After the first oar was cut down, the Hashiba Army's team immediately burst into cheers. Mitsuji Miyata didn't take a break and rushed to the other iron cannon oar regardless. At this time, the man who was staying safely in the camp
The Araki Army could not sit still anymore and rushed out many people to cover their own oars. The Yuchai Army and the Araki Army fought under the iron cannon oar outside the camp gate.
However, the Araki Army never expected that the samurai holding an ax to chop the oars was so brave that he didn't even change his sword. He danced around in the crowd with the ax and beat up the Araki Army's people.
They were retreating steadily. The Yu Chai Army's death squads desperately rushed to the iron cannon oars. The few in front were killed by the iron cannon on the spot, but the few samurai behind took advantage of the interval when the iron cannon man was reloading and rushed forward with their long guns.
, shooting randomly in a small space, knocking down all the iron gunners in the iron cannon oars.
Without the condescending cover of the iron cannon oars, the Araki Army's troops could not stop the Yushiba Army's spear formation. Although the Yushaba Army's spearmen did not have the tacit cooperation and superb marksmanship of the Hongye Army, they were still more than enough to deal with the Araki Army's chaotic formation.
The Araki army who rushed out of the camp gate was beaten by the Yushiba army. In order to allow the defeated soldiers to retreat into the camp gate, the Araki family defenders could not close the door, so they had to watch the Yushiba army rush in after their defeated soldiers.
Inside the camp.
"Inform your Highness that I, Miyata Koji, have definitely accomplished something!" Miyata Koji shouted excitedly at the messenger behind him, "Let His Highness send people to support you! We will hit Araki Murashige right under his nose.
!”
"Kihachi did a great job!" Hashiba Hideyoshi, who was standing on the watchtower in the camp, looked excitedly at the progress made by Miyata Koji. Before Miyata Koji's messenger came over, he had already loudly ordered: "Let's prepare now.
The team was sent up to expand the breakthrough point and capture Araki Village in one fell swoop!"
As the reserves of the Hashiba Army poured in from the camp gate that Miyata Koji broke, the Araki Army, which had originally tried to push out Miyata Koji by relying on the advantage of internal combat forces, had to retreat and reorganize the front. But this time they
Retreating involved the defense of the west gate and the east gate. Kamikoda Masaharu and Oto Chinobu also seized the opportunity to attack fiercely. The Araki army's camp was already in danger.
"It's almost done!" Hashiba Hideyoshi could no longer sit still in the camp. He personally rode his horse and rushed to the Araki Army's camp to take command. Hashiba Hideyoshi, who took the lead, greatly boosted morale, and the Hashiba Army launched wave after wave of attacks.
They launched an offensive and defeated the Araki army steadily.
However, at this moment, a panting ninja suddenly came into the Yu Chai Army's camp.
"Your Highness, Your Highness! I want to find Your Highness!" After the ninja rushed into the camp gate, he grabbed people everywhere and asked where Hashiba Hideyoshi was, regardless of etiquette. He didn't even want to wait for the guards who went to report. The two guards had nothing to do.
We had no choice but to lead the ninja towards the main tent. When the ninja saw the two guards walking not fast, he jumped in a hurry. Only when he saw the outline of the main tent, he ran over like crazy.
"What's wrong?" Hashiba Hidenaga, who was left behind, saw the ninja in such a hurry and asked hurriedly.
"Where is your highness? I want to see your highness!" The ninja actually ignored Hideucha Hashiba's words and shouted directly.
"Your Highness has gone to the front line to take charge. I am the only one here. If you need anything, please tell me quickly!" Hashiba Hidenaga was not angry when he saw this, but gave the ninja good words, "If it is an emergency military situation, you can tell me!"
"
"Over there!" The ninja suddenly turned around, pointed in the direction of the northwest mountain road, and said incoherently, "The enemy is coming over there!"
"What?" Hashiba Hidenaga was stunned when he heard this. The direction the ninja pointed to was the middle road in the Rokko Mountains - the direction where the Sanyodo Army was supposed to make a surprise attack. But that road was difficult and dangerous, and even people like Oda Nobunaga
The madmen were not sure which way they would take to launch a surprise attack. How could the Miyoshi-Maori coalition forces come from that way?
"How many people?" Hideuchi Hashiba forced himself to calm down and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know. I rushed over immediately after I saw someone coming!" The ninja gradually calmed down and reported to Hashiba Hideuchi while panting, "I don't know how many people came."
"The roads there are narrow and the transportation capacity is very limited. It is estimated that it can only supply 1,000 soldiers." Hashiba Hidenaga asked his attendants to prepare horses for him. He wanted to go to the hill to see it in person, and ordered another messenger, "
It shouldn’t be a big problem, it might be the Miyoshi-Maori coalition’s mobile raiding team. But in any case, I’d better inform His Highness and let him prepare in advance.”
Hidenchaga Hashiba took several guards and rode their horses to a hill next to the Hashiba Army camp to see clearly the deployment there. However, there were too many mountains on the middle road of Rokko Mountain, and it was impossible to see everything clearly from here. So,
, Hideuchi Hashiba came to another high slope with a better view - and then he was dumbfounded.
It's over.
I saw that the mountain road in the middle of the Rokko Mountain area was full of flags from Shihe Icun Sanki.
