Under Cheng Zheng's order, the squad of 8 Rose Knights immediately turned around and killed them back.
-- They had penetrated too far into the enemy's ranks, and if they didn't take advantage of this momentum to return to Ashigaru's protective circle, they would probably all die here like Kohata Akabei's cavalry.
The Rose Knight is a standing cavalry built by Sasa Chengzheng with a lot of money, but he can't fight all his money in this battle.
Like an agile viper, the Rose Knight bit off Takeda Akabi's "head" - Iitomi Torama with lightning speed, and immediately retracted back into the nest, which made Takeda Akabi go crazy with anger, and even more made Iitomi Masakai and the Ashigaru people of Iitomi go crazy with anger.
But anger alone doesn't help.
Isn't Kohata Chibei even angrier than they are?
After withdrawing back to the Ashigaru formation with the Rose Knight and Kohata Akabi, Sasa Narumasa breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately had people gallop back and forth in the formation with a spear carrying Iitomi Toramasa's head.
"Rice rich Huchang was taken by our army!"
"Rice rich Huchang was taken by our army!"
………… The roar of victory resounded throughout the left flank of the coalition in an instant.
Then with Echigo Ashigaru on the head, Nagano Yosmori and Saito Asanobu commanded the left flank of the coalition army to all bet, and in one breath, the Takeda army was forced back by more than a dozen steps.
Without any more orders, the Ueno coalition fought what they did best.
However...... Is this a tailwind battle, and is the Takeda army defeated?
The Hao clan did not have a clear understanding of this, they simply felt that since the enemy army was a general, it should soon collapse.
When Yoshinobu Takeda of the Chinese army heard the news of the death of Iitomi Toramasa in battle, he angrily threw Caifu to the ground.
"The Chinese army, except for the escort team, is all on board to support the left flank!"
After walking around the picker on the ground twice, he angrily issued this order, but what is puzzling is that the most needy rescue at this moment is undoubtedly the right-wing Iitomi Changjing Army...... I wonder why Yoshinobu Takeda ignored the right wing and put the whole army on the left wing, which already had a slight advantage?
No one knows what Takeda Yoshinobu thinks, if Iitomi Huchang is here, maybe he can guess eight or nine without leaving ten, but Huchang has already died on the battlefield.
After all the Chinese armaments were drawn up, and only his own escort was left by his side, Takeda Yoshinobu finally howled and cried.
At this time, the rear army commanded by Naito Masatoyo had just completed the merger with Iitomi Masakai, and after joining this new force, the decline of the right flank of the Takeda Army was finally temporarily stopped.
But even the combined corps of Iitomi Masakai and Naito Masatomi were only 4,000 people, and they were still inferior in terms of strength......
"Lord Naito, the command of the legion will be handed over to you!"
Iitomi handed over the ration to Naito Masato, who had arrived, but he turned his horse's head around and came to the angry Takeda Akabei.
"I know...... I can't replace Lord Iitomi in the military department, but I can't avenge my lord just blindly charging! ”
Although he was short in stature, he spoke with a very loud voice.
"Forgive me for trespassing...... Please take my command for the time being! For the sake of the rich soldiers, my lord! ”
"For Iitomi-sama!"
The soldiers of the Red Reserve reluctantly retreated to the formation and regrouped under the command of Iitomi Masakakei, only to lose a lot of their men when their formation was disrupted by the Echigo cavalry and Kohata Akabei.
The reason why they chose to obey Iitomi Masakai without a leader was not because of Masaki's talent, but because Masaki was the younger brother of the late commander of the Red Reserve Brigade, Iitomi Torama.
Iitomi Masakakei, who was also well aware of this, did not have any arrogance, and he gathered all the mounted samurai of the right flank army and the rear army, and quietly came to the edge of the battlefield with the Red Reserve.
Masatoyo Naito is known for his steadiness, and Masakei has reason to believe that under Naito's defense, the right-wing army has no possibility of collapse, which is a tacit understanding between him and Naito Masatoyo...... However, no matter how good Naito is at defense, he can only be invincible.
The key to victory lies in the horseback team!
As the Rose Knight and Kohata Akabi retreated behind Echigo Ashigaru, Iitomi Masakai and the samurai on horseback behind him were like a wounded tiger, suppressing its pain and anger, quietly waiting for the moment to defeat the enemy with a single blow.
He didn't wait for this moment before the Takeda Army ushered in the dawn of victory.
After betting on the full strength of the Chinese army, the left flank of the Takeda army became extremely thick, and under their continuous onslaught, the right flank of the coalition led by Hidetsuna Ueizumi finally could not support it and began to retreat!
Zhujiao Tiger must have just led his troops in pursuit, and a samurai on horseback who ran from the Chinese army brought Takeda Yoshinobu's order:
"Regardless of the casualties, be sure to drive them to the coalition forces!"
The order from Yoshinobu was unusually harsh, which made the veteran Zhujiao Huding snort dissatisfiedly:
"Before he came out of his mother's womb, the old man was already a famous general on the battlefield, how to fight, he didn't need to teach him!"
He arrogantly summoned his own team as the lead and began to drive away the retreating coalition forces.
He breathed a sigh of relief and ran back to deliver the message.
On the side of the coalition forces, even if Hidetsuna Kamiizumi has the best martial arts in the world, he can't save the defeat in the battle.
Although the troops under the command of him and his disciples still have the strength to fight, they cannot directly break into the enemy formation with great force like Sasa Narimasa on the left flank, and take the enemy generals.
What's more, if the teammates retreat first, what can they do?
In desperation, Hidetsuna Kamizumi led the disciples of the dojo to break off in person, but the pursuit of the veteran Zhujiao Huding made him a little confused.
The tiger will leave their hard bones alone, separate the army to bypass their palace troops, and directly pursue the Ueno coalition army that fled in a hurry!
The reason why the coalition army is a coalition army is because its rabble nature is difficult to change, and although Hidetsuna Kamiizumi is fierce, he cannot take care of the entire right flank.
Under the attack of the Tigers of Zhujiao, the right flank of the coalition army finally turned from retreating to fleeing, and even the wealthy families themselves could not restrain their forces.
Wolves rush!
Nagano was still relentlessly attacking the front army of Nobuharu Baba, and the veteran was so anxious that his beard was about to fall off, and he was about to charge in person, when he suddenly saw the friendly forces on the right flank rout towards the Chinese army.
"Cimata!"
He screamed badly, knowing that there was no way to recover the decline.
Once the formation is attacked by the rout of the right flank, it is likely to cause confusion...... When the two armies are at war, if you are in chaos, it is tantamount to annihilation.
"Immediately go and inform Lord Kamizumi and ask him to guard the mountain pass behind him and guide the retreating army! If someone is undisciplined and tramples on it, they can be executed on the spot! ”
"Hay!"
It was only a blink of an eye, and Nagano Yemasa called another one.
"Hurry up and inform Zozo-sama and ask him to prepare to retreat!"
"Hay!"
Then, the veteran looked back at his own troops behind him, who were not yet in chaos, and his heart was mixed.
When he received the news that the left wing had sought Iifu Huchang, he thought that the battle was about to be won.
However, he was wrong - the ruthless Yoshinobu Takeda immediately told him that the rabble will always be a rabble.
But even as a rabble, he must not abandon his comrades and partners, and he cannot leave the Ueno clan behind and flee back to Minowa Castle, just as he cannot turn his back on the lord Uesugi Kenmasa and surrender to the Hojo clan.
In life, if you really should uphold your own righteousness, you can have no regrets!
"Our army will win! Charge the whole army! ”
He took the lead and led the Chinese army to launch a general offensive.
