The pikemen in the front row, kneeling on one knee, raised the spear in his hand and aimed it at the Xinfa Tian army.

[Poof! 】

[Poof! 】

The cavalry and the Uesugi army's spear array, or something similar to a phalanx, collided violently.

[sigh-law-law-law-]

Many of the horses that were running at high speed were pierced by spears, and they let out a scream, and blood splattered all over the ground.

Some of the Xinfatian cavalry, who had no time to dodge, were directly pierced by spears; Some fell to the ground and were trampled to death by the horses behind them.

There were also some cavalrymen who were lucky enough to escape for their lives, but they were stabbed to death by the Uesugi soldiers behind them with two-meter spears.

In just a split second, more than fifty Xinfatian cavalry were killed. And the phalanx of the Uesugi army did not move at all.

Five hundred Xinfa Tian cavalry, plus those pierced war horses.

Their corpses, in front of the phalanx of the Uesugi army, were piled up into a hill. Blocked the pace of the Xinfa Tian cavalry behind and charged.

Some of the Xinfatian cavalry, before they had time to turn their horses' heads, crashed into these corpses, and the people turned on their backs.

The Xinfa Tian Shigejia, who was riding a horse and supervising the battle, must be glad that he did not rush to the front recklessly just now, otherwise he would be dead now.

[Hmph! Unexpectedly use this trick, if it goes on like this for less than a while, I'm afraid the spear won't be able to hold it, once it breaks, Ashigaru will have no support at all, and then see what else you can do! 】

Having said that, after he calmed down and scolded all the relatives in Kawada's family hundreds of times, he turned his head and saw that his soldiers had suffered such heavy losses. Immediately, his eyes were red.

Cavalry differs from Ashigaru in that it is not only trained for a longer period of time. And the manpower and material resources required are also high, for every cavalry killed. It means that his money investment over the years has been in vain.

[Everyone! Circumambulation, circumambulation, do not storm the phalanx! Attack the enemy's flanks! 】

In fact, there is no need for him to say it, this bloody situation also made the Xinfatian cavalry completely frightened. Although they are also extremely fierce, but if they continue to play so desperately, they will suffer after all, the last one. Die one, when will this be a stop?

Hearing the general's order, knowing that there was no need to rush forward head-on, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied.

The Xinfatian cavalry, who was already in some turmoil, turned their horses one after another when they heard the general's shout. They bypassed the front of the Uesugi army and wanted to attack the phalanx from the flank.

Seeing the movement of the Shinbata Army, Kawada Naga shouted loudly:

[Iron Gunner! Archer! Prepare -- kill !! 】

In fact, he was also relieved in his heart--although the pikemen behaved very powerfully. But if this fight continues, after a while, the wooden spears will break one after another because they cannot withstand the impact of the cavalry, and their own military formation will definitely collapse at that time.

Sergeant Uesugi who heard the order. They all began to pick up the guys in their hands and began to shoot the enemy.

The current Xinfatian cavalry is not far from them. Plus the soldiers of the Uesugi Army. Most of them are skilled in marksmanship.

For a time, there was a lot of gunfire. There are constantly Xinfatian cavalry who fall off their horses, and there are not a few who are shot. Those who were not shot were also shot into hedgehogs by the bows and arrows of the Uesugi army, and lay on the ground wailing.

There's no way around it, if you can't shoot at such a close distance, you're basically going to die!

The Shinbata cavalry, surrounding the left and right of the Uesugi army, ran back and forth several times, trying to find the enemy's flank.

But when they saw the hedgehog-like phalanx, they suddenly had no intention of continuing to attack.

It's like a person running around a villa for a long time, and finally discovering the cup -- who built this villa? Not even a door!

[Master! The enemy has no flanks! 】

[What?! 】

For a moment, Shigeya Xinfa Tian wondered if he had heard it wrong.

[The enemy's formation is very close to the formation of other reserves, and if we try to break through, we are likely to be attacked by other reserves.] 】

【……】

Hearing him say this, Shigeya Xinfa raised his head and carefully looked at the enemy's military formation, his face became more and more embarrassed, and something in his memory began to surface.

[This...... Could it be ...... Is this a car hangover?! 】

When he was young, he followed Uesugi Kenshin out of the formation of Kawanakajima, and he had seen this powerful formation, even Takeda Shingen, who was known as the first in the world of military strategy, had no problem with this.

In this environment, the car suspension array, which has not been used for many years, has been taken out again!

Kenshin Uesugi, is it your heroic spirit who is blessing the Uesugi family?!

The person of the Xinfa Tian Shigejia has always been unruly, and he has hardly served anyone in his life, even Date Masamune, who he is now taking refuge in, has been scolded countless times by him in his heart.

Why do you say "almost"?

Because there is one person who makes the Shibata Shigeya feel powerless to parry, and he feels awe from the bottom of his heart, that is Uesugi Kenshin, this person not only has excellent military strategy, but also has a compassionate heart like a god and Buddha, every time he stands next to him, he makes the Shibata Shigeya feel a [high aura] oppression.

