If the Rashan lynch ever happens:
General Ota Suketaka rode at the back of the wedge of horsemen who thundered through the Fujiwari line, pikemen and archers melting before their lances. Despite himself he grinned, the command tent of the Fujiwari general was just ahead. He swung his lance, splitting open the face of a spearman who had frozen in place, unable to bring the will to swing his pike to defend himself. His horsemen roared as one as they pounded past the last sentries who scattered, some cut down, others throwing themselves aside only to be trampled by hooves.
The canvasses surrounding the Fujiwari banner were stretched loosely to resist cutting, but were tied to poles as thick as Ota's thigh with sturdy ropes blacked with pitch that would resist the first swings of even the sharpest sword. As one, they dismounted and rushed through the three or four twists and turns to reach the central pavilion.
General Uesugi Tomosada sat on leather stool, flanked by a handful of bodyguards. Up Ota's entry, he smiled and stroked his mustache, turning the motion into a flick of his wrist he snapped open his fan. The sharp crack of the fan was the signal. The canvasses behind him crumpled and the facade of a complete pavilion disappeared. Grass mats flipped aside to reveal samurai crouched beneath them in low dug trenches.
Ota was surrounded, and no longer had the numerical superiority. his troops headlong charge had initially won. He inclined his head in a slight bow to Uesugi, and then sneered, "Betrayer. The Uesugi clan will destroy everything you own, and kill all of your blood."
Uesugi's smile vanished as he said, "They shall fare no better than you."
A few choice men of good lineage were kept as hostages by the Fujiwari and transported back to Odawara. Ota himself was allowed to commit seppuku and his head was displayed at the fore of the Fujiwari encampment.
Captain Tamemasa, who had remained in Edo castle, watched the spiking of the head. Ota's gambit had not been ill-thought out, but the Ota had been ahead of him with their scheming. Tamemasa would not yield the castle however, the walls were still strong and his men determined to avenge their liege lord.
Rashan is dead. He was General Ota Suketaka and EmperorMagus of Edo Castle.
