At seven o'clock in the silence, the water atomic chants out in surprise.

"Has Kenshi Uesugi's banner gone south?"

The steep mountain, located at the forefront, is in a very dangerous situation at this moment. If the main force of the Uesugi army goes south, they will be separated from the other four reserve teams.

"Yes, sir." The messenger from Wan Junbei answered the question of the Water Atom Sutra with a pale face.

"How long will it be? Do I have time to retreat and reconcile with the main army?" Shui Yuanzi asked anxiously while arranging the entire army into combat readiness mode and covering the auxiliary soldiers.

"Now." The messenger curled his lips with some difficulty, "They are all cavalrymen, and their speed is no more than the bottom."

Before the commander finished speaking, in the northwest snow fog, the cavalry of about 500 people had already stepped out of the snow. They were surrounded by the "Vi" army flag. After seeing the "Vi" flag, Mizua instantly gave up his plan to retreat. He had no confidence to complete the battlefield maneuver in front of Kenshin Uesugi.

"The entire army stopped! Hold on the spot! Immediately ask Your Highness for support!" Shui Yuanzi took a deep breath and ordered, "No manipulation without my order!"

Seeing this, the cavalry of about 500 people did not launch an attack immediately, but circled around the ridge, and went counterclockwise from the northwest of the ridge to the southeast, observing the formation of the ridge with interest, just like a predator before hunting leisurely looking at the prey, making the ridge-prepared people as if they were facing a great enemy.

At the same time, a large number of Uesugi army infantry and cavalry appeared from the northwest of the Junling Plain and headed south, directly cutting off the connection between the Junling Plain and the main army of the Hongye Army. A group of about 1,500 troops went around to the rear of the west of the Junling Plain and made an attacking posture.

At eight o'clock in the Si hour, Wanjun, the northernmost one, prepared in front of the formation.

"Back?" Beizai Jing's family stared at a cavalry squad slowly returning from the south. It attracted more attention than the nearly 1,500-man mixed infantry and cavalry troops that appeared from the northeast. It was either because of anything else, or because of the "Vi" flag that the cavalry squad was holding.

"Repeat again! Don't act rashly!" Beishengjing's family shouted loudly to the flag bearer, but his eyes never left the "Vi" flag for a moment, for fear that he would do anything crazy - even if there were only dozens of cavalry around him.

·

At the 8 o'clock in the morning, Takabashi, who was quickly advancing eastward to try to cover the ridge of the mountain, encountered a team of Uesugi army. The number of soldiers of about 1,500 was comparable to Takabashi's horse seal. However, compared with the "Vi" banner surrounded by the Uesugi army, Fukushima's horse seal seemed extremely helpless.

"It's Kenshin Uesugi... It's here!" Fukushima Ansei looked extremely solemn. Seeing this, he immediately ordered, "The whole army stopped! Hold on to the position! The snow is too heavy, and I can't see how many people there are behind Kenshin Uesugi! Notify the friendly army and His Highness! Ask for instructions!"

·

At the beginning of noon, walking in front of Liaoyuan, who was covering the flank of the south, the horse and seal of the character "Pi" led a mixed warrior of 1,500 infantry and cavalry to draw an arc from the north, blocking the road of Liaoyuan's advance.

"Damn it, Kenshi Uesugi is here! The goal is me

Are you? How many people are coming!" Jigang Shengzheng, who has always been afraid of heaven and earth, did not dare to Meng Lang at this moment, and hurriedly ordered, "Stay on the position! Send messengers! Ask for help from nearby!"

·

At the second hour of noon, Yu Qiuping from this formation was confused. He received a message from the emergency messenger like snowflakes. Each messenger said that Uesugi Kenshin's horse seal appeared in front of his army.

"What's going on? Did Kenshin Uesugi bring a team of cavalry around?" Yu Qiuhei was at a loss for the battle in the snow fog, and the poor visibility made the atmosphere of fear stronger.

"There is Uesugi Kenshin in front of the formation of the ridge, the above is Uesugi Kenshin in front of the formation of the junling ridge, the above is Uesugi Kenshin in front of the formation of the changtan, and the above is Uesugi Kenshin in front of the formation of the liangyuan..." Takenaka Shigeji coughed violently twice, and his face became increasingly ugly.

"Why are there so many 'Vi' army flags?" Yu Qiuping asked in a low voice with a frown.

"Because there is a place where Kenshin Uesugi, things will go smoothly." Takenaka Shigeji whispered in a low voice, "Uesugi Kenshin's attack a few days ago made us all at risk. As soon as we see his horse seal, he will turn into defense. So he set up a suspicion array and scared all the troops on the front line with his horse seal, making them afraid to move and they can only fight on their own."

"Does he want to concentrate his troops to attack one of them?" Yu Qiuping seemed to understand, "Oops!"

"Yes." Takenaka Shigeji coughed twice again, and pointed his hand tremblingly to the east, "I think it will be a steep mountain, and it will be dangerous. Let the troops immediately move closer to the steep mountain."

·

However, Uesugi army came faster than the Red Leaf Army.

At the beginning of noon a quarter of an hour ago, Junling Preparation faced an extremely difficult situation. On the west side of them, the Uesugi army, which had about 1,500 people who were bypassed from the northeast, began to attack Junling Preparation. In the northwest direction, another team of Uesugi army, which had about 1,500 people without relying on the flag, drew an arc towards the north of Junling Preparation. Not far southeast, the cavalry team with about 500 people holding the "Vi" flag was still constantly surrounding Junling Preparation.

