Just as they hesitated, Charlie's archers fired another round of throws, and several of the black-clad men were hit by arrows again. He was simply well-armoured and did not receive fatal injuries. Only the man who had been killed by Charlie himself screamed and fell off his horse.

Sasa Naimasa glanced at the Sakuma family's team, and the left and right flanks were fairly stable due to the fact that Yu Qiupei stopped attacking. But the center has been defeated by Mizenzaki Nakahide's team and is deeply dented. As soon as someone breaks away from the battle line, they will be immediately killed by the stabbing of many people. Sakuma Nobumori and Sakuma Nobushige's generals also retreated with the troops in the middle of the road, and they were about to collapse on the whole line.

"I can't fight, if I get outflanked..."Sasa Naimasa swallowed his saliva, and turned away with the black mother-clothed people, covering the retreat of the friendly troops on the flank. On the other side, the beehouse Rylong also made the same move. Tsunebanbei advanced steadily under the command of Akihei Akihei, closely pursuing the retreating Sakuma army, mercilessly stabbing the stragglers to death. The central forces of the Sakuma Army collapsed the fastest, and they were the first to flee back to the rock in embarrassment. As soon as Nobushige Sakuma entered the gate, the army outside the gate lost command and fell into confusion, giving up resistance and fleeing towards the gate. The mother-robed people on both wings withdrew through the two side doors.

However, because the narrow gate was not enough for the army to pass through, a large number of Ashigaru of the original left and right flanks of the Sakuma army were crowded together, and they were blocked by their own people, pushing each other, and from time to time someone fell, and immediately a dozen feet stepped on it. The ashigaru struggled to pull it away, pulling down their companions in front of them, and squeezed towards the gate. Every time I take a step forward, I am one step away from the killing gods behind me. The sound of pushing, howling, cries for help, and begging for mercy were sandwiched together, making the scene even more chaotic. The Yuqiu family, who was chasing behind, ruthlessly harvested human lives, but no one was willing to turn around and resist.

Yasunari Fukushima, who was outflanked first, began to snatch control of the gate from the left. The Sakuma family, which had collapsed and was chaotic, was powerless to stop it, and it was about to be lost. In desperation, Sakuma Nobumori went into battle with an injury, so he had to order the gate to be forcibly closed, and the Sakuma family, who had no time to retreat, was blocked out of the door and forced to surrender to Yuakihei.

Sakuma Nobumori watched as the troops at home knelt on the ground in large numbers, threw away their weapons and surrendered, and the wound burst open again. He angrily scolded his younger brother for his improper command, "If there is a retreating general like me in command, how can I retreat like this..."

"Oh my God, how did you do that!" After hearing that the Oda army in the Zenshoji Temple was attacking, Asahina Taiheng immediately rushed back with a dozen cavalry. But by the time he arrived, the battle was over. Sena Toshi is under command and surrounds Zenshoji Temple.

"You have 3 killed and 10 wounded." Asahina Taihyung stared dumbfounded at the more than fifty corpses of the Oda Army placed on the grass, as well as the more than fifty Sakuma prisoners who were tied up like rice dumplings. "Just kill half of the Sakuma family?"

"Actually, in a head-to-head confrontation, only two dozen people were killed." Yu Qiuhei understood why the huge attrition occurred in the pursuit last year, "The others were killed or captured in the pursuit. ”

"Damn, the limelight of this battle has also been stolen by your kid!" Asahina Taehyung scolded with a smile, "You wait, in the next battle, your eldest brother and I will definitely be the first credit!" ”

While the two were talking and laughing, Sena Toshitoshi also completed the deployment. The baggage team continued to transport, while the troops of Sena Shitoshi, Asahina Taiheng and Yu Qiupei surrounded Zenshoji Temple. In order to prevent the black mother-clothed people from forcibly charging into battle, a large number of horses were also set up in front of the position. And the auxiliaries began to cut timber.

