Just after the encounter in Isaguma ended with a small victory for the Hojo army, Yasukatsu Kasahara immediately led 1,600 troops to join up with Hojo Tsunari's brigade. He directly ordered his troops not to take the head of a samurai of the Uesugi Army.

At this moment, Hojo Tsusunari is also struggling with whether to invest the main force first or the military strength of the Takashiro family and the original family first? Even if the two wealthy clans who always supported the Hojo family were sent out first, how much could they achieve? This is indeed the key, and after Hojo Tsunari's thoughts, he decided to set off with the Yellow Reserve Army under his command or the White Reserve Army under Kasahara Yasukatsu. Since it is necessary to fight, it is necessary to let the standing army that can fight relatively well, after all, when the overall combat strength is uneven, Hojo Tsusunari still has nearly 4,000 five-color standing army strength.

"Sun Jiulang Palace, the cavalry of the Uesugi Army is indeed difficult. It is no wonder that the Tamu Zhou Defense (Tamu Motozhong) Hall and the Tsunataka Hall were defeated and killed in the battle with the Uesugi army, and their combat power was not lower than that of the five colors of the main family. "Kasahara Yasukatsu is now also facing the Uesugi army, and he has to say that if he has such a group of cavalry, he can really sweep the entire Kanto!

"Yes, but I must defeat the Uesugi army today. You see, there are quite a lot of 'Bi' flags and flag fingers in the array, which shows that the main hall of Echigo has been set up by him. "Hojo Tsusunari has to say that among the tens of thousands of Uesugi troops, at least thousands are Echigo troops.

"Helplessly, the lord has ordered us to defeat the Uesugi army." Speaking of this, Kasahara Yasukatsu had to shake his head: "However, the lord didn't know that everything Uesugi Kenkatsu said at that time was a false report!" ”

"Yes or no, we must defeat them, even if we pay a big price, we will drive the Uesugi family out of Kanto again!" Hojo Tsunaru instantly ignited his fighting spirit, and even Kasahara Yasukatsu didn't know what to say.

"Brother, no matter what, please be sober at all times." Fukushima Katsuhiro (Hojo Tsunari's brother), who was looking at the six-scale array from the side, said this to Hojo Tsusunari and continued to look at the six-scale array, he wanted to see some flaws.

"I understand······" Hojo Tsusunari also knew that as long as the war dragged on, then the pressure on Hojo Clan Yasu would be even greater. Regardless of victory or defeat here, the result is no longer important to the Hojo family, and the most important thing for the Hojo family is the retainers, not the conscription of ashigaru and peasant soldiers. And the five-color reserve army also needs to preserve some strength, otherwise what will they use to fight with Takeda Shingen?

"Then please give the order, sir!" Yasukatsu Kasahara took the lead in setting an example, he had long wanted the opportunity to lead his reserve team to engage the enemy army, and he would give up such a good opportunity today?

"Then please give the order, sir!"

"Then give the order!"

Subsequently, Takashiro Yinchen and Hara Yinei also began to echo, and they knew very well that they must do their best to help the Hojo family in this joint battle, otherwise it would be difficult to escape the post-war liquidation of the Uesugi family. Even if the Uesugi family doesn't punish them directly, they will let the Satomi family who is nested on the Boso Peninsula go to liquidate. Satomi Yoshiyao and Satomi Yoshihiro father and son are holding back the fire in their stomachs, especially now that the Hojo family has been entangled by Takeda and Uesugi, they can also take the opportunity to restore some of their forces and territories in the Kamiso region.

However, Hojo Tsunari's younger brother Katsuhiro Fukushima does not have the same enthusiasm and fighting spirit as others, he only hopes that the Fukushima family can survive in the hands of his brother or himself. The Fukushima family, which had previously belonged to the Imagawa family, was almost completely lost after the failed attack on the Kai and Takeda clans and the ensuing 'Hanakura Rebellion'. Even Hojo Tsunari, he fled to the Hojo family's territory under the escort of the only remaining retainers. In the end, Hojo Tsunari recognized Hojo as Chang's father, and changed the seedling of 'Hojo'.

