The Burning Sky group retreated towards Hamamatsu Castle in a hurry, and the Takeda pursuers followed all the way, but just when Sakai Tadaji was struggling to find out how to enter Hamamatsu Castle, the Takeda army, which had been chasing all the way, suddenly stopped the pursuit. Seeing this, Burning Sky was extremely excited, and he finally survived the hard-fought battle between Tokugawa and Takeda. However, before the burning of the sky was happy for five seconds, Sakai Tadaji said to everyone: "The Takeda army suddenly retreated, there must be something strange in this, we have to catch a person from the Takeda family and come back to ask." ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky bowed his head to Sakai Tadaji and said: "Lord Sakai, we just escaped from the pursuit of the Takeda army, and now we should quickly enter Hamamatsu Castle to repair, maybe the Takeda family will besiege Hamamatsu Castle tomorrow, and we will take the lead in sorting out the army!" ”

After hearing Burning Sky's words, most of the samurai chimed in, "This is reasonable, Lord Sakai, I'd better enter the castle and repair it quickly!" Sakai Tadaji looked at the samurai around him who agreed with the proposal to burn the sky, and said with some anger: "The great kindness of the lord to you, have you forgotten it?" The Tokugawa samurai who echoed the burning sky lowered their heads when they heard this, and the burning sky was not good for a while.

At this time, a group of people suddenly came out of the vicinity, and when Sakai Tadaji found out, he immediately ordered everyone to be vigilant against the enemy's attack. The atmosphere around them was suddenly tense, and the people who had been running wildly all the way were panting, clenching the weapons in their hands and being wary of the enemy troops that came up nearby.

When the other party approached, Sakai Tadaji's face showed a hint of relief. Then the Tokugawa samurai also put away their weapons and greeted the people on the other side in the dialect of Mikawa. Seeing this, Burning Sky and the others also relaxed their vigilance, and Burning Sky said to Pingshou Fanxiu: "Lord Pingshou, the other party is a Samurai of the Three Rivers?" ”

After hearing this, Hirata Fanxiu looked up and observed, and said to the burning sky lightly: "It's Okubo Shinjuro!" ”

After hearing this, the name of the important minister in the early Tokugawa shogunate came to mind, Okubo Tadashi. Then Burning Sky said to Hirata Fanxiu: "Lord Hirate, did I enter the city earlier, report to the lord, and ask the lord to prepare for the offensive of the Takeda army in Owari?" After hearing this, Hirata Fanxiu nodded, and said to the burning sky: "I don't know how Sakuma-sama is doing?" ”

At this time, Sakai Tadaji couldn't wait to ask Okubo Tadashi, "Shinjuro, are you from Hamamatsu Castle?" Can the lord return to Hamamatsu Castle? ”

After listening to Sakai's words, Okubo Tadashi, who was commanding the weapons that his subordinates Ashigaru had put away, said to Sakai Tadaji: "After hearing the news that the lord was out of battle early this morning, he rushed over with a thousand troops from Okazaki Castle, and he just came out of Hamamatsu Castle and didn't get any news from the lord!" ”

When Tadaji Sakai heard the news, his whole body shook and he fell directly from the horse. Seeing this, the surrounding samurai hurriedly stepped forward to help the fallen horse Sakai Tadaji up, and after everyone was stirring, Sakai Tadaji opened his eyes again. Ishikawa Shumasa saw Sakai Tadaji wake up and said to the samurai beside him, "Quickly bring Sakai-sama back to the city to recuperate!" ”

After hearing this, Sakai Tadaji struggled to get up and said to Ishikawa Shumasa: "Shuzheng, just now Takeda retreated, he must have captured the lord, you must save it!" After hearing this, Ishikawa Shumasa shook Sakai Tadaji's hand and said, "Don't worry, Lord Sakai, I will definitely bring the lord back!" With that, Ishikawa waved his hand at the samurai beside him, and two samurai stepped forward, one carrying Sakai Tadaji on his back, and the other taking care of him.

