Chapter 96 Raid
When Kiyozuna Akao led the team to join the battle line, the gradually shaken Asai army stabilized again.

Under the tacit understanding of Masahiro Isono and Kiyozuna Akao, the right side of the formation began to move back slowly, gradually turning the straight line into a diagonal line.

After fighting for a whole morning, Yoshihide Rokkaku, who did not see the inferiority of the Asai Army, in order to strengthen the suppressing force, he pulled out several reserve teams from the main formation to supplement the front line.

Something was wrong, Kamo Hyun-hide keenly sensed something, and issued an early warning to Shinto Hyun-seong in the second team.

At this time, Asai Nagamasa launched a surprise attack while the Hexagon Army had not responded.

She led the regiment of direct ministers under her command and its army to attack Liujiao Yixian's main formation.

The armies on both sides were [-] and [-]. Excluding the rear guarding the heavy battalion and the peasants and soldiers who were grouped together, the total number of troops capable of attacking and defending was only more than [-].

Asai Nagamasa launched a desperate raid with the most loyal direct ministers.The number of people is only a thousand, but like a tiger descending a mountain, they are inserted obliquely between the second formation and the main formation of the Liujiao Army through the angle of the diagonal line.

The soldiers and horses of the second formation of the Liujia Army were already feeling exhausted. Facing the rejuvenated Asai Nagamasa, they couldn't resist, and gave way to the shogunate of Liujia Yixian's main formation.

When the armies join forces, the general will be more stable than the central army.Its main formation is surrounded by white curtains, and it is commanded from the town.The Mayin army flag is served by flag guards. This is the shogunate in the army, which is regarded as the heart of the army.

After thousands of years of development in samurai combat, a system of ten thousand stones and one reserve team of peasant soldiers, ashigaru, and Ji samurai has been formed.

The soldiers came from the direct vassal group, the retainer group, the people of the country and other controlled samurai families with different blood and loyalty, plus the miscellaneous soldiers who hired wild samurai from the evil party, it was even more chaotic.

The poor and scattered enfeoffment system in the samurai society led to the fragmentation of resources, making it difficult to form an elite force group.

The complex and fragile system of allegiance makes all parties in the military irrelevant, and loyalty is all tied to the prestige of the general.

Once the formation is captured, all the advantages in front will be lost, and they will retreat in defeat.

In the final analysis, the peasants, soldiers and ashigaru lacked subjective will and organizational awareness, and did not know why they were fighting.

Warrior Ji has a complex composition. The countrymen, retainers, and mercenaries have their own ghosts, and they rarely have the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

Therefore, most joint battles are ugly wars of attrition.Do not seek meritorious service, but seek no faults.Some examples of turning defeat into victory are mostly related to the success of raiding the main formation.

Asai Nagamasa took the huge risk of abandoning his own main formation, but was also forced into a corner by the Hexagonal Army.

To defend is to die, to retreat is to die, it is better to just smash the jar and see who gets rid of the first.

Yoshihide Rokkaku never expected that the young Asai Nagamasa would be so decisive that he was disrupted by the surprise attack.

But Xianxiu Gamo discovered in time, and Xiansheng Shinto's quick response after receiving the news also had an effect at this time.

The advancing Asai Nagazhengbu was outflanked by the rear hexagonal second formation. If the front could not quickly open up the situation, her army would collapse due to front and rear attacks.

The most loyal direct ministers are not made of steel.People are weak, people's hearts cannot withstand tests, and morale cannot withstand blows.

But at this point, she can only cheer up and command the army to keep advancing, advancing, advancing.

Behind the Liujiao main formation, in the forest surrounded by small hills behind Mt. Zuohe, Yiyin and his party were watching the battlefield closely.

Along the way is the team led by Akechi Mitsusu.I don't know when she explored the terrain, but I turned left and right on the road and soon arrived at the battlefield.

Until he ran to the back of Liujiao Yixian's main formation, there was still a small forest covering him, which made Yiyin admire him greatly.

"It's almost time for us to attack."

Yoshigin looked at Mitsuhide Akechi and said.

She shook her head.

"It's a little early to attack now. When Nagamasa Asai attracts some strength from the main formation, the defense behind will be weaker."

"Wait a little longer, Asai Nagamasa's old foundation is about to die. The direct minister group is the foundation of the family governor, so let the Asai family be at peace."

Seeing that Akechi Mitsuhide did not insist any longer, Yoshihiro said to Maeda Yoshitsugu and Otani Yoshitsugu behind him.

"Let's go, let Liujiao Yixian taste the fate of provoking us."

Ji warriors declared their promise loudly and got on their horses one after another.Just as Yi Yin was about to get on his horse, he thought about it and said to Ming Zhi Guangxiu.

"In this battle, every time you make an idea, I reject it. Don't you blame me? You are much smarter than me, but there are some things I really can't help."

Akechi Mitsuhide was also taken aback, he didn't expect Yiyin to say such a sentence, and smiled sweetly.

"No wonder, I am very happy."

Such a lord who upholds righteousness is really likable to death.

Seeing her so happy, Yiyin couldn't help muttering.

I have been rejected every time I make suggestions, but I can still be so happy, I don't understand.

In front of the cavalry are all war horses, nineteen of them.Followed by forty rough horses, all the horses of Fujido and Mekata's army are here.

Only fought a battle this morning, and traveled all the way here again.The ragged horse behind was already shaking with trembling legs and sweating profusely.

Seeing that after this charge, most of them will die suddenly.The rest can't live for a few days, Yi Yin couldn't help but tell Gao Hu, the daughter of Fujido Toraka who followed him.

"These poor horses are the main force in farming in your village, right? This loss will probably make your mother feel distressed to death."

Gao Hu laughed out loud.

"That's right. That miser eats rice balls on weekdays and swallows them one by one. He stops immediately when he feels a little full, for fear of eating more food and wasting food."

Yiyin smiled.

"You arranged your mother like this, so you're not afraid of being put on little shoes when you go back to the village?"

"I'm not going back, I want to follow you, this battle was fought too well."

Yiyin looked back at her.

"Don't go back and let your mother say a good marriage? Will she let you go?"

Gao Hu was so handsome that he shook his hands.

"Anyway, there is an older sister at home, so it's okay for my second daughter to run away. Just let my older sister give birth to a few more, hahaha."

This girl is open-minded, and Yiyin was overjoyed by what she said, thinking about it, it's not suitable to talk at this time.

He nodded to Otani Kichitsu who was holding the flag, and rode his horse forward.

At this moment, Asai Nagamasa was almost desperate.The vigorous army was blocked by layers of enemy troops, breaking through one team and another team.

The vigor gradually declined under the piling up of human lives, and the enemy troops behind them also formed a flanking situation.

Liujiao Yixian sat firmly in the shogunate, commanding the defenses in the rear to fill forward one by one, with the military fan in his hand proudly.

Asai Nagamasa committed suicide, everything is under control.

Behind the formation, Ji Wushi who was on standby scolded Ashgaru, who was about to fall asleep, and looked at the surrounding scenery boredly.

Suddenly, a cavalry army sprang out from the woods on the mountain over there, all of them were knights on horseback, galloping forward under a banner.

"Enemy attack!"

Harsh screams came and went, and the observers counted the number of cavalry with trembling hands and lips.Five seven, five eight, five nine, a full fifty-nine rides.

She was deeply frightened, slurring her speech, shouting incoherently.

"Wujiu, Wujiu, the opposite Wujiu has come down from the mountain!"