"Everyone listens!" Hojo Tsusunari calmed down his emotions and prepared to issue an order to the various ministries: "Kasawara-sama, your ministry is the first to serve, no problem, right?" ”

"No problem, the Uesugi family's important combat force, the 'Kawagoe Knights', has already lost more than a hundred people, and our department can break through this formation!" Although Kasahara Yasukatsu didn't understand the six-scale formation, he still knew some other formations (such as the fish scale formation, the goose-shaped formation, the sharp arrow formation, etc.), and at most he just rushed left and right. If you're lucky, you might be able to break the formation!

"Since Kasawara Echizen Mamoru (Echizen Mamoru is his father's self-proclaimed, and later Kasahara Yasukatsu calls himself Notomori) has the heart to break the enemy, then please!" Hojo Tsusunari also did not reject Kasahara Yasukatsu's request, although the Hojo clan was in Odawara Castle to assist the Hojo clan as the real general of Shirabi, but the real general of Hakubi in the army was Kasahara Yasukatsu, and it was Kasahara Yasukatsu who went around in place of the Hojo clan. Although according to their rank and rank, the Hojo clan is the uncle of the Hojo clan, but after all, the Ise clan is an outsider, and many wealthy clans do not trust and are loyal to them, so they can only let one important minister hold various important positions. It is not easy for Yasukatsu Kasahara to get mixed up with the acting general Shirabi. Unless he is an old man and a heavy minister like Tamu Mototada and Tominaga Naokatsu, he can only be an agent and a force for the rest of his life.

"I can't be more grateful!" Kasahara Yasukatsu is very eager to become an army of his own after making military achievements at this moment, and he is also controlled by the Hojo clan.

Kasahara Yasukatsu is not a mediocre person, although the southeast army formation and the southwest army formation are both direct ministers under the command of the court, he is not ready to fight hard. Soon, Yasukatsu Kasahara found a breakthrough - Nagao Keishinobu of the western military formation.

Although on the surface, the troops under the command of the Asadachi were all Uesugi troops, but the flags of the Echigo army were all 'Bi' flags, which was very obvious. What's more, can the Hojo family, who has been at war with the Uesugi family all year round, know each other? Even if the Hojo Army didn't know the character of the enemy, everyone knew that if it wasn't for the Bamboo and Sparrow Banner, it wouldn't be the Uesugi Army. Yasukatsu Kasahara took 260 samurai on horseback as the first hand, and he immediately led the remaining 1,300 ashigaru to follow quickly. And a samurai on horseback next to Yasukatsu Kasahara also held high a large flag with four big characters on it - "Hakubi Kasawara".

Just as Kasahara Yasukatsu's troops were about to approach Nagao Keishin's military formation, what awaited them was the bow of the foot that lined up behind the spear.

"Shoot the arrows!" Nagao Keishun saw that the horseback samurai of the Hojo Army were less than 40 paces away from the outer gun, and immediately gave the order to attack.

Soon, due to the inertia of the horses and the softness of the ground, the samurai on horseback made a sudden stop and the military horse under his crotch fell into the earth. Many of the Hojo Army's horseback warriors did not react at all, and were immediately shot in place.

With the arrows released in row after row of bows and ashigaru divided into two teams, by the time Yasukatsu Kasahara and Ashigaru arrived, there were only 200 samurai on horseback who were the pioneers. Kasahara Yasukatsu did not make any stops, and directly led the army to fight between the western and southwestern military formations. Kasahara also understood that it was impossible for a samurai on horseback to jump into the Uesugi army, and that the complete quality, speed, and physical strength of the Hojo family's Tokaido-bred horses were no match for the Uesugi army, which had always used Michinoku horses or Hokuriku horses.

Nagao Keishun stopped the bowshiks after three rounds of volleys, knowing that he couldn't ruin the battle for his own selfish gains. Yasukatsu Kasahara also took the opportunity to enter with a large group of people

Within the six-scale array, they were only eighty steps away from the circle where Chao Ding was.

