Hojo Tsunari watched the armored cavalry slowly increase their speed, and the Hojo reserve team around him began to stir.
The Wu family had never seen this kind of men, horses, plate armor and heavy cavalry that were armed to the teeth. The half-peasant, half-soldier reserve team simply did not have the courage to face such a natural enemy. Fortunately, she still had Huang Bei.
Hojo Tsunari arrived to take command and shouted.
"Raise your gun! Arrange your formation!"
The Ji warriors carrying yellow flags took a step forward, raised three and a half anti-cavalry super long spears, inserted the tails of the spears into the ground at a 45-degree angle, and kneeled half-kneeling to block the spears with both arms.
The Ji warrior behind them put another super long gun on their shoulders, held the gun under his arm and locked it tightly with both hands, lowering his waist to prepare for the impact.
These Huang Bei followed Hojo Tsunagi in southern and northern wars. Their martial arts and courage were all excellent, and they were the most elite members of the Hojo family.
Now facing the armored cavalry, although his heart trembled, he still had the energy and energy to face them on the battlefield, which was far beyond the ordinary reserve troops.
———
Seeing Huang Bei forming the formation, the corners of Dao Shengmeng's mouth slightly curled up under her mask. She stood at the forefront of the cavalry and waved.
The cavalry behind them used her as the edge and began to accelerate. The two wings were behind, the arrow was in front, and the formation was formed. However, Shima Shengmeng, who was at the edge, seemed to be going astray.
Under her deliberate guidance, the cavalry did not walk in a straight line, but in an arc sloping toward the north, avoiding the front of Huang Bei's gun array.
It's just that the cavalry kept accelerating from far to near, and the infantry didn't react for a while. By the time Hojo Tsunari realized something was wrong and called for a change of formation, the cavalry had already rushed in front of them.
The samurai reserve team is not a professional soldier. When faced with an unexpected situation, these mixed troops of Ashigaru-hime samurai warriors, some people were stunned on the spot, and some people turned their guns around, causing conflicts in an instant and disrupting the formation.
At this moment, Shima Shengmeng led his troops and rushed in from the enemy's reserve at an angle. Most of the enemy's spears were still facing the front.
A whole row of armored cavalry was a medieval tank weighing more than 400 kilograms. The malnourished ashigaru in the front row were instantly knocked away. The fear of a sudden car accident caused the ashigaru to flee in all directions.
Huang Bei's array was attacked by the escaping Ashigaru, and he reluctantly marched backwards holding three and a half super long spears, trying to attack the armored cavalry.
But Dao Shengmeng didn't give them any chance. He used his horse speed to attack in depth and ran rampant in the formation.
The cavalry in the front row did not care about killing the enemy, but kept their horse speed and scattered the enemy's formation. The knight on horseback calmly pierced the enemy warriors in the scattered formation with their spears, driving the ashigaru who had a mental breakdown back to his side.
———
Hojo Tsunari looked at the chaos in front of her with a pale face. The armored cavalry was more terrifying than she imagined. This armored cavalry commander was very cunning and used an oblique charge to destroy the entire flank.
She glanced at the Hojo Ujimasa Honbu who was crossing the river behind her, and knew that she must not get out of the way at this time. If these wolf-like and tiger-like cavalry were allowed to rush to the shore, they would be able to drive away the defeated troops, trample them, and drown countless people.
Hojo Tsunari shouted.
"Hold my flag and follow me into battle! Blow the law and let all Huang Bei come closer to me and kill the enemy!"
———
Hojo Tsunari gave up the flank battlefield, gathered all Huang Bei, and firmly protected the back of the Hojo Ushimasa formation who was crossing the river.
Shima Katsu glanced at the battlefield, turned his horse's head, and led his cavalry to break through in the direction of Shiba Yiyin's military flag.
The armored cavalry crossed all the way from the flank of the Hojo Central Army, completely disrupting the enemy's formation at the front. Countless ashigaru suffered mental breakdowns and turned back to escape.
