"Kuangnosuke, Ryuko, pack up the things, we are about to withdraw!" Yu Qiuping returned to the camp and immediately asked the servants to pack up the things in the tent. After hearing the order, Longzi immediately put the map, pen, ink, paper, ink, oil lamp and other things into boxes and bags. Since Longzi went on a war with Yu Qiuping, Yu Qiuping immediately felt that his living environment had improved a lot. Longzi, who was careful and considerate, took care of more people than his guards and kept everything in order. Yu Qiuping now is a little inseparable from her.
Although Tadao Honda is the captain of Yu Qiupi's guard, he usually does not do these miscellaneous tasks, as if he thinks that these are contrary to the identity of a samurai.
"Your Highness, why did you leave today just arrived the day before yesterday?" Longzi asked timidly while packing up the things in his hand.
"Because the enemy is coming," Yu Qiuping smiled and touched Long Zi's little head. "Thousands of enemies came to the west, all of whom were coming to Daoye Mountain City. If we don't leave, we will be blocked here!"
"Is it so scary?" Long Zi heard Yu Qiuping say so scary, and the speed of holding things in his hands suddenly accelerated, which made Yu Qiuping happy.
"Don't worry, as long as we evacuate Daoye Mountain City as soon as possible, they will not be able to catch up with us." Yu Qiuping comforted her with laughter and cry.
At 4:00 on May 20, 1563, the Oda family began to evacuate from Inabayama Castle. In order to leave Inabayama Castle as soon as possible, Oda Nobunaga ordered all troops to go south directly with marching formations to avoid being blocked by the Nishimino noble army in Inabayama Castle. Oda Nobunaga personally led his troops to evacuate as a vanguard. The Oda family's long, long, snake-shaped marching formation stretched for several miles on the official road, and during this period, there were also a large number of auxiliary soldiers carrying carts and shoulder poles.
All the temporarily built siege equipment was too late to transport back, and they were abandoned by Oda Nobunaga in Inabayama Castle. Due to heavy rain, the Oda army was unable to ignite these siege equipment when it evacuated hastily.
Before the afternoon, the Oda army arrived at Ghana City. At this time, the reinforcements from Higashimio also arrived at Ghana City and began to attack Ghana City. Sakuma Nobuma led his troops to resist stubbornly. The Higashimio reinforcements, which did not have enough siege equipment, did not have any good solutions for them. Oda Nobunaga was afraid of long nights and dreaming, and was worried that the Nishimio's wealthy coalition forces rushed to Inabayama Castle and chased them. Therefore, they did not choose to support Ghana City. Instead, they went directly around Ghana City from the west, went south along Nagara River, and evacuated to the fourteen areas in the south. He issued an order to Sakuma Nobuma that after holding on for a period of time, they could abandon the city and retreat and follow the main force.

At about three o'clock, on a hill in the West Light Sea area of ​​Simeon.
A young man with a handsome face was standing at the top of a pavilion on the top of a mountain, holding an oil-paper umbrella, quietly listening to the rhythmic sound of raindrops falling on the umbrella.
Suddenly, the rhythm of the sound of raindrops suddenly became chaotic, and the umbrella in his hand shook slightly.
The wind is blowing.
"Master Takenaka," a servant behind him walked out of the pavilion, "It's wind blowing, do you want to go back to the pavilion?"
"No need." Takenaka Shigeji shook his head gently and continued to look at the vast plain.
The wind rises, and eight formations come out.
The good show is about to begin.

Before the fifth hour, Oda Nobunaga received a report that the defenders in Inoguchi Castle had already moved south from Inoguchi Town, carrying a large number of siege equipment to attack Ghana City and pursue the retreating Oda Army. Oda Nobunaga understood that the Simeino rich coalition forces had probably arrived near Inogachi Castle, so that Saito Ryuki would launch an attack with such confidence. Oda Nobunaga asked Sakuma Nobumo to lead his troops to evacuate Ghana City immediately to avoid being surrounded and suppressed by the 7,000 troops of Simeino. Oda Nobunaga, who was worried about being caught up in Mino, also ordered the troops to speed up the marching speed. The marching teams were dragging longer and longer, and the distance between the troops became wider and wider.
However, to everyone's surprise, just when Oda Nobunaga's former army arrived at the fourteen areas on the east bank of the Nagara River and was about to continue to move south, after a hill on the west bank of the Nagara River, a Saito family army suddenly ran around! They had already formed a formation and completed the crossing of the river from two bridges on the Nagara River, and rushed towards Oda Nobunaga's army! Judging from the banner, it was Naomoto's army, one of the three Simino people!
"There is an ambush!" Oda Nobunaga was shocked and actually encountered an ambush from the Simino family here! They came from afar, and their understanding of geography was far inferior to that of these Mino local nobles, and it was inevitable that they would be ambushed. However, his subordinates were all lined up on the official road and maintained the shape of marching. The auxiliary soldiers were mixed together, and most of the armor of the soldiers was installed on the auxiliary soldiers' carts and shoulder poles, which was too late!
The Oda family's footmen were hurriedly wearing armor to fight. Before they could complete the formation, the Saito family's army rushed forward. The Naomoto's army had a total of 500 soldiers, and they rushed straight into the Oda army. The Oda family's thin marching line was too long and could not cope with the attacks on the flanks. The team was cut off from the center at once. Oda Nobunaga himself happened to be on the south side of the cut off position and suddenly lost contact with the troops of the various Oda family's retainers following him! The Oda family's army, who had lost contact with the commander, suddenly fell into panic.
