Chapter 70: It's hard to get the whole thing

With the chaos caused by the cavalry team under the command of Sasaki Nagahide, Tsukahara Nagakei and Akita Ieji's army stabilized their positions on the verge of collapse, and even the low morale was reinvigorated by Sasaki Nagahide's appearance. After all, the prestige of the Hellwar Ghost has been widely known in the Kanto region in the Battle of Black Dragon River, and with such a fierce general to help, what else is there to be afraid of?

After Kasahara Yasukatsu saw the reversal of the battle, his brows furrowed slightly, which meant that it would take him longer to defeat the enemy in front of him, but how long could the physical strength of the Hojo Army last?

On the other side, the Hojo Tsunataka Army, which was in the midst of a fierce battle with the Toki Legion and the Flat Legion, was also attacked by the cavalry led by Sasaki Nagahide, forcing Hojo Tsunataka to dispatch Akabi's cavalry to expel Sasaki Nagahide. For the Red Reserve, which only had 500 cavalry and the rest were infantry, Sasaki Nagahide thought for a moment and decided to lead his army to fight against it. After all, Sasaki Nagahide commanded twice as many cavalry teams as Akabei, and most of the horseback samurai were skilled martial artists, and the gap between them and the Hojo Army was not large, and Sasaki Nagahide himself was also one of the best generals in the world, so he was naturally not afraid of the Akabei cavalry team with only five hundred.

But it wasn't until the two sides took over that Sasaki Nagahide realized that the situation was wrong. Although his own side far surpassed the other party in numbers, the Red Reserve Cavalry under the command of Hojo Tsunaka cooperated with each other very tacitly, but he was quite a bit of a commander of the cavalry under his command, so that the numerical advantage could not be brought into play at all, like a plate of scattered sand, only one charge was scattered by the Red Reserve Cavalry, and they had to fight separately.

Sensing his own decline, Sasaki Nagahide's eyes were torn apart, this thousand-strong cavalry team was the only highly mobile force under Tsukahara Moryu, in order to save the decline when the two wings were in danger, and once they were trapped here, the entire trend of the battle could be changed because of this. Thinking of this, Sasaki Nagahide brandished the "Flame Spear for Six Days", desperately trying to fight his way out of the Hojo Tsunataka Army. In order to save the crisis of Sasaki Nagahide's cavalry, Toki and Heiji also increased the intensity of their attacks, and both of them personally went out to fight on the front line, which greatly boosted the morale of the two major legions, and the Ashigaru samurai all fought forward.

Because the most elite cavalry team in the Akabei was sent to deal with Sasaki Nagahide's cavalry, and some troops were allocated to besiege and kill, the frontal forces were somewhat weak, and under the decisive battle between Toki and Heiji, the battle line of the Hojo Army suddenly became precarious. The unfavorable situation in the frontal battle forced Hojo Tsunataka to transfer back a force, which gave Sasaki Nagahide a chance to breathe. He single-handedly slaughtered left and right in the Hojo Army, rushing to almost wherever there were many people, and always rescued a few besieged samurai.

Hojo Tsunataka looked at Sasaki Nagahide, who was like no one, and shook his horsewhip fiercely, urging the Red Reserve Cavalry to continue to attack, but how could Sasaki Nagahide, who had suffered a big loss, be willing to hit the plan again, just steady, although he still lost his troops, but he was robbed of nearly 800 horsemen by Sasaki Nagahide.

Looking at the soldiers who were covered in bruises and blood, and even their faces were covered with blood, Sasaki Nagahide blamed himself for a while, if it weren't for his lack of ability to command the cavalry, he would definitely not have such a fiasco. You know, these are not a bowl of rice that can be recruited with a little money, these are all samurai, they are all elite samurai, even if one dies, it is an irreparable loss. But in just such a short time, more than 200 people were lost......

"I, what face do I have to meet Mo Long?" Sasaki Nagahide looked up to the sky and sighed, looked at the Hojo Tsunataka Army in front of him, and shouted, "Everyone!! Let's die here!!! With that, he rode into the dust and rushed into the Hojo army again. The samurai who escaped death were not good people, and after suffering heavy casualties, they also held their breath in their hearts, seeing that the commanders were determined to fight to the death, they also shouted angrily at the moment, and reflexively killed into the Hojo army.

Sasaki Nagahide has the heart to die, so naturally he will not leave any room for it. The two warriors of the Red Reserve Cavalry did not expect Sasaki Nagahide to come back, and they were caught off guard at the moment, and they were actually pierced by Sasaki Nagahide's shot. Sasaki Nagahide, who killed the red eye, didn't even owe the effort to pull out the gun, and directly threw the "six days of the fire gun", and the two corpses were suddenly overwhelmed by a piece of ashigaru, and just when the smashed ashigaru struggled to get up, the sky seemed to darken. A few ashigaru looked up, but they were so frightened that they saw Sasaki Nagahide leap his war horse and stepped down fiercely......

Tsukahara Moryū, who was in command of the Chinese army, looked at Sasaki Nagahide, who had already killed him, and shook his head imperceptibly, "Hojo Tsunataka is a famous general in the world, and this kind of fighting style can't help him in a short period of time, but it is easy to fall into his encirclement." Pass the order, beat the drums, and the whole army will attack! "Although the strength of the Hojo Army has not been completely exhausted at this moment, if it waits any longer, I am afraid that Sasaki Nagahide will lose his life, so Tsukahara Molong decided to attack in advance.

With the sound of majestic drums, the 7,000 army, which had not participated in the battle, began to move towards the front army. They used to be just ordinary swordsmen who practiced in the dojo, and they used to be just farmers who worked hard in the fields, but when Tsukahara Molong raised his army, they gathered under the small bow city, and fought the Black Dragon River with Tsukahara Molong, and defeated an enemy twice their size in one go. At this moment, they will launch a final offensive against the exhausted Hojo Army.

After realizing Tsukahara Molong's plan, the Hojo family generals breathed a sigh of relief, if it was a little later, the Hojo family would completely lose the ability to resist, but now, there is still the strength to fight!

Hojo Shiyasu looked at the army of Zhou Dashuai, who was supported by the main force of Tsukahara Molong, and launched a more ferocious offensive than the next, and his face turned pale. The battle situation did not develop according to his expectations, this Ming man named Zhou Dashuai, was able to support the onslaught of his 8,000 main force under the inferior forces, which made the Hojo Army lose its spirit, and I am afraid that it will also be a big enemy in the future. If Sasaki Nagahide, Zhou Dashuai and Tsukahara Molong really grow up, Kanto, I'm afraid there will be no place for the Hojo family to gain a foothold.

However, the Hojo clan Yasuno was a decisive hero, and in view of the unfavorable situation on the battlefield, he did not order to fight to the death, but ordered all units to cover each other and retreat alternately. And the three armies behind the palace are Hojo Tsunataka Akabi, Kasahara Yasukatsu's Shiraki and Hojo Clanyasu's direct Odawara people. With these three elite palaces, especially the forces of Odawara, there are as many as 2,400 people, although the 24,000 troops under the command of Tsukahara Molong fought to the death, it was still difficult to cross the thunder pond. The Hojo Army, which still had some remaining strength, quickly broke away from the battlefield and began to retreat.

Seeing that the battle situation had been decided, Tsukahara Moryū shook his head and gave the order to withdraw his troops.