Then Ishikawa Shumasa divided half of his troops and returned to Hamamatsu Castle with Sakai Tadaji, who originally thought he would be sent back, but was tied with a sentence: "Shumasa, Ming Shamen is brave and scheming, I will leave him to help you find His Royal Highness Mikawa, which is also a wish of my family." After hearing this, Ishikawa Shumasa lowered his head and said to Hirate Fanxiu: "I heard that Ming Shamen, in the Oda family, there are names of 'Pig Tu' and 'Young Eagle', you can stay and help me, thank you Heisama!" ”

When he heard the words of Tieshou Fanxiu, his heart was full of black question marks, I kindly saved you and let you avoid the tragedy of getting lost and killed in history, and you repay me like this. Now that the burning sky finally understands what it means to be afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, looking at the distant flat Fanxiu and Oda's military strength, the whole person was stunned in place. And Fushiwa Akijiro and Right Ichisuke and others were very excited, and Right Ichisuke said to the burning sky: "Senior brother's prestige has been passed on to the Daodaochuan family!" ”

After hearing this, Burning Sky said with a wry smile: "It's all the adults who love it, it's just a false name!" ”

Ishikawa Shumasa counted the current strength again, and together with the 1,000 troops of Okubo's loyal neighbors, there were more than 1,750 people in total. Ishikawa said to Okubo's loyal neighbors: "Shinjuro has lived in Mikawa for a long time, and he is not familiar with the terrain of this place, so don't set off with us, stay here and build a military formation to meet us." After hearing this, Okubo loyashi bowed his head and agreed, and then began to build defensive battle formations according to the terrain. The rest of the people were divided into teams of about fifty people under the arrangement of Ishikawa Shumasa, and they moved in batches in the direction of the northward retreat of the Takeda army.

With fifteen of his men, five Tokugawa samurai and thirty Tokugawa ashigaru, Burning Sky touched in the northeast direction. Shortly after leaving Ishikawa Shumasa, Burning Sky spotted a slender Takeda army walking down a narrow path. The number of this Takeda army was about three or four hundred, and among them happened to be a high-ranking samurai tied to a horse and wearing an ornate belly roll.

After riding a horse in the bushes and seeing the high-ranking samurai, he turned his head to the Tokugawa samurai behind him and said, "Come and see, who is this person?" After hearing this, several Tokugawa samurai stepped forward to look at the Takeda army, and after a few more seconds of careful observation, suddenly the samurai of the Tokugawa family began to tremble, and said to the burning sky: "Lord Hieiyama, it seems to be His Highness!" ”

After hearing this, the whole person was stunned, and then looked in the direction of the high-ranking samurai again, and sure enough, on the two guns in the hands of Takeda Ashigaru in front of the person, he found Tokugawa Ieyasu's Tang Guandou who was picked on the tip of the gun.

In an instant, the heart of the burning hollow cooled down, to count less, fifty dozen three hundred, to count more, these Takeda troops may even have nearly five hundred people, and the burning of the air will be lost and sent to death. But now, if he returns to report the situation to Ishikawa Shumasa and misses the opportunity to be rescued, he is afraid that he will be forced to apologize by the retainers of Tokugawa, and Oda Nobunaga will definitely lose his car to protect the commander in order to stabilize the alliance, not to mention that he is not even a soldier.

Looking at the heavy and complicated face of the burning air, several Tokugawa samurai said, "Does Lord Hieiyama have a clever plan to rescue His Highness?" Burning Sky was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said in a deep voice: "Let me think about it!" At this time, Fushiwa Meijiro on the side said to the burning sky: "Lord, don't hesitate, the great fame is in front of you, how can you let it slip away like this?" ”

As soon as he thought about it, there was a sentence "Fight a bicycle and a motorcycle" poured into his mind, and he said to his subordinates: "Okay, it is important to rescue His Highness Mikawa, I found that the enemy's waist and abdomen were weak when he was marching, and we sneaked to the front of the enemy, and when the army escorting His Highness Mikawa passed, we cut directly into the Takeda queue from the left flank, and after saving His Highness Mikawa, he stood out from his right flank, understand?" ”

Seeing that everyone was still reminiscing, Burning Sky said directly to everyone: "Follow me!" After hearing this, everyone nodded directly and followed behind the burning sky, marching through the path between the trees to the front of Takeda's army.
