"Your Highness! This! Several heralds around Yu Qiuping were stunned and stunned, "What should I do!" ”

After a moment of stunned, Yu Qiuping already understood: he had no choice but to stick to it desperately.

The enemy was already two miles away, and it was only a matter of moments before he arrived at the battlefield, and there was not much time left for Yu Qiuping.

The area around the bridge is still very crowded, and trying to queue up to cross the bridge is tantamount to a dream. And if the whole army wades across the river, it will obviously be too late.

There was only one way left – everyone crossed the river from the bridge and the bamboo rafts – which would also inevitably disrupt the establishment and throw the troops into disarray. Because neither the chaotic bridges nor the narrow bamboo rows were enough to support the troops to pass in formation, they had to take care of their own river crossings.

Is there a choice?

"The whole army obeys the order!" Yu Qiuping said loudly: "Break it into pieces!" ”

"Fukushima Yasunari, Mimasaki Nakahide, you two let your subordinates board the bamboo row to cross the river!"

"Yoshioka Katsumasa, Ogawa Yuto, Charlie, take your four platoons, all of them as individuals, squeeze into the crowd of Asahina's house, and squeeze over the bridge!"

"Then you, with your men, squeeze out of the crowd on the other side of the river, and squeeze into the south to line up!"

The order was given, and there was an uproar.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you're not crazy!" Mimasaki Nakahide was shocked, "With such a deployment, everyone will rush over, isn't it just like the Asahina family, it will be completely chaotic!" Squeezing through the crowd, the formation and formation will definitely not be maintained! No one can find anyone! How to command! Didn't you run to the other side of the river bank to die? ”

Although several people around did not say anything out of respect for Yu Qiuping, they all expressed their protest in silence.

"Your Highness, at this time, you must not be kind to a woman!" Tianye Jingde said sharply: "Either abandon the brothers on the other side, don't go over and die!" Or..."A fierce look flashed in his eyes, "Order your subordinates to attack indiscriminately and kill the Asahina army on both sides of the river!" ”

"No way!" Yu Qiuping said in a deep voice.

"You go like this, it's no different from sending you to death! How can a scattered army line up to meet the enemy? Amano Jingde turned sideways in front of Yu Qiuping, "Please calm down, Your Highness!" ”

"We're not like those armies!" Yu Qiuping shouted to several ashigaru generals: "We have been fighting side by side and training hard for two years!" Don't you know the bottom of your mind about the discipline of our subordinates? Isn't it just to regroup the troops in the chaos! ”

"Tell everyone, after breaking up the whole and squeezing to the other side, it will be regarded as a sudden gathering after eating! Isn't it all a mess and the whole team will be formed in an instant! Yu Qiuping said as he turned over and dismounted.

"Your Highness! Think! This..."Amano Keitoku also wanted to persuade him.

"Execute my orders!" Yu Qiuping saw that the enemy was getting closer and closer, and he didn't have time to explain more! Without saying a word, he snatched his maple bird flag and squeezed into the crowd first, "People who believe in me!" Come with me! ”

Amano Keitori and Honda Tadakatsu sighed, didn't say much, and immediately followed.

Fukushima Yasunari and the others glanced at each other, and immediately ran back to their respective teams, calling on his subordinates to squeeze into the crowd like loose sand and jump onto the bamboo rafts in the river. Even the subordinates of the cavalry team tied their horses to the trees and squeezed into the crowd together.

At this time, Okabe Motonobu was standing on a hill five miles away, looking out at the chaos by the river.

"What is this going to do, rain autumn and red leaves?" Okabe Motoshin snorted disdainfully, "When the interruption continues, the situation is irreversible, and you still want to try to cross the river?" ”

"Didn't he cross the river like this, just to send people over to kill us?" Okabe Masatsuna laughed loudly: "It's here, it's also a chaotic team of scattered sand, how to fight?" It's just sending more than 300 people to kill us! Does he think that fighting a war is just about sending people over? ”

"Autumn leaves are always prepared, so famous." Okabe Motoshin looked at the maple bird flag that was squeezing over the bridge, and the red leaf soldiers who were densely squeezed across the river, and snorted coldly, "I will accept the red bird military flag given by His Royal Highness the Governor, I will accept it for you!" ”

At this time, on the Ezuma River, many ashigaru are trying to cross the river by all means. There are those who struggle to paddle with bamboo poles on bamboo rafts, some rush towards the opposite bank on the bridge, and some connect several bamboo rafts with bamboo poles to build a simple pontoon bridge and stumble across the river.

Finally squeezed through the crowd on the west bank, and after crossing the river, Quanquan had to be crowded with the Asahina family again. Tokiwabi's ashigaru struggled to push away the people in front of them, squeezed a crack out of the crowd, and ran south after the Kaede Bird Banner.

At this time, Yu Qiuping had already squeezed out of the crowd with Ma Yin and the guards first, and came to the south of the chaotic army. He planted his horse print on a small mound and began to assemble his troops. At this time, the Hao clan coalition army in the south had approached two miles away, but there were only a dozen or so people who rushed to the Ashigaru near the meeting place of Yuqiuping.

It is certainly impossible to restore the full system, and those who are walking slowly now have not been able to cross the river.

