Chapter 519: Dare to Charge to the Death
Li Xiao heard that the flag seal held by Gan Yujing appeared on the left flank of the legion, and he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.
Li Xiao's formation in this battle is the five standing reserves, the tiger reserves, and the local garrisons to hold the central defense.
The right flank defense line of the legion, although the terrain here is complicated, there is a street that runs through it, which can lead directly to Yuehou, and Xindi Mountain City, where Li Xiao's army is located, and the location is very important. Therefore, Li Xiao ordered Fujido Gaohu's water shooters, and Kinoshita Hidecho guarded them.
The left flank of the legion was guarded by the wives of the god Bao Changxian.
Faced with the onslaught of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Uesugi, Kanya Keiji, he didn't know if he could resist it.
However, on the left flank of the defensive line, the terrain is complicated, even if Gan Liang Jingzhi wants to attack strongly, there should be a lot of resistance, and at present, Uesugi Kenshin is mainly attacking the front defense line, and Li Xiao must not immediately divide his troops to rescue because of the appearance of Gan Liang Jingzhi.
At that moment, Li Xiao sent an order to the envoy of the Divine Protection Chief, and said: "Let your lord defend it to the death, and be sure to resist the attack of Gan Liang Jingzhi." ”
Oh!
The envoy said yes and stepped back.
"Obey orders." Li Xiao shouted again.
An envoy stepped forward and knelt down under Li Xiao.
"Yes, my lord."
Li Xiao then called another envoy and said: "Immediately order Jia Fei's family to immediately lead the army to approach the Shenbao Changgendarme and support at any time." ”
"Oh!"
Just after Li Xiao's order, the Uesugi Army's license plate car had advanced to the front of the Takeda Army.
Yamaura Jingguo, who had just escaped the artillery bombardment of the Takeda Army and survived, ignored the embarrassment that was blackened by the gunsmoke, held a sword, pointed to the earthen wall in front of the Takeda Army, and shouted to the left and right: "The Takeda Army's defense is such a long defensive line, if you want to achieve a little breakthrough, you can break through the whole line." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, the glory of the warriors lies in today, see you behind you!"
Yamaura Jingguo was so inspired. The soldiers on the left and right were all pushing the plate car and rolling towards the front of the Takeda Army.
The wheels of the cart immediately made a clicking sound because of the acceleration of the movement, and the soldiers of the Uesugi army hiding behind the license plate car were sweating profusely and pushed forward with all their strength.
The license plate car is closer to the Takeda Army's position.
Just as the Uesugi army was marching in full force, behind the parapet wall, there was an iron cannon with a black hole. It is facing the plate car that is constantly coming forward.
Above the mouth of the iron cannon, in the sunlight, a cold light flickered.
This makeshift parapet was hastily built, but it was not rudimentary.
On top of the two parapet walls, there were battlements, and the Takeda Army's iron cannon hiding behind the parapet wall was achigaru, so he propped the iron cannon on the battlement and aimed at the Uesugi army that was rushing up.
The sword in the hand of the Takeda Army Iron Cannon General was held vigilantly, and he did not have any orders before that. Any iron cannon that dares to shoot in advance will be beheaded after the war.
This is what every iron cannon ashigaru has long understood. And the discipline of shooting that must be strictly observed.
This is also the quality of Shengang Bei, Qibenbei, and Snake Tail Bei, which have long been trained by following Li Xiao to fight the world's starting troops.
Now the Takeda Army's iron cannons are light, their faces are solemn, and they stand behind the parapet without saying a word. On the wings of the nose, there are beads of sweat.
In addition to the noise of the Uesugi army from a distance, they heard each other's snorts. and the sound of a heart pounding.
By the time the Uesugi military vehicle advanced to a distance of 50 meters from the Takeda Army's position, the range was already outside the range of the Takeda Army's main cylinder.
At that moment, Yamapo Jingguo raised his sword and shouted: "Bow foot light arrow, iron cannon foot light shot!" ”
At the same time that Yamapo Jingguo gave the order, the other generals of the Uesugi Army also gave the order.
Hiding behind the towering car, the Uesugi army grabbed a long arrow with a bow, and after opening the bow and setting up the arrow, he raised the longbow 45 degrees and fired in the direction of the Takeda army's position. …,
Although the Japanese bowfoot was not an English longbowman, such a projectile was also powerful.
I saw that the bow and arrows were scattered in the sky, falling directly on the head of the Takeda army's position.
On the side, the iron cannons of the Uesugi army were light, and they were not willing to be left behind, so they climbed to the edge of the license car one after another.
They leaned close to the license car, and the iron cannon leaned against the bamboo bundle of the license car and fired at the Takeda military position.
The Uesugi Army's iron cannon ashigaru fired in groups of three, threesomes, and after the firing was finished, the iron cannon ashigaru immediately retreated, and reloaded while following with the car.
Most of the bows and arrows fired by the Uesugi army and the projectiles fired by the iron cannons hit the low wall on the side of the Takeda army.
All of a sudden, on the parapet wall, there were many arrowheads and white marks made by projectiles, or inlaid in them.
But under such a dense baptism, there were also Takeda soldiers behind the parapet, and from time to time they were hit by arrows or stray bullets, and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
All of a sudden, the roar of iron cannons and the sound of bowstrings on the side of the Uesugi army were not small, and it seemed that the Takeda army could not fight back.
So far, the Takeda Army's iron cannon Ashigaru is still behind the two parapet fortifications, silently silent.
With the help of the cover of the license car, the Uesugi army ashigaru actually suppressed the iron cannons, bows and arrows of the Takeda army, which were useless for a while.
