Yuqiuhei's shogunate in Yuqiuhei's own formation has been closely watching the changes in the battlefield situation. When he noticed that smoke and dust were rising near the other side's own formation, he immediately reported it to Yuqiuhei.
"Your Highness," Sanada Masayuki pointed to Oda Nobuki's main formation hundreds of meters away, "The enemy's cavalry is likely to have abnormal movements!"
"How is that?" Yu Qiuping frowned and looked along Masayuki Sanada's arm. It seemed that the direction of the formation seemed to be moving. "What are they going to do?" Yu Qiuping said to himself in confusion.
"Forget it! No matter what they are going to do! Precautions are always done!" Yu Qiuping immediately ordered, "The bow and arrow platoon from the Central Front immediately entered the standby, and the infantry platoon retreated to the rear of the bow and arrow platoon! Send the iron gunners to the bow and arrow platoon! The archers in the left and right wing teams stopped shooting, left out of contact, resumed on standby, and waited for my order at any time!" After receiving the order, Tadao Tada and Ryuko personally rode their horses to pass the order.
"The cavalry platoon will immediately get on the horse and be prepared!" Yu Qiuping ordered Xinshi to Xueshan again.
"Your Highness! Please allow us to lead our army to the open space behind our formation!" Xinshi Aishan asked Yu Qiuping for his order, "The key to cavalry attack is speed! If the acceleration distance is not enough and the horse speed cannot be raised, he will not be able to deal with the opponent's cavalry at all!"
"Okay! You go now!" Yu Qiuping waved his hand and the cavalry in the formation immediately left behind the formation.
Just after Yu Qiuping issued a series of preparation orders, nearly 80 cavalrymen rushed out of Oda Nobuki's main formation! They lined up with relatively loose formations and rushed straight from the center of the battlefield and the plain between the two wings, facing Yu Qiuping's main formation!
"I'm going! It's so fierce!" Yu Qiuping was shocked and immediately began to deploy defenses. Because the distance of these hundreds of meters was just a matter of a moment for the cavalry!
"Telection! The archers on the left wing turn right, and the archers on the right wing turn left! Facing the center! Prepare to shoot the rushing cavalry from the flank!"
"The bow and arrow platoon and iron gunner in front of this formation! Immediately prepare to shoot the enemy! After the shooting round is completed, quickly retreat behind the infantry platoon behind them!" Yu Qiuping issued all orders like flowing water, and the flag bearer shook the flag frantically and quickly in order to pass the orders before the enemy cavalry arrived!

Kuroda Kamasuke is a horseman of the Inuyama Oda family and also a samurai of Oda Nobuki. He has been loyal to the Inuyama Oda family for generations, and always takes the lead when charging on the battlefield - this time is no exception. They understand the sinisterness of the battle situation and understand that if Yu Qiuhei cannot be completely defeated here, the main family will face the crisis of destruction. Therefore, he rode his horse onto the battlefield with a resolute mentality, determined to swear his loyalty to the main family with his life, and be grateful for his kindness to him for generations - this is the honor of every samurai.
The opportunity at the moment cannot be said to be good, because Yu Qiuping's main formation still has hundreds of troops and a cavalry, but they have no choice. The leading commander Ma Li said it very clearly - rush over! Before Yu Qiuping's wings reacted, rushed into Yu Qiuping's main formation! Then bypassed by the thin spearmen, rushed into Yu Qiuping's main formation, and fought with him to the death!
Under the leadership of the commander, the horses rushed towards Yu Qiuping's formation in the west. Everyone lined up loose formations, shouted and pulled out the samurai swords from their waists, and used scabbards to thrust the horse's butts frantically, so that the horse could speed up.
As the sound of horse hooves continued to grow as the sound of rain, as the scenery in front of him flew towards both sides faster and faster, Kuroda Kamasuke could feel his speed getting faster and faster, and the wind blew on his face almost made him dare not open his mouth.
100 zhang, 80 zhang, 50 zhang, 40 zhang... The distance is getting closer and closer! On the back of a speeding horse, it is just a matter of the blink of an eye!
However, just as their cavalry team had already begun to adjust their formation and were about to divert from both sides, a smoke suddenly rose in front of them. Immediately afterwards, a violent roar sounded in front of them!
"That's the iron cannon shooting!" Kuroda Kamasuke immediately judged the opponent's weapon in a flash, and immediately had a countermeasure in his heart. "Roar! rush over! Kill in before they retreat!"
However, the next moment, the screams of people and horses and violent collisions sounded in his ears again! The projectile shot from the iron cannon hit the unlucky riders or their seated horses. Kuroda Kamasuke turned his head blankly and saw that his companions who were charging shoulder to shoulder with him and several of them and horses fell down, and even tripped the two cavalry behind him.
