At this time, Spo's cavalry had reached its limit. The horses were sweating profusely and were about to fall to death.
There are still thirteen people left in the Tongxin group, including Yoshigan and Yamanaka Yukimori, a total of fifteen people, sixteen of whom were killed in the battle.
After two battles and one cavalry attack, the morale and manpower were exhausted and they were unable to fight anymore.
Yamanaka Yukimori approached Yoshigan and said anxiously.
"Your Highness, the enemies are surrounding us!"
The sound of conchs continued to sound all around, getting closer and closer.
Yiyin looked at it intently, and saw that various troops were approaching slowly in the distance. The small territory was oppressed from all sides, making it look even smaller.
Yiyin sighed, knowing that he couldn't rush out. He pointed to the Xingjiao Temple on the hill and said.
"Abandon your horse and go to the temple to wait for help."
The horses were powerless and had no choice but to abandon them, and a group of people walked towards the temple on the mountain.
The nameless hilltop was short. He ran up the steps and entered the front mountain gate. Yiyin commanded his colleagues to prepare to defend it.
"Block the mountain gate with something! The same goes for the back!
We only guard the front courtyard and the main hall, be careful of the attack from behind!"
He never gave up, Akechi Mitsuhide would definitely notice something was wrong.
Reinforcements will definitely come, but I don't know if he can persist until that time.
The morale of the Tongxin people began to become low. Even if they have a death wish, as long as they are human beings, they will have the desire to survive.
Now it is surrounded on all sides and the temple is trapped, and it is about to end.
Such pressing pressure makes people breathless, and there is no doubt that they will suffer from mental breakdown.
Yoshigan, who was instructing his colleagues to move around obstacles, suddenly heard a thud, and looked back to see that Yamanaka Yukimori had already knelt down and sat down.
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
If I hadn't made my own decisions and His Highness was brave, how could I have been trapped here?
it's all my fault!"
There were tears in Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes, and he lowered his head and sobbed.
It was she who took it upon herself to lead the team to break up the attack, forcing Yiyin to turn around and rescue them.
No one expected Yiyin to be so capable of fighting, leading thirty cavalry to overwhelm the reserve team twice and kill the general of the reserve team.
If at that time, everyone had worked together to rush outward, and the encirclement that had just been launched was not yet solid, they might have been able to break through in one fell swoop.
New and old guilt broke out in Yamanaka Yukimori's heart. He could no longer control his emotions and knelt down crying.
Her cries affected everyone around her, and the atmosphere became increasingly sad.
Yiyin pulled her up, held her chin with his hand and said.
"What nonsense are you talking about! We will go back alive!
The Shiba family has not yet been restored, so my oath is not just talk!
Don’t you like me? Live! Live well, and then spend your whole life admiring me!”
He raised his head and shouted at the people around him.
"Hey! This girl said she likes me and wants to have sex with me!
You guys tell me, should I satisfy her when I get back? Will I let her in?"
Everyone was stunned, no one expected that Yiyin would still have the heart to laugh at this moment.
Most of the female warriors in the army are rude and make dirty jokes all the time.
Now the Lord personally spoke dirty words, but no one took him seriously and just laughed.
"Let her come! Let her come! Let her come!"
Yoshigami held up Yamanaka Yukimori's cheeks with both hands, pressed his forehead against hers, and whispered.
"Did you hear that? Live! I like you too, Yukimori-hime. I want to be fucked by you again in the future!
Please, don’t give up, let us live together!”
Yamanaka Yukimori's face turned red as he looked at this man who obsessed him.
He shook his head away from Yiyin's hands and lowered his head in a coquettish tone.
"Your Highness is so immodest!
Even if you want to boost morale, you can't be so self-deprecating and show no restraint."
When she looked up again, her eyes were sharp and unwavering.
"I will definitely protect His Highness, stay alive, and go down."
Clenching her fists, she stood up, straightened her back, and scolded the crowd.
"What's all the fuss about?
The morale of each of you is low, and you still need Your Highness to cheer you up!
Everyone is not dead yet! Let these bastards from the Mihaoshi family have a taste of the power of my Sibo family!
