Uesugi Teruhora took advantage of the long tail crowd to dismount and fight, tightly grasping the opportunity of Takeda Chibei, and led Hatamoto to rush through the Chibei spear formation.
Takeda Harunobu sat on the horse and could not recover for a moment.
She had 400 elite troops hidden deep inside, and she was originally going to catch Sugi Teruhu by surprise.
Unexpectedly, the cavalry team led by Teru Uesugi was so strong and cunning that they could temporarily turn to the side and charge to the side. After the impact, they dismounted and fought with Chibei.
Akabi is a young man carefully selected by Takeda Harunobu from various families in Kai. He is the essence of the samurai family brewed by the Takeda family who have dominated Kai country for more than a hundred years.
For example, the bannermen of ordinary daimyo would have been beaten to death and suffered heavy losses.
The cavalry charging into battle was at a disadvantage in the face of well-trained elite spearmen. What's more, Japan has seven mountains, two rivers and one farmland, and there is no habit of armouring horses. The long-tailed warriors are not heavy cavalry good at charging into battle.
But no matter how good Takeda Harunobu's calculations were, he couldn't compare to Uesugi Terutora's madness.
The foundation of Uesugi Teruhora's rule over Echigo was the Nagao clan. These Hime samurai were loyal to her and were her most reliable foundation.
This time, in order to have the final say in the battle, she actually pulled out hundreds of Long Tail members.
These Ji Warriors were highly skilled in martial arts and cooperated with each other tacitly. They broke into the Red Bei Spear Formation in one fell swoop. No one on either side took advantage.
But what's the point of this?
If these Nagao sect members were exposed here, Uesugi Teruhora's confidence in ruling Echigo would be destroyed by more than half.
Takeda Harunobu was deeply influenced by Sun Tzu's Art of War and could not believe that such a madman could exist, so he lost the opportunity.
She was still dazed, but Teruhora Uesugi had already led the Hatamoto clan into Takeda Hatamoto.
Takeda Hatamoto and the others did not expect that the Chibei Spear Formation would be easily broken through, and lacked psychological preparation.
Under the impact of the war horses, Takeda Hatamoto's queue was loosened, and the two sides fought in a chaotic mess.
However, Uesugi Teruhora completely ignored the others and charged forward on his horse, plunging his spear into Takeda Hatamoto who was blocking the road, knocking her away with inertia.
This Takeda Hatamoto was also fierce, holding onto the spear with both hands, forcing Terutora Uesugi to drop the spear to avoid being dismounted by her.
At this moment, Uesugi Terutora could only see Takeda Harunobu sitting on the horse, and he felt a mixture of sadness and anger in his heart.
If you, a bastard, hadn't been playing tricks behind my back, why would I have been killed in Yuezhong! Why would I have let Shiba Yiyin take over the sword! How would I have ended the relationship between the two of them!
It's a pity that I'm still stuck in this situation. I can only look for a chance in the impossible! It's all your fault!
Go to hell!
Terutora Uesugi showed murderous intent on his face, drew his sword, galloped forward on his horse, and slashed at Takeda Harunobu with the sword.
Takeda Harunobu secretly screamed, she was caught off guard and could only block it with the fan in her hand.
The military regiment fan is made of metal ribs, covered with cowhide, and the outer edge is made of metal, making it heavy and sturdy.
Teru Uesugi's sword was so powerful that Takeda Harunobu's fan was split in half, causing him to break into a cold sweat.
Uesugi Teruhora grunted, drew her sword and struck again. She was condescending and used the height of her horse to strike in the air.
Takeda Harunobu's fan was useless and there was nothing in her hands to resist her. In desperation, she rolled down her horse and rolled in extreme embarrassment to escape from Uesugi Teruhora's attack range.
Seeing that the governor was in danger, Takeda Hatamoto turned to rescue regardless of Uesugi Hatamoto in front of him. Several people rushed forward and formed a human wall in front of Takeda Harunobu, who was lying on the ground.
Kansuke Yamamoto, who was nearby, quickly grabbed Takeda Harunobu's upper arm, helped her up and retreated.
