"It's almost done." Takeda Shingen watched with satisfaction as the battle for the highlands ended with the victory of Takeda's army. Yu Qiuhei's Maple Bird Horse Seal was forced to retreat from the highlands. "The entire defense line has been torn apart, and the formation has to be transferred. The road to retreat to Mihimachi Uchio Na is narrow and not enough to accommodate thousands of people to retreat together. The defeated generals crowded at the entrance were cut and killed and collapsed, and the troops on the east coast of the Shishida River will be surrounded. The situation can no longer be curbed." He analyzed silently in his heart.

"Doctor Dashen must feel that he has already won now." Yu Qiuping asked the flag bearer to remove his horse seal from the high ground, and asked the flag to put the last flag-language command. "But although I can't do anything, I still have some experience in defense. I just want to rebuild the defense line in such a short time in such a messy situation!"

Yu Qiuping asked Omaezaki Nakahide to lead the second company of Seijiribe, and the third company immediately retreated along the east bank of Shibata River. Time was tight, so in order to avoid being encircled, it was necessary to retreat quickly. In order to ensure the withdrawal, the two artillery pieces were destroyed on the spot and abandoned, and do not retreat with the artillery.

Seiribei retreated north along the Shishida River, crossed the West Kanda River, and entered Mihimachi Shimoona, where the Kanda Shrine was stationed, using the West Kanda River as a new line of defense to prevent Takeda troops from crossing the river.

The three companies on the front high ground retreated from the high ground. The two companies of Narutobi retreated northwest and would establish positions to defend against the company of Yugoshi Ogawa, who was rushing to support, and to prevent the Takeda army from entering Ueoshi Ogawa from the east and south of the woods to prevent the Takeda army from entering Ueoshi Ogawa from the east line. The Seiyubei First Company, which is closest to Shiiyubei, will fight and retreat along Shiiyubei under the cavalry company, and will not give the Takeda army the opportunity to surround the main force of Shiiyubei. After the two armies crossed the West Kanda River together, Seiyubei Second connected the defensive position. The Cavalry Company and Seiyubei First Company took a detour to enter Ueoshi Ogawa from the north to serve as a reserve team.

After all the companies retreated, Yuqiu Army will build new defense lines along the three dangerous places of the forests on the south side of the Ueona village of Mihimachi, the forests on the east side, and the West Kanda River close to the east side.

This is the retreat and reorganization defense plan formulated by Yu Qiuping in a hurry based on the terrain and situation. Whether it can be successful depends on the execution ability of his subordinates.

"Your Highness's flag language is to let us retreat immediately. Time is urgent and we can't delay. We didn't have time to retreat with the cannons. Let us destroy the cannons on the spot." After Mimaezaki Nakahide understood Yu Qiuping's flag language, he couldn't help but feel a pain. "This cannon took so much gold and silver to make it. Why did Your Highness throw it away? Are you not afraid that Lord Sezuo beat him to death?"

"That can't be left to the Takeda family." Qianshouye Cheng looked at his three-pound cannon. Although he was reluctant to let go, he still took out Guo Ju'er's courage and asked his subordinates to take out a lot of gunpowder to blow up the three-pound cannon directly.

"Wait, wait!" Just as Chishouyeonen was holding a shovel to prepare for the charge, Omaezaki Nakahide grabbed him, "So much gold and silver, you can't just explode like this! Dig a hole, bury them, and wait until we defeat the Takeda army before digging it out!"

"Dig a hole?" Qianshouye Zen was stunned when he heard this. Obviously, he didn't follow the brain circuit of Mimaezaki Nakahide, "Buried?"

"Hurry!" Mimaezaki Nakahide pushed Chiharu hard and kicked the shovel in his hand, "Execute the order! We don't have much time!"

The personnel of the artillery team were urged by Omaezaki Nakahide to dig two large pits, pushed two cannons in, then filled the soil, and then retreated with Shi Liubei's troops with projectiles and gunpowder.