This scene made the low-ranking ashigaru of the Uesugi army look excited, but on the other hand, their experienced samurai and commanders did not think so.
Yamaura Jingguo's face was gloomy, and in fact, the performance of the Takeda Army's iron cannon was not abnormal, but it was expected by him.
The Takeda Iron Cannon is not not shooting, but waiting for a better shot.
Because the distance of 20 meters in front of the Takeda military fortifications is the terrain of the hillside, the license plate vehicles that can only be driven on flat ground cannot rush up.
In other words, at this distance, the Uesugi army had to charge up the mountain without cover and directly facing the fire of the Takeda army.
However, since this is a decisive battle related to the fate of the two families, the Uesugi army has already shown the determination to capture the Takeda army's defense line, and the samurai and ashigaru who are hiding behind the brand car have drawn a white cloth and tied it directly to their foreheads.
In a few moments, they will charge as a trapped army of the dead.
This is a unique way for the Japanese to use a bowl with a white belt that represents the auspicious color to show that they see death as home.
Of course, for most of the Uesugi army, it is understood that this is not a kamikaze attack, in other words, it is a death sentence, and the effective range of the Takeda army's iron cannons. At around 80 meters, it has been greatly succeeded in shortening it to 20 meters in one breath, and as long as it can break through this line of defense, it will be able to break through the enemy camp like a bamboo.
The parallel defense line of the Takeda Army, as long as there is a slight breakthrough, it is a complete rout.
And this premise is that it only costs a little.
After the license plate car in front of the Uesugi Army. Nearly half of the samurai were tied to such bowls, each holding a cross spear, a naginata, and a spear, and their eyes showed a crazy color, and they were all ready to attack.
Rumble!
When the license plate car collides with a mountain rock and can no longer be promoted.
The soldiers of the Uesugi Army behind the license plate broke out into a chorus of shouts like the roar of a wild beast.
At the moment on the left flank of the Takeda Army.
Compared with the iron cannon on the central front and the battle of the big barrel, the forest here is densely wooded. The rivers are all over the place, which is obviously not conducive to the mobile operation of large corps. It is also easy to be ambushed and attacked.
Therefore, although the two armies fought here, although they were both small-scale, they reached a hand-to-hand battle.
In the middle of a mountain forest, hundreds of Uesugi and Takeda ashigaru fought fiercely.
Deep in the woods, it was a battle of pure luck.
Many people who use long weapons have suffered bad luck. …,
They didn't shoot into the trees. It was a stroke of the naginata knife that hit the trunk of the tree by mistake and got stuck in it, and these people were all opponents. Unceremoniously counterattacked, and the fate of direct begging.
After the initial mistake, the soldiers on both sides gave up their long weapons and switched to small weapons such as knives and ribs for hand-to-hand combat.
This is purely a battle of personal bravery, but there are also people who are unlucky, who are mixed with garlic on their heels, tripped over the roots of a tree and died with a whimper, such people, don't blame yourself for their bad luck.
During the fierce battle in the forest, in the river under the mountain forest, the Uesugi army with a small flag was swimming across the river, preparing to reinforce the troops fighting fiercely in the mountains.
And in the grass on the bank of the river, the iron cannon of the Takeda army hiding in it is ashigaru, and it is bombarded with continuous iron cannons, and the soldiers of the Uesugi army crossing the river.
The projectile of the iron cannon, above the river, shot up a small splash.
However, the iron cannon fire arranged on the impromptu line could not stop the pig rush of the Uesugi army.
On the surface of the river, hundreds of Uesugi soldiers fought bravely.
A full-body-draped, Uesugi general, rose from the riverbank like a ghost, dripping from his striking armor.
Bang!
The other party put the ten-character gun pillar on his chest, and a white gun bag at the front of the handle of the gun flew in the wind.
"The Uesugi family's general, Kanya Keizori!"
Guarding the river, more than 20 Takeda soldiers Ashigaru saw this person all pale.
The leading samurai gritted his teeth and shouted, "Kill him!" ”
Takeda Ieshigaru greeted in unison and stepped forward together.
I saw Gan Liang Jingzhi sneered, and turned the ten words big gun in his hand.
I saw that the other party waved three ten-character spears, as fast as lightning, waving, and slashing, several soldiers who stepped forward to fight and kill the Takeda Army were not his generals.
The corpse was killed, and on the river beach, the rest of the Takeda Army soldiers saw that Gan Yujing was so brave, and they all dispersed in a hurry.
Under the courage of Gan Liang Jing, the soldiers of the Uesugi army behind him rushed to the river beach and killed them towards the river.
The samurai under the Gan Yu Jing are also fierce pawns, under a conflict
This scene made the Jimboho Nagaken, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, and the Jinpo Nagaken, who had erected the main camp nearby, couldn't help but change color.
"None of the Four Heavenly Kings of Uesugi are easy to do."
Terashima, the general under the command of Shenbao Nagaken, said: "My lord, Gan Liangjing is brave and brave, and it is not for us to resist, so it is better to send someone to the main hall for help." ”
Hearing the words of Terashima's position, Shenbao Nagaken shook his head categorically and said: "You listen to the place where the main formation of the house is located, the iron cannon is roaring so intensively, and it is obviously a fierce battle, and there may not be me easy on the side of the main formation, not to mention that there is also the Duke of Kenshin sitting here." ”
"Don't ask for help, the whole army will fight to the death for me, and the order will go down, the whole army doesn't have to fight with Gan Jijing, and fight and retreat. I don't believe it, because I can't resist it. ”
Shenbao Changxian drew his sword and said categorically.