"What's going on in front!" Yu Qiuhei, who was in the central position, could only see the position of the front army in the south. The Naomoto of the clan family and the papaya flag of the Oda family intersected. He couldn't help but shouted in surprise: "Simino's noble family should go to support Inaba Mountain! Why are there ambush here!"
Before he finished speaking, a huge commotion came from the bridge in the northwest. Yu Qiuhei turned around in surprise and saw that the Saito family troops were shaking on a bridge in the northwest. It was the banner of the Saito family troops not breaking through the small hillside. At this moment, a preparatory team that was arranged was circling from behind the small hillside. At this moment, it was passing through the bridge on the Nagara River and heading towards the rear army of the Oda family, Hiroki Ikeda! Hiroki Ikeda's original mission was to escort the baggage. At this moment, all the soldiers basically maintained a marching formation. No one was wearing Domamaru, and the head was mixed with grain trucks, auxiliary soldiers and a large number of pots and pans, and they were unable to resist at all!
"Chang Panbei! Arrange the array immediately!" Yu Qiuping gave a hurried order. Chang Panbei's footmen had already put their equipment on their bodies because of insufficient auxiliary troops, but at this moment they had the convenience. They left the official road from the west and came to the wasteland west of the official road. With a skillful queue change, they immediately completed the array. Yu Qiuping didn't say much, and immediately left the central army and rushed towards the rear army to rescue Hiroki Ikeda.
When the baggage team of the Oda family's rear army saw the fierce Saito family army killing towards the unarmed them, many of them immediately scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing towards the safe southeast direction. Bubo Kuji was not polite, and immediately sent his cavalry team to chase and drive away the auxiliary soldiers who fled in a panic. Ikeda Hengxing's troops were defeated by the deserters and were about to be defeated by Bubo Kuji without any ability to fight back. In the critical moment, Changbanbei arrived in time. 400 soldiers lined up neat gun arrays and went to the flanks of Bubo Kuji's troops. Bubo Kuji was surprised that Yu Qiuhei's troops could make such rapid adjustments to the battle formation. He did not dare to neglect them, so he had to give up the pursuit of Ikeda Hengxing's troops and instead face Yu Qiuhei's troops.
The troops that Bubang's family are indeed rumored that Xi Mino, a powerful force that dared to fight, actually resisted Changbanbei's offensive for a while. Yu Qiuhei's counterattack won precious time for Ikeda Hengxing. He hurriedly relied on the official road to arrange the formation, preparing to attack Wu Qiuhei's troops with Yu Qiuhei's troops.
However, before Ikeda Hengxing started to take action, smoke and dust immediately rose on the official road to the north. Yu Qiuping looked around and immediately saw that it was the banner of Ando Mojitsu who came to pursue him! The heavy rain seriously affected his vision, so that the two ambushed troops had not been discovered for a long time. The Saito family troops from the north had approached such a close distance. Ikeda Hengxing had just noticed it. The army was crowded with people, estimated to have nearly 2,000 people, six or seven hundred warriors, and the weak Ikeda Hengxing had only 400 people, and more than one hundred warriors were not opponents at all. As soon as the battle was fought, he immediately fell into a disadvantage!
Yu Qiuhei felt something was wrong! Because Ando Momoji's troops came from Inabayama Castle! He was likely to follow the main force of the Nishimino rich coalition forces who had gone to rescue Inabayama Castle before! Seeing this, he immediately ordered his troops to increase their offensive, intending to defeat the Bupoji troops before the army arrived, and then immediately cover Ikeda Hiroki to retreat together.
However, the defeat of Yokohiko Ikeda's troops was faster than he thought! Ando Mori quickly commanded the troops to double-team the fragile wings of Yokohiko Ikeda from the right side of the official road, and defeated Yokohiko Ikeda's front line in one fell swoop. Yokohiko Ikeda's troops collapsed and fled to the south of the official road!
His retreat was a big deal. As the pursuit of Ando Masato continued to move south, the flank of Takababa who fought against the Fukuji army on the west side of the official road and the flank of Takababa who fought against the Fukuji army would also be exposed. Yu Qiuhei hurriedly ordered the Mizuao Atomic Sutra, and Mimaezaki Nakahide's platoon immediately adjusted the queue and turned to the right to block Ando Masato's side attack. However, Yu Qiuhei's situation was already extremely dangerous at this moment, and he was surrounded on the west side of the official road and in the narrow area on the east bank of Nagara River. Ando Masato's troops seemed to try to detour to the south side of Yu Qiuhei and completely encircle Yu Qiuhei here!
Yu Qiupi did not dare to be too strong, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to lean against the river and set up a semicircular formation, covering the auxiliary soldiers and cavalry inside the center of the circle, and fighting and retreating. Ikeda Hengxing seemed to have noticed Yu Qiupi's danger, and personally led dozens of war soldiers who could still mobilize to launch a counterattack towards Ando Matsushima where the horse seal was - this moved Yu Qiupi, but it was a drop in the bucket. Ando Matsushima immediately transferred a hundred warriors and their cavalry teams to surround them, and Ikeda Hengxing was also in a desperate situation. His dozens of people were even more embarrassed than Yu Qiupi's troops, and Ikeda Hengxing himself was in danger of being challenged.
However, Ikeda Hengxing's decisive assault made Ando Bei's lineup a little loose! If Changbanbei wants, he can now forcefully break out from the south side!
Chapter completed!