Uesugi Hatamoto saw that Terutora Uesugi was facing the enemy alone, so he rushed forward regardless of his life and surrounded his lord.
The two were isolated by the flag. Seeing that there was no chance, Uesugi Teruhu turned his attention to the side. There was Takeda Harunobu's horse seal and military flag.
Takeda Harunobu was horrified and shouted.
"Protect the horse seal and military flag!"
The horse seal is the courage of the army, and the military flag is the soul of the military family. Once the two fall to the ground, the spirit of the army in front will be shattered, and the Takeda army will inevitably collapse.
There was a trace of sarcasm on Uesugi Teruhora's lips, and just as he was about to call out to his flag for protection, he stepped forward to chop down the flag.
In the distance, the sound of formations of conch shells suddenly came from the distance, and the two family governors both had stern expressions on their faces, looking for the source.
The sound of the conch comes from the south.
A Takeda cavalry team entered the battlefield from the south and beat Saito Asanobu's guerrillas who were surrounding Takeda's left wing, forcing them to retreat steadily.
Takeda Harunobu glanced at the flag and laughed.
"Good! What a Baba Hime!"
The flag of the Takeda Cavalry belonged to Nobuharu Baba. She gathered the knights in the Takeda ambush and quickly returned to the army to join the battle.
The cavalry team joined the battlefield and quickly disrupted Saito Asanobu's army, then dismounted and fought on foot, further disrupting the battlefield.
Takeda's left wing also came to its senses and launched an ambush attack in coordination with Takeda's returning troops.
Takeda Harunobu smiled happily, but Uesugi Terutora frowned.
He looked back at the Long Tail clan members who had dismounted. These people were fighting fiercely and could not easily escape and retreat.
Takeda ambushes troops to return for reinforcements, but the opportunity to fight has been lost. Should they be allowed to fight to the death to stop the attack and buy time for themselves to return to the army and retreat?
Uesugi Teruhora had some regrets. If these two hundred long tails were lost to Kawanakajima, her rule in Echigo would be very troublesome in the future.
Just when she was gritting her teeth and about to make a choice, there was another uproar on the battlefield.
Under the siege of Murakami Yoshikiyo and Kakizaki Keie, with no results for a long time, Takeda's right wing, which was tightly united, suddenly loosened violently, and a large number of broken troops turned around and fled.
Takeda Harunobu looked to the north in disbelief. What? The right wing was about to collapse? Why did it collapse at this critical moment?
This time frame makes it difficult to make a decision.
Takeda Harunobu's left wing turned, and the returning Takeda ambush troops broke into the battlefield from the southeast, and they were about to turn defeat into victory.
At this time, Takeda's right wing, which had always been tenacious, suddenly showed signs of collapse, and the battlefield fell into chaos where the outcome was unpredictable.
Uesugi Teruhora left the main formation, Takeda Harunobu's main formation was smashed into a sieve, both sides lost the right to command the military situation, and no one could adjust anymore.
At this time, we can only rely on the military leaders to respond on their own. This is a time to test the will and trust of the two family governors.
Firmly believe in your own victory and trust in the ability of the warrior Ji under your command.
Uesugi Terutora grinned, pointed his sword at Takeda Harunobu's horse seal and military flag, and shouted.
"Go! Cut them!"
The situation was looking good, and Takeda Harunobu was unwilling to back down any longer.
This fierce battle brought out her ferocious nature, she didn't care about knowing herself and her enemy, and she just wanted to kill the bastard Uesugi Terutora who was causing her great embarrassment.
She pointed at Terutora Uesugi on the horse and shouted.
"Come! I want her head!"
In Takeda's main formation, the most loyal members of the two clan governors, the Hime Warriors, carried out a bloody massacre. The elite stood side by side, poking with spears, stabbing with knives, and biting with teeth.
Either you die or I live.
Takeda Harunobu did not move forward, and Uesugi Terutora was also squeezed out of the front line by the Nagao people. The battlefield was too bloody, and neither side dared to let their master take risks again.
