The first thousand and eighteen chapters cut the heart of the army with a knife
At this time, the Sanada Iron Armored Army also ran into the gun formation. Some people followed and knocked over, while some fell on the half-kneeling enemy soldiers in the front row and fell into the gun formation.
The Hojo Princess took advantage of the distance of the spear to stab the Sanada Princess who was charging into the formation, but it was difficult to aim at the seams in the armor and could not penetrate the plate armor.
Samurai Sanada was not afraid of death. He stepped forward and slashed Samurai Hojo with the sword in his hand. Hojo's line was broken up, and everyone caught and fought against each other. The situation became extremely chaotic.
The Hojo Hime Samurai, who has the advantage of a spear, cannot break through the Sanada Hime Samurai's plate armor. The Sanada Hime Samurai, who lacks long weapons, cannot effectively cut through the Hojo Hime Samurai's body by just slashing with a sword.
The two sides fought in a ball, and it was impossible to tell the winner for a while. The fierce Ji warriors used their bodies to press, hit with their armor, and tried every means to kill the enemy.
Sanada Nobushige charged into the enemy formation, staring at Hojo Ryuzan's formation flag. Hojo Ryuzan was on guard with a gun under the flag, and swept out with one shot.
Sanada Nobushige lowered his head and dodged the barrel of the gun, then slashed at her legs and feet with his knife, but she jumped up and passed by.
Hojo Ryuzan used the momentum of his jump to turn his spear into a stick and hit Sanada Nobushige's head hard. Against these invulnerable plate armor warriors, sweeping and slashing was more effective than stabbing.
Sanada Nobushige roared, regardless of Hojo Ryuzan's attack, he was hit on the helmet with a stick, and he slashed at the Hime Samurai who was guarding the flag with his sword.
The flag guard did not expect that she would use a one-for-one desperate move, and accidentally cut off her right arm with a knife. She fell to the ground wailing. Sanada Nobushige endured the nausea and shaking headache, and smashed the formation flag with his knife.
Hojo Ryuzan's eyes were bloodshot and he was eager to protect the flag. He shouted and rushed forward, grabbed Sanada Nobunaga's legs and tripped her down.
Sanada Nobushige had been waiting for this moment. She fell to the ground, held the handle of the knife behind her hands, slashed across her abdomen, and stabbed Hojo Ryuzan directly in the chest.
Hojo Ryuzan was unable to dodge and was stabbed in the chest armor by the blade. Although it did not penetrate, the huge momentum of Sanada Nobunaga's fall to the ground was transmitted from the blade and hit her chest hard.
The knife couldn't withstand the huge momentum and was forced to break in half. The tip of the knife flew several meters away. Hojo Ryuzan raised his head and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Sanada Nobushige took advantage of the moment she raised her head, turned around and threw the severed knife across her throat. A column of blood sprayed into the sky, and her head rose into the sky.
The world spun around in Hojo Ryuyama's eyes, his eyes widened, and he left this world with his final stubbornness, refusing to close his eyes until death.
This attack and defense took place between lightning and flint. Before the surrounding warriors came forward to join the battle, Hojo Ryuzan's head had already rolled to the side.
Seeing her tragic death, the Hojo Princess warriors howled like beasts, drew their guns and charged at Sanada Nobushige.
At this time, the Sanada Hime samurai who broke through the formation had also rushed not far away. One man jumped on Sanada Nobushige, and the red-eyed Hojo Hime samurai who was killed was hacking and stabbing, refusing to give in even to the death.
Sanada Nobushige was out of breath, and felt a little warm liquid on her face. Looking up, she saw that the Sanada Hime warrior on her body had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood, and was dying, but he was still standing in front of her.
She yelled, pushed away the sister on her body, grabbed the stabbing spear, pulled the stabbing Warrior Ji over, and hit her nose hard with her helmet.
Several Sanada Hime warriors behind her rushed to help, and she shouted.
"Leave me alone! Cut down the flag! Tear down their formation flag!"
Several Sanada Hime samurai stagnated, then accelerated past Sanada Nobushige, rushed towards the opponent's formation flag, and fought with the Hojo Hime samurai who reacted and tried desperately to block them.
Sanada Nobunshige had no weapons in her hands. She pressed hard on the dizzy Hojo Hime samurai who was hit by her and her mouth and nose were bleeding. She locked her throat with a cross and strangled her to death.
Just when the Hojo Princess expired, the loud screams of the Sanada Princess came from the battlefield.
"The formation flag has fallen! The formation flag has fallen!"
The death of Hojo Ryuzan was only seen by the surrounding Hojo Princess warriors. But at this moment, her formation flag collapsed, and all the Hojo troops on the battlefield saw it.
The Chibei, who had lost their backbone, were hesitant and didn't know what to do. Although they were still fighting ferociously, without their command, they were just fighting on their own.
Sanada Nobunshige called on the surrounding Sanada Hime warriors to cooperate, separated them, cut them down and killed them one by one. The tough Akabi was like a lonely ghost. Although he was fierce, he was no longer difficult to deal with before.
———
On the northern front, Yukimori Yamanaka led the entire army in an assault and broke into Hojo's right wing.
Under the dual pressure of her threatening to cancel her military honors and taking the lead in the charge, all the martial arts under the Kanto Palace had no choice but to take a gamble with her.
The whole army attacked, without reserves, without front or rear formations. Just when they thought it was a brutal melee, the Hojo army formation suddenly faltered and collapsed.
Yamanaka Yukimori, who had already made up his mind to fight to the end, faced the sudden decrease in pressure and looked into the distance inexplicably.
There was nothing there, not even the formation flags that originally supported the morale of the Hojo army had disappeared.
Yamanaka Yukimori's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it at all. Sanada Nobushige...could it be her...
Honjo Shigenaga, who was beside him, squeezed over and shouted excitedly.
"Master Yamanaka! The enemy army is in chaos and their morale has collapsed. Hurry up and organize your troops, hunt down the broken troops and annihilate them all!"
Honjo Shigecho saw Yamanaka Yukimori in a daze, with anxiety on his face and jealousy in his heart.
This mediocre man was really lucky. Sanada Nobushige's tired remnant army actually killed the opponent's pillar, and the battle on the northern front was decided. At the last moment, Yamanaka Yukimori, who rashly attacked, took a big advantage.
Her heroic demeanor of overpowering other concubines and advancing bravely will bring her a large amount of military merit and political capital. Now, her position as the deacon of the Kanto Palace is completely secure.
Honjo Shigenaga is jealous of Yamanaka's good luck, but she is even more worried about the situation of the war. Is now the time to be in a daze?
The Hojo army is vastly outnumbered. Now that the northern front has collapsed, the most important thing is to pursue, annihilate, and secure victory.
Yamanaka Yukimori was in a daze because she, like Hojo Ryuzan, had misjudged Sanada Nobushige. Now that victory was easy to come by, her mind wandered away and she thought of other things.
Sanada Nobushige's military exploits this time were great. He almost single-handedly destroyed the fighting spirit of the Hojo army on the northern front. After the war, he will definitely be rewarded.
This arrogant person who covets the Imperial Palace will definitely become a high-ranking official in the Kanto Imperial Palace after the war. He is already qualified to compete with Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Meng.
Yamanaka Yukimori couldn't help but frown slightly, feeling a little unhappy. More and more love rivals appeared, which was really unpleasant.
She gathered her thoughts and looked at the eager Honzo Nonchang and ordered.
"First call the envoys to find the generals of each reserve team, and ask them to try their best to gather their troops and launch a counterattack together.
No matter how many people can be gathered, the speed must be fast!"
