Victory

The Uesugi men pressed into a sea of bodies, trying to use shear weigh alone to punish the stubborn one hundred that still dared to fight on.

"Push!" Gengyo demanded. His men were his will, and his words manifested themselves in immediate action.

"URAH!" They lashed out as a single defiant unit, using both shoulders and swords, and they managed to stagger the frontline, forcing them to step backwards. It gave them a metre of space, and they utilised that to the fullest. A sword thrust forward and then another and then another. By the time that gap was once more filled, the Uesugi soldiers were three hundred men lighter.

"Hold!" Gengyo called out, fending off the aggressors, allowing the tension to build up. More and more men joined the Uesugi attack, pressing down on them once more.
