Eight hundred and thirtieth chapters Shiri Tezaka encounters the ambush
In Inami Town, it was not surprising that Yoshigan Shiba encountered the fierce formation of the Ichigo clan and refused to stop the horse.
Further south is Ruiquan Temple. He approached there twice and escaped from the encirclement by attacking in the east and west. No matter how stupid Ichigo was, he should have known to guard against him coming a third time.
So he turned from southwest to northwest, intending to pass through Fukuno and reach the Koyabe River. He had walked this road in a circle last time and was familiar with it.
In the south of Higashinojiri Village, there is a raised slope, which quickly crosses over to Fukuno.
When the Yiyin cavalry arrived on the slope, flags were already flying at the bottom of the slope, and there were countless Buddhist flags and cloth banners writing to Namo Amitabha.
Yiyin was stunned on the spot, as the continuous sound of conchs sounded from the bottom of the slope, and a conch was blown up and floated into the distance.
He turned around and looked around. Sand and dust were flying along the way, and the roar of people was already blocking the rear.
The armies on both sides of the northwest were waiting for him coldly, with the blocked path behind him. Only the southwest side had a thin army.
An idea came to Yiyin's mind, surrounding the three towers.
Behind him, Kawada Changqin stepped forward and reminded him.
"You can't go to the southwest of the Imperial Palace.
The enemy troops are sparse, but they are well organized, and there will be horse traps wherever there is space."
Yiyin nodded.
He looked into the distance and saw the horse seals hanging high like a series of lanterns in front of him, which should be the main formation of Yori Teru. This bastard is really ruthless. He put the army here and bet that Yiyin will take this road.
Yiyin thought bitterly that she had really won the bet. He said decisively.
"Change horses, break out with all your strength, and let's go back."
A group of people quickly changed their horses, no longer conserving horsepower, and galloped backwards. They intended to escape from the encirclement before the road was completely blocked.
There was a commotion from the Xiang Zong army behind them, and several mobile horses were carried to the front of the formation. The bows and arrows were thrown out without hesitation, forming a rain of arrows outside the range.
Kamaojigo shouted from Yoshigin's side.
"Odaisho! No! They have gathered too many bows and arrows, and we can't rush through!"
Yiyin gritted his teeth and waved to indicate that the cavalry was outside the effective killing range of the arrows and turned back. Even so, the thrown arrows still hit several horses, and then they fell to the ground with a cry.
Yixiang Zong gathered a large number of bowmen and arrows, and tried to intimidate the cavalry from a distance at all costs, just to force the cavalry back. Yiyin had to lead the cavalry back to the slope to face Yixiang Zong's military formation.
Shiba Yiyin pointed at the gap between the southwest trap and the northwest army formation and shouted.
"Let's rush over!"
———
In the distance, the shogunate of the main shogunate. Shimoma Yori was looking at the black spots on the hillside with a smile on his lips.
"Command down, don't shoot arrows. Use gun array to round up, I want to catch them alive!"
From the moment Shiba Yoshiyin turned around, Yoriteru Shimoma already knew.
Sibo Yiyin, even if you are unparalleled in the world, you will fall into my trap this time.
———
Time goes back to before Shiba Yiyin was besieged, Higashiyama saw the village.
Jiangma Huisheng shook her head, speechless. She just wanted to scare the local Xiang Zong, attract nearby troops, and distract attention for Sibo Yiyin's breakout.
I didn't expect that this place would be so empty and almost unguarded. Where have all the military forces of the Xiang Zong gone? Is it in Sangu in the north?
Ema Huisei was hesitant, not knowing whether to return to Hida Country or continue north to Mitani to attract the enemy's attention.
While she was hesitating, Ii Naomasa dragged a nun to her. It looked a bit ridiculous for a short childish girl to drag a plump, white and fat nun.
The nun was so frightened that she trembled into a ball and almost rolled over. Ii Naomasa, who was pushing and pulling hard beside her, was panting.
