Yamazaka Yukimori's full-army assault was a helpless move.
Each reserve team was exhausted, so they could only rely on Ji Ji, who was eager for military rewards, to lead them and give them a final try. Although this was effective, it also completely broke up the army's command system.
Hime Samurai is the main force of the reserve team, and is also the grassroots commander who suppresses Ashigaru. Now the whole army is in chaos, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. I don’t know how long it will take to rest and organize again.
The fighter opportunity passed in an instant, and Yamanaka Yukimori had no choice but to mess around in order to seize the victory.
She allowed the generals of each reserve team to perform freely, and organized as many people as they could into battle, chasing them indiscriminately, and following them to cover up Hojo's defeated troops.
It was the strategic intention of the Echigo army to take advantage of the difficult terrain of the Sano Territory to retreat and try to annihilate the Hojo elite in the joint battle.
Yamanaka Yukimori must seize the time to counterattack now, and cannot allow Hojo's defeated army to slow down and be organized again to stabilize the northern front.
———
Sanada Nobushige looked at the chaos of the Kanto Palace Army and wanted to join in the pursuit, but he was powerless.
The Sanada Iron Armored Army fought for too long, and these warriors wearing plate armor could no longer fight. After killing Hojo Ryuzan, all Hojo troops on the northern battlefield were defeated.
Hojo's defeated troops were all running away, trying to cross the Akiyama River. Among the rebellious troops, the family crest flag of Ashikaga Yoshiji began to slowly retreat again. Only this time, her retreat was much slower.
A large number of defeated troops fled. At this time, who cared about her as the Kanto General and the Hojo Right Wing General. The key to escape is not to run faster than the enemy, but to run faster than the friendly forces.
Sanada Nobunaga looked at the slowly retreating Ashikaga Yoshiji flag, a gleam of light bloomed in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
She stood up again unsteadily, and there was no part of her body that was not in pain. My skin was sticky and uncomfortable, my face was burning hot, and my throat was dry and felt like it was about to split.
Just as she was about to shout something, a violent cough broke out in her dry throat. The heavy plate armor and sweltering cotton armor made her quickly dehydrated, her heartbeat accelerated, and her physical condition was very bad.
Sanada Nobushige endured the discomfort. At this time, several Hime warriors rushed from the northwest, led by Umino Riichi.
I saw many water bags hanging on their bodies. They rushed to the Sanada Iron Armored Army who was sitting on the ground and handed them water bags one by one.
As soon as Umino found an idiot still standing among the countless tin cans, he knew who she was.
She quickly walked over, knocked Sanada Nobunaga's helmet with her hand, and held her up.
"You idiot, sit down and rest quickly, drink some water. Don't take off your plate armor yet, hold on no matter how heavy or tired you are.
Wait until the body temperature slowly drops before taking it off. At this time, nail removal may cause nail polish wind, which can lead to sudden death. "
She opened Sanada Nobushige's mask and put the opening of the water bag to her mouth.
Sanada Nobushige, whose throat had been smoking for a long time, swallowed hard, and the water flowed through her parched throat, which made her choke out in pain, and tears accompanied the pain.
Umino Riichi's always cold face twitched and he cursed coldly.
"Drink slowly!"
Her movements were much gentler, and she slowly poured the water into Sanada Nobushige's mouth. Sanada Nobushige choked and drank, and finally let out a breath.
"Liu Niang came at the right time and saved her life."
Umino Riichi's Sanmu face relaxed slightly and whispered.
"It was my miscalculation. I didn't expect Hojo's right wing to be so resilient. If you hadn't bravely broken through the formation, this time would have been very troublesome."
Sanada Nobushige shook his head slightly and said.
"It's not your fault. The Hojo family is powerful in the Kanto Plain. How can the elites of her family be ordinary people that are easy to deal with?
Only by defeating such an opponent can we show our value, and now we are still a little short of it. "
Umino Lee was stunned and said.
"You still want to attack? You really don't want your life!
These sisters have been wearing plate armor for a long time and are no longer able to fight anymore. If you force them into battle again, they will die suddenly. "
Sanada Nobushige bared his teeth and smiled.
"I didn't say I wanted them to go. Didn't you bring someone here? You just happened to follow me to find Ashikaga Yoshiji and capture this Kanto general."
Umino Riichi and the newly arrived Hime warriors were forced to stay by the Sanada clan because they did not have enough points for one hundred sets of plate armor.
She half-closed her eyes, raised her eyes to the east, looked at the flag of the Ashikaga Yoshi clan and said.
"I won't go crazy with you. Sanada has done a great job in this battle, which is enough for you to lie down and rest for a while."
Sanada Nobushige laughed and said.
"Liu Niang, when was your most glorious moment? When you were a child, you played a war game and led people to ambush you in the snow, beating me and my sisters until we ran away in confusion?"
Umino glared at her and said coldly.
"Don't waste your breath, I won't be fooled by you."
Sanada Nobushige swallowed hard, looked at Umino Riichi seriously, and said.
"Liu Niang, my most glorious moment is now!
Help me take off my plate armor and let me take these energetic sisters up there. I will definitely be able to capture Ashikaga Yoshiji!
We have made a lot of contributions, but there is just something missing! The Kamakura Ashikaga family was the most powerful person in Kanto after the Ashikaga Shogun. dont you agree? "
Umino Ri glanced at the Sanada Ironclads who were unable to move around him and said coldly.
"You can't even move now, but you still want to catch Ashikaga Yoshiji? Do you know how scary the armor-removing wind is?
If I take off your plate armor now, you might really be blown to death by a gust of autumn wind! "
Sanada Nobunaga's face straightened and he said solemnly.
"Liu Niang, please let me beg you.
The island is fierce and the mountain is prosperous. They all understand my ambition and my love for Odaisho.
You said, I have no way out, I must win this battle to dazzle everyone with military glory!
I did it, Liu Niang, I finally have the determination to cut off one's wrists. "
Umino Riichi looked into Sanada Nobunaga's burning eyes, and two tears suddenly fell down on Sanmu's cold face.
"I believe you, but this time, I want to go with you."
She wiped away her tears, reached out and opened the lock of Sanada Nobunaga's plate armor, and said harshly.
"Promise me you won't die, absolutely, absolutely! If you die from the armor-removing wind, I will never forgive myself!"
Nobushige Sanada stretched out his arms tiredly, gave a thumbs up, and smiled casually.
"I won't die, I still want to marry Odaisho, I want to help you revive the Umino family, and I want to lead everyone to live a good life.
Liu Niang, I finally found the value of my life. I like it very much, this time I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
I saw everyone following me closely, charging into battle with me, and dying from injuries. My heart is roaring at me, it can't end like this!
I'm going to capture Ashikaga Yoshiji, and I'm going to get military exploits that will stun everyone. I want everyone to know that I, Nobushige Sanada, am the strongest, and my sisters are the strongest!
We are the first soldiers of the Warring States Period! "
With tears streaming down his face and trembling all over, Umino Toshiichi peeled off Sanada Nobushige's plate armor piece by piece.
On a crisp autumn day, a gust of cool wind blew up from the plains, hitting Nobuhige Sanada's soaked cotton armor, making his body tremble uncontrollably.
