But remembering Hojo Ryuzan's instructions, Ashikaga Yoshiji couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
If this armored army is really the last reinforcement of the Kanto Palace, would it be too embarrassing for me to be frightened and ask for help from the Chinese army? Maybe I can get through without asking for help?
With careful thoughts, Ashikaga Yoshiji considered whether to lose face and ask for help from the Hojo clan.
But neither she nor Hojo Ryuzan ever thought about whether the Chinese army still had the strength to send reinforcements? Can Uesugi Teruatoru, who is counterattacking with all his strength, still allow Hojo Ushimasa to send reinforcements?

Teruhora Uesugi kicked the jiban in front of him and cursed.
"What on earth do they mean!"
The messenger quickly knelt down again and answered respectfully.
"Lord Kakizaki Keiye said that the Hojo army's offensive was so intense that it was difficult for her to switch from defense to counterattack for a while. Please give her a little more time, Your Highness."
Uesugi Teruhora hummed and ignored her, looking at the other envoys on the side.
"Is this what Saito Asanobu and the others mean?"
Several envoys lowered their heads and cheered, bowing deeply and not daring to say anything more.
Terutora Uesugi paced left and right, like an angry trapped animal, and cursed loudly.
"Do they have any brains? What are they thinking! Sanada Nobushige has already activated, and then Shima Katsuo's horseback warrior will charge into the formation.
Don't stick to Hojo Ujimasa now. After Shimakatsu charges fiercely, the opponent will find something is wrong and will inevitably choose to cut off the tail to survive, and the army will turn in!"
Sibo Yiyin sighed and said.
"Calm down first."
Teruhora Uesugi glared angrily.
"How do you want me to calm down? They want all the efforts you and I have planned to go to waste and fall short!"
Shiba Yiyin shook his head.
It's not that the Kakizaki Kei family doesn't have the ability to counterattack, they just have doubts about the capabilities of the samurai family at the Kanto Palace on the northern front.
If Shima Katsu's fierce charge failed to defeat the northern front and backfire on the central army of the Hojo clan, the big guys under Uesugi Teruatora would have to use their own elites to defeat the Hojo elites, and the battle would suffer great losses.
This was the case with the last battle on Kawanakajima with Takeda Harunobu. These people were frightened, fearing that today would be another bloody battle with corpses everywhere, and of course they did not want to be at the front.
If the Kanto Shisho on the northern front defeated the enemy forces on the northern front of Ashikaga Yoshiji as scheduled, people like Kakizaki Keie and Saito Asanobu would definitely counterattack as soon as possible to strive for greater military exploits.
But the time has passed, and Hojo Ujimasa's central army will have enough time to retreat instead of being entangled on the battlefield, making it difficult to escape.
Yoshigan Shiba was helpless, but Terutora Uesugi was angry. The tactics of this battle were perfect. The samurai of the Kanto House under Yoshigan Shiba on the northern front fought bravely and were about to complete their mission.
If the joint battle was not completed due to the procrastination of the Uesugi family's central army, how could Uesugi Teruhora have the face to shout around at the samurai at the Kanto Palace?
She glanced at the frowning Shiba Yiyin, and her eyes gradually glowed with a frightening red light.
If the Hojo army escapes, how long will the Kanto strategy take? If the Uesugi retainers don't pay attention, how can the Kanto samurai family be willing to compromise and let Shiba Yoshigan marry him?
Teru Uesugi's anger arose from her heart, and her evil was born from her courage. She shouted.
"Gather Hatamoto! Come out with me!"
She strode out of the shogunate, summoned a dozen nearby confidants, and rode out of the formation.
Shiba Yoshigan shook his head, thinking that she was going to find the Kakizaki Kei family in person, forcing these important ministers under her command to speed up the counterattack.
He counted the time in his mind.
Sanada Nobushige successfully attacked the flank of Ashikaga Yoshiji, disrupting the northern line of the Hojo army. Shima Katsuo would soon dispatch with his armored cavalry.
