Chapter 55 Heavy setbacks and finally retreat to seize the city

The night faded and the battle cleared up with the sky.

The frenzied herds escaped the battlefield or were killed one after another, and the Shinano pursuers returned to Uminoguchi Castle after dropping more than 100 corpses. The surviving generals of the Takeda clan each led the remnants of the army, and they all came to Takeda Shintora to bow down and greet him.

Fate, Takeda Shintora was completely in danger last night. At that time, he was staying in the depths of the village with Takeda Shingen, surrounded by many guards, and the sporadic fire bulls were quickly led away and killed by the guards.

But the cattle and rebels who poured into the village knocked down the horse prints and trampled on the fires along the way. Although Takeda Shintora shouted loudly and tried to reveal his identity and gather the remnants of the army around him, the darkness and chaotic noise around him completely drowned out all the shouts and clamors he issued, and his attempts to regroup had little effect.

Therefore, he and Jingzhen thought of a place, led Takeda Shingen and the remaining guards, and on the one hand towards the position where the horse seal in front of the village had fallen, while gathering nearby soldiers and horses.

Later, when he saw that Jingzhen in front of the village took the lead and erected the horse seal first, Takeda Shinhu and Shingen immediately approached the past, just in time for the moment when Mochizuki Chiyo bent his bow and sniped Jingzhen. Takeda Shingen, who is good at archery, immediately shot over the war horse under Chiyo Mochizuki's crotch, causing the arrow he was determined to win completely missed, thus saving Jingzhen's life.

As the ministries reported the losses, the atmosphere in the village had fallen to freezing.

Although it relied on Jingzhen's hard work, last night the Takeda Army finally avoided the most serious consequences such as bombing the camp on the spot, roaring, and dispersing. However, the strength of the 5,000 troops before the war was reduced to more than 3,000 in one go, and almost all of the remaining soldiers were wounded, like frightened birds.

There is no way to continue this battle......

"Retire!"

The three words spit out from Takeda Shintora's mouth, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and the whole person instantly aged ten years old.

When the battle-hardened generals heard this, although there was still a look of unwillingness on their faces, they all breathed a sigh of relief, and no one wanted to continue to stay under the flesh and blood mill of Sea Mouth City.

"Then, please let Erchen serve as the palace army!"

Different from the historical battle of the mouth of Shanghai, although the Takeda army also returned in vain, but mainly due to the heavy snow, there were not too many losses, Takeda Shingen took the initiative to ask Ying to serve as the queen of the palace, and was ridiculed by Takeda Shinhu, who laughed and called:

"With such heavy snowfall, the enemy can't pursue it at all, so what's the use of the palace army? And why use you to serve as the palace army? If the heir to the head of the Takeda family actually served as the queen of the palace in this kind of battle, the world would laugh at us and say that we were afraid of the enemy! ”

At this time, such a dilapidated and demoralized army was going to return to Kai across the narrow and easy Shinshu Ridge surrounded by enemies, and the temple army became an extremely risky move that was enough to show supreme courage. Therefore, Takeda Shintora did not make a joke, but looked deeply at his eldest son for a long time, and saw that his eyes were bright and did not flinch at all, and finally sighed and said:

"Yes, as the next governor of the family and the heir of my Takeda Shintora, it is time to show responsibility in times of crisis!"

"I'm with you three hundred warriors, the three armies are up and down for you to choose, and I'm waiting for you to recount your merits!"

Seeing that his request was answered by Takeda Shinhu, Takeda Shingen immediately turned to Jingzhen and hesitated:

"Jingzhen, are you willing to stay and help me. I know that this trip is bound to be dangerous, and you have just saved the whole army in the midst of the raging tide, and you really shouldn't put yourself in danger. But...... Well, I don't force it on you, just rely on your subjective intentions. ”

"I don't want to!"

