Chapter 227: Heading South

Matsunaga Xiu looked up at the sky, it was past noon at this time, and he was inevitably a little anxious.

As Yiyin said, war horses are expensive, and the food they eat in battle is fine food.

She crossed the Yodo River last night, and if there is no result today, she will return to the north shore by tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

This battle is the last chance that Miyoshi Changqing gave her, if she can't grasp it. The charge of the whole army to empty the armament was enough to behead her.

"My lord, there are about thirty horsemen from the north chasing me."

Hearing this, Matsunaga Xiu's spirits perked.

"Is it Spo Yiyin himself?"

"Look at the finger is the Spoburn array of horses, and there is a formation flag behind it, with the Spo's family pattern."

"Good!"

In order to expel the enemy army faster, Yiyin showed his presence in the choice of flag, hoping to scare the opponent away.

Who knows, this move actually exposed himself, which made Matsunaga Xiu ecstatic.

She didn't have to find a way to meet with the Spo cavalry and confirm the real person, she just had to hook Spo Yiyin and run.

Yiyin saw that the enemy cavalry really fled from the wind, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Lao Tzu can be regarded as a fierce general who can stop crying at night, this raising of the flag, scaring pee, right? Hahaha.

Seeing the enemy galloping westward, he thought he was returning to the riverbank, so he hung behind him and gave them a ride.

Spo Tongren is an elite Ji warrior who is loyal to him, and it is distressing whether he can go to war or not.

While riding a horse, Matsunaga Shu observed whether the Spo cavalry was keeping up, and saw that Yoshiin was hanging behind him, so he was relieved.

Repeated seduction is easy to make people suspicious, and it is best to take the bait once.

Yiyin followed for a while, and when he saw the enemy army in front of him turning south, his brows tightened.

These guys are still not dead? Want to go back and continue to harass the logistics line from the south?

He was also worried about fraud, and if he thought about it carefully, it was not a big problem to go south and stay away from the Miyoshi army.

Simply drive this cavalry farther away, and then return to the army.

As long as they do nothing today, tomorrow they will run out of food and grass, and they will only have to slip back to the other side.

After thinking clearly, he went south.

Matsunaga Hideki was overjoyed to see the Spo cavalry following south, and said to a samurai on horseback.

"You leave the queue and head west, where Shinohara-sama's Awa is lurking.

I have made an appointment with her, and when she sees your flag, she will go out of her own way. ”

The knight exclaimed, struck his horse and left.

The cavalry beside Yiyin said to him.

"Your Highness, one of the enemy's horsemen has left the team and left west."

"Regardless of her, we just expel and prepare to return to the army after chasing for a while."

"Hey!"

———

In the distance, Shinohara, Nagabo saw the samurai on horseback galloping past with the Miyoshi Finger Flag, and gave an order.

"The whole army is forward, and the formation is set up to the north to block the enemy! Leave a reserve in the south to guard against the return of enemy cavalry. ”

"Hey!"

———

Earlier.

Jiaoxingsi Village is a wild village with Jiaoxingsi Temple as a landmark building and homeless people gathering.

During the two strikes, the village was infested several times and was already in dilapidation.

Miyoshi Nagayi crossed the river in the distance last night, and arrived here after a tired night.

In the village, the smoke of breakfast rose, and she coldly ordered.

"The reserves were surrounded on all sides and slaughtered the village. It is forbidden to light a fire to burn the village, collect grain and bury it in a pot to make rice. ”

There are a lot of people in Settsu, and this time it was an ambush again. Naturally, it is to slaughter the village to grab food, and it is easy to do things only when it lurks in the village.

His subordinate Ji Warrior said more.

"Your Highness, the man in the village."

Miyoshi Changyi glared at her.

"Have a good rest after eating, and have business to do later.

All men, women, and children were slaughtered, so as not to leak the news.

If there is a reckless act of the Ji samurai, it will be dealt with by military law. ”

The samurai of the Princesses are awe-inspiring.

"Hey!"

The village was surrounded by a large army, and the village was also discovered, and there was a commotion.

It's a pity that in the face of the army, all resistance is in vain.

Heaven is not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs.

———

Yiyin just wanted to go south, but his mind turned and he said to the people around him.

