"Your Highness! Escape quickly! It's no longer safe here!" Goto Kentoyo saw that the situation was over, the troops could no longer reorganize, and the Asai army was about to attack the horse seal. He immediately rushed up and grabbed Rokkaku Yoshiken's horse. The reins asked him to evacuate: "The horses are gone, and there is no one to protect your highness! Please leave as soon as possible! Leave the green hills without worrying about having no firewood!"
Several guards around him immediately came up to persuade Rokkaku Yoshihide to leave. Rokkaku Yoshihide looked at the retreating army in the east in a daze, and the horse seal and white eagle flag of Asai Nagamasa flying high. He knew clearly in his heart. Very soon, once Ma Yin is lost, the entire Liujia family army will lose its command and fighting spirit and become a mess.
Although they are not at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, they even surrounded the Asai family. But without Ma Yin's command, everyone will lose the will to fight. They don't know whether the friendly forces will continue to fight; they don't know whether their offense or defense will be successful. I don’t know if I will fall into a situation of fighting alone; I don’t know where to attack and who to fight...In the end, it will just be chaos and people will retreat. This is why in war, once the coach’s flag is taken down, If it breaks through, the army will be destroyed. The Rokkaku family's army is about to collapse. This is a defeat that the Rokkaku family has not experienced in many years.
Although it is located in the territory of Minami Omi, the troops can escape back to their home areas on their own. However, under the pursuit of the Asai Army, there will probably be a lot of casualties. In a short period of time, the Rokkaku family will no longer be able to gather the troops who have fled back to their respective territories. The defenses of the wealthy families, Kannonji Castle, and Minosaurus Castle are also in danger. Moreover, after this defeat, the Rokkaku family may lose face in Omi and shake their prestige. Many wealthy families in the border areas may fall to the Asai family. Rokkaku The family’s efforts in the Kinki area for more than ten years have come to nothing.
"It's too fast." Rokkaku Yoshiken got on his horse unwillingly. He had defeated the Asai family half an hour ago, unified Omi, and dominated Kinki just around the corner. In the blink of an eye, he was in this situation.
The army was defeated like a mountain.
Rokkaku Yoshiken looked at the fleeing Rokkaku Army Ashigaru, and behind them, the horse prints flapping in the wind with a hunting sound, and the heroic general under the horse prints, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Xianmasa. Oh no, Nagamasa!" He pointed at Asai Nagamasa from a distance and said with a smile: "After breaking through five formations in a row, you are already above your grandfather!"
Ma Yin of the Rokkaku family issued the final order: everyone to escape. Then, he was kicked by the guards, and everyone surrounded Rokkaku Yixian and fled in a hurry.
Before crossing the river, Rokkaku Yoshihide reluctantly took one last look at the battlefield. The sun had already set in the west. The two armies that were originally anxious had now turned into a pursuit of the Asai family. The Rokkaku family's troops retreated and fled in all directions. The flag with the yellow crane pattern on the bottom was thrown to the ground in pieces.
He looked far into the distance and saw an eagle rising into the sky behind the Huangshen Mountain in the distance. It crossed the top of the mountain and hit the sky. Then it swooped down and hovered low over the battlefield, soaring and chirping as if on the battlefield. The demonstration seemed to be cathartic.
The Eagle of Omi has taken off!
At the beginning of the hour, smoke was already curling up from the top of Feitian City. Since early morning, the Asai army, which had been fighting for a day, had not eaten anything except a little dry food in the morning, and they were all hungry at this moment. Feitian City was ordered to mobilize the people in the territory. Cook dinner and welcome the army back to the city.
The Rokkaku Army scattered and retreated after the fall of Ma Yin, and suffered heavy losses due to the pursuit of the Asai Army. Afterwards, the Rokkaku Family Horsemen, who rushed back in time, hurriedly covered the evacuation of the army and prevented Asai Nagamasa's further pursuit. Asai Nagamasa No longer interested in fighting, he began to gather troops in Noragada.
"Brother, you're back!" When Asai Nagamasa saw Yu Qiuping coming back with his men, he hurriedly greeted him personally. "It's such a pity that Rokkaku Yoshihide ran away!"
"It's okay, Nagamasa, you've done a great job. Without the superior cavalry, it's not easy to catch the opponent's coach. We have already won this battle!" Yu Qiuping said with a smile, "In the end, your bravery in defeating Wu Bei in a row is destined to be a victory in the battle. Omi has become a myth!"
