Sanada Masayuki in the Shogunate of Rain Akihei's main camp has been closely watching the changes in the situation on the battlefield. When he noticed that there was smoke and dust rising near the opponent's main formation, he immediately reported it to Yu Qiuping.

"Your Highness," Sanada Masayuki pointed to Oda Nobuyiyo's main formation a few hundred meters away, "There is a good chance that the enemy's cavalry will move!" ”

"Is that so?" Yu Qiuping frowned, and looked along Sanada Masayuki's arm, it was indeed in the direction of the formation that it seemed that there was going to be a move. "What are they going to do?" Yu Qiuping muttered to himself puzzled.

"Forget it! No matter what they're going to do! Preparedness is always a must-have! Yu Qiuping immediately ordered, "It was reported that the bow and arrow platoon of the central front immediately entered standby, and the infantry platoon retreated to the rear of the bow and arrow platoon!" Send the Iron Gunners to the Bow Platoon! The archers in the left and right flank ranks stopped firing, disengaged, returned to standby, and waited for my orders! After receiving the order, Honda Tadakatsu and Ryuko personally rode away to deliver the order.

"The cavalry platoon, also immediately get on the horse and get ready!" Yu Qiuping ordered to Cave Mountain Shinshi again.

"Your Highness! Please allow the next army to line up in the open space behind the main formation! Xueshan Xinshi asked Yu Qiuping for his life, "Cavalry attack, the most important thing is speed!" If the acceleration distance is not enough to pull up the speed of the horse, it will not be able to cope with the opponent's cavalry at all! ”

"Okay! Go ahead! With a wave of Yu Qiuping's big hand, the cavalry in this formation immediately left behind the formation.

Just after Yu Qiuping issued a series of preparation orders, Oda Nobukiyo's main formation rushed out of nearly 80 cavalry! They lined up in a relatively loose formation, and actually rushed straight from the center of the battlefield, on the plain between the two wings, straight towards Yu Qiuping's main formation!

"I'll go! It's so fierce! After Yu Qiuping was taken aback, he immediately began to deploy defense. Because these hundreds of meters are only a matter of moments for the cavalry!

"Herald! The archers on the left flank turn to the right, and the archers on the right flank turn to the left! Facing the center! Get ready to shoot the rushing cavalry from the flanks! ”

"Bow platoon and iron gunners in front of this formation! Get ready to shoot your enemies in no time! After one round of firing is completed, quickly retreat behind the infantry platoon behind them! "All orders were issued at a rapid pace, and the standard-bearers waved their flags frantically and quickly in order to pass on the orders before the enemy cavalry arrived!

Kuroda Kasuke was a member of the Inuyama Oda clan and a samurai of Oda Nobukiyo's banner. Loyal to the Inuyama Oda family for generations, he has always been the first to charge on the battlefield – and this time is no exception. They understood the danger of the battle situation, and understood that if they could not completely defeat Yuqiuping here, the main family would face the danger of being destroyed. Therefore, he rode his horse into battle with a resolute mentality, determined to swear his loyalty to the Lord with his life, and to thank the Lord for his kindness for generations—the honor of every samurai.

The current opportunity cannot be said to be good, because Yu Qiuping still has hundreds of troops and a cavalry in his own formation, but they have no choice. The leading Commander of the Stables made it clear - rush over! Before Yu Qiuping's two wings reacted, rush into Yu Qiuping's main formation! Then bypass the thin pikemen, rush directly into Yu Qiuping's main formation, and fight with him to the death!

Under the leadership of the commander, the horses and horses rushed towards the main formation of Yuqiuping in the west. Everyone lined up in a loose formation, shouting and drawing their katanas at their waists, and slapping the horses' buttocks frantically with their scabbards to speed up the horses.

As the sound of horses' hooves grew like rain, and as the scene in front of him flew faster and faster to both sides, Kuroda could feel his speed getting faster and faster, and the wind on his face almost made him dare not open his mouth.

100 zhang, 80 zhang, 50 zhang, 40 zhang... It's getting closer! On the back of a galloping horse, it's just a matter of an eye!

However, just as their cavalry had begun to adjust their formation and prepare to divert from the flanks, a puff of gunpowder smoke suddenly rose in front of them. Immediately after, a violent roar sounded ahead!

"That's an iron cannon shooting!" Kuroda Kasuke immediately judged the opponent's weapon in the electric light, and immediately had a countermeasure in his heart. "Rush! Rush over! Kill them before they retreat! ”

However, in the next moment, the screams of men and horses and the violent collision sounded in his ears! The projectiles fired from the cannon hit the hapless riders or their seated horses. Kuroda Kasuke turned his head blankly and saw his companions who were charging side by side with him, as well as several people and horses, and even tripped the two cavalrymen behind him.

Almost at the same moment, the horse on which he was seated was also startled by the roar, and throbbed violently uneasily, almost throwing him off his horse. This accident forced him to slow down his horse a little, and his companions around him also slowed down a little.

