Chapter 321: Frontal Defeat

When Li Xiao looked at it from the monocular Qianli tube, he saw that the Kano family's army was separated from the front, and the flank of the detour flag was ready to attack.

Seeing the movement of the Kano army, Li Xiao understood that the enemy's main attack on his right flank was not a coincidence, but deliberate.

The purpose of the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition from the beginning was to make a detour and carry out a flanking attack.

Li Xiao's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he thought that he really underestimated the wisdom of the ancients, and the flaws in this iron cannon phalanx were really peeped through by the generals of the enemy army.

At this time, the Kano army was dispatched in a roundabout way, and it had joined up with the previous cavalry team, and slowly approached the flank of the banner.

At the bottom of the hillside, two six-pounder guns, which had just been fired, were cleared, and the porter reloaded the shells into the muzzles.

"Aim at the enemy cavalry"

Re-ranging

"Lower the gun"

"Done"

"Done"

The commander of the two six-pounder guns reported back to Rui Costa.

Rui Costa put down the monocular and spoke loudly.

"Fire"

Knock knock

The shell made two arcs and smashed heavily into the phalanx of the Vietnamese and Chinese coalition cavalry.

The cannonball that hit the first hit directly smashed the leg of the current horseback warrior warhorse, and the cannonball rolled down, which frightened the horses in the horseback team.

Many horses are not controlled by the rider and run around with their hooves.

There was a commotion in the phalanx of the cavalry, and several warriors rolled off their saddles and were trampled by the frightened horses.

However, the commotion of the cavalry was only temporary, and then the Kano family's military momentum was pressed on the flag board.

On the side of the banner, the iron cannon on the two wings of the front was lined up, and the iron cannon salvo was fired, pushing the coalition army forward to the reserve of Terashima Jobada, and the fight was unable to advance.

However, for the attack of the enemy on the flank, the iron artillery team could not turn to shoot.

It can only be protected by the Bowfoot Light Team and the Gun Light Team.

The Kano army took advantage of the situation to attack the flank of the flag moto, and the Takeda army was led by Fujido Takatora to meet the battle.

After the Kano army approached the distance of thirty rooms, Fujido Takatora first greeted him with an attack arrow.

The Kano army also responded with bows and arrows.

Since neither army was armed with shields and did not lay up shields, the lethality of bows and arrows was considerable.

Several rounds of bows and arrows were fired at each other, and each other was reduced by dozens of people.

However, at this time, after a few rounds of bowing and shooting, they had lost their strength and could no longer continue to shoot arrows.

Rao is the Takeda Army's standing bow and foot light, and he trains more on weekdays, and he shoots two more rounds than the opponent.

Neither bows nor arrows nor iron cannons can defeat the enemy, and the real difference between victory and defeat depends on white-knuckle combat.

Therefore, after the Kano army retreated, the flag seal of the general began to press forward, and rows of spears and spears poured up from the rear.

At this moment, in the eyes of Fujido Takatora, the face of the enemy Ashigaru has clearly appeared in his eyes, and he did not hesitate to wave the spear in his hand and shouted loudly: "Kill"

With the shouting of Fujitang Gaohu, the Takeda Army's spear phalanx also neatly put down the spear.

The Takeda Army's footlight marched in a neat pace, like a huge beast covered in spikes, advancing forward.

At this time, the gunashigaru of the Kano army began to speed up and trot, and together they attacked the formation of the Takeda army.

At the moment when the Kano Army burst in.

At this time, the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition army made another move, and Ishiguro Chenggang, the lord of the third road reserve of Muzhou City, led the headquarters reserve to make a detour on the right flank.

At this time, not only Li Xiao, but also Usami Nami, who was in the flag of the flag, and Shioka Kazuyu were also surprised.

The intention of the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition was obvious, that is, to attract the fire of the Takeda Army's frontal iron artillery team with Terashima Job, and then use the forces of Kano and Ishiguro to make a detour and attack the flank of the banner.

In the face of the flank attack of the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition forces, Usami Nami's brows furrowed, and she said loudly: "In this case, there is no need to hold the position anymore, and move forward to break the current Terashima army." ”

Shi Gang Yiyu's face sank, and he said: "However, the lord's order is for me to stick to this formation. If you attack without authorization, the rear flank will be more vulnerable to enemy attacks. ”

Usami shook her head and said: "It's useless, stick to the position, you can only wait for the result of the enemy army breaking through the flank of our army, now we can only seek change, if we defeat the enemy front first, then we can bring the situation back to the balance." ”

Shigang Yiyu shook his head resolutely and said, "No, this is the lord's order, and you can't disobey it." ”

Usami Nami glanced at Shioka Kazuha and said, "My lord, I have been granted the right to be arbitrary, so if you have any objections, although you will return to the lord, my decision will not be changed."

Shioka Kazuha snorted coldly, he didn't expect that Usami Nami, who has always been taciturn and doesn't argue with others, was so resolute after making up his mind, which surprised him. ,

However, Shioka Kazuha still said: "Usami-sama, do you know that if you disobey the lord's order like this, even if you win, there is only one way to seppuku, do you still have to do it?" ”

Usami Nami smiled indifferently and said, "When I was in Biwa Island Castle, I had already died once, don't worry, Shioka-sama, I still want to see the day before Uesugi Terutora bowed down to the main stallion." If I win, my lord will never blame me. ”

Seeing that Usami Nami insisted, Shioka Kazuha was also the only way to execute.

