Crowds of people swarmed along the banks of the Qiu Shan River, and soldiers scrambled to cross the river to escape. The stream in the dry season was temporarily blocked by a human wall.
Countless people were cursing and beating, as if there were ghosts chasing behind them, just hoping to run faster and farther than others.
Ashikaga Yoshiji's horse seals have not yet reached the shore, and the high-spirited Kanto general now looks panicked.
She stared at the river bank and cursed.
"What's going on! Why can't you cross the river yet? What a waste of time, you bunch of losers!"
It's a bad idea to have close confidants around you.
"Your Highness, the troops defeated in the river are frightened. If we don't clear a road to get out, if there is a stampede due to the roaring wind, I fear your safety will be affected."
Ashikaga Yoshiji looked at her dissatisfied, and finally snorted coldly and stopped talking.
If she wasn't afraid of death, why would she be capricious and make a humiliating turnaround? She couldn't help but curse Hojo Ryuzan for his incompetence.
In vain for his reputation as a warrior, his flag was cut off during the battle. Now it seems that his head was probably cut off as well, and he took it off to ask for a reward.
The more Ashikaga Yoshiji thought about it, the angrier he became. She originally saw that the front line was stable, and she returned to the battle with luck. After the Hojo clan's political war, she had to share her share of the merits, and I understand that Hojo Ryuzan did not dare to talk too much.
Who would have thought that after being defeated like a mountain, after being transferred twice, she would definitely become a laughing stock and be despised when she returned. What made her even more uncomfortable was that if the Hojo army was defeated, where would her future go?
Ashikaga Yoshiji was worried and worried, and several of her subordinates yelled and cursed in front, asking the defeated troops to make way for her. However, the Kanto general who had escaped twice had lost all his prestige and was ignored.
Ashikaga Yoshiji became more and more anxious as he waited and said sternly.
"We can't wait any longer! You guys will protect me when I cross the river. If anyone is ignorant and tries to block the way, he will be punished on the spot for trespassing!"
"Now that you're here, why bother leaving? It's better to stay!"
"who!"
Ashikaga Yoshiji turned around in panic and saw five or six Hime warriors not far behind her. The leader looked pale and was dripping with sweat on his forehead.
Ashikaga Yoshiji breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how miserable he was, there were still more than a dozen Hatamoto protecting him. He suddenly felt calm and asked.
"Bold! How dare you disrespect me! Do you know my identity?"
The man smiled weakly, stood upright with his spear drawn, and had a handsome face and a heroic demeanor.
"You, the bereaved dog, are my ladder to reach the sky, and I will achieve great success soon. Come with me, Kamakura-den."
Ashikaga Yoshiji turned blue with anger, pointed at her with trembling fingers and cursed.
"Just a few of you? I don't know how high the sky is! Who are you?"
Sanada Nobushige swiped the tip of his spear and laughed.
“I ride the fiercest horse, drink the strongest wine, sleep with the most beautiful man, kill the strongest enemy, and capture the most noble enemy chief!
Listen clearly, I am Sanada Nobushige!"
Ashikaga Yoshiji snorted coldly, with a gloomy expression he tapped Sanada Nobushige with his finger and gave the order.
"Kill this clown!"
"Hi!"
There were three people around her, Hatamoto, on the left and right, protecting her from behind, while the other ten or so Hime warriors rushed towards Sanada Nobunaga and the others.
A man came forward with a gun and stood in front of Sanada Nobushige. It was Umino Riichi. She glanced at Sanada Nobushige and said coldly.
"So much nonsense."
Sanada Nobushige gave her a brilliant smile and took a step forward to fight alongside her to meet the Hatamoto Hime Samurai of Ashikaga Yoshiji.
———
The location of the Hojo Central Army.
Because Teruhora Uesugi charged into the formation without fear of life and death, Yoshigan Shiba and more than 30 cavalrymen penetrated deep into the enemy's formation, making it difficult to turn back.
