Chapter 288: Victory! Victory!

"Hi Hi"

Shirtless, with their upper bodies exposed, their muscles exposed, they were slowly moving around the large barrel covered with cannon coats for the door.

As the general under Li Xiao, Rui Costa was limping on the platform of the original Jiangma Army's main formation.

He accidentally sprained his foot while climbing the mountain, but as a Franco, Rui Costa refused to be helped.

However, it is necessary to pretend to shout loudly to show your bravery to others.

Standing on the top of the mountain, the enemy troops below the mountain swarmed like ants, and attacked the Kamioka reserve army upward, trying to capture Mt. Tenjin. On the other hand, the sister Koji Yoritsuna also led the army to move forward, intending to break through the left flank of the Takeda Army of the Uchijima Army.

At the top of the mountain, the Ashigaru of the Otsuki team is busy.

As the cannon coat was revealed, a large copper cylinder with an iron hoop outside the door appeared in front of everyone's eyes, revealing its hideous color. Immediately, several ashigaru worked together to lift the big tube and arrange it into the preset position.

"My lord, the gun emplacements have been placed."

A light head reported to Rui Costa.

Rui Costa turned around and whispered a bunch of Francos to the effect that it was nothing more than swear words like letting these dogs keep and die.

Immediately, Rui Costa stretched out his hand to the bottom of the mountain and said loudly to his ashigaru, "What are you looking at? Let them all go to God with me."

"Oh"

A large gate was peeking out from the top of the mountain, and under Rui Costa's nose, Mount Tenjin was in a commanding position, and the position of all enemy troops was in the eye. Although the siege power of the mortar cannon is huge, but because it is a standard curved artillery, the disadvantage is that the firing range is short, and now it has been transported to the mountain, and the height difference provided by Mt. Tenjin greatly increases the range of the mortar cannon.

If there are enough mortars, the firepower of the Takeda Army's large barrel can cover the entire battlefield and point to wherever it is hit.

Rui Costa, on the other hand, is now doing the right angle of fire, and at the foot of the mountain, directly at the base of the sister army three hundred miles away, the flag of the sister road Yoyori himself is erected.

Just like the scene of the Battle of Austerlitz two hundred years later, the artillery emperor Napoleon dragged the cannon up the Platzen Heights, and used the range of the cannon to fully bombard the Russian-Austrian army below the mountain.

Rui Costa opened his brass pocket watch, squinted at it, and said solemnly: "It's now ten o'clock in the morning, 1566, this is my time Rui Costa, order, to shell the mountain"

Immediately, loud slogans sounded on the top of the mountain.

By this time, the sky was already bright, the sky was covered with stratus clouds, and the sun was spraying out of the sea of clouds on the horizon and slowly passing over the mountain peaks.

The sunlight dispelled the thin mist, and the four fields were covered with gold.

It has been more than three hours since the war began.

The left flank of the Takeda Army was on the verge of collapse under the attack of the Sister Koji Army on behalf of the Sister Koji Yoritsuna.

All the retainers in this formation stretched their necks and watched the battle ahead with confidence.

Sister Xiaolu Lianglai stood in the place of the main formation, looking at the sun behind the Tenjin Mountain, and under the sunlight, the current world on his body seemed to be plated with a layer of golden light.

Seeing that the offensive of the front army was going well, Sister Xiaolu Lianglai immediately raised the general in the air, and couldn't help but say: "I won this battle in the end, and everyone worked hard to break the current momentum of the Takeda army." ”

Just as General Yoshiyori Koji was about to press down and give the order to launch the final blow, he heard a loud bang from the top of the mountain.

Although the top of Mt. Tenjin was still some distance away from his own main formation, his body was still shocked when he heard the sound of artillery bombardment.

"What is this?"

Faced with the inquiry of Sister Koji Lianglai, all the samurai were confused, so they could only shake their heads.

At this time, he only heard a series of extremely sharp whistling sounds, and after a while, the whistling sound suddenly disappeared, and then he felt a pop and a vibrating sound in the air above his head, like someone holding a wooden stick and waving it violently in your ear.

At this time, Sister Xiaolu Lianglai's eyes suddenly darkened

Of the seven mortar shells, except for one, the remaining six hit the main position of the sister road army together.

In an instant, smoke and dust rose from the main formation of the sister road, and the flag mark that was originally fluttering was gone.

