Chapter 260: Famous Generals Seek It

As the strong Eda family, he also had the ambition of fighting for a city and a country after he had a unified Hida before.

But at this moment, after seeing Echigo's strong army, his dream was a little hit, and the Uesugi army was so brave.

Jiangma Huisheng shook his head, and threw the thought out of his mind, it is good that the Echigo army is too strong, but the soldiers of the Jiangma army are not weak, and in recent years, with the support of Shengang Yinshan, he has also trained a good army, not to mention that he still occupies an absolute advantage in terms of strength.

Edama Fraser analyzed that the current battle situation is unfavorable, mainly because Yataro Kojima is too brave, and several famous samurai of the family have been taken by the other party, which is too bad for morale.

Jiangma Huisheng's face showed a hint of fierceness at this moment, pointed to the fighting Onikojima Yataro, and shouted: "Whoever kills this person for me will be rewarded with three hundred guan, and Ashigaru will be promoted to samurai, and samurai will be the elder of the family." ”

Jiangma Huisheng drank like this, and the warriors of the Jiangma family suddenly turned red.

During the Warring States period, the word 'ghost' or 'tiger' was added in front of the name to describe powerful generals.

Yataro Kojima is fighting today, and he is worthy of the name of 'Oni Kojima Yataro'.

"I, Yataro Kojima, have been through a hundred battles, big and small, and I want to see who can claim my head, and as a martial artist, I have already come to my senses."

Yataro Kojima rode his horse and cut down a samurai of the Efma family, and the majestic figure suddenly frightened the Eima family with spears around them, and they retreated.

At this moment, a cold arrow came and hit his horse in the eye socket.

The mount was hit by an arrow in the head, and immediately screamed wildly, and the man stood up and threw Yataro Kojima out of the way.

At this time, the ashigaru members of the Eima family saw Kojima Yataro in distress, remembered the rich reward, and immediately rushed up together, rushing to cut off his head.

However, at this moment, where Yataro Kojima landed, a cold light flashed, and a Eima family ashigaru was directly cut in half by Yataro Kojima, who rolled over.

However, there was still a spear that stabbed and hit the left arm of Yataro Onitajima, but fortunately it was blocked by the big armor and was not deeply assassinated.

Yataro Onikojima then roared, swept the Jiangma family who injured him, and directly slashed him to the ground.

Yataro Kojima's armor was dripping with blood, and there was human flesh and blood hanging on the shoji board on his chest, and the whole person was like a demon.

He gasped for breath on his lips, there were a few feather arrows stuck in his big sleeves, and he was also stabbed by a spear on the side of his thigh, but he didn't realize it, and he looked left and right and shouted loudly: "The samurai who wants my head of Uncle Oni Kojima, come and fight with me." ”

Jiang Ma Jun saw that Yataro Kojima had countless injuries all over his body, but he was still so brave, and his heart was secretly hairy.

When the Hachimoto samurai of Echigo saw that the lord was so brave, they fought bravely regardless of life and death.

Immediately, in the Jiangma army, the sound of fighting became more and more fierce.

And on the other side, Li Xiaojun's right flank.

Under the banner of a three-star character, Yasuda Nomoto, the general of the Uesugi family, led the head of the headquarters to spear and light the phalanx, and stormed Kamioka Bei on Li Xiao's right flank.

The Yasuda clan is descended from Oe's Hiromoto, so like the famous Maori family, they all use the family crest of one character and three stars.

The Uesugi family's spears that came like a black torrent advanced step by step with three spears, and the same spear formation was organized on the side of the snake tail to fight.

The two armies were divided into groups of forty or fifty men with three spears each, and they were killed at a distance of more than two chambers.

The three guns of the outer bamboo and the inner solid wood showed good tenacity in the air, drawing one trajectory after another, stabbing, provoking, and striking.

There was a sonorous sound of wood and bamboo colliding on the field.

Under the iron-clad hats, the ashigaru people looked solemnly, staring only at their spears in their hands. They were half sideways, people next to each other, and the formation was very compact, so that the maximum density of the gun formation could be brought into play.

There is only one movement in the hand of the spear, which is to take out the gun and collect the gun, and the left and right feet are straddling one after the other, making lunges and assassinations from time to time, and jumping backwards.

In this kind of gun battle, it is generally a group of three, one person is responsible for assassination, one person is responsible for defending against the opponent's spear, and the other person holds a spear high and picks it up from a high place to volley.

This kind of gun formation mainly relies on cooperation and trust between peers, and has little to do with personal martial arts.

The snake tail was formed for less than half a year, and although most of the recruits were selected from the peasant soldiers with superb martial arts and strong physique, the corresponding salary was not low, and good quality soldiers could be recruited.

But after all, the formation of the army was too short, the training was insufficient, and in the dense gun formations of the two sides, there was a lack of coordination, and the whole army lacked the momentum of twisting into a ball.

On the other hand, Yasuda's Ashigaru is mostly recruited from his own family, and they are neighbors to each other, often fathers and sons, brothers, and the same clan go into battle together, and the ashigaru have fought for the Uesugi family for generations, so both the tacit understanding of courage and cooperation, and the overall surname are stronger than the snake's tail.

