Chapter 453: Elite Duel (9)

When he thought of this, Gao Shan and the fleeing army under his command had already rushed to a distance of about forty meters from him, and Omiya Jing saw that all the enemies had already appeared within range, and he no longer had any hesitation, only listened to him shouting: "Shoot the arrow!" ”

With his order, a hundred sharp arrows roared towards the enemy, because the sky was dark, and the Matsunaga army only cared about running forward, so they didn't notice that there were still enemy troops waiting for them in front, and when the sharp arrows were fired, although they all knew that the enemy did not intend to let go easily, but they thought it was too late, especially the Matsunaga family Ashigaru who rushed ahead, and all of them fell in a pool of blood without exception.

They saw that an enemy's long-range attack was waiting for them in front of them, so they immediately changed direction and rushed in the direction of the army led by Okakuni Takashi.

Matsunaga Hideki couldn't help but be furious when he saw that the army under his command failed to block the enemy's rear road, but no matter how angry he was at the moment, it would be useless, the army under his command was too tired, even if he attacked the Takayama Army now, the Takayama Army could easily repel them by virtue of the advantage of the terrain, so why bother to let the elite under his command die in vain.

Obviously, his strategy was obviously a failure, not only failed to kill the Gaoshan clan, but also suffered heavy losses in the army under his command, although it also brought a lot of casualties to the Gaoshan army, but this was really a bit of a loss.

However, Matsunaga Xiu did not intend to give up just now, since he could not annihilate the Takayama army and kill the Takayama clan with his army, then he had to use the method he had just thought of.

This mountain city is the territory of the Miyoshi family, and now that the mountain army has been exposed, then as long as he continues to follow and tell his location to the city lords of Miyoshi and the cities in the mountain city, then it will be impossible to escape, so that he can reduce the loss of the army under his command and annihilate the mountain army, why not do it.

Thinking of this, he heard Matsunaga Xiu immediately say: "Everyone who comes quickly goes to inform the lord of the location of the Takayama clan clan clan of the city lords who have passed through the mountain city, and ask them to send troops to come and annihilate the Takayama army." ”

On the high ground, after seeing that the enemy had retreated to five hundred meters away, and there was no more movement, he let the army under his command rest, while counting the battle damage, but in this short period of more than an hour, half of the six hundred troops under his command and the two hundred ninja troops brought by Mizuse Uemon were killed, and the number of ninja soldiers killed alone has reached as many as two hundred, and the other several armies, except for the heavy vine bow led by Omiya Keiren, have no losses, and the other armies can be said to have suffered heavy losses, The tragedy made the clan feel unacceptable.

Especially the elite cavalry led by Watanabe Moritsuna, because they have been in front of the army led by Matsunaga Hidekina, so the loss is even greater, only this battle lost sixty percent, the previous battle of Ise Kabara, so that the loss of the elite armor cavalry reached thirty percent, it has already made the clan feel heartbroken, and now the loss of the elite armor cavalry is more than half, after getting the report of battle damage, it made him sad and almost fainted.

However, the clan knew that the enemy had not given up yet, and now was not the time to be sad, the more this was the case, the more he should be calm, and bring all the remaining troops to a safe place, which is what he should do most.

And Sanada Masayuki is also very worried about the current situation, now the army of the family is in the enemy's territory, if the enemy is following at the same time, send a large army to come, then the Takayama army will be wiped out, so now we must find a way to get rid of this status quo However, the other party is not only not a scheming person, but also the famous Matsunaga Hide, Matsunaga Hide has been famous for many years, and has always been known for his ruthlessness, and in terms of his resourcefulness, I am afraid that it is not under him, so this makes Sanada Masayuki feel very tricky. …,

If it was someone else, he still had the confidence to get rid of the enemy's following with his wit, but in the face of Matsunaga Xiu, he didn't have confidence, however, although he didn't think of any way to get rid of the enemy for the time being, but he knew that this place should not stay for a long time, there was no water source here, and if the enemy's reinforcements arrived, then even if there was no need to attack, it would not take a few days, and the Takayama army would be trapped and die here.

Thinking of this, he only heard Sanada Masayuki speak: "My lord, my subordinates think that at this moment, while the enemy is resting, they should evacuate this place first, otherwise once the enemy's reinforcements arrive, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

The clan clan, who was feeling sad about the heavy casualties, couldn't help but relax after hearing this, and only heard him speak: "Now that the strength of the family has been exposed in front of the enemy, even if the enemy army no longer fights with the strength of the family, however, as long as it follows, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will be surrounded by the enemy, so it will be impossible for us to break out of the mountain city country at all, Gengoro can have a countermeasure?" ”

"This ······" Although Sanada Masayuki has outstanding intelligence, if he is the first to participate in a real battle outside the initial formation, he is inexperienced, and this time both armies are elite, and the tactics used in the battle of peasants and soldiers are basically useless, so he really can't answer the question raised by the clan for a while.

However, just when he was at a loss, a flash of inspiration suddenly made him think of a way, before the military situation of his family was exposed, it can be said that the lord's tactics are undoubtedly the best, but now that he has been exposed in front of the enemy, it is impossible to use this tactics anymore.

And now the army under the command of the main hall has captured the two cities except the Kannonji Castle, I am afraid that it will not take long to march to the mountain city, at that time, the Miyoshi army in order to resist the attack of the Oda army, it is inevitable that it will not be possible to have the spare strength to deal with the family, and the army of the family during this time, only need to find a strong city for defense, as long as it is time for Oda and the Miyoshi two to have a decisive battle, it will also turn the corner.

Moreover, the lord had already sent Qinghai Guangxian to the mountain city to return to Beijing Ji Gaoji and the other three before, and now that so much time has passed, if the lord's estimate was good, then these three people may have already been obedient, so why not lead the army to a city and borrow the city to defend?

Thinking of this, I only heard Sanada Masayuki speak: "Lord, my subordinates think that now we should give up the attack, turn to defense, and wait for the main hall to have a decisive battle with the Miyoshi army, the lord sent Lord Karumi to come to the mountain city to fight against the three people of Isshiki Fujinaga and the others, at this time, as long as the city is defended, then with the elite of the family's army, if you want to defend for a month or two, I'm afraid it's not a difficult thing, as long as the Oda family and the Miyoshi family are together, then the family's army will be safe, and maybe you can make a difference, This is the foolish opinion of his subordinates, and I ask the Lord to decide. ”