The sister road army was shocked by this sudden shelling, and they were all in a state of confusion for a while, none of them had seen the power of the big cylinder in Guiyun City, and when they saw that the flag mark of the formation was gone, everyone was in chaos at the moment. …,

At the moment when the big barrel sounded, the Takeda Army's great counteroffensive began.

At present, the iron cannon is ashigaru, and the bow ashigaru is the last new force of the Takeda army, taking advantage of the momentum of this artillery bombardment, the iron cannon ashigaru threw the iron cannon aside, picked up the bamboo spear, and the rib difference counterattacked to the present.

Kohata Xiaoken pulled out the ribs around his waist and led the iron cannon Ashigaru of his headquarters to join the Uchijima Army's military momentum and counterattack the current sister Koji Army.

At the same time, the Shinano Endo Army, which was supposed to attack the Banner Honbei, was also counterattacked head-on by the Takeda Army's Banner Honbei.

On the top of Mt. Tenjin, Rui Costa looked at the big crater smashed by several shells in the main formation of the sister army with satisfaction, and said to his subordinates: "Don't look at it, adjust the angle and bombard the Endo army on the right flank." ”

"It's a stone fire arrow"

At the foot of Mt. Tenjin, when Eima Huisheng saw that the main formation of the sister road army was attacked, he had already identified what kind of weapon the Takeda army used.

Just after the main battle of the sister road army was attacked, the great counterattack of the Takeda army began.

As far as Jiangma Frasers saw in his eyes, the mountains were full of sword mountains and gun forests, and the flags of Takeda Ling fluttering in the air one after another.

The sound of killing shook the sky.

He was overwhelmed by a heavy, terrible feeling.

Jiangma Huisheng was stunned for ten minutes.

"Lord, what should I do? The sister Koji Army and the Endo Army were attacked by the Takeda Army at the same time. ”

Jiang Ma Huisheng pursed his lips, and the scabbard in his hand was deeply inserted into the dirt on the ground, stirring vigorously from side to side.

A deathly silence hung over Eima Frassing, the retainers of the Eima family, and the samurai on his side.

"Hida is over."

Jiangma Fraser finally said this sentence with his eyes down.

As the representative of the Sister Koji Army, Yoritsuna Koji is currently on the front line, struggling to resist the ferocious counterattack of the current Takeda Army's left flank.

Even though this array was attacked, Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang vaguely guessed that Sister Xiaolu Lianglai was likely to have suffered an accident at this moment.

But the sister is not afraid of change.

"This battle is a life-and-death battle for my sister Xiaolu's family, and we must not give up." Sister Xiaolu Laigang came to the front line in person and shouted orders to everyone.

Under his command and command, the samurai of the sister army regained their courage and threw themselves into battle, which is enough to show the calm nature of a general.

Under the command of the sister road Yoritsuna, the sister road army still occupies a numerical advantage in numbers, retracts the initial passive situation, stabilizes the battle line, and is now desperately resisting the Takeda army's offensive that cannot be sustained like the first three axes.

"We won't lose"

Sister Koji Yoritsuna gritted his teeth and said that in his prediction, although the Takeda Army invested in a major counteroffensive, the Takeda Army did not have an advantage in the offensive on three aspects.

Whether it is the side of the sister army, the Jiangma army, or the Endo army, even if they cannot break the Takeda army in front of them, it is still possible to drag the enemy army and drag the battle into a stalemate.

If the stalemate continues, there will be a last chance to fight, even if it cannot be won, but even if it is defeated, it will not be wiped out.

What Sister Xiaolu Yoritsuna is most worried about is the big iron cannon-like weapon of the Takeda Army on the top of Tenjin Mountain, if this big iron cannon continues to bombard, the battle situation may continue to deteriorate.

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang was about to think, when a flag book hurried in front of him.

When the other party was in a hurry, he fell several times while running.

Qiben came to the front of Sister Xiaolu Lianglai, panting and pointing behind him, "Go back...... Lord...... Gong, Tsunechi-sama has escaped."

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang suddenly struck like a lightning strike, the whole person stood upright in place, pointed at each other, and said in disbelief: "You say it again"

Qiben reluctantly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Tsuneki-sama Changlu has fled. I only saw him snatch a war horse and flee from the battlefield with a few close men, and now the army of the Jiangma Army is taken over by the old god of the family, Xingguang, barely blocking the Kamioka Bei of Shima Katsumo. ”

"How dare he?"

