Chapter 466: Old Love

When Yu Qiuping was released from confinement, he had already guessed that the battle situation was not good—otherwise, with Oda Nobunaga's temper, how could he easily bypass him? In the history of his previous life, Hideyoshi Hashiba at that time was ordered to be confined by Oda Nobunaga because he disobeyed the command and evacuated from the battle against the Uesugi family, and his life was in danger. It was Matsunaga Hide's sudden rebellion that gave Hideyoshi Hashiba a chance to make amends for his exploits - because he was the closest legion that Oda Nobunaga could use at that time.

But when Yu Qiuping personally went to the camp gate and looked east, he realized how bad the battle situation had become. He also understood why Oda Nobunaga gave him an order not to send reinforcements to the east, but to hold his own position.

In less than a morning, Asai Nagamasa had already relied on a reserve of 1,000 people to break through the Oda family's eleventh group of 5,000 soldiers. Such a martial artist, even if Gen Yoshijing is alive, it is estimated that he will offer a word of praise.

"Iron gunner, immediately climb the camp wall, hide behind the female wall, and prepare to shoot suddenly!" Yu Qiuping didn't have time to explain, so he casually took the helmet handed by Long Zi and buckled it on his head, and before he even had time to put on his armor, he ran down the camp wall and began to command, "The infantry chokes the three gates of the east gate, the south gate and the north gate of the camp, and it is strictly forbidden for all rout soldiers to break in from these three gates, let them enter from the west gate in a circle!" Violators, no mercy! ”

Yu Qiuping glanced at the collapse of the Oda family's army, and understood how they lost! Due to the narrow official road from Mt. Shidake to Chohoji Temple, the Oda family had planned to resist here, but the exhausted reserve retreated and changed to the second camp. However, due to the unexpected collapse of Sakai Masanori's reserves under the onslaught of Asai Nagamasa, it led to a chain reaction of a series of routs and revolts.

If these more than 4,000 routs are allowed to rush into the camp, and the Asai family is taking advantage of the situation to cover up, then the main formation will soon be unable to hold it. Therefore, Yu Qiuping issued an unprecedentedly stern order. Ten years ago, under the city of Yinma, he refused to give the order to attack friendly troops and civilians, which led to the rout of the army and the rebellion of the people, the whole army collapsed, and Chang Panbei was injured by nearly half. Such a painful lesson, no matter what, he must not forget.

So, when the Oda family's rout, who had lost their armor and abandoned their armor, retreated to the camp gate, they were immediately stopped by Tokiwa's bright gun array. The soldiers of Chang Panbei all looked grim, lined up in a neat line, and held their spears ahead without saying a word. This aura of slaughter emanated invisibly shocked the routs - when they fled before, when the other friendly troops saw the rout fleeing like a tsunami, most of them did not dare to stand in front of the formation, for fear of being trampled on, and they all hurriedly dodged. However, the pikemen of Tokiwa did not change their faces, and faced the flow of people without fear.

After a few moments of hesitation, a few bold routs tried to squeeze towards the spear forest. The company, located outside the east gate, is the deployment of Fukushima Yasunari. And the water atom on the front line unceremoniously shouted: "Stop! If anyone dares to storm the military formation, there will be no forgiveness! ”

The hoarse roar, and the slanted handle of the knife on his face, frightened the rebels half to death at once. They didn't know why this usually amiable samurai was so irritable at the moment. The situation suddenly stalemate, and the defeated army no longer dared to move forward arrogantly.

Because, it was in the defeat of Yinma City ten years ago, because he couldn't bear to attack the rebels, which caused his platoon to collapse - and also lost his brother Mizutahei, and the scar on his face was also due to the kindness of the woman.

However, the situation did not last long. As more and more routs fled to the gate of the east gate, in the noise and chaos, the routs did not know the situation in front of them, only knew that the eagle behind them was about to be killed. So, they wailed and shoved everyone in front of them, trying to push their bodies in front of them and let their companions stand behind. Under the crowd, the routs in the front row were also crowded and rushed towards the east gate.

Unceremoniously, the Water Atom Scripture immediately ordered the pikemen in the first row to stab. At such a close distance, in an instant, more than thirty Oda family routers were ruthlessly pierced by spears. The Water Atom Sutra can even recognize a few of them, presumably comrades-in-arms of the Mori family and the Ikeda family. But at this moment, in order to be worthy of Yu Qiuping, in order to be worthy of his general Fukushima Yasunari, and in order to be worthy of the lives of countless people up and down Tokiwa, he must order an attack.

With blood splashing in front of them and wailing four times, the people outside the Oda family near the east gate instantly panicked. The Tokiwa in front of him seems to be a more terrifying killing god than the Asai Army behind him. Under the threat of death, they withstood the pressure behind them and struggled to rush to both sides. The huge rout tide was separated outside the east gate, and it was forbidden to enter at the south and north gates, so they had to circle around the camp for half a circle before escaping from the west gate into the camp or fleeing directly west from the battlefield. And during the time they were blocked outside the camp gate, hundreds of people were killed or captured by the Asai family, who had caught up.

