Ping Changzheng raised his hand and rubbed his forehead a few times, and said to Kato Yan: "The Tang army's infantry is advancing to the south, pressing step by step, we have no way to retreat, Ben will personally go into battle, and the shogunate attendants will follow!"

When Kato Yan heard Taira Nagamasa's words, he was immediately anxious and said, "Nagamasa...... Your Excellency!"

Before Kato finished speaking, Ping Nagamasa had already galloped out. Kato Yan had no choice but to follow with his shogunate attendants.

"Boom! Boom!"

Under the order of Song Wenbai, after the Tang army's big drum was beaten, the sound of vigorous horns filled the entire battlefield.

Where the two armies were face to face, more than a dozen infantry military formations were slowly advancing in unison!

The archers and crossbowmen on both sides kept shooting the arrows in their hands, and there were occasional riots in the phalanx of the Tang army, and the screams were heard vividly from two hundred paces away. However, the Tang army's foot soldiers did not stop at all, and the phalanx group was neither fast nor slow, and pressed towards the Japanese army on the opposite side in a neat queue.

The cavalry of the Tang army also gradually approached the Japanese army line, and divided into several groups to attack the flank of the Japanese army. The phalanx on the side of the Japanese army set up ten-character guns to defend against the enemy, and the swaying queues everywhere showed the panic of the Japanese soldiers.

Song Wenbai heard the shouts in front of him, which shook the earth. When the hand-to-hand combat is fought, people shout especially loudly!

The battlefield soon became chaotic, and the cavalry turned in a roundabout way, staggered and staggered, like a whirlpool in a sea of people. The infantry in front of them swung their swords and spears, and the arrows were mixed in between, and they tumbled violently like boiling water.

On the north bank of the water, the Japanese army of Ping Changzheng was in formation. The Tang army took the initiative to attack, and the battle had become very fierce.

On the lush plains, there are black corpses everywhere. The dust drifting in the air, under the light of the firelight, was so desolate that it seemed to be a sky full of paper money, and the whimpering horn was like a tragic mourning!

The horse's hooves stamped on the ground, splashing large patches of mud. On the battlefield, horses neighed and people were buzzing.

In the ironclad weapons of Rulin, the bowstrings rang out in unison, and the arrows filled the sky. The banner of the general of the Japanese army fluttered heavily, and many arrows had not yet fallen on it.

At this time, Kato Yan's face was covered with cold sweat, and he shouted loudly to the Ashigaru generals around him, "You must rescue Your Excellency Nagamasa, otherwise we will all be finished!"

In the vast infantry formation of the Tang army, I saw that the banner of Ping Changzheng was constantly changing direction, and people and horses were clashing everywhere inside, but they couldn't break through the Tang army's array!

Ping Chang Masato personally led the shogunate attendants, first attacked the right flank of Song Wenbai's department, but failed to break the formation; Rushing back to the center, it suddenly broke through. However, the infantry of the Tang army in the depths stood still, and the cavalry of the Pingchang Political Department could not continue to break through, and the gap behind was quickly blocked. new

As a result, the current crisis has been created, and the Pingchang Political Department is in the Tang Army's infantry formation, and it is under siege!

The sun was slanting to the west, the light was dim, and the sky was filled with smoke and dust, which affected the line of sight, and the generals of the Japanese army who were still outside the large array such as Kato Yan could barely see the situation clearly, and it was obvious that the situation of Taira Nagamasa was very dangerous.

"Papapa......" A Japanese army formation attacked the center of the Tang army, and the archers and arrows in the formation drew their bows and released arrows one after another, and the arrows flew like raindrops.

The shield in front of the Tang army's infantry was full of arrow feathers, and occasionally there was a scream, someone fell, and the soldiers behind came up unhurriedly, filled the vacancy, and withstood the position. The heavy infantry of the Tang Army in the night, like a statue, neatly moved.

As soon as the Japanese archers and warriors finished shooting two rounds of arrows, they saw an overwhelming array of arrows shot out of the Tang army.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The sound of the bow and crossbow strings shook the ears of the Tang army's foot soldiers.

"Ah! Ahh

Suddenly, many of the Japanese soldiers fell to the ground screaming, screaming and struggling in pain.

"Kill!"

Kato Yan opened his mouth and roared, and the sword in his hand swung forward.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

A group of elite warriors who had been organized by the Japanese army shouted loudly and rushed straight from the front, almost clinging to the Japanese army formation next to them.

They gradually increased their speed from their trot, faster and faster, and the forward warriors rushed straight in front of the Tang army like arrows off the string. Kato Yan is in the back

Shouted, "Break through the enemy line! Desperately rescue His Excellency Changzheng!"

In an instant, there was a commotion on the battle array, the soldiers of the two armies screamed in unison, and the elite warriors of the Japanese army who were rushing did not stop for a moment, and rushed directly to the countless spears between the shields, and blood was splashed everywhere.

A warrior slammed down on the wooden shield, crushing the Tang sergeant underneath. Before he died, the samurai put the sword in his hand through the gap in the shield and smashed it into the soldier's body. The soldier screamed in a heart-rending voice, and immediately spurted a mouthful of blood from his mouth, and his eyes almost bulged.

Where the two armies were engaged, the corpses of men had been piled up, and shouts were everywhere.

Seeing this, Kato Yan was dripping blood in his heart, the cost of raising an elite samurai, not to mention more than a dozen or twenty ashigaru? Fighting so hard, he really felt that he had lost all his blood.

However, if Taira Nagamasa is unfortunately killed, it will be useless. Now is not the time to care about whether you lose money or not!

Kato Yan stepped forward with a sword, took the lead, fought bloodily with elite samurai, and after paying great casualties, he finally tore a bloody hole in the Tang army array. Although the Tang army's array was killed in the middle, the arrays on the left and right were still standing.

At this time, Ping Changzheng finally took advantage of Kato Yan's rush to kill and attack from both sides, opening a narrow gap. Taira Nagamasa was the first to rush outside, and the shogunate attendants who followed behind rushed in one after another.

"Rub! Collapse!"

The sound of marching in unison was hidden in the sound of killing, and the Tang army infantry soldiers actually lined up to run and bully them, and in the Tang army formation on both sides, the sound of bowstrings sounded one after another. The shogunate attendants in the array were hit by countless arrows and constantly damaged. After a large number of casualties, the besieged cavalry finally rushed out!

Kato Yan answered the Ministry of Dohei Nagamasa and hurriedly led them to the south. When Kato Yan looked back in the chaos, the Tang army's infantry was advancing, and in the sound of the staggered grand footsteps, the shouts were simply swallowing mountains and rivers.

"Your Excellency!"

Suddenly, one of the shogunate's attendants knelt on the ground, raised his head in sweat and shouted, "Your Excellency Nagamasa!"

When Kato Yan heard the shout, his heart was shocked, and the shogunate attendants moved out of the way to both sides, and countless people looked at the middle with heavy expressions.

Ping Changzheng's war horse stood there quietly, and on it sat Ping Changzheng, who was dressed in gorgeous armor, at this time his whole body was full of arrow feathers, and the blood was dripping all over his body, and the broken iron armor was full of holes broken by spears and rifles. Ping Changzheng's eyes were motionless, and his body was swaying slightly with the war horse.

There was a heavy "bang", and the shogunate attendants knelt beside their horses, and the atmosphere was tragic and heavy.

Seeing this, Kato's eyes were sour.

As the son of the Fujiwara family, the heir of the Taira clan, and the most loyal general of the Seiyi general, Fujiwara Hidetada, he died in battle on the north bank of the water.
