The first thousand and fourteenth chapter of the death will
Daosheng galloped to one side, reined in his horse with his sword drawn, and pointed straight ahead.
"Army attack!"
With an order, the cavalry slowly started to move, their horse speed gradually increased, kicking up dust billows, and rushed towards the restless Hojo front.
The vest weighs twenty-five kilograms, the human armor weighs fifteen kilograms, and together with the horses and men, the total weight exceeds one hundred and fifty kilograms. Fifty armored horses and fifty plate-armored knights line up to charge.
They were the tanks of this era, the nightmare of light troops, and the gun array of the Hojo army trembled in front of them.
Just looking at their heroic charge, the ashigaru on the front line were scared to death. Many of them had a nervous breakdown, yelling and discarding their spears, and pushed back as hard as they could.
The tight formation began to loosen due to the appearance of these deserters. The Hime samurai who suppressed Ashigaru killed several people, but could not control the extremely frightened military formation.
No one wanted to face the armored cavalry directly. The instinct of survival guided them and they had to act involuntarily.
Run! Run! Run as far as possible!
In the end, the armored cavalry faced a few sparse spears. It was the desperate Ji warriors who, for their own honor, stood up and raised their spears to welcome the embrace of death.
The cavalry was like a huge wave, slamming into the Hojo front line. Then, the Hojo front line was shattered like glass, shattering to the ground.
The sound of conch shells sounded again behind the formation, one after another. The six reserve teams of the Kanto Palace saw the female winds of the cavalry charging into the formation, and saw another regiment of plate-armored warriors appearing on the battlefield.
Behind the cavalry, Yukimori Yamanaka appeared on the battlefield with a hundred Yue Yutai people. They were also wearing plate armor and followed the cavalry to cover up the killing.
The center of Hojo's right wing was penetrated by the armored cavalry, and the plate-armored samurai appeared later and tore the hole even wider.
After the plate armor warriors, there are the last two reserve teams of the Kanto Palace. They formed a tight formation and moved forward step by step. The morale of the first-line reserve team was greatly boosted. They had forgotten their fatigue and swarmed into battle to counterattack.
The appearance of the armored troops one after another completely broke the Hojo army's will to resist. They didn't know how many terrifying plate-armored warriors were hidden behind the enemy's formation.
The idea that the enemy was invincible spread among the army, and the right front of Hojo's army completely collapsed.
———
Hojo Ryuzan commanded the Akabihime warriors under his command to block Sanada Nobushige's armored army head-on.
Courage cannot offset the gap in armaments, but tactics can. Although Chibei suffered heavy casualties, he could barely withstand the charge of Samurai Sanada Hime with his fearless spirit.
Subsequently, the two reserve teams on the left and right began to attack the Sanada Hime Samurai from the side and behind. Although the thick plate armor had excellent defense, there were still gaps in the general style, and as long as there were gaps, they could be pierced.
As the first Sanada Hime samurai was stabbed to the ground, the morale of the Hojo side was greatly boosted. This shows that the Ironclad Army is also a human being and can also be defeated!
At the critical moment when Hojo Ryuzan was calm and prepared to consume the Sanada Hime samurai bit by bit, the sound of the conch formation and the waves of noise from the military formation came from beside him.
She looked at the front line, saw the enemy troops vacating the center, and saw the armored cavalry. Her heart began to sink, and a thought jumped out of her mind, that is, defeat.
Hojo Ryuzan's eyes were red. Recalling the events before and after today's battle, the enemy's tactical intentions clearly reappeared in her mind.
How can there be an armored army? How can there be an armored cavalry? What can we do if we have so much money and food? How can we build a heavy-armed army?
Although the Hojo army was led into the abyss by two young men, Hojo Ushimasa and Ashikaga Yoshiji, these veteran generals in the army did not expect that the enemy would do such a thing.