……

Takeda Shingen originally thought that even if Jingzhen would not agree, he should hesitate and tangle and then shirk it, but he never expected that he would refuse directly and ruthlessly. In the past, hand in hand and talking freely, is it all my own illusion? The self-righteous friendship still can't stand the test of life and death after all? For a moment, he was so autistic that he doubted his life.

"Boy, the young master has just saved your life, and you can ignore this kindness! It's really wolf-hearted, I was wrong about you before! ”

Takeda Shingen was still stunned in place, but it was Ganli Hutai who couldn't see it first, and cursed.

"There is no need for Lord Bizen to be like this, everyone has their own ambitions, so why force it. Your Highness, I believe that one person is enough! ”

Takeda Shingen's face just now changed from disbelief and disappointment to regret and finally returned to an expressionless calm, and at this time, he stopped Gan Li Hutai's indignation, but he didn't look at Jingzhen again from beginning to end.

"Yes, my son is not weaker than anyone, so he should have this ambition!" Takeda Shintora patted Takeda Shingen on the shoulder heavily, and said with a rare word of encouragement.

Soon, it was time to part ways. Takeda Shintora personally led the army to pull up the camp and march towards Shinshu; Compared to the large army, the other 300 people who were alone were lined up and left alone.

Standing in the middle of the military situation behind the palace, Takeda Shingen looked in the direction of Uminoguchi Castle from beginning to end, for fear that his father would see the tears in the corners of his eyes, and for fear of seeing that hateful traitor in the team leaving.

"Yes, traitor, you clearly said that you would implement the way of our hearts in the world together, why did you give up here, in the face of this little setback! My friendship, my dreams, what are they in your eyes! ”

"Eh, such a gritted tooth sample, the next governor of the dignified Takeda clan and the heir of the hall owner, Lord Harunobu, actually has such a graceless side."

Just as Takeda Shingen was indulging in self-pity, a tone he hated most at the moment interrupted his reverie at an inopportune time.

"You, didn't you guy leave just now, why did you ......" Huge joy filled the void in his heart, and Takeda Shingen, who was unacceptable for a while, stammered and asked

Jing Zhen held a dog's tail grass that she picked up out of nowhere, and Hang Erlang replied: "After the battle, my military service is also completed, and I can move freely for the rest of my time." I saw that the scenery of this Shinshu wall was unique, so I told the owner of the museum and turned back for a spring outing, and before I knew it, I took my men here. ”

"Well, that's a good reason!"

"Yes, yes, you big-headed ghost! This can also be done?! ”

"Reasonable, why not!"

Without waiting for Takeda Shingen to continue to refute, Jingzhen began to crackle and count.

"My young lord, you are really home! The old man gave you a quota of 300 people, if you stupidly count me as the 100th person first, won't you have to choose 200 people left? ”

"You first pick up the elites of each family and select a full three hundred people, and then I sneak over halfway, can the old man still not allow it? Wouldn't this be a lot of useless prostitution of the 100th available combat power? ”

"White Prostitution ......"

Takeda Shingen listened to Jingzhen's operation, and the impact was even greater than the impact he had just received when he refused to stay. Although I know that this kid is clever and eccentric, this kind of operation is too coquettish, so I can't help but complain:

"For the sake of the one hundred and ten, as for it?"

"Our army has suffered heavy losses, but the other side has not fallen well, and now the fighting strength is estimated to be less than three or four hundred. If you are honest and retreat safely, the three hundred people approved by the old man are more than enough. ”

"But if you want to achieve what you want, an extra soldier is a precious strength!"

"What is in my heart, what is in my heart?"

Listening to Takeda Shingen's rhetorical question, Jingzhen couldn't help but laugh secretly, and opened the eyes of history, how did I not know that you kid was bold enough to directly seize the mouth of the sea in the name of the queen of the palace? At present, even if the situation is worse than history, Takeda Shingen has lost this thief's courage, but this thief's heart is afraid that it will not be reduced at all. Thinking about this verse, I can't help but say seriously:

"Haha, isn't it just to take the mouth of the sea city by the way!"
