After the captain's affairs came to an end, Yu Qiuhei asked Mimaezaki Nakahide and the 6oo veterans and a group of officers who were rated as Seiriya and left Takaya Castle and went to Maple Leaf Mountain Castle to train Takenaka Shige. The recruited recruits will also be trained to the front line of Takaya Castle soon after, with Fukushima Ansei and Charlie in charge of training. According to the rules, all newly enlisted footmen must be trained with spearmen as the standard to cultivate their discipline and team consciousness. Among the veterans, 450 people were selected to practice iron cannons.

After everything was done, Yu Qiuhei went to inspect the cavalry training grounds in the north castle of Takaya Castle. Yu Qiuhei's cavalry suffered losses in its previous combat effectiveness and had been compensated by newly trained cavalry. However, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry made Yu Qiuhei feel a little worried - the cavalry of Yamato has never been famous for their good combat, but the cavalry of Yu Qiuhei could not even defeat them in the upright hedge. So Yu Qiuhei found Hoshiyama Shishi, Kobata Katsumoto, Maeda Keiji and other cavalry officers to discuss with him.

"Your Highness, I told you ten years ago that you can't train cavalry with the kind of training infantry training." When Maeda Kyoji heard Yu Qiuping mention this, he immediately complained.

He said as he pointed at the cavalry that was undergoing neat queue training on the school ground. They were lined up in a horizontal and vertical square formation, and the distance between the two riders was very close. Two adjacent riders were required to hold a rattan card with their knees. Keeping such a close distance, everyone was charging together, and there was no disconnection, the cards were not neat and the queues were scattered, and the rattan card could not fall to the ground - this was the way Yuqiu family trained cavalry for ten years.

"You always say that you can practice discipline in this way, and you always say that you can practice everyone's horse skills in this way, but the cavalry does not rely on discipline to make a living! When you really get on the battlefield, everyone spread their formations and fights on their own, one-on-one, and they are all comparing their own cavalry and chopping skills! Your infantry cooperation with each other, and the dense formations are not available at all!"

The more Maeda Kyoji said, he became more and more angry, and he made several exaggerated gestures and said, "Who would line up the cavalry in a square formation and fight against the opposite side? Everyone can only charge by scattering loose formations! Maintaining such a dense formation, people rushing over the opposite side can't hide! And the horses cannot run fast at all, and the slow side is going to die in the cavalry hedge! You see, you have been practicing for so long, and you really have to go to the battlefield. Don't we still scatter the formation and charge? It's not use it at all! Your Highness, you formulated such training methods to fight with me, but it killed the Yuqiu cavalry!"

"Isn't there any problem before?" Yu Qiuhei was told the pain by Maeda Keiji and admitted his mistake awkwardly. "Before, the cavalry were basically used to cover, investigate, and pursue. There were not many experiences of facing the head-on attack - and we didn't suffer any losses when facing the head-on attack at that time!"

"No matter what, I have to change it anyway! Change the training method as you said." Yu Qiupi patted his head, which was considered a mistake for Maeda Kyoji. "Train everyone's riding skills! Don't even the Matsunaga family's cavalry can't beat."

On April 22, the invasion of the Honanji family came indeed. However, the Yuqiu family, who had been prepared for a long time, was not too panicked. The people hid in nearby forts, and the Honanji army, who lacked siege equipment, had no choice but to cut off their contact and tried to surround Luocheng.

At this time, Hoshiribe, who had been on standby for a long time, immediately came out of the battle and rescued the surrounded hamlets one by one under the command of Omaezaki Nakahide. Although Hoshiribe had not been training for a long time, there were 8oo veterans there and their combat effectiveness was very high. Omaezaki Nakahide took advantage of the opportunity when the Honanji family did not understand the details of the new army and won two battles and forced the Honanji vanguard back to the Neiyakawa area.

When Honanji finally realized that this army under the banner of Willow Branch was the elite troops of the Yuqiu system, and was definitely not comparable to the Hanoi Guardian Army. They had missed the fighter plane. Important passes and ferries were occupied by Shiriyao. They relied on 45o iron cannons and dense water net terrain to defend, making it difficult for Honanji to march into Hanoi on a large scale.

