The five hundred and thirteenth chapter woodpecker (3)

Shortly after Tobashi Bei split his troops and left, Charlie's Murdera walked out of the valley and arrived for three days. Yu Qiuhei immediately asked Charlie to march westward and leave as the vanguard of Yoshida Castle to ensure the safety of Yoshida Castle. According to Yu Qiuhei's plan, it was to first let Tbashi Bei break the back and cover the back to prevent Ai Bei from raiding. But Maurdera went into the city first, and then asked the last Xi Liubei who came out of the mountain to cover the auxiliary troops and retreat to Yoshida Castle together.

Until now, the dozen or so wisps of wolf smoke from Hamamatsu Castle have not yet been extinguished, and they are still saying countless signals. This means that Hamamatsu Castle is still fighting, and the Hojo family should not have control over the entire city. There is no need to worry that the Hojo family will join the quest for Yuqiuhei, so Yuqiuhei's deployment will be fine. As long as the entire army arrives safely at Yoshida Castle, Takeda Shingen will have to return without success - because most of his food and supplies are probably burned by Tokugawa Ieyasu who left the city, and he cannot stay abroad for too long.

At the second of the afternoon, I arrived at Yoshimi's official road on the third day. Yu Qiushang was very nervously pressing his hand on the hilt of the knife, following the team neatly, while paying attention to the surrounding wind and movements. This was the first time he stepped onto the battlefield, and he was faced with such a harsh test - his opponents were Takeda Shingen, the world's number one military strategist, and the world's strongest Kashu Army. Yu Qiushang's army was not only at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but also strategically defeated and was continuously plotted. Therefore, the string in Yu Qiushang's heart was always tense. Morita Exiang, who was following him, saw Yu Qiushang's nervousness and patted him gently on his shoulder. Yu Qiushang was stunned for a moment, and saw Morita Exiang making a cheering gesture at him, and a smile appeared slightly from the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master, don't be nervous, we are safer along the way." Shui Yuanzi noticed the movements of Morita Exiang behind him, turned around and saw Yu Qiushang with a nervous look on his face. "If your highness makes a good judgment, Akabe should have retreated to the direction of Iigu in the east. We will not be in danger when we go south here."

"Thank you, Lord Suwon, but you don't have to worry about me. Please give me the priority to command." Yu Qiushang was more mature than a child of his age, and he whispered in a low voice.

"I naturally understand this, but the safety of the young master is also the top priority." Shui Yuanzijing nodded slightly and whispered, "Your Highness handed over the young master to me, because he trusted me, and I must be worthy of your highness's trust."

From Sanri to Yoshimi, you will pass through a small Basin between Sanri Plain and Yoshimi Plain. The north, west, and south of this basin are surrounded by mountains, and the east of Hamamai Lake. In fact, the terrain of this basin is not lower than Sanri and Yoshimi, but it is because a circle of small hills suddenly rise around it. This basin is not big, and its length and width are only about two miles away, and it looks like a three-mile land.

The north of the basin is Mount Hansui, which is about 200 meters away from Hamamachi Lake. The 200 meters plain opening is the northern entrance of this basin and is also the place where you pass by the Sanjimachi Road. The water atom passes through the Mikami-cho Basin from the entrance of this plain. First pass by the Yoriguchi River, then pass by the Shinami-chan Shrine and a fishing village called Mikami-cho Shimoona, which is close to Hamamachi Lake. Then, they crossed the Nishikami-chan River. The Nishikami-chan River is an important river that crosses the entire Mikami-cho Basin. It originates from Fujimi Mountain in the west of the basin. It first merges with the Aishan River in the south and then the Kishishan River in the north. After the three rivers merge, it flows eastward into Hamamachi Lake, and then merges before entering the lake.

