The battle had not yet begun, but the enemy ran first. This matter should be a happy thing for anyone, at least there is no need to fight anymore, Yoshikawa Motoharu's face is gloomy, and Maori Motoharu's face is not good-looking, obviously the words that he originally thought of are useless, and Date Jun ran away and said a ghost. The first wave of archers with thousands of people obviously did not suffer any substantial damage to the Date army, at most a few unlucky eggs were shot in the neck and carried away by their companions, and not even a single body of the Date army was seen, to be exact, not even a single flag of the Date army was left, and it was quite clean, which made the final victor quite embarrassed. After fighting for a long time, the Date army actually took a circle under their noses, killed more than 150 horsemen, and then left after defeating the Maori army's spirit, and swept the face of the Maori army fiercely.
If it is placed all over the world, retreating at such a close distance will definitely be chaotic, and the enemy will not let go of such a good opportunity, and will definitely wave troops and horses against them to cover up the past, but unfortunately this is the Wa State, to be precise, the Warring States Period of the Wa State, an era that is not understood according to common sense, in the narrow canyon, one side is prepared, one side hesitates, and the life that leads the miracle is so helpless and headache.
The sky gradually darkened and sank, and before it was completely dark, the battle on the battlefield finally came to an end after one side retreated, and the Date army walked quite calmly, not at all like the panicked posture when fleeing in a hurry after the enemy, which made the generals of the Maori Army and the Beigo coalition frown and leave nothing but resentment. The torch 6 continued to be lit, shaking firelight. The battlefield in front of Mt. Komi was unusually abrupt, and the morale of the Mori Yuan suddenly rose when he arrived. Date Jun left without saying that I would not play with you, and then compared it to the hellish battlefield, it was like a hard slap in the face of Maori Motoshi, and it snapped.
Yoshikawa Motoharu has no face to say at this moment, except for resentment or resentment, as if everyone around him is laughing at him.
These four words refer to the current situation of the father and son of Mori Motoharu and Yoshikawa Motoharu and the Maori retainers who went with them. It's already dark, who knows if there is an ambush in front of the troops, according to Komiyama's military appearance, the Date army is not a rabble that is about to collapse, once the soldiers and horses are ambushed and take advantage of the dark night to surprise and cause their own defeat is not impossible, although the possibility of defeat is very slim, but who can guarantee that it will not. But it is also impossible to retreat. Now once the troops are withdrawn, the morale that has been mustered up in the Battle of Komiyama will collapse in an instant, and the death of more than 150 horsemen has led to the most important army of the Maori army, Yoshikawa's vitality and prestige have been greatly damaged, and if it were not for the absolute superiority of the Maori army in numbers, Yoshikawa is afraid that it will immediately collapse.
The battle to force the Date family to follow the example was Maori Yuan's strategy before he came out, not because he didn't want to kill Date Mashiro who had annoyed him several times with a stick. It's not a magnanimous saint, it's really that the current situation doesn't allow him to wave his troops to stay in the Houguo for a long time, Tao Qingxian always threatens his back road, and Niko Haruhisa, who has been on the same side since the Battle of Kiriyama Castle, is also eyeing the Maori family, once he can't defeat Date Mashiro in a short time. If the Maori family loses its vitality, it is difficult to guarantee that the Maori rule will remain so stable.
That's why he summoned the Bigo coalition to go into battle together. He really wants to crush the Date army with the advantage of numbers, and force Date Zhengheng to come to the table to negotiate, once he bows his head for the first time, there will be a second time, and a third time, he has countless ways to make Bei China change the banner of the king.
Now the existence of the Bigo coalition army has become an obstacle that he has to enter the army, and the people of Bigo seem to have surrendered to the prestige of Maori Moto, but everyone can see that except for the three counties that have been trying to suppress and pacify the country of Anyi, Huisu, Shiluo, and the four counties of the Imperial Tune, the people of the rest of the countries are still unconvinced, if they can't get a beautiful victory in the joint battle of sending troops to prepare for China, who knows if they will disobey or even continue to maintain **, Let Maoli Yuan rarely overpower Tao Qingxian's advantage and fall apart.
Maori Yuan remained silent, as if he was still considering whether to enter the army, and his retainers showed anxious and worried expressions, obviously they also saw clearly that the current situation was not an absolute advantage for the Maori family, and once the army failed again, the prestige of the Maori family would be reduced again. Most of the six or seven thousand Bigo coalition troops who came with this march were close to the Mori family, Miyoshi Takaryo of Hieiwei Mountain Castle in Miyoshi-gun, Yamauchi Takadori of Kosan Castle in Kesu County, and Kaji Seiharu of Nantenzan Castle in Konu County, each of whom sat in different positions, and their faces were so gloomy that they could drip water. The three of them are all the people of Bigo Province, and they should have advanced and retreated together, but Maori Yuan has always liked to manipulate the way of balance in the hearts of the people, knowing that if the people of Bigo Kingdom abandon their previous suspicions and really form an alliance, once they become bigger, it will be a big thing, and the relationship between the three seems to be harmonious, but in fact, the well water has always been not against the river water, so it is naturally difficult to sit together.