After Honanji attacking the Oda family and seeking harmony with the Miyo family, the Miyo family was able to withdraw his hands and march into Higashitsu. The Oda army relied on Akutagawa Yama Castle and Takasuke Castle as defense lines and fought with the Miyo family. With the fighting of Shibada Katsuki, they barely repelled the Miyo family's attack.

Just when the situation was extremely stalemate, something unexpected happened to the Oda family. Originally, he was eager to try, and seemed to plan to destroy the Oda family's Mio family, and the Honanji Temple, which was just rushing to break up with the Oda family not long ago, the Matsunaga family suspended the offensive, but instead withdrew the territory. Now there are still some time before autumn harvest, and there is no reason why they will leave in such a hurry. However, although Oda Nobunaga did not understand, he decided to withdraw his troops when he saw this. After all, his large number of troops were stranded in Kinki, and the pressure to replenish the Noo area was too great.

The dark clouds that were originally condensed above Kinki suddenly dissipated without warning, which was unexpected by everyone. Except for the few insiders.

"What's going on? What's going on? Danzheng, what's going on?" In a remote small temple in Yamachiko, Ashikaga Yoshiki was cursing at Matsue-Julyhide who was lurking here in secret, "I'm all going to start the next plan! What's going on here? Why did you suddenly stop the encirclement?"

"The friend from the east has had a small accident and can't take action for the time being." Matsunaga Hikaru was not angry at all in the face of Ashikaga Yoshiki's scolding and whispered calmly.

"What happened? Didn't I promised it all? I'll decide the north side, so there will be no worries!" Ashikaga Yoshiki seemed to feel that his authority was suspected and added angrily.

"No, don't get me wrong." Matsu Yongjiuxiu smiled and twitched the corner of her mouth, "It's just that she's old and not well."

"What should I do now? The arrow is on the string, I have to." Ashikaga Yoshiki turned his back and did not go to see Matsunaga Hikari, but looked at the endless mountains to the east. "I have planned it for so long, if he doesn't recover from his illness, I won't have to let it go!"

"Please rest assured to Gongfang Palace. In any case, this winter will definitely be able to make a trip." Matsue Yuuki raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea cup in front of him, sniffed a deep sip of the tea fragrance, and sighed in a low voice: "That person, even if he bet on his life, he will take a look at Kyoto."

On September 3, the weather turned colder, and the situation in Kinki fell to freezing point again. Yasuka Tomoya, Miyoshi Nagai, and Miyoshi Yoshihiko once again gathered in Kazumi, intending to attack Nanhanoi. However, in the past few months, Yu Qiuping had also absorbed the small families of Nanhanoi into the parliament, and their troops were also incorporated into the Hanoi police force. With Takaya Castle as the core, Yu Qiuping built several defensive systems layer by layer, with Takababa Benchon being the defense. Horizon Benchon and Makita Benchon Benchon remained at Sakaimachi and Wakaoe Castle - Maple Leaf Mountain Castle respectively.

At the same time, Miyoshi Nagaki, Miyoshi Yoshi, and Tokawa Ichizu are also on the shore of Kazuki. At the junction of Kazuki, Matsunagaki Hide also drove his troops to the northeast of Maple Leaf Mountain Castle, intending to launch a fierce attack on the Oda family territory again. Oda Nobunaga was not vague and ordered Shibata Katsuya from Minoe to immediately rush to help, and he himself led the troops of Ohashi, Mino and Ise to gather troops and immediately went west to Kyoto to compete with the anti-Oda forces. After arriving in Kyoto, he immediately arranged for Ikeda Hiroki, Takigawa Ichii, Ninoha Nagahide and others to lead a large army to Hanoi in Yuqie, preparing to cooperate with Yuqie to start the offensive from the southern line and take down the last foothold of the Sanyoshi family in Mikoki, Waizumi.

However, this time, the Honganji family, and the Matsunaga family did not rush to attack, but instead started a quiet battle with the Oda family on the front line, and seemed to be in no hurry. The Oda family was confused again, but still vaguely noticed a strange atmosphere in the air.

