Fujido Gao Hu finished speaking, and turned his head to look at the Sabei on the side. Hearing the news, Sabei was stunned, then held Fujido Takatora's arm with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "But is it correct?" ”

Seeing that Fujitang Gaohu nodded after hesitating slightly, Sabei gasped, a little green tendon burst out on his forehead, and he stood in place and stopped advancing. Fushiwa Meijiro on the side was even more surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly grabbed Fujido Gaohu and asked, "What?" ”

Before Fujido Takatora could speak, the battle formation of the Okubo brothers finally couldn't withstand the impact of the Takeda Hojo coalition army, and Ashigaru began to flee.

Sabei, whose hands were a little trembling, looked at the fleeing Ashigaru and slashed it with a sword, and before Sabei could say anything to order Ashigaru to disperse, Fujido Takatora on the side whispered: "Lord, Mikawa Hall asked me to wait to support Okubo-sama, and now that the battle array is about to collapse, I might as well wait to take over Okubo-sama who has withdrawn!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei nodded, ordered his troops to make a way for the scattered Ashigaru, and sent his attendants to report the situation to Tokugawa Ieyasu with a token, while he himself led his troops to the rout of the army with butterfly and pie flags.

Seeing Sabei who came to pick him up, Tadashi Okubo swallowed the words on his lips. Seeing that the Sabei guards lined up to stop the defeated soldiers and pursuers behind them, he immediately led his brother and his close attendants to assist the Sabei guard.

Sabei Benyi commanded his troops to retreat while fighting, and returned to the division to join Tokugawa Ieyasu and others, but was unexpectedly dragged down by the rout of the frenzied battle formation.

Seeing that the pursuers were in front of him, Sabei shouted to stop his troops, and then waved his sword and rushed into the rout and pursuers first. Seeing this, Fushiwa Akijiro and Ichisuke You, and others naturally followed Sabei to attack.

Fujido Takatora looked at the Sabei who had already rushed out, pulled out the knife on his waist entirely, and inserted the scabbard of the pressed knife into his waist. Fujitang Gaohu, who pulled out the entire sword, glanced at Lin Xiuzhen's military flag shaking not far away, holding the handle of the knife in one hand and the scabbard in the other, and pulled out the knife violently. After sweeping his eyes over the cold blade, Fujido Takatora threw the scabbard to the ground and rushed into the enemy's ranks.

Sabei slashed the Takeda samurai in front of him with a press cut, followed up with a kick and kicked down with the old Hachiman Huangbei. Sapersi Heiji on the side stepped forward and inserted the knife in his hand into Hachiman Huangbei's abdomen, and then pulled out the sword that he held tightly and continued to rush with Sabei.

Soon this group of pursuers was defeated by Sabei, who looked at the fleeing enemy army and did not stay long, and directly ordered his troops to move closer to the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp.

Just as Sabei was about to approach the Tokugawa Ieyasu main camp, he suddenly saw the Tachiaoi pattern in the front formation begin to retreat backwards, and before Sabei could ask, he saw Sakuma Nobumori shouting to himself: "Retreat, Mikawa-sama ordered us to retreat to Makinohara." ”

When Sabei heard this, he didn't care what Okubo Tadashi said, and directly shouted: "Withdraw to Makinohara Castle with me!" After speaking, he glanced back at the left flank of the corpses everywhere, and then led his troops to rush towards Makinohara Castle with the headquarters of Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had retreated.

At this time, Ishikawa Shu, who stayed behind in Makinohara Castle, watched the coalition forces flee back in a hurry, and immediately opened the city gate to let the panicked coalition troops enter the city.

Sabei, who had fled back to the city, handed over his troops to Fushiwa Akijiro and headed for Tokugawa Ieyasu with his attendants.

However, due to the disorderly retreat, the various departments fought to withdraw one after another, resulting in the collapse of the battle array of Sakuma Nobumori who was in charge of the palace, and in the end, only Sakuma Nobumori led more than 100 people into the city. Others either fled into the mountains and forests, or became the exploits of the Takeda Army and the Hojo Army.

Sabei, who had received an order from Tokugawa Ieyasu, stood on the castle wall and looked east, and saw that there were many flags outside Makinohara Castle that had fallen to the ground, and the Takehoku coalition army was gathering the surrendered samurai and ashigaru while wrapping the severed heads with the flags on the ground. Sabei sighed and returned to the assigned yashiki with his attendants.

Fushiwa Akijiro, who had pacified his troops, saw that Sabei had returned, and immediately stepped forward and bowed his head and asked, "My lord, how is the situation?" ”

Hearing this, Sabei waved his hand to Fushiwa Akijiro and motioned to enter the house. Seeing this, Fushiwa Akijiro nodded and followed Sabei into the house.

Sabei, who entered the house, looked around at the dozen or so retainers in the house, and found that everyone was solemn, so he coughed and said: "Although our army is defeated today, we can retreat to Makinohara Castle, and Imakinohara Castle to resist the Takeda Army and the Hojo Army; Although the Takeda army and the Hojo army were victorious, they had no castle walls to rely on, and the lord and the young lord would soon lead a large army to support our army. ”

Seeing that the faces of his retainers were no longer gloomy, Sabei continued: "As long as we stick to Makinohara Castle and not be captured by the Takeda army, when the lord and the young lord lead the army to come, the coalition army will attack at the same time, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Takeda army!" ”

Most of the retainers turned pale when they heard this, and there was less despair in their eyes. After most of the retainers withdrew from the house full of hope, Fujido Takatora sat down on the left hand of Sabei and whispered: "My lord, there are almost no standing reserves in the cities of Yuanjiang, if the Takeda army bypasses the castle, I am afraid that all the cities of Yuanjiang will fall, and now the coalition army is timid, even if the Takeda army bypasses Makinohara Castle, Mikawaden will not attack easily!" ”

Hearing this, Sabei nodded, and said to Fujido Takatora and Fushiwa Akijiro: "What I said just now is to encourage the morale of the army, if the army's spirit is unstable, I'm afraid that even Makinohara Castle will not be able to defend it!" ”

Right Ichisuke also spoke: "Brother, I don't know when His Highness Nobunaga and His Highness Nobutada will be able to lead an army to support us!" ”

After hearing this, Sabei shook his head and said to the three humerus in front of him: "What the lord thinks in his heart, how do I know, it's just that Lin Satomori was beheaded, and the lord questioned, and it was difficult for me and Lord Sakuma to explain." ”

Hearing this, Fujido Takatora sighed, and said to Fushiwa Akijiro and Right Ichisuke, who didn't know the inside story: "Actually, the lord has sensed that Lin Sato is in danger, and asked the Mikawa Hall to send troops to meet the Hayashi Sato, but was ignored by the Mikawa Temple. ”

Hearing this, Fushiwa Akijiro and Right Ichisuke suddenly changed their faces, and Right Ichisuke asked Sabei Dang: "Brother, today the Mikawa Hall can abandon Lin Satomori, and if the lord is in trouble, will the Mikawa Hall also..."

"This matter is not to be publicized, this matter is quite unfavorable to the two alliances, if the lord asks, you will say that you don't know, and rot this matter in your stomach!" Sabei looked at Fujido Takatora, who had already told the matter, and admonished the three of them with a serious face.

Fushiwa Akijiro, who didn't speak much at this time, said loudly: "Poor Hayashi Satomori's head is still in the Hojo Army!" ”