"Momiji, you played very well!" Sena Shitoshi exclaimed loudly in front of everyone, "Originally, with those forty or so stables, our actions were in jeopardy. This time, you turned the tide and defeated the defenders of Zenshoji Temple, making a great achievement! Turning our great crisis into our warplane! ”

After Sena Shijun praised him, everyone spoke out in admiration. In the midst of a wave of boasting, Sena Shijun walked up to Yu Qiuping and whispered, "Momiji, there were some pities just now. If you can attack the city in one go, even if you force the door directly, you can also conquer the chaotic Zenshoji Temple. Now that they have reacted and hundreds of people have begun to arm, it will be difficult for us. ”

"Yes, I saw that I had captured so many prisoners and won the battle, so I took it when I saw it." Yu Qiuping bowed his head apologetically.

"Don't blame yourself, you've done a great job." Sena Toshitoshi encouraged, "When the baggage team transports the baggage into Okabe Castle, we will be ready to build a new camp. ”

In the evening, a large camp in the northwest of Zenshoji Temple had already been scaled. Several rows of fences and watchtowers were also erected around Zenshoji Temple to thwart a possible breakout of the Oda army at night.

Smoke was billowing from the barracks, and the cooks in the auxiliaries had already begun to cook a simple dinner. Sena was still on business, and dozens of young generals gathered around the fire to brag.

"I'm not bragging to you!" Nakahide Mimasaki has been spitting on the stars and never stopped. He was standing by the fire at the moment, shouting excitedly, "I am the best in this battle!" I led the team alone and beat the Owari guys of Sakuma to the ground! Almost punched them through from the middle! ”

Mimasaki Nakahide's words caused a cheer around him, but Yoshioka Katsumasa quit, and he also shouted in a rough voice: "Play! Don't blow it up there! I'm the biggest contributor to this battle! Yoshioka Katsumasa patted his chest vigorously as he spoke, "It's my team, and at the critical moment, it only took a few breaths to change the team to block the attack of the Oda family's mothers!" If it weren't for me, the whole army would have collapsed! ”

Yoshioka Katsumasa's words caused another group of people to cheer, and the face-refuted Mimasaki Nakahide sneered: "Don't brag about you!" At that time, the battle formation change was obviously commanded by our adults personally, what does it have to do with you, a brainless person! The sarcastic tone was yin and yang, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Huh~~" The fierce news that Mizenzaki Nakahide broke out suddenly made the surroundings sound boos, and Yoshioka Katsumasa blushed and argued thickly: "That's also my good training!" ”

"Soldier training is also the main responsibility of Lord Amano, your subordinates can scare the other side, isn't it thanks to the weapons that the pro-soldier guards worked so hard to build?" Mimasaki Nakahide took advantage of the victory to pursue, hoping to defeat Yoshioka Katsumasa and win the first credit of this battle, "When the time comes, after the war, the work will definitely be mine!" ”

"Drunkard, stop drinking!" Yoshioka Katsumasa saw that he couldn't say anything but Mimaezaki Nakahide, and he pouted at Ogawa Yuto on the side, "You say, which of us is the same thing!" ”

"If you want me to say, it's me." Ogawa Yudong put down the flask and looked sophisticated, "How many times have you emphasized that the reserve team is the most important thing!" I'm going to use the reward money to buy wine and drink. ”

"Fart!" Mimasaki Nakahide immediately jumped up, "What are you fighting to kill the capital, you obviously fell for the opposite side's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" ”

"That's also an adult's plan, not me!" Ogawa Yudong was drunk, and without much thought, he unceremoniously sold Yu Qiuping, "As soon as the adults saw that there were black mother-clothed people coming out, they sent all my team over." ”

"It's rude to talk about adults behind your back." Charlie, who had been wiping his longbow, also opened his mouth, "Merit is what every knight desires, but shooting the other general's general is the greatest glory." ”

"What's the big deal about you shooting Sakuma Nobumori, that coward!" Not to be outdone, Asahina Taehyung shouted, "What is our mission this time? What is it? Well? As he spoke, he circled around the campfire, attracting everyone's attention before he said loudly and proudly, "It's grain transport!" It was I who opened the grain transportation channel to Binai Taehyung, and I am the one who has done it! ”

"Childe, you haven't made any gains along the way, and you're embarrassed to fight for credit?" Seeing that everyone didn't dare to compete with Asahina Taehyung, Sena Clan Yoshiro spoke up because of the equality of status, "Whether it's settling accounts, calculating money, or calculating credit, it's all about using data to speak!" Otherwise, I, who guard the battalion, will try to ensure the logistics supply of the army; There is also Lord Ao Ping covering the flanks, can he also do something like Han Xiang Xiao He? ”