Everyone has already put on their armor, and all those who came are combat soldiers. There are no auxiliary soldiers at all. They probably only brought a small amount of food with them. This way of fighting through the Liujia Mountains is to go without return and attack with all your might.

"What?" The first information Hideyoshi received was Hideyoshi Hideyoshi telling him that "it's not a big problem." The second piece of information that came to hand was that nearly 3,000 Sanuki soldiers were crossing the Rokko Mountains.
, will soon arrive outside the camp of Yu Chai Army. Yu Chai Army was originally cleaning up the Araki Army behind him, but he didn't want the enemy on the other side of the mountain in front of him to pounce on him like a mad dog.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over." After Hashiba Hideyoshi reacted from the initial trance, he immediately realized that the situation was beyond control. All his troops were scattered to various places, and they spread out their formations to fight against the Araki army. Right now
If you want to get them out of contact with the Araki Army and transfer them back to the main camp, no matter how much time you have, you can't do it. But the Sanqi people of Shihe Yitong will not give him so much time.
.
When Hideyoshi thought of this, he felt his hands start to tremble. At present, Hashiba's army was alone in the middle of the mountain. On the way back, Araki Murashige's camp was erected. Tokawa Issun was coming from behind, and the reinforcements could not get through for a while.
Come, and the troops cannot gather together, they are facing an attack from two sides and are about to be completely destroyed. The desperate fact makes him almost collapse, and even the thought of committing seppuku appears in his mind.
"It's over in the north...it's too late to withdraw..." Hashiba Hideyoshi withstood the huge pressure and tried to clean up the mess. He ordered his subordinates in a deep voice, "Let Shoji, Chinobu, and Katsutaka lead their troops to break away from the Araki army, and then go their separate ways.
Retreat, don't worry about the main army in the north, they can run as far as they can."
"Let Koichiro (Hideyoshi Hashiba) disband the auxiliary soldiers in the camp and let them escape on their own. We haven't regained our retreat yet, so we can't retreat with the auxiliary soldiers." Hideyoshi Hashiba took a deep breath.
A second order was issued.
"Leave my horse seal here...to attract the attention of the Sanuki people and the Araki army." Hashiba Hideyoshi made the third decision, and then grabbed Miyata Koji who was standing next to him, "Kihachi, you
Take your trusted guards and run with me."
"Ah? We've all left, who will command the remaining northern troops?" Miyata Mitsuji was shocked when he heard this.
"There is no one to direct them." Hideyoshi Hashiba shook his head, "Leave them here as bait, just a little longer."
"What? Your Highness, are you abandoning the army and fleeing? How can you abandon your brothers?" Miyata Koji shouted in shock. Hashiba Hideyoshi immediately stepped forward, covered Miyata Koji's mouth, and signaled to others.
A guard held down Mitsuji Miyata and said to the surrounding guards at the same time, "Don't let the news of my escape leak out! Don't tell the Ashigaru people about the imminent arrival of Tokawa Ichin! Otherwise, they will collapse immediately and there is nothing they can do."
Buy us time, and then we won’t be able to leave.”
"Uh! Uh!" Miyata Koji became more and more anxious the more he listened, and even burst into tears.
"Are we going to burn the baggage in the camp?" A Hatamoto couldn't help but ask, "The Sanuki soldiers are all soldiers and they came without the baggage. If they grab the baggage, there will be endless trouble!"
"Don't burn it. If it is burned, the morale of the army will be shattered. Once the army collapses, we won't be able to leave!" Hideyoshi Hashiba ordered very decisively, but Miyata Koji, whose mouth was covered by him, struggled even harder.
"Knock him out and take him away!" Hashiba Hideyoshi looked fierce and ordered in a low voice towards the guard. The guard swallowed, and then hit Miyata Koji on the head hard, knocking him out. A line
Following Hideyoshi Hashiba, he quietly slipped away from the rebel army and ran towards the mountains and forests.
After Hideyoshi Hideyoshi disappeared at the end of the mountain forest, the flag of Tokawa Ichin also appeared on the hill, rolled out from the Rokko Mountains, and launched a fierce attack on the Hashiba Army's main formation. Hideyoshi Hideyoshi immediately disbanded the troops in the camp.
The auxiliary soldiers escaped each other, and they themselves fled from the small road into the mountains. The Yushiba army, which was attacking the heavy camp of Araki Village in the north, fell into chaos immediately after seeing the enemy from both sides. The samurai tried hard to suppress the troops, waiting for Yushiba Hideyoshi's order. However, they waited for a long time but nothing happened
Without waiting, they all ran to look for Hashiba Hideyoshi under the horse seal, but found that Hashiba Hideyoshi had long disappeared. The leaderless Hashiba army collapsed instantly after realizing that Hashiba Hideyoshi had abandoned the army and absconded. The ashigaru, whose morale collapsed, fled or surrendered.
After that, the Yu Chai army who was still resisting could no longer be seen.
Before fleeing, Hashiba Hideyoshi sent messengers to the Oda family's North Route Army and South Route Army, informing them of Tokawa Ippun's surprise attack on the middle route. However, Tokawa Ippun's attack came faster than the messenger. Tokawa Ippun
The army gathered with Araki Murashige's troops, and had no intention of supporting Matsunagahide in the north. Instead, they went straight south-directly towards Hanakuma Castle. When the Oda family soldiers who stayed behind at Hanakuma Castle saw the army attacking from the north, one by one
They all have earth-colored faces.
