- Benedetto Croce (famous Italian literary critic, historian and philosopher)

Sanada Masayuki, who received permission from Hakumine, temporarily recruited more than 1,000 spear abutuki in Kunohe Castle, expanding the Sanada Red Reserve Army, which originally had only 1,500 people, to 3,000 people, which can be regarded as having quite good combat effectiveness.

Speaking of the expansion speed of the Sanada Red Army, Bai Feng had to sigh the benefits of a country in troubled times; the ordinary people of Kunohe City could actually take up arms and go into battle, this is the people's customs are not weaker than the barbarians!

Since the folk customs of the Yamato Empire were so strong, Hakumine didn't mind expanding the size of the Sanada Red Army, so Sanada Masayuki, who had been a military adviser to the Roman army, was reappointed by Hakumine as the commander of the Sanada Red Army.

Sanada Masayuki's two sons, Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobushi, were sent by Hakumine to Hachinohe Castle and Nobeji Castle, respectively, and their mission to these two castles was to recruit 1,000 ashigaru troops each after the Romans had captured them.

When discussing with Sanada Masayuki about the expansion of the Sanada Red Army, Sanada Masayuki informed Hakumine of the hierarchy that was customary in the Yamato Imperial Army;

Generally speaking, an Ashigaru group leader is the most junior officer in an army, responsible for commanding fifty ashigaru, and the head general of Ashigaru is the superior of the ashigaru group leader, with five Ashigaru group leaders under his command, plus a team of ashigaru directly under him, for a total strength of about 300 ashigaru.

The number of ashigaru generals under the command of a general is not fixed, but there will be no less than four ashigaru generals, and the number of troops under his command is about 2,000 people.

The highest-ranking generals in the ordinary army are hardly considered to exist in the officer class, but belong to the real general class; in any Yamato imperial power, the generals are the main generals of an army, with a very high status and very great power.

The family elders above the generals are no longer considered to be the rank in the army, but a sign of entering the core of a family; the three city lords sent by the southern family are all the elders of the southern family before they leave the three cities to serve as the city lords.

After learning about the military hierarchy of the Yamato Empire, Hakumine, who had followed the customs of the locals, appointed Sanada Masayuki as the first general of Rome in the Yamato Empire, and his two sons were appointed by Shiramine as the general of Rome City.

From the supreme governor of the Sanada family to the general of the city of Rome, the phrase "impermanence" may have more connotations for Sanada Masayuki. Once upon a time, he went all the way from the head of the ashigaru group, soared to become the lord of the city, and even became an independent daimyo.

It is a pity that the domineering Oda family destroyed the fruits of Sanada Masayuki's decades of hard work, and perhaps, from the time the Sanada family narrowly escaped the siege of the Oda family, the Sanada family was destined to become the opponent of the Oda family.

Sanada Masayuki, who was devoted to Shiramine and the city of Rome, soon reaped another glory in his life, and when the army of Rome appeared under the castle of Sannohe, the slain southern families finally stopped their civil war.

After six days of frenzied siege of the city, less than 2,000 of the 4,000-strong army of the southern Haruki and Izumiyama Kokang remained; Hachinohe Masaei, who hurried to Sanhe Castle, did not defeat the army of the southern Haruki in the field, but was defeated by the fierce general Izumiyama Kokan.

If it weren't for Nanbu Nobunao opening the city gate in time and taking the initiative to attack Hachinohe Masaei, perhaps Hachinohe Masaei's army would have been completely annihilated by the fierce Izumiyama Kokang; even with Nanbu Nobunao's rescue, Hachinohe Masaei's 3,000-strong army had suffered more than 1,000 casualties.

Nanbu Shinnao, who held on to Sanhe Castle, had nearly 4,000 soldiers, but after the battle to rescue Hachinohe Masaei, he was able to obtain more than 1,000 soldiers from Hachinohe Masaei, but the total number of troops dropped to 3,500.

The reason why Nanbu Shinnao has the superior forces and chooses to hold on to Sanhe Castle is not because he doesn't want to quickly defeat Nanbu Haruki and dominate the Southern Family, but because he knows that the army under Nanbu Haruhi is the strongest army in the Southern Family.

What's more, Quanshan Gukang, the lord of the Wild Border Underground City, who has always firmly supported Nanfang Qingji, is one of the most brave and skilled generals in the Southern Family, and the gap between the two sides in terms of military combat effectiveness and generals makes Nanbu Shinao dare not easily go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Nanfang Qingji.

Originally, Nanbu Nobunao also put all his victory beliefs on Hachinohe Masaei, but he didn't expect that Hachinohe Masaei's army was easily defeated by Izumiyama Kokan's army;

As soon as the army of Nobunao in the south had left Sanhe Castle, Haruki in the south seized this opportunity and launched a fierce attack on the army of Nobunao in the south with Izumiyama Gukang, and a fierce battle made the army of Nobunao in the south pay a very heavy price.

As the battle of Sanhe Castle entered the seventh day, the army of the southern Haruki, who was almost exhausted, launched their last attack on the castle, and according to the plan of the southern Haruki and Izumiyama Koyasu, if they could not take the castle today, they would have to retreat.

The frenzied attack made the battle enter a white-hot state from the beginning, and the total strength of the two sides participating in the battle was only more than 5,000 people, but they played the momentum of tens of thousands of troops fighting to the death, which made Bai Feng, who was quietly watching the battle on the sidelines, feel very surprised.

It seems that whether it is the Warring States Period of Japan on the earth, or the Yamato Empire of this world, their madness and desperateness are the same! Seeing that Nanbu Qingji's attack was about to be defeated again, the smiling Bai Feng finally gave the order for the whole army to attack.

Woowoo...... Woowoo......

As the roaring trumpets sounded from the east of Minohe Castle, the Roman army hidden in the jungle to the east of Minohe Castle slowly walked out of the jungle and began to advance in the direction of Minohe Castle.

At this time, the Sanada Red Reserve Army was not the 3,000 soldiers of a few days ago, and the newly recruited ashigaru troops of Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi arrived in time to the main army where the Sanada Red Reserve Army was, and with their rendezvous, the size of the Sanada Red Reserve Army reached 5,000 people!

The southern family army, surrounded by the Roman army and the Sanada Red Army, still had no intention of turning the war into a jade silk, and the southern Haruki resolutely abandoned the attack on Sannohe Castle and then reorganized the army to prepare for the attack of the Roman army.

He knew that the army under his command was definitely no match for the Roman army, but he still chose to face the attack of the Roman army without hesitation.

It's not that Nanfang Qingji is unwilling to withdraw immediately, but he can't withdraw anymore, and the fierce fighting and fighting have consumed all the physical strength of Nanfang Qingji's army, and they can only stay and face if they can't run.
