As soon as he saw Yu Qiupei in the Daoi Castle Castle, Mitsuhide Akechi immediately stepped forward, bowed deeply, and whispered apologetically: "Momiji! I'm so sorry! I was so late that it almost caused a disaster.
Woe!"
"What happened?" After all, the battle has been won. Yu Qiuping has no intention of complaining at this moment. He is just curious about what happened on the mountain road to the east. According to the original plan of Yu Qiuping and Akechi Mitsuhide, Yu Qiuping will take a detour.
A surprise attack on the Daijing Plain from the south cut off the food route and return route of the Sanin Allied Forces. When the Sanin Allied Forces returned to the division, Akechi Mitsuhide followed them all the way to the Daijing Plain, and attacked Yu Qiupei from both sides. However, in
In the Battle of Inai, Akechi Mitsuhide's troops never arrived on the battlefield. It was the Hongye Army that single-handedly defeated the Sanin Allied Forces.
"I was careless and fell into an ambush." Mitsuhide Akechi shook his head in self-blame and sighed in annoyance, "After the Sanin Allied Forces retreated, I immediately chased after them. But I never thought about Akai Naomasa and Tenui.
Jiaye set up an ambush, and when I was rounding the foot of a mountain, I suddenly turned over and struck. Caught off guard, the front army collapsed. It took me a long time to organize the troops, and I wanted to send an envoy to notify Hong Ye, but the road in front was completely blocked by the mountain.
The Yin Alliance Army was sealed. I had no choice but to rush over with my flag. As a result, I arrived earlier than the messenger I had detoured."
"Then are you crazy too? If they set up another ambush on the road, what can your more than a hundred guards do? Don't you have to take your own life?" Yu Qiuping was frightened and broke into a cold sweat when he heard this, "You are risking your life.
Huh? Why are you working so hard?"
"Because of my mistake... Hongye was forced into danger, how could I survive alone?" Mitsuhide Akechi said urgently, then his voice suddenly weakened, and his face turned slightly red, "And... I..."
"What's wrong?" Yu Qiuping asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Mitsuhide Akechi pursed his lips and shook his head quickly.
"Ah, never mind, this is a big victory anyway. Your lateness is just the right time." Yu Qiuping put his arms behind his head nonchalantly and stretched himself comfortably, "If you had come earlier,
The Shanyin Allied Forces did not dare to fight us in a decisive battle. They had already retreated to Daojing City, and it would be even more troublesome for them to fight. Now, it's better. They thought they had a chance to defeat me, so they tried their best, but we ended up taking the blame.
"
"Where are the prisoners?" Mitsuhide Akechi recalled the spectacular scene at the end of the battle - the endless line of prisoners.
"The Ashigaru are all detained in the castle town. It is expected that some of them will escape tonight, but we don't have that many people to watch them." Yu Qiuping gave a helpless smile, "The samurai are all locked up in the samurai's house in Honmaru.
Those high-ranking samurai are all locked up in the castle tower."
"The Isshiki family has collapsed." Yu Qiupei pointed to the room where senior samurai were detained on the bottom floor of the castle tower. "The main force is gone. Isshiki Yomichi, Isshiki Manshin and his son were both arrested. Important members of the family include Inatomi Yunao.
Everyone inside was captured. The only one left in Tango who can control the situation is Isshiki Yoshimichi's younger brother Isshiki Yoshikiyo, and he may not even be able to gather 1,000 men now."
"The Hatano family is almost done." Mitsuhide Akechi recalled the scene when he inspected the prisoners. "Akai Naomasa, Araki Tsuna, Ashida Kunizumi and other important ministers were all captured, and the main force was completely exhausted. Except for the defeated army of Adachi Moto's assistant, eight
It is estimated that there are only 1,000 Hatano brothers left in the upper city."
"Next, I'm going to take care of the mountain masters." Yu Qiuping smiled and turned to the north, looking in the direction of Sonobe City, "beat the drowned dog and take care of those guys."
·
In the early morning of March 8, the Oda army set out from Inai Castle and attacked Sonobe Castle, 20 miles northeast.
"Oh my God, you don't even need to rest?" Standing at the top of the city, Yamana Yutoyo, Otagaki Terunobu, Adachi Motosuke and others looked at the Oda army pushing siege equipment towards them, all of them had earthy faces. Yesterday,
Under the planning of Akai Naomasa, they had taken the advantage tactically and besieged the Red Leaf Army with more than twice the strength, but were directly defeated by the Red Leaf Army. At present, their strength was only one-sixth of the Oda Army, and they were defeated by the Red Leaf Army.
Where do you have the courage to fight? Some troops have not even completed their organization and are unable to resist at all.
"Let's go, let's go, this city can't be defended." Yutaka Yamana panted and patted the bricks on the battlements, "Run to the west, retreat to the notice, and then we continue to run."
Yutaka Yamana, Kisuke Adachi and others were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled to the west without even daring to defend the city. Motosuke Adachi set fire to the Sonobe Castle castle tower in an attempt to hinder the pursuit of the Oda army. However, Yu Qiupei
He also did a great job. After discovering that the Sanin coalition forces were escaping, they took a detour and pursued them without even entering the city. How could the Sanin army march in the mountains as fast as the Hongye army? Yu Qiuping chased them all the way, and at the garden department
Ten miles northwest of the city, they caught up with the Shanyin Allied Forces again on the mountain road.
"Oh my god, the Red Leaf Army is catching up again?" Yamana Yutoyo is also 67 years old this year. Yesterday's battle and escape had left him almost to death. Now he has been running along the mountain road for a long time, and his physical strength and spirit are improving.
