Yiyin was shocked when he heard the faint sounds of fighting coming from the village.
It's not a scam, it's reinforcements!
"Yamazaka Princess, gather everyone with the same mind. If we don't light the torch, we will go down the mountain in the dark and enter the village!"
Reinforcements have arrived! "
The Yamashita Settsu people moved closer to the village at night because of Miyoshi Changitsu's order. In the dark, confusion will inevitably arise.
Because of this, Yiyin and his party were able to sneak down the mountain and sneak into the village. A group of Sibo cavalry met Yiyin and were immediately overjoyed.
Soon, Maeda's interests were attracted.
When Yi Gin saw Jinhaori covered in blood, his face was covered with traces of smoke and fire.
He quickly dismounted and knelt down, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.
"My Lord! My Lord! Are you okay?"
Yiyin shook his head and helped him up.
"Why are you crying? I'm fine. How many people did you bring?"
"Back to my lord, there are more than one hundred and thirty cavalry.
I received an urgent report from Akechi-sama, and I took the Ikoma Mountain Trail.
Gather the entire army's war horses and horses, and lead Warrior Ji to come first. Afterwards, the remaining people are still marching in the mountains. "
Yiyin shook his head.
"Where is Iimori Yamashiro? You don't care?"
"My lord is in trouble, who cares about Iimori Mountain City? The city is right there, the worst is to capture it again!"
Besides, I left the transport peasants and soldiers to guard us, so we should be fine for the time being. "
When Yi Gin saw what Maeda said, his heart warmed.
"Quickly gather the troops and retreat from the way you came. Take advantage of the chaos and move quickly. I'm afraid the horse will not be able to hold on and will fall to death."
Maeda Yoshihiro shouted loudly and ordered the left and right to dismount and give their mounts to the exhausted Tongxin people.
Many of Iga are ninjas, and their communication in the dark is quick and effective.
Not long after, the riders had left the village, taking advantage of the darkness and chaos to head towards the Ikoma Mountains.
Along the way, horses kept falling, and many people could only keep up on foot.
Fortunately, the Settsu people were even more miserable and were still struggling at the village, allowing Yoshihiro and his party to successfully enter the mountain forest.
After entering the mountain, Yiyin finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't stop yet.
He said to Maeda Benefit.
"Zhiji Ji, gather your troops and retreat to Iimori Mountain Castle.
Encountering Yu Ye's forces along the way, all troops retreated, and Iimori Mountain City could not afford to lose. "
"Hi!"
"In addition, give me fifteen war horses, and I will return to the shogunate army quickly."
"Hi!"
Since Akechi Mitsuhide arranged for Maeda's interests to come to the rescue, then the shogunate army must also have arrangements.
Sibo Zhong has suffered a lot in recent battles. I wonder if they will fight again this time and what the casualties will be.
Yoshihiro was so anxious that he just wanted to fly back to the shogunate army.
———
The night passed and the sky was dark.
Miyoshi Changyi looked at the ruins in front of him outside Jiaoxing Temple Village with a bad expression. This time, she had lost all face.
Shiba's reinforcements broke into her shogunate at night, and she misdirected the troops and caused confusion among the Settsu people all night long.
It was not until daybreak that they discovered that both the Sibo Yiyin on the mountain and the Spo reinforcements who had made a sneak attack had withdrawn.
This ambush was a complete failure.
Matsushita Nagasaki was by her side, not daring to irritate this good old man any more, and remained silent.
Sanhao Changyi sighed and said to her.
"I regret not listening to Matsunaga-hime's words. It was my stubbornness that led to this result.
After I go back, I will plead guilty to the family governor. The entire responsibility for this battle lies with me.
Shiba Yiyin is unparalleled and should indeed be eradicated with all our efforts. It was my carelessness that caused Matsunaga-hime's plan to fail.
I'm so sorry! "
Miyoshi Nagaitsu bowed deeply and apologized to Matsunagahide. Matsunagahide was also flattered and bowed in return.
"Don't dare take it!"
"Matsunaga-hime, you are wise and calm, and have a bright future. We will get closer in the future."
