Chapter 12 (Hinowa ga Yuku!)

Captain (足軽子頭, Ashigaru Kogashira) is chapter twelve of the Hinowa ga Yuku! manga.

Summary
In the morning, members of Hinata's Squad introduce themselves and Hinata makes a speech to them. The Tenrou Army then begins their assault while the Soukai Army holds the fort. Just as Shion is about to taunt Kyoukotsu, a boulder strikes the encampment inside the fortress, surprising him.

Kyoukotsu watches it while Yomihime was impressed that he brought the Catapult pieces by pieces and assembled it on site to lighten the burden. He then orders the second bombardment, causing Maruge to panic. In the meantime, Shion's underlings have finished the calculation and he orders his men to fire back.

Kyoukotsu thought that it wouldn't reach them but when looking at Yomihime, she's already gone and it hits some of his siege weapons, surprising him. Before the war, the Elder on the class reminds them that each person has their own limit.

He eventually moves to the next phase, using ladders made from the bones of Gashadokuro which was elastic and difficult to catch on fire. The incoming enemy soldiers surprise Hinata and the others as Kyoukotsu's assault unit are trained specifically for attacking the Shiranui Fortress.
