The moment Yiyin rushed out, these words came to Yi Yi's mind.
Before she could get angry, what happened next made her eyes almost fall out.
The army retreated, and thousands of horses were silent. The enemy's momentum was overwhelming. There was only a flash of white coming upstream, a beautiful young man on a horse in white, riding away with a spear.
Bai Yuzhi, red blood flower, chasing the soul with one shot.
Behind them, the two Maeda girls watched with fascination. The enemy's arrogance on the opposite side suddenly disappeared, and the battle situation instantly reversed.
Yiyin did not dare to stay, endured the pain, got back on his horse and left.
The warrior Hime on the opposite side stepped forward and picked up the dead body of Miyai Tsunechu on the ground. He was confused and didn't know whether he should continue charging.
The ashigaru who followed was panting heavily, and he couldn't lift his stopped steps for a while. It was as heavy as iron, and his determination to win was interrupted by Yoshigan's counterattack.
"Array, array, array!"
Yiyin returned to the formation, summoned the defeated soldiers on the left and right, and reorganized themselves behind the Spo people, just to reorganize them.
The Ji warriors who were brought back by the defeated troops also recovered and helped to regain their strength.
"Lord Yoshiyin! Awesome! So awesome! I was so scared that I almost peeed just now!"
Compared with the vulgar words shouted by Li Jia, Li Jia's eyes were shining with light.
"Yi Yinjun, you are amazing!"
"Let's not talk about this for now. Stabilize the broken troops and retreat slowly. Let's retreat! Hurry, hurry!"
Yiyin's heart was still beating violently, his adrenaline felt like it was going to explode, and the clothes on his back were soaked with cold sweat.
This desperate struggle for survival is almost suffocating. Now that the enemy has stopped, retreat quickly! Stop talking nonsense!
There were no wounds on Miyai's body at all, but he was hit by his attack and triggered a fatal blow.
However, there is no anatomy here, and the enemy will only die from internal injuries caused by being shot down.
Nobunaga, who was retreating, heard the cheers from the battlefield behind him. He turned around and saw that the enemy troops were motionless and his own defenders had formed a formation and were slowly retreating. He was overjoyed.
"What happened! Hengxing! Go and ask!"
On the side, Ma Huizhong wrote that Ikeda Hengxing sent someone to check, and the report was ecstatic.
"Your Highness, this is Mr. Yoshigan of the Shiba family. He captured the rebel advance guard general Miyai Tsunetada from the rebel army!"
The front line was in chaos, and everyone didn't know that Yiyin had taken a chance and waited until he was alone in Miyai.
Seeing that the enemy army was unstoppable, Yiyin rushed forward to fight with one shot and captured the enemy's general.
This face is so bright that both the enemy and us can see it clearly. He is the most beautiful cub on the battlefield.
"Well done! Retreat ten miles to reorganize the army and ask Yoshigin-kun to come see me. Is Inuchiyo still in front? I have ordered her to temporarily act as the leader of the city defenders and lead the troops back."
Nobunaga was overjoyed. The defenders who had thought to be abandoned in order to survive had actually survived, and issued new orders one after another.
"He's dead...Miyai..."
Shibata Katsuie received the exact news and sighed.
Life and death on the battlefield had long been indifferent, but knowing that his old subordinate who had been with him for many years was gone like this, he still couldn't help but feel sad.
"Shiba Yiyin? Who is she? The Jishi warrior of the Shiba family?"
"I know this person. His Highness Oda Nobunaga came to my house to provoke the boy I brought."
Lin Jutong on the side said.
"Young man? Is he a man?"
Shibata Katsuie was stunned.
"Shibata-sama, have you ever heard of the oath of seven hardships and eight hardships?"
"Is he the man who vowed to revive the family? Yes, I remember, it's the Shiba family."
Shibata Katsuie thought of that rumor, with admiration in his eyes.
She was not angry at Shiba Yigen because of Miyai's death. There were mothers and daughters fighting each other on the battlefield, each serving his master and receiving rewards from the public. She was used to seeing traditional warriors like her.
"The Wu family is an amazing man. The Sibo family has really raised a good son."
"Shibata-sama, what should we do now?"
Lin Gutong was not in Shibata's sighing mood, so she asked anxiously.
"What's the rush? Cross the river as planned. The enemy has retreated and our goal has been achieved.
Next is the decisive battle on the plains. We have 1,700 elites, but the opponent only has 600 to 700 new recruits. What are you worried about?"
While talking to Lin Gutong, Shibata looked into the distance, really wanting to see this strange man with his own eyes, if he could survive this battle.
After retreating ten miles to stabilize their position, the Li family was ordered to reorganize the defenders and fight again.
Since his interests needed to maintain Shiba Ashigaru, Yoshigami could only go to the shogunate alone after Toshiie carefully bandaged his wounds.
A simple tent was used as a barrier, and Nobunaga's military flag and horse seal were placed in the formation to complete a simple shogunate.
