When the Hojo Army on the Kokufutai battlefield "crossed the river at night with the sound of whips", Kawagoe Castle on the Musashi National Battlefield also quietly opened the gates.

Huang Bei, led by Hojo Tsusunari, and the Imagawa army led by Taiyuan Yukisai quietly marched in the starry night.

Three hours ago, Taiyuan Yukisai urgently summoned the senior generals of the Hojo Army.

In the Hojo family, which was full of stars, and on the Kawagoe battlefield, which had the military strength of yellow, black, and white in the five colors, the Hojo clan did not appoint the famous Hojo Tsunari as the main general, but invited the Yukisai monk of the Imagawa army to take the role, which really puzzled the generals of the Hojo family.

After entering Heyue City, Taiyuan Xuezhai was extremely cautious in adopting the strategy of holding out, which made the fierce generals of the Hojo family very breathless and uncomfortable.

Hojo Tsuna's achievements are typical of this.

He was already dissatisfied with his failure to serve as a general, and during these days he was ordered to only defend and not attack.

If it weren't for Hojo Shiyasu's repeated requests in private letters, he would have not listened to Xuesai's dispatch a long time ago.

After a fierce battle just experienced today, Tsusunari pacified the wounded soldiers, and was about to go to bed, but was summoned by Xue Zhai.

The long-tail army has already touched the gate of Heyue City, and Taiyuan Xuezhai has only held a military meeting at this time, is it too late?

For a time, more than half of the Hojo generals had this idea, and they looked at Taiyuan Xuezhai in a high position coldly, and they wanted to see the jokes of the Xuezhai monks.

But how can Taiyuan Xuezhai be a joke?

Xue Zhai is tall, but thin and thin, and he is described as withered, and sitting there is like a dead stump, if he stands up, he will be a dead old tree.

Although he is profoundly knowledgeable and has excellent military methods, in the eyes of outsiders, he looks like an old monk who is about to die.

These days, except for Anhara Tadayin and Matsudaira Motonobu who came with Xuezhai, no one really regards him as a general of the First Army, and the generals of the Hojo side seem to have forgotten the battle between the Imagawa family and the Hojo family many years ago, and forgot that Taiyuan Chongfu Xuesai was once a brave general.

After the main generals arrived, Xue Zhai stood up suddenly.

This time he is no longer a dead tree, but a giant.

A giant who exudes a majestic momentum from head to toe, and a samurai who is the best in Tokaido.

In the eyes of Matsudaira Motoshin and Anhara Tadashi, Yukisai's imagination at this moment turned out to be somewhat similar to the dead Imagawa Yoshimoto.

If there is a teacher, there must be an apprentice, Imagawa Yoshimoto is a giant of Tokaido, why can't his teacher be a giant?

The atmosphere in the field changed sharply, the generals of the Hojo family stared at Yukisai with wide eyes, and Hojo Tsusunari also recalled the Hanakura Rebellion many years ago, and the things that had long sunk into the depths of memory were violently salvaged, and the turbid waves rolled in Tsunari's mind.

It's him...... It is the Taiyuan Chongfu Xuezhai with a Buddha bead in one hand and a butcher knife in the other!

In the memories of Hojo Tsunari when he was a teenager, including the death of his father in battle and the fall of Hanakura Castle, he came to Hojo's house for many years, and Tsusunari had already made a name for himself, and he thought that he had forgotten the hellish scene under Hanakura Castle back then......

And that hellish black-clad monk!

Hojo Tsunade thought that he had forgotten it, but today because of a look from Taiyuan Xuezhai, he remembered everything in an instant, and it was very clear.

Unconsciously, Tsunade clenched his fists...... Although it is inappropriate to disagree with each other and draw a knife, he is not afraid of drawing a knife with Taiyuan Xuezhai at this moment.

But Xuezhai's next sentence made Tsunade fall into complete doubt:

"I mean, night attack Long-tailed Radiance Tiger!"

As soon as the words came out, the generals who originally regarded Xuezhai as a half-cut old monk stopped breathing.

Of course, Taiyuan Xuezhai is an old monk who has half cut into the ground, but this old monk, who is also the master of the first bow to take Imagawa Yoshimoto in the Tokaido, is the general of the Heyue battlefield.

No one stood up to refute, not even a word of suspicion, and after that moment of shock and consternation, the generals of the Hojo family looked at each other, and their eyes were full of doubt.

"Yuanxin...... Tell everybody. ”

Yukisai instructed Matsudaira Motoshin to explain to everyone, and he sat down again, but this time he ...... No one thought that what was sitting there was a dead stump anymore.

"Today, the coalition forces have broken through two wooden fences and trenches in succession, which can be said to be a great victory, and the morale is unprecedentedly high. And...... Due to the fact that they could not hold out for dozens of consecutive days, the coalition forces had long since decided that our side was a weak soldier who was cowardly and afraid of war, and could only hide behind the city walls and did not dare to go out of the city to fight. ”

Matsudaira Motoshin is not very old, but he is extremely calm, and he is also the head of the way, but the generals of the Hojo family will not buy his account, they are afraid of the momentum of Xuesai, but they will not put Matsudaira Motoshin in their eyes, so they all looked at each other coldly, and many of them also sneered.

"All this...... It's all for tonight's showdown! ”

Nani?

Both eyes were fixed on Yuan Xin, who was only thirteen years old, but Yuan Xin still said unhurriedly:

"Holding on and refusing to fight in the field is just a trick to confuse the long-tailed tiger. The reason why our army is so cautious is to make the coalition forces think that it is ...... Our army does not dare to fight! The military law cloud, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, the long-tail army attacked the city for more than ten consecutive days. The situation has long been declining, and our army has swallowed its anger and recuperated its strength, and both its morale and the combat strength of its soldiers have increased by more than a few points compared with before.

"The difference between strength and weakness, the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed! Now, it's time for our army to strike back! ”

With such inspiring words, the fierce generals of the Hojo family immediately blushed and prepared to attack the coalition army at night.

"Yes...... Lord Taiyuan has decided to launch a night attack tonight, the morale of the coalition forces is weakened, light and unprepared, and our army will be able to win a complete victory! ”

"Oh!"

The generals gathered in response, waving their fists and roaring.

No one noticed that there was a trace of worry in the eyes of Taiyuan Xuezhai, who was in the upper position.

He was worried about victory or defeat on the battlefield of Guofutai.

The rainy season has ended, and Sasa Narimasa will lead a cavalry team south, which will be of great use, I wonder if he can defeat Hojo Shiyasu?

Among the generals present, he was the only one who knew that Sasa Narumasa had secretly gone south, not because he had secret dealings with Narumasa, but because Yukisai saw the clues from the anomaly of the Nagao Army.

Hojo Shiyasu personally led his army to aid the Kokufutai battlefield, but Nagao Terutora did not respond to this, and instead intensified his attack on Kawagoe Castle.

-- She either didn't care about the life or death of the Kanto heroes, or she was using the act of besieging the city to cover up something.

Like what...... The fact that Sasa Narumasa is no longer on the battlefield of Hagoe.

He didn't tell anyone this secret, and he was confident that among the Hojo generals here, no one could see through it.

If Sasa really succeeds, it will also make Xuesai feel very gratified.

- How can you allow others to snore on the side of the couch? As the Lion of Sagami, Hojo Shiyasu is a major threat to the Imagawa family, who have lost Yoshimoto.

As he passed through the two trenches, which had been almost filled, Yukisai looked up at the sky and saw the stars dim, and the moon, which should have been as bright as a mirror, hung like an egg yolk on the edge of the sky with a dim glow.
