Asai Nagamasa raised his head and glanced at the sun. The first attack had been going on for a long time, and the physical strength of both sides was declining.
The difference is that the second formation of the Hexagon Army is approaching the front line, but the Asai Army cannot replenish its troops.
Asai Nagamasa knew that his own strength was at a disadvantage. If he committed to the main formation too early, he would only consume all his strength and be defeated by the main formation of the Hexagon Army, which was waiting for work.
Therefore, she chose to be patient, leaving her own vanguard in front and struggling hard. If the two generals who were the vanguard were not both brave and dedicated men, she would not have dared to take such a big gamble.
Behind Sawayama Castle, Yoshigan rested under the banner of the Mekada Formation that had been cut off by profit.
After the enemy army was defeated, the cavalry did not pursue the defeated army as usual, but allowed them to escape and rest where they were.
Yoshigan's target was not these Mekada defeated troops, but Noragada's Rokkaku Yoshihide.
Seize the time to restore your physical strength and horsepower, and wait for Todo Toradaka and Akechi Mitsuhide to clean up the battlefield and come over to report.
"Shiba Gozen bravely defeated the three armies, and Todo Tora was convinced."
The first one to arrive was Toudo Totaka. If she had curried favor with Yoshigashi before to improve the chances of the family, now she was really conquered by Yoshigashi's brave charge.
War is not a game. The most difficult thing for people to do well is to kill people. Especially a group of people who are good at killing people know how difficult it is to kill people who are good at killing people.
Not everyone is equipped with a plug-in, and there is a chance of hacking someone to death. To kill a Ji warrior, you need to practice your killing skills for many years, and you also need luck on the battlefield.
How could he be like Yiyin, who single-handedly picked out four Ji warriors and killed the reserve general with one shot.
Todo Torago had been on the battlefield and was an expert at killing people in many battles. But he had never seen someone who could kill people so cleanly, and he was astonished for a moment.
Not just him, everyone who has seen Yoshiyin on the battlefield has nothing to say, with a capital word of submission. As the saying goes, a man wearing white clothes and fighting in a haori kills people like cutting chickens.
He didn't even wear a piece of kabuto, and just went into battle to kill people with a jinhaori set. He was still standing at the front, and even the Hime Samurai who looked down upon death could not be so single.
Some of Yiyin's behavioral patterns that have changed due to the cheats all appear to outsiders to be extremely confident and arrogant.
At this time, Akechi Mitsuhide also arrived, with several Ji warriors behind him helping to pull a group of horses.
"Your Majesty, all the horses of Mugatian's army have been gathered here. There are eight war horses and seventeen slave horses."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Akechi-hime. Todo-sama, can you give me some more Hime warriors?"
Yoshigami turned around and spoke to Todo Torakaka.
"Sir, are you going to attack the Hexagonal Formation?"
Yoshigami nodded and looked in the direction of Noragada.
Fujido Toraoka said.
"I'll pick some more good players, Mr. Shiba, please wait a moment."
Yiyin nodded.
"After we set off, you gather the reserve team and retreat to the valley road."
Todo Toragao looked at Yoshiyin in surprise, not understanding what he meant.
"In the battle just now, many members of the Teng Hall were killed and injured. I will take more than fifty of you Ji warriors to fight in the future. I don't know how many of them will come back. The members of the Teng Hall have sacrificed too much today, so please leave some seeds for your family."
After Yoshigami finished speaking, Todo Tora's eyes turned red. She turned her head and raised her shoulders without leaving a trace, pretending to move her muscles and bones, and secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Oqian, you are really a strange person."
Yiyin touched his face and smiled.
"Yeah?"
Tora Tora looked at him and said seriously.
"Yes, I have never seen a general like you in my life. I really regret that I met you so late. I wish you good luck in military affairs."
Todo Torakaka said that Yoshigage was embarrassed, smiled, and his eyes drifted into the distance.
"Go ahead."
Todo Tora walked away, and Yoshigami looked at his three women.
"I'm not sure about this attack. After all, it's a battle involving tens of thousands of people. We cavalry can't even make a splash when we rush in. If you regret it now, it's still too late."
Maeda gave him a blank look.
"My lord, from Owari to Omi, how often have we not fought side by side? Are you used to not having me here?"
Otani Yoshitsugi laughed.
"Your Majesty, I am your flag guard. If I am not here, who will defend the flag for you?"
Akechi Mitsuhide covered his mouth and snickered.
"My lord, I'm afraid that if I don't go, you will just rush into the formation. I still have to go and help you keep an eye on the situation."
Yiyin shrugged.
"I've said all the good things, but you don't listen. Then, let's go! Let's go and seek justice from Rokkaku Yixian."
Yiyin looked up at the sky. The sun was getting closer to noon. Yang Qi was at its strongest, which was suitable for killing people.
At noon, the leading formation of the Asai Army finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to retreat. They fought for a whole morning, and the iron man could no longer bear it.
The enemy's Kenhide Kamao also had to lament the tenacity of his opponent. After Kenmori Shindo's second formation joined, they were still unable to suppress the opponent. It was only then that they pushed the general's force past with the advantage of physical strength.
Momomo Naizosuke on Asai's side was unwilling to give in. He led his bodyguards in retrograde and rushed forward to the battle, slashing and killing two Ji warriors.
For a moment, she regained her disadvantage and reached a stalemate again, but she also exposed herself to danger.
Po Shengxianxiu calmly led the iron cannons of his team forward. In order to be safe, he only stopped when he was fifteen steps away, and six or seven iron cannons fired a salvo.
Not everyone is like Sibo Yiyin, who has external self-defense. When the iron cannon roared, the general was knocked off his horse and lost his life.
Isono Tamashida, who was behind, looked filled with grief and anger, but had no choice. She was at a disadvantage both in terms of physical strength and numbers. At this time, it was her limit to be able to stabilize the front without collapsing.
After Baibai Naizangsuke died, the Asai Army's advance position finally began to waver. The Hexagon Army took advantage of the situation and pressed in, making the situation precarious.
"Hundreds of help from within, killed in battle."
After receiving the report from the envoys ahead, Asai Nagamasa sadly said to Akao Kiyosuna.
"When Warrior Ji goes into battle, he has the consciousness of death. Your Highness expresses his condolences."
Akao Kiyosuna also felt bitter. They were both veteran members of the family, and their relationship was usually pretty good.
"Sama Akao said it well. The heat is almost over, it's our turn to go into battle and fight for our lives."
"Death for the Asai family!"
Akao Kiyosuna bowed to Asai Nagamasa.
"Although the situation is critical at this moment, the enemy's troops took the lead, and the second formation also joined the offensive. I have divided half of our main formation with you. Please support Isono-sama and firmly defend our main formation.
And I, with the other half of the army, will attack Rokkaku Yoshiken's main formation and defeat her."
Asai Nagamasa looked resolute. This battle was too difficult, and the gap between the number of soldiers and Hime Samurai was too big. Asai's army was struggling to hold on and wait for a chance.
Fortunately, the soldiers put their lives on the line, Masa Isono lived up to her trust, and Zangsuke Momounai even blocked the last wave with his life.
Now that the vigor of the Rokkaku Army's first and second formations has been broken up, after Akao Kiyosuna joins half of the Asai Army's main formation, Rokkaku Yoshihide will definitely separate his troops from the main formation and continue to increase troops and consume them.
What an amazing people! Those who engage in a war of attrition are dirty!
Relying on the fierce efforts of the Kitaomi samurai family, most of the Rokkaku army was attracted. Nagamasa Asai personally led half of the troops to make a desperate attack on Rokkaku Yoshihide's main camp.