The night breeze blew, Mao Li Yuan fell silent, and his genealogy retainers were not easy to say, and they were also silent, but Amano, who had always maintained a semi-** nature, took the lead in speaking: "Duozhibi Palace, everyone, if I'm an artist and tens of thousands of troops are deterred by a short and narrow canyon to retreat back to the Shenbian Plains, it will be a great shame!" At this time, as long as you light the torch and march step by step, ignore the ambush soldiers around and rush straight through the canyon, as long as you reach the side of the Oda River, it is not easy to turn back and flank the ambush soldiers back and forth, even if it is the Nishiebara defense line, it is like a chicken. ”
Mao Liyuan could hear Amano's solemn words and frowned slightly, he could hear the meaning of Amano's solemn words, now that his side has an absolute advantage in numbers, and he also knows the ambush of the Date army, as long as he is cautious and quickly breaks through the Takayagawa Gorge and marches to the side of the Oda River, every ambush is a floating cloud.
Mao Li Yuan once again regained the majestic posture of Zhixiong, his eyes were like flames, staring closely at the dark canyon, since he had decided the reason for having to enter the army, his mind was already thinking about the next joint battle deployment, according to the information detected earlier, the total strength of the Date army was only 6,000 people, of which there were only 3,000 soldiers, and 3,000 people, if you want to ambush the Date army will definitely use 3,000 soldiers, as long as you pass through the Guò canyon quickly, as long as the number of ambushes of the Date army is determined, It was easy to defeat a defensive army composed of Minfu and seize the Nishigabara defensive line.
Mao Li Yuan suddenly laughed wildly at the mountain, and said: "I didn't expect that the little Date Zhengheng and other rats also want to calculate the dragon, if he really calculates, then there is no need for my Mao Li Yuan to survive in the world, everyone, the number of enemies of Komiyama is about 1,000 people, according to the calculation of the 3,000 soldiers of the Date Army, he can be used as an ambush soldier, that is, 2,000 people, does he really have the courage to give up the solid Xiyi original formation, and bring about his own destruction." I would rather expect him to attack with all his troops, rather than fighting a protracted battle with the strong fortifications of Nishigabara. Don't wait for me, don't wait for me! The whole army is advancing, and the Guò Takayagawa Gorge is fast, I want to see if Date Zhengheng rats dare?! ”
Mao Liyuan gave an order, and the combined forces of An Yi and Beihou suddenly accelerated their march, but fortunately they did not disperse when they were stranded just now, and soon gathered a long dragon, and tens of thousands of torches illuminated the Gaoyachuan Gorge as if it were daytime. Mao Li Yuan looked at the canyon like the white sun, and he laughed loudly again, in case there is really an ambush, this kind of worry is superfluous for Mao Li Yuan, because he has enough confidence, even if he wants to ambush, he will be scared back when he sees such a large army, of course, he is not afraid if he really comes. Even heroes such as Yoshitaka Ouchi and Haruhisa Niko were toyed with by him between applause, and whether or not Date Masahiro could make him lose.
But Maori Yuan was still a little scared, not based on reason, but from a momentary intuition. This intuition often allows him to see through the truth of the world. I'm going to be quiet, do you dare to do it? Although this kind of talk is full of confidence in victory, it is also a headache once something unexpected is done.
Based on intuition, Mori Motosa's Chinese army was slightly behind, and the front was a three-person Bigo coalition led by Miyoshi Takatsu, Yamauchi Takatsu, and Chiseiharu, and the two wings were still protected by Kuniji Motosho and Kumagai Nobunao, and the remnants of Yoshikawa Motoharu followed directly beside Mori Motoharu.
Not long after the pull-out, the front and Zhichengchun's subordinates returned from the front of the Yugu Yuanjia from the front, saw the formation jump off the horse, brought it up, and half-knelt and said: "Yuan Zhigong, there are scattered scattered soldiers of the Date Army in front, and there seems to be an ambush in secret, please decide." ”
Mao Liyuan snorted coldly. He didn't know the plans of He Zhi Chengchun and the others, for fear that he would jump into the ambush circle of the Date army and lose his troops, and his vitality would be greatly damaged. Yoshikawa Motoharu's experience is not far away, and they are not willing to invest their precious forces in a joint battle without interest, even if they finally seize Bei China, they can only eat some leftovers, why invest hugely, not to mention that they are still vainly talking about the gains and losses of victory and defeat.
Mori Moto knew what these people were thinking, but it was not the time to do it, so he immediately issued an order, ordering Kuniji Motosho and Kumagai Shinbu to break through quickly.
Standing on a cliff, Date Mashiro was a little distracted, he watched the team like a fire dragon slowly pass through the valley, his eyes were a little dull, his fists clenched tightly and slowly raised, and then he swung down at the canyon fiercely, shouting: "Ignite the fire!" The equally nervous guards who had been waiting for a long time hurriedly lit the brazier as if they had been pardoned.
