HBWnovel Chapter 633 First Strike the Mori
Chapter 633 First Strike the Mori
The Kingdom of Beginnings couldn't offer Ye Lei much assistance, but their sincerity was considerable.
First, two suits of armor were made according to her needs.
In this era, military generals often had at least two sets of armor.
One use is for facing the enemy.
It is a practical battle armor designed to withstand real gunfire, arrows, and the bombardment of elf skills.
Secondly, they were extremely luxurious, adorned with gold and silver, and were used as showpieces for attending various important occasions.
Because her request was urgent.
So Oichi even took out her own armor and had the craftsman modify it so that Lady Rei could use it first.
"Do you know why the Mori clan used that battle flag with one character and three stars?"
I'm not interested in that.
"No, sir, it's better if you know."
"According to legend, the Maori family precepts borrowed the idiom 'arrows are easily broken, but three arrows are hard to break,' emphasizing the importance of unity among the clan members..."
Ashi's words were clearly loaded with hidden meaning.
"You must be careful of Mori Motonari. He is a man of great wisdom and resourcefulness, whose talent is no less than, and far surpasses, that of Akechi Mitsuhide, whom you have killed!"
[Thank you for the reminder, Madam.]
After all, Ashi had been married before, and her husband had died less than two years ago.
Therefore, she doesn't mind being addressed as "Madam".
Ye Lei was quite satisfied after trying on the battle armor.
The only downside is that the armor is a bit short, considering that Oichi is only about 155cm tall.
[Take me to see the Beast Taming Army's formation first.]
This is the part she cares about most!
The resources of military families vary from country to country.
To put it bluntly, elite military units are the key to determining victory or defeat!
Take the Mori family as an example.
The Land of Aoba occupies several seaports, boasts thriving trade, and possesses formidable naval warfare capabilities!
Next came the arrows.
Muskets were the next best option.
What was the original country of Ashi?
Both arrows and muskets are in short supply.
On the contrary, the Beast Taming Legion is quite unique.
Those dozens of Snorlax are a powerful weapon for siege warfare!
There are also the Starbird, Starhawk, and other Pokémon that scout the sky.
Next up is the rare Eevee.
There's also the Jigglypuff Legion, which can hypnotize enemies!
These chubby guys are Ashi's trump card.
When neighboring countries launch attacks on the Beginning Kingdom, she defends her city and sends a distress signal to the neighboring Flame Kingdom.
This stalemate lasted for two or three years...
Now that Ye Lei has arrived, we must first change this passive situation.
[Summon all the bird tamers; I have something important to discuss with them...]
……
Ye Lei had only been there for half a day, yet the Kingdom of Beginnings had already undergone considerable changes.
Several of the Asai family's former retainers were eliminated in a short period of time!
"What right do you have to kill me? You should at least get Lady Ichihime's permission!"
"Well!!"
They secretly colluded with the enemy and betrayed their country, and had long since become spies for the Maori and the Land of Springs.
With just a slight perception, she can see through people's thoughts and perceive them.
Did they also notify City A?
There's no need for that!!
Of course, she didn't kill all these opportunists.
[If you want to live, deliver my handwritten letter to the Mori.]
[Don't try to open it halfway, or you'll be dead for sure. I'll be watching you.]
"Don't worry, Lady Rei! I was blinded by greed and made a mistake for a moment. I will be absolutely loyal to the Kingdom of the Beginning from now on!!"
This person made all sorts of promises and pledged his loyalty.
Then they scrambled away from the Land of Beginnings and fled towards the Land of Green Leaves.
Little did they know, the item he was given carried a faint scent of sandalwood.
It is a highly toxic substance that does not exist in this era.
At that time, releasing two Pokémon with keen senses of smell will make it easy to track them down.
If this person really delivers a message to Mori Motonari, then poison him!
If something goes wrong along the way.
At the very least, they'll escape to the Land of Aoba, where they'll be poisoned indiscriminately—there's no difference!
[The rest of you, your loyalty is beyond question, and I am very satisfied.]
[Now I'm going to announce the following deployment, everyone listen carefully.]
Ye Lei was working out her plan on a simple sand table.
[The Bird Group will execute a fire attack, dropping fire from the sky to ignite strongholds throughout the Land of Blue Leaves!]
"Great idea!!"
"You've really thought this through; we've never considered such a method before!"
[Of course, this is just one part of the plan.]
[Just proceed according to plan then...]
Launching a fire attack from the air was indeed a method rarely used by people of this era.
However, open flames are very easy to detect.
If it's extinguished immediately, then it's pointless.
Therefore, Ye Lei specifically selected first-tier little guys such as Muker, Bean Dove, and Bobo.
Then they are given chemicals that will spontaneously combust upon contact with air.
This method allows for maximum concealment, enabling a large fire to break out undetected!
Next came the other members of the ground forces in the Beast Taming Group.
How many Tauros are there in the country?
"In reply to you, sir, there are approximately 1 head."
[Excellent! Summon them all then; they'll be very useful!]
Let me show you what the "Fire Ox Formation" really is!!
Cows are naturally sensitive to the color red.
At that time, the enraged Tauros will be deliberately provoked.
The rear guard pursuing the front guard will surely shatter the enemy's formation!