Yu Qiuping made a decision immediately and gave up the idea of letting the troops fully assemble just now. Instead, all the troops that had already arrived were grouped together and prepared to create a temporary platoon. He stood by the big flag, made a gesture of formation, and shouted: "Face me, form five horizontal columns, ten people in each team, and make up automatically!" ”

After Yu Qiuping gave an order, more than a dozen people who had already arrived immediately ran to him and stood in a row and a half. And the ashigaru, who arrived one after another, saw Yu Qiuping's gesture and immediately rushed over to complete the queue. The procession continued in a row and in a row, and soon the first fifty people to arrive were in line. These fifty people are all old subordinates who have followed Yu Qiuping for two years, and Yu Qiuping can call out the names of each of them, knowing that they are from different platoons.

Yu Qiuping glanced at the formation and saw the figures of Yasunari Fukushima and Nakahide Mimaezaki, who were running the fastest. He then said loudly: "An Cheng, you will be the platoon commander of the first temporary platoon!" Zhongxiu, you go out first, there is another task! ”

"Yes!" The two men saluted.

"How many people are archers?" Yu Qiuping asked again.

There were about seven or eight people who raised their arms with bows and arrows in the air. Yu Qiupei asked them to go out immediately, and Mizenzaki Nakahide was temporarily responsible for the assembly, and the infantry Ashigaru who arrived later continued to supplement the ranks.

"How many of them were Ashigaru before!" Yu Qiuping asked again.

Of the fifty people, seven raised their hands.

"Shisuke, Kihachiro, you two go out first! Add two more ordinary ashigaru! Yu Qiuping ordered again, "The five of you, in order, one person leads a class, and adjust the queue position by yourself!" ”

Under a series of orders from Yu Qiuping, the fifty people in the first row were formed. Although each ashigaru is not carrying his own subordinates, due to the unique systematic and standardized training method of Yuqiuping's troops, the passwords and establishment of each platoon are exactly the same, which is very different from those large and small wealthy families who have their own policies. In addition, everyone is a hard-working brother who was born and died together, and they are all familiar with each other. As a result, the Ashigaru chiefs could command these subordinates without much effort. Under the unified leadership of Fukushima Yasunari, the first temporary platoon immediately moved south to the hilly area to the south, relying on some of the fortifications left by the Okabe family and began to deploy defenses.

At the same time, more people are rolling out of the crowd. After Charlie arrived, Yu Qiuping immediately put him in charge of the assembly of the archery team. And Mimasaki Nakahide was called by Yu Qiuping to be in charge of the formation of the second temporary platoon. After the personnel and ashigaru heads were gathered, the two temporary platoons of Charlie and Nakahide Mimasaki immediately went south to support Fukushima Yasunari. At this time, the Hao Clan coalition army was already approaching a mile away!

The follow-up Ashigaru crossed the river in a steady stream and squeezed ashore. When he came, it was still chaotic, and when he arrived in front of Yu Qiuping, he was immediately arranged into a platoon. Yoshioka Katsumasa and Ogawa Yuto arrived later, both of them still wet.

"I rushed too quickly just now and fell into the river, it's really unlucky! If it weren't for Youdong, I'm afraid I would have to explain there! Yoshioka Katsumasa said scoldingly.

"Who would have thought you were so big that you couldn't swim!" Yu Qiuping scolded with a smile, "Immediately give me to lead the assembled troops and catch up with the front line!" ”

After Yoshioka Katsumasa went south with another temporary platoon, the reorganization of the group also entered the final stage. Due to the fact that Tokiwa had suffered some losses in the barrel saga, the last platoon was not full, and there were only about 30 people, led by Ogawa Yuto as a reserve. And the forty or so archers who were assembled after that were immediately sent to Charlie for unified command.

Now, Tokiwabi in the south has finished forming facing the south. From the west bank to the east were the troops of Nakahide Gomaezaki, Yasunari Fukushima, and Katsumasa Yoshioka. Each of the three platoons set up their own defenses on a small hill and gained a commanding position. Fukushima Yasunari's troops retreated slightly, assuming a crane wing formation. Yu Qiuping arranged both bow and arrow platoons behind the hill on the side of Yoshioka Katsumasa, away from the river bank, that is, on the left flank of the crane. He predicted that this would become the main point of attack for the place.

Whether it was Okabe Motoshin and Okabe Masatsuna, or the heads of the Hao clan coalition in the south, they were all speechless in surprise as they watched the completion of the formation of Joban. The advance team of Tokiwabi and Okabe, who had already begun to fight fiercely, also suspended the battle situation a little, and both set their sights on the side of Tokiwabei's main army.

"It's too fast... It's fake..."Okabe Masatsuna whispered incredulously, "It's less than two quarters of an hour... 300 men forcibly crossed the river in confusion and then regrouped. ”

"No, Tokiwabi is not reorganized." Okabe Motoshin saw at a glance the way Tokiwa was reorganized, "They randomly gathered fifty people and formed a team to meet the enemy." ”

"No wonder, what's the big deal about that?" Okabe Masatsuna let out a sigh of relief, "Regardless of the formation and formation, rushing over in a swarm, even those untouchables can do it!" As he spoke, he shook his fist fiercely, "I want to see how this soldier does not know the general, the general does not know the soldier, and the scattered army responds to the enemy?" The rain and autumn are flat, and the waves are famous! ”

"Nope." Okabe Motoshin whispered with a grim expression, "This is even more terrifying..."

"Look at Tokiwa... Does it look like a plate of loose sand? ”
