"Will the Uesugi Army definitely use the Chexuan Formation again?" After giving orders to each reserve team in accordance with Takenaka Shigeharu's request, Yu Qiuping still felt unsure.
"Yes." Takenaka Shigeharu simply replied without giving an explanation.
"Why?" Yu Qiuping asked uneasily.
"My guess." Takenaka Shigeharu said briefly again, "I can't give a reason."
"All the arrangements are based on the premise that the Uesugi Army will use the Chexuan Formation again. We are advancing in a 'Y' formation rotated 90 degrees clockwise. It is difficult for the four reserve teams to support each other at one point.
, is not a wise formation in any case." Yu Qiuping pinched the bridge of his nose with his hand and sighed, "Kibei, are you sure that the Uesugi Army will attack the southernmost Rakihara Bei first?"
"Yes." Sanada Masayuki also did not give an explanation, and replied simply like Takenaka Shigeharu.
"It's also a guess? The information provided by the ninjas and Tanma from the Military Intelligence Department seems not sufficient, right?" Yu Qiuping held his forehead in confusion.
"Your Highness, against an enemy of Uesugi Kenshin's caliber, we will never be able to predict the enemy's opportunities at every turn, and we will never be able to count every step. If he could be calculated in this way, there would be no one who could conquer Kanto."
He was given the title of God of War." Sanada Masayuki paused, and although his tone was calm, his eyes seemed to be flashing with blazing fire, "The only way to win against him is to gamble. If you win the bet, you win. If you don't dare to gamble, you lose.

"coming."
At less than two seconds, Wan Jun on the northernmost road prepared for battle.
Kitahata Kageie watched the Uesugi army follow the same trajectory again and fight out of the snow and fog in the northeast in the same formation. He couldn't help but get excited, "Mr. Takenaka guessed it right! It's still a car!"
"Act according to the plan, no attack is allowed, let the first team of cavalry pass!" Kitahata Jingjie immediately shouted loudly and ordered. All Wanjun soldiers guarded the position and silently looked at the number of soldiers flying the "Bi" flag.
Hundreds of cavalrymen passed in front of the formation. The previous battle had caused them a lot of casualties. The original 500-man cavalry team now only had less than 400 people left.
"Let the second one go, too." After seeing the second Uesugi Army, a mixed infantry and cavalry force of more than a thousand people, Kitahata Kageie let it go again. At the same time, in front of the Joban Preparation Formation in the center
, and also saw the cavalry team of several hundred people passing by. Tsukiwa Bei also did not attack, and allowed them to go around thinking about the Yuan Yuan Bei in the south.
"Strange." Yataro Onikojima, who was the leader of the hundreds of Echigo cavalry, was a little surprised when he saw this. "Have you already suffered a loss once? Will you be fooled again? If we continue to run rampant, won't we be surrounded again?
A team of people? I’m afraid these Kinki guys are brainless.”
"Sir, do you want to pause?" a deputy next to Onikojima Yataro asked in a low voice.
"No, never mind. We just wish they wouldn't fight and watch us defeat them one by one." Onikojima Yataro touched the snow on his face and coughed into the snow, "Keep going!"
Soon after, the third Uesugi Army unit arrived in front of Wan Jun's preparations. Wan Jun Bei still turned a blind eye to the more than a thousand troops in front of him and stayed there motionless. When the fourth Uesugi Army unit arrived,
, the Red Leaves Army was still indifferent. Saito Asanobu, the leader of the team, was confused by the actions of the Red Leaves Army, so he asked the reserve team in front for advice. However, Onikojima Yataro, Kakizaki Keie, and Hojo Takahiro who were walking in front all happened to
Dismiss this advice and move on.
"What's so scary about the Kinki guy who was so stunned by us that he didn't dare to move? Besides, who can see through the lord's tactics in just half a day?" This is how Kakizaki Kageie replied to Saito Asanobu's messenger.
, Tokiwa Bei in front of him didn't dare to obstruct his action. According to the established plan, Yataro Onikojima would open the way at the front and rotate to the southeast of the Rinakihara Bei. Kakizaki Keike and Hojo Takahiro would rotate to the Rinakihara Bei one after another.
To the southwest and northwest of Beibei, cutting off their connection with the main force. Saito Asanobu who arrived later will block Tokiwa Bei, Amakasu Kagemochi will block Wanjun Bei, and Uesugi Kagekatsu will follow the route of the army and go around.
Ryohara prepared a pincer attack on the north side, and finally Uesugi Kenshin's own 2,000 cavalry struck the decisive blow.
Such complex transformations and formations were completely unpredictable in this windy and snowy day with low visibility. The Uesugi Army had used this method of warfare to dominate the Eastern Kingdom for decades and was invincible. What could the weak samurai from Kinki do?
Thinking of this, Saito Asanobu not only felt a little funny about his hesitation. Even if the Hongye Army was holding his head and thinking of a way to crack it, what's the use? There are countless types of changes in the Chexuan Formation. As long as the Hongye Army tries to rescue or
If they counterattack, follow-up troops will immediately turn in a wider arc and attack their flanks.
Soon after, Kakizaki Keie and Hojo Takahiro had already moved around to the rear of Rakihara Bei, and Saito Asanobu also advanced to the vicinity of Tokiwa Bei, intending to maneuver to a suitable position and form a defensive formation. At the same time, Amakasu Kei to the north
Mochi has moved to the front of Wanjun's preparations and is continuing to circle south in an attempt to block the Hongye Army's advance.
Once the wheel starts spinning, no one can stop it.
