"It's too strong, there's no way around it." Yoshinobu Nakamura was clutching his bleeding right arm at the moment, and he hurriedly retreated to the rear of the formation. When Tsunebanbei began to launch a counterattack, Miyoshi Nagaitsu's troops, who had already suffered heavy losses, were unable to resist and soon retreated. Chang Panbei obviously suffered casualties, but as if no one was fine, he continued to advance after making up for the battle line. Any samurai who tried to lead a counterattack would be stabbed to death with a spear, and even if the gap was opened, the stoic Tokiwabi would immediately fill it. Nakamura Yoshinobu even had the illusion that the gunners who had made up for it behind the battle had better marksmanship than these pikemen, and the more pikemen they killed and wounded, the more powerful Tokiwa's gun formation became.

Miyoshi Changyi's subordinates had suffered nearly thirty percent casualties at this moment, and they couldn't hold their feet after being chased, and retreated in embarrassment in the direction of Miyoshi Changyi's horse print. Miyoshi Changyi felt unspeakably uncomfortable at the moment. He also understands that his military talent is not good, whether it is compared with the juniors of Sanhao Changqing or Shihe Yicun, it is far inferior, but after all, he has been on the battlefield for decades, and his soldiers are all elite generals. During the Battle of Kyoto, he set out from Xiangguoji Temple with a flank attack, and beat the Northern Route Army of the coalition army out, and the scenery was infinite for a while.

But now, in a frontal duel, his troops were defeated without any resistance. The enemy did not use any intrigues, did not rely on a small superiority in strength, but relied on their spears, their hard work, to defeat his troops in a murderous and heart-like manner—and more than half of them were recruits.

He looked at the red leaf soldiers in front of him, and a touch of unstoppable sadness suddenly surged in his heart.

"Am I old? It's out of step with the times. Miyoshi Changyi sighed and smiled a little desolately: "In front of so many people, you have lost a head-to-head battle, and your reputation is ruined." This rainy autumn and red leaves are a good soldier! When I was on the battlefield, he must have been a baby in swaddling clothes, but I didn't expect that today I would be humiliated. ”

Miyoshi Nagayi's troops retreated to resist around his Mayin, and many samurai were already unable to endure the huge casualties, so they led their men to retreat from both sides of Main. At the moment, all he could command was a haphazard group of more than 400 people. And the front of the Miyoshi family was also deeply dented by Chang Panbei's central breakthrough,

Seeing that the battle situation was not good, Iwanari Tomotomo on the right flank immediately drew 600 men from his own command to support Miyoshi Nagayi's position. The people of North Hanoi opposite him were also old rivals, and as soon as they saw him divide their forces, they immediately launched a fierce attack. Iwanari Yutong originally planned to lead Qimoto to support Miyoshi Nagaitsu himself, but at this moment, he was dragged by the people of Bei Hanoi, so he had to stay behind to maintain the battle line.

"This wave of side attacks is estimated to be able to stop the Red Leaf Soldier." Although Iwanari Yutong could not personally command, he was still confident in the success of the side attack. He had not sent all his troops to fight before, and he had 600 men in his hands all the time. Chang Panbei's attack is too deep, and once he encounters a side attack, he is bound to be in chaos, and even has the opportunity to counterattack in a wave, and directly turn defeat into victory. At that time, Yu Qiuping had to send out the 800 reserves at hand.

However, when Yu Qiuping saw Iwanari Yutong's side attack, he simply waved the flag and did not mean to change the deployment. The company of Nakahide Mimasaki, which was on the far left, that is, closest to the right flank of the Miyoshi family, immediately took up the whole army after receiving the order from Yu Qiuping. I saw that the troops, who had been attacking rapidly just now, stopped neatly without warning. After a few more simple commands, the troops of this company followed the command of Nakahide Omaezaki, and slowly rotated ninety degrees like the spokes on a wheel, with Nakahide Omaezaki as the axis of rotation. From the troops facing Iwanari Yutong from the side just now, they turned into three horizontal columns facing the enemy head-on.

"Oh my God?" Iwanari Youtong looked at Chang Panbei's dazzling formation changes, and directly exclaimed: "This! Is this a Noh drama? How could it be possible to change formations like this! ”

Generally, when normal troops encounter a flank attack, they will choose to slowly retreat and adjust, or the reserves in the rear will follow up to stabilize the situation. Like Chang Panbei, the team that relied on the flank directly turned to adjust the enemy, especially with such a formation change method, which completely exceeded the Miyoshi family's perception of the army. The changes of the ashigaru people in the military training mode of these rainy and autumn flats are like miracles in their eyes.

The 600 people of Iwanari Youtong were obviously not fully prepared, they had already riveted their strength and rushed towards Chang Panbei, and the formation was a little loose and did not adjust. At this moment, Mizenzaki Nakahide's company turned directly and then met it, catching them off guard.

And with the failure of Iwanari Tomoto's side attack, the collapse of Miyoshi Changyi is inevitable. He didn't last long, and was forced to evacuate the battlefield in disarray, besieged by Fukushima Yasunari and Charlie. Yoshiken Miyoshi and Masayasu Miyoshi tried to come to the rescue, but failed because the terrain near the river bank was too narrow to mobilize troops.

