Shan County Changjing couldn't help but laugh after hearing this, he finally figured out why the Gao Shan Army would retreat for Lu, I am afraid that they already knew about the assistance of the ninja army in the Dao Wind Demon.

Changjing of Shan County couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Gaoshan clan is also a person, and he withdrew without any hesitation, although this will make him suffer heavy losses, but it is much stronger than being annihilated, but does he think that it is safe to retreat into the city, even if you can defend this city, but what about other cities, there is only one lonely city left in the Gaoshan family after the most Lu, and there are more than 2,000 remnants, how long can this Gaoshan city be defended.

Although the battle ahead is not even over yet, Yama County Changjing has already met the day when the Takayama family is destroyed. He was always serious, and he couldn't help laughing.

I only heard him immediately order: "Give an order to all the troops under your command, as long as the Gaoshan army withdraws, I will be killed later, if anyone can take the opportunity to seize the gate of Gaoshan City and attack the city, it will be a great achievement." ”

On the battlefield, the retainers of the Gao Shan family led the army to kill, but at this moment, they suddenly received an order from the lord to retreat, which made them feel very puzzled, especially the retainers who fought on the northern front, the enemy on the northern front was the most, once they retreated, then the losses they brought to the army under their command would undoubtedly be very huge, which would completely exceed their tolerance limit.

But they also knew that at this critical moment, the lord suddenly ordered to retreat, it was definitely not a random order, it must have encountered some unexpected situation to do it, so even if he didn't want to retreat, he had to retreat.

But the problem is that if you just turn around and walk away. This is no different from suicide at all, so even if you withdraw, you can't mess up the rules.

Maeda Toshiie, Watanabe Moritsuna, and Wasuka Masakatsuna have now gathered together, only to hear Watanabe Moritsuna speak first: "The two adults, the elite armor Ashigaru under the command has been acting as the main body's guard before, and focuses on defense during weekday training. And the armor worn by Ashigaru is also superior to the strength of the two troops, so please ask the two adults to lead the army to retreat first. In the next vow, he led the elite armor to serve as the palace army to ensure safety. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he only heard Wasuka Masakatsu say, "I don't agree." The army under the command of the adults can only be close combat, even if they can block the enemy, but it is difficult to escape the fate of the annihilation of the whole army, and the ninja army led by the next place, not only the number of more than 500 people, but also in the battle can be near or far, after the two adults led the army to evacuate safely, as long as a shuriken goes down, it is easy to distance from the enemy, so this palace army is still served by the ninja army. ”

"Lord Wasuka. Ninja training is not easy, and if the loss is large, it will be difficult to make up for it, so let the army under it resist. ”

Seeing that neither of them would let him, Maeda Toshiya couldn't help but say, "Time is pressing now. There is no time for the two adults to fight, I am in favor of the ninja army serving as the palace army, Watanabe-sama, quickly give the order to retreat with me. ”

Although the identities of the three are the same, the Maeda Toshiya was the first to go out of the Takayama family, so what he said still has some weight. And now is indeed not the time to say more, so Watanabe Moritsuna had to give up, only to hear him say: "Just listen to Maeda-sama, Wassuka-sama, everything is left to you." ”

After saying that, he immediately gathered his troops with Maeda Toshiya and prepared to retreat.

Because Maeda Keiji received the order one step ahead of the other party, and the combat strength of his subordinates, he was stunned to open a bloody road, of course, the Takeda army would not let them leave so easily, but when they saw that the other party's general was standing on the bridge, no one from the Takeda family ashigaru dared to come forward to attack, it was this brave general who killed at least thirty or forty people with his own hands in this battle, and none of them wanted to be the next target to be killed. …,

Although they didn't want to, Kotsu Shiro Bingwei couldn't agree, especially when Maeda Keiji insulted the lord in front of him just now, which was very unforgivable, so he ordered his troops to step forward while rushing over himself.

"It's good to come!" Seeing that the other party was already rushing towards him, Maeda Keiji did not retreat, but advanced, and also rushed towards the Takeda family samurai.

The two then fought on the pontoon, but Maeda Keiji's spear skills were praised even by Watanabe Moritsuna, and how could ordinary samurai be able to match, Kotsu Juro Bei rushed over first, but before his commander could catch up, he was pierced in the throat by the spear in Maeda Keiji's hand.

The Takeda family saw that the samurai-sama had already been taken by the other party in the blink of an eye, and how could he dare to step forward, so he invariably stopped.

Maeda Keiji saw that the samurai under his command had arrived on the west bank, so he didn't stop long, and when the enemy was stunned, he turned around and ran towards the west bank, and at this moment, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting: "The enemy has been completely defeated, and the lord has the order to pursue quickly!" ”

But even if they start chasing now, it's already too late, and if Keiji Maeda's two long legs are gone, they won't be able to catch up even if they want to.