How much food does it cost to build plate armor and train matching elite warriors? With so much money, even the neutral Kanto samurai would be knocked to their knees, so why bother with such complicated tricks?
There is a famine in Guandong, and the warriors are dizzy with hunger. It doesn't cost much to buy people's hearts, so why spend money on plate armor? Wouldn't it be more efficient to just buy people's hearts with money?
The Echigo samurai family were like a group of well-fed rich people who went out to rob beggars of their leftovers. Is that the case? What the hell!
Hojo Ryuzan watched in despair as the armored cavalry charged into the formation and completely penetrated and routed the right front of Hojo's army, but there was nothing he could do.
Ashikaga Yoshiji sent envoys, rushed to Hojo Ryuzan, fell to the ground and kowtowed.
"Sir, Kamakura-den, please think of a way to stop the enemy!"
Hojo Ryuzan asked calmly.
"Where are the reinforcements? When will His Majesty Ujimasa's reinforcements arrive on the right wing?"
"this.."
When Shiban hesitated to answer, Hojo Ryusan felt a trepidation and suspicion in his heart, so he dragged her up from the ground and pulled her in front of him.
"Speak clearly, tell me!"
When Shi Fan saw her suddenly ferocious face, he was so frightened that he swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice.
"Kamakura-don said she would go to the rescue immediately."
Hojo Ryuzan's heart and lungs were completely chilled, he dropped the messenger and looked up to the sky with a long smile.
"Hahaha, immediately, immediately, it turns out that she was just perfunctory with me and didn't ask for help at all.
This idiot! Bastard!"
The Hojo army was destined to lose. The opponent had hidden so many armored troops that they wanted to defeat Hojo's right wing in one go. Ashikaga Yoshiji didn't ask for help before, but it was too late to do so now.
Changes must have occurred in the Chinese army, and Uesugi Teruhora would not just watch as Hojo Ushimasa sent reinforcements to the northern front to re-stabilize the front.
Hojo Ryuzan raised his head and looked in the direction of Ashikaga Yoshiji, and found that her horse seal and family crest were slowly retreating. His eyes were as sharp as a knife and he murmured.
"This shameless bastard."
The right front of the Hojo army is collapsing, but the right-wing general Ashikaga Yoshiji is leaving the battlefield. How can this battle be fought? What will the Hojo army that is still resisting think when they see the general withdraw?
Hojo Ryuzan looked coldly at Shiban lying on the ground, his eyes full of disgust.
"Go back, go back and tell Ashikaga Yoshiji that I will take over the command of the right wing."
No matter how much he hates Hojo Ryuzan, he can't do anything to Ashikaga Yoshiji. She is the Kanto general who was supported by Hojo Ujiyasu, and she is the political archway for the Hojo family to expand its territory in Kanto.
Everything will be discussed after the war. What we have to do now is not to lose too much! Hojo Ryuzan has a cold face and a determined gaze.
The front line of the northern front has collapsed. If she cannot slow down the offensive of the Iron Armored Army here, the defeated Hojo army on the entire northern front will be rolled back by the central army, and the Hojo family will be in doom.
She wants to buy time for the Hojo clan to retreat, she wants to preserve the core military strength of the Hojo family in the Chinese army, and preserve the future hope of the Hojo family!
"Come here, report to the Chinese Army. Tell Her Majesty Ujimasa that the northern front can no longer hold up, and ask her to turn in quickly."
"Hi!"
The commander bowed and saluted, then rushed out and rode towards the main line of the Hojo Central Army.
Hojo Ryuyama looked at her back, his heart still. She smiled coldly and ordered.
"Raise my formation flag and tell everyone who is still fighting on the northern front to come closer to me. I send envoys to contact them and tell them that we have no reinforcements!
Behind us is the Hojo Main Formation. We have no way to retreat! I will not take another step back. Please die here with me!
Please! For the sake of the Hojo family, please die here! Princesses!
The Hojo family’s military fortunes are prosperous!”
