Chapter 97 The fierce battle

 Yiyin led the cavalry out of the woods and turned on the insight mode.

The troops at the rear of the formation have been waiting for half a day. Most of them have sufficient physical strength and are in a state of readiness with no flaws.

Only a few people's morale was a little shaken, and time was urgent and he didn't want to think too much. He pointed to a point where morale was shaken a lot and led the team to rush over.

Those points are where the Hexagonal Army is weak, and this is the critical moment for the fierce battle ahead.

All the Liji warriors were sent up, and those who stayed here were mostly weaklings among the countrymen and retainers who had no intention of fighting for their lives.

The ancient cavalry was not the trained modern cavalry and could not carry out a well-organized wall charge.

The charging speed is uneven, and the gap is large enough to wield long weapons. It may not be beneficial to encounter a well-trained spear array.

These Ji warriors under Yi Gin are just domestic servants. For this opportunity, everyone from the young girls in the original uniform to the gray-haired grandma came out.

Even if the troops accompanying the army are all good ones, the success is limited. If you really want to fight against a strong army, you won't get any advantage.

Yiyin didn't want to waste his energy on these miscellaneous soldiers, so everyone shouted together as agreed upon before setting off.

"The shogunate army is attacking the enemy of the samurai family, Rokkaku Yoshihide! Anyone who dares to stop him will be executed for the same crime!"

Those troops had just been attacked by the cavalry, and they still had some courage and wanted to resist.

After hearing this, they saw the royal flag on the Shiba military flag that Yoshitsugi Ohtani immediately placed. Suddenly, most of the warriors lost their fighting spirit.

The higher up the family, the more they despised the declining shogunate, but the lower down the family, the more they respected the majesty of the general.

At this time, those who were still guarding the back and not allowed to go into battle were just some low-level warriors. Upon hearing that the shogunate army was attacking the rebels, the morale of the army was in chaos, and most of them chose to escape.

Occasionally, a few stubborn ones were either crushed by the cavalry, or were swept away by the crowd and had no chance to step forward.

Yi Bank and his party were able to pass the military force behind them so smoothly, and they were also in high spirits.

The arrival of this knight on horseback attracted the attention of this formation.

Rokkaku Yoshiken didn't have time to mobilize the troops in front, but she was still a big name with half a million koku, so she came closer to the horse, and the Hatamoto Hime samurai also had nearly a hundred figures.

These people were originally guarding the front, wary of Asai Nagamasa's desperate surprise attack. At this time, it was too late to mount their horses. The Yoshigan cavalry behind them was already only fifty steps away from the shogunate.

The twenty or thirty flags, spears, and nodachi that had been guarding the rear all raised their sheaths and formed formations at the rear.

These are Rokkaku Yoshixian's close companions. They are well-trained Ji warriors, and they show no fear in the face of the charge of nearly sixty cavalry.

Yiyin took the lead and stabbed the gun first. He was unlucky and had a high probability of missing, so he survived.

A series of charges came up from behind, some of them knocked the flag to death alive, and some of them hit their spears and fell off their horses.

The worst thing was that the horses were already exhausted, but they were forced to collide with the elite Ji warriors, and many of them fell dead in an instant.

The Homaji warriors dismounted and fought on foot one after another, fighting together with the bannermen.

Yiyin watched as the support flags behind the curtain grew more and more. He didn't care about covering up the cheats, and fired at the flags one by one with his left gun and right knife.

This time the probability was good, six out of ten fell down, which also attracted the attention of the enemy.

He was wearing a white jinhaori, which made him eye-catching. Two Yukihime samurai took aim with their bows and shot arrows at him.

An arrow hit his left upper arm, and one was also attached to his right leg. He was so painful that he burst into tears.

Maeda Yoshi behind him was furious, roared, and threw his spear at one of them and the Yukihime samurai.

The area of ​​the curtain was small, and the distance between the two sides was only fifteen or six steps. The spear penetrated the chest of the warrior Ji, and with the remaining force, it hit the curtain behind, staining it bright red.