Kinoshita Koichiro is also very hard at commanding, but he is not from a samurai family, and he and Kinoshita Toyoshiro's father are only a light thing, so he has little experience in commanding.

On the battlefield where the two armies are fighting, each other is stabbing each other one by one, and the three guns prepared by Li Xiao are dyed vermilion with vermilion lacquer.

The price of vermilion lacquer is expensive, and Li Xiao's move is quite wealthy.

But money is not equal to combat power, it still has to rely on power to speak, under the command of Yasuda Nomoto, a fierce general in Echigo, the snake tail Bei gradually could not support it.

In the assassination battle in which the spears of the two sides were opposed, the Takeda Army's Ashigaru was constantly shot in the open space in the center, lying on the ground.

The snake tail was no longer able to hold on, and the front that was originally prominent in Kamioka had been beaten back and suppressed, and gradually parallel to Kamioka Bei.

Not only on Li Xiao's position, but also on the positions of Kaga Ichijo and Echichu Ichijomune, the Uesugi army was stimulated by something, and launched a round of fierce attacks on the two.

On the main battlefield of Honganji Temple, the position that was easy to maintain just now because of Li Xiao's reinforcement was actually beaten by the Uesugi army here and could not be stabilized.

Although the Uesugi army transferred some of its forces and turned back to meet Li Xiaojun, who was attacking the flank, with the remaining men and horses, they still fought against Honganji.

The two sides were evenly matched, and the Uesugi army even surpassed them.

On the battlefield, the samurai of the Uesugi army were ashigaru, and they all had red eyes and rushed to kill.

Several generals of the Uesugi family, such as Murakami Kunikiyo and Kamijo Masashiro, are even more desperate, risking arrows and iron cannon sniping, and they are not enough to supervise the battle, and from time to time they rush to the front line to fight, seeing that they are willing to confess themselves in front of the battle.

Honganji Xuanzong, Shimoma Laizhao, and monks, monks and soldiers have seen such a deadly style of fighting, ferocious attacks, and more fanatical fighting spirit than the disciples.

They only knew how to use amulets to deceive their disciples by saying nonsense such as 'those who advance will be reborn in bliss, and those who retreat will be infernal hells', but the Uesugi army seems to have no need for any of them, as long as Uesugi Kenshin gives an order, they can go up the sword mountain and go to the sea of fire.

"Could it be that Uesugi Kenshin is really the embodiment of Bishamonten. This is how we mortals resist. ”

This thought flashed through the minds of all the people of Honganji, and then they looked at the main camp of the Uesugi army on the hillside, hunting the fluttering banner of the character 'Bi', and their hearts were filled with awe.

Li Xiao was riding on the black forging at the moment, and he was also staring at this big banner with the word 'Bi'.

He already saw the passive situation of the two wings.

On the left flank of the Eima Phospor Army, if it weren't for Kojima Yataro's banner-based cavalry, most of which were killed by their own iron artillery team, the current Eima family's position would have collapsed long ago.

But despite this, the Jiangma army also fell into a bitter battle, and Kojima Yataro's bravery, even Li Xiao, as an enemy, felt admiration.

On the right flank, the snaketail was even tighter, and one of the spear light groups had already been routed by the Uesugi army, and the rest were also in danger.

Today, it is said that the Uesugi Banner's army is brave and good at fighting, and Li Xiao has seen enough that except for his own Kamioka Bei, who can take it into battle, there is no army on the field today that can match the Uesugi Banner's own army.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao was not only embarrassed, but what he said at the beginning to defeat the Uesugi family through a joint battle now seems to be a complete joke.

Uesugi Kenshin has not yet mobilized Echigo's army.

With only 2,000 people, he defeated the 80,000 army of Honganji, and now with 2,000 people, he defeated Li Xiao, Kaga, and Yuezhong with one to three.

Don't mention anything about Baigen Mountain in the future, the Chinese men's football team also defeated the world champion French team that year.

On the battlefield, judging by victory or defeat is purely a layman's opinion.

"Uesugi Terutora is really a famous player today." Li Xiao sighed and said.

"Lord, after half a day of fierce fighting, the Uesugi army should be very tired, although it is becoming more and more brave at the moment, but this is definitely overdrawing physical strength, and the offensive will not last long."

Li Xiao's side, Usami Nami, spoke up.

Li Xiao turned his head to look at the other party in surprise, this person actually coincided with himself.

Usami Nami stared at the battle situation on the field and said: "Lord, at the moment, Kamioka Bei must not move, we must wait until the morale of the Uesugi army is exhausted, and then put Kamioka Bei into a counterattack, this is our only chance to win this battle!" ”

Li Xiao was indifferent, hiding the surprise in his heart, and said calmly: "But the right wing of our army can no longer support it, if we don't send troops to rescue, the right wing collapses, and there is no point in my Shengang Bei reinvesting." ”

Usami frowned and pondered, and said: "Lord, the reason why we are passive on the battlefield at the moment is largely because we are suppressed by the momentum of the Uesugi army, so we must find a way to frustrate the morale of the Uesugi army in front of us, so as to slow down the situation of the battle." ”

"Very insightful view," Mr. Li said.

