The 12,000 Tsugaru army, led by Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuki, retreated rapidly, and in order to completely pursue the main army of the Yanhuang family, they even abandoned all the food and grass that could be discarded, and fled with only some dry food.
The current situation forced Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuyoshi to pin their hopes on the Governor of the Ie, who believed that as long as the Governor could quell the rebellion of the Nangang Imperial Palace in time, they still had hope of victory in the face of the Yanhuang family.
The Nanaoka Imperial Palace is a fairly strong castle, and from the fact that the Nanaoka family has been able to survive under the pressure of the Tsugaru family and the southern family with this Nangaoka Imperial Palace, you can know how much manpower, material and financial resources the Nangaoka family has invested in the Nangaoka Imperial Palace.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the current governor of the Nangang family, Nanaoka Xianfan, was too timid and cowardly, the Nanaoka family, which had the Nanaoka Imperial Office to rely on, would not have been easily subjugated by the Tsugaru family, so Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuyoshi put their hopes on the governor.
If the Tsugaru clan faced an enemy not against the Yanhuang clan of Hakumine, but against the former southern clan, then Tsugaru's army might not be able to assess the rebellion of the Nangang Imperial Palace before the southern clan and regain the qualifications to confront the southern clan on the border.
It's a pity that the former Southern Family has been replaced by the more aggressive Yanhuang Family, and Bai Feng, as the head of the Yanhuang Family, will not give the Tsugaru family any chance to turn around, he will only completely eliminate the Tsugaru family with a single fatal blow!
The battle in the vicinity of the barracks continued, and the Standing Army of Quanshan Gukang occupied an absolute superiority in numbers, and in terms of combat effectiveness, it was no worse than the soldiers of the Tsugaru family after the break; however, there was still a certain difference in the fighting will of the officers and men of the two sides.
The officers and men of the Standing Army of Quanshan who attacked had already locked the battle situation, and the final victory was bound to belong to them, so it was inevitable that they would be a little slack when attacking, and they were unwilling to pay a greater price for casualties to achieve victory as soon as possible.
On the other hand, the soldiers of the Tsugaru family were the elite of the Tsugaru family who were ordered to stay by Hattori Yasujo himself, and even though they knew that they had no hope of survival, they still fought to the death with an unyielding fighting will.
The fact that the army of the five thousand Yanhuang family was unable to break through the defense line of the two thousand remnants of the Tsugaru family after the break, and the fact that it was in front of Bai Feng made Bai Feng have to be disappointed with the army of Quanshan Gukang;
The combat effectiveness of the Yamato Empire's army was indeed much worse than that of the barbarian warriors, especially the barbarian warriors who had undergone special training in Rome City were much stronger than the Yamato Empire's army, and the combat effectiveness of the two sides was not at the same level at all.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that the forces encountered by Bai Feng are not strong; the really powerful armies of the Yamato Empire are in the hands of the major top families; the so-called Southern Family, Tsugaru Family, and other families are still more than one grade behind those powerful families.
Not to mention how strong the Maori family and the Oda family are that dominate the Yamato Empire, it is the Date family that dominates the Higashiyamado Road, which is not comparable to the Southern Family, the Tsugaru Family and other families, those are the forces that really compete for the hegemony of the Yamato Empire.
If the Yanhuang family wants to grow into such a powerful force, it is only the first step to unify the Mutsu Kingdom, which has a vast land, abundant products, and a large population; how to give full play to the resource advantages of the Mutsu Kingdom and improve the combat effectiveness of the army is the guarantee for the Yanhuang family to be strong itself.
With the astonishing number of stones in the Mutsu Kingdom, the development potential of the Yanhuang family will definitely not be smaller than that of the Date family, and with the support of Rome City, even if Bai Feng is not in charge of the Mutsu Kingdom, he can ensure that the development of the Yanhuang family will not be restricted by other families.
According to Hakumine's vision, the Yanhuang family after conquering the entire Mutsu Province will be divided into three defense zones: the former southern family defense area with Sanhe Castle as the core, the former Shiba family defense area with Takasuji Castle as the core, and the former Tsugaru family defense area with Ishikawa Castle as the core.
Of the three core defense areas, the Hakufeng of the Sannohe Castle Defense District will be given to Nanbu Nobunao and his Nanbu family as the core development area of the Yanhuang family, while the Takasuji Castle Defense District will be given to Sanada Masayuki and his Sanada family as the southern barrier of Mutsu Province.
The last Ishikawa Castle Defense Area is naturally the northwest barrier of Mutsu Province, and the Uesugi family, which dominates Hokuriku Province, is a super family that makes the Oda family jealous, and the Dewa Province under their family rule is only one step away from Mutsu Province.
As for the Ishikawa Castle Defense District, which is divided by the Tsugaru family's ruling area as the core, who will be in charge, it still needs to be carefully considered by Bai Feng; Sanada Nobuyuki and Sanada Nobuyoshi, two brothers with good ability and potential, will not be entrusted with such a heavy task by Bai Feng for the time being.
On the one hand, it was because they lacked rich practical experience, and it was not a good thing to promote them too much, and on the other hand, Bai Feng had to take care of the internal balance of the Yanhuang family and not let the Sanada family have too strong strength.
Previously, Bai Feng's idea was to let Quanshan Gu Kanglai serve as the commander of the Ishikawa City Defense District, but his performance really disappointed Bai Feng, and the 5,000 Quanshan Standing Army, which had been recuperating for a long time, could not quickly take down the defense line of the 2,000 tired divisions, which was really a bit excessive.
Perhaps, in the eyes of Quanshan Gukang, who is accustomed to the fighting methods of the southern family, there is nothing wrong with the performance of the army under his command, but the Yanhuang family is not the southern family, and Bai Feng does not allow the Yanhuang family to have an army with poor combat effectiveness!
Military problems are not trivial problems, and this is also the problem that Bai Feng has always attached the most importance to; Bai Feng, who is strict with himself and lenient with others, is still relatively lenient with his courtiers who are loyal to him, but he cannot tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes on military matters.
Half an hour of slow marching allowed the army under Bai Feng's command to arrive at the military camp of the Tsugaru family army in the midst of fierce fighting; seeing that the main army of the Yanhuang family had arrived, the soldiers of the Tsugaru family, who had successfully completed the task of breaking the rear, did not choose a clan to continue to resist stubbornly.
The more than 1,500 soldiers of the Tsugaru family who surrendered voluntarily were all taken into custody by the soldiers under the command of Quanshan Gukang; in order to kill more than 400 officers and men of the enemy army, the officers and men of the Standing Army of Quanshan paid the price of more than 100 killed and 300 wounded.
Having the advantage and playing this proportional record, the helpless Bai Feng could only glance at Quanshan Kokang with his own eyes full of meaning, and then led the army to speed up the pursuit of the retreating army of Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuki;
Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuyumi, who were retreating at full speed, had already stopped their retreat ten minutes earlier, because the armies of Wendell and Kunohe Yasumin had already set up battle formations on the path they had to take to retreat, completely blocking their retreat.
In front of the Yanhuang family's 12,000 soldiers blocked, followed by the Yanhuang family's 14,000 soldiers to chase after them; Hattori Yasujo and Ogasawara Nobuki, who were unable to advance or retreat, were ready to desperately assault, and they would not choose to surrender to the Yanhuang family!
