The immortal body is called Teevat

The seven days of living in the mountains and forests were simply a nightmare for the shogunate army. Not only were they exhausted and physically exhausted, but many soldiers also unfortunately contracted various diseases.

The high morale gradually faded in this harsh environment, and the soldiers' physical and mental strength had reached their limits. These were not the fanatics of Kujo Takayuki, as those fanatics had long since died.

When the shogunate army finally arrived at the foot of the mountain, what they faced was not the imagined dawn of victory, but an elite force carefully organized by Coral Palace Xinhai.

This army, led by Coral Palace Shinkai himself, was in high spirits and well-equipped, forming a sharp contrast to the exhausted shogunate army.

Facing such a powerful enemy, the able-bodied soldiers of the shogunate army had already lost their last bit of fighting spirit. Under the fierce attack of the Coral Palace Heart Sea, they had no power to fight back and were defeated at the first blow.

However, due to the large size of the shogunate army, despite the outstanding performance of Coral Palace Xinhai's elite troops, they could only repel them but could not completely defeat them.

However, Coral Palace Shinkai ordered Goro to lead the army in continuous pursuit, making the fleeing shogunate troops exhausted and unable to restore their organization and gather their fighting strength.

If possible, they would even use these defeated soldiers of the shogunate army to completely break through the defense line of the Tenryo Bugyo.

However, how could Kujo Takayuki accept defeat? So he moved all the fire element bombs and high-concentration element essential oils from his own supplies to burn the mountain. As a result, a considerable number of the defeated soldiers of the shogunate army were trapped in the mountain fire and burned to death.

As long as the current front line can be stabilized, it doesn't matter even if the previous troops are completely defeated. Anyway, as long as the news is blocked, the people will not know too much. But there is an established fact in front of the people: the shogunate army did capture part of Haiqi Island.

But as to how big a part it is, isn't it up to Kujo Takayuki himself to decide?

The rebel pursuit force also suffered considerable casualties and losses, but under Goro's forced attack, the defeated soldiers of the shogunate army completely lost their will to fight and fled in all directions like frightened birds.

What's worse, a considerable number of the defeated soldiers fled the mountains and forests and rushed straight to the shogunate army's defense line, bringing even greater pressure to the already shaky defense line.

The shogunate troops that were burned beyond recognition and in a horrific state not only struck fear into the hearts of the second-line troops in the rear, but also caused them to fall into chaos and defeat.

What's worse is that Coral Palace Xinhai had already used the few ships on Haiqi Island to send troops to land on the coast of Kujo Takayuki's base.

As the empty rear of Kujo Takayuki was torn apart in an instant, the rebels' crazy burning in Kujo Takayuki's base camp further increased the chaos.

In addition, Coral Palace Xinhai also launched a surprise attack on the port used by the Wood Tiger Army to park ships, and sank most of the ships with Red Moon bombs.

Just like that, the defense line that Kujo Takayuki had painstakingly built with great effort collapsed in an instant.

However, to be honest, this so-called defense line did not take much thought. These soldiers were just driven to the original defense line position.

Due to panic, many people chose to jump into the sea to escape and tried to swim to the other side. However, the cold sea water ruthlessly swallowed up countless lives, and countless people drowned.

In this chaotic situation, many middle and upper-level officers, in order to seize the boats for escape, ignored the lives of the soldiers and cruelly kicked the soldiers on the rafts into the icy sea, while they rushed to escape first.

This kind of selfish behavior undoubtedly exacerbated the deterioration of the situation. Everyone began to scramble for the few chances to escape, and some even resorted to violence.

However, unexpectedly, although Kujo Takayuki marginalized Kujo Sara and made him the main person in charge of logistics and defense, at this critical moment, Kujo Sara showed unparalleled action.

She acted quickly and decisively to calm the surrounding troops and direct their orderly evacuation, although this move could not fully make up for the losses caused by Kujo Takayuki's foolish and failed suicide attack plan.

But at least some manpower was saved for the Kujo family. However, this was only a tiny amount.

So why was such a capable general Kujo Sara not entrusted with the important task of leading the attack? The reason is actually very simple.

At the beginning, when Kujo Takayuki performed the worst, a considerable number of young people in the Kujo family supported General Kujo Sara, who had made many military achievements, to succeed the position of head of the family.

Faced with such a potential threat, Kujo Takayuki naturally felt apprehensive, so he tried his best to transfer Kujo Sara from the core position and send him to a place far away from the main battlefield.

Before the war, Kujo Sara was only responsible for the public security work on Narukami Island. To put it bluntly, he was transferred to the second-line troops, away from the real front line of battle.

But now Kujo Takayuki has to bear the consequences.