Yiyin had already seen the armored cavalry charging into the formation, but he didn't expect Dao Sheng to come so quickly. At this time, the two sides joined forces, and he shouted and asked.
"Shimahime, you came so quickly!"
Shima Shengmeng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Yoshiyin was fine. She opened her face armor and stared at the dirty hands of Kamao Clan surrounding her master's waist.
As if being stabbed by a sharp blade, Kamao quickly let go of his hand, jumped off his horse, and rode with Naomasa Ii.
Dao Shengmeng saw that she knew her face, and then he respectfully answered Yiyin's question.
"The imperial envoy sent an order to the northern front, telling you and His Highness Uesugi to break into the enemy's position. Lord Yamanaka and I were deeply shocked and decided that I would break through the enemy's position on the northern front and come directly to support."
When Yiyin heard that she was rushing over directly, he immediately said anxiously.
"What about the Northern Line? What about the Northern Line?"
Dao Shengmeng said.
"Before I came, I had already broken through the enemy lines on the northern front. Lord Yamanaka took over and continued to advance. Please believe in Lord Yamanaka's ability. There will be no problems on the northern front."
Yoshigami smiled bitterly and shook his head. Shima Katsuruo's words were somewhat sarcastic. He just didn't trust Yamanaka Yukimori's abilities, but he couldn't blame Shima Katsuru and Yamanaka Yukimori for changing their tactics.
The general was outside, and military orders were not obeyed. They were trapped in the enemy's position, and they split up to rescue themselves. This was also a sign of loyalty within their command scope, and it was not easy to criticize them harshly.
Yoshigami sighed. Now that things have come to an end, matters on the northern front can no longer be taken care of. It is better to defeat the Hojo Central Army first.
He said solemnly.
"Shimahime, you lead the team forward and cooperate with me to cut down Hojo Tsunari's flag.
The troops on the front lines of Hojo are now in a state of confusion, and as long as the Dihuang Hachiman flag falls to the ground, it will inevitably collapse."
"Hi!"
Yoshigami looked back at Uesugi Teruhora and said.
"Your Highness Uesugi, I will send someone to escort you back to the Uesugi Army. Please ensure that they advance with all their strength.
This battle has been won, but the strategic goal of annihilating the Hojo army has not yet been achieved, and the battle is not over yet, so we must not slack off."
Teruhora Uesugi knew what Yoshigami was implying, and was afraid that those in the Uesugi Central Army would lose control again, so she nodded and assured.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qianxin, with me in charge, these people will not dare to disobey."
"Then please."
After saying this, Yoshigami didn't waste any time. He divided ten cavalry from the Shima Katsu fierce army to protect Uesugi Teruhora, and then led his fellow soldiers to charge towards the yellow eight flags of the Hojo army with the cavalry.
———
Yamanaka Yukimori, who was secretly worried by Yoshigan, had already reached the bank of the Akiyama River and watched his reserve troops drive the Hojo army into the river with great ferocity.
Although the water in the river during the dry season was no more than ankle-deep, the defeated troops tripped over talc in the water and were severely trampled on by deserters, drowning and trampling countless people to death. The scene was horrific.
"Yamanaka-sama!"
Yamanaka Yukimori looked back and saw Sanada Nobuhige holding a rope in his hand. On the other side of the rope, a Hime Samurai's hands were tied behind her back, half dragging and half pushing her over.
"Oh, Sanada-hime, you have made a great contribution this time."
Yamanaka Yukimori's expression was complicated. The outstanding Yamano Princess warrior had done a lot today. Thinking of her coveting the imperial palace, Yamanaka Yukimori felt uncomfortable and even a little sick.
Sanada Nobushige didn't care how Yamanaka Yumori responded. She pushed the bound Hime Samurai down in front of Yamanaka Yumori. The man struggled to get up, but she kicked him in the knee, causing him to kneel down in pain.
"Master Yamanaka, look who I caught?"
Yukimori Yamazaka stared at this girl. Although she was in a miserable state, she had a luxurious body and an extraordinary temperament.
While she was guessing, Umino Riichi followed up and threw the horse seal and family crest in front of her.
