"Your Highness, you have military information!" A few quick shouts suddenly came from behind Yu Qiuping.
Yu Qiuping looked back in a hurry and saw a few of his cavalrymen coming around with a horse from Imakawa Yoshimoto.
"But the order of Your Highness, the governor?" Yu Qiuping asked with his head up.
"That's right, please review the order arrows and seals." The messenger hurriedly took out the order arrows of Imakawa Yoshimoto and the seals that showed his identity from his arms. He didn't even dismount and gasped, and looked very anxious. After Yu Qiuping took them, he checked them a few times and then confirmed that the seals were very delicate and confidential. They would be replaced before each time they sent troops. Only the senior generals knew that it would never be temporarily copied by the enemy. He returned the order arrows and seals to the messenger: "Wuwu, I wonder what order is His Highness the Supervisor?"
"Your Highness Yuqiu obeys the order!" The messenger raised the arrow of Imakawa Yoshimoto immediately and said in a deep voice. Yuqiuping and the few people around him knelt down and bowed.
"Your Highness the Minister of the Family has an order. Yu Qiuhei's troops immediately broke off contact with the Oda army and retreated to the city of Xiang Zhilicheng and stood by! You must not pursue it without authorization!" The messenger said without doubt.
A shocking saying, the rain and Qiuping and the light feet around him were in an uproar.
"How could your Highness... the Lord of the Family..." Yu Qiuhei asked in disbelief: "The Oda army has fallen into a trap and will be completely wiped out by the front and back of His Highness Semei and I. How can we retreat at this time? Isn't this a great opportunity to let the tiger go back to the mountain? Is this a great opportunity? I missed it like this!" Yu Qiuhei said while pointing to the battlefield in the northeast. The defense line of Changbanbei was still motionless. The Imakawa family reinforcements on the top of the slope had already reached the back of the Oda army, and the Oda army was in chaos. As long as we continue to attack, the Oda army would be completely defeated in less than half an hour.
"Your Highness Yuqiu, you are just a small horseman. You don't understand what you say to you." The messenger said without being humble and arrogant: "What I know is that I come to pass on the orders of Your Highness the Superintendent."
"But! But why did you suddenly change your plan? This is this..." Yu Qiuping was a little incoherent for a moment.
"I don't know what the governor of your family is planning, it's just a command. Why, does Your Highness Yuqiu want to disobey your order?" The messenger saw that Yu Qiuping seemed unwilling to obey the orders and raised his tone.
"No! Just!" Yu Qiuping stumbled for a moment, took a few steps forward, and grabbed the reins of the commander: "Do you know what kind of situation did the Lord General of the Family make such a decision? Is there a misjudgment of the situation? Can you tell me! Your Lord General of the Family must have made a mistake!"
"Does Your Highness Yuqiu doubt the judgment of His Highness the Superintendent?" The messenger said coldly.
"I dare not, I dare not!" Yu Qiuping shook his head and insisted: "I'll bother you to go back and report to the Superintendent of the family. This shows that the situation here is really not supposed to withdraw troops now! It's a great situation!"
"The order given to me by Your Highness, Your Highness Yuqiu, is to withdraw his troops immediately!" The messenger said sternly.
"But..." Yu Qiuping wanted to say something else.
"Your Highness Yuqiu! Are you determined to disobey?" the messenger shouted in a low voice.
"I...I didn't!" Yu Qiuping was suddenly frightened by this momentum and waved his hands repeatedly.
"Then go and execute the order immediately! Let Chang Panbei withdraw to Zhili! Immediately!" The messenger said in a deep voice, and then the horse reins left Yu Qiuping and went to other Chang Panbei's quadrons to pass the order to stop the attack immediately.
Just when Yu Qiuping was at a loss, Amano Keidu suddenly came to Yu Qiuping and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Highness, the soldiers on the battlefield are in danger, and it is common for the command soldiers to be attacked." He said as he drew his sword in his hand coldly and stared at the command soldiers' back. "The master in front of him was unfortunately attacked before coming to the command, and His Highness Yu Qiu did not receive the order to retreat. I wonder what your Highness wants?"
"Jingde, don't do anything wrong!" Yu Qiuping whispered in a hurry, but couldn't help feeling depressed. He didn't know what Imakawa Yoshimoto thought. His previous plan was well stated, everything was going according to the plan, so why did he suddenly withdraw his troops?
Could it be that Minghai City is in danger?
It's impossible, the main 2ooo soldiers of the Oda Army are all here. Besides, in Narutoshi City, there are 13ooo people around Imakawa Yoshimoto! Even if the Oda family brings the remaining 1ooo soldiers to the battlefield, and gives all the auxiliary soldiers and weapons, they will definitely not be able to get 9ooo people. Imakawa Yoshimoto's opponent? How is that possible?
Just as Yu Qiuhei was hesitating whether to resist the attack, the troops directly under Seminyama and Imakawa family on the top of the hills suddenly stopped. Yu Qiuhei looked over from afar, and seemed to be a horse riding on a horse, holding something in his hand (probably a command arrow), saying something to the general Seminyama Toshi. After that, even such an elite and loyal army immediately became riot. It was probably because he had received the order to give up the good situation and retreat the entire army.
