The charging samurais, on horse-back and on their legs were like a lawnmower as they swept across the battlefield.
The enemy troops fell to their feet as the horses run them down, swords and spears cutting slashing, and impaling the slowest of the bunch. There was no way for them to make a proper stand, the charge was sudden, and they had no tools or barricades set up to defend against it.
The first of the charge was the burly man that was in Dave's company, he rode on howling to the breaking night, "AVENGE OUR FALLEN GENERALS!"
The samurais behind him roared back in unison and increased their pace. For them, the two generals gave their lives to help them escape, and now it was time to pay the enemy their due.
Dave came down from the corpse mound, hacking at the stragglers, and shouted back, "WE'RE NOT DEAD YET YOU SHLOB! Clear the flanks, get the infantry to slow down, you'll exhaust them to death."