When Yiyin arrived, there was a heated discussion inside the curtain.
"The number of Shibata's troops can be basically determined from previous battle observations, and it is about 1,700 troops.
Look at the flag, Shibata’s reserve team is here, there are 1,000 people, and the Lin family and Nobuyuki’s reserve team is about 700 people.”
As a military commander, Niwa Nagahide collected the items for the general and explained the opponent's information.
"With the same number of samurai Ashigaru, they are no match for Shibata's army. They are veterans who have followed their ancestors for many years. In a head-on confrontation, we are at a disadvantage."
It was easy to misjudge the situation by hiding things at this time. Sen Kecheng thought about it and told the truth.
"The rebels continue to lengthen their formation, forcing us to follow up. Either the formation becomes thinner, or they are flanked by two sides. The numerical disadvantage is difficult to avoid on the plains."
Hidetaka Kawajiri had the same idea, and his words at this time were very sharp.
"Master Maeda Toshimasa's reinforcements have arrived and can intervene in the battle at any time."
After hearing so much bad news, Nobunaga still didn't react, but Ikeda Hengxing next to him told him good news.
After listening to Nobunaga's words last night, only he knew that Nobunaga would never retreat.
"The Maeda family has only four hundred peasant soldiers, and they have traveled a long distance, so neither their fighting will nor their physical strength is guaranteed."
Sen Keguo retorted decisively. What use could the farmers and soldiers be used for? Like the previous defenders, they would probably be defeated in a short period of time and be driven back by the enemy to attack their own lines.
"But our army is obviously at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If there are not enough manpower to fill the front, Shibata will continue to use the method of pulling the formation to deal with us."
"It is unimaginable to rely on peasants and soldiers."
Everyone seemed to be discussing, but their opinions pointed to the fact that there was no chance of winning this battle.
"It's better to retreat to Qingzhou City and look for opportunities to fight again."
Gritting his teeth, Niwa Nagahide said what everyone wanted to say to Nobunaga, and then his body froze waiting for Nobunaga's answer.
No one could guess Nobunaga's temper. After discussing it for a long time, he just gave Nobunaga an analysis of the facts. At this time, everyone was waiting for Nobunaga's answer, and the shogunate was quiet.
"Nonsense!"
Yiyin, who had been listening for a while at the door, couldn't help but lift the curtain and walked in.
"This retreat is the road to defeat. We can still reduce the salary, change the title, and release you. Where is Your Highness? Do you have to sacrifice your own head?"
Yoshigan looked at Nobunaga. Nobunaga raised his head that had been lowered, his eyes were red.
Yiyin has no choice. The current situation will lead to defeat once the situation retreats.
Defend Qingzhou City? If you can't defeat it in a field battle, can you just defend the city? Expect the enemy to retreat in the cold weather?
This is not an invasion by a foreign enemy, this is a fight within the family. The other party surrounds Qingzhou, and the outside is calm and unhurried.
Everyone, come and see, this is the big fool Owari, who is afraid of death when his sister surrounds him in the city and dare not resist. Isn’t it shameful for you to follow her? Why don’t you change the governor of the house quickly!
"We, the martial arts family, fight against all odds and are rewarded by the public. We never care about strength or weakness, we only strive for victory or defeat.
If the war is just about comparing the number of people, and the team is elite, why do we need to wait for the samurai? The way of the samurai is to sail against the current and strive for the upper reaches!"
Angrily scolding the ministers, Yiyin was a bit over the top.
If I hadn't seen the red white haori on his body, I would have known that this was the male samurai who turned the tide before. A few warriors were taught by a man not to draw their swords and hack you to death.
It’s not that the direct ministers can’t see the consequences of retreating, it’s just that the odds of a field battle are too low. It’s better to retreat and wait for the opportunity, what if something changes? It’s better than rushing all over the place now.
Yoshigan was anxious. I only knew Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu about the Warring States Period in Japan.
Now the latter two don't know where they are, and they can only hold Oda Nobunaga's thigh. If you give up on yourself and hang here, what will I do in the future?
Why is Japan so chaotic during the Warring States Period? People in this troubled world are like grassroots. If I said before that my whole family would be killed, I would kill my whole family. If I don’t have any worries, I can even scare myself to death.
With Oda Nobunaga as a beacon, I can still look forward to a good ending in the future. I apologize and lick my knees. Now you tell me that you can't do it? Are you going to be a coward? You won't be able to mess around anymore?
What should I do? With so much rage in his heart, Yiyin couldn't care about anything else.
We must fight, we must win, whoever wants to retreat will leave! I will not retreat! I want to win! I will drink and eat meat with Oda Nobunaga!
"Your Majesty Oda, you said you would take over the world! I swear that I will follow you and revive the Shiba family! Now I ask you, do you still keep what you said?"
In the shogunate, the young man in white, Cuckoo, cried blood and couldn't make a sound.
