Chapter 288 The Out-of-Control Rebel Army
High on the mountain, Kujo Sara frowned as she watched the shogunate troops pouring out and surrounding the rebels like making dumplings. She was not satisfied with the speed of the encirclement. If the rebels were not surrounded as soon as possible, if the rebels reacted and seized the weak point of the encirclement to break out, the shogunate army's encirclement would most likely be torn open. This was also one of the disadvantages of forced encirclement.

However, the solution to this problem is very simple, that is to let a person with strong combat power go to the weak point of the encirclement to delay time. Thinking of this, Kujo Sara looked at Kamisato Ayato who was still drinking milk tea on the side, and seeing that Kamisato Ayato had no intention of taking action, Kujo Sara said coldly.

"Master Kamisato, I hope you can give your all in the next battle. If the battle is not resolved quickly, if the rebels break out, it will not be good news no matter what you are planning."

"Don't worry, General Kujo. I know my limits in this kind of thing. After all, I don't want to be alone in Kamisato's house. General Kujo, take your men to surround Kamisato's house. After all, if the shogunate army messes up Kamisato's house, there won't be anyone in our Kamisato family to clean up the house."

Kamisato Ayato narrowed his eyes and answered Kujo Sara's words in a vague manner. Kujo Sara glanced at Kamisato Ayato, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his cold tone.

"Thomas can go back to Kamizato House. I won't go to Kamizato House to cause trouble for you because of this reason. But Thomas can't appear in Inazuma Castle at will after he returns to Kamizato House. Otherwise, don't blame me for arresting him."

"General Jiujo is so generous. If General Jiujo is so generous, it would be unreasonable for me not to help out."

Having achieved his goal, a gleam of light flashed in Kamisato Ayato's eyes, and he casually threw the half-drunk milk tea in his hand to the ground. When Kujo Sara looked at Kamisato Ayato again, Kamisato Ayato had already rushed towards the battlefield with a sword in hand.

On the battlefield, the rebels who had not yet realized that the Shogunate Army was surrounding them had already collided with the Shogunate Army squad that was acting as bait. A group of rebels looked at this Shogunate Army squad with grim smiles on their faces.

"Boy, weren't you guys chasing me so vigorously just now? Why don't you continue chasing me?"

"Didn't you say you wanted to fight us in a one-on-one duel? Come on, I'll give you, the Shogunate Army, a chance. As long as one of you can defeat ten of us in a one-on-one duel, we'll let you go."

Looking at the rebels in front of him who were either strong or had divine eyes, even if the captain of the shogunate army was stupid, he knew that they were being tricked by the rebels. Oh my god, how could such bad luck happen to him?

The captain of the Shogunate army was in tears. The previous teams had received military merits, but how come his reward turned into pension? This group of rebels was too cunning.

"Okay, stop wasting time talking to these shogunate troops and quickly capture them all. Otherwise, if the shogunate troops find out something is wrong, we'll be in trouble."

When the surrounding rebels heard what their general Goro said, they all picked up their weapons and stared at the shogunate army squad. The shogunate soldiers in this squad also thought about escaping, but they found that as long as they had the idea of ​​escaping, the rebels would raise their bows and arrows at them.

For a moment, this small group of shogunate troops had no idea what to do. If they fought, they couldn't defeat the rebels. If they ran away, they might be shot as targets by the rebels.

"Rebels, you are getting more and more daring. It seems necessary to clean you all out today."

The lightning element flashed, and Kujo Sara appeared in front of the rebels. It was obvious that the rebels did not expect Kujo Sara to appear. When they saw Kujo Sara, they were obviously stunned for a moment. There were even many rebels who were shadowed by Kujo Sara and almost turned around and ran away.

"Kujo Sara, do you think you can handle so many of us by yourself?" Goro gripped the bow and arrow tightly in his hand, looking at Kujo Sara with provocation in his eyes. He knew that this was the best chance to capture Kujo Sara. Kujo Sara was only good at bows and arrows. As long as they could get close to him, they might be able to capture Kujo Sara alive with the advantage of numbers.

"Oh? You want to defeat me with your numbers advantage? That's a good idea. Unfortunately, like you, I'm not alone this time."

As Kujo Sara finished his words, the shogunate troops, which had already formed most of the encirclement, rushed out like a tide. These shogunate troops directly surrounded the rebels who had surrounded that shogunate army squad.

Looking at the shogunate troops that kept appearing around him, Goro's face changed drastically. Having read Xinhai's brilliant plans many times, Goro had realized that they might be surrounded. At this time, Goro finally understood why Lord Xinhai told him that his own safety should be the top priority before he sent out the troops. It turned out that Lord Xinhai had already predicted that the resistance army would be defeated today.

No, we cannot fight with these shogunate troops at this time. Once the shogunate troops' encirclement is completely formed, the rebels will suffer heavy losses if they try to break out.

In just a few breaths, Goro had seen through the shogunate army's battle plan in his mind. Realizing this, Goro, who was holding a bow and arrow to fight against Kujo Sara, shouted hurriedly.

"Brothers, quickly retreat to Haigi Island. We cannot be surrounded by the rebels."

After that, Goro used a charged arrow to force back Kujo Sara, and then he tried to buy time for the rebels who were in the front to evacuate. However, the behavior of the rebels this time made Goro a little puzzled, because after he gave the order to retreat, not a single rebel retreated, and the surrounding rebels were still fighting with the shogunate army.

"Brothers, retreat quickly, don't fight!"

Thinking that the rebels around him did not hear his orders, Goro deliberately raised his voice this time to ensure that all the rebels on the battlefield could hear it. However, still no rebels retreated. Not only Goro was confused, but even the enemy Kujo Sara was confused.

Just now, Kujo Sara was still worried about whether Kamisato Ayato could defend the weak spot of the encirclement in front of Kaigi Island by himself. Now it seems that it was unnecessary to send people to look for Kamisato Ayato yesterday. The rebels did not even think about retreating this time.

"Why don't you leave? Hurry up and leave, it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

Goro grabbed a rebel soldier who was fighting with the shogunate army and urged him to leave the battlefield quickly, but the rebel soldier simply shook off Goro's hand, stared at Goro with his eyes that seemed to be emitting anger, and said angrily.

"General Goro, do you want to see our resistance army transformed into something neither human nor ghost again? If you can destroy the shogunate army today, our resistance army will never be subjected to such things by the shogunate army again!"

After saying that, the rebel joined the battlefield again, leaving Goro standing there in a daze.