"Brother, thank you for being a good soldier." Asai Nagamasa sincerely thanked him, "Although the military skills of the army have not been strengthened much, the degree of training, the spirit, and the enforcement of orders and prohibitions have really made the army stronger. It’s more than one level!”
"The training and the prohibitions are indeed the result of training, but the fighting spirit of disregarding death is what you, Nagamasa, and the warrior warrior giri brought to them!" Yu Qiuping patted him on the shoulder.
"Eh? Brother?" Asai Nagamasa suddenly found that Yu Qiuping was soaked all over and his hair was wet, "Why are you all wet?"
"Because I, my little brother, caught a big guy myself!" Maeda Toshiie, who was following Yu Qiupei, laughed loudly, "What does it have to do with letting Rokkaku Yoshihide run away? He was just a former family governor! He took the current family governor Rokkaku. Yiji has been captured!"
"What! Really!" Not only Asai Nagamasa, but also several important ministers around him were shocked. Capturing Rokkaku Yoshiharu would be a huge blow to the prestige of the Rokkaku family. It would be a great shame and humiliation for the family governor to be captured by mistake. No matter what happened after that, War is peace, the Rokkaku family may have no choice but to be at the mercy of the Asai family!
"Of course it's true!" Maeda Toshiie waved his hand, and a few ashigaru brought up the pale-faced Rokkaku Yoshiji, who was tied up like a rice dumpling. Yu Qiupei also stuffed a rag into the latter's mouth—— He remembered that in the movies, people who were kidnapped were all fortress rags. Yu Qiuping didn't know that even if he caught the local governor on the battlefield, he would usually politely "please" him back. It would be too rude to tie someone up like him.
"It's really Rokkaku Yoshiharu!" The surrounding ministers and family elders cheered. The news of the capture of the local governor quickly spread throughout the Noragada battlefield. The Asai family Ashigaru embraced each other excitedly regardless of fatigue and hunger. Qing, kept cheering! The Asai family has been avenged for more than ten years of humiliation!
"How did you do it?" Asai Nagamasa asked in surprise, and at the same time, he hurriedly asked someone to untie Rokkaku Yoshiharu and take out the rag.
"Sir Rokkaku led his men to chase Lord Akao, but he chased him too deep." Yu Qiuping smiled and glanced at the ashen-faced Rokkaku Yoshiji, "As soon as the horse seal fell, the Rokkaku army scattered like birds and beasts, retreating in all directions. The battlefield was very chaotic. The bridge from the east bank to the west bank of the Bunnok Stream was crowded with defeated troops. Lord Rokkaku panicked and didn't choose a route. Seeing the pursuers approaching, he actually took off his armor, jumped into the Bunnok Stream, and tried to swim across."
"Haha, although I am not good at martial arts, when it comes to swimming, few people can be my opponent!" Yu Qiuping laughed proudly. He loved swimming in his previous life. After systematic training, he and Rokko Yixian, who can only dog ​​paddle, of course Not on the same level. "So I jumped in with a few people, pushed Mr. Rokkaku into the water, choked him half to death, and dragged him up!"
After the battlefield was cleared, the army went to Feitian City for dinner, and the losses and gains of the troops were also counted. In this battle, the Asai Army lost 612 of its 4,500 soldiers, and more than 300 people were missing and did not return to the team. Most of them were missing.
It was caused by being ambushed by Yamaoka Keitaka in Arakami Mountain and being chased by the Hexagon Army when they were defeated in the frontal battlefield. The head of the Baibai family was killed in the battle, and the head of the Mitamura family died of serious injuries. Asai Nagamasa buried them separately.
In addition, nearly a thousand soldiers of the Asai Army were injured, and more than a thousand casualties were suffered by the auxiliary troops. However, compared to the losses of the Hexagon Army, the losses of the Asai Army were much less.
Only the heads obtained on the battlefield were level 1231. More than 2,000 people were blocked on the west bank of the Bunroku River and had no time to evacuate. They were captured together with Rokkaku Yoshiharu, and there were probably countless injured. The Asai family also
They captured more than 2,000 pieces of bamboo and bamboo armor left behind by the Rokkaku army when they retreated, as well as countless bamboo spears and swords. However, since the Rokkaku family was not surrounded, no more captures and prisoners could be obtained. Each family
The important ministers and elders of the wealthy family were not captured anymore.
