1504, late August.

Raiden General sat with a cold face in a city in Musashi Country, located on the border of Shinnong and Kai.

Hojo Aso quickly walked from outside the house into the temporary residence of General Raiden, and with a somewhat anxious face, he made a courtesy to General Raiden and handed a document to General Raiden.

General Raiden calmly read the latest intelligence and looked at the huge sand table on the table, which was filled with the distribution of several forces.

"Lord General, it seems that those people are a little impatient to finish this battle of encirclement before the autumn harvest and suppress our forces to the capitals of Sagami and Musashi countries."

Hojo Aso said his reasoning based on the information he had obtained, after all, the allied forces of the Ashikaga shogunate had been close to the border of Musashi Country and were methodically organizing preparations for the siege.

Raiden Shogun, who exuded the momentum of not approaching people, said unceremoniously: "On the contrary, the Ashikaga shogunate's control over the daimyos of various countries has become unimaginably weak, and they just want to use the victory of a war to re-assert their power.

"Otherwise, the siege against us would not only involve the shogunate coalition forces in the western area and the armies of the neighboring two countries, and the forces of Mutsu, Hitachi and Kamishano watched the fire from across the shore, without any movement."

"So it is! Lord General is like a god! Hojo

Aso also slapped the needle on the horse's butt, and he knew that most of his status was given by the gods in front of him who dared not look at him directly.

General Raiden glanced at the sand table, pointed to a small plain that was somewhat flat between the two armies, and said: "Mobilize the army, and a decisive battle will be fought here in two days, and there is no order from each county and city, and it is strictly forbidden to open the city gates."

"The details of the operation, after a day of rest, complete the final dispatch."

Hojo Aso saw General Raiden's gesture, saluted General Raiden very respectfully, and quickly ran towards the barracks.

Two days later, more than 80,000 men and horses were spread across the plain, and the Shogunate and the army led by Raiden Shogun were facing each other several kilometers apart.

Among the shogunate coalition forces, the commander was looking solemnly at the neatly arranged 20,000-strong army in the distance, without any noise, and his heart was uneasy.

"Is there any way for your Onmyoji to cause a commotion on the other side, so that we can have a chance to break the enemy army."

On the side, they watched the onmyoji who were strong, wearing armor, and resolute faces showing bitter expressions.

"Sorry, Lord General, you should see that the army on the opposite side is not only high in morale but also physically strong, but the magic array we have arranged and the Shishen summoned can hardly resist the vast blood and majestic military strength of the army."

When the shogunate commander heard the answer of the Onmyoji, his heart was also helpless, he was not the nobles in Kyoto who were addicted to drunken gold, and he was well aware of the flaws of these practitioners.

If they deal with dozens or even hundreds of people, these cultivators can present the advantage of suppression, but when facing an army full of spirit and unified will, the spiritual power gathered can easily make mana and spiritual power out of the control of the practitioner, causing the cultivator to become an ordinary person.

Unless the realm of cultivators reaches the so-called "great" level strength, these cultivators can only do some assistance in real army battles.

"Lord General, we have prepared an offensive formation, whether we want to conduct a ride discussion."

The commander of the coalition army turned his head when he heard the voice, and saw a middle-aged man wearing a well-made pair and holding a long gun reporting to him, and he was naturally able to recognize the identity of the other party, Takeda Hiroyu.

A horse refers to the confrontation between military generals in ancient wars, in order to show off force and boost morale, so that the side has a better advantage.

The commander of the coalition army looked at the enemy army on the opposite side who was almost 100% armored, and he also thought in his heart, except for the large number of people on his side and the more cavalry than the opposite side, all others were at a disadvantage, and the importance of morale was more important than ever.

"Takeda-kun, in our shogunate army, your force is the strongest now, if you can cut off the opponent's head in a horse fight, I will ask General Ashikaga to hand over the position of the guardian of Musashi Kingdom to the Takeda clan."

"Yes, Lord General, I will definitely let the morale on the other side decline."

......

General Raiden was looking into the distance from the high platform of the army, wearing the same armor he had when he was in the fate of the Emperor of Misfortune, but it was more conservative.

"Has the cavalry team completed an ambush in the rear of the enemy."

"Your Excellency General, the cavalry team has been hidden in the ambush ground, and the iron artillery troops are ready to go, but the enemy of the other side will launch a cavalry against us, I don't know whether to meet it."

A military general in armor looked at General Raiden with a fanatical gaze, as if he wanted to get General Raiden's permission to behead the other party.

"This ride, Bai Yue will go, once the other party is beheaded, launch an attack, it's time for them to feel the changes of the times."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Yu Bird, who was sitting quietly on the side, heard General Raiden's order, picked up his umbrella sword, saluted General Raiden, and quickly walked forward to the front.

General Raiden saw Gu Yu Bird riding a horse, so he came to the front of the two armies and had a verbal battle with the enemy general, and then he was furious at the other side, took up his bow and arrow, and launched a long-range attack on Gu Yu Bird.

Hojo Aso walked into the high platform in the camp tent with a scowl on his face at this time, and said respectfully: "Lord General, his subordinates have investigated clearly, and the people who reported the news are the Takeda family of Kai and the Ota clan of Musashi Country. General

Raiden looked cold, and saw that Takeda Hiroshi on the opposite side was directly beheaded by the superb martial arts of Guyu Bird after picking up his spear and having several weapon exchanges with Gu Yu Bird.

"The enemy general has been killed by our army, and the iron artillery unit is ordered to carry out a surprise attack, and the Ashigaru troops are closely followed, ready to respond, and the archers take the elite troops of the shogunate as the main target."

Raiden General did not answer Hojo Aso, but gave instructions to the army to deploy and attack, and the generals immediately moved according to Raiden Shogun's command, and the training experience accumulated in peacetime immediately played an important role.

The different units immediately launched a high-speed cooperation, and the iron artillery unit with flintlock guns in their hands strode forward to charge, causing the shogunate coalition forces to be in chaos, after all, it was just an ordinary horse fight, how did you start fighting.

The commander of the coalition forces was not a general, and immediately pressed his most elite foot light troops up, while dispatching his other coalition forces to carry out a combined encirclement attack.