As for the southern front, there is no need to worry, although the new four hundred ninjas have not yet started a war with the enemy, it is precisely because of this that they can break off the strength of their own army in front, and as soon as the army led by Mizuse Uemon and Sugitani Zenjubo retreated, they threw their shuriken at the enemy without their lives, and then only forced the enemy back twenty or thirty meters, but this distance was enough for them to retreat.

Seeing that the enemy forces on the central front and the enemy army on the southern front could not catch up, they invariably targeted the more than 500 ninja troops who were withdrawing from the northern front.

"Your Excellency, the enemy on the central and southern fronts has surrounded you." Even if this ninja doesn't say it, Wasuka Masakatsu has already seen it, now there is a chasing army behind him, and there are enemy troops blocking the way in front, once he is surrounded by the enemy, then he and the more than 500 ninjas under his command will definitely be unable to escape death.

Thinking of this, I only heard him shout: "Brothers, if the way we are left with one is to rush through the ranks of the enemy on the central and southern fronts, please show all your courage!" ”

After speaking, I saw him run two steps quickly, ran to the front of the team, and personally opened the way for the army under his command.

There are still more than 1,200 ashigaru troops in the middle and south routes, they already know that the enemy's ninja army will make the most difficult struggle, what they have to do is to block the main enemy, as long as the army chasing behind arrives, then with several times the advantage of the enemy, it is completely possible to annihilate them.

But they still underestimated the combat power of these ninjas, and as soon as they engaged them, they soon discovered that these more than 500 ninjas were completely breaking through at any cost, although this caused a lot of casualties to the enemy, but it was only a blink of an eye, and the ninjas who rushed to the front were about to pass through the intercepting team.

And at this moment, the Takeda Army, which was chasing behind, finally arrived, and all the ninja troops running in the middle and behind were completely trapped by the Takeda Army.

Wasuka Masakatsu had already led dozens of ninjas to rush out, but when he looked back, he found that there were only more than thirty ninjas behind him, and the rest were surrounded by enemies.

At this moment, he had already killed the red eyes, and just wanted to lead the army to turn over to rescue, but he only heard one of the trapped ninjas shouting loudly: "Commander, go quickly, even if your subordinates die, they will have to drag a few more pads." Remember to help your subordinates take revenge, ah! ”

Because the ninja was only concerned with shouting and urging the defense, he was stabbed in the back of the heart by a shot from the enemy.

At this moment, I saw that the enemy reinforcements from the north had arrived, and they were rushing to this side, even if they fought again, I am afraid it would be impossible to rescue them, although Wasuka Masakatsu was reluctant to be trapped in the hundreds of brothers in the enemy army, but he could not do anything, only heard him grit his teeth and said: "We can't live up to the kindness of our brothers, let's go, it won't be long before we will avenge the brothers who died in battle!" After saying that, I saw him continue to run in the direction of Takayama City. …,

Hundreds of Takeda family ashigaru did not give up the pursuit, the distance between the two sides is not far, only a dozen meters, even if you can't catch up with the dozens of ninjas in front, you can also take advantage of the chaos to attack Takayama City, once Takayama City misses, then the Takayama army will be defeated, and even the family name is difficult to keep.

Their ideas are good, but the Takayama army has already prepared, only to see that on both sides of the gate of Takayama Castle, three hundred heavy wisteria bow ashigaru has already been prepared, as soon as Wasuka Masakatsu stepped into the city gate, three hundred sharp arrows came out of the string, at this time the hundreds of troops of the Takeda family were only less than ten meters away from the city, even the two hundred new ashigaru of the heavy wisteria bow could easily shoot the target, after the rain of arrows, all the Takeda family Ashigaru who rushed to the front had several or a dozen arrows inserted into the body, and they were completely shot into hedgehogs.

That's not all, when the rain of arrows passed, the sound of dense iron cannons followed, and the two hundred Ashigaru who arrived in the city first to set up defenses used the iron cannons in their hands to vent the anger in their chests mercilessly.

After a round of heavy wisteria bowshigaru and iron cannon ashigaru shooting, more than 100 of the hundreds of ashigaru of the Takeda family fell to the ground, and the rest of the city saw that the heavy wisteria ashigaru had already drawn sharp arrows from the quiver, how could they still be killed in front of the hundred, so they turned around and ran, but even if they ran fast, they couldn't shoot faster than the speed of the arrow, and the big bow Jinglian didn't want to let them go at all, just listened to his order, and another round of arrow rain shot towards the enemy, and after the enemy left dozens of lives, he finally retreated outside the shot.

With the addition of more than 1,500 ninjas in the Wind Demon, the resistance of the Takayama ninja army was quickly extinguished, but the hundreds of trapped ninjas of the Takayama family knew that they would die today, so they took a fighting style, while they were killed, they also brought hundreds of casualties to the Takeda army, and under the siege of several times the enemy, they could also achieve such results, which not only required strong combat power, but if there was no firm heart, it could not be done.