On the other side, Todo Takatora rushed forward with his gun drawn. With the speed of his horse, he ran into the warrior Yumime with his gun, and they were thrown behind the curtain together. He didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Yiyin endured the pain, held the horse between his thighs and continued to charge, tearing open a curtain and cutting down two Ji warriors.

At this time, seven or eight steps away, three iron cannons were pointed directly at him, and all the concubines behind him were stunned.

Yiyin himself didn't care, he believed in himself and the plug-in. He continued to rush towards Ma Yin's position, where Rokkaku Yixian was!

Three iron cannons fired in a salvo. One blasted the barrel, one was a dumb cannon, and one hit Yiyin's shoulder, causing a large piece of flesh to fly away from the penetrating wound.

But compared to other people who were blasted beyond recognition by iron cannons and shotguns, they were simply blessed by their ancestors.

It was difficult to load the iron cannon, and the iron gunner wanted to retreat, but the crazy Maeda had already rushed in front of him, and his horse knocked over one of them.

The man jumped off his horse, left his ribs with his left hand, and struck a knife with his right hand. The two swords were struck in succession, and he must kill these three people.

Yiyin no longer cared about what was behind him, he tore open another curtain and rushed under the horse seal.

I saw a young woman wearing luxurious Nanman armor, staring at him with a pale face as he rode in.

"Yoshikin of the Ashikaga Ichimen Shiba clan is here! Rokkaku Yoshihide is dead!"

As he said that, he hit the horse with a knife.

Rokkaku Yoshihide didn't know that the situation would change so quickly. He was still complacent at the moment, waiting for the news of Asai Nagamasa's defeat and death.

After a cup of tea, Shiba Yiyin unexpectedly appeared from behind. Most of his white feathers were stained with blood. I don't know how much of it belonged to others and how much was his own.

The handsome young man, riding on a Kiso horse, struck at her with a knife from a high position. She was so frightened that she cleverly blocked the blow with her military fan.

Yiyin snorted, and missed the chance of a fatal blow. He was not discouraged, and struck another blow with his backhand.

Rokkaku Yoshihide fell off the stool, crawled and rolled back and curled up. Even so, he did not escape, and was slashed on the left shoulder with a knife, making a wailing sound.

A group of banners in front had already returned with support, tightly protecting Rokkaku Yoshihide, and stepped forward to attack Yoshihiro.

The two attacks and the fatal blow were ineffective, and Yiyin was also a little annoyed.

Knowing that there was no way to kill Rokkaku Yoshihide, he turned around and saw Otani Yoshitsugi and Akechi Mitsuhide rushing in. The flag guard on the side was strangled side by side by them.

Yi Gin gritted his teeth and blocked it for a while, then exchanged a knife for a knife. He received a few more stab wounds on his body, and also left several Hatamoto corpses.

The two people behind them slashed the flagpole with knives, and after several blows and kicks, the horse seal collapsed.

Nagamasa Asai in front was still rushing forward in despair, and suddenly saw the fall of Ma Yin.

For a moment, I thought there was something wrong with my eyes, but I didn't come back to my senses until the cheers rang out from beside me.

"Rokkaku Yixian is dead! Rokkaku Yixian is dead!"

Cheers quickly spread throughout the entire battle formation. Kenhide Kamao and Kensei Shindo in front were shocked. When they looked back, they could not see their master's horse seal.

In an instant, the Hexagon Army's front line was shaken. Isono Umasa and Akao Kiyosuna gritted their teeth and waited for this moment.

They all thought that Asai Nagamasa succeeded according to the plan, and immediately launched a counterattack. On the battlefield, the offensive and defensive positions changed, and the Hexagon Army was defeated like a mountain.

Kamao Kenhide and Shindo Kenmori had no choice but to gather their forces and retreat backwards.

In the Rokkaku Honjin shogunate, Asai Nagamasa met Yoshigan.

Wearing a blood-stained white jinhaori, the handsome young man holds a gun and a sword, his feet are in horse prints, and he greets everyone with a smile.

"Lord Asai, you are late."

His magnificence was unparalleled and unparalleled, and Asai Nagamasa fell in love with him.
