"Yajima-sama, the traitors have been cleared, and I hope you will go back and tell your lord, just say that your subordinates will definitely do their best to defend this pass! It's called Hosokawa Nobumoto, and there is no return! Date Qingzong patted his chest and assured that now he has revenge, and he is in a good mood.

The upper new stone checkpoint, the guard Date Keishune, this is a level corresponding to the lower new stone level, and the two levels are sandwiched between the Abukuma Gorge.

Although it is called a canyon, it is actually just a valley, the valley is more than 700 meters long, and there are naturally cliffs more than 140 meters high on both sides, and on one side is Bentenzan Mountain!

The valley is in the shape of a gourd, and the narrowest part is the gourd mouth under the new stone checkpoint, the width is less than 60 meters, so the pass is difficult to overcome. The widest part of the abdomen can reach more than 160 meters, although the longest side exceeds the maximum range of the iron cannon, but it is better than the high position, and the trajectory still has a certain gliding distance, as long as it is in the flight state, it has a certain lethality.

Originally, the upper new stone checkpoint did not exist, because the control of the gourd mouth (lower new stone) was the place where the soldiers must fight, and it was also the dividing point between Iwaki Province and Rikuzen Province.

Later, the Tsukawa family built a temporary checkpoint in Shangniushi, which is a defensive fence more than 100 meters wide, which is basically very simple in the entire defense system.

But it is precisely this simplicity that can make the attackers think that it is within reach, so as not to retreat like Shimoshishio Pass, which is intended to block the advance of Hosokawa's army, deplete its forces, and make it impossible to get out of the valley easily.

Beyond Jonyoshi is a small basin surrounded by mountains, and there are two grain-producing villages: Miyashita Maeshita Town and Ishibo Town, both of which are castle towns of Bentenzan Castle.

In other words, if you open up the Abukuma Gorge, you will be able to force Bentenzan Castle to go.

"Kill!" Shimo-Nishi was finally breached, and the Hosokawa army drove the defeated army into the valley.

"Kill! Kill! Stand out! Break out! "Hideji Igome and Morinaga Miura were divided and surrounded by the Hosokawa army in the valley, with the intention of forming a melee situation in which I have you and you have me, forcing the defenders of Bentenzan above the canyon to throw a mouse-trap and not be able to attack.

"Open the door! Open the door! Let's get inside! After continuing Mogami Yoshimori, a large number of defeated soldiers also rushed to the outside of Shangniushi Pass, banging on the gate and shouting loudly for them to be let in.

"Go back! All go back to fighting! The Lord has an order! Those who escape from the battle will be killed! Don't you all want to live! Get back! Go back! Date Keimune shouted loudly inside, he had a grudge against Mogami Yoshimori, and he was naturally happy to do it on the spot, but there were many colleagues in front of him who had a good relationship, which made him a little timid.

"Fart! What an escape! Lao Tzu fought until the last moment, and he withdrew when he heard the retreating conch! Hanawa and Masatomo Ishinotoriya were shouting outside, claiming to have heard the rallying call.

"Yes? Have it? At this time, even Date Qingzong was stunned, seeing that the other party said so categorically, could it be said that there was really such a thing?

"Of course! It was the Komura-sama who told us about it! This can still be fake! Open the door! Open the door! ”

Knock knock, knock knock, everyone hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Komura-sama?" Date Keimune looked out with his feet crossed, but he didn't see the figure of Yoshiki Komura.

And Yoshikage Komura had already died in the battle of Shimo-Newstone, and before he died, he probably wanted to go home too much, and he had a delusion, and vaguely felt that he had heard the rallying call.

"Conch... It's a conch... It's an order to retreat..."Yoshiki Komura looked blankly at the sky, muttering to himself as the generals gathered around him.

"My lord! Cheer up, Lord Komura! Hideji Igme shouted from the sidelines in a blurred state of Komura Yoshika.

"What did the village-sama say? Just blew the retreating conch? Is it? Did you all hear that? Mori Miura listened again in the ear of Yoshiki Komura, and looked up to ask the people around him.

"Yes? Have it? I didn't pay attention to it. Hanawa shook his head, indicating that he hadn't noticed.

"Drink! What are you guys doing! Does Komura-sama have any more will? "Masatomo Ishinoyaya slashed an enemy to death, and he was leading his team to resist the frenzied attack of the Hosokawa army.

"Komura-sama, he... He said he heard the order to retreat, let's retreat! Hideji Fiftyme's words came to his lips and changed the question sentence to an affirmative sentence.

"So what are you waiting for! Evacuate! It's already fallen! Drink! "Masatomo Ishino Tani killed another enemy with his backhand, turned around and left.

"But... But this is not sure, I haven't heard it below, you haven't heard it either, is it only the village adults who have heard it? Mori Miura was still a little hesitant, after all, it was a serious crime to escape.

"Miura-sama, go! This is an order from the village-sama! Do you want adults to die without turning a blind eye! Hideji Fifty-eyes shouted loudly, and when everyone saw it, Yoshikage Komura had already choked his breath, but his eyes were wide open, and he didn't blink to death.

"The small village... My lord..."Miura Moriei shuddered and closed Komura Yoshikage's eyes, gritting his teeth: "Withdraw!" Withdraw to Kannai! After the break! ”

"And there's down! You go first! Hideji Igme also stayed, and everyone fought and walked away, and entered the valley.

"So that's the case, that's really..."Date Keimune seemed to be convincing himself that these people were all good and deserved to come back and be rewarded, so he was ready to open the door.

Bang bang bang! Boom! Suddenly, the iron cannons in the valley rang out, and puffs of black smoke burst out in the valley, which was baking! It was the Tsugawa defenders of Bentenzan who attacked.

"Uhh "Wow!" "Don't! Don't! We're down there! "Tsugawa Ashigaru, who was still fighting, was immediately stunned by this attack that did not distinguish between the enemy and me.

"The Lord has an order! Those who escape from the battle will be killed! "The sound of sanctions being announced from above.

"Nope! We don't! We heard the retreating conch! Hideji Igme hurriedly quibbled below, and he was also trying to survive at that time, so he agreed with the nonsense of Yoshikage Komura before he died.

"Shoot!" But the people above did not listen, and faithfully carried out the order to kill.

Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!

"Be careful, lord!" Kitada Masanari threw Kitada Motogu to the ground at once, and there were many small craters of lead bullets around him.

"Whew... Thanks, Zhengcheng. Kitada Motogu didn't scold him this time, even if he was high in martial arts, he was afraid of iron cannons.

"Hehe... Lord, this is what subordinates should do. By the way, this Tsugawa family is crazy, right? Kill even your own people! Kitada Masanari smiled innocently, scratched his head, and suddenly looked around in surprise, regardless of the enemy and my bombardment.

"Probably because we're about to get out of the valley, give the order! Hurry forward and break through here in one go! "Kitada Motogu looked at the fence defense line in the distance, as long as he broke through there, he would be able to encircle Bentian Mountain!