I wonder if Uesugi Teruhora can make it in time to allow the Uesugi tribe to quickly counterattack and entangle the central army of the Hojo Ujimasa?
While he was lowering his head to think, there was a noise outside the formation, and the Hamo clan rushed into the shogunate and shouted.
"Otaisuo, something bad happened!"
Shiba Yiyin was in a bad mood and said with a frown.
"What's the matter? When faced with trouble, you must have the courage to remain calm even if Mount Tai collapses before you. The sky will not fall down."
Pusheng's face turned pale and he said with a trembling voice.
"At the Imperial Palace, Your Highness Uesugi led the troops into the enemy's formation, with only a dozen Hatamoto beside him."
"What!"
Shiba Yigen was furious and rushed out of the shogunate to watch the front line. At one battle front, a dozen horse-riding warriors made a small opening, but more and more enemy troops surrounded them.
"Uesugi Teruhora, holy shit!"
After Yoshie Shiba finished cursing, he turned around and shouted to Kamou clan.
"Why are you still stunned? Unite the army together and attack with me!"
San San Road, Pu Shengshi Township.
"Otaisuo, you promised us that you wouldn't..."
Sibo Yiyin pulled up her collar and held her in front of him, eye to eye, his breath hitting her face.
"I said prepare to attack, do you hear me?"
"Hi!"
The Kamo clan blushed and ran out to gather the people of the same mind. Shiba Yoshigan quickly returned to the shogunate and said to the envoys who were waiting for the order.
"Go, tell those cowards of the Uesugi family, let them open their eyes and see clearly that their master rushed into Hojo Ushimasa's army with more than a dozen Hatamoto!
I will go into battle to fight alongside her now. Let those cowards figure it out for themselves whether they will follow or not!
Go away! Go away and tell them!"
The envoys quickly ran out of the shogunate and rushed to all directions. Yoshigan Shiba looked at Naomasa Ii who was accompanying him and said solemnly.
"Let's go into battle!"
When Shiba Yiyin walked out of the shogunate again, the villagers of Kamou clan were already waiting respectfully with their horses and whips in hand.
Yiyin took the riding whip she had given her in both hands, jumped on the horse, and looked back at the remaining big girls of the Spo Tongxin who had not been replenished after the war in Vietnam. She couldn't bear it. She didn't know how many more people would die today.
He suppressed the melancholy in his heart. Now was not the time to be emotional, so he shouted to Kamou clan.
"Put up my royal and military flags! Princesses, follow me into battle and kill the enemy!"
"Destiny is in Spo! Destiny is in Spo!"
A group of people rushed down from Mount Okazaki. An Ashikaga white flag and a Yanxin flag with the words "We are disgusted with the dirty land and are happy to seek the pure land" were flying above the cavalry.
———
Terutora Uesugi was furious for a moment, so he pulled up a dozen or so bannermen around him and rushed directly towards the Hojo family's line. This move not only scared the shit out of Yoshigan Shiba, but also scared the shit out of the Hojo clan.
Hojo Ushimasa, who was looking at the front line in the main formation, pointed to the corner of the front line that had been breached and asked questions to the left and right.
"That team of warriors on horseback is very brave. Which warrior from the Uesugi family is leading it?"
There was Monomiban standing by, with sharp eyes that discerned people. She looked at it carefully for a few times, and almost couldn't believe it. She looked at it again, which made Hojo Ushimasa angry and said.
"Do you know him or not? If you don't know him, just say so!"
"Your Highness, that is the Dragon Flag... that... seems to be Uesugi Terutora himself..."
"What!"
Hojo Umasa was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment, and then a burst of ecstasy filled his heart.
"Order the surrounding reserve troops to surround her! Surround her! Kill her! Whoever captures the head of Teru Uesugi will be rewarded with a thousand stones for knowledge and practice!"
