Just as Li Xiao and Hojo Tsunashi were fighting to the last moment, a trace of determination flashed in Hojo Tsunashi's eyes.

Li Xiao shouted, and shook his head as if he was entangled in a snake, pressing the body of Hojo Tsunari's gun straight through the opponent's chest. By the time Hojo Tsunari was about to dodge, it was too late. The three guns in Li Xiao's hand slipped and suddenly stabbed him in the right thigh.

At this moment of lightning, all the generals of the Hojo family stood up with a bang, and the head of the Hojo family, Hojo Shiyasu, who had been sitting on the main seat and watching the battle without moving, couldn't help but shake lightly with his hand holding the juniper fan at this moment.

At the same time, at this moment, a general of the Hojo family walked in from outside the curtain and whispered a few words in the ear of the Hojo clan.

Hojo Tsunari was stabbed by Li Xiao, and he was beaten straight to the body, if he was replaced with a gun barrel equipped with a gun head, Hojo Tsunari would have been bleeding like a fountain in his right leg next to this blow.

But Hojo Tsunari was stimulated by this, which inspired the courage in his surname. I saw that his big gun was horizontal, and with a bang, he opened Li Xiao's gun, his body suddenly took a few steps, and he waved the spear in his hand towards Li Xiao, and actually attacked the gun circle of Li Xiao's three guns for the first time in the competition.

Takeda Shinlian, who was watching the battle, looked a little blue, in this spear competition, in fact, Hojo Tsunashi had already lost a move, but he continued to fight like this, obviously not wanting to admit defeat. But in fact, there is no enough reason to blame Hojo Tsunari, after all, the right thigh is not a vital point, and no one can judge that because he was injured here, he can't fight anymore.

Those who use long-distance weapons such as big guns are most afraid of being attacked in the circle, especially long weapons such as three guns. This scene is as if a million troops are outside, and the main general's Chinese army tent has been robbed.

Watching Hojo Tsunari's spear stab Li Xiao's right rib directly, this was Li Xiao's most dangerous moment. If he was stabbed in the ribs by Hojo Tsunari, Hojo Tsunari would not only not lose in this competition, but would win this one.

But at this moment, Li Xiao actually put the big gun back and blocked Hojo Tsunari's shot.

When Li Xiao learned the big bar gun at the beginning, the old cadre told him that the most authentic big bar marksmanship basic tricks, only three actions are 'blocking, taking, and piercing', as for picking, picking, collapsing, rolling, smashing, winding, racking, frustration, and blocking, they evolved from these three actions.

Blocking is to stop the enemy's gun attack, take it to stop the opponent's gun and press down, piercing is the last straight stab!

A real marksmanship fights with his opponent, and every shot he attacks contains the three actions of 'blocking, taking, and piercing', which contains both attack and defense.

Similarly, on the battlefield, if you stab the enemy with a gun, it is not a time to rejoice, you must quickly draw the tip of the gun, and who knows if the enemy will grab your gun before the moment, so that your companions will have a chance to kill you.

At the last moment, Li Xiao withdrew the three guns and fired another shot at Hojo Tsunari. As mentioned, this shot contains the three actions of 'blocking, taking, and piercing', which not only intercepted Hojo Tsunari's attack on him, but also took advantage of the pressure and quickly turned defense into offense, and once again forced the opponent out of Li Xiao's gun circle.

Hojo Tsunari's initiative, which was so easy to retract, suddenly came to naught.

"Stop."

Hojo pressed the juniper fan in his hand down, and loudly stopped the two of them from continuing the competition.

The generals of the Takeda family scolded in their hearts, isn't this clearly a lie? The dignified Hojo clan saw that his number one fierce general was about to be defeated, and he actually stopped the competition at this moment, which is too despicable, and curses you for having a child without an asshole.

Li Xiao and Hojo Tsunade stuck the guns in their hands on the ground, each panting and sweating profusely.

