Chapter 497: Your Wife, I'll Raise You!
At the beginning, when he learned that the pig was going to Quanyi to lead the troops to the Shizukuishi Imperial Palace, Shizukuishi Quanzhen still agreed in his heart, after all, he could walk slowly and relax. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, Shizukuishi has the heart to die at this time!
"Haven't all the pursuers of the southern family retreated? Why did so many cavalry suddenly run out! Shizukuishi rode his horse and galloped wildly, and looked back at the thousands of cavalry from the southern family behind him, and his heart was almost beating to his throat.
At this time, Shizukuishi Quanzhen still had the original "noble" image, and he didn't have time to put it on his pocket, and his cloak was really embarrassed. However, Shizukuishi didn't have the energy to take care of these anymore, because the southern cavalry behind him was getting closer and closer to Shizukuishi.
Half an hour ago, after Pig went to Kanyi and led the army for a while, the Ashigaru of the Spo family, who had the same idea as Shizukuishi Kanzhen, thought that they could finally take a rest, but as soon as Pig went to Kanyi and the others left, the horseback team of the southern family then came.
The arrival of the southern family's troops was so sudden that when many of the southern family's cavalry had already rushed in front of them, some of the Spo family's ashigaru were still standing in place and waiting for death. In the face of the cavalry of the southern family of Kamibai, the strength of the Spo family, which was already on the verge of rout, collapsed in an instant, and there was no need to wait for Shizukuishi to give orders, except for a few "loyal" bannermen, Shizukuishi was no longer a light at this time.
"My lord, the southern horse riding team is faster than us! If this continues, it won't be long before we're caught up! At this time, a Shizukuishi Tsunashi banner said loudly beside Shizukuishi.
Of course, Shizukuishi knew that he would be overtaken, after all, the war horses of the southern family were better than the Sibo family, and the southern family had their own horse-producing land, while the Sibo family did not. The reason why Spo Rangao wants to compete with the southern family for the dominance of Iwate County is actually a bigger reason for competing for the war horse resources in Iwate County!
In the entire Kita-Ou region, there are only four horse-producing areas. One is Akita-gun and Senhoku-gun within the Tsugawa family, the second is Iwate-gun, the third is the Shimokita Peninsula in the northernmost part of the Mutsu region, and the fourth is the Ezo area across the sea.
Originally, the war horse resources in the North Okuwa area were two each, the southern family and the Hiyama Andong family. The Anto family owns the war horse resources of Akita County, and since the Ezo area as a whole belongs to the Andong family, the war horses of Ezo are also at the disposal of the Andong family. The southern family occupies the war horses of the Shimokita Peninsula and the war horse resources of Iwate County.
For example, the war horses in the territory of the Spo family were actually purchased from the Osaki family and the Kasai family, and they changed hands many times in the middle, and the price was not only expensive, but the quality of the war horses was also quite average.
In addition, Shizukuishi and the others had already galloped a long distance in advance, and they were already sleepy and tired, so it was only a matter of time before they were caught up by the horseback team of the southern family.
"Lai Zhi, help me hold off the pursuers, as long as I can return to the Shizukuishi Imperial Palace safely, your family will be handed over to me at that time. In addition, when your young son becomes an adult, the family will give him 500 stones, how about it?" Shizukuishi said in a slightly pleading tone to Kimoto Ezaki Yorinao beside him.
Ezaki Yorizhi looked at Shizukuishi with a sincere expression, and after a little thought, he said with an affirmative face, "Leave it to me here!" ”
"Sangji, Suzy, come with me! Cover the retreat of the lord! Ezaki Yorizhi turned his horse's head, and then said to the two brothers Naochi Tatebayashi and Hidetomo Tatebayashi who were on his right. Escaping here, only the three of them were left by Shizukuishi's side, and the rest of the ashigaru were either caught up and dead, or they were hiding in some bush on the way.
Tatebayashi Naochi and Tatebayashi Hidechi are twin brothers, their fathers were killed in the first battle of the Shoto, and they were later adopted as banners by Shizukuishi. Although both of them are not very old, their martial arts are still very outstanding.
"Lord, please take care of my family!" Tatebayashi Shochi and Tatebayashi Hidetomo also had already realized it, and after hearing Ezaki Yorinao's words, they looked at the back of Shizukuishi Kanzhen in front of them without thinking and said firmly, the faces of the two young samurai were full of determination.
To tell the truth, hearing the loyal words of the flags, Shizukuishi was so moved that she was about to burst into tears!
"Don't worry, I will take care of your wife! My family will never forget your deeds! Shizukuishi barely managed to squeeze out a hint of reluctance and some indescribable expression, and after saying that, he sped up his horse and continued to rush forward.
Shizukuishi didn't think much about it at all, since someone was willing to stay and serve as the palace army for him, why not run away? The reluctance just now was all fake, if it weren't for the three "fools" who could die for themselves, Shizukuishi didn't even want to say a word.
Looking at the back of Shizukuishi Tanzhen's rapid departure, Ezaki Yorinao and Tatebayashi Shangzhi were silent for a while, raised their heads and looked at the blue sky, Ezaki Yorinao stroked the knife in his hand with nostalgia, and muttered in his mouth, "Kamataro, Xiaomei, I hope you can live well!" ”
The cavalry of the southern family quickly rushed towards the three of them, and the dust raised by the war horses shrouded the entire cavalry of the southern family, which was even more flamboyant and majestic. Ezaki raised his head sharply, kicked the horse's belly and shouted, "Gentlemen, charge with me!" Kill! ”
"Wow!" Even if there are only three people, even if the enemy is outnumbered, even if it is facing hundreds of cavalry from the southern family. The three of them still burst out with great courage at this moment. For a moment, Ezaki Yorinao even felt that his whole person had been sublimated........... Unfortunately, there is no use for eggs.
Half an hour later, the cavalry of the southern family engulfed the three of Ezaki Yorinao.
One of the samurai of the southern family led by him didn't even bother to look at the three of Ezaki, "Ahead is the ambush site of Lord Okuse, and Lord Oise should have already fought the enemy army at this time!" Everyone, rush over and don't let anyone go! ”
"Wow!" The horseback team of the southern family continued to pursue the front without stopping, and in front, the pig had already begun to panic.
.......
"Resist me, don't retreat!" Looking at the ashigaru beside him, who had no intention of fighting, the pig went to Quanyi's red eyes, trying to stop the rout of the ashigaru.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Okase Nao Nao looked at the dust raised behind Pig Quan Yi and the others, and the slight tremor of the ground under his feet, and knew that his cavalry had arrived.
"Pigs, you have no way to escape! The horseback team of this family is about to arrive, and it is better to surrender to this family than to give up their lives in vain! Maybe the lord is happy, and he can let you live! "Naonaga Oise is not in a hurry to attack at this time, but is ready to incite the pig to Kanyi and the others, if he can directly let the pig go to Kanyi to surrender, then he can naturally reduce his own losses. After all, the troops under his command are all militia led by the Okuse family themselves, and if they die, it will be their own loss.
At this time, the pig also felt the tremor of the ground under his feet, and the pig who led the troops to fight all the year round understood in an instant that it was at least a large-scale charge of hundreds of cavalry that would cause such a tremor. Obviously, the forces behind him are by no means Shizukuishi, so things may really be as Naonaga Okuse said, and there is no way back for him.
The pig went to Quanyi to look at Ashigaru beside him, who was already preparing to escape, and the pig went to Quanyi to know that some were over!
