In a flash, Yu Qiuping seemed to have returned to ten years ago. On the battlefield, he once again missed a good opportunity because of his personal affair.
But this time, he did not suffer the consequences of his good intentions. Because opposite him, the leading young man was also a fool who valued love and justice.
"Brother..." Asai Nagamasa looked at Yu Qiuping on the camp wall who couldn't bear to order the shooting, and found that the latter was also looking at him, and his eyes suddenly became moist.
"Lord! Please immediately order the troops to break up and charge forward!" A retainer following Asai Nagamasa immediately suggested upon seeing this, "It's a blessing that the Yuqiuzhi Division missed the opportunity and did not order the iron artillery team to fire.
!Now we must disperse the queue, reduce salvo damage, and then launch a charge immediately!"
"No!" Asai Nagamasa saw this and stopped him sternly, "Brother was thinking about his old relationship, so he didn't shoot just now. How could it be a missed opportunity? If we use my brother's old relationship to attack, wouldn't it be a breach of trust, and how can we show our face to the world?"
"Then what do you mean, lord? Are you not going to attack?" The retainer felt something was wrong and asked again.
"Soldiers are a major matter for the country. Naturally, we cannot miss the chance to fight for personal reasons." Asai Nagamasa sighed and chose a compromise, "Brother released the eagle to prepare a horse, and the eagle prepared to return the horse."
This is a kindness. Yingying Bei has suffered a lot of losses anyway, so let Yingying Bei withdraw from the battle and let the following troops continue the attack."
"This..." the retainer immediately said anxiously after hearing this, "My Lord, Yingying Bei! The Yingying Bei is in great momentum at the moment, how can we let the Yingying Bei evacuate? The strongest one in the family is the Yingying Bei. Who else can do it except the Yingying Bei?
Is he the opponent of Tokiwa Bei of Yu Qiuzhi's department? What's more, if the Eagle Bei retreats at this moment and drops a batch of reserve troops back, wouldn't it waste a lot of time!"
"That's what it should be! If brother hadn't thought about the old relationship, we would have been killed by the gun at this moment!" Nagamasa Asai ordered without any doubt, asking the flag bearer to issue the order. After receiving the order, each reserve unit of the Eagle Bei
Although he was very confused, he completed the turn very quickly and started to retreat.
After seeing Yingying Bei retreating, Yu Qiuping let out a sigh of relief. He was afraid that his kindness would bring disaster to the reserve team again. But just as Yingying Bei retreated, a figure came out of the queue. Yu Qiuping fixed his eyes.
Look, it turned out that the person who came was none other than his adopted brother Asai Nagamasa. He seemed to have no regard for the 450 black iron cannons on the camp wall. He trusted Yu Qiuping very much and walked straight to the place fifteen feet outside the camp gate.
Zhu Yuqiu met a younger brother who had seen his elder brother's gift.
Upon seeing this, Yu Qiuping immediately waved and ordered all the iron gunners to put away their guns. The iron gunners immediately blew out the flames on the match ropes and lowered the iron cannons.
"Thank you for your mercy, brother! I will always remember my brother's kindness!" Asai Nagamasa shouted to Yu Qiuping from a distance, "I just hope that my brother will remember the justice of the Wu family and don't have to go to the battlefield for personal reasons.
I have reservations! Next time we meet, Nagamasa hopes to have a fair showdown with my brother!"
Having said that, Asai Nagamasa once again gave Yu Qiu a big gift, but this time, it was the etiquette between samurai before a duel. Then he turned and left. Yu Qiu Ping looked at Asai Nagamasa's back and said,
His eyes gradually became moist.
·
Soon after, Isono Watamasa's troops took over Takabei's position and prepared to launch an attack. However, in the long-distance exchange of fire, his troops were quickly suppressed by Tokiwabei's iron cannons. They had no choice but to
As a result, Asai Nagamasa ordered all the iron gunners in the Asai Army to be transferred to the front line, under the unified command of Isono Umasagi. The state-owned village, one of the largest iron cannon manufacturing centers in Kinki, is located in the territory of the Asai Army.
.As a result, the Asai Army was able to possess a considerable number of iron cannons.
This is the first time since the iron gunners of Joban Bei have faced an attack by iron gunners who outnumber themselves since they formed an army. Yu Qiuping can't help but feel a little nervous. In the past, the iron gunners of Joban Bei were able to compete with archers due to their excellent equipment.
It was easy to grasp the advantage. However, iron cannon shooting was different. No matter how sophisticated your armor was, as long as the projectiles were fired, it would not be able to stop it. Therefore, the casualties of the Tokiwabi iron gunners gradually increased.
However, Tokiwabei's iron gunners are well-trained, and their rate of fire and accuracy are much better than those of the Asai family. These days, Xiangyu Qiupei is one of the few who gathers the iron cannons for training and use like this. In the Asai family,
Only those samurai families with strong financial resources can equip the army with dozens or hundreds of iron cannons. They usually use them as treasures to show off their financial resources, and rarely spend a lot of money to buy gunpowder pellets to train iron gunners. These neglects
The trained iron gunners are naturally not as good as the Jobanbi iron gunners who practice every day. Not to mention that the Jobanbi iron gunners have the cover of the camp wall, while the Asai family's iron gunners can only shoot upward on the flat ground.
The shooting continued for a period of time, and the iron gunners of the Asai Army gradually became unbearable with such casualties. In addition, they all came from different families and did not belong to each other, so Masa Isono could not give them orders. The leading samurai saw the iron gunners' casualties getting worse and worse.
After coming to Japan, he led his troops to retreat from the front line one after another. In desperation, Isano Masaru had no choice but to bite the bullet and order the troops to attack the Oda family's camp. However, like Tokiwabei's iron gunners, Tokiwabei's spearmen
They were also well-trained, and even if they were besieged on three sides in a hurry, the Asai family couldn't do anything against Tokiwa Bei.
