With the addition of nearly a thousand monks, the number of participants on the side of the sun does not set has been increased to the same position as the side of the Zunmu faction, and the side of the Zunmu faction is a combination of the defeated army and the ashigaru, and its combat ability is not as good as the side of the sun does not set, the combination of the katana master soldiers and the ancient martial arts master monks, plus the throwing of the can bow as a long-range support firepower, in the early stage of the battle of Honnoji, the Zunmu faction was basically in a state of death.

In order to survive, the Shogunate faction Ashigaru struggled to climb over the courtyard wall of Honnoji Temple, but was frightened by the scythes in the hands of the monks and ran away; Ashigaru, who still had some fighting spirit, ignited and destroyed the gates around the Honnoji Temple in the cheers, but was wiped by the members of the Changyi team in the last round; As for the cowardly Ashigaru who supported the battlefield in front with a samurai bow in the rear, he couldn't even lift his head before he could shoot a moment before he was suppressed by the canned bow. More than 2,000 defeated troops rushed to the battlefield with anticipation, but after leaving hundreds of corpses on the battlefield, they fled back to the rear in despair.

Perhaps it was the divine grace that these Mahayana Buddhists believed in, and just when the people were desperate, more than 1,000 Xiyi soldiers suddenly appeared around the Honnoji Temple, but these figures were so embarrassed that neither the Shogunate sect nor the eldest son of the Hyuga believed that this group of people belonged to their side.

After a short period of understanding, the people of the Zunmu faction realized that these more than 1,000 people were none other than the rebel soldiers who had escaped from the back gate of the castle tower after the defeat of the mountain castle tower, and at this time, the number of this force had not only shrunk from more than 4,000 people to more than 1,000 people, but even the weapons he was equipped with.

At present, in this team of 1,000 people, those who were previously equipped with spears and scythes. The larger ashigaru samurai, such as the samurai bow, had already thrown away their original weapons, and now all of them were armed with only a katana for self-defense. And these people didn't even have a decent samurai armor on their bodies, and some of them were already very good enough to wrap two layers of clothing, and most of them were wearing only a tattered linen coat.

Looking at the so-called "support force" in front of him, the eldest son of the Hyuga family didn't know whether to cry or laugh now, although when the Sunset Army attacked the Gangpu Castle Tower before, the eldest son of the Hyuga family had already guessed the possibility of the Ueno Castle Tower being captured, but he always firmly believed that even if the battle of Ueno was lost, it would not be too badly defeated, and his troops must have retreated backwards when the battle was lost, even if it was found that the Sunset side had occupied Honnoji Temple before, The eldest son of the Hyuga family also only felt that the defeated army of the Ueno Tenshu should be lost: "The terrain in Shikoku Island is complicated, and the retreating Ueno defenders are just lost. "It's the idea that the eldest son of the Hyuga family firmly believes, but now ...............

Disappointment to disappointment, the eldest son of the Hyuga family still accepted these routs, because these people were still needed in the next battle, and then there were two more rout armies of the Zunmu faction, adding up to nearly 1,000 people, don't guess that these rout troops came from the defenders of the two cities of Hizen and Higo that were captured together.

As the army of the Shogunate faction expanded to more than 3,000 people, the entire army of the Shogunate faction regained their confidence and regrouped to attack Honnoji Temple again, and there were indeed some riots on the monks' side in response to what had happened before, but the Shoyoshi team did not, and after Captain Sasaki handed an envelope taken from a war eagle to the Ikyu master, the monks' riots also subsided, and they fought as before.

Although there were many more Xiyi samurai in the team of the Shomu faction in this attack, for the members of the Shoyi team, there was only a layer of samurai armor that did not exist between the samurai and the ashigaru, and the similarity between the two was that they were all scum to the members of the Shoyi team.

And it didn't take long for the battle situation to change again, because in the rear of the Zunmu faction's team, many figures gradually appeared, wearing heavy armor and holding pulley crossbows or swords and shields, although they were all out of breath, but the will to fight was very high, and in the ranks, the bright red Three Lions Flag was particularly bright.

A horn sounded, and nearly a thousand heavily armed swordsmen immediately rushed into the weak rear of the Shogun's side, while the giant crossbowmen who existed in a skirmish formation around them stopped and fired crossbow arrows at the bows and arrows that had previously killed the monks and members of the Shoyi team with samurai bows. At the same time, the members of the Shoyi team guarding the gates around the temple also began to surprise outward, and it did not take long for the troops of the Shogunate faction to be completely surrounded.

The battle of Honnoji also turned into a battle of annihilation, although dozens of defeated troops fled the battlefield before the encirclement network was formed, but they did not know the way, the direction of their escape, at this time there were two other sunset encirclement and suppression troops marching here in a hurry, so these dozens of fleeing ashigaru only ended up being killed by the arrows of the giant shield crossbowmen.

When the last two armies of the sun do not set encirclement and suppression troops arrived at the Honnoji Temple, the annihilation battle outside the Honno Temple was also drawn, so far the Shikoku Island has completed the assessment, and there is no army on the island to resist the Sunset Empire, the birthplace of Shintoism, the Honnoji Temple has restored tranquility again, and the Xiyi craftsmen summoned by Sun Lin from the Shikoku Island also arrived at the Honnoji Temple a few days later, and began to rebuild and expand this ancient temple containing thousands of years of cultural heritage, and the presiding master of the Honnoji Temple was restarted after seeing the Honnoji Temple restarted. Escorted by thousands of army soldiers before the sun sets, he went to Gangpu City to meet Sun Lin and gave him a favor.

At this time, Sun Lin had already been stationed in the Jingangpu Castle Tower with the Sunset Battleship that had not participated in the battle before, which was currently in the area controlled by the Sunset Empire, the closest to Kyoto Island, and the Maori family's Maori Yuan came with it, but this time Maori Yuan did not bring any of the Maori naval forces to the port of Gangpu City.

"Your Majesty, this is what you call a plan to encircle the point and send reinforcements, but now that this point has been destroyed, will the shogunate send new troops to support? And now the Shogunate faction has no ships to fight on. ”

"Don't worry, with the help of your family's ninjas, the intelligence network that never sets has penetrated into the interior of the belly family's intelligence network, and it is not difficult to modify the information they transmit, I believe that before they entered our siege network, they still firmly believed that there were their remaining troops on Shikoku Island, as for the battle ships, the Shoku faction did not, but the Loyal Emperor faction did, and our intelligence network personnel will help the Zunmu faction to seize the few remaining warships in the United Nations in the Xiyi Islands from the side of the Loyal Emperor."

"So............ We just have to think about how to keep the second counterattack force behind, right? ”

"No, all our fleet has to do is think about how to collect the loot next, and then they will keep themselves on their own."
