Hintsune Juyian, by order of her newly acquired lord rode forth with 3,000 Samurai. She had never before seen so many men in one place and was looking forward to the conflict that was on the horizon. On foot along with the rest of the men, she practised some of her chants to herself to make sure everything was in order. There would be a bloodbath and she intended to be in the thick of it. Flicking her hair back, she began to ponder on the actual battle itself. She had intentions to win. Part of her wanted to see as many casualties and deaths as possible. But to do that, she would both have to lose all of Nobunaga's forces and deal with the rest herself. She didn't like the sound of that and she was certain he wouldn't either. So she set out to win, deciding strategy would be needed to bring about much blood, but only that of the enemies. Having ensured the men were already in full camouflage before marching to keep the attack as discreet as possible, she quietly moved forwards, near the middle of the Samurai ranks. (Hope this works for an opening.  ) |

Turn Results:
Oda Nobunaga had ordered Hintsune Juyian to attack the Suruga province. This province was a large one but at this time held no real defensive structures. Though they had a large force to defend themselves, so did Juyian in the attacking.
She was sent with 3,000 Samurai, something that Matsudaira Yoshiko would have a hard time with. Yoshiko had only 3,000 Ashigaru at this time, peasant troops without much training. The battle was going to be one on the grass fields and was expected to be open. Juyian's troops moved through a forest just on the edge of the grasslands. Though it was not going to be long before she struck out.

Examining the area, Hintsune Juyian decided that her covert operations would not be of much use in this terrain. She would have the men come out of hiding, yet trying to keep their best to stay out of charging range.
"Draw your swords men.. This battle may not begin just yet, but it is best to have advantage when it does."
Apon saying that, she would wave the Oda banner high in order to get the defending forces attention. Assuring that the men had prepared themselves for possible combat, she would stand proud and await the actions of the enemy forces.

Matsudaira noticing the advancing Oda troops begins to charge. A broken and carefree charge, but still a charge. There troops will meet the Oda just in front of the woods. While the Oda troops numbers are still not known to Matsudaira. He is aiming to stop Oda here before he can further advance his territories.

"Fool.. Those who meet me will only meet death! Men, strike them down!"
Ordering the men to counter-charge from their defensive positions, about 2000 samurai would hit the main bulk of the force, while 500 samurai from each side would try to flank the sides of the charging opponent. Hintsune Juyian would stay behind however, and begin to mumble a Hex on the enemy.
"Shadows that hide us, envelop and destroy the very minds of our foes and slow their reactions against the demons that would issue out their death!"
After the effects of Hex had started, she would begin her rest, trusting the men to be able to dispatch the now slowed and weakened foe with much ease.

Turn Results:
Hintsune Juyian has used one of her critical strikes! She has 'Hexxed' the MAtsudaira army and they now move at half speed. This giving Juyian's forces enough time to break off to complete their orders. The main bulk of Juyian's force has begun attacking Matsudaira's army. While 500 Samurai have encircled them and are attacking the flanks.

Hintsune Juyian, having to rest after her efforts to slow the enemy, watched as her mighty samurai used their new tactic and new-found advantage of speed to cut down their opposition quickly and with ease. Being also trained troops, they would be able to stay organised and controlled while she sat back and got her energy back.
(Short post, but without Hintsune Juyian being able to do anything I wasn't sure what to put. XD )

Turn Results:
Hintsune Juyian will be forced to wait another turn as her hex begins to wear off. The enemy troops begin to feel some speed coming back, but not completely. They will have to wait one more turn before completely normal. As Juyian's samurai rip into the enemy Ashigaru from the front and the flanks.

Having gotten her energy back, Hintsune Juyian would begin to charge into the action herself, slashing her dagger at all those not wearing the Oda colours. She would cry out, half to her men and half to her enemies.
"Keep fighting and surely we will be victorious! These peasants like to act big but they are just moving corpses and they know it! If they choose to run away, they are smart. If they choose to keep fighting, they'll regret every moment of it! We will bring death to these fools!"
Assuming her men would be inspired by this and the enemy shaken, she would fight confidently, aiming her dagger at wrists, stomach's and necks over anything else. Her Samurai, being trained in the art of war would likely agree with what she had said an fight with more passion.
The orders would be to just keep fighting as they are currently, hoping their success will inspire her own troops and start to rout the enemy troops.

Seeing the enemy starting to crumble in both numbers and spirit, Hintsune Juyian would feign another charge into the enemy ranks, before dropping back and allowing her Samurai to cut down those who went to counter her fake charge. She would then continue her dagger pattern of hitting the wrists, stomach, or neck over anything else. Her men would also naturally see their advantaged and press forward, but they would also notice their leaders attacking tactic, and adopt it for swift, easier kills.
(Sorry it's all one paragraph, I didn't really see anywhere to start a new one. :l )

Juyian commanded her men well. Their spirits were high and they were effectively taking out the Matsudaira army. Which was being crippled here. They had been flanked and out trained, not much was left for them but to fight strongly.

Feeling completely regenerated, Hintsune Juyian would back off from the main battle, before calling out to her troops.
"Our victory is certain here, but we wish to see the blood of our enemies only. Focus on protecting yourselves first, and killing the enemy second. Just because we are winning it does not mean we can drop our guard."
She would then Hex the enemy yet again, slowing their movements as if to add salt to the wound of their inevitable defeat. Her Samurai would continue to cut down the peasants like ripe wheat to the sickle, hardly breaking a sweat any more, yet heeding their generals words and being weary to protect themselves as they fought in combat..

Turn Results:
The Oda troops proving to be well more trained had begun slaying any enemy soldier. Their commander ordered them to be more caution while her herself used her Hex ability once more. Matsudaira Yoshiko's troops began to move much more slowly and most of their attacks began to slow as well.

Having to rest yet again, Hintsune Juyian would sit by and watch as her excellent troops continued their success and heeded her advice. She also noticed her opponents were truly much more shaken then at the start of this engagement.
"Pathetic.. These men that oppose the might of the Oda think themselves soldiers? A rose would defeat one of their so-called men, if they didn't run from it first.."
She would continue to observe as her men continued their trained strikes against their foe. She couldn't also help but notice she had taken very few losses during this battle. This would please her lord, but it pleased her more. She had never seen an army this vast before, let alone commanded it. The fact she was doing so well inspired her on the inside.
