Ryoko held Hojo Shizong's hand and said, "Shizong, you promise me not to die here, you must go to Kasai Valley to find us." ”

Hojo Shizong smiled faintly and said, "Okay, mother, I promise you." ”

Ryoko sighed lightly, turned to Zhuzi and Fangzi and said, "Let's go, don't get in the way of men doing business here." ”

Zhuzi and Yoshiko bowed obediently and walked out after Ryoko. After reluctantly looking back a few times, Zhuzi quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Hojo Tokimune quietly looked in the direction they were going, silent, and everyone accompanied him without saying a word.

After a long time, Hojo Shizong stood up and said calmly: "You all go and rest, there is a hard battle tomorrow, and we will compete with Cheng Yue!" ”

Everyone saluted and said in unison, "Yes!" "Hang your head and go out, and go your separate ways.

In the dead of night, the defenders of Yamauchi Sakaguchi could faintly hear the cries of women coming from the outer castle of Kamakura and the wild laughter of the Song and Yuan coalition forces, and could also see the fires rising everywhere.

His relatives are being slaughtered, his mother, wife, and sisters are being ravaged, and the more than 60,000 elite and temporarily recruited Kanto samurai in Sakaguchi are helpless, and there is no possibility of even fighting!

Some people hugged their heads and cried, some people were sad, and some people simply got drunk.

What an agony it was!

There is nothing more painful in the world than this!

In the alleys of Kamakura's inner castle, untidy samurai roared madly and ran past, followed by a hysterical cry that disturbed the people and made it impossible to rest, but no one would reproach them.

The anger in the hearts of the Kwantung samurai has been completely ignited!

Hojo Tokimune's judgment was correct, if someone went out to talk about peace at this time, they would definitely be torn to pieces!

That night was a sleepless night for both sides, with the Song and Yuan coalitions reveling and the Kamakura shogunate tossing and turning in agony.

Hojo Tokimune lay alone on the tatami mat and couldn't sleep. First, I was worried about the night attack of the Song and Yuan coalition forces, second, I was worried about the situation of the Japanese army outside, third, I hated the atrocities of the Song and Yuan coalition forces, and finally I was full of remorse!

Fujiwara Jingzi sent spies to the Great Song Dynasty, and he supported it, which angered Cheng Yue. Kublai Khan sent envoys to Japan several times, even if he was not satisfied with Kublai Khan's condescending attitude, he could not kill him!

This is good, the little Japan provoked the Great Yuan and the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, and Cheng Yue, an unpredictable person, led the army to the east, all the way to Kamakura, he was to blame! The eight generations of the Hojo clan are in power, is it going to be buried in his hands?!

It wasn't until almost dawn that Hojo Tokimune fell asleep in a daze, but was soon awakened by the sound of running outside.

Hojo Tokimune opened the door with red eyes and shouted to the retainers who were fleeing in a hurry outside, "What's the matter? ”

Seeing that Hojo Tokimune had woken up, the retainers hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Ruling Authority, I heard an explosion in the back mountain of Kasai Valley just now, and Tokimura-sama has already sent someone to investigate, and let us not go to Kasai Valley yet, I was about to inform you." ”

Hojo Tokimune was taken aback, and his sleepiness disappeared, and he said, "The back mountain of Kasai Valley? Then there is the sea beyond that, how can there be a sound? Then he suddenly remembered something, and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat all over his body, and shouted: "It's not good! Cheng Yue used the water army to copy my back road! After speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed, and muttered: "It's over, how did I forget that there is still this trick, and now no one can leave!" ”

The retainer's face turned pale with fright, and he said tremblingly: "Lord Ruling Authority, do you want to send someone to Kasai Valley to pick up Liangquan Ni and the ladies immediately?" ”

Hojo Shizong slowly sat on the ground and said with a wry smile: "The back mountain is defenseless, and if you hear the explosion, it means that the Song army has occupied the top of the mountain and started to attack downward!" Where will they come back? Kill or be captured, there is no third way. ”

At this time, Hojo Tokimura, Hojo Tokikoku, Bizen Taiyo, Echigo Sun Taro and others arrived one after another, and after hearing the words of Hojo Tokimune from the mouths of the retainers, they were all stunned!

Hojo Tokimura reacted in time and stepped forward and said, "Lord Ruling Authority, let's send reinforcements!" ”

Hojo Tokizong said depressedly: "How to reinforce?" Kasai Valley is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the Song army has an advantage in strength and weapons, so how many people do we send over is not a dead end?! ”

Hojo Tokikuni didn't give up, and said, "I'll take someone over to take a look, maybe it's not so dangerous." ”

Hojo Shizong didn't want to say anything more, and waved his hand: "Give you 10,000 people, go quickly." With that, he went back into the house without looking back.

Hojo Tokikuni bowed to the place where Hojo Tokimune was standing, and said to himself with remorse, "We should have thought of it! ”

Hojo Tokimura shook his head and sighed: "Who would have thought that Cheng Yue would actually send someone to take such a long detour to attack Kamakura directly from the sea?" And the news has not leaked at all, it can be seen that Cheng Yue's navy is strong and the strength of the army is really breathtaking! ”

Bizen Taiyun gritted his teeth and said, "But how did Cheng Yue get the chart?" Is there a mole in Kamakura? ”

Hojo Tokimura suddenly raised his head and said: "The army is pressing, don't mention this again!" ”

Bizen shook his fist hatefully and closed his mouth tightly. At this moment, they are no longer allowed to go out of their way to investigate whether there is a mole.

Hojo Tokikoku: "I'm leaving!" He bowed slightly, turned and ran away. He couldn't transfer troops from Yamauchi Sakaguchi, he could only use the civilian warriors who were temporarily recruited as the main force, but he was facing the most elite Song army, and he had no advantage in terrain and weapons, so he was simply going to die!

The Kasai Valley was not far from the Yamanuchi Temple, and when Hojo Tokikuni gathered his army and arrived, the battle in the valley was still raging.

Li Ting, Liu Guojie, Dunkan, and Xie Xian of the Cantonese Navy gathered enough strength on several islands off the coast of Kamakura, and immediately sent troops after receiving the signal from Angier, and quietly landed at nightfall last night, easily wiped out the defenders on the shore, and then marched quickly to the rear of the Kasai Valley. After discovering that there were indeed no defenders on the mountain, he immediately occupied the top of the mountain, but did not make a noise, but ordered the whole army to camp and rest, and the artillery and the Shandong army accompanying the army transported weapons and ammunition to the mountain, and arranged the route to launch an attack after dawn.

At the same time, Ryoko took Zhuzi, Yoshiko, Sadatoki, Shitoki and others into the houses built halfway up the Kasai Valley at night, and Hojo Soyori had been waiting for a long time.

When Hojo Soyori saw them coming, he immediately arranged for them to rest. 10,000 elite soldiers of the Hojo clan have arrived, and they have no houses to live in, so they can only live in caves or improvised bamboo huts. Fortunately, it is very comfortable in the summer, except for more mosquitoes, there is nothing to complain about. (To be continued.) )
