Head.

A severed head.

A human head with a disheveled beard and a hideous expression.

The human head is now being stuck with a gun, and it is being picked in front of Sasa Narumasa.

This is the head of the ...... "Hojo Shiyasu" cut off by Keiji Maeda.

The capture of Hojo Shiyasu declared the victory of the Battle of Kokufutai.

He took the Hojo clan and announced the victory of the Kanto battle and the Hojo crusade.

But not only Sasa Narumasa, but even Keiji Maeda, who cut off this head, was also a samurai on horseback with nearly a thousand Echigo...... None of them were happy.

Sazuo Chengzheng also wanted to laugh, but at this moment, his face was more bitter than bitter melon.

Even if he hadn't seen Ichyasu, he should have known that Hojo had a scar on his face, and this head had a lot of wounds on his face, but none of them had a scar on his face.

This is not Hojo Shiyasu...... He is Tominaga Nakatsu.

Sasa was extremely annoyed, but the annoyance was useless.

Because...... It was he who let Hojo Shiyasu go with his own hands, and he was still able to win over the other party!

The commander of the Aobei who had fled north in the guise of Tominaga Naokuma could only be the Hojo clan...... Sasa Seimasa also had a face-to-face trick with him......

"Cross the river! Assault on Edo! ”

Sasa Narumasa gave a military order with a calm face, as if he wanted to squeeze out the potential of the samurai on horseback, and he did not leave any time to rest.

Because...... They don't have time anymore.

Since Hojo Shiyasu is not dead, this battle is not over yet.

Zuo Zuo Chengzheng has made thousands of calculations, but he still hasn't counted three things, and it is these three things that make Zuo Zuo Chengzheng's painstaking plans almost all in vain.

The second thing that Sasa Narumasa didn't calculate was that Hojo Shiyasu would actually risk his life and pretend to be Naokakatsu Tominaga and lead a few people to escape.

Although Shiyasu's miraculous stroke could not undo the defeat of the Hojo Army in the Kokufutai battlefield, it also succeeded in disgusting Sasa Narumasa and leaving the coalition forces unfinished.

The first thing Sasa didn't count was the end of the rainy season.

He didn't expect that when the rainy season ended, he was catching up with Aunt Jinghu.

Menstrual cramps are not a disease, but they kill people.

Zuo Zuo Chengzheng couldn't share the pain for Sister Jinghu, so he could only lead the cavalry team on behalf of Sister Jinghu, and promoted from the "general" grid to the "king" grid, and continued to carry out the decisive battle strategy of "soldier against soldier, king against king".

According to the previous plan of the two of them, the person who led the Echigo cavalry team to suppress the daimyo such as Satake and Satomi, and who had a hard anus on the battlefield of Kofutai, should be Sister Jinghu. But Sister Jinghu can't even ride a horse, let alone command the battle.

Sasa Narumasa was promoted to "king", and it was not impossible to win against Hojo Shiyasu, but his move of leading the horse team to the south made the biggest loophole in the victory situation of the coalition army!

All the risks of the coalition are on Sister Jinghu.

It is impossible to command the battle, let alone lead the coalition forces to break through Kawagoe Castle, and it is fortunate that the current situation can be maintained, and it is already fortunate that it will not be counterattacked by the Hojo Army.

――This is the agreement reached by Sasa Chengzheng and Sister Jinghu before setting off from the Hayue battlefield.

But their expectations were shattered again.

The two of them could not have imagined that Taiyuan Xuesai, the general of the Hojo side in the Heyue battlefield, saw through Narumasa's move to the south, so he launched a counteroffensive in advance, and it was in the form of a night attack.

This is also the third thing that Sasa Chengzheng did not calculate.

The night battle of the river, the second night battle of the river in ten years!

Ten years ago, Hojo Tsusunari broke into the coalition army with the military flag of "Hachiman Great Bodhisattva", and achieved the reputation of "Jihuang Hachiman" in one fell swoop.

Ten years later, Hojo Tsusunari once again broke into the coalition with the banner of the "Hachiman Bodhisattva", and had already stormed into the camp of the Nagao Army.

Ten years ago, the leader of the coalition forces, Uesugi Kenmasa, fled back to Hirai Castle in disarray, and the 80,000-strong army disappeared.

Ten years later, the leader of the coalition army, Nagao Teruto, sat firmly in the army, allowing the Hojo army to massacre the armies of the Ueno and Shimono wealthy clans, and also watched Hojo Tsusunari break into the army.

Uesugi Kenmasa was able to survive because he was timid and afraid of death, will Nagao Terutora die in this battle because he is not afraid of death?

Sasa Narumasa, who marched towards Edo Castle with a calm face, didn't know, Hojo Shiyasu, who hurried under Edo Castle, and even Taiyuan Yukisai, who was on the battlefield of Koe, didn't know.

Only Hojo Tsunari, who led Huang Bei to charge to the death, knew.

He knows...... The long-tailed tiger will die!

Whether it is a strong impact with a few strengths and a weak attack on the enemy, or for the revenge of his son, or for the sake of Tsunei's own martial luck, or for the Hojo clan's ambition to dominate the Kanto region...... The long-tailed tiger must die!

Especially after breaking into the main camp of the long-tailed Huihu, he didn't see the Huihu come out to resist for a long time, and Hojo Tsusunari was even more sure of this idea.

The reason why Taiyuan Xuezhai launched a night attack tonight, in addition to the many reasons stated by Matsudaira Motonobu, there is also a tacit thing that Xuezhai and Tsunade Chengcheng know.

Whether it is information from the ninjas of the Imagawa family and the Hojo family, or information sent by the Takeda family, it is revealed that Nagao Terutora has unbearable abdominal pain around the 10th of each month, and it is difficult to go into battle, let alone fight on horseback.

Although Xuezhai and Tsunashi both understand, they won't say it, because this is a tacit understanding between gentlemen.

At present, Tsunashi has led the army to break into the big tent of the long-tailed Huihu, but the long-tailed Huihu has not moved at all...... There is nothing wrong with the information, and there will be no mistake with the victory of Tsunari tonight!

"Kill!"

Tsunade shook the spear and shook off a severed limb hanging from the head of the spear, and he stared at the big tent with flickering lights a hundred paces away, knowing that the long-tailed Huihu was inside.

"Come with me!"

Led by Tsusunari and his mounted samurai, hundreds of people were deeply embedded in the battalion of the Nagao Army like a narrow wedge, and Hojo Tsusunari, who was at the forefront, and a dozen or so mounted samurai charged unstoppable.

Success or failure, here's it!

Victory or death!

The camp became silent for a moment, frighteningly quiet.

The sound in the ears, apart from the sound of the wind and the cry of the war horse, was only a low and rapid gasp.

The nobles of Ueno and Shimono were stunned and stood on the side of the tent in a panic, they obviously did not expect Hojo Tsunari's bravery and fearlessness, nor did they expect that in such an emergency situation, Nagao Teruto, as the commander of the coalition forces, would still be in the tent.

If you don't go to war, don't you even forget to run for your life?

The wealthy clan couldn't stop scolding, Nagano Yemori wrapped the wound on his neck, clenched his fists, and was about to break into the big tent, but was stopped by the young swordsman.

"Xiuyin, what are you doing!"

The young man who was called Xiuyin sniffled and stretched out his hand to Hojo Tsunari, who was charging towards this place:

"Don't you smell the burning arquebus?"

Nagano Yesheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, at this time, he heard people on both sides of the big tent shouting:

"Attention, the man...... It's Hojo Tsunari! ”