These two plans alone are far from enough...
Ye Lei rubbed her chin.
Got it!
Think from Motonari Mori's perspective.
A barely passable female general like Oichi.
At most, they only have some ability to defend the city and handle internal affairs.
Once we leave the city to meet the enemy, or even take the initiative to attack the enemy country, it's practically a free lunch!
Why not get her to cooperate and put on a good show?
How do we lure Mori out?
But what if the other party doesn't take the bait?
Moreover, with Oichi stationed at headquarters, her combat strength is extremely limited...
……
The land of green grass, the Maori family.
"My lord!! The Kingdom of the Beginning has suddenly attacked, leading an army of about 3!!"
"Understood. Order all strongholds to prepare for battle!"
"My lord!! The Kingdom of Springs has suddenly broken the alliance and is amassing troops on the border!!"
"I understand. Investigate further!"
"My lord! General Hashiba Hideyoshi of the Land of Flames is leading an army of eight thousand and is challenging us to battle!"
A barrage of messages bombarded Mori Motonari, all of which he skillfully addressed.
What exactly is Chosokabe Motochika plotting?!
The Land of Springs and the Land of Blue Leaves are both mortal enemies and allies.
When no other country invades, the two are sworn brothers.
Conversely, they are allies!
Oda Nobunaga's forces are currently the most powerful.
Therefore, the Mori clan and the Chosokabe clan were like horns to each other, presumably in the latter kind of relationship.
"My lord! A messenger from the Asai family has come to request an audience!"
"Arrange for him to stay, and have Longjing go and see him."
These are turbulent times, so let my sons handle this little matter...
It seems the Land of Beginnings is also making moves?
He bribed the Asai family; he shouldn't have been discovered.
After all, that woman was weak by nature and had absolutely no talent as a military commander...
Little did Mori Motonari know that he would never have imagined this.
The one who truly intends to harm him is someone who doesn't belong to this era!
……
"I have long heard that Lady Rei is exceptionally powerful and beautiful, and seeing her today, I can confirm it is true."
Forget the flattery, I'll just borrow your warhorse for now.
"please!"
At this time, the so-called Hashiba Hideyoshi was not yet called Toyotomi Hideyoshi.
Of course, Ye Lei wouldn't give him that chance!
Because the world belongs to the Demon King Oda Nobunaga, and it also belongs to her!!
As for the monkey in front of us and that old turtle Tokugawa.
Ha... Let's kill the Mori first, then we'll talk about it later.
Ye Lei was dressed in pinkish-purple armor and held a 5.8-meter-long razor.
He charged out of the main camp, riding a powerful flaming horse!
When the Maori garrison saw her, they were dumbfounded.
Soldiers and warriors of this era.
The average height of men is less than 160 cm, and the average height of ordinary women is only about 45 cm.
A man as tall as Nobunaga, who was close to 170 cm, was already considered a tall man, even in a country!
At around 155 cm tall, Ashi is already more than half a head taller than the average woman!
And this "Reiji" is nearly 180cm tall!
In addition, he wields such terrifying weapons and rides a dominant mount.
It was a magnificent horse, truly unforgettable!
The overwhelming pressure and killing power locked onto the enemy, leaving these foot soldiers frozen in fear, their hands trembling uncontrollably.
It was as if they were facing a giant Valkyrie charging towards them, completely at her mercy!
In fact, there's no difference.
Using the momentum of the horse, she casually raised the blade.
Seven or eight heads shot into the sky!
There wasn't a single strike that only killed one person!
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Musketeers, hurry, charge!!"
"Don't panic, use the gunfire to block her!!"
Ordinary outposts are not equipped with beast-taming teams.
The only thing that can stop Ye Lei's charge is the somewhat troublesome gun formation.
However, this obstacle was easily overcome by the flames spewed out by the fiery horse.
This dominant Fiery Steed possessed a fire power several times greater than that of an ordinary Fiery Steed, and it carried a strong smell of rotten eggs.
It's sulfur! This is a sulfur fire!!
This is all because the Hirasaka volcano, located in the heart of the land of fire, is rich in sulfur.
Sulfur fire is very special.
It is a special combination of poison and fire; even without being burned, breathing it can cause poisoning and burns.
"Tie a knot in the grass and stop her!!"
Just as the horse was about to trip, Ye Lei used her superpowers to control the sulfur fire to burn away all the tangled vines.
After capturing three strongholds in a row, they finally encountered the beast-taming forces of the Land of Aoba!
Faced with grass-type attacks such as Magic Leaf and Vine Whip.
Ye Lei had her Fiery Horse equip with a Flame Vortex and charge into the crowd as if it were nothing!
The feeling of riding a horse and slashing is really great.
She raised her hand and wielded her large razor, reaping lives with breathtaking beauty—it was practically art!
Mortal Blade can not only physically cut enemies apart.
It also has the powerful effect of absorbing souls.
Countless human and elf souls wailed and sobbed around this supreme, deadly blade!
Just hearing the howls of these ghosts is enough to drive a person to the brink of insanity.
But Ye Lei herself didn't care at all and continued to charge forward!
"Retreat immediately!!!"
At this time, the Mori main camp was still 10 miles away.
He reacted quickly and finally figured out who was behind it all.