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang threw his head on the ground and rebuked loudly: "Jiangma Huisheng, this coward, he is not worthy of being a samurai. ”

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang never thought that the Jiangma Huisheng, who had sworn in front of his father and swore to capture Tianshen Mountain, actually dared to abandon his army in the middle of the battle and flee alone.

He didn't know that Jiangma Huisheng was also a human being, and people would have fear, fear, and might not usually feel it, but as soon as they went to the battlefield and faced with a life-and-death decision, their ordinary cultivation would disappear. …,

"This coward's battle is lost at his hands."

Sister Lu Lai Gang scolded repeatedly.

On the side, the elder general of the Xiaolu family, Xiao Daoshi, said: "Your Highness, now that Jiangma Huisheng has fled, this news cannot be suppressed, and it will soon spread throughout the whole army, and it will ...... then."

Just then they heard a loud sound from Mt. Tenjin, a loud sound of a landslide cracking the ground, and this time it was the Endo Army on the right flank of the coalition that suffered.

Now that even his sister Xiaolu Lai Gang, Kojima Time's face has become pale and pale.

On the battlefield, with the escape of Jiangma Huisheng, the first collapse of the coalition army was the direction of the Jiangma Army.

"The Takeda Army's offensive is too fierce"

"We Lost"

"The lord has fled, what are we doing desperately?"

All kinds of voices appeared in the ashigaru of the Jiangma army, and the news that Jiangma Huisheng had escaped was the last straw that overwhelmed the hearts of these Jiangma soldiers.

The position of the Jiangma Army was full of chaos, chaos, and all kinds of expressions appeared on the face of the Jiangma Army.

Without the pressure of Eima Frasson, their formation was rushed and collapsed by the condescending impact of Kamioka Bei.

After the old god of the family, Xingguang made a final effort to try to stabilize the morale of the army after Jiangma Fraser escaped, but to no avail.

At the last moment, the god of the god of the world took the place of Eima Fraser to perform the duties that should have been, and led several samurai of the god dynasty to face the Takeda army that swept down like a torrent, and was finally stabbed to death indiscriminately.

As soon as the god Dai Xingguang died, the ashigaru of the Jiangma army was no longer restrained, and the army collapsed

Kamioka was condescending, killing with the momentum of the wind and clouds, slashing with a knife and stabbing with a spear.

The mountain path was full of corpses like sandbags, and for a moment human heads were rolling and flesh was flying.

The Eima army began to drop their spears, throw away the flags behind them, and turned to flee, their faces were full of terror, and some of them even wailed and cried in fear.

During the flight, people pushed, cursed, punched and kicked each other, just to rush down the mountain.

But the mountain road is narrow, where can it accommodate so many people's pushing.

On a narrow cliff, the Jiangma Army, who was oppressed by the Takeda Army, was actually pushed down the cliff by no less than 20 people.

From time to time, cries of despair rang out from the cliff, and the eyes of the man who fell off the cliff revealed a look of resentment, because he had died at the hands of his own people.

The Takeda Army took advantage of the situation to cover up and shouted for the other party to surrender, and the Eima Army Ashigaru did not hesitate to put down his weapons and join the ranks of surrendering to the Takeda Army.

However, these defeats hindered the speed of the Takeda army's pursuit, and more people fled from it.

Under the First World War, the Jiangma Army, which used to be the dominant Flying Horse, has since disappeared.

After the collapse of the Jiangma Army, the Sister Koji Army immediately fell into the flanking attack of Kamioka Bei and the left flank of the Takeda Army.

Now the former Hida Ichijima clan has also regained the glory of the original head of the Uchijima family, and bravely joined the tide of this counteroffensive.

It's hard to fight against the wind, but anyone can fight against the tailwind.

Thinking that Hida's territory could be carved up after the war, the heads of the Uchijima clan, Hirose Sojo, and Nabeyama Yoshiyuki all showed the momentum of beating the water dogs, and together with Kamioka Bei, who had just defeated the Eima army, they attacked the sister Koji army back and forth.

Before Kamioka Beiwei joined the battle, his sister Koji Yoritsuna even organized a counter-assault. wants to directly break through the left flank of the Takeda Army and attack the main formation, see if you can get lucky and kill Li Xiao and turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.