Sena's words caused laughter, and Asahina Taehyung, who couldn't get off the stage, jumped to his feet in a hurry and shouted: "Then tell me, which of you took the more than 50 beheadings and more than 50 prisoners in this battle?" ”

"Uh..."The crowd began to reminisce, looking at each other, but they were all embarrassed and reluctant to speak. Charlie is very chivalrous, and he told the truth without saying a word: "Lord Fukushima outflanked the gate at a critical moment and captured the most prisoners. ”

"Speaking of which, what about Brother Ancheng?" Nakahide Omaezaki looked around, but he didn't see Yasunari Fukushima.

"Everyone is competing for merit, why don't you say a few words about your merit?" Yu Qiuping asked with a smile, "Everyone else stole the limelight!" ”

Fukushima Yasunari was leaning against a big tree not far away at the moment, smiling and frolicking with his partners, feeling indescribable satisfaction.

"My lord, I don't care about those credits." Yasunari Fukushima explained, "It's enough to see everyone so happy, and to see so many brothers safe and sound after a fight. ”

"Oh? You're 31 years old. Yu Qiuping sat down beside Fukushima Yasunari suspiciously, "Why are you so kind in the twilight, like an old lady." ”

"Haha," Fukushima Yasunari laughed when he heard this, "The adult said with a smile. ”

"I'm not kidding you, I'm really curious." Yu Qiuping asked, "If there is any dispute in ordinary times, you are the peacemaker." What good things are given to the brothers, and they never fight, why is this happening? ”

Fukushima Yasunari saw Yu Qiuping's serious tone, and gradually restrained his smile, and his expression became serious. The bonfire in the distance jumped, and Fukushima Yasunari's face flickered with the bonfire.

After a long time, he whispered, "My lord... Do you know the story of the surname Fukushima? ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly recalled that when Kondo Yasuso introduced him to the grievances of the Asahina family and the Okabe family, he mentioned the Fukushima family in the Hanakura Rebellion.

"It's... Is that the Fukushima family who supports Genhiro Meigan? Yu Qiuping suddenly realized.

"Exactly." Yasunari Fukushima's Adam's apple squirmed, and he seemed a little afraid to mention the past, "It's a rebellious family." ”

"I was only 6 years old when it happened." Fukushima Yasunari said in a deep voice, "The family's residence has been breached. The entire rebellious family was punished, all the rebels who participated in the rebellion were executed, and all the descendants were seppuku. The father of the family was a concubine, and because the father of the family took the initiative to surrender to the lord of the government at that time, he was lucky enough to leave a life in the next family and was demoted to a slave. ”

"I still remember that in the next hour, because he was the only child in the family, he was deeply loved by the family." When Fukushima Yasunari recalled the good past, he expressed deep sadness, "But when he was young, he was willful, and he was always very unfriendly to his parents, slaves, and elders and partners of other clans." ”

"Until that day, everyone was gone." Fukushima Yasunari seemed to remember something, and suddenly shuddered, "Under a big tree next to the execution ground," he patted the big tree behind him, "Leaning on the tree like now, I witnessed my former partners, uncles, and grandfathers being executed one by one." Not the glorious seppuku of the samurai, but the humiliating execution. ”

"Until now, I have always regretted why I didn't treat them a little better at that time, and didn't cherish the time we could spend together. It wasn't until everyone was gone that they came to their senses. Fukushima Yasunari smirked a few times, "Everything in the world that has a substance, and what is immortal?" ”

"So, I cherish enjoying this, leaning against the tree and watching my friends happy." Yasunari Fukushima said as he spoke, tears already flowing quietly, "What's the point of credit?" ”

Yu Qiuping was stunned for a moment and smiled admiringly.

"Different people are humble and retreat, meet with the generals, and lead the car to avoid the road. There are expressions in the advance and stop, and the military medium is neat. Every time they stop, the generals sit side by side to discuss the merits, and under the abnormal single screen tree, the army is called General Dashu. Yu Qiuping softly recited the evaluation of Feng Yi in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. And this quote of Yu Qiuping has also been recorded in the history books of later generations of Japanese historians as a praise for Fukushima Yasu's trip.
