When Akao Kiyozuna led the troops to join the battle line, Asai's military situation, which had gradually been shaken, stabilized again.
With the tacit understanding of Isono Umasa and Akao Kiyosuna, the right side of the formation began to slowly move back, gradually turning the straight line into a diagonal line.
After fighting for a whole morning, Rokkaku Yoshihide could not see the inferiority of Asai's army. In order to strengthen the suppression force, he pulled out several reserve teams from his own formation to supplement the front line.
Something was wrong. Kenhide Kamao sensed something and sent an early warning to Kenmori Shindo of the second team.
At this time, Asai Nagamasa took advantage of the gap where the Hexagon Army had not yet responded and launched a surprise attack.
She led the Naomi Regiment and its military forces under her command to attack Rokkaku Yoshiken's main formation.
The armies of both sides were between 11,000 and 25,000. Excluding the peasants and soldiers who guarded the main camp in the rear and gathered together to make up the numbers, the total number of troops that could actually carry out offensive and defensive operations was only more than 10,000.
Asai Nagamasa led the most loyal Naoomi regiment to launch a desperate raid. There were only a few thousand in number, but like tigers descending a mountain, they inserted themselves diagonally between the Hexagon Army's second formation and the main formation at an oblique angle.
The soldiers and horses of the Rokkaku Army's second formation were already feeling tired. Facing the recharged Asai Nagamasa, they could not resist and gave way to the Rokkaku Yoshiken shogunate.
The army joins the battle, and the general is in control of the central army. His main formation is surrounded by a white curtain, and he sits in command. The horse seal military flag is accompanied by a flag guard. This is the military shogunate, which is regarded as the heart of the army.
After thousands of years of development in samurai warfare, a reserve system of peasant soldiers, ashigaru, and Hime warriors was formed.
The soldiers came from the Naomi Regiment, the Retainer Regiment, the Kuomintang and other dominated samurai families with different blood and loyalties. In addition, the mixed soldiers who hired wild samurai and evil parties made the situation even more chaotic.
The poor and decentralized feudal system of the Wu family society resulted in the fragmentation of resources, making it difficult to form an elite armed group.
The complex and fragile loyalty system makes all parties in the military irrelevant to each other, and all loyalty is based on the prestige of the general.
Once this formation is captured, the front line will lose all advantages and retreat in rout.
In the final analysis, the peasant soldiers and the Ashigaru lacked subjective will and organizational awareness, and did not know why they were fighting.
The composition of Ji Warriors is complex, with countrymen, retainers, and mercenaries all having their own agendas, and they rarely have the idea of fighting to the death.
Therefore, most joint battles are ugly wars of attrition. They do not seek merit, but seek no faults. Some examples of turning defeat into victory are mostly related to the success of raids on the main formation.
Asai Nagamasa took the huge risk of abandoning his own formation, but was forced to have no choice but to do so by the Hexagon Army.
Defending is also death, retreating is also death, why not just break the pot and see who can kill whom first.
Rokkaku Yoshiken had no idea that the young Asai Nagamasa would be so decisive and be disrupted by the surprise attack.
But Kamao Kenhide's timely discovery and Shindo Kenmori's quick response after receiving the news also had an effect.
Asai Nagamasabu's sudden advance was outflanked by the Hexagon 2nd Formation from behind. If the situation at the front could not be opened up quickly, her military situation would collapse due to attacks from both front and rear.
Even the most loyal Zhichen regiment is not made of steel. People are weak, their hearts cannot withstand tests, and their morale cannot withstand blows.
But at this point, she could only shout and command the troops to advance, advance, advance.
Behind the Rokkaku main formation, in the woods surrounding Mount Sawa, Yoshihiro and his entourage were watching the battlefield closely.
Mitsuhide Akechi led the team along the way. We don't know when she explored the terrain, but she turned left and right on the road and quickly arrived at the battlefield.
Until they reached the rear of Rokkaku Yoshihide's main formation, there was still a small forest covering him, which made Yoshihide greatly admired.
"It's almost time for us to attack."
Yoshigan looked at Akechi Mitsuhide and said.
She shook her head.
"It's a little early to attack now. Once Asai Nagamasa attracts some more strength from our formation, the defense behind us will be even weaker."
"If you wait any longer, Asai Nagamasa's old foundation will be dead. The Naoomidan is the foundation of the family governor, so let's let the Asai family live in peace."
Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide didn't insist anymore, Yoshigan said to Maeda Yoshi and Otani Yoshitsugi behind him.
"Let's go and let Yoshihide Rokkaku taste the consequences of provoking us."
The Ji warriors made a loud promise and mounted their horses one after another. Just as Yoshigan was about to mount his horse, he thought about it and said to Akechi Mitsuhide.
"In this battle, every time you come up with ideas, I reject them. You don't blame me, do you? You are much smarter than me, but there are some things that I just can't bear to do."
Akechi Mitsuhide was also stunned. He didn't expect that Yoshiyin would say such a thing, and smiled sweetly.
"No wonder, I'm very happy."
Such a lord who upholds justice is really lovable to death.
Yiyin couldn't help but murmur in his heart when he saw her so happy.
I can’t understand why I can be so happy even though my suggestions have been rejected every time.
In front of the cavalry were all war horses, nineteen of them. Behind them were forty horses, and all the horses from the Todo clan and the Mekada army were here.
We had just fought a battle this morning, and we had traveled all the way here. The horses behind us were already trembling in their legs and sweating profusely.
Seeing that after this charge, most of them would be killed suddenly. The remaining ones would not survive for a few days. Yoshigami couldn't help but tell Takatora, the daughter of Todo Torai who was following him.
"These rogues are the main force in farming in your village, right? This loss will probably make your mother heartbroken."
Gao Hu laughed loudly.
"That's right. That stingy guy usually breaks off a rice ball and swallows it one by one. When he feels a little full, he stops right away, for fear of wasting food by eating more."
Yiyin smiles.
"You arranged your mother like this, aren't you afraid of being scolded when you return to the village?"
"I'm not going back. I'm going to follow you. This battle was so smooth."
Yiyin looked back at her.
"Why don't you go back and ask your mother to arrange a good marriage? Can she let you go?"
Gao Hu was so handsome that he waved his hand.
"Anyway, we still have sisters at home, so it's okay if my two daughters run away. I just want my sisters to have more children, hahaha."
This girl was open-minded and generous. Yiyin was so happy that she talked about her. Thinking about it, it was not the right time to talk anymore.
He nodded to Otani Yoshitsugi, who was holding the flag, and rode forward.
At this moment, Asai Nagamasa was almost desperate. The vigorous military momentum was blocked by layers of enemy troops, and one team broke through and another team followed.
His vigor gradually dwindled under the pile of human lives, and the enemy forces behind him also formed a pincer attack.
Rokkaku Yoshihide sat firmly in the shogunate, directing the guards at the rear to fill in one by one, and proudly raised his military fan.
Nagamasa Asai is seeking his own death, and everything is under control.
Behind the main formation, the Hime Samurai who was waiting scolded the ashigaru who was about to fall asleep, and looked at the surrounding scenery boredly.
Suddenly, a cavalry army emerged from the woods on the hill over there. They were all knights on horseback, galloping towards them under a banner.
"Enemy attack!"
Harsh screams came one after another. The observer's hand and lips trembled as he counted the number of cavalry. Five-seven, five-eight, five-nine, a total of fifty-nine cavalry.
She was deeply frightened, her speech was slurred, her words were incoherent, and she was shouting.
"Wujiu, Wujiu, the Wujiu opposite is coming down from the mountain!"