The Shita River flows southwest to northeast. At the trident where the three rivers of the Kitashan River, Xikanda River and Huaishan River meet, is the richest place in the basin. Between the Kitashan River and Xikanda River, there is a historic temple, Yudong Temple. On the south bank where the Huaishan River and Xikanda River meet, is the largest village in the basin, Mihimachi Uena. To the east and south of this village, there is a large area of ​​dense mountain forests, which the army cannot access at all. The woods in the east are close to the West Kanda River, leaving no gaps to enter from the north. If you want to enter the village, you either enter the village from the path next to the highland between the two trees in the southeast, or enter the village from the gap between the Huaishan River and the trees in the south.

However, Mizua Atomic Sutra did not go to Mihimachi Uchio Na, but sent a horse to investigate the situation there. He himself led his company. After crossing the Nishikanda River, he marched along the Shikida River to the southwest. In a short while, he reached the mountains in the south. Unlike Mount Hanzuki in the north, the mountains in the south directly connected Fujimiyama and Hamama Lake together without leaving any gaps. Therefore, the official road directly crossed the narrowest and flat section of the hill in the southern mountains. Mizua Atomic Sutra walked at the front of the team and led his subordinates to climb the mountain along the official road.

When he climbed to the highest point of this hill, the sunlight from the south suddenly became a little dazzling, which made Shui Yuanzhi really stunned. When he looked closely, he was stunned in place. Not only him, Yu Qiushang and Morita Exiang who were following him were also stunned when they climbed to the top of the mountain. They stared at each other in disbelief and looked at each other for a few moments, and their expressions were so shocked. Their mouths opened wide, but they couldn't say a word.

Because on the official road south of this mountain range, on this official road leading from three days to Yoshimi, there were densely packed with troops carrying Takeda Rishi's flag. They were like a huge ancient beast, heading north along the official road and heading straight for three days!

"The entire army stopped." Shui Yuanzi immediately made a stop to the entire army, and then pulled Morita Exiang and Yu Qiushang down from the top of the hill.

"Sir, what should I do?" Yu Qiushang couldn't help panic at this moment, "Why is the entire Takeda family army here? Will it be in the south? Didn't you say before that Takeda's army is all in Serahara in the north? Have we been trapped?"

"I don't know, and there is no time for us to think clearly now." Mizuao swallowed his saliva and forced himself to calm down and think, "Our situation is very bad now! Because His Highness has withdrawn the entire army to the three-day plain and destroyed the mountain roads, we have no time to enter the mountain again! Now the main force of the Takeda army is only more than ten miles away from three days, but except for the Mingdi, the other troops are too far from Yoshida Castle, so they have no time to withdraw Yoshida Castle. Otherwise, the Takeda family will be able to catch up on the road and will be wiped out by the Takeda family and chased them down, and the entire army will be wiped out by the cavalry's tail-chasing!"

"I can only fight for one battle." A layer of cold sweat suddenly emerged from Yu Qiushang's forehead, and his body trembled slightly, "Sir Suwon, what should we do at this moment!"

"Keep here and guard this hill." Shui Yuanjing's face turned fierce, and the scar on his face became instantly ferocious, "We must guard this place!"

"Are you crazy, this lord?" Morita Eso stared at the Mizua Sutra with a madman look at him, "You want to use 4oo war soldiers to block the Takeda family's 8oo war soldiers?"

"We must block it, otherwise we are sorry to Your Highness, and everyone in Yuqiu's family!" Shui Yuanzi said firmly, "We have been defeated strategically and are forced to fight with 4ooo warriors and 8ooo warriors. If we are duel on the three-day plain, the cavalry of Takeda's family can completely defeat us, and we have no chance at all." Shui Yuanzi said while turning around and pointing his hand at the Mihima Town Basin behind him. "But if we choose the battlefield in this basin, the water network is dense, the terrain is narrow, and there is woods and villages as support, the cavalry is not easy to swing, and our infantry still has the power to fight! So we must not let the Takeda army go over, and we cannot let the Takeda family break through this basin safely and go to the three-day plain to fight with us!"

"But your highness's main force is still ten miles away from this basin, and Takeda's army is already in front of you. Even if your Highness comes here now, when he arrives, Takeda's army will have already passed through this basin." Morita Exiang shook his head and whispered: "Sir Suwon, be realistic."

