"Mr. Suwon asked His Highness to lead his army into the basin immediately. The basin is filled with water networks, with villages and forests as support. The terrain is complex, which can effectively limit the cavalry of Takeda Army! If the Takeda Army successfully passes the basin and arrives at the three-day plain, then we will really not be able to compete with the Takeda cavalry! Only by starting a war in the basin can we have a chance of winning!" The messenger reminded again in a low voice.

"I understand. Please hold on to Zi Jing, and reinforcements will arrive soon." Yu Qiuping nodded hurriedly. Now he only had the thin willows that had just come out of the valley. The other two companies of Ming Dibei and Chang Panbei were sent by him to the west and east respectively, while the cavalry company was still on the mountain road.

"Let Thompson and An Zhike turn around and return for three days, then go south into the basin." Yu Qiuping quickly gave an order, "Xi Liubei comes with me, and we will go south to support immediately."

"Yu Nan, I will leave the three-day stay to you." Yu Qiuping whispered to Fukuzawa Yu Nan, "When the Ming Di and Chang Pan Bei, the cavalry company arrived, immediately send them to the Sanri Town Basin. Then, after the auxiliary troops came out of the mountain, they would let them camp in Sanri and wait for the order on the spot."&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Yes." Fukuzawa Yunan immediately accepted the order and led the General Staff to urgently start formulating a new plan.

"Ryuko, you bring a few people and immediately inform Okazaki Castle, Banbingwei, and then the lord in Kinki, saying that Torii was defeated, His Highness Tokugawa had been defeated in the entire army, and Yuqiu's army was in danger." Yuqiuhei once again told Longko beside him, "Go quickly."

"Why?" Unexpectedly, Long Zi, who had always been unsuspecting Yu Qiuping's instructions, directly questioned this time, "Why did Your Highness drive me away?"

Yu Qiuping's thoughts were seen through and his expression became tight. He knew how good the battle was, and he didn't know whether he could survive. He always felt very guilty about Long Zi and didn't want her to stay here to accompany him to die, so he thought about sending her to pass the order so that she could escape the disaster and live well.

Yu Qiuping's hesitation made Long Zi see the clues, and tears suddenly surged out of her eyes, "Do you think you are going to die? So don't you want Long Zi to accompany you?" When I thought of what Yu Qiuping's order meant, Long Zi's crying voice suddenly leaked out, "Long Zi won't leave, if you want to die, you will die with Your Highness! Your Highness don't leave me!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Silly girl, why are you so stupid?" Yu Qiuping felt his heart soft, and then there was another heart-wrenching pain - such a good girl, but she failed her. Yu Qiuping couldn't help but stretch out his hand and did the action that he hadn't done for a long time - rubbed Longzi's head.

Long Zi was stunned, tears burst out from his eyes, lowered his head without saying a word, and buried his face deeply in the shadow.

"Where is Shang'er?" Yu Qiuping suppressed the sadness in his heart and asked the commander again, "Have Zijing sent Shang'er back?"

"Please atone for your sins," the messenger said with a tight expression and whispered in deep remorse: "Master Suwon and Master Morita are determined to let the young master retreat, but the young master refuses to leave."

At 4 noon, the hills south of the Sanricho Basin.

Under the command of the Water Atomic Sutra, all the feet were carefully hidden on the north side of the hillside, and no one showed up. Water Atomic Sutra took off his helmet, poked his head out from a rock, and observed the movements of Takeda Army, so as not to expose his position with the eye-catching paper red leaves on his head. As Takeda Army got closer, his heart gradually rose to his throat, and he looked at Yu Qiushang with great anxiety - Morita Exiang was still persuading him, but he still stubbornly refused to leave.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Young Master, Takeda's army will arrive soon, and it's already in the evening." Shui Yuanzijing quietly leaned over to Yu Qiushang again and said to him in a deep voice, "I'm thinking you, please, please withdraw quickly! What kind of thing does the young master have to do with you? How can you be worthy of Your Highness?"

"Sir Suwon, don't say it anymore. I've already said it very clearly." Yu Qiushang shook his head, and said to all the footmen of the Second Company of Chang Panbei: "I am not the young master of the Yu Qiu family at this moment. My military rank is just an ordinary private footmen of the Second Company of Chang Panbei, and it is not worthy of any preferential treatment."

"But..." The Shui Yuanzi Jing wanted to persuade him again, but Yu Qiushang waved his hand and stopped in a deep voice, "If Lord Suwon really thinks I am the young master, then obey my orders."