However, it is impossible for the Rokkaku family to summon an army of over 10,000 people in a short period of time. Not to mention that the Rokkaku army has lost most of their armor and weapons of more than 6,000 soldiers, and all the wealthy families have also fled back to their own territory.
They increased their defense and were unable to fight any more. According to the reports from Ma Zhongzhong who were pursuing them all the way, the troops around Rokkaku Yixian, including the auxiliary troops, only numbered three to four thousand. They fled all the way back to the Guanyin Temple City behind closed doors.
Out. A large number of Rokkaku's defeated troops were fleeing around Norada, but because it was getting late, the Asai army was unable to pursue them.
That night, General Asai held a grand banquet in the Hieda Castle Castle. All the wine and meat in the nearby villages were bought up. Everyone toasted to celebrate, and the banquet was very lively. They were all veterans of the Asai family for three generations, and these ten
Over the past few years, the family has been deteriorating, losing land continuously, and has been suppressed and beaten by the Rokkaku family. The Asai army was defeated in the Battle of Takamiya, and they had to humiliate themselves to sue for peace with the Rokkaku family and become a vassal of the Rokkaku family. This suffocation
, they have endured it for a long time.
In today's battle of Noragada, the Asai family was finally proud and proud. With a disadvantaged force, they penetrated deep into the heart of the Rokkaku family and defeated the entire Rokkaku family army. However, they captured the current governor of the Rokkaku family alive. With such majesty and ease, how could these important ministers not
Excited? The Asai family has now stood up and no longer has to crawl in front of the Rokkaku family!
The most excited and excited person is Asai Nagamasa. He took over the position of family governor from his father in order to avenge his past humiliation and have a good fight with the Rokkaku family. He is only fifteen or sixteen years old this year, so you can imagine
You know how much courage he carries. The expectations of the main war faction, the complaints of the main peace faction, the rise and fall of the Asai family, and the fate of more than 10,000 ashigaru people are all borne by him! Now, the battle is finally over, Asai
The family won a complete victory! And he himself was praised as the "Eagle of Omi" in Kinki because he led the eagle preparations to defeat five formations in a row.
At the banquet, Asai Nagamasa ignored his usual polite image and ate wildly with his retainers, boasting about each other's martial arts. The retainers also officially recognized this young, promising, brave and capable young master as the new leader of the Asai family.
In addition to the excitement of the house governor, Asai Nagamasa asked the important ministers to toast one by one. Yu Qiuping had already drank several bottles before he could stop him. Sure enough, he immediately fell to the ground drunk and was carried down amidst the laughter of everyone.
After sending Asai Nagamasa back to rest, Yu Qiuping casually strolled outside the castle tower and happened to see Matsushita Qingran, sitting by the stairs, silently thinking about something.
"Hanbei, why don't you celebrate your victory! The adults inside are all clamoring to toast you, a great hero!" Yu Qiuping smiled and sat down next to him, "Why don't you look happy!"
"Of course I'm happy." Matsushita smiled lightly, "Yu Zi, Mr. Asai is our good friend. Mr. Yu, the heir of Mino Saito, and the mother of Mr. Ryuuki also came from the Omi Asai family and the Saito family.
There is also a marriage with the Asai family, so if the Asai family wins, I will naturally be happy."
"However, the war does not end when we win. We also have to think about how to end the war and consolidate the fruits of victory." Matsushita shook his head lightly, "The Asai family has won a big victory, so naturally they are not willing to take the initiative to send people to request.
Peace talks. The Rokkaku family was originally the overlord of Omi. In this battle, they lost all their face and the family governor was captured. Rokkaku Yoshihide is so proud and arrogant that he cannot even lose face to ask for peace."
"If the two armies do not stop fighting and continue to face off for a long time, it will not be good for anyone, and it will easily give the Miyoshi family an opportunity to intervene in Omi." Matsushita looked at Yu Qiuping lightly, "This is the issue we have to consider now."
"The battle has just ended, and you are like this!" Yu Qiuping said with a bitter smile, "Don't be too tired."
"I didn't think about it after the fight. I was thinking about it before the fight." Matsushita shook his head lightly, "If you don't have long-term worries, you must have immediate worries. If you don't think about how to end the war, you shouldn't start it."
"What do you mean, Hanbei..." Yu Qiuping asked.
"Please ask the Imagawa family to come forward to mediate." Matsushita looked at Yu Qiuping lightly.
Chapter completed!