"Hi!"
There is nothing that Sanhao Changyi can do.
She made many mistakes in this battle, and there is no way to wash them away. It would be better to take full responsibility directly, and still leave a reputation for being brave.
She has seen Matsunaga's performance before and after. She is a powerful rising star in the family and is worth wooing.
It’s not that Mihao Changyi didn’t have a foothold in Mihao’s family, she could still afford this failure.
The Sanhao family has a powerful force, and the three of them work together as a team.
As the elder of the family, she is vaguely the leader, and this failure cannot defeat her.
The trouble is Shinohara Chofusa and Awa Zhong who are blocking the attack from the north.
Judging from Shiba Yiyin's appearance, his subordinates are not good at making mistakes. The Awa Zhong's losses will not be small this time, and they will definitely be angry with the Setjin Zhong's failure.
Let’s watch and fight later.
Mihao Changyi ordered.
“Retreat, cross the river and return to camp to repair!
Send an envoy to inform Lord Shinohara to retreat quickly. "
———
When Lord Shinohara received the report from the envoy from the south, his face was ashen and he couldn't help cursing.
"What the hell is this old guy Sanhao Changyi doing!
Not even being able to deal with Thirty Cavalry is simply embarrassing! "
She had to be angry.
Yesterday, the shogunate army went into battle in full force. Although it was already half the afternoon, the fight only lasted a short time.
However, the Iga army's madness led the shogunate army and Asai army to attack, and the blockade was extremely brutal.
Abo Zhong lost 10% in the battle in less than half an afternoon.
If it hadn't been for the withdrawal of troops at night, we don't know how much we would have lost. Now they have returned without success and their morale is low.
The Wu family is rewarded by the public, and without merit, there is no reward. Abo Zhong suffered a big loss this time, and they didn't want to hate this incompetent person like Mihao Changyi.
However, no matter how angry he was, he could not change the reality, so Shinohara Nagabo could only give an order.
"The entire army retreats!"
———
There was a rift between the Settsu clan and the Awa clan, which naturally gave Miyoshi Changqing a headache.
In the shogunate army, the atmosphere at Shiba camp was also wrong.
This morning, Ashikaga Yoshiki convened a military meeting again, but Shiba Zhuhime was not qualified to participate.
Most of the people in Sibo's army were domestic servants, although they could be distinguished by their military merit after the war.
But now, their status cannot participate in the high-level deliberation of the shogunate.
And those who are qualified to be looked upon highly by the shogunate.
There is only one branch of the Kyogoku family, one of the four shogunate families, and the Nishi family of the former Western Kingdom daimyo. Protecting the separate family of the Toki family with Mino, the Akechi family.
Nizi Katsuhisa is now in charge of logistics affairs in Yamato Koriyama Castle, and Akechi Mitsuhide was imprisoned for disobeying the general.
Unexpectedly, there was no one in the Shiba army who could speak for his own interests in front of Ashikaga Yoshiki.
Apart from being helpless, he was also angry.
Toudo Takatora and Otani Yoshitsugi looked at each other and said.
"We can't delay any longer, we must continue to attack today!"
After fighting for half the afternoon yesterday, not only Abozhong lost 10%.
The besieging Iga people, the shogunate army, and the Asai army each lost half of their lives. This loss frightened Ninagawa and Asai Nagamasa.
They just want to sell well to Spo Yiyin, but if they continue to fight at this trend, their own strength will be greatly depleted.
The most important thing is that it does no good.
This is a rescue battle. Does the shogunate count it as a military merit? Who should give the reward? All are problems.
Some people do things that seek death, but who is willing to do things that are not beneficial?
The shogunate's military discussions have been going on for some time, but no news has come yet.
The third husband of Momochi also made eye contact with the twin girls of Fujibayashi before he spoke.
"No, the enemy army in the south is not weak. It is difficult to win with the Iga army alone. The shogunate will also need to send troops to help."
As soon as these words came out, the air in the tent suddenly became stagnant. The two sides looked at each other, and the atmosphere became tense.
Yi Yin's whereabouts are unknown, and Si Bo's family is also unstable.