"Mr. Suwon just said that at this moment, we are carrying heavy burdens on our shoulders. If we can't stop the Takeda army, the Yuqiu army will be forced to fight the Takeda army on the three-day plain, and our entire army will be almost dead. Our battle here is not only for us, but also for our comrades, but also for the lives of the 12ooo people in the Yuqiu family, fighting for the life and death of the Yuqiu family! If we can stop the Takeda army, the entire army will have a chance to survive. If we can't stop, the entire army will die." Yuqiu Shang looked solemn and said the heavy facts in a low voice.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"At this critical moment of life and death, do you still want to send a precious foot to the back? You can't even give up the messenger, so how can you waste a combat power?" Yu Qiushang paused after a series of rebellious questions, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Why did he suddenly say so many words? However, as these words were said, he felt that his trembling body gradually calm, his tone of panic gradually stabilized, his will in his heart gradually firmed, and his expression became determined.

He faced the 4oo soldiers of the Second Company and said loudly: "I don't have the combat experience, I don't have the command level of Master Suwon, nor the bravery of Master Morita. What I, Yu Qiu Shang, have is just a life and a knife." Yu Qiu Shang said as he slowly drew his sword out of the sheath, cut off the belt that tied the scabbard to his body, and threw it out. "You are all here to sacrifice your life for Yu Qiu's family. As the young master of Yu Qiu's family, how can I escape?"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Today I'll bet on my life and fight with you! People are in the position, people are in the position and people are in the position!"

Mr. Tian Shen, Lord Suwon, this time, I no longer spend my life randomly. I chose this path for the Yuqiu family, for the responsibility I deserve as the young leader of the Yuqiu family, and for the glory of being a samurai - I have no regrets even if I die.

At the same time, on the other side of the hill, the Takeda family's army was advancing quickly. By chance, the young master of the Takeda family, the 1ooo soldiers and 2ooo auxiliary soldiers led by Takeda Katsurai. They came day and night, but the entire army had not yet formed an armored array. According to the original plan, they would complete the armored arrayed arrayed after passing through the Mihikamachi Basin in front, and then attack the Yuqiu army who was fleeing to Yoshida Castle in a hurry on the Sanhikama Plain.

"Young master, do you want to send someone to the basin in front to investigate?" The guard who followed Takeda Katsurai whispered.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

"Have you been to someone before? There is no one there." Takeda Katsurai shook her head naturally.

"But..." The guard seemed to be still sticking to his point of view, which made Takeda Katsurai a little unhappy and retorted in a deep voice: "Now the ninjas of the Yuqiu family may have been investigating everywhere. Isn't it a surprise to us to send people to explore the way now? In order to avoid the emergence of our ninjas, the plan was exposed, and my father even withdrew the ninjas that were ambushing around for three days. How could he send people to investigate now?"

"If there are people in the basin and those of us who are not armed, wouldn't we be beaten for nothing?" The guard was still relentless, but he did not notice that Takeda Katsurai's face was getting worse and worse.

No wonder, this guard is the son of Takeda Shingen's surname. He has only recently been promoted to serve Takeda Katsurai and does not know much about the character of this new master. You should know that although Takeda Katsurai is the heir of Takeda's family, he was adopted as the fourth son to the Suwa family. Later, because Takeda Shingen's heir, the eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu, was executed due to political struggles, Takeda Shingen's second son is a blind man, and the third son died early, it was Takeda Katsurai's turn to come back to inherit. Because the adopted child could not justify the position of the family governor, Takeda Shingen had to support Takeda Katsurai's legitimate son Takeda Nobuka as the next family governor, and let Takeda Katsurai be a transitional person before Takeda Shingen's submission.&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Such an untenable identity made Takeda Katsura a very sensitive person. He cared about his authority very much and was worried that the people around him would not accept him because of his identity. This situation does exist. Even if he made many military achievements in Suruga and became a brave general in the army, some important officials in his family still did not deal with him. Therefore, whenever someone questioned Takeda Katsura's decision, Takeda Katsura would be very angry, especially on the battlefield.

"I have been fighting for so long. Do you need your advice?" Takeda Katsurai angrily shook the whip and clattered in the guard's ear, which scared him. "There is no one in this basin! Even if there is, unless they are lying behind that hillside!" Takeda Katsurai cursed and pointed the horse whip at the hillside not far in front of him - the Mihimacho Basin that the vanguard troops were about to cross. "Otherwise, we just need to retreat and wear armor! What's there to be afraid of!"&1t;i>&1t;/i>

Unfortunately, as soon as Takeda Katsurai finished speaking, about 150 iron gunners suddenly stood up on the hillside, which was originally empty. The front row squatted down and the back row poked the iron cannons out of the front row. Before the Takeda army was uphill, the 150 iron gunners pressed the triggers together under the command of the Mizuao Sutra. The roar of the volley and the smoke rising up immediately made the front row stutter. Immediately, the iron cannons were fired at such a close distance, and the Takeda army who was walking in the front fell down instantly.
