Hojo Tsunari watched the armored cavalry slowly increase their speed, and the Hojo reserve team around him began to stir.
The Wu family had never seen this kind of men, horses, plate armor and heavy cavalry armed to the teeth, and the half-peasant, half-soldier reserve team simply did not have the courage to face such a natural enemy. Fortunately, she still has Huang Bei.
Hojo Tsunari arrived to take command and shouted.
"Raise your gun! Arrange your formation!"
The Ji warriors carrying yellow flags took a step forward, raised three and a half anti-cavalry super long spears, inserted the tails of the spears into the ground at a 45-degree angle, and half-knelt to hold the spears with both arms.
The Ji warrior behind them placed another super-long gun on their shoulders. He held the gun under his arm and locked it with both hands, lowering his waist to prepare for the impact.
These Huang Bei followed Hojo Tsunagi in south and north battles. Their martial arts and courage were all excellent, and they were the most elite members of the Hojo family.
Now facing the armored cavalry, although his heart trembled, he still had the energy to face them on the battlefield, which was far beyond the ordinary reserve team.
———
Seeing Huang Bei set up the formation, the corners of Dao Shengmeng's mouth slightly raised under the mask, she stood at the forefront of the cavalry and waved.
The cavalry behind him used her as a front and began to accelerate. The two wings are behind, the arrow is in front, and the formation is formed. However, Dao Shengmeng, who is on the cutting edge, seems to be going astray.
Under her deliberate guidance, the cavalry did not walk in a straight line, but in an arc sloping toward the north, avoiding the front of Huang Bei's gun array.
It's just that the cavalry kept accelerating from far to near, and the infantry didn't react for a while. By the time Hojo Tsunari realized something was wrong and called for a change of formation, the cavalry had already rushed in front of them.
The samurai's reserve team is not a professional soldier. When faced with an unexpected situation, some of the mixed troops of the Ashigaru Hime Samurai were stunned on the spot, while others turned their guns around. In an instant, conflicts arose and the formation was disrupted.
At this moment, Shima Shengmeng led his team and rushed in from the enemy's reserve at an angle. Most of the enemy's spears were still facing the front.
A whole row of armored cavalry were medieval tanks weighing more than 400 kilograms. The malnourished ashigaru in the front row were instantly knocked away. The fear of a sudden car accident caused the ashigaru to flee in all directions.
Huang Bei's array was attacked by the escaping Ashigaru, and he reluctantly walked backwards holding three and a half super long spears, trying to attack the armored cavalry.
But Shima Shengmeng didn't give them any chance. He used his horse speed to attack in depth and ran rampant in the formation.
The cavalry in the front row don't care about killing the enemy, they just want to keep their horse speed and break up the opponent's array. The horseback samurai used his spear to calmly pierce the enemy samurai in the chaotic formation, driving the ashigaru who had a mental breakdown back to his side.
———
Hojo Tsunari looked at the chaos in front of her with a livid face. The armored cavalry was more terrifying than she imagined. This cavalry commander was very cunning and used an oblique charge to destroy the entire flank.
She glanced at the Hojo Ujimasa Honbu who was crossing the river behind her, and knew that she must not get out of the way at this time. If these wolf-like and tiger-like cavalry were allowed to rush to the shore, they would be able to drive out the defeated troops, trample them, and drown countless people.
Hojo Tsunari shouted.
"Raise my flag and follow me into battle! Blow the law and let all Huang Bei come closer to me and kill the enemy!"
———
Hojo Tsunari gave up the flank battlefield, gathered all Huang Bei, and firmly protected the back of Hojo Ushimasa's formation who was crossing the river.
Shima Katsu glanced at the battlefield, turned his horse's head, and led his cavalry to break through in the direction of Shiba Yiyin's flag.
The armored cavalry crossed all the way from the flank of the Hojo Central Army, completely disrupting the enemy's formation at the front. Countless ashigaru suffered mental breakdowns and turned back to escape.
Yiyin had already seen the armored cavalry rushing into the formation, but he didn't expect Dao Shengmeng to come so quickly. At this time, the two sides joined forces, and he shouted and asked.
