Chapter 635 41. Trump Cards Come Out One After Another to Determine Victory or Defeat

The war has been going on for three hours from the contact to the melee, and the hands have moved to 2:15 (noon).

The troops of both sides began to collapse and disintegrate. It was not that the samurai did not want to fight anymore, but that the fighting will and physical strength of many soldiers from peasant families had reached their limits and they were unable to fight anymore.

This was particularly evident in the Shimotsuke!

The Shimotsuke, who were originally forced to fight because the Hojo clan might retaliate against them, were not determined to fight. They had hoped that 25,000 would fight 10,000, and they would win easily. As a result, they ran into the Hojo clan's 30,000 troops, and there was no sign of victory.

Although the Shimotsuke had a total of 9,000 people, they first cut off more than 4,000 small porters and formation men, leaving only 4,000 people who could carry swords and guns to fight. These 4,000 people were divided into five or six groups, and there were internal struggles among the five or six groups.

In addition, the most dedicated Karasawa Sano clan and the Ashikaga Nagao clan were over-consumed in the previous battles, and the remaining small fish were actually using more than 2,000 actual combat forces to block the north of the besieged Uetobe.

Now the only wing of the coalition army is Narita Nagatsuda of Oshiro Castle, who has been back in action after resting for more than two hours. Without this active main force, this wing might collapse without a fight.

Uetobe's choice of direction of use of troops is really good, or it can be said that his mercenary officer Angel's tactical ability is enough to deal with such a battle situation.

Leaving behind the Musashi clan who were only willing to defend, Uetobe commanded the Sagami clan to start attacking in the direction of the Shimono clan. Just a glance, Ueto clearly felt that the Shimono clan was already dawdling.

The disadvantage of the coalition army without unified command is becoming more and more apparent!

Each team just participated in the battle according to the arrangement of the pre-war military meeting. When the front team of the Hojo army showed new movements, the coalition forces on the other two sides did not change any battle plan and continued to attack the Hojo army in front of them.

If the fresh troops were still on the battlefield at this time, only the 3,000 people of Shimosoma around Kobumi Yoshizumi were left. These traitors who were once affiliated with the Hojo clan were reluctant to go down to the battlefield and were just waiting for the balance of victory to fall to the coalition.

When the news of Ishinomaki Yasukage's killing came, everyone in Kobumi Yoshizumi's shogunate realized that the Hojo front army and the main team had been separated!

This made Yuki Haruta, Mizutani Masamura, Noda Naritamo and other generals who had been sitting quietly under Kobumi Yoshizumi finally move. The crowd did not look at Kobumi Yoshizumi, but at Yuki Haruta, after all, the Yuki clan was still a local snake in Shimosoma. It is considered a national flag that can determine the direction of the north Shimosoma.

"Your Highness, we can send troops!" Yuki Haruta thought for a while.

Although the current situation began to change in favor of the coalition, the rest of the coalition had not yet secured victory, and the two sides were actually still evenly matched.

If the Shimosho clan were to join the battlefield, they might be the force that would decide the outcome of the battle!

"We can send troops?" Xiao Gong Lai Chun, who was like a lone commander, suddenly heard Yuki Haruta's statement and was a little unbelievable.

"It's just the right time!"

"Good! Send troops! Send troops quickly!"

After watching the battle for more than three hours, the coalition's main camp, which had been silent, finally began to march towards the Shura Field outside Shinobi Castle.

The Shimosho clan was really determined to fight, and they were still qualified. After all, they were a force that had followed the Koga Kubo to fight for years. After roughly observing the battle situation and analyzing the reports of the envoys,

The Shimotsuma clan also realized that the seemingly strong Shimotsuma clan should have loopholes, and the Hojo vanguard front team was able to re-establish the command center immediately after knowing that it was separated from the Honjo main team. I think there is someone with a good eye.

If the Hojo vanguard wants to break the encirclement, it must choose the easiest place to attack. And the Shimotsuma clan is the easiest rookie to attack. If you don't attack him, it will be a shame to the Hojo family's reputation in Kanto for decades.

What should the Shimotsuma clan, as a fresh force, do?

Of course, when the Hojo vanguard split into two groups, they will go in diagonally to split the Hojo vanguard again. From a big hedgehog of 10,000 people, it becomes two small hedgehogs of several thousand people.

The idea is very clear! We can't eat the large group of Hojo army, but the small group of Hojo army can always bite off a piece of meat!

With the departure of the two horse marks of Ashikaga Nihiki, the Hojo vanguard's more than 10,000 troops also separated a team of about 4,000 people to attack the Shimotsuma clan as expected.

"Good opportunity!"

Yuki Harutamoto didn't care about his life at this time! He drove his men and led the way to the Hojo army!

Yong Tuoboduolu naturally didn't expect that the coalition forces would have fresh troops, and they were up to 3,000 reserve troops. How could they fight for several hours and just sit there and watch the show, and then suddenly stop watching and attack?

The Hojo army was attacked, and they never expected that after three hours of fighting, there would be a second round of attacks.

Yahawata Daimyojin, are you kidding my Hojo family?

The only thing to be thankful for is that Yong Tuoboduolu's troops did not leave the hedgehog formation of the Hojo front team too far, and the coalition side, due to the lack of communication means and the lag of information, also guessed that he would split his troops.

In this way, although Yuki Harutamoto's surprise attack caught Yong Tuoboduolu off guard, it did not achieve the expected tactical goal of dividing the Hojo front team into two groups.

The trump cards of both sides were constantly spread out, and gradually, all the cards were revealed. Every minute and every second, both sides are under the scrutiny of the God of War.

…………

"Where are the three thousand Houjie from the deep valley?" Oishi Shiteru only had more than two thousand imperial horses at hand, and it was very difficult to face the attack of more than two thousand mountain troops.

After all, there are 12,000 or so small lotus peasants who still need some manpower to look after them (keep an eye on them)! If the more than 10,000 civilians were attacked by the Yamauchi army and collapsed, then Hojo would not have to fight. The scattered crowd could defeat the Hojo army.

"It's here, it's here! Mataro is here! (Jie and Kangzhong)"

"How far is it?" Oishi Shiteru was overjoyed.

"Less than three hundred!" Lai made him happy.

"Hahahahahaha... Our army is almost ready to win this battle!"

After saying that, Oishi Shiteru put on his clothes in person, looked in the direction of Hosokawa Minae, and used all his strength to kill her.

At the same time, under the order of Oishi Teru, the three thousand people in Hojo's rear group took a slight detour of a few hundred meters, and together with the army's horsemen, surrounded and attacked Hosokawa Saime, completely destroying the center of the main force of the Yamauchi family. Knock it off.

If we can kill Hosokawa Kainyu in formation, then the coalition's Qi capture will be a brilliant victory!
