Chapter 2198: So You Have a Hack

The rain lasted a whole day, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, with no sign of stopping. The originally dry weather after autumn began to become moist.

In the main hall of Inari Taisha stands a gilded statue of Bishamonten. However, the face of the statue is not the traditional Bishamonten, but the handsome face of Yoshigane who is always sixteen years old.

As a new day arrived, the sky brightened and the rain outside the temple, which had originally subsided, began to fall heavily again.

Accompanied by the sound of raindrops hitting tiles, Yiyin stood in front of the palace door, with Christina whispering reports beside him.

"Saint, this rain has been falling for a day and a night. The moisture-proof supplies we prepared are completely unable to cover and keep dry. Some wooden cannons, gunpowder, and projectiles are damp and have to be destroyed."

Yiyin was in a daze, as if he was listening to Christina talking, or listening to the sound of rain.

Amid the sound of rain, there was a faint sound of fighting. It was the soldiers of the two armies fighting on the muddy plain at the foot of the mountain.

After it rained yesterday morning, Hideyoshi Ichijo seized the opportunity and sent his direct reserve troops to the battlefield, attacking the Fushimi defense line with all their might.

In contrast, the Mori clan in the south seemed to become quiet after the rain, giving the precarious Amago defenders of the Mikami Shrine a chance to catch their breath.

For a whole day and night, the Ichijo Legion launched a mad attack. Hideyoshi Ichijo even gave up his advantage in iron cannons and used the elite troops trained on the peninsula to charge into the battlefield with cold weapons.

The defenders of the Fushimi Defense Line, led by Maeda Toshiie and Maeda Yoshitsugu, were already showing signs of fatigue.

The mobilization model of the traditional samurai was not as good as the farmer-soldier separation system founded by Oda Nobunaga and inherited by Ichijo Hideyoshi.

What's more, the main force of an army corps is composed of elite troops from the fierce fighting on the peninsula, which is not comparable to the Kinki Hokuriku Dosuha Army that has enjoyed peace for a long time.

Even though they had lost the advantage of spears and cannons, one legion was still able to defeat the miscellaneous troops of the Kinki and Hokuriku regions of the Sasaki family. The huge gap in numbers between the two sides was now widening.

Without waiting for the Eastern Army to join the battle, Yoshigin took the initiative to reveal his flaws to lure Hideyoshi to attack, and his weakness was doubly magnified at this point.

The balance of victory was tilting towards Ichijo Hideyoshi, and the Nanban artillery team, which Yoshigin regarded as his trump card, was in a dilemma as the gunpowder in the wooden cannons was damp and was in danger of losing its combat effectiveness.

Christina had just finished her report and Yiyin hadn't spoken yet when someone broke into the hall.

Uesugi Yoshikage was soaked by the rain and walked towards Yoshigin angrily.

Yiyin looked at her and said calmly.

"Why did you come here in the rain? You are the commander-in-chief of this battle, be careful not to catch a cold."

Uesugi Yoshikage choked and then became angry.

"You also know that I was the general appointed by you? Then why did you give such an order without my permission?"

Yiyin looked at Christina and said.

"You go down first and order the artillery to get ready. As soon as the sky clears, immediately bombard the army on the main battlefield.

All artillery fire at full force, leaving no room for maneuver, understand?"

Christina hesitated to speak.

This is the battlefield chosen by the Sasaki family. The geographical survey data has been collected long ago. The Nanban artillery team knows exactly how much gunpowder to use, what caliber the gun should be, and where it can hit.

As long as the weather clears, Christina guarantees that the first shot will hit the target and all the shells will fall on the head of an army.

But if this seemingly indefinite rain continues to fall, all the gunpowder in the artillery team will get damp.

In order to ensure that it can be fired at any time, the gunpowder hidden in the warehouse has already been taken out and placed at the launching position. It is too late to put it back now.

Simple moisture-proofing cannot be done as carefully as in a warehouse. If it rains for another day, Christina cannot guarantee that the artillery team will still have a few guns that can be used.

But what could she say at this time?

The young master came in anger, obviously wanting to say something to the saint. Christina felt awkward and embarrassed standing there, so she decided to leave to avoid suspicion.

So she bowed deeply like the islanders, turned and left, and quickly returned to her artillery post.

After Christina left, Uesugi Yoshikage was still angry and stared at Yigin angrily.

Yiyin looked at the endless wind and rain outside and asked with a smile.

"What's wrong? So angry?"

Uesugi Yoshikage asked back angrily.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?

Did you order Ii Naomasa to raise a white flag of hatred at Inari Taisha Shrine so that the Ichijo Iemonomiban who was wandering near the battlefield could detect that you were at Inariyama?

