui Junkei has sent troops."
"Oh? She went south?"
Bai Di San Taifu looked solemn, shook his head and said.
"Her army moves northeast."
Yoshiyin and Nizi Shengjiu looked at each other, with horror in their eyes.
The reverse flow direction of Toyokawa forced Tsutsui Junkei to cross the river in order to contact the two armies here.
To cross the river to the south is to cut off ten rivers and save a way out. To cross the river to the northeast is to reach behind the Spoken Allied Forces.
