The few people accompanying him stumbled to the east in the chaotic night, and Yu Qiuping didn't know where to escape to be safe. Since the sudden collapse of the troops just now, he has been in a state of trance and has never been able to calm down and think. Perhaps, escaping to the north or south and seeking to escape to friendly forces would be a better choice?
Several people were mixed in the chaotic people, and they barely identified the direction with the bonfire and bright moonlight in the formation. Yu Qiuping's armor was soaked in sweat. After running for so long, he was almost breathless. This was the first time he had been here for two years, and had been on the battlefield many times. He was chased like a wild dog. His situation, the situation of the Imakawa family's son-in-law, the Generous County County, and the city lord of Zhili City, was much better than those people who were also running around? The only benefit was that he had an extra pair of armor that was almost indistinguishable from the burden when running.
During the great defeat, it seemed that everyone was running, but in fact only the people in the front could leave safely. In the unfamiliar terrain, it was difficult for most of the defeated soldiers to recognize the way. The people running in the front could see clearly, and the people in the crowd behind could only escape with the crowd after getting lost. It is very likely that they were actually doing useless spinning in place. After exhausting their physical strength, they could not escape the fate of being chased.
Sure enough, Amano Keito is from Toro River. He lived in Yinma City for a long time and was quite familiar with the terrain here. Under his leadership, everyone avoided the misfortune of getting lost in the crowd of night, but ran all the way to the northeast.
Just when everyone thought they had escaped safely, a "shout" sound of horse hooves came from the side, which shocked everyone. Yu Qiuping looked back and took advantage of the moonlight to see the man's face clearly - Yamaguchi Sonaga. Yu Qiuping recognized him, he was a close confidant of Okabe Motoshi. The more than 20 cavalrymen following him were obviously the horse chasing crowds who came to pursue. He was stopping several people who were escaping, pointing a samurai sword at the head of a commoner, and asked viciously.
"Hey. Have you seen someone wearing a red leaf shawl?" Yamaguchi Sonaga said sternly.
This loud roar directly woke Yu Qiuping up. He had no experience in escaping, but he did not even remove the eye-catching signs on his body. He hurriedly took off the shawl on his shoulders, carefully stuffed it into his arms, looked at the people around him, and took off the red leaves on his head together.
"Big... Sir." The commoner raised his hand tremblingly, pointing his arm straight in Yu Qiuping's direction - the latter was stuffing the red leaf shawl into his arms. Yamaguchi Sonaga looked along his arm and was just facing Yu Qiuping's eyes.
"There are there! Everyone! Gather! Yu Qiuping is there!" Yamaguchi Sonaga roared excitedly, and immediately led several pursuers from the Okabe family nearby. When Yu Qiuping saw that something was wrong, he hurriedly turned around and fled backwards. However, Yamaguchi Sonaga rushed forward with the cavalry. At the critical moment, Charlie was uneasy. In a dim and blurry night, he raised his hand and shot Yamaguchi Sonaga's seated horse. The horse barked and lifted Yamaguchi Sonaga down, blocking the pursuit of other cavalry. Yu Qiuping bought precious time, and everyone immediately pulled off all the weight-enhancing armor and squeezed into the crowd in the north.
However, before taking a few steps, a nearly 100-strong Okabe family soldier who surrounded him from the north came to kill him with torches, and happened to be blocking Yuqiuping and others' escape. Just when Yuqiuping was at a loss, more than one hundred troops with red leaves suddenly rushed out from the side of the army. They waved their spears and stabbed them with neatly, defeating the Okabe family soldiers, forcing them to retreat to the north.
"Your Highness, you have found you!" Fukushima Ansei came up excitedly, and the one who followed him was Yudong Ogawa. The two of them saved Yu Qiuping's life with their respective platoons and subsequent scattered soldiers.
"Your Highness, what happened before! Zijing, how are the five rows of Ziping and the others?" Fukushima Ansei asked Yu Qiuping, who was dressed in a mess.
Yu Qiuping felt a pain in his chest, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Everything was my mistake, the people washed us down. All five rows were finished, the front line collapsed, and the formation was taken away!"
Fukushima Ansei and Ogawa Yuto were all stunned when they heard this. The powerful Takababa position was completely destroyed so quickly. But now is not the time to care about this, and everyone immediately gathered together. With these two veteran platoons, Yu Qiuping felt much more confident. He took more than a hundred people to break through the northwest - it was the camp of the Asahina family, the most powerful, and fled there to rectify the troops. With the coalition forces in the other three directions, he could still have an advantage over the Okabe family!