Jiang Ma Huisheng wanted to laugh, but still held back and asked.
"Iiji, what's going on?"
Ii Naomasa was the person whom Yoshihiro Shiba had specially entrusted before leaving, so Ema Huiseng had to pay attention to her.
The little girl wiped the sweat from her forehead and said solemnly.
"Lord Jiang Ma, this is the nun stationed in the village. Please listen to her confession.
You thief! Say what you just said to this gentleman again! Hurry up!"
The nun clasped her hands together and kept bowing.
"Sir, I am just a little nun, and the matter of fighting with the Wu family is really not something I can decide.
Just let me go! I still have a small amount of money and Yongle Tongbao in the Buddhist temple in the village, so I will treat it as a small nun's tribute to all the Ji warriors."
Ii Naomasa glared and cursed.
"Who told you to say this!"
She pulled out half of the knife, which frightened the nun into kowtowing repeatedly.
"All the nearby troops were sent to Higashinojiri, saying they were rounding up the nobles.
Mitsuya is guarded by the Shiina clan, and over Inami are the nuns from Zuisen Temple. The manpower from other villages has gone to Higashinojiri, and the nearby villages have been evacuated!
Sir, spare your life, I told you!"
Jiang Ma Huisheng's pupils shrank, thinking about the nearby terrain in his mind, and shouted.
"not good!"
Yoriteru Shimoma did not expect anyone from her Ema family to come, thinking that there were less than a hundred people under Shiba Yiyin's command. Therefore, the nearby villages did not arrange much military strength, and only defended Mitani with the rebellion of the samurai family of the Shiina family.
Jiangma Huisheng has some regrets.
If he had known this, he should have walked north with Shiba Yiyin. Break through the obstruction of Dongshanjian and Sanguxian, and go directly back to Fuyin County.
Both Shiba Yoshigan and himself misjudged, and Shimoma Yoroteru also misjudged. Both sides speculated back and forth, but still let Shimoma Yoriteru succeed, and Shiba Yoshigan would most likely run into Higashinojiri's ambush.
Ii Naomasa said urgently.
"Lord Jiangma, we must notify the imperial office immediately and we cannot let her rush into the trap."
Jiang Ma Huisheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"There are one man and three horses on the other side of the Imperial Palace. There is no way we can catch up with him. Even if we catch up, we have already entered an ambush."
She turned to ask the nun.
"Where did Shimoma Yoriteru set up the ambush?"
"Shiritarizaka in the southern part of Higashinojiri."
Jiang Ma Huisheng frowned, knowing that Sibo Yiyin would probably not be able to escape this disaster.
Shiba Yiyin's cavalry was heading southwest when it encountered obstacles at Jingbo, and its whereabouts had been exposed. It was impossible for him to go back to the upper reaches of the Shochuan River and waste time repeatedly. Taking advantage of the trend and rushing northwest was the best strategy.
But this best strategy was won by Shimo Yoritau in a bet. When the two armies faced each other in a game, the one who lost the bet had to admit it and pay the price.
Ema Huisheng was still thinking about something on his mind, but Ii Naomasa was already worried and shouted.
"Lord Ema, we must go to Shiritari Saka immediately to rescue Odaisho!"
Ema Huisheng lowered his head to think about something and ignored her. In her eyes, Ii Naomasa was just a child. For the sake of Shiba Yiyin's face, she just took more care of him on weekdays.
Jiangma Huisheng really doesn't want to get involved in the current situation, let alone listen to a child's orders.
Dongshanjian Village is not far from the mountain pass, so she can retreat into the mountainous area at any time. The Jiangma family's troops are all mountain people, and walking on the mountain road is like walking on flat ground. Xiangzong has always been unable to hold her.
But if we go to Higashinojiri, which is dozens of miles away from the mountainous area, a group of people rush there in such a hurry that they are already half dead from exhaustion.
Even if they join forces with Spo Yiyin, they are still surrounded. This is not a rescue, this is a food delivery.
