It was getting late, and behind the team, that is, to the east, the Chi Bei team of Changjing, Shanxian County, gradually slowed down. It seemed that there was no plan to fight in the field. Seeing Changjing of Shanxian County performing this, Yu Qiuping felt relieved and ordered the troops to walk to the west to start camping. Since all the auxiliary soldiers were left for three days, a series of complicated logistics activities had to let the soldiers wearing sufficient wars come on their own. Although this would greatly consume the physical strength of the war soldiers, Yu Qiuping had no other choice.

Since the intelligence was completely blocked, Yu Qiuhei now looked at the situation in the east. This situation made him feel very bad, because he had always emphasized the role of intelligence, so he specially established the Military Intelligence Department. Although Masayuki Sanada did his best, he still could not see the situation behind Akabe. The Takeda family's army is now unknown. Are they coming immediately after Akabe or staying at Hamamatsu City to repair? Can this information be determined? It is related to whether Yu Qiuhei will rush to evacuate on a torch in the middle of the night tomorrow.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

After nightfall on December 22, a large number of fires could be seen in the southeast. According to estimates, this should be the main force of the Takeda family moving. In other words, they are likely to have left Hamamatsu Castle and are moving towards the northwest, and will meet with the Pioneer's Red Preparatory Team. Yu Qiuping realized the danger of the situation and had to order the troops to retreat. Because in the previous plan, Yu Qiu's army must be 30 miles away from the Takeda army when retreating. If the Takeda army arrives at the Pioneer overnight, the distance between the two sides will be only 5 miles. When the Takeda army dawns tomorrow, the Takeda army will come, and Yu Qiu's army will not be able to escape.

Yu Qiuping rushed over and passed the armored marches, which consumed a lot of physical strength. However, before sleeping for two hours, he had to get up again to travel. Yu Qiuping was also deeply worried about the army's physical strength. So Yu Qiuping trained hard and had enough food, so he could still complete the tasks assigned by Yu Qiuping.

After noticing that Yu Qiuping withdraws his troops, the Chi Bei team of Changjing, Shan County, also rushes to chase after him, and follows Yu Qiuping in a dark place. Yu Qiuping is very nervous because in the dark night when he can't see his fingers, the troops' emotions are very unstable and are likely to collapse due to accidental events. If Chi Bei team rushed over, Yu Qiuping is not sure whether he can stop it. Therefore, he specially ordered the 45o iron gunner of Chang Pan Bei who was cut off to risk fire and load the iron cannon with the torch to guard against the Chi Bei's assault.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Because the road to walk at night was extremely slow, not to mention the fiercely eyed Chi Bei team behind him. The Yu Qiu army did not walk a few miles apart throughout the night. Yu Qiuping looked at the far east, and behind the Chi Bei team - no torches were lit. This means that the Takeda family's large army advanced to the Ii Valley at most and did not continue to pursue it. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that Yu Qiuping was able to distance himself from the Takeda family's large army, and the bad thing is that the Takeda army can rest well for a night to accumulate energy, but Yu Qiuping stayed for most of the night.

As the war is imminent, the number of Takeda troops is greater than expected - Tokugawa Ieyasu is no longer able to help Yuqiuhei to restrain the Takeda army even if it is 1ooo. Therefore, Yuqiuhei attaches great importance to the layout of Shirahara's battlefield. He sent the envoys to Sanha and Shirahara to understand the situation. Before dawn, all the auxiliary troops had successfully retreated into the valley and repaired and widened some mountain roads to facilitate the retreat of Yuqiu's soldiers. Tokugawa Nobuyasu's army in Shirahara had also guarded enough horse-defense fences and horse-resistance fences, and half of the trenches were dug. Since he wanted to design a huge position that accommodates more than 15ooo people, the workload was very large, and it was estimated that it would not be completed until noon.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"It's still time." Yu Qiuping sighed slightly, looked at the gradually brightening sky and ordered the troops to extinguish the torches. Now their location is less than 10 miles away from the entrance of the three-day day. If there were no interference from Takeda's army, Yu Qiuping would have arrived in less than an hour. However, Yu Qiuping knew in his heart that Yama Prefecture Masakyo would not let him go.

Sure enough, just after Yu Qiuping put out the torches, the Chi Bei team behind him suddenly heard a loud roar. More than 600 people threw the torches in their hands on the ground in one go, which seemed quite shocking in the hazy morning mist. Immediately afterwards, the Chi Bei team dispersed into a relatively loose cavalry rushing formation and attacked the Yu Qiu army.

"Here is here!" Yu Qiuping immediately ordered Fukushima Ansei to stop, "Ansei, Changban is ready to fight against the enemy!"

"Yes!" After receiving the order, Fukushima Ansei immediately ordered the flag bearer to shake the flag of Chang Panbei's team, and the order was passed down layer by layer. The entire army, who had already strode towards the west, immediately stood firm, and then after a few short Chinese instructions, the entire army turned back and looked right. Chang Panbei's three companies listed hollow square formations, standing in a font shape, and the first row of spearmen located on the outer periphery knelt on one knee, the second row bounced out the spears from the first row's light shoulder, and the third row pointed the spears diagonally high in the sky, posing the classic anti-carriage array of Yuqiu's family. Such a formation can effectively prevent the cavalry from detouring on the flanks.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"So fast." Yama Prefecture Masakyo snorted coldly when he saw this. "While a dozen breaths, the reserve team that had just retreated was like a frightened hedgehog, and instantly exposed a steel needle. No wonder Imakawajima's department, Miyao Repair, valued this son so much, and it was indeed worthy of his reputation."

