Prime Minister Bizen

Chapter 115
"Qinhe, you take your Xiangchuan people as the army to buy some time for the family, Yuanzhai, you take the banner people as the banner head, and you will try your best to rescue your relatives."

Qin Yuan quickly made arrangements for his subordinates. At this moment, Qin Yuan, who was highly nervous, did not see his son Qinghe's expression at all.

Historically, the relationship between Kagawa Amiwa and his father Yuanqin was not good. Kagawa Amiwa was born to Yuanqin drunk and forced to report to his mother. Yuanqin always regarded him as a mistake and adopted him to him when he was 13 years old. Kagawa family as adopted son.

In history, when the Xiu family organized the Four Kingdoms Raiders, Mingming Yuanqin couldn't resist himself, but he scolded Kagawa Jinhe who left Sanuki and Tianwucheng and fled back to Okatoyo.

Later, the eldest son Xinqin died, and on the issue of the succession of the family governor, Qinhe not only had no voice to take office, but was also poisoned and killed by his father Yuanqin under the slander of Jiuwu Qinzhi.

Kagawa-chan had previously accepted the mission arranged by Yuan-chan to help the vanguard contain the enemy's left wing. This mission still needs to be maintained even after Changzong and our troops broke through the Ukita front. Covering the retreat of the entire army is already a narrow escape task.

Now, Kagawa Kiwa heard that his father had entrusted him with the task of narrowly escaped death. Although he was very sad, Yuanqin's prestige accumulated over the years still made him accept this decision.

At this point, Yuanqin's transformation of Changzong's family was completed, and each reserve team went to implement it separately.

Changzong's family deserves to be a reformed army. Coupled with the prestige of Yuan Qin, Changzong's troops quickly turned their guns and attacked Heqibei and Qibenbei, which surrounded Xinqin.

He Qibei obviously didn't expect that Changzong's army, which had already retreated, would turn around and attack again, and the formation of He Qibei was directly pierced. Fujido Takatora's nephew Fujido Gaoxing discovered the action on the opposite side, but he was caught by Changzong before he could notify his uncle. Zongwo was separated from his own team.

Break through the Jinzi Yuanzhai, which is in a well-prepared formation, find the trusted relatives of Changzong's family, and communicate the current situation with the heir of Changzong's family, "Young master, our army's decline is irreversible, and the enemy has reinforcements." Now, my lord has ordered the army to retreat, please follow me to retreat."

Xinqin had been persevering hard before and didn't know the overall situation. Now he was shocked when he heard Jinzi Yuanzhai's words, and couldn't believe that his family had already lost the game. Said, "Where can father retreat?"

"Retreat from Okada and Hanama. Please follow me to attack the enemy's weak positions and make way for the whole army."

By asking, "Who is the army?"

"It's His Royal Highness," Jin Zi Yuan Zhai replied.

The relationship between Yuanqin and his second son, Xiangchuan, is not good, but as his eldest son, Changzong, a believer in his family, is extremely friendly to his younger brother and has a good reputation at home. Now I heard that his younger brother was placed as the third runner-up by his father , wanted to say something, but in the end did not say it.

Jin Ziyuanzhai continued to ask, "Your Highness is commanding in the formation. Can you tell which side of the Yuxi family is weaker and easier to break through?"

Changzong's relatives thought for a moment and replied, "The front, rear, left, and right are all elites. How does it feel for Mr. Jinzi to attack from the right? Can the left follow suit?"

Although Kaneko Yuanzhai led his team to break through He Qi's defense, he attacked from behind without them noticing, catching them off guard, and still paying the price of a hundred people to be able to reunite with his relatives .

So he replied without hesitation, "The enemy's will to fight is tenacious. If it weren't for the sudden attack from behind, our team would like to prove that breaking through is not an overnight success. It's really strange. How can there be so many elites in the Yuxi Family, and each one is like a standing stock." .”

"I will investigate this matter afterwards, but now I have to quickly choose a way out. Since the right attack is so difficult, it is difficult to attack the left wing. There are many cavalry teams from Yuxi in the rear. There are not many people. Now Dismounting and fighting on foot, the advantage is gone, you can break through from the rear."

The two finalized the plan, with Kaneko Yuanzhai's Yuanqin team as the vanguard, and the loyal Nagaoka people as the rear, attacking Xiujia's banner team.