However, Naito Masatoki, the opponent of Naito Masatoki, would not let them go so easily. Seeing that Naito Masatoki retreated, Naito Masatoki immediately led the troops to pursue him. The cavalry, who had been dull for a long time, finally came in handy, sticking to Yuqiu's feet, did not allow them to evacuate. As soon as the Yuqiu army turned around and ran away, the cavalry rushed up and slashed. If Yuqiu army stopped to line up, the cavalry would wander from afar. Anyway, it would not allow you to evacuate comfortably, which seriously slowed down the retreat.

"This is not possible." Omaezaki Nakahide glanced at the west bank of the Shimada River. The First Company of the Horizon and the Cavalry Company were struggling to resist the pursuers. With the cover of the cavalry, it was not difficult for them to evacuate. However, in order to ensure that Omaezaki Nakahide's troops would not be encircled, they could not retreat for a long time.

The Joba Nobuya and Takasaka Masatoki have a tendency to encircle the cavalry company commanded by Yu Qiuhei himself, and Mimaezaki Nakahide couldn't help but be anxious.

"What should I do?" Mimaezaki Nakahide fell into deep thought. He actually knew there was a way in his heart, but he couldn't give this order cruelly. He sent a team to fight to the death to protect the large army from evacuating. However, under the pursuit of so many cavalry at Naito Masatoki, this team must have gone but returned.

"Send someone to ask Lord Aoki what he thinks. Now his company is walking at the end. Should he send someone to the palace to die? It depends on what he means." Mimaezaki Nakahide hesitated for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind, so he beat someone to let Aoki Ichizu make the decision. "After all, he is his subordinate, so he thinks about it himself."

"What does Lord Omaezaki mean?" Aoki Ichizu's face suddenly burst into anger after receiving the order from the messenger, "He is the captain, I am the company commander, I am his subordinate, just give orders directly if he wants me to do anything! Why should I ask for my opinion? He suspected that I, Aoki Ichizu, was a coward, and was worried that I would not dare to execute the order he ordered?"

"Don't rest ashamed of your anger!" The messenger shook his head hurriedly when he saw this, "Mr. Mimaezaki definitely has no intention of this!"

Aoki Ichijo didn't reply, but the anger on his face showed no sign of dissipation. He glanced at the messenger and suddenly spoke, "Look at you, are you new recruits in Kinki?"

"Yes, sir." The messenger replied subconsciously by Aoki Ichijo.

"No wonder you don't know the twists and turns here, cut." Aoki Ichijo snorted coldly, shook his head and said, "Those old people from the Imakawa family just look down on me. Obviously, the other Ohara and Kinki newcomers have already been recognized by them, but I have always been looked at by different eyes."

"Isn't it because your highness promoted me to be the platoon leader and robbed them of the Imakawa family's old man? Yes, I Aoki Ichizu was open-minded and admitted that my merits were not as good as some of them at that time, but my ability was not inferior to them!" Aoki Ichizu became more and more angry as he spoke. He slapped his scabbard hard, and his hand was red. "For so many years, I followed His Highness to fight south and north and made countless contributions, but they still refused to look at me directly. They always felt that I was a relative and took this position for the needs of the people. Isn't this? I even refused to give me a death order and asked me to consider it myself. Isn't it just looking down on me? For the warriors, it's such a shame and humiliation!"

"You go back." Aoki Ichijo slowly drew his sword out of the sheath, and patted the messenger on the shoulder. "I just told you Lord Mimaezaki that the relatives they had always looked down on were also members of Yuqiu Army and also a samurai who was loyal to His Highness! If he didn't believe it, I will prove it to him!"

After a while, Mimaezaki Nakahide listened to the messenger's reward in a daze, and looked at Aoki Ichizu's flag and escaped from the Seiyu Preparation Formation. He led the 5o war soldiers and went against the line and rushed to Naito Masato's position. He wanted to attack with death and buy time for the evacuation of the large army.