On January 24, to everyone's surprise, the Honganji family and the Matsunaga family suddenly launched a fierce attack on the Oda family from various fronts. The Oda family was prepared and was not caught off guard.

"It is obvious that the anti-Oda family forces must have had some contact in private." Takenaka Shigeji made a judgment that night, "and if he can cooperate like this, he must have important figures in the league."

"Banbingwei, who are you referring to?" Yu Qiuping was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly felt that the history of his previous life seemed to have reappeared in front of him.

"It's not someone else, it's very likely that it's His Highness the General."

Facts have proved that Takenaka Shigeji's judgment is not wrong.

On January 25, Ashikaga Yoshiki suddenly raised an army in Yamacai Kingdom, gathered his three-ooo people and attacked Akichi Mitsuhide, who was left by Kyoto. At the same time, he called on the world Daimyo and asked everyone to fight against Oda Nobunaga who was planning to subvert the shogunate. It seemed that he had made an appointment. That afternoon, the Hatano family and the Iso family announced their uprising to respond to Ashikaga Yoshiki's call. The Hatano family's troops poured into Yamacai through the borders between Yamacai Kingdom and Tamba, and the Iso family's troops were also on the way to support.

Akichi Mitsuhide, who was more than enough to deal with Ashikaga Yoshiki, had to withdraw from Kyoto due to the sudden appearance of the reinforcements of Hatano family and beg for reinforcements from Oda Nobunaga. Oda Nobunaga was so angry that he cursed and hurriedly drew nearly 10,000 people from the front line and the Minami Omi left-behind troops to help Kyoto to ensure that the future path was not lost.

However, before the Oda family recovered, Omi was in chaos again. The Asakura family, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly announced their uprising on the afternoon of the 25th. After the two coalition forces met on the 27th, they rushed towards Yokoyama Castle, Kamabian Castle, which was stationed by Kinshita Hideyoshi. The Hexaki family lurking in the Koga Mountain District also rose up again, harassing the supply line of the Minami Omi Oda family.

Oda Nobunaga was shocked when he heard this - if Yokoyama Castle and Kamari Castle were lost, the official roads of the Oda family army and Ohashi, Mino and Ise would be cut off. However, in order to deal with the sudden uprising of Ashikaga Yoshihiro, Oda Nobunaga had almost sent all the reserve teams at hand to Yamaki Kingdom to fight. There was no way to withdraw them from the front line at present, otherwise the front line would be in danger of collapse.

Oda Nobunaga had no choice but to order all units to shrink their fronts and turn to the defense in full, trying to squeeze out the troops to reinforce Kinishang Hideyoshi. However, Kinishang Hideyoshi was weak and could not stop the Asai-Asakura coalition, Yokoyama Castle, and Kamabre Castle were soon lost, and Kinishang Hideyoshi had to lead his troops to retreat to Sai-Yama Castle. Relying on his outstanding military command ability, Sai-Yama Castle was able to ensure that it was not lost. Asai-Asakura coalition changed its policy and surrounded Sai-Yama Castle from all directions, setting up a joint camp around Sai-Yama Castle. Although Sai-Yama Castle was not lost, the connection between the two territories of the Oda family had actually been cut off. The reinforcements, with Shibata Katsuya, came late after Sai-Yama Castle was surrounded, and immediately tried to relieve Sai-Yama Castle, but were defeated by Asai Nagamasa. In helpless, he had to ask Oda Nobunaga for reinforcements.

Seeing that all the forces around seemed to have formed a siege against the Oda family, Oda Nobunaga himself was also confused. He was in the siege, and the troops in Yama Castle were all restrained and could not be mobilized at all. He had to order the troops on the southern front to give up the attack and let Yu Qiuping lead his three reserve troops out of contact, preparing to transfer Yu Qiu's army to Omi to relieve Sahe Yama Castle.

Yu Qiuping had already assembled the troops and even organized another newly cast three-pound cannon into the gun group and arranged it into the troops. Just as he was about to go on the road, a bad news suddenly came from the east.
