Chapter 600: The Pursuit of Tianshen Mountain
The huge momentum caused by Wang Tianxie's burning of Dayue City, the sick fox Asakura Yoshijing, who was located in the main formation of the Asakura family in Tianshen Mountain, could be said to have witnessed the whole process very clearly, and it was more high-definition than the high-definition video of Wang Tianxie's previous life.
At this moment, he panicked, and the fall of Dayue Castle made him feel that his main formation in Tianshen Mountain was in danger.
"Gentlemen! Tomorrow Yinshi is completely burning down the main formation of Tianshen Mountain, and the whole army retreats in two ways! Yoshitoshi Kawai led a formation of 3,000 troops to lead the enemy to the mouth of Nakakawachi, and this formation retreated with me through the mouth of the sword to Yanase Castle. He hurriedly summoned all the elders and announced loudly to everyone present.
His order naturally aroused opposition from the elders of the Asakura family and the rest of the family. As the elder of the family, the Yamazaki Yoshiya shouted loudly to the Yijing sick fox: "The main hall, if you retreat, there is no need to set fire to it at all!" Moreover, once the fire is set on fire, it will be clear that the ghost of the Oda family is going to retreat! ”
"Stupid! In any case, we must not leave the main formation we built with our own hands to that ghost as a base for supplies! Even if the ghost sees the light of the fire and knows that we have retreated, it will have to take some time to put out the fire and recuperate before it can continue to pursue us. Yoshijing pointed at Yoshiya Yamazaki and shouted.
"But by then, it's already dawn! And we've already arrived at Yanase Castle! Therefore, this Tenjin Mountain main formation must be set on fire to block the attack of that ghost. Asakura Yoshikyo continued to shout.
Seeing him say this, all the elders and important ministers present stopped talking, and stood up one after another and began to prepare for the withdrawal of the army.
It's a pity that Asakura Yoshikei, the sick fox, didn't know about it at all. His withdrawal had already been detected by Wang Tianxie.
Asakura Yoshikei planned to set fire to the retreat at 3 a.m. on the 19th of July, the first day of the reign of Wang Tianxi.
And Wang Tianxie was just after the ugly time, that is, at one o'clock in the morning in the previous life. He called Maeda Keiji, Takenaka Hanbei, Ikeda Nobuyuki, and even all the samurai above the rank of general of the Oda family to the front.
"Xinhui, you are leading a team of four thousand horsemen to go out of battle, and the target is the main formation of the Asakura army of Tianshen Mountain." Wang Tianxie looked at Ikeda Nobuyi and gave him such an order, and after the other party heard it, he hurriedly agreed loudly.
"Qingci, you are leading the four thousand ghost army cavalry team to also go out at the same time, and the target is Longmen Temple outside the valley city. You follow this mountain path. Ignore anyone you encounter on the way, take the Longmen Temple as quickly as possible and arrange the main formation. Wang Tianxie pointed to the topography map of the mountains and rivers of Echizen Province and commanded loudly.
"Imperial Will!" Keiji Maeda also replied loudly.
Judging from the topography map of the mountains and rivers, the route he wants to take is not an easy road to take. Instead, it went almost in a straight line, ignoring all the smooth roads and castles and villages along the way, and directly climbed over two large mountains to reach Ichijo Valley Castle.
However, Keiji Maeda looks confident. There was no hint of flinching at all.
"Half-guards. You lead a convoy of 6,000 horsemen across the Jizo Mountains to attack Tsuruga Omote, and again, ignore anyone you meet along the way. Wang Tianxie looked at a certain superb pseudo-girl who looked exactly like Xue Ji's little Lori.
"I will lead the remaining 4,000 ghost troops in pursuit behind the asakura Yoshikage's sick fox's ass. Hum! Presumably, in order to confuse us, that guy will definitely split his troops into two ways! However, no matter how he divides his troops, the main camp will definitely go to Yanase Castle from the mouth of the sword, and then retreat to Tsuruga Hor. Therefore, the responsibility of the half-guard is very heavy. Wang Tianxie continued to say to the half-soldier guard of Takenaka.
"Yes! Master! After listening to Wang Tianxie's words, the half-guards of Takenaka also led the order loudly.
"You! You go to Hideyoshi Hashiba. Tell him that my ghost army has been dispatched to attack the Asakura army's main formation! Tonight, the Asakura army will definitely withdraw their main camp from Mt. Tenjin to Yanase Castle by night. As soon as the Asakura army retreated, the monkey was then in pursuit. Annihilate them in one fell swoop. Wang Tianxie pointed to a low-level samurai who was in charge of heralding orders.
This low-ranking samurai named Kanamatsu Matashiro hurriedly bowed and saluted loudly, and then ran all the way to the place where the wild samurai of the monkey Hashiba Hideyoshi was stationed.
Wang Tianxie glanced at the back of Jin Matsu Youshiro, and then with a wave of his right hand, he pulled out the "Demon Knife" conjured up by the joint efforts of Tianling Da Lori and the third princess Caiji of foodies. Oni Flash Pill" Da Tai Dao, roaring in his mouth: "Gentlemen! It's time to wash away the shame of Kanesaki Castle! The whole army is out of battle! ”
"Hey, hey!"
Ikeda Nobuki was in charge of guarding Heiankyo at the beginning, so he did not participate in the retreat of Jinqi. However, if the Oda family loses the battle, it is natural that he, a retainer, will also feel that his face will be damaged.
