On the battlefield.
Originally, the situation of the entire Kyogoku family's formations was not optimistic, and it could be said that they were on the verge of collapse. However, with the sudden entry of Kyogoku Takamasa and his cavalry team, the Asakura family was caught off guard.
Previously, Asakura Sotechi believed that the Kyogoku family's reinforcements would be stopped by Mabara Keitada, so no one in the Asakura family paid attention to what was behind them.
Kyogoku Takamasa suddenly rushed in, like a tiger rushing into a flock of sheep.
Kyogoku Takamasa took the lead, followed closely by hundreds of cavalry. Kyogoku Takamasa, Baba Nobuharu and others waved their spears and sabers, and with the speed of their horses sprinting, they felt like they were in an uninhabited land. A bloody storm broke out as soon as they raised their swords and dropped them.
The cavalry assaulting the infantry formation was simply a massacre without large-scale equipment of firearms.
"The enemy will die!"
Kyogoku Takamasa was riding on a horse and had already locked onto an Asakura family samurai wearing bright black armor, and rushed over as soon as he lifted the horse's belly. Although there were several fierce and fearless warriors around the Asakura family who came to stop them, they were directly knocked away by the war horses. Then, following Kyogoku Takamasa's shout, the warrior had already become a hero before he could react. The soul of the dead under the sword.
This situation was constantly happening on the entire battlefield at this moment. Kyogoku Takamasa and others quickly killed the Yamazaki Yoshie team.
"Where is the Uesaka Minbubu?"
"Has anyone seen Uesaka Minbu?"
After passing through the Asakura family's military formation and seeing that most of the ashigaru around him were members of the same family, Kyogoku Takamasa reined in his horse. However, after glancing around, Kyogoku Takamasa did not find Uesaka Munanobu and others, so he couldn't help asking eagerly.
"Come in Sakyou, I'm here!"
Hearing Kyogoku Takamasa's call, Uesaka Munanobu, who was already covered in blood in the crowd, stood up with the help of several people nearby and raised the sword in his hand to indicate.
Kyogoku Takamasa quickly dismounted his horse and hurried to Uesaka Munanobu's side. After carefully observing Uesaka Munanobu's injuries, he asked with concern, "Minbu, are you okay?"
Uesaka Munanobu gritted his teeth and asked a side officer to bandage a bleeding wound on his right arm, then endured the pain and said, "Don't worry, Sakyo, I won't die for a while!"
"The Ministry of Civil Affairs will rest for a while, and then we will lead the charge!" Seeing that Uesaka Munenobu seemed to be fine, Kyogoku Takamasa breathed a sigh of relief.
I have known Uesaka Munanobu for several years, and the two have a very good personal relationship. It can be said that except for several samurai with minor surnames such as Akao Kiyosuna and Mitsui Toraoka, Uesaka Munanobu of the entire Kyogoku family is considered to be the best friend with Kyogoku Takamasa.
Unexpectedly, Uesaka Munanobu was unhappy when he heard Kyogi Takamasa's words. He immediately frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Does Sakyo Susumu think that I, Uesaka Munanobu, am just a boy from the village?"
"What's the point of minor injuries?"
"Let's see what happens to my Uesaka Civil Service..." Before he finished speaking, Uesaka Munanobu suddenly felt his eyes go dark and fainted on the ground.
Kyogoku Takamasa was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to check. He was slightly relieved after seeing that Uesaka Munanobu had just fainted.
"You guys will take the upper class people down and take good care of them!"
"Ha!" Several people nearby nodded in agreement.
After confirming Uesaka Munanobu's safety, Kyogoku Takamasa felt completely relieved. He stood up and glanced around the battlefield and frowned.
Although he succeeded in stopping the decline by fighting in time, the situation on the battlefield at this time was not optimistic for the Kyogoku family. The main reason is that the Asakura family has too many people, and they have already surrounded the Kyogoku family.
After experiencing a bloody battle, the morale of the Kyogoku family was already very low. Although it had recovered slightly at this time, it was of no help to the entire war situation.
Kyogoku Takamasa looked around carefully, thinking about countermeasures in his heart.
"My lord, Mino Mamoru has led the cavalry in!" At this time, Hatayama Asanobu, who was following Kyogoku Takamasa, suddenly said.
As Hatayama looked in the direction that Nobu pointed, he saw that Nobuharu Baba had led the cavalry to the center of the Asakura family's military formation.
Although Kyogoku Takamasa can ride a horse, he is actually not good at horse fighting. Therefore, after successfully entering the formation, Kyogoku Takamasa left the cavalry team and handed over the command of the cavalry team to Nobuharu Baba.
He is well aware of how much he weighs and how high-ranking the government is. Such professional matters should be left to professionals. As a layman, he should not give random orders. As the leading general of the Takeda family in history, Baba Nobharu was very reassuring to Kyogoku Takamasa.
"Mino Mamoru has his own opinion. Uchizo and others quickly command the surrounding ashigaru to launch a counterattack. Follow the cavalry team and we will fight towards the Asakura family's main formation together!" Kyogoku Takamasa pointed to a place in the distance. The looming flag on the mountain said.
In fact, Kyogoku Takamasa knew very well that the Kyogoku family had already lost this battle. It's not that there were many casualties, but that the morale of the soldiers had been exhausted.
At this time, even if Kyogoku Takamasa can lead the remaining troops to retreat, these troops, most of which are composed of peasant soldiers, will definitely no longer have any fighting power. It would be okay if they were facing an ordinary wealthy nation, but at this time the Kyogoku family's opponent was the Asakura family, the overlord of Hokuriku, and the enemy's general was Sotechi Asakura, known as the God of War. So it is easy to retreat at this time, but it is almost impossible to withstand the next attack of the Asakura family.
Kyogoku Takamasa urgently needs to rekindle the morale of the Ashigaru people, so there is only one way before Kyogoku Takamasa - kill!
"kill!"
No matter what Kyogoku Takamasa thought, Baba Nobuharu had already rushed over with the cavalry team.
What an elite cavalry needs is this "arrogant" and indomitable momentum. Even if the enemy in front is ten times larger than itself, it still has the courage to charge towards the opponent. This is half the victory.
Although the Asakura family has strong military strength, its military force is also mainly composed of farmers and soldiers.
In the eyes of these Asakura peasants and soldiers, Baba Nobharu and others were like more than a hundred Shinigami in black uniforms, exuding fear and killing.
The powerful momentum of the Kyogoku family's horse team shocked the entire audience, and some timid peasant soldiers were even preparing to escape.
"I will lead the charge!"
"I will follow you to the death!"
During the charge, Nobuharu Baba suddenly raised his arms and shouted, and immediately he responded to his call. The more than a hundred warriors in the cavalry team all had red eyes and rushed forward without fear of death. Some of the horses were so fast that they were almost crossing the racecourse Nobuharu.
Is Nobuharu Baba a man who has fallen behind others? Immediately, he accelerated and moved a few positions away from his subordinates behind him. At this time, the Asakura family's troops were already close at hand!
"Children of the Asakura family, all those who are not afraid of death can come!"
Baba Nobuharu raised the lance in his hand high, and under the sunlight, it looked extremely dazzling...
At this moment, he is the most handsome boy on this street!
