Link to Big Battle MapInformation:- Siege Battle, Zhao attack Sansu at Sansu's capital city. - Last army remaining wins. - If an army surrenders they lose. - When troops decrease to 0, the officer is captured automatically, or he can attempt to flee (But very likely die) - Rest will be decided by mod, as in wind direction, water flow etc etc. Sansu have until tomorrow morning (GMT Time) to post a Surrender, else Wo will attack (Of course allowing for a defence to be made within the city) This is nothing personal to any Sansu officers, merely for fun, so I hope you enjoy the battle too

*Sun Fei rides into the city to protect North Honshu against Zhao, though he knows their army will probably lose, because Zhao is the most powerful army in the world. But they killed his father..his friend..and now they come to take the head of his lord. This was unacceptable. Fei would fight till the end, sacrifacing his army, and his life.*
*Sun Fei lined his men up, and rode in front of them with his twin iron pikes and prepared for battle. He shouted to his men.*
Sun Fei: Do not fear death my friends, for if we die here, we die with honor, and we shall rise to the heavens! Glory to Sansu!
*Sun Fei turned and awaited the enemy army.*
Sun Fei's Army: 200 Sansu Avengers [Marines] (Swords, Composite Bows, Horses, Battle Robes) 100 Sansu Raiders [Marines] (Scimatars, Horses, Battle Robes)

Ahui Nan sits on the Palace Roof.A cup of Sake in his right hand.His Guan Dao laying next to him.Ahui looks out at the sunset before taking another drink of sake.
"My men,this is our final battle.We must fight and die well.We have served Lord Hizoku loyally......at one point....I thought we would see him Emperor of Japan.It was but a dream,there no need for ambition anymore"
Ahui stands along with all his men.They all throw their sake onto the roof.Breaking all of their cups.A loud war cry is heard throughout the capitol
"MEN,let us show our resolve.LET US SHOW THESE ZHAO DOGS THE MIGHT OF SANSU"
500 Japanese Swordsmen 100 Japanese Crossbowmen

Guyto was looking over a book, learning some more sword techniques, when a messenger came in. He said.
"The Temple Knights have surrendered to Zhao."
Guyto leaned against the wall upset. Another messenger came in.
"The Legion of Cheng has surrendered to Zhao."
Guyto struggled to stand extremely confounded. Then another messenger came to him.
"The kingdom of Si has surrendered to Zhao."
Guyto fell down and got up. Then one last messenger came in.
"The Zhao are coming to attack us. We cannot last."
Guyto fell down and got up raising his sword out and yelled out loudly so all can hear. He was furious and wasted no time. We meet the enemy and slaughter them all. Quickly him and his soldiers left cheering. He stopped right near the gates and started riding across around his soldiers, yelling.
"We shall never fall. We are men of Sansu. We are lions, that cannot be ruled. I rather die by an enemy blade then having to serve someone else beside Hizoku. If someone falls first, it will be me."
He started crying and yelled louder.
"Let the fools come and get us. They will die and no one will win. I cry because this is our last day. We fight to the death and die like men. Come on guys, we shall win!"
Guyto got his helmet on and screamed out.
"My life has been to train you guys, and now the women, childern, and families future relies on us. I shall kill every officer of theres before I die. NOw let us show them what we got."
He rose his sword high and yelled.
"Auuuuuuuuuuugghhhhhh. Meet these cowards and kill them."

