"If you want to find a place with narrow terrain," Yu Qiuping naturally couldn't sit back and watch the troops being outflanked from both flanks. If that happens, even if it is a disciplined Chang Panbei, it will inevitably fall apart like the city of Yinma.

Just as he was about to order his subordinates to maintain a marching formation and retreat, he suddenly found that the situation was not very similar to the previous battlefield.

Because the movement speed of the Ichisuzu troops is too fast!

Yu Qiuping looked at the peasants rushing towards him one by one, and suddenly realized! The Ichizong troops are different from the traditional samurai troops, they don't have a so-called formation at all, so there is no difference in movement speed between the marching formation and the formation after the formation. The troops of Yixiangzong on the official road ran the fastest, and the fields on both sides were a little slower, and there was no one to coordinate and command at all.

Yu Qiuping's brows furrowed, and he suddenly realized that he might not be able to leave. The ashigaru people of Tokiwa turned around and left, and there was really no problem. But with so many auxiliaries blocking behind, their speed can't shake off the people of the Sect! However, these auxiliaries were all strong men borrowed from Oda Nobunaga, and if he left them and fled, he would definitely not have good fruit to eat when he arrived with Oda Nobunaga.

"It's a big trouble," Yu Qiuping glanced back at Anxiang City, which was only about 10 miles away from him.

"It's careless, it shouldn't be so deep at all," Yu Qiuping sighed, he really shouldn't underestimate these rabble.

"Order, let the auxiliaries immediately withdraw into Anxiang City!" Yu Qiuping ordered, "Chang Panbei stays and defends on the spot!" ”

"Yasei, Nakahide, the two of you are lined up on the official road, and keep the official road for me," Yu Qiuping rode his horse to Fukushima Yasunari and Mizenzaki Nakahide and ordered. "Thompson!" Yu Qiuping waved his hand again, pointing behind Fukushima Yasunari and Mizenzaki Nakahide on the left, "You take your two bow and arrow platoons and line up behind the left side of their two platoons." Instead of shooting at the enemies rushing on the official road, you can shoot the enemies who are roundabout in the fields on the left side of the official road and slow down their march! ”

"Shengzheng, Youdong, Ziping still has a moment," Yu Qiuping then shouted, "Take your platoon, follow me to the right side of the official road!" ”

"Faithful!" Yu Qiuping finally instructed, "Take your cavalry and stay as a reserve!" ”

A group of people on the central official road rushed to the front of Chang Panbei's formation, but the people who were standing firm and stabbed with their spears, and suddenly stopped the momentum of their charge. Generally speaking, no army will equip all of their ashigaru spears, as poorly coordinated spear formations can easily be passively attacked by the enemy. A well-trained and tacit Tokiwa will never have this problem. Although the two platoons of Yasunari Fukushima and Nakahide Omaezaki also added one-third of the recruits, they basically stood in the back row and did not affect the combat strength of the team.

These people, who had never seen such a battle, were also a little surprised after losing dozens of people for a while, and they couldn't help but be stunned in place, not daring to move forward immediately. However, the morale boosted by religious fanaticism is indeed staggering, and the miscellaneous fish and wealthy clan of Mino collapsed after a single stab, while these ordinary people were only shaken.

However, their delay blocked all the troops of the central government on the official road, crowded each other, and they could not advance or retreat. Those few officials of the temple were also unable to dispatch the rabble troops, so they could only count on everyone to adjust themselves.

On the west side of the official road, the archers of the Yuqiu family kept attacking the advancing crowd. The sharp feathered arrows were a great deal of damage to most of the people who were dressed in carcasses or cloth, and the women and children howled to dodge the feathered arrows, and the ranks gradually slowed down in confusion, struggling forward one foot deep and one shallow in the swamps of the fields.

The fields on the east side of the official road are obviously much easier to walk on than the fields and swamps on the west side of the official road. Coupled with the lack of interference from bows and arrows, these crowds advanced quickly, and soon caught up with the central front on their official road, and tried to outflank them from the right side. However, Yu Qiuping, who had been waiting in formation for a long time, immediately ordered the four platoons of Ashigaru to launch a counterattack. The standard-bearer struggled to swing the maple bird horse seal back and forth three times, signaling the four platoons to move forward and attack at once.

The right flank of the crowd was numerous, and the continuous front was several times larger than that of Yu Qiuping's four platoons. Yu Qiuping did not try to spread out all the lines to deal with it, but concentrated his forces and rushed straight to the root of the right flank. Where could the rabble of a crowd stop Chang Panbei's onslaught, and after a few hastily parrying, the battle line was pierced by Chang Panbei. The right wing of the crowd seemed to be cut in half and floated on the right side of the official road.

Seeing this, these ashigaru people came to besiege Chang Panbei one after another. Several cavalrymen even took advantage of the fact that Chang Panbei was exposing his flanks, and rode towards Yuqiuping. At the critical moment, Tadakatsu Honda stepped forward. He immediately slashed three people under the horse one after another, protecting Yu Qiuping's horse print. And Ryuko, who went to the battlefield for the first time, was not stage frightened at all, and helped Tadashi Honda kill the last attacker together.

After cutting off the connection between the right flank and the main formation, Yu Qiuping immediately took advantage of the confusion on the part of the main formation, and suddenly turned to the east collectively, facing the outflanking right wing of the group, exposing his back to the group of people who could not react. He personally led the men of the four platoons to rush towards the right flank of the group again, and beat the right flank of the group of people in a chaotic formation to retreat one after another, getting farther and farther away from the main formation.