The Xiu family's banner team had not many troops, and they didn't have the strength to stop the enemy's army of thousands, so they had to temporarily preserve their forces and let Changzong's family leave.

After Xinqin and Yuanqin reunited, they exited through the opening left by Banner, and Kaneko Yuanzhai continued to restrain Togawa Hidean's Okubei, and Kagawa Kiwa took over the rear mission.

Because his main force was all on the left flank, the Xiu family could only stand on Ruyi Mountain, watching thousands of Changzong's troops retreat from their right flank, and there was no way to stop them.

Xiujia thought the battle was over, turned around and returned to the main formation, ordered Akashi Quandeng and others to count the battle achievements and battle losses, and was about to take a break to think about the next strategy, but saw a samurai rushing in from outside the shogunate Said, "Your Highness, please dodge quickly, Changzong's family is attacking"

As soon as this sentence came out, all the samurai in the curtain were startled, and the captain of the attendants, Date Masahiro, quickly asked, "What's going on, where did the enemy come from?"

"It's coming from the south of the mountain. The vanguard has 500 follow-up troops and no fewer than [-] people. They have already attacked up the mountain!"

At this time, everyone could already hear the shouts of killing gradually clear, but the direction of the shouts of killing was a bit strange, it was actually the direction of the front of the formation. Could it be that Chang Zong and our relatives broke through the siege and came over?It shouldn't be!
It turns out that most of the army from Yuxijia has crossed Bachuan, and the distance between the combat troops and the main formation has been torn by more than 500 meters.

Xinqin, who retreated from the right wing of Ukita Army, found this loophole in Ukita Army, and saw the thin military flag on Ruyi Mountain. He had long been fed up with the extremely powerful weapon with a long range and decided to put all his eggs in one basket. Launch a surprise attack.

He led his team across Bachuan here, and attacked from the south side of Ruyi Mountain. At this time, the closest to Hideka was Kamichi Zuobei, who was in charge of strangling Tosabi's remnant enemies, but even they were 300 steps away from the main formation.

Xinqin led 500 elite troops, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of Ukita's army, from the south side of Ruyi Mountain, they fought against the artillery battalion stationed on the mountainside. Some of the Nanban gunners recruited by the Xiu family drew out their sabers and some drew out their muskets to fight against the relatives.

Xinqin entered the artillery formation and found that it was this kind of black and thick thing that killed them. He was really anxious and wanted to destroy them all, but the 12-pound cannon weighed 1.6 tons, and it was difficult to carry it by manpower alone. After the platform was destroyed, they continued to attack the mountain.

Worried about the safety of his eldest son, Yuanqin asked Jinzi Yuanzhai to lead 1000 people to interrogate his relatives to protect his relatives.

There were only 120 garrison troops around the Xiu family at the moment, so it was no wonder that this warrior would come to report and ask the Xiu family to retreat.

Hearing that the enemy army had already attacked, Akashi Quandeng and Date Masahiro were also in a hurry. They hurriedly pulled Xiujia on the horse and retreated from the north of the mountain. They did not bring the map, horse seal, and formation flag to the shogunate. With more than ten cavalry, they joined the army at the foot of the mountain.

The relatives who broke into Xiu's main camp split the curtain with a knife, and shouted, "Bizen! Where are you, come and fight me, you cowardly fellow!"

After finding that there was no one in the shogunate, he wanted to continue the pursuit, but he was stopped by the follow-up support Kaneko Motozhai and persuaded, "His Royal Highness occupied the Bizen Main Front, which is enough to realize His Royal Highness's reputation, but at this moment our army is still at a disadvantage. If you can capture the enemy chieftain, you should retreat immediately, and you must not love to fight!"

Xinqin is naturally not the kind of reckless person like Shengqin. After thinking for a moment, he agreed to Jin Zi Yuanzhai's suggestion, but Xinqin would not just retreat in vain. Take all the array flags away, and declare your martial arts as your own trophies.

And indeed, as Kaneko Yuanzhai said, shortly after Xinqin retreated, Yuxi’s family reoccupied Ruyi Mountain, and Xiu’s family saw a mess of the formation, as well as the poles whose formation flags and horse seals were cut off. , was extremely angry in his heart, and vowed to kill Tosa to vent his anger.