Therefore, he also roared loudly with Maeda Keiji, Takenaka Hanbei, and even all the samurai above the rank of general, as if he wanted to express the resentment in his heart.
The Oda family's army was out, and the ground shook as the iron hooves of the horses were trampled underfoot.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! In the main hall, the ghosts of the Oda family attacked our army at night! Tomita Nagashi, who was originally on guard on the periphery of the main camp of the Asakura army on Mt. Tenjinshan, suddenly rushed into the main camp tent of the main camp with a panicked expression and prayed to the sick fox of Asakura Yoshikage.
"Yaga! That ghost is going to kill me! Army! Set fire to it immediately, then retreat as planned! Asakura Yoshikyo scolded and immediately gave the order to retreat.
The same is the battle, the psychology of the retreater and the pursuer, but it can definitely be called "worlds apart".
For the pursued, they must bear double psychological pressure, in addition to wanting to escape to a safe place, they must always be on the alert of the enemy chasing behind, and the degree of effort is definitely far greater than that of the pursuer.
And as a pursuer, it is definitely a proper morale. All you need to do is chase behind the enemy in one go, constantly put pressure on the enemy, and give full play to your greatest advantage as the pursuer.
At this time, Asakura Yoshijing was like this, he didn't expect that his soldiers were divided into two ways, and he was actually recognized by Wang Tianxi, the "ghost of the Oda family".
The Oda family's military formation ignored the 3,000 army led by Yoshitomo Kawai in order to lure the enemy to the mouth of Nakakawachi, and instead chased after the prey as if it had found the real prey.
The only thing the Yijing sick fox can do at the moment is to ride, ride, and ride in the direction of Yanase Castle with one mind.
In order to make the war horse run desperately, the whip in his hand has been deformed by him, and even the horse's buttocks have been stabbed by him.
He is not the only one in a similar situation, all the elders and important ministers of the Asakura family who follow him are also doing the same thing.
As for the pursuers behind them, they didn't have the heart to stop and watch at all. If you stop now, you will definitely be swallowed by Wang Taixi's four thousand Oda Oni Army horseback team.
It's just that although he can't stop and look back, through the perspective on both sides, the sick fox Asakura Yoshikai can vaguely see the two horse riding teams, as if they are racing horses, and they are about to overtake the war horses under his crotch.
"Ji family, what is that?" The Yijing sick fox continued to urge the war horse to gallop, and shouted loudly while pointing to the faint military formation in the distance.
Yamazaki Yoshiya looked in the direction pointed by the Yoshijing sick fox, and his face suddenly changed greatly.
"The Great Hall! It should be the military formation of the Oda family, and the goal seems to be, it seems, it seems, it may be Ichijo Valley Castle, right? But...... But...... This shouldn't be! How could the Oda family take that road to Ichijo Valley Castle, which is all rugged and uneven mountainous terrain! Yoshiya Yamazaki looked at the horseback team that was galloping and said with a panicked face.
He didn't know that it was the 4,000 Oda Oni Army cavalry led by Keiji Maeda, but judging from the direction in which the cavalry was heading, it was indeed in the direction of Ichijo Valley Castle.
At this moment, Asakura Yoshijing's sick fox's face became even more ugly, and he couldn't guess what Wang Tianxie planned to do.
For human beings, only the unknown is the most terrifying thing. This is also why, those horror movies in Wang Tianxie's previous life will definitely make an empty scene, and then add low sound effects or no sound effects at all, condensing a scene that makes the protagonist completely unaware of what is going on.
Asakura Yoshikage, the sick fox, was almost the same at the moment, except for the sound of horses' hooves "clicking, ......", only the faint Oda family horseback riding team remained, and even this team quickly disappeared from his sight, as if it had never appeared.
At this moment, the psychological pressure brought to the Yijing sick fox can be said to be extremely heavy.
In his opinion at this moment, the only way out at the moment was to enter Yanase Castle smoothly and rely on Yanase Castle to resist, so as to create time for the withdrawal of troops.
After all, there is still about seven or eight miles between Yanase Castle and Tsuruga Omote. If a war horse gallops at the fastest speed, it can only travel one and a half to two miles at most in an hour. In other words, Asakura Yoshikei will take four hours at the earliest.
The problem was that Asakura Yoshikei was still about three miles away from Yanase Castle, and he was not at all confident that he would be able to reach Yanase Castle smoothly at the moment.
Even if he didn't look back, he could feel that Wang Tianxie was chasing after him all the time.
The deafening shouting of killing was not covered, not to mention that the murderous aura that was condensed like substance was constantly impacting his body, making him feel as if he was in the Hell of the Three Paths River and the Nine Shadows.
"Damn it! That ghost of the Oda family didn't even get the trick! If I had known this, I should have asked Kawai Yoshito lead the 3,000 army to break the formation, and give me a desperate fight to resist that ghost, instead of leading the enemy to the mouth of the middle river! Asakura Yoshikei screamed angrily while slapping the horse's buttocks under his crotch.
"The Great Hall! Now is not the time to say such things! The most important thing now is to return to Yanase Castle, so that you can use the location to fight that ghost to the death! Yamazaki Yoshiya shouted loudly beside Yoshikei Asakura.
"Yaga! Yaga! Yaga! Yaga! How can it be repaired! I'm! Asakura Yoshikage seemed to be very angry, and scolded viciously. (To be continued......)
