Ueyama Kenshin slightly raised his chin, his eyes fixed on the center of the battlefield.

At this moment, the situation had become one-sided. The soldiers at the front line were collapsing like a house of cards. Under the charge of the Tang Dynasty's Xuanjia cavalry, they were in complete disarray, with screams and shouts ringing out one after another.

They were either crushed in the chest and their internal organs were shattered by the charge of the warhorses, or they couldn't withstand the force and fell to the ground, where they were trampled into a pulp by the iron hooves!

Under this overwhelming onslaught, Uesugi Kenkatsu's soldiers lost more than 10,000 men.

Behind the battlefield, Uesugi Kenshin's usually composed expression had vanished, replaced by a pale face covered in sweat.

Suddenly, his gaze turned cold, and he issued an order: "Pass on my military command! Carts, change formation, unleash a volley of arrows, and kill all traitors who dare to challenge the Emperor!"

"What?" Nagao Masatora turned his head sharply, his face full of surprise. "General Uesugi, our army still has quite a few samurai at the front lines..."

"Wheel suspension, change formation!" Uesugi Kenkatsu shouted repeatedly. "Archers, prepare!"

Nagao Masatora was drenched in sweat, his face covered in perspiration, and he kept wiping the sweat from his face. "Yes, sir!"

As for Uesugi Kenkatsu, his fingertips were already ice-cold; he had no choice but to obey such an order!

A moment later, the chariots turned, and Dongpango's archer phalanx drew their bows and nocked arrows.

At Uesugi Kenkatsu's command, a barrage of arrows was unleashed in an instant!

"Oh, so you want to shoot your own people too, huh?" Lin Mo sneered. "This formation was created by Huo Qubing, the champion of China. I studied it back on Earth and figured it out long ago!"

Then Lin Mo waved his hand, and the personal guards beside him immediately left, followed by the sounding of a horn.

"You will change, and so will I!" Lin Mo thought to himself.

As the bugle sounded, Xiang Yu grinned. "My lord, your tactical change was very timely!" He thought to himself, "Such command ability at such a young age is truly admirable!"

After speaking, he shouted, "Retreat!"

The main battlefield of Beirui Mountain is a crossroads!

In Uesugi Kenkatsu's plan, the crossroads was the key to defeating Lin Mo.

But, at this very moment.

Lin Mo took advantage of the crossroads, and Uesugi Kenshin subconsciously ordered the chariot formation to retreat, turning this place into Xiang Yu's "escape route" for his retreat!

Xiang Yu then directed his cavalry to retreat to either side of the crossroads.

The next second, a dense rain of arrows fell, landing on the heads of the Dongpango soldiers who had no time to retreat.

Dongpango's own men rained arrows down on them like hail, hundreds, thousands, countless in an instant.

Many people were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.

Upon seeing this from the rear of the battlefield, Uesugi Kenkatsu gripped his fan tightly, his eyes wide, and his lips began to tremble.

He spent months preparing for this war.

For such a long period of time, he devoted himself day and night, neglecting sleep and meals, and did his best to study Lin Mo's tactics and Lin Mo's troop types.

To his utter surprise, even after making thorough preparations and daring to start the fight, he was already facing a crushing defeat.

Without even needing to tally the casualties, Uesugi Kenkatsu could deduce with the naked eye that his side had suffered at least 30,000 dead, while the enemy's losses could not possibly exceed 1,000!

"Our army is on the defensive!" he couldn't help but think. "The defensive side that occupies a geographical advantage!"

"How could this happen? General Uesugi, how could this happen!" Nagao Masatora cried out in alarm, "What should we do next?"

Uesugi Kenkatsu was at a loss for a moment. His mind raced, trying to come up with a solution using his decades of battlefield experience, but to no avail.

The tactics used by his opponent, Lin Mo, were ones he had never seen before. How could he possibly find a way to counter them?

Nagao Masahiro, standing to the side, was so anxious that he kept stamping his feet.

The battle hadn't been going on for long, and his side hadn't yet suffered a complete defeat, but the ominous feeling was so strong that he even felt a little nauseous.

"General Uesugi!" Nagao Masatora called out again, "Make a decision quickly! The enemy cavalry will soon regroup!"

After much deliberation, Uesugi Kenkatsu had no choice but to announce, "Retreat! Retreat from the middle!"

"Huh?" Nagao Masatora could hardly believe his ears. "If the center retreats, what about the left and right flanks?"

If the central army of the Crane Wing Formation retreats, wouldn't that directly sever the connection between the two flanks?

"Didn't you hear that word?" Uesugi Kenshin shouted. "Back off!"

Nagao Masatora wanted to say something more, but seeing Uesugi Kenshin's determination, he had no choice but to give up.

"Lord Kuroda, Lord Fukushima, I entrust the flanks to you!" he thought to himself.

Seeing Dongpan Ge begin to retreat from the middle lane, Lin Mo couldn't help but smile. "In the face of the strength of the Jedi, all tactics, schemes, and open plots are useless," he thought to himself.

"Go ahead and pass down the order, tell Huo Tong to get moving!"

Upon receiving the order, his subordinate immediately mounted a fast horse and galloped towards Huo Tong's location.

Soon after, the scout arrived at Huo Tong's camp, but to his surprise, despite having informed him of the urgent military order from Regent Lin Mo, Huo Tong's personal guards refused to let him into the tent.

What shocked him even more was...

Not long after, several of Huo Tong's personal guards came out of the tent, disarmed him, and took him away from the main tent.

"General Huo, this is an urgent order from the Regent!"

Out of impatience, Huo Tong's personal guard punched the scout in the face, knocking him unconscious.

Inside the main tent, Huo Tong was receiving another distinguished guest, his "elder brother" from his own family!
