The battle ahead is continuing, but Kuchiki Tsuna in the rear is worried.
Broken troops from the front continued to flee to the vicinity of the formation, and the reconnaissance squad sent out by Kuchiki Aizuna could not bring back any useful information at all.
Looking at the dark night, Kuchiki Inetsuna finally couldn't sit still.
"Send the order, the whole army marches out to meet the enemy!"
Although Kuchiki Inetsuna could not know the exact number of Kyogoku family troops who attacked his side, he thought that the overall number would not be too many.
After all, they have already figured out the situation in Takashima County. The number of combatable soldiers in Takashima County will not exceed 1,000, and this is after giving the Kyogoku family time to mobilize their troops.
But now that the allied forces of the country have launched a surprise attack on the Kyogoku family, the Kyogoku family has no time to prepare, so the number of enemy troops attacking their own side is probably only six to seven hundred, or even less.
The total number of troops sent by the Kuchiki family this time is more than 1,500. Even though the front and secondary formations have been defeated, Kuchiki Aizuna's own team alone has 8900 people. No matter how you look at it, they are in an advantageous position. .
In other words, Kuchiki Jinzuna is not timid at all.
Kuchiki Aizuna's main team was less than three miles away from Miyagawa Yorichu's team. Even if they marched in disgrace at night, they had already arrived in half an hour.
But when Kuchiki Inetsuna arrived on the battlefield, there was not much left in Miyagawa Yorichu's team.
Seeing many of his own warriors fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, Kuchiki Inetsuna clenched his teeth and shouted angrily: "The enemy is right in front of you, everyone, charge!"
"oh!"
Kuchiki Aizuna's team is composed of farmers and soldiers recruited from the direct leadership, and there are dozens of samurai, and their combat effectiveness is quite impressive.
When hundreds of fresh troops joined the battlefield, the Kuchiki family, which was originally at a disadvantage, gradually stabilized their position.
Miyagawa Yorichu's right arm was dripping with blood, and his body was covered with wounds of all sizes.
After fighting with Nobumasa Nagasaka for dozens of rounds, Yorichu Miyagawa already knew that he was no match for Nobumasa Nagasaka, and it was only with the last trace of faith in his heart that he persisted until now.
But now after hearing the news that the reinforcements had arrived, Miyagawa Yorichu breathed out a sigh of relief, then smiled at Nobumasa Nagasaka in front of him, and then fell to the ground with an expression of relief.
Nagasaka Nobumasa slowly put away the gun, then took out the ribs from his waist and stepped forward to ride on Miyagawa Yorichu. He lifted Miyagawa Yorichu's hair with one hand and slashed along the neck.
"The enemy general has been captured by me, Nagasaka Hikoro!"
oh!
Seeing that the enemy's general was being taken over by their own samurai, the peasants and soldiers of the Numata family were immediately boosted in morale.
On the other hand, the Kuchiki family was in an obvious decline.
Especially when the nearby peasant soldiers saw clearly that the head held by Nagasaka Nobumasa was Miyagawa Yoritada, they looked even more frightened.
Miyagawa Yoritada was recognized as the number one person in the Kuchiki family's military skills. Now that even Miyagawa Yoritada died in the hands of the other party, one can imagine the blow to the morale of the Kuchiki family.
"Father!"
Miyagawa Raihei, who was in the rear, had tears in his eyes and was about to rush over to fight for Nagasaka Nobumasa, but he was held tightly by several close men beside him.
Miyagawa Yorichu was the only son. If Miyagawa Norihei had another accident, then the Miyagawa family would be cut off, and those close to the Miyagawa family and their descendants would have no future.
So no matter what, we must save Miyagawa Raihei's life.
Kuchiki Aizuna also noticed the changes on the battlefield, and soon learned from the nearby peasant soldiers that the one seeking death in the formation was Miyagawa Yorichu.
"Asshole, Miyagawa Satsuma and I are brothers. I never thought of dying here today!"
"Kyogoku family, I will make you pay with blood!"
Kuchiki Inetsuna and Miyagawa Yoritada had a very good personal relationship, but their friend died today, and Kuchiki Inetsuna was almost furious.
In his rage, Kuchiki Yuzuna could no longer care about anything else and immediately commanded his troops to enter the battlefield.
Although the Numata family's peasant soldiers have high morale, there are only about 300 people after all. Facing the impact of seven to eight hundred Kuchiki family peasant soldiers, it is still difficult.
Fortunately, with Kyogoku Takamasa and other samurai at the forefront, the battle was still in a stalemate.
Kuchiki Inetsuna, who was located at the rear of the battlefield, frowned as he looked at the indistinguishable battle situation on the battlefield.