However, Yu Qiuping did not try to chase and fight, but immediately turned around and retreated behind the subordinates of Nakahide Mimasaki and Yasunari Fukushima. At this time, the left flank of the crowd had already resisted the rain of arrows and rushed to a position only more than a hundred meters away from Charlie's archery. After Yu Qiuping let Charlie's troops shoot flat, he immediately withdrew to the diagonal rear, giving up the position to the main force of the four platoons led by Yu Qiuping.

At this time, the officials of Honshoji Temple sent their most elite 300 monks and soldiers, and led the crowd to rush to the troops of Nakahide Gozenezaki and Yasunari Fukushima along the official road, making the situation of their two platoons difficult. Yu Qiuping did not hesitate much, and immediately led the main force of four platoons to pounce on the left flank of the crowd that had finally rushed over. Exhausted by the rain of arrows and the farmland, they were no match for 200 Tsunekiwa, and were once again beaten and defeated along the same path.

After Yu Qiuping chased after him for a while, he once again ordered all his subordinates to turn left and face the direction of the official road. After the formation change was completed, 200 Chang Panbei soldiers launched a flank attack on the main force of the monks who were attacking on the official road. The officials of the temple, who were caught off guard, hurriedly led their troops to retreat to the southeast, and a large number of people scattered on the central front because they were attacked from both sides, and fled to the south. Yu Qiuping asked the cavalry team led by Anayama Noburi to drive the main force of the main force on the official road a little further away to prevent them from gathering their troops.

Yu Qiuping had no intention of taking advantage of the victory to pursue, because the number of enemies was too many, and those fanatical believers were in high spirits. The left and right wings had just been defeated by Yu Qiuping, and now they were already killing Yu Qiuping again. If it weren't for Yu Qiuping's concentration of four platoons to attack the left and right flanks respectively, two platoons of 100 soldiers alone would not have been able to win at all, and only by relying on the time difference could he barely win a victory.

The auxiliaries had already taken advantage of this time to run a long distance, and Yu Qiuping, who had gained time, immediately ordered Chang Panbei to change into a marching formation, run north along the official road, and quickly evacuate as soon as he slipped away.

"That rain and autumn red leaves, the defense is really powerful!" The official of this temple had a relationship with Yu Qiuping, who was the county representative of Bihai County in Mikawa Country back then, and after seeing Yu Qiuping's perfect defense and evacuation, he had to smack his tongue and admire. They chased Yu Qiuping's troops all the way north, but were stopped by Yu Qiuping, who was defending on the narrow terrain of two hills. There are a large number of troops in the air, and there is nowhere to start in the face of narrow terrain.

However, just as the official was thinking about how to make a detour back to the side of Yuqiuping's department, smoke lit up behind his side—it was the direction of Shanggong Temple and Katsuji Temple.

·

After that, it was a matter of course. The main force of the temple was held back by Yu Qiuping, and the main force was unable to rescue the allies of the Kamiyaji Temple and Katsutsuji Temple, who were about to face the attack of the 2,000 soldiers of the Matsudaira family, and soon fell one after another. A group of people in the temple were forced to retreat, but they suffered heavy losses under the pursuit of Tokiwabei, and many of their subordinates were separated due to poor command. In the end, Yu Qiuhei and Matsudaira Ieyasu were surrounded in the temple, and there were only more than 3,000 people left.

The siege lasted for several days, and there was no hope of victory. In desperation, the temple had no choice but to make peace in humiliation, executed several officials as the culprits of the incident, and asked Matsudaira Ieyasu to surrender. The privileges of the three temple guards were confiscated, and many temple estates were lost, and some of the estates and temples were burned by Matsudaira Ieyasu. Some of the retainers who were forced to participate in the Matsudaira family returned to the Matsudaira family, while some of the retainers led by Honda Masanobu chose to go into exile.

After the problem was solved, Yu Qiuping was about to return to Owari, and Matsudaira Ieyasu personally went to Zhili Castle to help Yu Qiuping practice. And in order to thank Oda Nobunaga for his selfless help this time, Matsudaira Ieyasu specially asked Princess Oda Nobunaga for his eldest son, and asked Yu Qiuping to help bring the news to Oda Nobunaga.

When Oda Nobunaga learned of Matsudaira Ieyasu's request, he gladly agreed to Matsudaira Ieyasu's request and said that he would send his daughter to Mikawa when she grew up. Yu Qiuping's triumphant return this time also made Oda Nobunaga very satisfied, and the remaining 4,000 stone territory in Yeli County was also given to Yu Qiuping.

Before Yu Qiuping returned to the territory, he sent an envoy back to the territory. Let the people who stayed behind begin to train a group of new soldiers to make up for the losses of this battle. And Oda Nobunaga's plan to build the city is also proceeding in an orderly manner. Although Oda Nobukiyo tried to harass him, he was defeated by Shibata Katsuie.

On May 12, Komaki Mountain Castle was officially completed. Oda Nobunaga issued a summoning order to the entire Owari domain, and retainers of all sizes rushed to the assembly place with their subordinates. The Oda family has assembled a total of nearly 10,000 troops at Kuroda Castle and Komaki Yama Castle, the home cities of Yuakihei, and the intention has been made clear - to flank the Inuyama Oda family from both sides.