Now the main force of an army has changed its attack direction and is heading towards Mount Inari!

What on earth do you want to do? "

Yiyin smiled slightly.

"I am disgusted with the filthy land and long for the pure land. The flag of disgust and longing is my military flag. Wherever the flag of disgust and longing is, there I am.

Ichijo Hideyoshi went to Kyoto this time just to seize an opportunity, an opportunity to face me and defeat me."

Uesugi Yoshikage said as his breathing became heavy.

"Since you knew what Hideyoshi was thinking, why did you take the initiative to expose your position?

I had already planned it!
First use the Fushimi Defense Line to consume the strength of an army legion, wait for the weather to clear up, and then use Inariyama's Nanban artillery to bombard her to pieces!

Since you have appointed me as the general, why can't you trust me a little more? I will definitely win this battle!"

Yiyin shook his head and spoke sincerely to the aggrieved Uesugi Yoshikage.

"I don't disbelieve you, but I need to apologize to you, it was my mistake this time.

I thought the Nanban Artillery was enough to kill Hideyoshi Ichijo, but I still underestimated it.

I watched the wind and rain for a whole day and night, and finally figured out one thing: Hideyoshi Ichijo had been waiting for this rain. She had not launched an attack because she was waiting for the heavy rain to come.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

She knew I had artillery, and that Oda Nobunaga was once disrupted by my artillery.

A Saint Seiya will not be defeated by the same attack twice, but I underestimated the people of the world who have left their names in the history of the island country. This was my mistake.

Yoshikage, your arrangement is correct, but have you ever thought about what would happen if the rain doesn't stop for a few days? How long can the Fushimi defense line hold out?

Kinki had been at peace for a long time, and the Kinki samurai were far inferior to the army fighting on the peninsula. Moreover, with 60,000 troops against 40,000, the army had the numerical advantage.

The gunpowder of the Nanman artillery team is getting damp. If you continue to delay, the Nanman artillery you hoped to use to turn the tables will no longer exist. Do you understand?"

Uesugi Yoshikage gritted his teeth.

"As long as you persist, there will always be a way. Didn't you say you never lose?"

Yiyin nodded and sighed.

“I never lost.

I admit that I underestimated Hideyoshi Ichijo and made a wrong move, but I still won't lose.

The world blindly believes in me, thinking that I am a god descended from heaven and that I am invincible. That is why I want to raise the flag of disgust and joy to attract the main force of an army."

Uesugi Yoshikage's eyes were full of confusion.

"What exactly do you want to say?"

Yiyin smiled bitterly.

"I won't lose. I just want to tell you that I won't lose, because I am a living God."

Yiyin stretched out his finger and pointed above himself, which was above the main hall of Inari Taisha Shrine.

Uesugi Yoshikage looked upward in the direction Yoshigin's finger pointed, and all he saw was a gloomy, dark sky with no end in sight, and thick black clouds, as well as strong winds and rain.

Yiyin let out a breath. Only he knew in his heart that Ichijo Hideyoshi was really awesome. She really calculated the celestial phenomena and went all in at the most appropriate time to give Yiyin an almost fatal blow.

But the question is, where does Yiyin's invincibility come from? Is it luck? Strength? Charm? Or talent?

Neither, it’s a plug-in!

“God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”

As Yoshigane's words floated past his ears, the confusion in Uesugi Yoshikage's eyes was instantly shattered by the miracle before his eyes.

A little light shone through the dark clouds centered on Yiyin, and then a strong wind swept in all directions, sweeping away the dark clouds and spreading outwards like a halo, revealing a clear sky centered on the main hall.

Uesugi Yoshikage was stunned and groaned madly.

"What the hell! So you traveled through time with a cheat! That's not fair! Why don't I have one?!
Asshole! We are both time travelers, why don’t I have any cheats! "

The sun shines on the earth, and the battlefield shrouded by wind, rain, clouds and fog becomes clearly visible. One by one, the reserve troops show their figures and display their flags.

The core elite of the legion, including Fukushima, Kato, Kuroda, etc., and the direct line of female warriors are all in sight.

Christina, who had just returned to the artillery team, withdrew her gaze from the main hall of Inari Taisha Shrine, swallowed her saliva, and gave orders loudly.

"Everyone, get ready to fire!"

The gunners hurriedly pulled down the rainproof cloth on the platform, loaded the gunpowder bullets and adjusted the angles using the standard movements they had practiced countless times.

Countless cannons were pointed at the main battlefield at the foot of the mountain, waiting for the order.

"Everyone, three volleys!"