As the horses charged again and again, the Ji warriors around them became more and more scattered, and in the end only about ten people were left to follow.
Uesugi Teruhu shouted.
"Mr. Kenshin, these Hojo troops are really brave and difficult to deal with."
Shiba Yiyin had already scolded her so much in his heart that he not only wanted to be a fool, but also spared no one from his eighteen generations of ancestors.
He was so angry that he pointed to a military flag in front of him and shouted.
"Nonsense! Look what that is! The other party has changed its command. It's not the immature girl like Hojo Umasa, but a veteran who is proficient in battle formations."
Looking at the military flag in front of him, he saw the five characters of Hachiman Bodhisattva written on the yellow background, and Uesugi Teruhora suddenly realized.
"It turns out to be Rehmannia Hachiman."
In the Battle of Kawagoe, the Hojo family completely defeated the coalition forces of the Kanto shoguns and the two Uesugi families. Hojo Tsunari defended Kawagoe Castle and made a surprise attack on the former Kanto shogun Ashikaga Haruji, which made great achievements.
With her meritorious service, Hojo Tsunari established herself as the No. 1 general of the Hojo family, and also made her Dihuang Hachiman flag famous.
Once the military flag is raised, they will fight to the death. No wonder the Hojo army in the central army is so difficult to deal with. It turns out that it is this Dihuang Hachiman who is holding down the formation and commanding it.
The two exchanged a few words while taking a breather. At this time, drums suddenly sounded in the direction of the Dihuang Hachiman flag in front, and rows of Ji warriors carrying yellow flags and objects on their backs were approaching the cavalry.
Uesugi Teruhu said with his head tilted.
"Awesome, picked the right time to go into battle."
Sibo Yiyin was so angry that he rolled his eyes at her, his expression solemn.
Hojo Tsunari's attack time was just right. A little earlier, the cavalry's horse power and physical strength were still sufficient, and they might not be able to surround them. A little later, Uesugi's elite came to join the lord.
Now stuck in a disconnected situation, Uesugi Teruhu and Shiba Yoshigan are suddenly embarrassed.
Retreating at this time will increase the morale of the Hojo army. If they do not retreat, they will face Hojo Tsunage's Huang Bei, who will face Hojo Tsunage.
The two armies are fighting, one is ebbing and the other is ebbing, and the morale of the army is unpredictable. If he retreated at this time, Uesugi Teruhora took the lead and led the whole army to work hard, but it would be extinguished.
Just as the two masters were hesitating, Huang Bei was already pressing forward step by step, approaching them.
Seeing that he could delay no longer, Shiba Yigen decided to give it a try. He grabbed the reins of Teru Uesugi, got close to her horse, and glared at her.
"Follow me closely from now on! Don't act recklessly again! Do you hear me?"
Teruhora Uesugi curled his lips and said.
"How can I act recklessly? This is all for the victory of the joint battle."
Shiba Yiyin had no choice but to communicate with this bastard, so he directly pulled out his acting skills and stared at her with tears in his eyes. She felt guilty and lowered her head, then she wiped away the tears squeezed out by her acting skills and choked out.
"Do you listen to me?"
The stubborn look on his face as he held back his tears made Uesugi Teruhu feel distressed.
Thinking of his own impulsive actions, which caused his sweetheart to come to the rescue and fall into the enemy's camp together. For a moment, the love between son and daughter was long, and the hero and heroine were short of breath, so she sighed.
"Okay, okay, I listen to you. At worst, we will die fighting here together, becoming a pair of desperate mandarin ducks."
After receiving a submissive answer, Yiyin was no longer too lazy to listen to her nonsense anymore. He turned on the insight mode and scanned the surroundings with his eyes.
Dihuang Hachiman is indeed powerful. Under the suppression of her military flag, the formation of the Hojo Central Army is stable and the mood is stable.
Unfortunately, the two armies fought against each other for a long time, and the troops were always exhausted and out of breath, and the flaw was exposed in the formation.