However, things went against my wishes. Of course, Okabe Motonobu could have thought of what Yu Qiuhei wanted. He actually took the main force and cut off the connection between the Asabena family and the Yu Qiuhei family camp, intending to wipe out all the Takababe. When Yu Qiuhei saw that the retreat was blocked, he had no choice but to retreat. It was simply dark at this moment. Without a torch, it was hard to see others clearly against the moonlight and the bonfire. It was already very difficult for the troops to attack on a large scale, and Yu Qiuhei was not worried that the entire Okabe family would come.
However, again, Okabe Motonobu seemed to be a worm in Yu Qiuping's belly. Any of Yu Qiuping's thoughts seemed to be guessed by him. Just when Yu Qiuping led his troops to turn around and leave in the dark, a huge sound suddenly came from the Okabe's troops. Immediately afterwards, the torch that was extinguished by them during the attack was ignited again in groups of three or three, and in a blink of an eye, there was a fire. After a moment, the small area was illuminated brightly, and Yu Qiuping and the more than a hundred feet beside him had nowhere to hide.
It is a taboo to set up a torch in the dark... However, for the current situation of the Okabe family's "cat-catching rats", the torch will not bring much harm at all. Instead, they locked Yu Qiuping's position - not far away. The Okabe family's soldiers immediately began to attack Changbanbei's feet. Changbanbei was outnumbered and immediately retreated to the opposite direction under Yu Qiuping's command.
The advantage of Takabata having fewer people and fewer people is that it becomes more convenient to maneuver among the chaotic crowd and on the battlefield, and he also encountered the platoon of bows and arrows that had been lost on the way. The Okabe family's army, because the troops were too wide to spread horizontally, had to slow down when crossing the crowd. Soon after, Naoe Tadaehide, who escaped by chance, met with Yu Qiuhei.
The two armies chased each other, and the distance between the two armies became larger and darker. After Takababe left the lighting range of the torch of the Okabe family, the Okabe family immediately lost the pursuit target and had to stop reorganizing. Yu Qiuping had to face the difficulties of marching in the darkness. He asked his subordinates to take one after another, and the people behind him were on the shoulders of the people in front to avoid getting lost. Following more than a dozen people with mild night blindness symptoms, they would not evacuate quickly, and dead bodies and people who were still fleeing in a hurry could be seen everywhere.
After almost an hour of hard work, Yu Qiuping and his friends escaped to the complex hilly area southeast of Yinma City under the leadership of Amano Keido. They could probably escape the disaster temporarily when they entered. Just when Yu Qiuping thought they had escaped, they did not expect that there were sparks and flames in the originally dark hills.
At this time, the north of Yinma City.
"That kid must have encountered a situation! The Okabe family is afraid that they would break through while exchanging refugees!" After receiving the reward from the messenger, Taehyung made a judgment immediately, "Come the troops quickly and go to the East Gate to support!"
"Second Young Master, you can't be reckless at this time!" When several retainers saw that their second young master was on the head again, they hurried forward and advised: "The enemy situation is not clear, and it is evening again. It must be too risky to send troops rashly!"
"Where is the enemy's situation unknown?" Chao Nai Taehyung cursed loudly, "Okabe Motonobu uses my younger brother's kindness to drive the people to act like a fire bull, disperse my younger brother's formation, and break through the chaos! Hurry up and support! Or simply attack Yanma Castle directly!"
"This..." Several retainers looked at each other.
"Why are you standing there? Why don't you go and assemble the troops!" Chaobina Taehyung cursed again, and the retainers had to retreat timidly, but they didn't agree.
"The second young master is still inexperienced, and it is very rare to send troops at night." A retainer whispered after quitting the shogunate, "The Okabe family is obviously prepared. It is definitely not pleasing to us to recklessly seek reinforcements."
"It's just that the second young master's temper has risen, so we probably can't refuse. If the troops suffer losses, how can we explain to the family supervisor?" another retainer muttered.
"At this time, don't be too stubborn with the second young master." A retainer laughed, "When we assemble the troops, we will stumble a little bit, and then say that the wealthy families we are monitoring have signs of unstable after seeing the Okabe family breaking through, which can delay a lot of time. The second young master has nothing to say."
"After all, we don't have to fight for the thrifty family."
Soon, these retainers realized that they were thinking too much. They did not need to lie about the signs of unstableness of those families. The entire Yima Castle, the rich families standing in the Okabe family, were ready to move after seeing the Okabe family breaking out of the city. They followed the instructions of the Asahina family and did not listen to the Angami family, and stood firm in the camp, and they were very likely to watch for success or failure. Since Asahina Taisho and Semine Shin-shou were not on the scene, Yu Qiuhei could not command, so no one could make a decision to arrange the overall situation and stay.