Seeing Chang Panbei forming such a formation, Shanxian Changjing asked himself that there was no good chance. Indeed, if Chiba used to rush into the spear formation, he could still rush in with the brave and good fighting Chiba, but the casualties would be very heavy.

Just as Chi Bei was pressing towards Chang Pan Bei's position, Shan County Changjing relied on his intuition of fighting on the battlefield for decades and suddenly realized that something was wrong. He waved his hand suddenly and ordered the troops to disperse to both sides immediately. After a while, Chang Pan Bei fired 45o iron cannons together, and so Shan County Changjing ordered it early, and no Chi Bei was hit and dropped. If he ordered a while later, Chi Bei continued to rush forward, probably more than a dozen people in the front row would be shot into dice.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"I had so many iron cannons hidden, and I thought the previous information was fake." Shanxian Changjing muttered again, and glanced at the highest flags in Yuqiu's army. One maple bird and horse seal, one mountain flag, one bow and arrow flag, and one willow flag.

"It seems that the configuration of the three reserve teams is the same, and the number of iron cannons may not be thousands." Shanxian Changjing frowned and whispered to a messenger, "Erlang, go and report to the lord. The number of iron cannons in Yuqiu army is likely to be thousands, so be careful."

Then, Shanxian Changjing ordered again: "Do not enter the range of iron cannons, just deter them from a long distance!"

Since Chi Bai team has been cruising near Chang Pan Bei, Chang Pan Bei did not dare to restore the marching formation and retreat (otherwise there would be a risk of being rushed to the formation by Chi Bai), he had to keep the alert battle formation moving slowly, which was so slow that it was almost negligible. Yu Qiuping was worried that such a progress would be caught by the Takeda family, so he had to order Ming Di and Xi Liu Bei who followed Chang Pan Bei to form a formation to guard the left and right wings for Chang Pan Bei. With the cover of the two-wing iron cannon, Chi Bai team did not dare to get too close anymore, but slowly retreated for a certain distance, posing a threat to Yu Qiu's army as soon as possible. Yu Qiuping then commanded the three teams to cover each other, fight and retreat, and always maintained the iron gunners' suppression of the cavalry, and never gave Yama County a chance to take advantage of.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

However, it was too slow to fight and retreat, so we had to constantly adjust the formation and ensure that the team was not out of touch. Yu Qiuping was always looking at the east side with fear that the Takeda army would catch up in advance. In order to rush forward, he was a little arrogant when he was covering several times. He was almost caught by Changjing of Shanxian. He rushed in with an opportunity of too much space between the reserves, which scared Yu Qiuping to sweat.

"Your Highness, this is not a solution." As early as when the Red Preparatory Team appeared, Maeda Kyoji had been urging Yu Qiuping's ears, "Let your brothers take the cavalry to hold the Red Preparatory Team for a while, and let the army retreat quickly! It will be too late to continue like this!"

"Wake up, our cavalry can't even defeat the second-rate cavalry of the Matsunaga family. Do you want to fight against Takeda Akabashi, the world's strongest riding team? What's more, the opponent is half more than us?" Yu Qiuping still refuted Maeda's request without hesitation, just like countless times before.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Then we have practiced cavalry hedging, and we are definitely not weaker than the Matsunaga family now! And we just held on, not letting go. Besides, Takeda Akabe is so powerful, it is also a fight! Your Highness always refuses to let the cavalry take action. When can he train a powerful cavalry?" Maeda Keiji muttered unwillingly. He has always been fearless, but he can't fight with such a powerful opponent in front of him, and he feels very frustrated.

"Wake up quickly. This is Takeda Akabe, who destroyed the main team of the Imakawa family with a charge. Even if the Espike horse riding team encounters it, it will be like a big enemy, let alone us cavalry. If you want to practice, let alone talk about it later." Yu Qiuping shook his head firmly, "We fight for the cavalry with the Takeda family is a dead end, but our infantry must be better than the Takeda family's usual farming and the footsteps they bring during wars! Do you understand?"

Since the Red Cavalry could not be restricted, the retreat of Yuqiu's army could not be fast. So they continued to struggle until the beginning of Si, and finally retreated to the third day - the Yuqiu army planned to enter the mountain. Yuqiuping hurriedly climbed a hard-won small highland and looked behind the Red Cavalry, but there was no one. The main force of the Takeda family has not arrived until now? The only ones who were marching with Yuqiuping's army from beginning to end.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"What the hell, what is Doctor Dashin rubbing?" Yu Qiuping felt a sense of uneasiness for no reason. "Doctor Dashin didn't realize how bad it was to let me into the mountain? If it weren't for pursuing, why was it for such a proper intelligence barrier?"

"Is it because I am looking for pursuing me, scaring me away, and then taking the opportunity to knock down Hamamatsu Castle?" Yu Qiuping scratched his head in confusion and looked in the direction of Hamamatsu Castle. From this morning, there were still more than a dozen wisps of wolf smoke lit there, and it can be seen that it has not fallen. If it falls, Takeda Shingen could have extinguished all these wolf smokes.

"It's strange." Yu Qiupi muttered secretly, and even had an urge to not go north to the mountain, but simply retreat westward to Yoshida Castle. But he couldn't help but worry. With the current marching, he would not be able to walk to Yoshida Castle today. If the main force of the Takeda Army marched urgently and caught them up on the plains of Yoshida Castle tomorrow in the third day, everything would be over.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Let's go into the mountain as planned." Yu Qiuping made the final decision and took the safest measures. "Go and go to the Leyuan!"