Hojo Tsusunari watched the white reserve army that was entering the Six Scales Formation one after another, and immediately ordered Takajo Yinyoshi to lead his 1,500 troops to separate from the army, and their task was to fight against Kasahara Yasukatsu in the south of the Six Scales Formation. And the place where Gao Cheng Yinji rushed into was unfortunately the aisle between the southwest army formation and the southeast army formation. The western military formation was guarded by Ota Shimasa, and the southeastern military formation was guarded by Kiyocho Igawa. The court used this method of separation to avoid the consequences of a rout due to excessive casualties, and it was also possible to familiarize the Echigo army with the way the large army fought. However, it could only be implemented in areas where the entire formation was close to the Hojo Army, such as the northern formation was Oishi Tsunamoto, the eastern formation was Yamamoto Temple Toutaga, the northwest formation was Hideharu Kano, and the northeast formation was Hosotani Shimichi.

"Wait until all of their nearly 4,000 troops have entered the formation, and then close the formation." Not long after Asadachi sat down to rest, the Hojo Army had already entered the battle. At this moment, he is going to show Hojo Tsusunari who will win and who will lose in the end when the Uesugi army faces each other for the first time with equal forces.

"Yes." Silidin was ready to beat the drums. For this joint battle, Chaoding specially ordered someone to build a large drum for giving orders in this joint battle.

"My lord, the two enemy forces have entered the formation!\" Sanada Masayuki looked at it and reported to the court behind him.

"The Hojo Army has already entered the army, and it is time to start." Chao Ding nodded, he was confident that the Hojo Army who was the first to enter the Six Scales Array could be completely annihilated, and as for whether he could really achieve total annihilation, it depended on whether Hojo Tsusunari would lead the army into the rescue.

"Yes!" Silidin immediately sounded the big drum, and after he first beat the four drums, he was quickly sealed at the entrance of the two armies of Kasahara Yasukatsu and Takajo Yinyoshi by the ashigaru holding long shields (wooden shields, which were of poor quality, but were built in large quantities for this joint battle) in each army's formation.

However, Kasahara Yasukatsu and Takashiro Yinyoshi, who had already met in the formation, did not take it seriously, they thought that as long as they could kill Uesugi Asada, they would be able to break the siege and leave safely.

But what they didn't expect was that the forces in the formation were getting closer and closer to the two of them. At first, they didn't take it to heart, but with the cooperation of the long shield soldiers and spear Ashigaru who came from behind, Ashigaru was the first to be attacked behind the forces of Kasahara Yasukatsu and Takajo Yinyoshi.

"Iron Artillery fire!" At this time, when Kasahara Yasukatsu and Takashiro Yinchen were preparing to counterattack the Ashigaru attacking them from the rear, Asadachi directly ordered the iron artillery Ashigaru under the command of Konishi Kiyoroku and Ikue Shuma to concentrate fire on the Hojo Army.

With the simultaneous fire of two hundred iron cannons, more than two dozen horseback warriors who were blocking in front of Kasahara Yasukatsu and Takashiro Yinyoshi were instantly killed, and even the mount under Takashiro Yinyoshi's crotch was also killed, causing Takashiro Yinyoshi to fall off his horse.

"Takashiro-sama, it's okay!" Yasukatsu Kasahara then asked the two samurai on horseback to dismount and pick up Takashiro Yinyoshi.

"It's okay, Uesugi Asada's main formation is there, it seems that we can ignore the Uesugi army behind us for now." Gao Cheng Yinji pointed to the high platform in the circle array.

"Well, come with me, everyone! Whoever kills the Uesugi Dynasty will be crowned the lord of a city and rewarded with 3,000 copper coins! "Kasahara Yasukatsu's call made both his subordinates and the Ashigaru of the Takashiro family excited, the lord of a castle is even more tempting than being promoted to a low-level samurai! This means that as long as they can get their hands on the head of Uesugi Dynasty, they can become important ministers in the family or can also become the lord of the castle who commands hundreds or thousands of troops! Can you not be excited about such conditions?

Needless to say, the Ashigaru of the Hojo Army rushed to the circle on their own. Behind them were thousands of Uesugi troops, but no one could take care of them.

