Turn Results are being forced due to the fact that Simon did not post nor did Shang Yue in a three day period.
Turn Results: Motochika's ram has successfully arrived at the gate to the fort and is now striking it. While Zhuge Liang has arrived to assist Motochika. The Chosokabe Archer await Zhuge's order to initiate a volley of arrows into the fort. Chikayasu Kosokabe and Chosokabe Nobuchika are fighting off the Sogo Captain's units, they are close to victory.
Troop Counts:

Chikayasu and Nobuchika's combined efforts were managing to drive the Sogo raiders back, but even so their troop count was slowly diminishing. He then came up with a quick plan to defeat them quickly: he ordered his troops to charge beside the enemy troops at a hastened pace, in order to reach their front flank and surround them with the help of his nephew. This would tire the troops, but it was worth his while. This being said, he grasped the reins of his steed firmly and charged at full speed ahead.
BP: Hastened pace, everybody up front.

Motochika glanced around him as his hand strummed against the strings, seeing his men and the ram pelt again the door, and the banners of the Chosokabe all held high round him. The Chosokabe were proud, vicious, strong, and knew how to get what they wanted, with so much talent under the banners, and so much bravery and courage that the Chosokabe could show.
"The days of the Sogo are at an end. It is time for the doors to open for the Chosokabe!", he bellowed, so that the Sogo on the walls also could hear, as well as to hear his troops yell in agreement. The core of the Sogo were being eliminated as he spoke, and now only the crust remained. They would break.....
Meanwhile....Nobuchika looked ahead of him as he swung his numchuks into the enemy, and saw his uncle charge through to surround them, while he remained with his few men. The ploy was successful, now all they had to do was finish off the task, as he sighed, "Your simply wasting my time. What weaklings", slashing his numchuk straight against an enemy's chest, "Your only slowing down the inevitable if you must persist", waving over some more troops over, as he then charged furiously into them. If they were going to be losers, then they would lose fast. The quicker they were done, the quicker they could aid his father at the castle. Actions: Motochika continues assault with the ram, announcing the time of the Chosokabe has come, giving those inside opportunity to open the doors if they so wished, while Nobuchika mocks their supposed "strength" and charges in with the retreating men to make sure they have no where else to run with Chikayasu's forces moving round

Zhuge would be standing next to Motochika, his lord. The Chosokabe Archers would begin their volley, a rain of arrows began pelting over the fort walls and onto the heads of the enemy. He would also report to his lord of Nobuchika's and Kosokabe's success rate. "Your son and brother are doing very well...Nobuchika seems to fit perfectly in my stratagems."

Turn Results: Motochika's ram is belting into the fortifications gate. Zhuge liang's Chosokabe Archer unit has began their volley into the fort, killing a few soldiers, but not many. All the while Nobuchika and Kosokabe are kicking arse and taking names!
Troop Counts:
Chosokabe banner:
Chosokabe Motochika- 1,000 Ashigaru Chosokabe Nobuchika- 90 Ashigaru(Disguised) Zhuge Liang- 1,100 Chosokabe Archers Chikayasu Kosokabe- 3,685 Ashigaru
Sogo: Sogo Itsuka -494 Ashigaru Sogo Captain -320 Ashigaru

His men continued to pull back and then push hard into the gate, when Motochika saw arrows flying over his head and into the fort, which only meant one thing, as he turned his head slightly to see Zhuge Liang beside him. "Your son and brother are doing very well...Nobuchika seems to fit perfectly in my stratagems."
Motochika smiled and nodded, "I am glad. You too have done well Zhuge Liang. All of Shikoku will now know the strength of the Chosokabe", strumming against the strings so the sound also agreed with him.
As he looked up to the work of the Chosokabe Archers, flying in the air like shooting stars into the castle, it would not be long till the strength in the castle was diminished, allowing him and his forces to storm in and allow him his turn to do his part. Surrounded by much talent, meant alot of competition, though soon, the isle of Shikoku would be under his control, and then he had the other regional warlords to keep an eye on.
--
Meanwhile, the enemy numbers were dwindling with his uncle cutting off their escape route, and Nobuchika and his men pressing into them, as he continued his assault, slashing his numchucks and thrusting blades into the enemies before him. No one would escape his grasp.

The Chosokabe Archers would continue their volley. Only killing a few here and there, but well worth it. Less Chosokabe lives would be lost because of this. Zhuge Liang wanted to protect the Chosokabe troops, rather than simply let them die. He also wanted to save others, but if they were an enemy, one way or another someone was going to die. "Continue the volley" He ordered to the Chosokabe Archers. Zhuge would motion himself to Motochika's side. "Victory for the Chosokabe is surely just around the corner."