Although this assault did not enter the Takeda Army's main formation, it made the Uchijima clan scramble.

But now that Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang is good at fighting, but in the face of the front and rear attacks of the Takeda Army, he is also powerless.

However, compared to the Eima Army, as a samurai in the Koji family, the sister of the Daimyo family who has been based on Hida for a hundred years, he shows enough courage.

The samurai of the sister Koji family fought to the death, and it was common to see a lone samurai, shouting their family names and names, and then waving their family heirloom swords, and breaking into the Takeda formation.

Such a desperate blow can often make this person pull two or three people on his back before he dies in battle.

However, the samurai of the few sisters and the Koji family are limited after all, and not everyone is like this.

The Takeda army shouted slogans for the other side to surrender, and on the side of the sister army, there were ashigaru people who had lost their courage and began to surrender.

These ashigaru men are usually killed in battle by their own team or samurai, and immediately choose to give up and surrender. …,

At this time, anyone can see that the sister Koji family is gone, they are not samurai who have served the sister Koji family for generations, and they do not have the idea of loyally fighting until the last moment for the lord.

Their thoughts are more about saving their lives and going back to see their families, which is the most important thing for them.

Rows and rows of spears were discarded on the ground, the banner of the sister Xiaolu family Kenling was pulled from the back of the barrel behind him, and the array hat on his head was thrown aside in a mess, and these Ashigaru people from the Hida mountain people looked at the opponent in front of them with expressionless faces.

The Takeda Army bypassed these resistance and attacked the rest of the sister army that continued to resist.

With the death of the samurai of the Sister Route Army and the surrender of a large number of Ashigaru, the Sister's Route Army is gone.

The sisters were beaten to the point that they lost their armor.

The army was defeated like a mountain, and most of the army of more than 1,200 people was annihilated.

Under the successive collapse of the sister army and the Jiangma army, the resistance of the Endo army became meaningless, and the head of the Endo family, Endo Keitaka, led the army to fight and retreat, and withdrew from the battlefield.

At noon, the battle that decided Hida gradually came to an end.

Li Xiao rode on top of the black forging and took Shigang Yiyu to inspect the battlefield for the last time.

He was the first to come to the direction of the former sister's army, and Rui Costa was the first to shell this place in the first place.

After coming here, what Li Xiao saw were several craters still emitting green smoke, a few fallen war horses, a corpse, and the flag seal of the general of the sister Xiaolu Army who had been burned half off.

Li Xiao rode forward a few steps on horseback, and came to the corpse of a samurai with a foot in the world covered in the outside, and carefully recognized the other party's face.

Although the other party's face was blackened, there was no need to guess that this was the Hida Lord's sister Koji Lianglai.

The other party was killed in the first round of bombardment, and the ambition to dominate Hida was extinguished.

Immediately, there was a burst of cheers on the battlefield, and it turned out that the army led by Shima Katsutoshi to pursue the Endo army had returned.

Dao Shengmeng walked to Li Xiao's horse, threw a flag seal under Li Xiao's horse, and said loudly: "Lord, this is the flag seal of the head of the Endo family, but it's a pity that the other party ran away." ”

Li Xiao glanced at it and said to the soldiers: "Lord Dao Shengmeng, you have worked hard, your name of bravery will be famous all over the world because of this battle." ”

Hearing Li Xiao's praise, all the troops picked up their spears and shouted, especially the ashigaru of Kamioka Bei was even more excited, and Shima Shengmeng just smiled heartily at this, and said: "It is my honor to be able to conquer the world for the lord." ”

After the victory of the island, the forces of the Takeda army from all walks of life gathered here to report the results of the battle to Li Xiao.

The first was Rui Costa, who limped to Li Xiao.

As soon as the battle entered the pursuit, the big barrel was useless, so when all the troops went to pursue the enemy, Rui Costa happily led his large cylinder back down the mountain.

As soon as Rui Costa saw Li Xiao, he chirped and asked him for credit, how about it, my big tube is not powerful, do you give me a few more rewards, it would be better if you could come to the number of beauties with five beds.

Facing Rui Costa's affectionate look, Li Xiao couldn't help laughing.

After Rui Costa, the forces of all directions were basically in line.