He reached his limit. Seeing the Red Leaf Army chasing after him from behind again, Yamana Yutoyo almost collapsed.
"Lord, what should we do now?" Otagaki Terunobu was also as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He saw the red leaf army's maple leaf flag chasing closer and closer, and the maple bird horse print flying high behind it was even more anxious.
Let him lose all his fighting spirit.
"Let those guys from the Hatano family stop the rear! We came to save them and ended up in this situation. Who will stop them if they don't stop?" Yamana Yutoyo was angry and anxious, and shouted cursingly, "Let's go! Go back to Tajima.
!I don’t want to be a prisoner like the guys from the Isshiki family!”
Before the Red Leaf Army could catch up, the Yamana Army abandoned the Hatano Army and evacuated. After Adachi Kisuke saw the Yamana Army's flag flying away, he was so angry that he cursed: "None of these old men can be trusted! He just shouted
If you want to evacuate, it’s better to just run away now! This Danbo is not their land, so it really doesn’t hurt to evacuate!”
"Form up!" Seeing that there was no way to retreat, Adachi Mojisuke had no choice but to form a defensive formation in a narrow place in the valley, hoping to block the pursuit of the Red Leaf Army - he himself knew it was impossible. Soon, he saw his
The opponent - the second company of Tokiwa Bei who broke through the Taniguchi with only 50 men.
After a severe beating, the Hatano army was completely disintegrated. Seeing that something was not going well, Adachi Motosuke took the lead and ran away. After escaping, he wanted to find a place to rest, but not long after he sat down, he was chased by the Tokiwabi cavalry platoon.
He was caught red-handed, but he raised his hands and surrendered in desperation.
"Sir, please do me a favor. I am surrendering and no more fighting!" Adachi Kisuke led his guards and knelt down on the ground, raising his hands high towards the chasing Tokiwabi cavalry, "Don't
Fight us! We won’t fight! His Highness Hongye is mighty! His Highness Hongye’s military fortune is prosperous!”
"Where did Yamana Yutaka escape to?" the officer of the Tokiwabi Cavalry Platoon did not respond to Adachi Motosuke's polite words, but asked directly.
"Over there!" Adachi Motosuke unceremoniously pointed out the direction of Yutaka Yamana's escape - he could have pointed in the wrong direction. But at the moment he hated the Yamana soldiers who ran away without saving themselves, and he still hated them.
He added a sentence harshly: "Sir, hurry up and catch up! Deal with them severely!"
·
Yamana Yutaka and others fled west with their troops, but they still could not outrun the Momiji Army on the mountain road, and were overtaken by the Momiji Army again. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yamana Yutaka led his guards and Hatamoto to abandon the army and absconded. The morale of the Yamana Army suddenly collapsed.
The entire army disintegrated. But the old Yutaka Yamana couldn't escape after escaping into the mountains. Unfortunately, he was chased and captured by the Military Intelligence Department ninjas led by Uchiha Aooka. Otagaki Terunobu was lucky. After the army collapsed,
He put on Ashigaru clothes and ran away, escaping the pursuit of the Hongye Army - there were too many big shots to catch, who had time to take care of a small soldier? Most of the last troops of the Sanin Allied Forces surrendered, and the rest fled.
In the mountains.
"I'm used to fighting elites like the Miyoshi Army, but I'm really not used to encountering these miscellaneous fish all of a sudden." When inspecting the prisoners, Takashi Mouri looked at the groups of surrendered soldiers and couldn't help complaining to Haesuka Koryu.
He said, "There must be too many people who have surrendered. In order to take care of the prisoners, Ming Dybei couldn't even come over. His Highness Akechi also left a bunch of people in Daojing City to watch the prisoners."
"It's too easy to fight." Hachisuka Xiaoliu also smiled bitterly, "We defeated an army of tens of thousands in a day and a half, and we also captured two family governors."
"Sometimes I wish I were facing a good player like Miyoshi Army. The fight was exciting and exciting. When I meet these people...well, I can't get enough energy." Takashi Mouri looked helpless at the top.
Like this, it made Haesuka Xiaoliu laugh out loud.
"Goodbye, Yoshihide Miyoshi almost killed our Highness, it was too cruel..." Hachisuka Xiaoliu pursed his lips and shook his head, "I still hope that every time I beat him, he will be beaten by these idiots.
fish."
"Do you think we can directly take down Tanba from the Hatano family, Tango from the Isshiki family, Inaba and Tajima from the Yamana family this time?" Mouri Takashi suddenly became energetic when he thought of this, "We are here
The Kinki and Miyoshi families fought back and forth for almost ten years before they took over the lands of Hanoi and Izumi Kii. They were still two small countries slightly larger than each other. This Sanin is really easy to mess with. After a battle in half a month, the four countries were captured!
"
"The Hatano family can only raise 1,000 people, and the Yamana family has even the head of the family arrested. The Isshiki family is better, not only can't raise 1,000 people, the head of the family and the young master are still here with us." Hachisuka Xiaoliu is also here.
He laughed boldly and said, "Let me tell you, we can divide our troops. My company will go and take down Tanba, your company will go and take down Tango, and let Zi Su's company go and kill Inaba Tajima. No need.
Others, we, Tokiwa Bei, can wrap up these four countries!"
"Why should I go to Tango, which is the easiest place? I also want to go to Inaba Tajima! Inaba Province Tottori Castle is a famous fortified castle, and I want to see it!" Mouri Takashi patted the bee unconvinced.