Turn Results forced do to inactivity by Shang Yue.
Turn Results: Nobuchika's unit and Kosokabe's have routed the Sogo forces they were fighting. Their next moves are still up in the air, but surely it will be to assist their leaders. Also nearer to the fort, the Chosokabe Archers have continued their volley and kill a few more. Motochika's ram has successfully breached the gate.
Troop Counts:
Chosokabe banner:
Chosokabe Motochika- 1,000 Ashigaru Chosokabe Nobuchika- 74 Ashigaru(Disguised) Zhuge Liang- 1,100 Chosokabe Archers Chikayasu Kosokabe- 3,680 Ashigaru
Sogo: Sogo Itsuka -465 Ashigaru Sogo Captain -Eliminated
Items: Zhuge Liang- Winged Helm: Said to have two wings coming out the top -Morale shall not falter in battle

(I'm sorry for inactivity, I was having my final exams but now I'm free to log in anytime.)
Chikayasu and his troops, with the assistance of his nephew Nobuchika, managed to successfully pursue and rout the Sogo raiders. He decided to stop for a rest, before moving on to the city; raising his arm, he whistled fiercely and the troops started cheering. That was the sign to stop, make camp and regain their strength. Chikayasu dismounted from his steed and took a deep breath.
Victory was at hand. The enemy didn't have the power to react from the assault. Their vanguard broken, their hope lost, probably Motochika was taking advantage of this and seizing some other place of the battlefield. "I just wish it was more of a challenge... Bah, forget it." This thought repeated itself many times in Chikayasu's mind. He found a quiet place, behind some rocks, and laid down. "I gotta get some sleep..."

Simon is away and Zhuge Liang was gracious enough to E-mail me but he could not reply here. So, Turn Results forced.
Turn Results: Chikayasu Kosokabe and Chosokabe Nobuchika had accomplish their task in taking out the Sogo vanguard. While Zhuge Liang had assisted their efforts as well as moving and to assist their lord, Chosokabe Motochika. While Ashigaru move into the fort to seize it, all the while Zhuge Liang orders the Chosokabe Archers to halt their volley. Not wanting any friendly fire of course.
Troop Counts:
Chosokabe banner:
Chosokabe Motochika- 991 Ashigaru Chosokabe Nobuchika- 74 Ashigaru(Disguised) Zhuge Liang- 1,100 Chosokabe Archers Chikayasu Kosokabe- 3,680 Ashigaru
Sogo: Sogo Itsuka -421 Ashigaru Sogo Captain -Eliminated
Items: Zhuge Liang- Winged Helm: Said to have two wings coming out the top -Morale shall not falter in battle

Nobuchika let out a victory cheer for his men to follow, before turning to his men, "Let us return to the caravan. The battle is already won!", before he and his forces returned to the caravan. They had done their part, and knew that his father would want his part, so would not intervene, but would have a backup plan just incase since they had quite a valuable prisoner for the Sogo.
Before they left, Nobuchika sent a message to his father through one of his men to inform him of their prisoner for him to use, before he pulled back with everyone else. Seeing his uncle taking his rest, he laughed, before sending 1000 of the men under his uncle's command to his father while he took 1000 to go with his few men.
Though victory was there's, lives were still lost, and no doubt his father would put something on to remember those that were lost. To help would this, he would have the men removed from the field using the caravans, while transferring the prisoner to Sanuki with his men.
---
In the meantime, Motochika had previously sent his men in, before a message came in from his on, informing him that they still have their Captain as a smirk appeared on his face. He was indeed glad that they didn't wipe all their cards out in the process, as he then joined his men and bellowed, "Chosokabe! Form a wall and pull out of the city. Don't let any who chase you follow you".
The spears all then shot out infront of them entering the bodies of those infront which then fell as they all reversed at the same time, step-by-step, before the troops paved a way so Motochika was in the middle, before calling out, "History shall remember this day, but let us waste no more lives. Your vanguard has been crushed. Your captain in our custody with a spear at the ready, and your city is surrounded by our troops. Surrender and end this charade for WE WILL BRING YOUR PROTECTION in these strong tides surrounding our island. Surrender not, and you will not see what the future will bring..". Actions: Nobuchika informs Motochika of the vanguard and the captain before ordering a rearrangement of his uncle's forces, sending 1000 to his father and 1000 with him to help load the dead into the caravans for respect, while sending their prisoner with his Ashigaru that had served him.
Motochika recieves message, ordering his men to form a wall (spearwall) and moving backwards, attacking when needed, while paving a way for Motochika to be at the front with them in the middle before offering surrender. If accepted, then his troops will move in and battle over. if not accepted, with his troops behind him, he would use his critical strike (lvl3) before letting his men charge the affected enemies.