After arriving at the battlefield, Kuchiki Inetsuna was even more convinced that the Kyogoku family's military strength was not large.
But the strange thing is, why does our family, which clearly has the numerical advantage, have no advantage at all?
After careful observation, Kuchiki Aizuna quickly discovered the problem.
Immediately, Kuchiki Aizuna pointed to several heroic figures fighting on the battlefield and asked: "Those warriors fought extremely bravely. They are definitely not unknown people. Do you know the identity of the other party?"
"Back to my lord, according to what Nongbing said, the opponent's formation includes Kyogoku Sakyo Susumu, the young master of the Kyogoku family. In addition, there are several samurai such as Hatayama Uchizosuke and Hayashi Sahei. They are all powerful generals with a strong reputation in Omi!"
"What?" Kuchiki Aizuna was shocked when he heard this, "Why is Kyogoku Sakyo Susumu here?"
"Is it possible that the Kyogoku family has been prepared?"
When he thought of this, Kuchiki Yizuna felt a little guilty.
The plan of Kuchiki Inetsuna and others was to kill the Kyogoku family by surprise, but they did not expect that after arriving at Kaijin Castle, they were defeated by the Kyogoku family.
Moreover, Kyogoku Takamasa actually appeared in the local camp, which made Kuchiki Inizuna worried that this was everything that the Kyogoku family had arranged long ago.
If this is the case, there might be another accident tonight.
"Does our detective have any latest information?"
"Have the Kyogoku family's army been found near Kaijin Castle?"
Kuchiki Inetsuna now had to consider whether it was necessary to continue this battle.
"There is no news from the reconnaissance team, and no enemy troops have been found near Haijin City!"
"Weird!" Kuchiki Inizuna frowned. He always felt that something was wrong.
Kyogoku Takamasa is the last person who should appear here, and since Kyogoku Takamasa is here, he cannot come alone. Kyogoku Takamasa must have come with troops.
But why were there only three or four hundred ashigaru members of the Kyogoku family on the battlefield?
Rui Mu Ji Gang can't figure it out for a hundred times.
If Kyogoku Takamasa on the battlefield knew what Kuchiki Inetsuna was thinking, he might not be able to help laughing.
Boy, you really think too much.
In fact, Kyogoku Takamasa had already begun to think about quitting at this time.
Originally, the purpose of this night attack was not to completely annihilate the Kuchiki family. It was simply unrealistic when the enemy was outnumbered.
Being able to defeat the enemy's front and secondary formations and capture the Kuchiki family's generals has already had the effect of damaging the enemy's morale.
It can be expected that the Kuchiki family will no longer be able to attack Kaijin Castle for a period of time.
At this moment, the Kyogoku family's military strength was at a disadvantage on the battlefield. The reason why they could still hold on was entirely because of the hard work of Kyogoku Takamasa and others.
However, manpower is sometimes exhausted, and Kyogoku Takamasa cannot guarantee that he and others can maintain their current status if the fight continues.
Therefore, the best way is to take advantage and leave.
It’s so exciting to pretend to be B and run away!
Numata Mitsukane also came to Kyogoku Takamasa's side at this time, and said worriedly: "Sakyo has entered the palace. There are more and more enemy troops on the battlefield. If this continues, the situation may not be good."
Kyogoku Gaomasa nodded, "What the Ezhong garrison said is absolutely true. Immediately send an order to retreat!"
"ha!"
Kyogoku Takamasa's order was issued, and several ashigaru holding conchs in the formation quickly put the conchs in their mouths and blew them rhythmically three times.
Woo woo woo
Three conch sounds sounded, and the order to retreat had been given.
The Numata family's peasant soldiers who were fighting against the Kuchiki family's ashigaru quickly began to retreat under the command of the samurai.
Kuchiki Inetsuna, who was closely watching every move on the battlefield, also noticed the movements of the Kyogoku family, and looked at the retreating Kyogoku family troops with a hesitant look on his face.
A Kuchiki family warrior hurriedly said in Kuchiki Inetsuna's ear: "Lord, the enemy army has begun to collapse. Please give the order to pursue immediately!"
"Can't chase!"
Kuchiki Aizuna said resolutely: "The opponent is Kyogoku Sakyo Susumu. This must be a trick to lure us to pursue. There may be an ambush in the dense forest ahead."
"Send an order to the whole army to stand still. Anyone who dares to pursue without permission will be killed immediately!"
Just like that, facing the Kyogoku family's retreat, the Kuchiki family's troops on the battlefield actually stood there and watched the Numata family's peasant soldiers gradually disappear.
A quarter of an hour later, looking at the calm battlefield, Kuchiki Inetsuna finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Being able to remain undefeated under the famous Yasha Saburo shows that he is really an excellent commander.
