Yiyin switched to killing mode and shouted to the dozen riders behind him.
"Follow me closely! I'll clear the way!"
Huang Bei attacked from the front, but he rushed out from the side, shocking everyone.
The group of people was trapped in a tight siege. In front of them was the Dihuang Eight Banners. The enemy troops on the left and right were the thickest. Neither of them was a good choice. The best option was to retreat.
But Uesugi Teruhu was unwilling to retreat, and the two sides were in a confrontation again, and Yoshihiro was equally unwilling. Echigo had fewer troops, so the war would last longer and the casualties would be heavier after the war, so a quick victory was the best option.
Hojo's right wing has penetrated deep into the northern front, and Yoshigan has confidence in the Ji warriors at the Kanto Palace. They will definitely be able to successfully defeat Hojo's right wing and outflank the central army.
Therefore, what he has to do now is to try his best to delay time. If the cavalry of the two masters interferes with the enemy's formation, the enemy's attention will be firmly attracted, buying time for the northern front.
Although the enemy army was well prepared for the road Yiyin chose, his mood was stable. But under the insight mode, it showed that it was weak and weak, and its physical strength had already been exhausted.
This reserve team is holding on, and nothing can be seen from the outside. Even their commander, Hojo Tsunari, doesn't know about it. But Yiyin's insight mode has already seen through everything.
He took the lead and rushed into the enemy formation. He seemed to be overestimating his own capabilities. Uesugi Teruhu was shocked behind him and had no choice but to bravely accompany him in the charge.
Among the group of people, Kamaojigo and Ii Naomasa followed closely behind. They had already put their life and death aside, and they would go wherever the emperor went.
Samurai Hatamoto, who hesitated after that, gritted his teeth and followed. If the two masters died here, they would be beheaded in public when they went back. It would be cleaner to die together in battle.
Yiyin's legs tightly clamped the war horse and stepped on the horse's stirrups. Holding the reins in one hand and sweeping the spear in the other, he charged into the enemy's formation.
However, the seemingly solid spear array was blocked by his horse, which directly deflected several spears. It turned out that the ashigaru in the front row had already lost his strength, and his hands instantly took off his guns and fell to the ground, allowing Yoshigan to disperse.
His spear came into contact with several people, seemingly passing by lightly, but the effect was immediate, killing a group of people. The frightened and exhausted ashigaru fell to the ground, unable to get up to stop him.
Yiyin easily charged in with one man and one horse, completely exposing the tough nature of this reserve team.
Then more than ten cavalry followed up and trampled the spear formation, and the ashigaru fled in all directions. Samurai Hime was swept away, causing chaos among the surrounding troops.
Huang Bei, who had originally locked the cavalry, lost his target again and went retrograde in the chaotic military formation. It was difficult to get close to Yiyin and his cavalry for a while.
———
The commanding officer, Tsunari Hojo, frowned. He saw Yoshigan leading the cavalry to rush left and right, showing great courage. Under his seemingly calm appearance, he was anxious.
Her instinct from years of fighting told her that something was wrong. The two masters, Terutora Uesugi and Yoshigan Shiba, were trapped in the formation and did not want to retreat. Instead, they seemed to be holding back the Hojo army.
Hojo Tsunari, who originally had the advantage in numbers, should not be impatient. But the other party is also a battle-hardened general and will not act stupidly unless they have ulterior motives.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Tsunari Hojo frowned and ordered.
"Where are the bows and arrows? Move up to snipe the enemy cavalry and shoot at close range."
Hatamoto next to him looked at Hojo Tsunari in surprise and asked.
"Sir, the enemy's cavalry is trapped deep in our formation and is surrounded by our soldiers. Will they be accidentally injured?"
Before she could finish speaking, Hojo Tsunari glared back and cursed.
"I say, send the bows and arrows up to shoot at close range! As long as you can kill the enemy leader, it's worth it even if you accidentally kill a friendly army.
When the time comes, the compensation will be doubled, and I will be the one to endorse and apologize. As long as we can win, I will bear this stain! "
The flagman shouted loudly, lowered his head and sent the order to the envoy.
Hojo Tsunari stopped looking at her and continued to focus on the battlefield. Of course she knew that using arrows in her own formation would easily injure her own people, which would hurt morale.
But as long as he can shoot the knight on horseback, or even just the war horse, to slow down the cavalry, Huang Bei, who is surrounding the cavalry, can catch up and kill Uesugi Teruhu.
The uneasiness in her heart became stronger and stronger. Hojo Tsunari was no longer willing to delay any longer. She wanted to kill Uesugi Teruhu at all costs.
———
Shiba Yiyin took the lead and led the cavalry to continuously cut into the enemy's weak points. He seems to be a prophet, always able to sniff out the strong-willed and powerful in the enemy's formation.
With each successful breakthrough, Uesugi Teruhu's eyes behind him became more and more admiring. This powerful sense of battlefield and the talent of finding the enemy's weaknesses are what all warriors dream of.
Although there are only a dozen or so cavalry left in the cavalry, the advantage of having fewer people is that they can turn around more flexibly and are not easily trapped.
With Yoshigan's humanoid radar looking for soft persimmons, a group of cavalry troops were at ease, rampaging through the Hojo army and becoming unstoppable.
At this moment, seven or eight Hojo Hime warriors quietly approached with bows in hand. Thirty steps away, the commander stretched out his hand to indicate that they all strung their bows and pointed their arrows at the cavalry.
Immediately following the horses of the two lords, Kamao Shigo saw a flash of light in front of his eyes, and he suddenly became alert.
She glanced at the enemy army, and suddenly saw the Hojo Princess warriors who had arrows in their bows. They rushed forward with their horses and used themselves and their horses to block the two masters, blocking the arrows.
"Odaisuo! Be careful!"
After a sound of bow strings, Pu Sheng's war horse howled, raised its front hooves high, and turned sideways to fall, knocking Pu Sheng's horse off its back.
Yiyin finally reacted and said in surprise when he saw several sharp arrows on the horse.
"Kamohime! Are you okay?"
Kamouso struggled to get up, carrying an arrow on his shoulder. Fortunately, he was not crushed by the fallen horse.
"Otaisuo! There are cold arrows! Move quickly!"
The surrounding Hojo troops did not surround her because she fell off the horse. Instead, they left a distance because two of them were hit by sharp arrows and fell to the ground. They hesitated for a moment in fear.
Being shot at indiscriminately by his own bows and arrows in his own army made Hojo's army a little confused about the situation and hesitantly did not charge forward.
On the contrary, Huang Bei in the distance saw the cavalry stopped and rushed over eagerly, getting closer and closer.
Pusheng clan drew his sword and cut off the arrow shaft, shouting.
"Otaisuo, hurry up! I'll cut off the queen!"
Yiyin glared at her and cursed.
"Cut your head off! Come up here!"
He drove his horse close to Pu Sheng's village to pull her up. Remembering something, the Hamo family turned around and pulled off the Sibo Yiyin's Yanxin flag from the back of his fallen horse.
Yoshigan saw that the Hojo Hime Samurai with the yellow flag was already in front of him. He swept across with a single shot. The fatal attack took effect in the killing mode, killing two people instantly.
"Let's go!"
He stretched out his hand to pull up Kamojigo, who wanted to pull out the flag, and Kamojigo said eagerly.
"The imperial palace! The imperial flag, the imperial flag hasn't been taken back yet!"
"The enemy is surrounding us! Move quickly!"
There were more and more Ji warriors with yellow flags pointing at them. Yiyin did not dare to delay any longer, so he forcibly pulled her onto his horse, turned and rushed out again.