·
But once the wheel spins, it cannot be reversed.
After four moments, Saito Asanobu, who was passing in front of Joban Bei, was suddenly surprised to find that Joban Bei, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly formed several horizontal lines with his entire army and charged directly towards him with a hand-to-hand charge.
At the same time as Tsurugi, on the snowy field south of Tokiwabi, Narubi, who had been hiding behind Tokiwabi, quickly moved forward in a marching formation, seemingly trying to block Saito Asanobu's way south.
"So ferocious?" Saito Asanobu was a little surprised when he saw this, and immediately ordered the entire army to go on the defensive. It was not that he had never encountered counterattacks during the execution of the Chexuan Formation, but this was the first time for him to receive such a ferocious counterattack.
See.
"Immediately request a change of formation and ask Lord Amakasu to rotate to Joban Bei's flank and attack!" Saito Asanobu immediately sent an envoy to the north to ask for help. However, not long after, he received the reply that "nothing can be done".
"Wan Junbei also launched a fierce attack on Lord Amakasu at almost the same time. Lord Amakasu was entangled in a hurry and was unable to go south, and the following young master was also blocked by Lord Amakasu's troops and could not come!"
"If you don't fight sooner or later, half of our army has passed. How can he counterattack at this time?" Saito Asanobu glanced to the south with great embarrassment - Kakizaki Keie, Hojo Takahiro and Onikojima Yataro were ready to encircle and strangle.
We are ready to start a prairie fire, but our current situation may end faster than we are ready to start a prairie fire.
In the past, when the Chexuan formation encountered resistance, it encountered resistance as soon as it entered the formation, and the subsequent troops could rotate and attack from the side. However, at this moment, the only two remaining troops were entangled... It seems that they can only
He held on by himself.
·
However, Saito Asanobu miscalculated again. The attacks from Tokiwa Bei and Naru Dysprosium Bei were too fierce for him to withstand, and it didn't take long for him to be beaten to the point where he could not hold back. After being defeated like this, the Uesugi army's chariot formation collapsed.
He was about to be split in half with a knife. In desperation, he immediately asked for help from Kakizaki Keie, Hojo Takahiro and Onikojima Yataro in the south - this was unprecedented, and the troops that had been rotated had never been allowed to return.
The principle of aid.
Sure enough, the troops in the south hesitated for a moment after receiving Saito Asanobu's request for help. But not long after, they all chose to return for reinforcements. The three troops withdrew one after another and headed north in a counter-clockwise direction towards Saito.
Asanobu came here. At this time, the troops from the north finally broke through Wan Junbei's blockage and arrived at Saito Asanobu's side in the south. For a time, more than 7,000 soldiers of the Uesugi Army except Uesugi Kenshin's own team gathered.
They got together and forced Tsukiwabei and Mingdybei back.
Previously, the Uesugi Army had taken advantage of the Red Leaf Army's difficulty in communicating with flags due to visibility issues, but now they found themselves in trouble.
Just around the main army, Red Leaf Army appeared in all directions. Wan Junbei was in the north, Ryuhara Bei circled to the southeast, Tokiwa Bei and Narudybei were in the west, and attacked the Uesugi Army gathered together from three directions.
·
"It's done, the chariot formation has been broken?" Yu Qiuping rode his horse to the front line and saw in disbelief that the Uesugi army had been compressed from an original arc to a situation surrounded by enemies, "Is the formation broken so easily?
"
"The Chexuan Formation is actually a strengthened long snake formation. The danger of this formation is always the tail. If you attack the head, you will flick the tail to save it. But if you clamp the tail and attack the heart, the formation will be broken." Takenaka Shigeharu.
Due to physical reasons, he was unable to ride a horse, so he was accompanied by Fukuzawa Yunan, Sanada Masayuki and Yu Qiuping. At this moment, it was Fukuzawa Yunan who was explaining Yu Qiuping's doubts, "This formation is difficult because it changes strangely.
It moves quickly and fiercely. Once seen through, it is not difficult to break the formation."
"If it weren't for Takenaka-sama, who among us would be able to understand this formation?" Fukuzawa Yunan added.
"That's what you said." Yu Qiuping reined in his horse, rushed back to the formation with Fukuzawa Yunan and the guards, and informed Takenaka Shigeharu of the latest information. However, Takenaka Shigeharu learned that the Chexuan Formation had been broken.
Afterwards, there was no hint of joy, and the eyebrows were even more solemn.
"If this formation is really so easy to break, how could the Uesugi Army have been able to maintain control for many years without being defeated?" Takenaka Shigeharu leaned against the sand table and asked the staff who came back from the investigation to lay out the current battle situation on the sand table, "The Uesugi Army will definitely
There is also a backup plan.”
"Looking at the situation of the Uesugi army, it seems that Uesugi Kenshin is not in the army formation." Sanada Masayuki has been silent since the inspection just now, but now he suddenly said. Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, but this time he did not ask
"Why", but choose to unconditionally trust the judgment of your subordinates.
"Uesugi Kenshin and the nearly 2,000 Echigo cavalry have not shown up yet." Takenaka Shigeharu coughed twice violently and coughed up a lot of bloody sputum, "Return all the cavalry platoons and artillery crews of each reserve team to the main formation.
,in case."
"Where are the copper walls prepared?" Yu Qiuping nodded and asked Fukuzawa Yunan.
"It's coming soon, it won't be long." Fukuzawa Yunan looked at the flying snow outside the tent and replied in a low voice, "When the copper wall equipment comes back, we won't be afraid of the Echigo cavalry."