First of all, the Uchijima clan and others knelt in front of Li Xiao, offered the prisoners of war, and handed over the captured heads.

The habit of the Uchijima Army is still the same as that of the Warring States Daimyo of this era, and the number of heads is counted as the battle achievements, so when the general situation of the enemy army collapsed, the soldiers of the Uchijima Army saw the corpses all over the ground, and they were busy picking up the ribs to cut off the heads.

And when the army paid the first count, the Uchijima army actually paid more than 500, almost two people.

Uchijima walked in front of Li Xiao exaggeratedly, showing off the blood-stained Gu Zu, as well as the few cracks on Gu Zu.

Of course, Li Xiao just smiled at this, and according to statistics, there were a total of nine hundred and thirty heads seized, including many sisters of the Xiaolu family, the city lord-level retainers of the Jiangma family, and famous warriors.

For example, the second son of Sister Xiaolu Lianglai Sister Xiaolu Xiangang, the lord of Xiaodao City, the time of Xiaodao, the old god of the Jiangma family, and the heads of Xingguang and others are all here.

For the 3,000 troops, the proportion of casualties reached more than 30 percent, and regardless of the injuries, after this battle, the two wealthy sisters of the Hida family, the Xiaolu family, and the Jiangma family's power was almost exhausted.

On the other hand, it was not easy for the Takeda Army, Li Xiao's headquarters suffered more than 120 casualties, more than 200 wounded, and some of them were disabled, forever losing their combat effectiveness. …,

As for the left flank of the Takeda Army, which had been attacked before, the casualties of the wealthy families such as the Uchijima family were not small.

In addition, the captures of this battle, such as the foot, large armor, spears, and swords, are not much, and they are almost piled up into a hill in the same place, stacked high and high.

"My lord, this is a big victory, with an army of 2,000 and a big defeat of 3,000," Looking at this scene, Xiaohan Xiaoxian took the lead in speaking.

"After this battle, Hida has been pacified, and there is no longer a force that can confront the family, congratulations to the lord," Shioka Kazuha said congratulatorily.

The Uchijima clan also bowed down to Li Xiaoma and said, "We are all willing to be loyal to the Takeda family for generations."

Li Xiao glanced at it, and saw that all the troops saw that their eyes were full of reverence, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: The strong enemy is in ashes under his eyes, or he is trembling in front of him, and the eldest husband should be like this

At that moment, Li Xiao's heart couldn't help but surge with blood, rode his horse around the place, pulled out the sword on his waist, stabbed into the sky and shouted: "Victory"

"Victory"

The army roared with Li Xiao.

The tip of the spear was raised high, reflecting the midday sun.

Immediately, Li Xiao struck the horse's buttocks with the back of his knife, and the black forging roared past, and the nearly two thousand troops gathered in front of him used the tips of their guns to densely pause, making a convex sound, and then the cheers of the clouds shook the sky from all sides.

Everyone's chest was like a bellows pulled, bursting with the greatest strength of their bodies, distorting their faces, and shouting excitedly: "Victory"

"Victory"

"Victory, victory, victory"

The wind whistled past Li Xiao's ears, looking at the faces flying in front of him, but he thought in his heart: The Hida Country is just the beginning of my Li Xiao, a foothold, and I have to conquer a larger territory and plant my flag all over the Hokuriku Province, and even the entire Sixty-six Countries

In the battle of Tenjin Mountain Castle, the two largest forces of Hida, the sister Xiaolu family, the Jiangma family, were defeated by the Takeda Army Hida and Li Xiao, the general of the Viethorne Central Army.

The Takeda family completely incorporated Hida Province into its territory, and the banner of Takeda Ling flew high here.

The elder sister of the Koji family, Yoshiyori Koji, was killed in battle, and his son and sister Yoritsuna Koji and the head of the Endo family, Yoshitaka Endo, who participated in the battle, packed up the remnants of the army and fled to Hachiman Castle in Shinano's gun, and finally survived.

And Jiangma Huisheng, the head of the Jiangma family, is the biggest person responsible for the first escape from the battlefield and the collapse of the battle line.

After the battle, he did not succeed in escaping, and three kilometers from the battlefield, he was attacked by a local farmer.

He and his attendants were both overturned and captured by the peasants, and then they were sent to the Takeda Army barracks by the local peasants in exchange for a reward ......from Li Xiao.