Hojo Shiyasu slowly stood up, walked to the center of the competition venue, glanced at the generals of the Hojo family Takeda family present from left to right, and said in a deep voice: "I just received a secret report from the ninjas, and just yesterday Echigo Uesugi Terutora sent troops from the spring mountain castle. ”

"What?"

"Uesugi Terutora sent troops?"

"Where is Uesugi Teruto's goal?"

The generals of the Hojo family and the Takeda family asked one after another after hearing the words, leaving behind the matter of Li Xiao and Hojo Tsunari's martial arts competition.

Hojo Shiyasu said slowly: "The final destination is not clear now, but it is very likely that Uesugi Terutora is going to pass through Ueno Province to relieve the siege of Matsuyama Castle. ”

Hearing the news that Kenshin Uesugi was once again in the Kanto region, both the Takeda family and the Hojo family immediately ended the banquet.

The next time, the Hojo family had clearly sent news that in view of the departure of Uesugi Kenshin, they were ready to remove the siege of Matsuyama Castle and collect their troops back to Odawara Castle.

Hearing this news, the Takeda Army immediately convened a military meeting.

In the military tent, Takeda Nobuyoshi was still wearing the armor of a general like Takeda Shingen, sitting on the Mazha in the center, and the folding fan in his hand was the original picture of Yushan ink and bamboo, and there was also the poem of Su Dongpo that Li Xiao gave him.

Since Takeda Nobuhiro lived in seclusion, Takeda Nobuyoru has become the head of the Takeda family, and his position and voice in the Takeda family are only under Shingen. However, Takeda Nobuyoshi himself did not put his mind on this way, and Takeda Nobuyoshi usually looked more like a cultural person who was keen on painting, and he also spent most of his life composing waka songs, chanting poems, dancing and dancing with others, and watching Noh plays.

This is the most ordinary life for him, but as a military general, commanding the whole army, he is also quite good, so this time he is not only a shadow warrior, but also as a general to decide this military discussion.

However, the Takeda family has always adopted the retainers' collegial system, and although Takeda Nobuyoshi and even Takeda Shingen himself can lead the process and outcome of the military council, they generally adopt an attitude of acceptance of the conclusion of the final retainers' collegiate meeting.

Now in the military tent, in addition to Takeda Nobuyobu, the highest status belongs to the eldest son of the Takeda family, Taro Takeda Yoshinobu, who is not only the identity of the son-in-law, but also the generation of the formation, and the status in the army is only that of Takeda Nobuyo.

Under Takeda Yoshinobu, it is the Takeda family tree retainer like Nobuaki Tsubabe.

The commanders of the other reserves, such as Takeda Katsuyori, Kohata Kenshige, Kiso Yoshimasa, and Sanada Nobutsuna, each sat on the maza in order.

The rest are Tsuchiya Shoji, Mieda Mamotomo, Saone Masayo, Suwa Manko, Kohata Nobusada, Hoshina Masatoshi, and Li Xiao are also listening below as 'spectators', generally speaking, they just need to have their ears with them, they don't have the right to decide, and they don't even have the right to speak when no one asks you.

However, Yamamoto Kansuke has a special status, as Takeda Shingen's former military advisor, he still has the status of a military advisor and has the right to suggest the discussion of the military council.

At the beginning of the military discussion, the generals of the Takeda family first collectively despised the Hojo family's fear of the enemy like a tiger, it seems that the Hojo family has been beaten by Uesugi Kenshin since the Battle of Odawara, and they don't even have the courage to fight with the Echigo army. The army of 16,000 did not even see the flag of Uesugi Kenshin, so he did not hesitate to prepare to roll up and leave.

The next content of the military discussion is, now that the Hojo family is gone, what should we do with the 3,000 troops of the Takeda family.

It is said that Uesugi Kenshin did not mobilize his troops this time, so the Takeda family's Hojo family was a step slower to react in Echigo's Hosasaku. But this also shows that Uesugi Kenshin definitely does not have many troops on hand.

According to the report of the Togakure ninja who listened to the information of the Takeda family in Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin sent troops from Harumayama Castle this time, and it seems that he brought less than 5,000 troops with him.
