After leading the Takayama army to the north for a while, he only heard Hori Hidemasa say: "Two adults, let's slow down a little, so that we can also give the enemy some hope, if we always keep the same distance, I am afraid that the enemy will stop pursuing." ”

Katsusuke Tanaka, who was born as a wild samurai, was just a guard at the Sparrow House before, and his job was very easy, and he already felt a little unbearable to run to such a long-distance attack, if it weren't for the chasing army behind, he would have stopped running a long time ago, and now he heard Hori Hidemasa speak, and quickly nodded in agreement, not that he didn't want to go along with it, but now he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Among the three leading the army, Maeda Toshiya is the oldest, and he is nearly thirty years old and more tired than the other two, but as the main general, he knows that his words and deeds are very important, so Hori Hidemasa and Tanaka Katsusuke can say it, but he can't say it.

Speaking of which, the reason that Hori Hidemasa thought of was really good, not that he was tired, and he was afraid that the enemy would not chase him, this reason was really wonderful, since the two samurai agreed to slow down, then of course he would not refuse.

I saw that he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, order the army to slow down and keep a distance of seventy or eighty meters from the enemy." This time, Maeda Toshiya didn't give his own order, he knew that as long as he shouted, he was afraid that he would faint suddenly, so it was better to leave such physical work to the young man.

But what he didn't expect was that Hori Hidemasa and Tanaka Katsusuke were much smarter than he imagined, and the two of them didn't open their mouths to give orders loudly, but whispered orders to Ashigaru behind them, and then they passed the orders back one by one. In the blink of an eye, all the subordinates received the order, and the speed of the run slowly slowed down.

Murakami Yoshikiyo, who was chasing after him, didn't feel it at first, but after chasing him for another mile or two, he was surprised to find that the distance between him and the enemy in front of him was getting closer and closer, from the first one hundred and fifty meters. Descended to a hundred meters, at the present seventy or eighty meters, if in normal times. Such a distance can be caught up in an instant, but now it has become an impossible goal to achieve.

"Quick, the enemy can't run. As long as we can catch up with the enemy and destroy them, we will be victorious. I don't know where Murakami Yoshikiyo got the strength, but when he saw that the enemy was close in front of him, he couldn't help but shout out loudly, and his voice was so loud that even Takayama Ieshigaru, who was running in front, could hear it clearly.

When he finished shouting, he only felt dizzy, if the road was not smooth now, I am afraid he would have fallen headlong.

And when he finished speaking, none of the ashigaru under his command answered. Just continued to run forward, and their speed did not speed up much because of Murakami's encouragement, it can be said that the current speed is already their limit, and after Murakami Yoshikiyo saw that his shouting had no effect at all, he didn't say anything more. Just keep running, he just hopes that the enemy can't stop running, and if he continues like this, there should still be hope.

It was another two or three miles away, and at this moment the sky was gradually darkening, because this place was not far from Matsukura Castle. Therefore, the terrain has also opened up, and it is said that with such a terrain, it is impossible for any ambush army to appear, but the army under the command of Omiya Keiren and Sugitani Zenjubo is here.

Since there was nothing to use as cover, they could only lie on the ground, hiding in the grass more than a foot high, if it was in the daytime, as long as they looked at the road, they could easily be spotted, but now that the sun had set, it was really difficult to find them.

When they heard the sound of footsteps, they did not order their troops to prepare to attack, because they knew that this must be the return of the troops under their command led by Maeda Toshiya and others. …,

And Maeda-sama's approach made them deeply admired, Maeda and other adults actually led the army to run back, you must know that the road from the place where they were ambushed here is really not close, in order to be able to return to the lord's side one step earlier to prepare for the battle with the enemy, they did not hesitate to spend a lot of physical strength, just this loyalty, it is worth learning from themselves.

And they admired the physical strength of the army under their command even more, from the small island city to the ambush site, and then ran back after the ambush, how strict the training of his ashigaru needs to go through to complete such a strong task, if it is changed to his own ashigaru, it is impossible to complete, it seems that after winning Hida and settling down, he will also have to train his military posture, so as not to be further and further away from the combat power of the other armies of his family.

Soon they watched the family army leave, but when the family army was not over, they heard more footsteps coming from behind, and now they also understood, no wonder Maeda and other adults ran all the way back, it turned out that there were pursuers behind.

