Chapter 160: Leading the way
The Koji Army, which had retreated from Suwa Castle in the highlands, was slowly assembling and regrouping.
Seeing that the Takeda Army was shot by the Javelin of the Kawakami Army in the front line and suffered heavy losses, Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang couldn't help but smile and said to the left and right: "I thought that the Kawagami family was not the opponent of the Takeda Army, but now I looked away. ”
Sister Koji Ryoyori shook his head and said: "When you are in battle, you must not underestimate the enemy, you must know that a world-famous general like Uesugi Kenshin will also be defeated under the hands of the milky Takeda Katsuyori, not to mention others, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and the slightest carelessness can be reversed. ”
Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang nodded and said, "I wrote down my father's words." ”
"Huh?" Sister Xiaolu Lianglai snorted lightly.
"What's wrong? Father? Sister Lu Lai Gang asked.
"How come the Takeda Army is more courageous after being frustrated, and the good fighting of the Kai people is really terrifying."
Hearing Sister Xiaolu Lianglai say this, Sister Xiaolu Ryō Gang saw that it was really the Takeda Army, and after being frustrated, he was even more courageous.
Seeing this scene, the faces of both father and son changed slightly, such a military situation was really terrifying.
Sister Koji Yoyori suddenly showed surprise on his face, pointed his finger at the middle of the Takeda army, and rushed forward to a general first, asking, "Who is this person?" is so brave, is it Li Xiao? ”
Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang glanced at it, and saw that the other party was holding a thick, wide and long knife, slashing in all directions between swings, and a piece of flesh and blood flew everywhere he passed, and the stumps were broken.
In front of him, the samurai of the river family was ashigaru, whether he stabbed out a spear or a sword, he was struck by this person with terrifying arm strength, split into two pieces or a knife.
Almost instantly, with the strength of one person, this person forcibly opened a gap in front of the heavily defended spear array of the Heshang army.
The sister Xiaolu generals on the side were speechless when they saw this, and one of them couldn't help but say: "There is such a fierce general in the world, it seems that this Li Xiao really deserves his reputation." ”
"No, it is rumored that Li Xiao is good at using guns, and the thick sword used by this person is obviously not Li Xiao's blade, it is obviously just one of his subordinates." Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang explained out loud.
Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang explained this, but it made the sisters Xiaolu family even more frightened, even one of his subordinates was brave like this, if Li Xiao himself came, it would be worth it.
Just when everyone was shocked, at this time, another swordsman in white came out of the Takeda army.
The reason why this person is said to be a sword hero is because the other party is not like a samurai, wearing armor all over his body, but wearing a white cotton suit, and a horse hakama with several folds on his lower body, and he does not wear straw sandals but clogs under the hakama skirt.
What's even more strange is that this person does not have ribs around his waist, but actually has two long-handled katanas on the left and one on the right, a total of four knives.
I saw that the other party was holding a sharp and long knife in both hands, his steps were light, and his body was erratic, and the long knife danced under the tossing and turning, and every time he fell, it seemed that there was an electric light in the middle of the day.
And in front of this person, whether it is the samurai of the Kawakami family or Ashigaru, no one is his opponent in one move, and after being hit by the sword, either blood splatters from the neck, or he pounces forward and falls to the ground.
When the blade of the sword is curled, the man throws the sword forward, and after killing another person, he instantly draws another katana from his waist and continues to swing it.
I saw that this swordsman became more and more excited the more he fought, and he had all kinds of unbelievable sword angles, but the same sword speed was incredibly fast, as if he didn't come into battle to win, but just to hone his sword skills with killing.
Only one knife is used to kill, such a terrifying swordsmanship that is only rumored to be seen alive in front of the generals of the sister Xiaolu family.
A general of the sister Xiaolu family, looking at this scene, said in a trembling voice: "Isn't it Li Xiao, just one of his subordinates?" ”
Sister Lu Lai Gang shook her head, and said in her heart, obviously the two generals who are so brave are indeed just Li Xiao's subordinates.