Tsunachika Kaiboku, who arrived later, tried to detour to the west side of the camp and completely surrounded the camp. After seeing Kaibibi's movements, Yu Qiuping felt a cold sweat behind him and began to quietly adjust his deployment. Because of this expedition, Tokiwa Bei
Only three companies were brought out, so they could only resist from three directions. At this time, the west gate of the camp was almost unguarded.
In order to defend the west gate, Yu Qiuping could only draw troops from the defense lines in the other three directions, which inevitably put greater pressure on the defense. Many of the unorganized Oda family's defeated troops in the camp were in chaos.
Go, seriously hindering Yu Qiuping's scheduling.
·
However, just when the Asai family's offensive was about to make progress, the main force led by Oda Nobunaga finally arrived belatedly. They left Tokugawa Ieyasu behind on the mountain road, and they rushed back from the north of Chohoji Temple.
, come to aid our formation.
However, even if the main formation of the Orita Allied Forces was not lost, there would be no suspense in this battle. One-third of the troops of the Orita Allied Forces were defeated by Asai Nagamasa at the beginning of the war, and the Asai-Asakura Allied Forces could use
The number of soldiers has now surpassed that of the Oda Army. With its inferior strength and being attacked from both sides, the Oda Army cannot defeat the coalition forces away from home in the enemy's territory.
Therefore, Oda Nobunaga didn't say much. After simply repelling the attacking troops of the Asai Army, he ordered the entire army to evacuate immediately.
"Retreat? Where to retreat?" Yu Qiuping asked in surprise after receiving the order from the Mother Clothes, "Isn't the retreat route already blocked by the Asai Army?"
"Reporting to Your Highness, not long ago, Kuchiki Motsuna of Kuchiki Valley was forced to agree to our request for a passage.
"The mother-in-laws replied, "We had a lot of broken troops rushing to the west just now. Kinoshita-sama took the opportunity to call himself the envoy of the Oda family and entered Kuchiki Motsuna's residence to negotiate with him. He threatened that if he did not agree to let go, these Oda family members
The army would take advantage of the chaos and loot the villages and towns of Kuchiki Valley. Although the Oda family army had been routed, Kuchiki Motsuna did not dare to make a big deal, so he had to agree to the conditions."
"Tengjiro has done great work again!" Yu Qiuping gave a high-five in excitement, and then ordered, "Please tell the lord to let him lead the defeated troops and auxiliary troops in this camp to evacuate first. I will hold on here until His Highness Tokugawa returns.
They will be evacuated together."
"No, my lord means that His Majesty Hongye please withdraw now." After hearing this, the mother-in-laws shook their heads and said, "Although the Asai family has been forced to retreat, they will attack again soon. If the rearguard is blocked, the whole army will be destroyed."
Everyone will encounter risks. Therefore, Your Highness is requested to evacuate quickly."
"I have withdrawn here, what will His Majesty Tokugawa do?" Yu Qiuping noticed something in the words of the mother-in-law, and pointed angrily at the mountain road to the north, "His Majesty Tokugawa used more than a thousand soldiers to block the Asakura family's 8,000 soldiers.
Tian Jun bought time to retreat. Are we going to leave him behind? As soon as I retreat here, the Asai family will occupy Chohoji Temple, and the Tokugawa family will be spoiled!"
"Your Highness, please obey the military order." Seeing that Yu Qiuping could not be persuaded, the mother-in-law immediately lowered their heads and said in a deep voice that was neither humble nor overbearing.
"I refuse." Yu Qiuping shook his head firmly and said, "Take me to see the lord!"
·
When Yu Qiupei found Oda Nobunaga, who was commanding the troops to evacuate outside the west gate, under the leadership of the women's clothing, he found that Akechi Mitsuhide seemed to be arguing with Oda Nobunaga as well.
"His Majesty Tokugawa tried his best to cut off our power, how could he just let us go at this moment?" Akechi Mitsuhide asked with some excitement. Even though he was away on the battlefield, his face was still thickly powdered, and he was dressed like a palace minister, almost like a palace minister.
His appearance could not be seen. But this time, his cheeks were so red that even the powder could not cover them up.
"His Majesty Tokugawa will figure it out by himself, it's not your turn to worry about it." Oda Nobunaga snorted disdainfully, slammed his riding whip in the air, and scolded sternly: "You are a retainer of the Oda family.
Just obey Yu's orders! If you don't retreat at this time, you will be stuck by the Asai Army, and these tens of thousands of auxiliary troops will be at the mercy of others!"
"Your Majesty," Yu Qiuping saw this and interrupted, "I think His Highness Akechi is right. No matter what, allies should share life and death. If this battle is destined to suffer heavy losses, we should also advance and retreat with His Highness Tokugawa.
, bear the losses together instead of leaving His Highness Tokugawa behind."
Akechi Mitsuhide heard this and cast a grateful glance at Yu Qiuping. Yu Qiuping suddenly felt that these eyes were familiar, but he couldn't remember when he had seen them before.
"Don't use your smart mouths to say stupid things." After Oda Nobunaga saw that both Akihira and Akechi Mitsuhide were against his orders, he said bitterly: "Amu Momiji, I was released just a few hours ago.
, the scar has healed and the pain has been forgotten?”
"No matter what, I refuse to betray our allies. The Asai family is like this, and the Tokugawa family is like this." Yu Qiuping straightened his back and looked at Oda Nobunaga without fear. The two just stared at each other.
After a moment, Oda Nobunaga suddenly sneered, flicked his horsewhip, and whispered disdainfully: "You want to rescue, you two go there by yourselves. I have led the army away, you can figure it out on your own!"