"Sir, give up covering the auxiliary soldiers. All the soldiers formed a formation, and we still have the possibility of sticking to our positions and waiting for support." Naomasa Ii made a very decisive suggestion to Mizuaoji, "I dared to say bluntly that if you want to cover the auxiliary soldiers, it is no different from suicide."

"I understand." Shui Yuanzi looked at the situation on the battlefield, then looked at the poor auxiliary soldiers who were unarmed after the formation. "But I don't want to be sorry to them... They teach their lives in our hands, helping us transport them day and night, and they don't have enough food to eat a day and work. When we encounter danger, we leave them behind. How can we be worthy of it?"

"Time is tight, sir..." Ii Naomasa didn't know how to persuade him, so he turned his eyes to Yu Qiushang beside him. He felt that with Yu Qiushang's usual calmness, he would definitely be able to make a rational judgment at this moment. However, Yu Qiushang was standing there without saying a word, pursing his lips and not knowing what he was thinking.

"I know, there is no time." Shui Yuanzi Jing finally glanced at the helpless auxiliary soldiers, and then sighed sadly, "The three companies in the army have a hollow square formation with the word "Pin". The father and son in the family are all there, and the son enter the formation; the brothers are all there, and the younger brother enters the formation; the only son in the family is one enters the formation. The space is small and cannot protect everyone. I hope everyone is honest and unrestrained. The rest of the people hide in the cracks between the word "Pin" and leave it to fate. Are my sons correct?

Live them.”

After the order from the Water Atomic Sutra was issued, the originally noisy auxiliary soldiers lined up in silence. After about a while, the auxiliary soldiers began to act speechlessly. The crowd squirmed and sent some young children into the center of the battle phalanx. Halfway through the process, sporadic sobs finally sounded in the formation, which then turned into howlings and farewells from the whole army. The fathers and brothers understood that if they were greedy for life and fear of death, they would put more pressure on the battle phalanx and eventually killed their children. For the safety of their children, they had to stay outside the formation silently.

Amid the crying sound, the ridge was attacked by the Uesugi army. The troops from the west attacked the 3rd Company of Ikemoto Musashi, the troops in the north attacked the 2nd Company of Ikemoto's ridge, and the Mizuao-Ji led the artillery team and headquarters to Yu Qiushang's ridge, the 1st Company of the ridge, the central command.

After noticing that there were many unarmed auxiliary soldiers in the gaps between the three square formations, the Echigo army immediately waved their butcher swords and killed them. The auxiliary soldiers pushed and fled in the deep and shallow snow, but were still chased and cut down by the Uesugi army one by one. The blood dyed the pale snow field red. The gap between the three square formations was as terrifying as purgatory, and the bodies of the auxiliary soldiers were piled up in all directions. Many auxiliary soldiers began to escape to the south and east, but where could they run fast in the heavy snow? The cavalry cruising nearby scattered everywhere and wanted to cut down the auxiliary soldiers who were fleeing in the snow. No one could escape.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Red Leaf Army were already so angry that their faces turned red and their veins bulged. But they also understood that they must not mess up the formation at the moment with few enemies. Even if the massacre happened at their feet, they could not go out and pull their poor brothers.

"There is a chance." In the violent anger, the Water Atomic Jing was still trying to maintain calmness. He found that the two Uesugi army troops had some troops penetrated into the center of the three square formations in order to massacre auxiliary soldiers, and the formation was a little scattered. The cavalry team in the distance also scattered in a row and slaughtered randomly, and could not be aggregated in a short time. At this moment, if the first company of Junling Bei, who was not attacked, could launch a counterattack...

"Young Master!" Shui Yuanzi made a quick decision and ordered Yu Qiushang, "Take four platoons, launch two ranks and four horizontal formations to counterattack!"

"As for the order." Yu Qiu Shang looked fierce and personally drew his sword and walked to the front line. The square formation of the first company of the Junling Preparation Company spread horizontally from the north and south, and went to the center of the square formation. The Uesugi army, who was originally so happy, was caught off guard, but the quality of the Echigo army samurai and foot light was really high. After a brief shock, he immediately regrouped and retreated from the "grade", forming a formation to block the counterattack of the first company of the Junling Preparation Company. Seeing this, the second company and the third company of the Junling Preparation Company made efforts at the same time, cooperated together, and temporarily suppressed the Uesugi army, which was far more than theirs.

At this time, the cavalry team cruising in the south gathered again and rushed towards the position of the Shui Yuanzizhima Shima. Yu Qiushang saw that it was Uesugi Kenshin who was personally rushing to the formation, so he did not dare to be careless. He taught the counterattacking troops to the deputy company commander, and he personally rushed back to the three companies left beside the Shui Yuanzizhima Shima. The headquarters of the Shui Yuanzizhima Shima had a cavalry platoon and the only iron cannon platoon in full-standing troop, and three cannons, which was the unit with the strongest firepower of the entire army. In addition, with the spearmen of the three platoons of Yu Qiushang's hand, he asked himself that the 500 cavalry under his crotch should not be a big problem.

The 500 cavalry were not vague and rushed over to face the mountain flags prepared by the steep mountains. In order to avoid the damage of iron cannons and artillery, they dispersed their formation and came from the east, southeast and south directions.