Although most of the troops surrounding the circle were heavy infantry, there were also some Ashigaru who temporarily joined in with long shields. In addition, the Hojo Army, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, did not hesitate to use his body to knock the shield array open and enter. Although they were stabbed by the heavy infantry with a co-cha, the follow-up ashigaru came one after another. If it weren't for the fact that Asada's spear samurai and naginata samurai were sent to assist them, they would have really been defeated by the brutal methods of the Hojo Army.

"Keep attacking! You'll be able to rush into the enemy's home line in no time! Kasahara immediately ordered the samurai on horseback who were guarding him to assist the ashigaru. What is the difference between Hakubi Ashigaru and Takashiro Jiaashiu? That's the forehead! In the Hojo Army's five-color reserves, everyone in the black army has a black turban and forehead guard wrapped around their foreheads, and the same is true for white, yellow, green, and red guards. The Hojo family didn't have the 'Howe' like the Takeda family, and they couldn't paint the color of their armor like the Takeda Army. In comparison, cloth is much cheaper, so Hojo Tsunade chooses to use this way to distinguish the reserve team under his command.

With the addition of the white warriors, the heavy infantry struggled a little. The strength of the Bai Bei army is different from that of the Gao Cheng family, even if they have just fought an encounter, they can still be much stronger than the combat power of the Gao Cheng family's army.

"The Knights attack." Chao Ding found that if he continued to fall into a melee like this, his circle formation would be broken sooner or later, so he had no choice but to send the cavalry of the Heyue Knights first.

"Yes!" Saito Rizo immediately jumped down from the high platform, took the spear handed over from the white-robed samurai, and quickly got on his horse, "Lord Yamada, don't follow me to attack first, if you all follow me to attack, who will be responsible for the safety of the lord?" ”

"Understood." Originally, Yamada Naoji still wanted to bring the white robe Ashigaru to play, but after being told by Saito Risanichi, he felt that protecting the lord was the most important, so he stayed.

Saito Rizo led 350 cavalry of the Kawagoe Knights from the southeast into a circular formation, and then attacked to the southwest. The Hojo Army, Ashigaru, who was bent on breaking through the round formation, was caught off guard by the sudden cavalry of the Uesugi Army, and was instantly disrupted.

Just after the cavalry of the Kawagoe Knights joined the melee, Hojo Tsunari, who was outside the formation, naturally saw it clearly. He was unwilling to allow Yasukatsu Kasahara, and Kinyoshi Takajo to be annihilated in this way, and ordered his brother Katsuhiro Fukushima to lead an army of 1,000 with a small number of jade ropes to attack from the northwest of the Six Scales Array.

As soon as Oishi Tsunamoto saw the Hojo Army attacking, he did the same as Nagao Keishinobu before, first letting the bow foot light volley three rounds and then letting it enter the six-scale formation. After the Fukushima Katsuhiro team entered, the gate was closed. Hojo Tsunari's approach is tantamount to adding more pressure to the Asadachi and the difficulty of coordination within the formation, which makes the Asada see that Hojo Tsunari's ability is not simple.

At this moment, Hojo Tsunari's only remaining army strength was the 2,000 troops of the original Yinrong team and the 2,800 troops of the Jade Rope Guards under his command, for a total of 4,800 troops. This battle also made Hojo Tsunari clearly see the disparity in the mobilization of troops between the Uesugi family and the Hojo family.

However, not long after Fukushima Katsuhiro entered the formation, he was stopped by a row of long shield soldiers who suddenly appeared. Dozens of ashigaru armed with long shields severed the connection between Yasukatsu Kasahara, Ginyoshi Takashiro, and Katsuhiro Fukushima, and prevented them from converging.

Similarly, Oishi Tsunagen sent thousands of troops to attack the tail of Fukushima Katsuhiro, with the simple aim of annihilating or crushing this support force.

Takashiro Yinyoshi, who originally wanted to deal with Kasahara Yasukatsu, was converging with Kasakatsu Kasahara, but Katsuhiro Fukushima, who had just been ordered to merge with the two of them, was stopped, which made Hojo Tsunari's plan impossible to complete, and he couldn't predict what would happen later.