"Shimahime, you came so fast!"
Dao Shengmeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Yiyin was fine. She opened her face armor and stared at the dirty hands of Kamojigo wrapped around her master's waist.
As if being stabbed by a sharp blade, Kamao quickly let go of his hand, jumped off his horse, and rode with Ii Naomasa.
Dao Shengmeng saw her recognition, and then respectfully answered Yiyin's question.
"The envoy from the Imperial Palace sent an order to the northern front, telling you and His Highness Uesugi to break into the enemy's position. Lord Yamanaka and I were deeply shocked and decided that I would break through the enemy's position on the northern front and come directly to support."
When Yiyin heard that she was rushing over directly, he immediately said anxiously.
"What about the Northern Line? What about the Northern Line?"
Shima Shengmeng said.
"Before I came, I had broken through the enemy lines on the northern front, and Mr. Yamanaka took over and continued to advance. Please believe in Mr. Yamanaka's ability. There will be no problems on the northern front."
Yiyin smiled bitterly and shook his head. Dao Shengmeng's words were somewhat mocking. He just didn't trust Yamanaka Yukimori's ability, but he couldn't blame Shima Katsuki and Yamanaka Yukimori for changing their tactics.
When the general is out, military orders are not obeyed. When they were trapped in the enemy's position, they split up to rescue themselves. This was also a sign of loyalty within their scope of command and was not suitable for harsh criticism.
Yoshihiro sighed. At this point, matters on the northern front could no longer be taken care of. It was better to defeat the Hojo Central Army first.
He said solemnly.
"Shimahime, lead the team forward and cooperate with me to cut down Hojo Tsunari's flag.
The Hojo frontline military force is now in confusion. As long as the Dihuang Hachiman flag falls to the ground, it will inevitably collapse. "
"Hi!"
Yoshigami looked back at Uesugi Teruhora and said.
"Your Highness Uesugi, I will send someone to escort you back to the Uesugi Army. Please ensure that they advance with all their strength.
This battle has been won, but the strategic goal of annihilating the Hojo army has not yet been achieved. The battle is not over yet, so we must not slack off. "
Teruhora Uesugi knew what Yoshigan was implying, and she was afraid that those in the Uesugi Central Army would fall behind again, so she nodded and assured.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qianxin, with me in charge, these people will not dare to disobey."
"Then please."
Yoshigage didn't waste any time after saying that. He separated ten cavalry from the Shima Katsu fierce army to protect Uesugi Teruhora, and then led his fellow soldiers to rush towards the yellow flag of the eight flags in the Hojo army with the cavalry.
———
Yukimori Yamanaka, who was secretly worried by Yoshigan, had already reached the bank of the Akiyama River and watched his reserve troops drive the Hojo army into the river with great ferocity.
Although the water in the river during the dry season was no more than ankle-deep, the defeated troops tripped over talc in the water and were severely trampled on by deserters, drowning and trampling countless people to death. The scene was horrific.
"Lord Yamanaka!"
Yamanaka Yukimori looked back and saw Sanada Nobunaga holding a rope in his hand. On the other side of the rope, a Hime Samurai's hands were tied behind her back, half dragging and half pushing her over.
"Oh, Sanada-hime, you have made a great contribution this time."
Yamanaka Yukimori's expression was complicated. The outstanding Yamano Princess warrior had made a big contribution today. Thinking of her coveting the imperial office, Yamanaka Yukimori felt uncomfortable and even a little sick.
Sanada Nobushige didn't care how Yamanaka Yumori responded. She pushed the tied Hime Samurai down in front of Yamanaka Yumori. The man struggled to get up, but was kicked in the knee by her, causing him to kneel down in pain.
"Master Yamanaka, look who I caught?"
Yukimori Yamazaka stared at this girl. Although she was in a miserable state, she had a luxurious body and an extraordinary temperament.
While she was guessing, Umino Riichi followed up and threw the horse seal and family crest flag in front of her.
Yamanaka Yukimori's pupils shrank.
"The Hojo family's fake Kanto general?"