As soon as Miyoshi Nagayi withdrew, the battle line of the Miyoshi Army was directly cut in half by the Oda Army. Yu Qiuping ordered Charlie's company to immediately turn east, surround Iwasari Yudotsu from the rear, and attack Iwanari Yutong with Mizenezaki Nakahide and the people of Kitakawachi Guo. Fukushima Yasunari's headquarters, on the other hand, turned west and attacked Miyoshi Yoshiken's main camp at the Neyagawa River.

·

At this moment, Yoshiken Miyoshi and Masaysu Miyoshi finally broke through the positions of Kinoshita Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide, defeated their troops and drove them out of the battlefield. Just as they tried to turn east and attack Yuqiuping's position, they found that two companies of 800 pikemen were already in full array. They tried to attack, but they couldn't defeat the main line of the Tokiwa guards. At the same time, Fukushima Yasunari's troops had already captured the empty main camp of the Miyoshi family, cutting off the retreat of Miyoshi Yoshiken and Miyoshi Masayasu's troops.

To the east, two companies of Tokiwa and the people of North Hanoi had already attacked from three sides, besieging and annihilating Iwanari Yutong's troops. Iwanari Tomochi himself was killed by Charlie with an arrow in the chaotic battle, and his troops surrendered to death. After handing over the captives to the people of Kitakawachi, Charles and Mizenzaki Nakahide led their troops to the Neyagawa River, and gathered the main force of the usual Iwabi to encircle and suppress Miyoshi Yoshiken's army.

Miyoshi Nagayi, who had retreated to the battle, saw that Miyoshi Yoshiken and Miyoshi Masaysu were surrounded, and hurriedly tried to regroup their troops to rescue them. When Yu Qiuping discovered his intentions, he immediately ordered the cavalry company that was still on standby to attack Miyoshi Changyi under the leadership of Anayama Noshimi, so that he had no chance to gather his troops. Miyoshi Changyi saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to lead the remnants and auxiliary troops to slowly retreat south and withdraw from the battlefield.

At this time, Miyoshi Masaysu was struggling to attack the main camp. However, the Fukushima Yasunari Department is extremely tenacious and does not retreat. When Charlie and Mizensaki Nakahide's company was about to arrive, Miyoshi Masayasu reluctantly gave up his plan to recapture the main camp, because he was worried about being surrounded by the river, so he had to lead the Samurai of Hachimoto and some of his men and horses to break out of the encirclement and flee all the way south.

Standing on a high slope, Miyoshi Yoshixian looked at the battle situation in front of him, which was already out of control, and sighed helplessly. More than 1,000 soldiers under his command were surrounded by the Nemiya River, with the icy river behind them. The backwater array could not be mobilized at all, and Chang Panbei's morale was high, and he was already surrounded. Soon after, the news of Iwasari Yutong being obtained also spread throughout the battlefield, which made the morale of the Miyoshi Army fall to the bottom.

"You really shouldn't be opportunistic." Miyoshi Yixian shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Battle array commander, I'm still not as good as the eldest brother and the fourth brother, and I'm even much inferior to the young master." was outflanked after breaking through from the center, and it was really self-defeating. If you set the main camp in the middle, you will be able to retreat safely even if you are defeated. Unexpectedly, this Chang Panbei's combat power turned out to be even stronger than I imagined, and Changyi collapsed so quickly. ”

"Your Highness, what should we do now?" The flag warrior under Miyoshi Yoshiken hurriedly jumped to his feet, "Let's cover your evacuation, let's desperately see if we can rush out!" ”

"No need, I can't rush out." Miyoshi Yoshiken looked at the three platoons of Tokiwabei pikemen guarding his retreat, "If you rush out of that place, you will definitely be stabbed to death." ”

"Then Your Highness, let's wade into the water and escape." The flag warrior spoke again, pointing to the icy river on the west side, "It's a little cold, but there's no way to do it!" ”

"Do you think it's okay?" Miyoshi Yixian chuckled when he heard this, and glanced towards the north. The samurai hurriedly looked to the north and saw that there were already about 100 iron artillery soldiers lined up by the river, aiming at the Neyagawa.

When the samurai saw this, his heart was cold. There are also more and more iron gunners converging towards that place. This icy river water is very likely to freeze if you want to wade through it directly. And if you want to ride over, it must be very conspicuous, and it will become a target for the gunners.

Just as the samurai of Qimoto was pondering how to escape, the war drums sounded again, and the army of the Yuqiu family surrounded and suppressed from all sides. The morale of the Miyoshi Army was on the verge of collapse, and under the attack of the Yuqiu family, it was losing ground one after another, and the encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and it seemed that someone was about to squeeze into the river. And the cavalry of the Yuqiu family rushed to the front of the Miyoshi family to show off their might, and shouted in unison: "Capture Miyoshi alive!" Catch three good people alive! ”

The samurai of Qimoto was indignant, and such words as capturing him alive were an extreme insult to Miyoshi Yoshixian. Just as he was about to lead a group of banners to kill and break the net with this group of mermaids who humiliated the three good lines, the three good sages standing beside him suddenly laughed, raised his hands high, and smiled at the group of cavalry:

"Don't worry, you can't go."