Just as Yuqiehei was hoping that the veteran Shin-shi Shin-shi could decisively refuse to accept the order and continue to attack, thus giving him the courage to disobey, the Imakawa army on the opposite side slowly retreated. Yuqiehei could see from a distance that many samurai were very dissatisfied with the samurai, but they could only honestly retreat down the hillside and return to the low-lying area. After a while, the banner of Imakawa army completely disappeared from sight. The siege of the Oda army also collapsed.
"Your Highness...what should we do?" Naoe Tadaehide swallowed and asked in a low voice.
Yuqiuhei looked at the Oda army in front of him and cheered for the retreat of Semeshi Tsubasa, celebrating his luck in escaping. Then, they fled northwest in a mess, and Sakuma Nobumo's banner also appeared on the battlefield, responding to the retreating Oda army's own team. However, Takababe was unable to leave the position to pursue.
If I give me another half an hour... no! Even two quarters of an hour!
Yu Qiuping's nose felt sore and almost burst into tears.
These more than a thousand Oda troops will be wiped out here! My plan will be successful!
However, the Oda Army, who should have been completely wiped out, was now retreating, as if they were afraid that the Imakawa Army would make a comeback. Their attitude made Yu Qiuping feel even more uncomfortable, because it was impossible for them to make a comeback. The messenger was still staring at Yu Qiuping's troops, and was very dissatisfied with their failure to retreat.
Retreat? Retreat? Why should we withdraw? Why! Why did the governor of the family issue such an order?
Once this is removed, the good situation will be ruined. So many efforts made before will be wasted. So many brothers died just now will be wasted. The death of the loyal and brave shadow warrior who voluntarily killed without even telling Yu Qiuping was also in vain.
The Oda army continued to leave 66, and Fukushima Ansei and others also sent a messenger to ask Yu Qiuhei what to do next. Yu Qiuhei sighed, burst into tears, and issued an order to retreat for the entire army. After seeing that the Red Leaf soldiers of Changbanbei retreated, the messenger seemed to have completed the task, so he rode his horse away. Soon after, when Yu Qiuhei evacuated the Tungsanami, the banner of the Oda family disappeared from the end of his sight.
"Your Highness doesn't have to be so sad." Naoe Tadaehira comforted him: "How can these less than two thousand defeated soldiers be the opponent of more than 4,000 soldiers in the main hall of the family? They still have only the entire army to be wiped out."
"I hope so."
At the 5th hour of Shin Toku, Yuqihei returned to Chirishi Castle. Soon after, Semena Toshi also led a team of more than 10,000 people back to Chirishi Castle. It took some time for the mighty army to settle down. Semena Yoshi and Naoe Tadaehei were sent to rectify the troops, and Yuqihei immediately found Semena Toshi. Semena Toshi was also frowned and looked solemn. He immediately entered the Tianshou Pavilion of Chirishi Castle with Yuqihei.
"Your Highness Sename!" As soon as he arrived at a place where no one was around, Yu Qiupi immediately asked, excitedly even his tone changed. "His Your Highness Sename also received the order from the messenger of His Highness the family governor! Let us withdraw our troops immediately!"
"That's right." Semine Shi nodded, "but I can only obey the orders with the arrows and top-secret seals from the home-government hall."
"Maybe the messenger is fake? I have never seen him in the Tianshou Pavilion!" Yu Qiuping asked.
"It's impossible." Semine Shishi shook his head, "Only people at our level are able to obtain information about seals and command arrows at the same time, and there is absolutely no possibility for the enemy to copy it. This is indeed the order of the Lord's Hall."
"The governor of the family knows our overall plan, everything is in our control. The Oda family is about to be wiped out. Why did the governor of the family make us retreat suddenly!" Yu Qiuping said loudly like a cannon, his face flushed and red.
"I don't know." Semei Shishi shook her head, but was not as excited as Yu Qiuhei. "I only know that the judgment of the main hall of the family governor on the battlefield has never been missed. The instructions he issued must be correct. He asked us to retreat immediately, and there must be his reasons."
"How is that..." Yu Qiuhei suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief. The anger and confusion in his heart gradually calmed down. No wonder Toshi Semei retreated immediately after receiving the order. This must be due to the incomparable trust in Imakawa Yoshimoto. In comparison, Yu Qiuhei did not seem to be so firm.
"Two His Highnesses." Suddenly, the voice of Xiaobashi Katsuki in Yuqiuping's cavalry team came from outside the door. "There is information from Minghai City."
"Come in." After hearing the information from Naruto Castle, Yuqiehei immediately asked Kobashi to come in. Kobashi Yasuhiro handed over an envelope and left the room. Yuqiehei and Semeishi Toshi opened the envelope, which was now the military information of Asahinatata. It said the deployment completed by the Imakawa family more than an hour ago.
Imakawa Yoshimoto himself, dozens of guards and a large amount of food and grass, has been escorted into Naruto City, which is stationed by 48oo people from the Okabe family. In the north of Naruto City, there seem to be signs of the Oda family's left-behind troops. While Okaga Castle is still stationed with 12oo people from Uetan. Asahi Naruto himself, with more than 8oo people from the exotic wealthy family, the official road leading to the Tuosakiji was arranged to cut off the Oda family's retreat.
"If we deploy this way, there seems to be no problem." After considering it for a while, Semeishi Tsubasa whispered: "The Oda family will still be completely wiped out, but I don't know what it means to let us retreat."
"Are you worried that the defense will not be stable?" Yu Qiuping guessed, "Are you still trying to consume more of the extra strengths of the Ii family and the Matsue family?"
