>>5881180honestly all the things you are countering here really did not matter much, but he did post too late then and now too so you'll have a small boon in the war.
The Shoguns forces do what they consider to be wise. Hunker down in the walls, wait to rebuild the navy, a sensible approach. A smart one even, the Ashirivans would need to bleed 100 man for each one if they wished to storm the wall.
The plan had but 1 flaw. One simple thing is forgetting that the Peasants are inside the walls, when the toughest part is facing outward.
The second mistake more understandable... is not counting on the canons the crabmen can just manged to mass deploy.
As the butcher is out raiding, plundering and burning disguised as the peasant loyalists he hears the roar of a 1000 thunders. He rides hurries back mixing among the besieging crabmen.
The wall has been collapsed. Completely annihilated. Most of the mercenary force crushed like a canary in a cage. In a prior life this sight might have delighted him, but he just lost the only man he had ever known who truly appreciated him.
(basically hunkering down inside enemy walls while they both know the weakpoints of the wall, have access to it's weaker side and new siege equipment was a recipee for dissaster)
(the peasants are already in power, the Shogun was ousted, nobles exiled or killed. Most the refugees are former nobility)
> Boon for ashirivo posting lateMost of the Butchers forces have deserted. The humans hiding as bandits, the Crabmen switching sides or hiding as peasants.
He stood alone in the camp, watching blood white and red flowing out from cracked stone of the collapsed wall.
He is now a Ronin, and the role of a ronin is to avenge their master.
This night would be known amoung the Ashirivo as the 'ghost slaughter'. During the night, when the troops celebrated complete victory 1600 men would be killed. Strngled, cut up, beheaded, chopped up and impaled.
Among the supertitious they think it's is the Ghost of the emperor himself. A curse on them for opposing his divine rule. For the leadership paranoya set in as they fear traitors and infiltrators.
(army gets morale debuff, the Butcher may still be lurking near the main army)
So overall situation is like this:
> compelte annihilation of RoB forces and theoretically path open for Ashirvo counterattack> Ashirivo gets a low morale debuff due to the mass killings by the butcher> the northern wall has been destroyed, if there's a wish to rebuild it it'll cost a full action> news of the defeat would reach the RoB, but the details of the battle are unknown. Effectively news just stopped comming.