A group of soft-footed shrimps know how to bully the few with more!"
"Hi!"
The people responded with a roar, and their morale was like a rainbow.
———
"Report! Sibo's cavalry abandoned their horses and joined the religious temple to defend it!"
Sanhao Changyi frowned and said.
"The whole army surrounded Jiaoxing Temple and prepared to attack the mountain."
Matsunaga shook his head.
"Sir Sanhao, I'm afraid that the army's morale is low and it will waste time."
It has taken too much time to besiege Sibo Yiyin, and I don't know how the interception from the north is going.
That man was so fierce that he defeated two reserve troops in a row, leaving the rest of the army feeling worried.
If the mountain is attacked by force, the mountain path is narrow and the mountain gate is only big enough for two people to pass through.
Even if they are on all sides, there are still temple walls blocking them. With the current morale of the Sanhao Army, I am afraid they will be unable to move forward, which is a waste of time.
Miyoshi Changyi nodded. At this time, she was also afraid of Shiba Yiyin.
"Do you have any idea?"
Matsunaga replied grimly.
"Set fire, burn mountains and temples.
Prepare bows, arrows and iron cannons, force him to come out, and then shoot."
Sanhao Changyi thought for a long time and nodded.
Matsunaga's plan was cruel, but this was the safest way to deal with such an unparalleled warrior.
———
In the temple, the Tongxin people were resting and alerting the enemy to attack the mountain.
They fought for most of the afternoon and were now tired and hungry.
Yamazaka Yukimori found some water and tribute fruits in the temple and presented them with free money.
"Your Highness, please use it."
"Are there any nuns in this temple?"
"They were all slaughtered, and the bodies were piled in the back."
Yiyin shook his head, helpless.
In troubled times, no one should pity anyone else, because his life is hanging by a thread.
He reluctantly drank some water and said.
"Put the water and tribute fruits together, and let the people of the same mind come to eat a little in turn, and the others should stay vigilant."
"Hi!"
Just as he was talking, there was sudden movement from the bottom of the mountain. Yoshigan and Yamanaka Yukimori hurriedly used the mountain gate to cover themselves and looked down the mountain.
I saw that the Sanhao family's troops were surrounded but not attacking, and they were piling up dead trees and branches.
"They're going to set the mountain on fire! These cowards!
They didn't dare to fight with real swords and guns, but they used this despicable method to force us down.
Your Highness, I am willing to be the vanguard and protect you to kill!"
Yiyin observed it carefully and shook his head.
"no.
You see, there are many bow warriors and iron cannons at the foot of the mountain, waiting for us to rush out."
Yukisheng Yamazaka said anxiously.
"Then we have to rush! Do we just sit back and wait to be burned alive here?"
Yiyin shook his head.
"not necessarily."
He turned back and walked into the temple. In addition to the front courtyard and the main hall, there was also a side room in the back hall where the nuns lived.
"All of us, bring all the firewood and hay from the kitchen and pile them here."
Yiyin chose the hut where the nuns lived, and asked everyone to bring in a lot of burning materials.
Yamanaka Yukimori and Tongxinzhong couldn't understand, but they still obeyed and did things.
Time was tight, and Yiyin was too lazy to explain to these people what the fire rescue method was.
When encountering forest fires in previous lives, one way to escape was to burn a safe area downwind.
Because there is no combustion support in the place that has been burned, the fire cannot burn again.
Since the Sanhao army wanted to burn the mountain, Yiyin decided to burn the place where the Jiao Xing Temple was easy to burn first in order to obtain a safe zone.
Yamanaka Yukimori didn't understand this. He just saw that Yoshigin was about to throw a torch to the pile of firewood, so he pulled Yoshigin and knelt down.
"Your Highness, think twice! Your Highness, think twice! There must be a way out.
I beg Your Highness not to self-immolate to avoid humiliation, I am willing to take the lead and open the way down the mountain for Your Highness!"
Yiyin couldn't help but feel angry when she pulled her thigh and couldn't move.
Who the hell is going to set himself on fire! You Ji warriors know nothing!