"So we have to block Takeda's army south of the basin on this hill! Don't let them pass through the basin! Block for an hour and persist until Your Highness's reinforcements enter the basin!" Shui Yuanjing said in a deep voice again: "As long as you stop the high point of view, the Takeda family will not see what the basin behind us is like. They will doubt whether the Yuqiu family is ambushed here, and they will not dare to push the entire army. We can drag it for a while until Your Highness's army comes to the basin! In this way, Your Highness can arrange a formation in this basin to start a war with the Takeda family, instead of waiting for the Takeda army to pass through this basin and start a war on the three-day plain! If we can't stand it, the Yuqiu family will be destined to be destroyed on the plain!"

"You're crazy." Morita Eso smiled and shook his head, "We can't do it."

"We must withstand it!" Mizuao Jing also shook his head and shouted in a deep voice: "Mr. Morita, although you are the young master's guard, your military rank is only a captain. And I am the lieutenant colonel company commander of Changpanbei's second company. Please obey the order!"

"Okay, this is up to you. I don't care if Lord Suwon wants to lead his troops to commit suicide. But my mission is to protect the young master. You can commit suicide, and take the young master back to me!"

Three minutes at noon, three days.

"What did you say!" In the past few days, Yu Qiuping has been shocked and at a loss. But this time was definitely the most panicked moment. Because he only felt his brain exploded with a buzzing moment, and the sky was spinning in an instant, making him feel that the scenery in front of him was a little unreal. "The entire Takeda Army is in the south? Is it already ten miles away?"

"Yes, Your Highness, Lord Suwon, please send reinforcements immediately!" The messenger shouted in anger.

"Why is it in the south? Why? Why?" Yu Qiuping's mind was blank, and he was trying to clarify his thoughts. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out. The sound of a woodpecker hitting the trunk was surrounded by his ears. After a moment, he seemed to have a sudden inspiration in his mind, and he instantly understood how the situation of the battle evolved.

"Yu Nan is right... It is impossible for the entire Takeda army to stay up late from the mountain road to reach Shirahara in one night and one morning." Yu Qiuping's voice trembled a little, and the tone changed. The red leaf shawl on his shoulder drooped weakly. "The ones who went to Shirahara, from beginning to end, only the thousands of Okabe Motoshi who Saburo saw. Takeda Shirahara's Fenglin volcano horse seal and those flags were bluffing suspicious soldiers... And the main force of the Takeda family did not stay up late to enter the mountain area last night, but went south at night, circled a large circle from the south of Hamamae Lake, and appeared in the south of our south - Yoshimi. No wonder Takeda Shirahara controlled the intelligence so carefully, because he was afraid that the movements of his army would be revealed by us."

The cunning woodpecker tapped the trunk from the front and drove the bug to the other side. When the bug realized that the problem was wrong, it knocked it on the other side of the trunk, making the bug think that he had seen through the woodpecker's plan. When the bug swayed back to its original starting point, the woodpecker flapped its wings and suddenly blew over.

"Defeated..." Yu Qiuping felt that the confidence and self-esteem in his heart collapsed, and suddenly laughed twice, "Why am I completely teased and applauded, why do I have the illusion that I can plot against Doctor Dashen?"

At this moment, the Yuqiu army was facing the worst situation - they had nowhere to escape. The close distance between Takeda army and them had already made them unable to withdraw back to Yoshida Castle, and the retreat path to the mountain was destroyed by Yuqiuping himself. In other words, the Yuqiu army, which had nowhere to escape, had to go directly to the Takeda family on the plain. The Yuqiu army had only half of the strength of the Takeda family, and the cavalry was only one-tenth of the Takeda army. Yuqiu's command level was also several levels lower than that of Takeda Shingen. The battle on the plain was a dead end. Once the place where there was no village in front and no shop behind was defeated, few people could escape from the pursuit of Takeda family cavalry. The Yuqiu army 12 ooo people will be destroyed here.

All the plans were seen through by Takeda Shingen, and they were rushed into desperate situations like a bug. All the struggles seemed to be just like the monkey play in the eyes of the woodpecker, and the monkey play on the stage.