The pikes in the center, the iron artillery teams on both flanks retreated first, even though Usami issued an order to the pikemen to attack.

At that moment, the pikemen team was facing the front, and the Terashima Okadari army, which had been crushed by the iron cannon bombardment, was killed.

At this time, an envoy galloped up the mountain, and after coming to Li Xiao, he turned over and knelt down to report: "Lord, our army has continuously defeated three reserves of the enemy in front. ”

At this time, another envoy came up the mountain and reported to Li Xiaoyu: "My lord, Lord Kinoshita, let me report that Snake Tail Bei has defeated the Kikuchi Takekatsu army of Ao Castle, and is now storming the Zhang main formation of the Shenbao clan. Kinoshita-sama said that as long as he was given a little more time, he would be able to capture the main camp of the Jimbo Army. ”

After the two envoys returned, the generals under Li Xiao were all in high spirits.

In fact, needless to say, they had already seen the whole battle from the hillside.

Kamioka Bei in the center of the left flank of the Takeda Army, and the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition forces in front of the Snake Tail Bei were retreating one after another, and the battle line almost collapsed.

The reason for this is because the flag is ready to cover their flanks, so the two reserves can concentrate on the enemy in front of them without distractions and give full play to the maximum power of the western phalanx.

At present, the total rout of the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition forces has emerged.

In the face of this, the generals of the Takeda Army were happy on all sides, but Li Xiao was careless, and said: "If the right wing can continue to support, then victory is already in my hands." ”

Thinking of this, Li Xiao stood up at the moment and said loudly: "Order the reserve to go out of the battle, and you must support the flank of the flag and not let it collapse." ”

oh

After agreeing loudly, he immediately went to give the order.

In fact, the battle situation was just as Li Xiao feared, the Takeda Army was pressing in the center of the left flank, but the flag in the direction of the right flank was really close to the brink of collapse.

After Usami Nami ordered the central spear phalanx to attack, only Fujido Takatora led less than 400 troops, and the fierce attack of the two armies of Ishiguro and Kano was defeated.

In the battle formation, Fujitang Gaohu held a big gun, rushing left and right, and his height of 1.9 meters was particularly eye-catching.

Although he was very young, neither the Takeda Army nor the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition forces on the opposite side underestimated this tall man.

Today, in the hands of Fujido Takatora alone, there are no less than seven or eight enemy samurai, not to mention ordinary ashigaru who died under his spear.

In the face of such a killing god, the samurai of the two armies of Ishiguro and Kano were all afraid, so although the forces occupied an absolute advantage, under the combined efforts of the two families, it was impossible to defeat the Takeda army in front of them.

However, no matter how good he is, Fujido Gaohu only has the strength of one person, and at this moment in the battle, he is already out of strength, and he barely stabs an enemy soldier with another shot.

He was out of breath with a spear in his hand, but in this cold and unguarded, his right leg was stabbed by the opponent's foot light again.

Fujido Gaohu sat on the ground with his butt and couldn't get up.

Fortunately, several Takeda soldiers, who were usually good friends, fought hard to protect him, otherwise his dignified head would have been picked on the spear by the enemy.

It seems that thinking of this moment, Fujitang Gaohu's face showed a wry smile, and he thought in his heart that if there was no injury on his foot, he would have fled here alone just now, anyway, as long as he ran for his life, no one could stop him, and it was a big deal to change to a famous family, and saving his life was all hope.

But now that his legs and feet can't move anymore, and he can't run away neatly, do you want to die here?

Just as Fujitang Gaohu was thinking so, at this time, a person next to him said lightly: "My lord, you see that it is cavalry, coming towards our army's position." ”

For a moment, Fujitang Gaohu still thought that reinforcements were coming, but after seeing the flag behind the opponent, he realized that it was the horseback team of the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition army that had fought back.

The battle situation has deteriorated to this point, and if the opponent's cavalry team attacks it like this, the battle will be immediately clear.

Fujido Takatora smiled bitterly, and just as the enemy cavalry was about to approach the Takeda army, a row of bows and arrows suddenly shot at the horse, shooting several horseback warriors at the head of the opponent off their horses. ,

Fujitang Gaohu was overjoyed in his heart, and when he looked at it, a red Takeda Lingqi pointed to something, and jumped into his eyes.

"It's the horseback riding team of the family"

Fujido Takatora couldn't help but let out a loud shout, and got up with the help of a ashigaru.

"I know that my luck is not so bad, my Fujitang Gaohu will become a million-stone daimyo in the future, where will it be so easy for martial arts to end here."

Fujido Takatora said this with a high-spirited and confident expression, and in response to his words, with the appearance of the cavalry team, the reserve forces of the Takeda army also appeared behind the flank of the Kano army, and began to attack the enemy army.

At the same time, the sound of killing came from the side.

It turned out that Usami Nami's spearhead team, which had already defeated the current Terashima Jobada, now turned around to help the Fujido Takators, and in turn flanked Kano and Ishiguro's army.

The flanking attack of these three armies suddenly caused the two armies of Kano and Ishiguro to shift from offense to defense.

And at this moment, there was another huge noise from the left flank, in the direction of the central front.

The general of the Jimbo clan, Zhang, was put down, and the thousands of samurai of the Vietnamese-Chinese coalition army, Ashigaru, were defeated in front of Kamioka and were defeated.

The Vietnamese-Chinese coalition forces collapsed.