"Bastard! You are even more brainless than Katsumasa Yoshigang!" Mimaezaki Nakaho was so angry that tears suddenly came out, and cursed fiercely, "Even if he looks down on you, at most his mother doesn't toast you when drinking, how can he look down on you on the battlefield! You idiot! You are so stupid and loyal, no one of us knows about you!"

"Retreat!" Mimaezaki Nakahide wiped away the tears in his eyes, "You can't let that fool's sacrifice be wasted! Retreat quickly! After you go back, see if I don't pour his grave with turbid wine!"

Relying on the time of Aoki Ichizu's decisive assault, Shiryubei was able to escape Naito Masatoto's pursuit and safely retreat to the north bank of the Nishikanda River. The First Company of Shiryubei and the Cavalry Company led by Yuqiaihei also retreated through the Nishikanda River under the cover of Shiryubei's iron cannon shooting. According to the previous deployment, the defense line in the fishing village Mihimacho Shimoona area was under the responsibility of Shiryubei's Third Company, and the Kshin Shrine, which is where Yuqiaihei retreated, was under the responsibility of Shiryubei's Second Company.

"Masayoshi?" Yu Qiuping saw that the person who came to the second company of Seiyu Bei to be responsible for the handover of the defense zone was Kanematsu Masayoshi, and asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Yu Qiuping just finished asking this sentence, and Kanamatsu Masayoshi Hong's eyes had already given him the answer.

"Mr. Aoki sacrificed his life to protect the main force from evacuation." Kanamatsu Masashi

Ji held back his tears and saluted Yuqiu. "The deputy company commander of the Second Hall was seriously injured and unable to command. He was replaced according to the military ranks and was ordered by the next temporary company commander."

"I understand." Yu Qiuping felt a pain in his heart again, but his face tried not to show sadness. Excessive sadness for the generals would shake the morale of his subordinates. He patted Masayoshi Kanamatsu on the shoulder, encouraged him a few words, and then turned his head away to prevent Masayoshi Kanamatsu from seeing his twisted face.

"Retreat, let's go back to Mihida-cho Uchiona!" Yu Qiuhei turned over the horse, and immediately led his subordinates to turn around and leave. At this time, the troops of Nobuharu and Takasaka Masatoshi were besieging the entrance of Mihida-cho Uchiona, which was stationed by the three companies of Narida-cho. Takeda Shingen's direct command was directly led to the south bank of the West Kanda River, echoing from a distance between Shinda River and Masatoshi Naito, and confronting the second and third companies of Shinda River on the north bank of the West Kanda River.

Takeda Shingen's original formation moved to that high ground, which was where Yu Qiuping's original formation was before. Ascending to the high ground and having a vision, the battle situation in the entire basin suddenly became clear.

Takeda Shingen stroked his beard with his hands and looked around the battlefield thoughtfully. After a while, he suddenly laughed a few times without warning.

"Why did my father laugh?" After the troops collapsed, Takeda Katsurai kept following Takeda Shingen. He was upset and suddenly saw Takeda Shingen laughing, and couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"No, good, good, good." Takeda Shingen turned to Yuqiu's defense line, and the two words were repeated on his lips. "In such a short time, he retreated and rebuilt a whole line of defense. His thinking was clear and orderly, making full use of the terrain. I thought he had collapsed in the entire army, but he didn't want him to clean up the mess. This son's defense is still above me, and he is awesome. The Sanhao Repair Doctor Yuqiu's military strategy is absolutely worthy of his reputation for defense."

"Father seems to be very happy?" Takeda Katsurai was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion.

"It's the feeling of counterattacking when you meet a chess game, this is the feeling of counterattacking when you see a move." Takeda Shingen tapped his palm with his matching and smiled with great satisfaction, "This is the taste of military strategy. After Kawaakashima, I haven't had such pleasure for a long time."