Because both the iron cannon and the heavy vine bow are lined up before lying in the grass, so there is no need to prepare at all, when the army of the family has just passed, only to listen to the Omiya Keiren and Sugitani Zenjubo at the same time to attack, an order, the rain of arrows came first, the projectiles shot by the iron cannon followed closely, how could the Uesugi army who was running could have thought that there was an ambush in such an open place, so a round of salvo down no one dodged at all, and anyone who ran in the front of the ashigaru even if he dodged the rain of arrows, was also shot by the projectile that followed.

And when they fell, the ashigaru behind them didn't brake in a hurry, and was suddenly knocked down a lot, Sugitani Zenjubo thought that he and the iron cannon Ashigaru under his command only had one chance to shoot, but when he just wanted to order a retreat, he found that the enemy was already in a mess, which made him stunned, is this still the elite and abnormal Uesugi army, how does it look not much stronger than Ji Xiaoji's army.

Whatever the reason for the enemy's state to be reduced to this level, the most important thing to do now is to deal a more painful blow to the enemy while they are not relieving.

Thinking of this, he not only did not order his subordinates to retreat, but immediately ordered another shot.

Now the state of the Uesugi army is indeed no longer suitable for combat, which is not only seen by Sugitani Zenjubo, but also clearly known by Murakami Yoshikiyo.

In a formation like this, as long as one charge, the opponent can be annihilated, but this order, which is very simple in normal times, is now no one to carry out at all, and the Uesugi family Ashigaru now just wants to escape to a safe place and then take a good rest, so now they have those who run forward and some who run backward, and there is no one who wants to attack anyway.

Murakami Yoshikiyo felt very helpless when he saw this, he didn't blame the army under his command for not having fighting spirit, he only blamed the Takayama clan for being too cunning, even more cunning than rumored, and now he would rather face Takeda Shingen than face the Takayama clan.

When facing the Takeda Army, at least it was a face-to-face competition, his own martial arts were not proficient, and it was no wonder that the combat power of the ashigaru under his command was not enough, but this mountain army, as if it was cutting mosquitoes with a knife, was completely powerful and useless, and this mosquito sucked most of the blood on his body, and he had never felt aggrieved before.

In terms of military strength, he thinks that he is on par with the Gaoshan army, and he still has a numerical advantage, but in this battle, he has nothing to gain except for killing twenty or thirty Takayama family ashigaru, but he has paid hundreds of lives, and he has to catch the Ji Xiaolu army that the whole army has been wiped out, and now he hasn't even seen the face of the Gaoshan clan, I don't know what tricks he has, how to fight this battle.

Seeing that more and more Ashigaru began to flee forward and backward, if they continued like this, even if they were not shot, they would be scattered, and now it is even more unsuitable to continue to move forward, so they can only retreat, only in this way can they keep more Ashigaru. …,

"Retreat quickly, the whole army retreats." After all, the Uesugi family ashigaru is well-trained, and they didn't receive any orders just now, so they had to run away indiscriminately, now that they have an order, and it's not for them to fight with the enemy, but to retreat, who is willing to disobey, so since Murakami Yoshikiyoshi finished speaking, the ashigaru people turned around and retreated back.

Moreover, this speed was much faster than when they were chasing the mountain army just now, and in order to survive, they had to use the last trace of strength.

Before Murakami Yoshikiyo gave the order, Ashigaru who had already run ahead was dumbfounded, and they immediately reacted, the Takayama Army was in front, and the faster they ran, the faster they died, so they could only run back hard, but at this moment, Shigeto Bow Ashigaru and Iron Cannon Ashigaru were watching the enemy run out of range, and they collided before they could kill them, and how could the two armies let them leave alive.

The Uesugi family, about a hundred or so, except for a dozen lucky ones who successfully rushed back, the other dozens were all mercilessly shot on the spot.

When the last enemy fell, Omiya Keiren and Sugitani Zenjubo each came to the middle of the road with their troops, and the two of them looked at the corpses in front of them, as well as the back of the fleeing Uesugi family, and couldn't help but look at each other.

I only heard Omiya Jinglian ask incredulously: "The enemy ran away?" We won? With only 200 troops, the enemy was repulsed, Sugitani-sama, is this true? ”

Sugitani Zenjubo also did not recover from the surprise, he thought about retreating, and he also thought about the scene of the enemy chasing after him, but he didn't think at all that the battle would end in this way, and the enemy actually ran away? That's more than 2,000 Uesugi troops, and when they faced the strength of their own family's 200 troops, they actually fled without a fight?

Sugitani Zenjubo pinched himself hard, and the pain suddenly spread all over his body, it seems that he is not dreaming, but how the whole process is the same as dreaming. (To be continued.)