Just as the riders adjusted, the loose strings of the bow and arrows followed by the roar of the iron cannon! From the front, the feathered arrows fired simultaneously from the left and the right swooped down on the rider in the center like locusts. Although many of the arrows fired from the side failed to hit the galloping cavalry, there were some feathered arrows that were expected to hit the rider or horse. And the feathered arrows fired from the front brought huge casualties to the cavalry who told the galloping. Many of the horsemen and cavalrymen fell to the ground on their backs, embarrassed.

Kuroda Kasuke had almost brushed shoulders with death just now - two feathered arrows flew almost past his ears! However, after retrieving a life, he immediately returned to combat form. The moment the smoke cleared, the scene in front of him made him realize a God-given opportunity! Archers and gunners are hurrying back from the gap left by the pikemen! Although they are really fast, they are very well formed! But those pikemen had no chance of forming a dense queue again when the cavalry rushed in front of them! After all, a distance of 30 zhang is just a matter of time for cavalry!

"Just shout and go straight to the enemy line! This force will be crushed in no time! He made this judgment in the short breath after the volley of iron cannons and bows and arrows! And without hesitation, it is another clamp on the belly of the horse, maintaining the speed to the maximum!

However, as he scurried out more than a dozen meters, almost a second passed, and the Commander still didn't make any sound. Kuroda Kasuke looked back at the Commander's position in surprise - only to find that he was no longer there!

Kuroda Kasuke panicked and tried to twist his head to the limit, but he couldn't find the leader anyway - could it be that he had already died in the volley just now!

However, in the few moments he hesitated, the opportunity to charge the battle had already been missed. He could see from the afterglow that all the horses and riders were going around the sides of the phalanx as planned! Kuroda Kasuke was heartbroken, but he had no choice but to follow the large army to ride around! As he passed by the sides of the phalanx, he also tried to swing his knife and slash the pikemen on the flanks, but he had to give up because of the distance.

However, just as he was about to look back, there was the same sound of horses' hooves like raindrops in front of him!

Kuroda Kasuke hurriedly turned his head and his pupils contracted suddenly! The two Yuqiu cavalry with red leaves on their helmets were riding their horses from the rear of the formation towards their position! The expected raid on the main formation must not be turned into a cavalry hedge! And their cavalry team, due to the interference of the shooting just now, has changed its formation, and the formation is relatively loose at this moment, showing a long strip. And the cavalry rushing from the other side is far thicker than them! If they meet now, one of the Inuyama Oda cavalry may have to face two or three Yuqiu cavalry riding horses at the same time!

The bad situation made many of the stables waver, and they slightly reduced their movement speed to adjust the direction, trying to ride their horses to avoid the impact of the Yuqiu cavalry. However, with such high speeds, these adjustments were a drop in the bucket, and their vacillation only left determined riders like Kuroda in a more dangerous situation. Although the cavalry of the Yuqiu family has never been known for being good at fighting, and most of them are infantry with no experience in horseback combat, but at this moment, there are more people and fewer people, and the cavalry team of the Inuyama Oda family was killed by nearly ten people in one face - none of them escaped.

The remaining dozens of cavalry teams that followed up after that, seeing that the battle situation in front was unfavorable, and their lineup was slender and elongated, they knew that they were invincible. Many people rushed forward with the mentality of martyrdom, and many more immediately turned their horses and fled to the side. Relying on the sacrifice of friendly troops, more than 30 cavalry still escaped from Ascension and fled in the distance.

Yu Qiuping did not exhaustively pursue, and after using an ambush with bows and arrows and iron cannons to defeat Oda Nobukiyo's last battle, he immediately turned to a counterattack after defending all morning! The infantry platoon and cavalry in the center followed the same path that Oda Nobukiyo's cavalry had come from, and rushed straight to his main formation! Oda Nobukiyo, who no longer had any reserves on hand, hurriedly called up the Ashigaru platoon, which had been prepared to ambush Yuakihei, in an attempt to defend the main formation, which led to confusion on both flanks.

Oda Nobukiyo knew in his heart that there was no chance of victory in this battle, so he had to abandon his own camp and order the entire army to withdraw. The cavalry that had fled back to their camp was reassigned by him to cover the retreat of the troops. However, these mortally injured cavalry were no match for the Yuqiu cavalry at the moment, and with the help of Tokiwa Beishikyu, Oda Nobukiyo's horses were finally powerless to resist after being slashed and killed one after another. Inuyama Castle was pursued by Yu Qiuping, and Oda Nobukiyo abandoned his armor all the way and fled back to Inuyama Castle.

In this battle, 32 people were killed and 77 were wounded. Oda Nobukiyo, on the other hand, suffered heavy losses, with 129 men killed in battle, nearly 200 captured and wounded in the process of retreating. The remaining remnants retreated into Inuyama Castle and were surrounded by Akihei and the Oda family reinforcements who arrived later.
