A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The famous clan leader of the third chief of the Muromachi shogunate, the most prestigious of the few remaining Hosokawa clans in the world, Hosokawa Saime Masamatsusa, who also raised two flags with the Ashikaga clan, came to kill him!

"Quick! Get off your horse and form a formation!" Mr. Oishi saw that famous generals like Hosokawa Zainyu were a little timid, afraid of making mistakes.

Upon hearing the order, the Hojo Imperial Horse Troops dismounted one after another and formed a spear array along the road with their spears pointed out. Some samurai armed with rattan bows retreated slightly and fired arrows at the charging Hosokawa army.

"Don't look around! Focus on fighting the enemy!" Oishi Shiteru continued to shout loudly.

Compared to Oishi Teru, Hosokawa Saime didn't talk much and just yelled "Come on!". Then the soldiers shouted together, the sound was like thunder.

"Ah~~~"

Like the tide of Qiantang hitting the stone embankment, the impact visible to the naked eye burst out with a cruel symphony, even louder than the roar of iron cannons. Every minute and every second, lives are lost on the narrow roads.

The drums of Hojo and Yamauchi kept beating, and all the soldiers fought hard amidst the rumbling drums. The passionate drum beat is both a war horn and a call to hell.

But no one dares to stop!

"Second Division!" In just a few minutes, the Hojo Clan's First Division fell down dozens of people and was forced to withdraw.

"Kainyu, I'll do it myself." Hosokawa's hometown, Matsumi Sai enters the road with gray hair, but he still has a sense of heroism.

"Okay! My lord, use my red spear!" Hosokawa Tarime trusted this old family member who had served their family for two generations.

Handing over the spear, Hosokawa Saime beat the drum herself. The sound of the jintaiko drum became even more intense, inspiring people to move forward.

In the area around Songjian Zhaitou, a gun dance was performed. The messy mud didn't seem to have any impact on him. He just jumped quickly and quickly towards the Hojo army on the road.

Masayuki Sanada on the other side was also a master of using guns. He raised the gun forward and scanned the battlefield. Seeing Hosokawa Saime risking her life to hold back the Hojo army's royal horse troops for him, she felt deeply that she had a heavy responsibility.

The one who was maintaining the first contact with the front team was Ishinomaki Yasukei, the general of the Hojo clan. The connection between the 12,000 people in the front team and the main team relied entirely on the less than 400 people in his team.

Fortunately, Oishi Shiteru replenished him with the ashigaru of two hundred imperial horses, giving him a little more confidence to face Sanada Masayuki's strong attack.

The Sanada team flag holding the long ladder horse mark led the way, and the horse mark rushed forward, which meant that Sanada Masayuki himself had entered the battle. As soon as they met, Sanada Masayuki used all his strength.

As Hosokawa Saime said, no matter how good the strategy is, it is insignificant on the battlefield where real swords and real guns require life and death. At this time, the only thing that can determine victory or defeat is the sword and gun in your hand.

There is no need to think about what is there and what is not, just muster up the courage and exert all your strength to kill!

The swords are fleshy, the guns are bloody, there are not so many bells and whistles.

"The last descendant of Saburo Shigeno, the son of Sanada Danmasadada after Umino Kotaro Yuki clan, Sanada Kihei Masayuki is here!"

Wearing a majestic red armor, young Sanada Masayuki is full of heroic spirit under the sun and moon.

Facing the Hojo army attacking with guns, he just danced with his guns, and several Sanada family members also stepped forward.

"Open!" shouted, Sanada Masayuki shot a Hojo Ashigaru to death.

Dropping the spear stuck in the unknown ashigaru's body, he drew out his sword, and with the long ladder and horse mark following him, Sanada Masayuki rushed into Ishinomaki Yasukei's reserve team.

Ishinomaki Yasukei's original position can be seen. He is at the end of the leading team and at the front of his own team. The reason for being placed in such a position is simple. He is neither a brave general nor a calm and steady veteran.

But because of loyalty!

Just because of loyalty!

His father, Iesada Ishimaki, served two generations of powerful men, Hojo Utsuna and Hojo Uyasu, with all his heart. Even Hojo Ujiyasu praised him for his loyalty.

This also made Ishinomaki Yasukei the most senior general in the Hojo clan's royal horse army. Not only could he lead the army alone, he was also highly expected.

Now, due to the sudden change in the war situation, he is shouldering the important task of contacting the Hojo main team and the former team, which is actually somewhat beyond his ability.

Although he can lead a team of men alone, he can still hold on with a formation. However, he was still a little short of taking care of the front and rear, ensuring continuous contact between the entire army, and conveying the orders of the Chinese army's own troops. However, enemy troops came from all directions.

"What's the order from our team!" Ishinomaki Yasukei grabbed an envoy.

"Our team encountered a strong frontal attack by the Yamauchi Army Hosokawa Saime. His Highness requires you to hold on here and not take a step back!"

Looking at the Hojo Sankai Hoshida flag flying high in the distance, and the incessant sound of taiko drums amidst the fierce fighting. Ishinomaki Yasukei was a little confused when he couldn't get orders from above on how to act. Standing still was too general.

"What should we do? What should we do?" At this time, he was in a panic.

The subordinate Hojo samurai looked at each other, you are the reserve general, what you need to consider at this time! How can you ask us?

What's more, Oishi Shizhao asked you to stick to this place, so just stick to it and don't worry about anything else. Don't worry about whether we can continue to maintain communication. Just follow the order.

What are you panicking about?

Looking at the front army that was surrounded on three sides for a while, and then looking at the Hojo main force behind that was attacked by Hosokawa Saimei, Ishinomaki Yasukei felt that he was too short.

I can't see anything clearly, I can't see anything, I'm so confused!

In such a confusing situation, he actually got on his horse and tried to see more clearly.

The Kawara Tsuna family who was sent by Sanada Nobutsuna to protect Sanada Masayuki saw that there was a general riding on a horse so conspicuously, only about twenty meters away from him. If not, who would you hit?

Set up the gun, fire and aim, and it’s all done in one go!

"Go!"

Ishinomaki Yasukei got off his horse in response, and Sanada Masayuki looked back in disbelief at the Kawara Tsunaie beside him who startled him.

"The general of the Hojo Clan's Royal Horse Guards, Ishinomaki Hiko Rokuro Yasukei, has been killed by me, Sanada Kihei Masayuki!"

Tsuna Kawara responded with a victorious smile, then changed his gun into a knife and charged forward, dancing from side to side while shouting loudly.

The Hojo army, which had been resisting extremely fiercely, was temporarily overwhelmed. The general died, and the rest of the army was frightened.

"Ishinomaki-sama died in the battle! Ishinomaki-sama died in the battle!"

The soldiers of the Royal Horse Troops shouted and retreated, while the soldiers of the Ishinomaki Corps were at a loss. Some ran backwards, some ran forwards, and some ran to no one.

"Okay!" This is Hosokawa Saime who heard the news.

"Not good!" This is Oshi's photo after hearing the news.

The two shouted in unison, and then ordered their closest family members to join the battle group. Victory or defeat was right in front of them.