The Hunters ArriveNearing the battlefield the mounted figure of Ma Yui peers over the hilltop, looking over at the soon to be destroyed forces of Sansu. The capital was large, housed a powerful force, but none more powerful than the elite Zhao forces which now conquered at least 4 times more land than Sansu. It was a battle waiting to happen, set in stone long ago, everyone knew it would happen, but not everyone knew when. The Black banners begun to appear over the distant horizon for all of Sansu to see, the forces of Zhao were here, and Sansu would soon learn not the mess with them ever again. The grin lead commander shone, the youthful son of Ma Teng seemed to glide over the open land with his trusty steed as he prepared his men to fight for Justice and Honour, these villians must be stopped, their blood shall baptise Zhao-Japan. Xi Feng's pitch black steed picked up as the fierce beast carried it's master towards Ma Yui the lead scout currently. "What are my orders Prince of Wo?" "Nothing, for now sit back and enjoy the tide of battle, Sansu my friend are fools, they rely on numbers, believing it is a winning factor in war, I may not be the sharpest pencil, but I know what does win battles, Spirit, Morale, and Experience, if you have these three you win battles, obviously if you can build this in with a large army you become an even greater force, we shall see if Sansu are up to the challange, their forces are bound to be faultering, the news of Zhao's expanse, us accepting their offer of peace, and of course my little present, is surely the winning blow in this battle, I will be suprised if even half their army stand by the time we knock down their walls and gate, most will desert, it is the way with low spirited men..." The Dark Knight nods, his hellish appearance, would also prove to be an effective strategy in the battle. Back with the main forces, Ma Teng freshly back from his illness looks better than ever, a firm smile planted on the honest ruler of Wo. He agreed to Wo being taken over by Zhao, they would fall if they went up against the Black bannered forces anyway, this way he remained a leader figure in Japan along with his fellow ruler of Zhao. The Banners hung high, the drums roared through the army brining on high spirits due to the noble music of war, it filled the men with loyalty, discapline and respect for their leaders, which would once more improve Wo's chances of victory. One Man's Will, Anothers PatientsXi Feng growls as Ma Teng takes his time, he grips his spear in frustration as he once again questions the prince "Cannot I not just take them on alone! I am itching to slaughter!" Ma Yui laughs as he has to back up why he is staying put for now out of distance of a Sansu Assault. "Xi Feng, like I keep telling you, we are waiting for news of their surrender or their defiance to Wo, when it is time to attack you will be more use helping your troops than blindly charging a fully defended fortress city, that my friend is what is called, Suicide." Xi Feng sighs quietly his horned helm resembling the devil, and his body a demon, and the forces of evil would soon work wonders on the Sansu formations when the time was right. Ma Teng does a quick stock count with his captains, making sure a full supply of provisions, supplies and tools were present in their forces, they would need as much as they could get during the battle knowing the weakness of a city, and making sure he was ready to act upon it if he so needed to. Ma Teng talks to one of the captains who salutes and goes to the rear of the forces with a few infantry for reasons only Ma Teng and his officers knew of. The army once counted, stocked up, fed and hydrated begin their final march towards the Sansu capital of North Honshu, the land would soon know peace, but first must come war, the forces of Sansu had finally made their decision, they had begun a defence within the city, even without their leader... So Sansu had the advantage of a castle, yet they did not know of how soon this would destroy them, they were doomed either way, if they attacked outside, they would be ripped apart from Zhao Legions, and if they stayed inside they held a better chance of survival, but still not a better chance of victory. The Arrival of the Bringer of DeathThe Wo-Zhao army had arrived, they were fully prepared for the near battle, their weapons had been freshly sharpened and their armour polished and if nessesary repaired, they were a deadly, organise force, capable of mass destruction, and mass loyalty, none could match their simple yet effective training, many would see their lack of experience and simply count them as gonners, but this would not be so, every single man of every single unit of the Wo forces had been prepared perfectly for the deep battle moments, and they were a powerful force. Now the forces were on the battlefield, Ma Teng himself arriving at the front line to give his men his own speech. "My men, Sansu have sealed their own fate, they have chosen War over Diplomacy, and now they shall see what happens to men who defy Zhao and Wo. Everyone of you I hold deep respect and trust in, you are the jewel of Wo, and be assured you fight for a great cause, I hope your loyalty will stay as it has done before, and plunder from Sansu shall be shared with you all. Fight like every moment shall be your last, fight for your families, your friends and for Wo, and victory shall be ours my friends, now let us fight for glory!" The entire army cheers, and even more so at the fanint sight of two men heading in their direction. Ma Yui and Xi Feng shot towards Ma Teng to bring their reports on the enemy. "Father, the enemy have begun their defence, it is now time to show them the real power of Wo, they underestimated us, and now it shall be us to prove them wrong, their heads shall become fine tropheys." Ma Teng laughed with his son, whilst Xi Feng stayed as dark as he usually does. The battlefield was now occupied by two armies, that of Ma Teng and that of the defenders, more Wo would soon come, and the Sansu's demise complete. The forces are ordered into formation by Ma Teng as the 3 generals get to their positions. The forces were positioned just out of any sort of range of fire from the castle, not even a catapult on top of the castle walls would be able to hit the force, and this ment nothing could be fired back. Troops:850 Swordsmen (miltia + swords + thatch shields) 250 Legionary Swordsmen (militia + swords + thatch shields + Javelins) 1000 Spearmen (militia + spears) 200 Pikemen (militia + pikes) 200 Crossbowmen (miltia + crossbows) 200 Javlin Throwers (militia + javelins + thatch shields) 200 Slingers (militia + slings) 100 Light Cavalry (militia + cavalry + swords) 125 Composite Horse Archers (marines + cavalry + Composite bows) 100 Chariots (militia + chariots + swords + javelins) 200 Amoured Eastern Swordsmen (militia + armoured horses + eastern swords) 200 Composite Longbowmen (militia + composite longbows) 200 Battleaxe Wielders (militia + battleaxes) 100 Twin Swordsmen (militia + Twin Swords) 100 Ranged Scout Cavalry (militia + Crossbows + Swords) 20 War Elephants (marines + elephants) 4 Catapults 2 Arbalests Starting Formation:Starting Formation