Almost at the same moment, the war horse he sat down was also frightened by the roar, and jumped violently uneasyly, almost throwing him off the horse. This change forced him to slow down a little bit of horse speed, and his companions around him slowed down a little.
Just as the riders were adjusting, the slack sound of the bow and arrow followed the roar of the iron cannon! The feather arrows shot from the front, both on the left and on the right were like locusts, and rushed towards the riders in the center. Although many arrows shot from the side failed to hit the cavalry, some feather arrows that predicted the in advance hit the cavalry. The feather arrows shot from the front caused huge casualties to the cavalry. Many horses and cavalrymen fell on the ground and fell to the ground in a mess.
Kuroda Kamasuke almost passed by the god of death just now - two feather arrows almost flew past his ears! However, he immediately returned to his combat state after he saved his life. The moment the smoke dissipated, the scene in front of him made him realize a god-given opportunity! Archers and iron gunners were quickly retreating from the gap left by the pike army! Although their speed was indeed very fast and the formation was very neat! But those pike soldiers definitely had no chance to form a dense queue again when the cavalry rushed to them! After all, the distance of 30 meters was just a matter of a moment for the cavalry!
"As long as the commander shouts and rushes to the enemy's formation, this army will be defeated immediately!" He made such a judgment in the short breath after the iron cannon and the bow and arrows were fired! Without hesitation, he clamped the horse's belly and maintained the speed to the highest!
However, as he rushed out more than ten meters away, almost a second passed, and the commander still did not make any sound. Kuroda Kamasuke looked back at the commander's position in surprise - but found that he was no longer there!
In panic, Kuroda Kamasuke tried hard to turn his head to the extreme angle, but he could not find the commander no matter what - was he already killed in the volley shot just now?
However, in the few moments he was hesitating, the opportunity to rush around was missed. He could see from the light that all the horse riders were circling to both sides of the square formation as planned! Kuroda Kamasuke was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to follow the large army to circumnavigate! When passing by both sides of the square formation, he also tried to slash the spearmen on the side, but because the distance was too far, he had to give up.
However, just as he was about to look forward, there was also a dense sound of horse hooves coming from the front!
Kuroda Kamasuke hurriedly turned around, his pupils suddenly shrank! The Yuqiu family cavalry with red leaves on his two helmets were riding from the back of the formation in their position! The originally expected to raid the original formation could not become a cavalry hedge! Their cavalry, due to the interference of the shooting just now, had a change in formation, and the formation was relatively loose, taking a long strip. The cavalry rushing towards the opponent was much thicker than them! If we met now, a cavalry of the Inuyama Oda family might have to face two or three Yuqiu family cavalry riding on horseback at the same time!
The bad situation caused many horsemen to shake, slightly lowered their movement speed and adjusted their direction, trying to avoid the impact of Yuqiu family's cavalry. However, at such a high horse speed, these adjustments can only be said to be a drop in the bucket. Their wavering forced Kuroda Kamasuke and other staunch riders to face a more dangerous situation. Although the cavalry of Yuqiu family has never been famous for their good combat, most of them are infantry who have no experience in riding horses, but at this moment, there are more people and fewer people. Nearly ten people were killed in one encounter with the cavalry team of Inuyama Oda family - none of them escaped.
The remaining dozens of cavalry teams followed up afterwards. Seeing that the battle situation ahead was not good, their lineup was a slender one, and they knew they would be defeated. Many people rushed up directly with the mentality of dying to the master, while more people immediately turned their horses and fled to the side. Relying on the sacrifice of friendly troops, more than thirty cavalry still escaped from the sky and kept riding horses to the distance.
Yu Qiuhei did not pursue him. After defeating Oda Nobuki's last attempt with ambushes of bows and arrows and iron cannons, he immediately turned to counterattack after defending all morning! The central infantry platoon and cavalry followed the original path of Oda Nobuki's cavalry and rushed straight to his main formation! Oda Nobuki, who had no reserve team at hand, hurriedly called out the light straits that had been used to ambush Yu Qiuhei and tried to defend the main formation - this led to chaos in the two wings.
Nobuki Oda knew in his heart that there was no victory in this battle, so he had to give up his own formation and ordered the entire army to withdraw. The cavalry who fled back to his own formation were sent again to cover the team to retreat. However, these cavalrymen with great energy were no longer the opponents of the Yuqiu family's cavalry. With the help of Takatani, Oda's Nobuki's horses were finally unable to resist after being cut down and killed many people one after another. Soon, under Yuqiu's pursuit, Nobuki Oda's Nobuki threw away his armor and fled back to Inushan Castle.
