No matter how jealous Benzhuang Fanchang was, she had no right to refuse. I can only pretend to be obedient and obey the orders of Xing Sheng in the mountain.
When Yoshigan Shiba of our own camp received the message from the left wing, he was also surprised. He walked out of the shogunate and looked at the northern side of the line from the high ground.
Uesugi Teruhu asked, following closely behind.
"Mr. Qianxin, what's the problem?"
Yiyin shook his head.
"It's not really a problem. It's just that the enemy forces on the northern front were a little impatient and deployed their troops too early.
Sanada Nobunshige's first hand has been filled up, and he is afraid that he will not be able to survive noon. "
Terutora Uesugi followed and frowned.
"Hojo's right wing advanced too eagerly and was somewhat out of touch with the center, forcing Hojo's central army to follow suit."
Yiyin pointed at the enemy's northern line and smiled.
"Did you see that Ashikaga family crest? It should be the pseudo-Kanto general supported by Hojo Ujiyasu, Ashikaga Yoshiji.
She probably knew that the northern front was occupied by the Kwantung Imperial Guard, so out of political considerations, she became impatient and launched a fierce attack in advance. "
Teru Uesugi sneered.
"idiot."
A joint battle involving tens of thousands of people is not a small battle in which a single moment of bravery can lead to complete victory. The huge battlefield requires continuous investment of reserves to fight a protracted battle.
Before noon of the war, Ashikaga Yoshiji began to intensify her efforts, forcing the army into an attack posture. Her behavior was very cost-effective.
The vanguard group at the Kanto Palace was not yet exhausted, and too many enemy troops caused the vanguard group to be held back and fall into a defensive disadvantage. But in other words, defense is far more energy-saving than offense.
In order to maintain the offensive, the Ashikaga Yoshiji on the opposite side must continue to increase their efforts and invest more troops in order to maintain their current advantageous situation.
Breaking the balance of power prematurely not only disrupted the enemy's own rhythm on the northern front, but also led the Hojo Central Army to keep up, preventing loopholes in the front.
Ashikaga Yoshiji's impatience, on the one hand, reduced his reserve team and made it difficult to deal with emergencies. On the other hand, the Hojo clan, which also forced the Chinese army to cooperate, created more loopholes.
Sibo Yiyin thought for a moment and said.
"This may be an opportunity to consume the Ashikaga Yoshiji's back-up troops first, trick the Hojo Ushimasa's main formation across the river, and defeat them in one fell swoop."
Terutora Uesugi thought for a moment and asked.
"Isn't it too obvious to seduce them like this? There are not all fools in the Hojo Army. There will always be someone who will notice something is wrong."
According to the original plan of the two people, this battle should be a serious battle. In the afternoon, due to the numerical disadvantage, they would fight and retreat, luring the enemy across the river, and then use the Plate Armor Princess Warrior to make the final decision.
But now, due to Ashikaga Yoshiji's impatience, it seems that he can lead the enemy's right wing of the northern line across the river in advance, driving the Hojo Ujimasa's main formation to move forward and make a surprise attack.
In this case, the Echigo army would not need to stand in a stalemate with the opponent for too long, and the army's losses would be much smaller.
However, Uesugi Teruhu was worried that Hojo would see the plan to lure the snake out of the cave. If they retreat into formation and don't fall for the trick, today's preparations will be in vain.
Yiyin still felt confident and said.
"The Hojo Ujimasa sent troops to lead Sano, she was very frizzy, and her eagerness could not be concealed at all. At this time, Ashikaga Yoshiji's actions also showed that she was eager to defeat the Kanto Palace.
One of them is the new governor of the Hojo family, and the other is the new general of Kanto. Every move of the two of them is impatient. What does this mean? "
Teru Uesugi said with a clear understanding.
"They want to prove themselves."
Yiyin nodded in agreement and was categorical.
“They all just came to power and their footing is not yet stable, so they need a big win to solidify their position.
As soon as we show any flaws, they will follow. Because there were 20,000 people in Hojo's army, they didn't believe that they would lose. At most, they would suffer a bigger loss. As long as you can beat us, it's worth it.
This is a political battle. The more the veterans dissuade them, the more they have to cross the river to prove that they are right. "
Teruhora Uesugi couldn't help laughing anymore and said.
"I see.
Just like when my mother passed away, I not only had to fight in person, but I also had to be victorious in every battle, otherwise I would not be able to suppress the arrogant soldiers inside and outside the Nagao family. "
Yiyin nodded and said.
"I will ask Yukimori Yamanaka of the second formation to send troops to the river bank to assist in defense. He will first stabilize the front line, and then slowly shrink back to lead Ashiki Yoshishi across the river.
Your headquarters then retreated, but Irobe Katsunaga on the southern front asked her to stick to the river bank and not retreat even an inch. "
Terutora Uesugi chuckled and said.
"Okay. Let's retract our fists and give Hojo Umasa a hard blow. We must beat her until she has teeth all over the floor."
The vanguard groups of both sides were in a stalemate at Qiu Shanchuan. If the northern line retreated greatly and the center line retreated, the battle line would become a diagonal line from northwest to southeast.
The enemy's Ashikaga Yoshiji on the northern front is impatient and will inevitably follow up deep into the west bank. If Hojo Ushimasa believed in his superiority and wanted a quick victory, he would definitely follow him across the river to prevent being disconnected from the northern line.
However, Irobe Katsunaga on the southern front stood firm and refused to retreat. The Hojo army on the southern front was unable to break through the Akiyama River, so it was unable to cross the river to protect the flanks of the Hojo Chinese army.
At this time, if Yoshigan's armored warriors hidden behind the formation came out, defeated the exhausted Ashikaga Yoshiji on the northern front, and directly outflanked the central army of the Hojo clan, she would be in big trouble.
Although Qiu Shanchuan resembles a small stream during the dry season, it is still a river, which is enough to slow down the retreat of the army.
As long as Uesugi Teruhora's central army sticks to Hojo's central army, Hojo's army will not be allowed to retreat easily. Daosheng's fierce armored cavalry will make these warriors who have never seen the world understand what despair means.
In the twelfth century, the Crusader countries took advantage of positional warfare and used heavy cavalry and heavy footwork to defeat the light troops of the Middle Eastern dynasties. They even led the Middle Eastern dynasties to reflect and gave birth to the Mamluk Army.
Shiba Yoshigan and Uesugi Teruhora looked at each other and smiled. For a moment, they had a mental connection, and they laughed a bit like a couple.
Yiyin lowered his head and coughed, then turned around and returned to the shogunate, wondering what was going on with himself? Such wrong hints should never be given to her in the future.
Seeing him like this, Uesugi Teruhora behind him chuckled, thinking he was shy, and followed him into the shogunate with a smile.
———
The formation sent an envoy to deliver Yoshigan Shiba's order to Yukimori Yamanaka, and she began to give the order.
"Himjo-hime, you lead the reserve team up first and prepare to take over from the Sanada people's reserve team. Remember, retreat slowly and lead the enemy troops ashore."
"Hi!"
Although Honjo Nobanaga was reluctant, the military order had been issued and she could only carry it out, so she led the troops forward.
Yamanaka Yukimori looked at her leaving figure and said softly to Kachi Kagetsuna.
"Be prepared and lead the team to support at any time. The Plate Warrior and I must stabilize our position and will not attack easily.
Please keep an eye on me for my sake. She is too selfish. Don't let her miss important events at the imperial office. "
"Hi!"