Xu Tuo sat and stared at the slowly dying embers of the campfire, waves of red awash on a sea of black. It was intended to ward off the cold of the night air, but he felt a cold now that no fire could warm, not even if it emanated from the mouth of Palladia Mors himself. He stoked the coals with a stick, hoping to draw a final bit of heat, but little was forthcoming. It didn’t matter, and he knew it. That chill he felt was not going to go away. It was the chill of age.
For a while he considered feeding the fire anew, but looking around he realized that all the wood Cyrus had gathered was burned, and by the time he gathered more it would be well into morning. Xu Tuo stood up, groaning loudly. He held his wounded side with one hand while stretching out with the other in a desperate attempt to grab a handhold that was not there. “You’re getting old Xu,” he said aloud, once he’d caught his breath and balance.
He stretched, trying to relieve the aches, but it helped little. The weight of a life that he often felt vain spent was heavy on him now, wearing him nearly to the breaking point. Fearful of what bending his back might do to the dressing on his side, he used his spear to hook his backpack and put it over one shoulder, then the other. He looked forward to putting such burdens down forever.
Cyrus was only a few leagues to the north, searching for prints or tracks from the Sansu Enemy, whilst he himself remained behind, following the same path Ma Teng had taken along the eastern bank of passivity. It was a chilly age to be in this day, even the morning flames that ravaged the wood had succumbed to the illnesses age wrought upon it, and he himself was feeling no younger with each passing day.
The armies had gathered along the hill tops, governed and led by their leader Ma Teng, Xu Tuo could only see the rear ends of the army as they marched and waited, his own personal army having been led up to the front already, he smiled at the irony, and had already begun the ideas which he'd use in the upcoming events of battle.
At his arrival, Ma Teng's officer gave the troops to him, his men lined in unison with Ma Teng's, but their expressions were filled with glee at the sight of the old warden knight, "Nice to know someone hasn't missed me." He muttered, stroking his frail chin with a stubby finger.
"Alright, I want you in a standard formation, Chariots to the side, horsemen in the centre, spearmen in the front and swordsmen guarding the flanks."
The men moved with ease, each man bidding the other to get into position before they did, a fine art of men shuffling and co-ordinating together, he hadn't trained these men for nothing.
Some still looked in awe after the fight in the barracks, never had they seen an old man repel over 100 troops before, training was always for fun, but they respected him all the more for his effort.
The troops were soon positioned to the side of the main army, and Xu Tuo couldn't help but conceal his smile from them all, a commander is strong, even when preachers should be heard, "Lord Ma Teng, the enemy outnumber us, but still we have the advantage. It'd be wise not to advance to far into the field, this is more their territory then ours, and we know nothing on what they expect, I advise to either meet half way, or to slowly lure them out, it's best to fight on grounds we know well then to charge blindly."

Ahui looks at Kiriyama with a scowl on his face
"A fool like you would never understand our resolve.You are but the grunt who grovels at the feet of a much more powerful foe,being fed scraps of what the leader leaves you.Begone!"

A wo/zhao banner could be seen in the horizon a small force were moving behind me tengs unit.The men were coming in no particular formation their objective was just to get to the battlefield as quickly as possible and to destroy the sansu forces.Killer rides up to ma tengs position leaving his men behind.
"My lord has the time come for me to slaughter all sansu forces."
Killer waits for a response from ma teng while looking towards the sansu capital.It was clearly seen on killers face that he was anxious for blood and death.

Ahui positions his 500 Japanese Swordsmen to face the western brige,but to stand ground behind the bridge.Leaving the other 3 unguarded.Ahui's crossbowmen begin to carry the waist from the city and dump it into the moat surrounding the castle.After they do so the men climb onto the wall of the city facing the west bridge.
Ahui smiles to himself.He knows that there is a small chance for victory here.

Guyto gripped his sword tightly. Then his officer came over to him. He was Muiteo Heiuo. His oath brother and best friend. He said.
"Let me go forth and do battle with anyone one of them. I want a duel now!"
Guyto replied."I accept this. Take only 50 swordsmen to guard you out and hold the peace flag. They will not shoot and if they do, they can see 29 arrows through their skull. Good luck"
Guyto started crying but quickly realized, this was war, and it had to be done.
The gates were opened and out came Muiteo Heiuo on his horse, ready to kill. The gates were quickly closed and he screamed loud enough for the enemy to hear.
"Who dares challenge me? Anyone? Dont be a fool and refuse."

*Sun Fei heard about the boy going to challenge the Wo armies. What a fool he was indeed. Fei lead his Cavarly to the East bridge, and sent 5 Sansu Raiders each to the North and West bridge to make prepartions while he made some on the East Bridge.*