"You go back and tell Akechi Ji. I went a little south to drive away the enemy horsemen, and then went back at once. ”

"Hey!"

After saying that, Yiyin led the cavalry to the south, and only rode north to return.

From above, a group of men and horses behind him slowly marched eastward, blocking the way home.

In front of him, the village of Kyokoji Temple. A group of centaurs were feasting and resting, waiting for him to enter the urn.

When Matsui Hisahide saw Yoshiyin coming, he was very excited, gritted his teeth and rode his horse, and continued to travel south with him.

———

Wise Mitsuhide was shocked when he heard the return of the congregation.

"There is fraud! There is fraud! ”

This cavalry is just too strange.

Ben couldn't see the other party's purpose clearly, but the Lord was attracted to the south, which alerted Akechi Mitsuhide.

The shogunate army was full of holes, the samurai had their own ghosts, and the information on the affairs of the army was clear on the other side.

The Spo family is new to the school, and naturally it is no exception, everything is under the prying eyes of the Miyoshi family.

The advantages and disadvantages of the Spo army are obvious, and the military strength is only dependent on Yiyin alone.

The army is not to mention the battle, the elite is dispatched, and only Yoshiin himself can make the Iga people willing to take out the elite to follow.

The rest of the Spo family had no such prestige at all.

The Miyoshi family calculated this correctly, so they harassed Spo's logistics line and succeeded in luring Spo Yiyin out.

The more Wise Guangxiu thought about it, the more scared she became, she hadn't thought about it before, but she was rational enough to see Miyoshi Changqing, a heroic heroine.

Spo Yoshiin is the only descendant of the Spo family and an orphan of the Ashikaga family.

Once he was ambushed and sniped, what was the face of the Ashikaga shogun? Where does the Ashikaga shogunate have face?

If you die in a battle, no one can blame anyone.

But if he dies in a deliberate ambush, it will be a complete tear of the shogun's face.

As long as Miyoshi Chokei still wants to enter the shogunate, he must give Ashikaga Yoshiki face.

Because what she wants is to integrate into the guardian system, not overturn it completely.

So, Akechi Mitsuhide didn't think of the other party's purpose.

Miyoshi Changqing was blinded by the hatred of killing his sister and daughter, and he was bent on revenge, ignoring even the overall strategic situation of Miyoshi's family.

Once Yiyin dies in an ambush, no one can say whether the general will endure or overturn the chess game.

Miyoshi Changqing is gambling, and it is a big gamble with no certainty.

Thinking profusely, Akechi Mitsuhide summoned the princesses to discuss the matter.

Zhu Ji had just arrived, and the Tongxin people who had just been sent by Akechi Mitsuhide to dissuade Yiyin from turning back rushed in and said with a look of horror.

"Wise Lord, the way south is broken.

I hurried to chase His Highness, who knew that on the way, I encountered the Miyoshi army in formation, and they blocked the way south! ”

Akechi Mitsuhide took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

Now it's true, Sanhao Changqing is the Lord's life.

She squinted, her eyes shining fiercely.

At this point, nothing can be cared about. What logistics line, what is deferential to the shogunate, what is friendly to the shogunate, all the special throw aside.

All I want is the Lord! Bring the Lord back!

Wise Mitsuhide said to the concentric people.

"You hurry up and go to Iimoriyama Castle and tell Maeda Hime.

The Lord was led to the south by the Miyoshi Army, and his life was in danger.

Let her gather the cavalry and immediately set out to rescue, and the other troops will be dispatched.

The southbound road is blocked by the Miyoshi army, and I will send troops to cover her and let her rush through the obstacles.

Just go! ”

Iimori Mountain Castle is a transportation relay point, and there are a large number of horses there, as long as you are not afraid of dead horses, you can quickly form an army to go south.

Therefore, Akechi Mitsuhide pinned his hopes on Maeda's interests, and only she could react quickly and lead troops to support.

Tongxin nodded and left, and the vine forest apricot on the side said.

"As soon as Maeda-sama's army leaves, what will happen to Iimori Yamajo?"

Wise and beautiful face is like frost, at this time, how can he still take care of the city.

Seeing that Fuji Lin Xing actually said such stupid things, he was angry.

sneered, ready to brainwash Zhu Ji.