Li Xiao's Takeda Army, under the great power of the two peerless fierce men of Shima Katsu and Shigang Kazuha, entered the junction of the two armies of Kawagami and Ren in one go, and used the tactics of the central breakthrough to stir and kill in the opponent's formation.
Although the upper and lower levels of the river army made relatively stubborn resistance, they were still unable to withstand the wolf-like offensive of the Takeda army, and the formation was showing a situation of gradually becoming overwhelmed.
Li Xiao watched the overall situation from behind, and saw that the sister road army had already withdrawn most of the men and horses from Suwa Castle on the plateau, and its army was regrouping under the city.
Therefore, Li Xiao's Takeda army, if it can't defeat the current alliance on the river as soon as possible, will immediately face reinforcements from the sister Xiaolu family, and then it will fall into a bitter battle, or face the danger of defeat.
Therefore, Li Xiao made a quick decision and decided to go out in person and put the elite Ma Huizhong and as a reserve for the later examination.
With the rapid urging of the taiko drums, the general attack of the Takeda army began.
The flag bearer held aloft the flag seal of the moon and marched forward.
Li Xiao's name of bravery has long been famous in the Kanto region, and at this moment, Li Xiao, as a general, is on the front line.
Seeing Li Xiao's figure of carrying a gun and straddle a horse appear in the formation, the morale of the Takeda army was boosted, and the whole army erupted with an earth-shattering shouting and killing sound, and the offensive instantly strengthened again.
In addition to Li Xiao's standing reserves, at the same time, the Masabo team, the Nishina team, and the Takasaka team also made efforts at the same time.
Li Xiao nodded quite smugly when he saw this scene, it seems that this is a concrete embodiment of his high 'commanding power', and it can also increase the morale of the whole army.
"Drive!"
Li Xiao's legs clamped the belly of the 'black forging' horse, the black forging carried Li Xiao, and the four hooves galloped up, the black forging was not inferior to the previous chestnut horse, and the speed and instant explosiveness were better, which made Li Xiao really like a tiger.
Li Xiao took the lead, and the horses behind him followed, the mother's clothes behind him were like a bulging package, fluttering behind him, and behind the cavalry were dozens of spears, running wildly with their guns and relaying with the mother's clothes.
Li Xiao found the weakest point in the formation of the coalition army on the river, and then urged the horse to gallop with a spear in his hand.
In a short period of time, the black forging burst out with the speed of lightning and lightning, causing Li Xiao to kill in front of the enemy almost instantly, catching the other party off guard.
The same black forging shook off Li Xiao's mother-clothed horses far behind.
And those mothers saw that the lord was alone and killed into the enemy's formation, for fear that Li Xiao would make a mistake, so they hurriedly whipped their horses in shame, hoping to catch up with the guards on the side immediately.
But their worries are clearly unfounded.
When Li Xiao drove the black forging to kill, he set off a furious surge in the formation of the army on the river.
Fierce fighting continued.
The Sisters' Paths had finally regrouped their siege forces, but at this time they had no need to support the River Army.
What the father and son of Sister Koji Yoyori and Sister Koji Yoritsuna saw was the River Army that fled all over the mountains and was defeated by the Takeda Army.
The head of the head of the Kawagami family, Toshinobu Kawagami, was directly taken by Masabo Masafu, another member of the Takeda family.
The generals of the mountain sister Xiaolu family were dumbfounded, and now in a battle, he couldn't help but have this thought, if the Takeda army under the command of Takeda Shingen is such a combat force, I am afraid that Uesugi Kenshin is really in trouble, and the Takeda family will not have to fight so hard in the four battles of Kawanakajima.
In particular, the performance of Li Xiao, the general of the enemy army, made him even more dumbfounded, one person and one horse into the army on the river, as if entering a no-man's land, and it was really worthy of the name under the fame, so that everyone couldn't help but give birth to the idea of black forging among horses and Li Xiao among people.
As a result of this battle, the Kawagami coalition was completely defeated by the Takeda army.