Thinking of the man who once brought great deterrence to himself, the Xinfa Tian Shigejia felt a void in his heart, but seeing one subordinate after another fall off the horse, this former tiger general of the Uesugi family, finally shook his head and threw away all thoughts, since he has been on this road, there will never be a day of turning back, whether it is moral or not, this battle, he must win!

He shouted angrily:

[Don't panic, everyone, the enemy has iron cannons and bows and arrows, and we also have them...... The whole army listens to the order and fights back! Shoot the enemy! 】

is really worthy of a famous general, at this critical juncture, there can still be such a decision.

The remaining officers and soldiers of Xinfatian came back to their senses when they heard the shouts of the general.

They are not the most elite soldiers though. But after all, it can be regarded as a battle-hardened, and the more it is in this unstable environment. The more you have to stay calm.

The enemy on the opposite side, a year ago. is still their comrades-in-arms, therefore, if you compare them, their archery skills and spear skills will not be bad at all.

While the Shinbata cavalry was dodging, the iron cannons and bows fired by the Uesugi army; While bending bows and arrows on horseback, and not riding a horse, Ashigaru also came with bows and arrows and iron cannons, and they had the same goal. Shoot at the Uesugi Army's position.

After shooting half a pillar of incense, the 1,500 Xinfatian cavalry, plus the people who fell off their horses at the beginning, have lost nearly 1,000 people, and the main force of the battle has become one of the few ashigaru. And whether it was cavalry or ashigaru, the bullets they brought were also consumed.

On the other hand, the Uesugi soldiers who formed a phalanx did not move. Still unhurriedly shooting at the Xinfa Tian Army.

The reason for this result is that from the beginning to the end, the Uesugi army attacked in array and in an orderly manner. However, the Xinfa Tian army didn't even have time to open up the formation -- there was no way, the enemy was on the opposite side, and it was so close. Do they give you a chance to line up?

The weakness of the car suspension array is that it cannot adapt to long-range combat, and its advantages. However, in the case of close range, it can burst out with the greatest power.

In the year in Kawanakajima. The car that killed the incomparably elite Takeda Akabei to the point of collapse was hanging in the array, could it be that the little Shinbata Shigejia could resist?

The remaining Xinfatian cavalry finally began to chill at this time. Everyone's face showed a look of fear.

It's not terrible to die in battle, it's your opponent who is terrible, and it's not an opponent that you can defeat on your side at all.

There will be defeat, there will be defeat, each and every one of us will be defeated!

Without long-range attack weapons, the Shinbata cavalry either retreated now, or regardless of casualties, attacked the phalanx formed by the Uesugi army.

Other than that, there is only one last way left, and that is to retreat.

However, can it really be returned?

Xinfa Tian Shigejia was sweating profusely, and his heart was full of strenuous activities.

Withdraw? Where to retreat?

Back to Wuhai?

Not to mention whether Date Masamune will forgive himself for the sin of defeat and retreat, even if he forgives himself, he will not look down on himself again in the future, and the territory of 100,000 koku in eastern Echigo, including Shinbata Castle, that he promised him before, will also become a flower in the moon mirror in the water.

Back to Shinbata? That's even more unlikely!

Leaving the battlefield without permission, this is no different from betrayal, let alone Uesugi Keiho, I'm afraid Date Masamune won't let him go!

Therefore, there is only one way in front of you, and that is to move forward! Advance!

He yelled and shouted:

[Everyone! We can't afford to lose, once the enemy enters Xinfa Tian Castle, they will rob us of our belongings, kill our families, and spoil our wives and sisters...... Now we have no way out. For the sake of your family and hometown, the warriors of Xinfa Tiancheng, charge with me! 】

After finishing speaking, Shigeya Shinbata took the lead and rushed to the position of the Uesugi army, knowing that he had shown his fearlessness before he came to mobilize all the officers and soldiers, and it was useless to shout some false slogans in the back.

The rest of the Xinfatian cavalry, infected by the general, launched a charge without fear of death.

They are also Echigo, but they just betrayed their own lord, and the dispute between the lord and the Date family is just a conflict of interests, once the Date family retreats, the lord will deal with his own side, and because of his traitor status, the lord will never let him go.

[Kill! 】

Wielding the weapon in his hand, Shigeya Shinbata charged forward on his warhorse. I have to say that this person's riding skills and martial arts are very good.

There are many iron gunners and archers of the Uesugi army, and they all take special care of this person, once they kill the enemy's general, but it is a great achievement, money and status, everything will be there!

However, Shigeya Shinbata didn't know what was going on, and his luck was a little surprising, and along the way, he was always able to dodge the guns and keep approaching the phalanx of the Uesugi army.

Seeing that the Xinfa Tian cavalry were all charging fearlessly, Kawada Changqin still shouted with a blank face:

[Iron Gunners stop shooting!] I'm going to kill this dog thief myself! (To be continued......)