At this moment, Li Xiao and Usami Minami both looked at Yataro Onishima, who was clashing in the formation of the Hippo Army on the left flank.

Onikojima Yataro swung his naginata and once again killed several samurai who had come up to fight with the Eima Army.

At present, with his strength alone, the military strength of the Jiangma Army is almost directly penetrated by the more than a dozen Echigo banners led by him.

Now his eyes are firmly fixed on Jiangma Huisheng, as long as he kills this person again, the Jiangma army's front will completely collapse.

Ghost Kojima Yataro raised the naginata with the blade dripping blood, and drank towards the position of Eima Huisheng and said, "Eima-sama, dare to fight with my Kojima Yataro." ”

Edoma Fraser looked left and right, and the samurai with high martial arts under his command had almost been killed by Yataro Kojima.

Except for Ashigaru who was afraid to step forward, there was no one around him to step forward to fight.

In this case, facing a cavalry fight, not fighting would definitely be regarded as the cowardice of the samurai, and Eima Huisheng could not afford this disgraceful reputation in front of his subordinates.

Jiangma Huisheng stiffened his head and was about to agree, when a voice said: "Lord Kojima, how about I please be your opponent?" ”

Jiangma Huisheng had a sense of survival in his heart, and when he looked at the person who came forward to take over the challenge for himself, it was Li Xiaomu's pen master Oka Yiyu.

In this blood-stained battlefield, Shigang was spotless, wearing a neat white plain jacket, four famous knives hanging from his waist at the same time, and his hands on his chest.

"Who is Your Excellency?" Yataro Kojima asked loudly.

Shioka Yiyu gently patted him on the shoulder, the sleeve printed with the bellflower family pattern, and said indifferently: "Toki family, Shigang Yiyu." ”

"Shioka Kazuha," Yataro Kojima nodded, and said, "I've heard of you, you are a peerless swordsman, and in that case, it is not a disgrace for me to give you the head." ”

Shioka Kazuha looked at Yataro Kojima's tall and burly body, dripping with blood, and said solemnly: "It's the same below, I'm deeply honored." ”

After speaking, Shigang Yiyu took out the scabbard and pressed his right hand lightly on the hilt, which is the starting style of the sword drawing technique.

Yataro Onikojima took a deep breath and said loudly, "My lord, if there is an afterlife, I will repay you again!" ”

After speaking, Ghost Kojima Yataro waved his naginata knife and slashed directly at Shioka Ichiha.

In front of each other, the two swords and lights are staggered.

Li Xiao's eyes were closed, at this moment he was calm on the surface, but in his heart it was like a giant drum beating, banging and banging.

There should be news at this point.

Li Xiao said silently in his heart.

At this time, there was a sudden commotion from the left flank direction, Li Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and said in his heart, there is a result.

Sure enough, loud cheers shouted from the side of the Jiangma Army.

"Echigo General Onikojima Yataro begging!"

"Yataro Onitari begging for it!"

As soon as the voice came out, shock, fear, joy, dazedness, panic, and excitement appeared on the expressions of every soldier of the two armies of Takeda and Uesugi.

At this time, Li Xiao struck the horsewhip down heavily and shouted, "Shengang is ready to attack!" ”

Dao Shengmeng, who had been gathering momentum for a long time, received Li Xiao's order and smiled slightly, and then this smile flashed away.

Shimakatsu pulled out his sword and shouted, "Kamioka is ready to fight!" ”

"Oh!"

Rulin's three spears stood tall, and a phalanx of spears with Takeda Ling was inserted, advancing forward.

The Takeda Army's counteroffensive begins!

And Li Xiao rode on the black forging, and with a whip of the horse, he led more than 20 horsemen to ride the mother's clothes, and cooperated with Shengang Bei and Snake Tail Bei to attack the Shangshan army in front of him from three sides.

Now is a decisive battle, and when it comes to throwing all your strength, you must crush the Uesugi army without reservation.

So even Li Xiao, as the chief general, is going into battle.

Li Xiao thought so in his heart, and frantically urged the black forging to gallop forward. At this moment, a cavalry team with the banner of the word 'Bi' was also facing its own direction, and it was volleying head-on.

"Could it be that Uesugi Jun has seen through my intentions?"

Li Xiao was taken aback, at this moment he looked at the other party, and saw the other party's leading general, with a bowl scroll wrapped around his head, holding a ten-character spear, driving a war horse, and coming towards him.

"Uesugi Teruto!" Li Xiao immediately recognized the figure on horseback.

And the other party also used a ten-character big gun, pointed in his direction, and shouted: "Li Xiao! Do you dare me to fight? ”

Suddenly, at the end of the battlefield, when the victory was about to be decided, Li Xiao, the commander-in-chief of the two armies, and Uesugi Kenshin met at this moment.