·

Yu Qiuping watched the Oda family's rout gradually disperse in front of him, and the eagle Bei appeared in front of him, and the white eagle horse seal was still floating high in the military formation. And on the official road behind the eagle reserve, the remaining 4,000 soldiers of the Asai family are coming in a stream, and they will join the battlefield from time to time.

Seeing the familiar military formation of Eagle Bei appear opposite him, Yu Qiuping suddenly felt sad. In the past few battles, whenever he saw the strength of the eagle and the horse seal of Asai Nagamasa, he would feel unprecedented peace of mind - because it showed that reliable reinforcements were about to arrive. Over the years, even though Yu Qiuping has changed his court and been displaced, Asai Nagamasa has always been his best friend, and the Asai family has always been on his side. But today, he wants to kill the troops of the Asai family with his own hands, to fight against the strong army he created, and to fight against the righteous brothers he has known for more than ten years, Yu Qiuping can't help but feel embarrassed.

Such a scene reminded him of the heart-rending pain he felt when he first attacked the Imagawa family's Odaka Castle and the banner of the two leading two.

Comrades are enemies, no longer ruthless, and seal the past.

In the troubled times of the Warring States, this is also involuntarily.

Yu Qiuping glanced at the place where the White Eagle Horse Seal was, but he didn't see a military general on horseback. Could it be that Nagamasa did not ride a horse, but followed the queue on foot? Or is it injured and has already retreated?

However, Yu Qiuping didn't have much time to be in a daze, and Eagle Bei had already strode towards the camp at this moment, and entered the firing range of Chang Panbei's iron gunners. According to their momentum, it seems that they want to directly attack the camp gate. However, due to the well-trained and neat formation of the Eagles, the charging formation they discharged was much denser than that of the regular army, and if they were directly bombarded by the 450 iron cannons of Jobanbei, the casualties would definitely be very huge, and it was even possible that a salvo would bring more than 10% of the Eagles' personnel.

And now, the eagle was obviously not guessing that behind the battlements of the camp wall were hiding 450 loaded iron gunners. As long as Yu Qiuping gave an order, these iron gunners turned over and fired a salvo, and the first and second rows of the eagle reserve were estimated to fall. In the previous morning's battle, the eagle had suffered more than two percent casualties, and if it suffered another round of heavy losses, it was estimated that it would not be able to attack.

"Herald! Iron Gunner, all stand up! Yu Qiuping ordered loudly, and his order was immediately passed down layer by layer by the officers on the next floor. After a while, the 450 iron gunners on the camp wall turned over neatly, lit the fire rope in their hands, coldly raised the already loaded iron cannon, and pointed the muzzle of the black hole at the eagle about a hundred meters outside the camp gate.

Yu Qiuping's hand was already raised high, and he was about to throw it down quickly, while shouting out that volley. And at this moment, he also saw the panic and panic on the faces of the samurai ashigaru who were prepared by the eagles outside the camp gate - this was the first time they had stopped in today's battle. In front of them were also their old friend Yu Qiuping's maple bird horse seal, and the Joban garrison like their twin brothers.

and, the 450 iron cannons that were on fire.

·

Before the Eagles felt embarrassed and sad, the fear of death had hung over everyone's hearts. They could even see Yu Qiuping's raised arm in the middle of the camp wall. As long as that arm is under his command, the roar of the iron cannon will ring in their ears. When the smoke rises, maybe half of the first two rows will fall.

Asai Ieshigaru, who was walking in the first row of the line, had closed his eyes in despair at this moment, waiting for the next second of fateful choice - life or death, their fate was completely in the hands of the iron gunner. The next moment, the roar will sound.

No.

Another moment passed.

Or not.

The ashigaru only felt that these moments seemed to be as long as a century, and the dryness in his mouth made people feel as bitter as drinking Chinese medicine, and his whole body was instantly covered with cold sweat, and he couldn't even breathe, and the sound of his heart beating almost shook his eardrums. He felt like a guillotine prisoner waiting to be executed, waiting for impending death a few moments before death. That is, I feel glad that death is a moment late, and I hope that death will come quickly and end this damn wait.

Another moment passed, and it still didn't.

Another moment passed, and it still didn't.

No.

No.

What's going on?

Nashiqing opened his eyes in surprise, and found that Yu Qiuping's hand held high in the air did not shake it off, but clenched into a fist in pain, trembling violently.

·

Because of Yu Qiuping on the camp wall, at the last moment before he gave the order to open fire, he glanced at the army formation prepared by the eagle at random.

And unfortunately or fortunately, he happened to see Asai Nagamasa walking in the first row with his head held high. He is still the same, as heroic as ever, as brave as ever, not afraid of death, and heroically rushed to the front line.

His brother-in-law. His hot-blooded idiot's righteous brother, the righteous brother who only has justice in his head, the righteous brother who is willing to gamble his life for the sake of repaying his kindness and the righteousness of the world in Yuqiuping.

That good guy, fool.

God, I'm a bad guy too, how can I do it.
