And on top of the facts, the northern defense line of the Oda Army only collapsed within an hour-

Just when Takigawa Kazuyi, Niwa Nagahide, and Ikeda Tsuneko abandoned the Chamoyama position, crossed the Rengo River, and came to the aid of Sakuma Nobumori's team, Li Xiao's five standing guards suddenly moved from the back, bypassing Shimakatsu's fierce force, and came in front of them.

Although Takigawa Kazuki, Niwa Nagahide, and Ikeda Hengxing were reminded by Shibata Katsuya in advance that Li Xiao's formation was strong, they didn't take it too seriously, after all, in the battle of Kaga, the combination of Yushiba Hideyoshi and Akechi Mitsuhide did not repel Li Xiao's army from the front.

Takigawa Kazuki thinks that he is also an important minister of Nobunaga, and he is not inferior to Hashiba Hideyoshi, and wise Mitsuhide is a little bit.

And in his mind, Shibata Katsuya deliberately exaggerated the strength of Li Xiaoxi's national phalanx, just to make excuses for his failure under Kajida Castle.

Shibata Katsuya is very proud, but when he fought against the Takeda army, he underestimated the enemy for a while, and he was defeated.

What's more, he didn't want to be on a par with Li Xiao's army, but just wanted to save Sakuma Nobumori's team and then retreat to the Chaji Mountain position.

The advantage of the Oda army in this battle was already obvious, and their task was not to defeat Li Xiao's army, but to maintain the current stalemate until the main army of the family broke through the central army of the Takeda family.

So none of them wanted to fight Li Xiao.

In reality, however, the plan has not kept up with the changes.

As soon as the three generals of the Oda family broke away from the Chaji Mountain position, Li Xiao had no intention of letting them go back.

This is also the reason why Li Xiao has not mobilized the standing reserve before, his purpose is to lure the Oda army to aid Sakuma Nobumori, and give up the strong position, and then use the powerful field ability of the western phalanx to compete with the Oda army on the plain.

The Western Phalanx is a weapon for a decisive battle, but in terms of attacking a fortified position, it is helpless.

Therefore, Li Xiaozheng was going to have a field battle and use his western phalanx to sweep the main force of the Oda army.

As soon as he realized Takigawa Kazuki's intention to go down the mountain, Li Xiao immediately ordered the three major reserves of Kamioka, Snake Tail, and Flag to detour past the warbands of Maruyama Shimoshima Katsu Mino and Sakuma Nobumori.

Outflanking the left flank of the Oda Army, which came down the mountain to rescue.

At the same time, Li Xiao mobilized the sun and moon of Tsuchiya Masahiro, and at the moment when the main force of the Oda army went down the mountain, seven hundred cavalry rushed through, cutting off Takigawa Yiyi and their retreat in one fell swoop. update

So when Takigawa Ichiyi and they had just crossed the Rengo River, Maeda Keiji's three hundred cavalry had just rescued Sakuma Nobumori from Shimakatsu's hands.

Their back route, Li Xiao's Sun and Moon Reserve Cavalry, had cut off their access back to Chaji Mountain.

The Mino people in front of the island Katsu fierce, but stopped the pursuit and retreated back to Maruyama to hold on.

At this time, on their flank, on the plain under Maruyama, the three major reserves of Li Xiaoshengang, Snake Tail, and Qimoto went out to fight.

The north side of Maruyama, near the Dezusawa Bridge.

In history, after the defeat of the Takeda family in the Nagashino battle, Takeda Katsuyori led a few cronies in embarrassment and withdrew from Shinano from this bridge, for the same reason, because the back road of Nagashino Castle had been cut off by Sakai Tadaji's Iris Mountain surprise team.

And in charge of the rear of the palace, the commander of the right wing of the Takeda Army, the Baba Nobubo, in order to cover the retreat of Katsuyori, led his own cavalry into the Naka-Oda Army, and finally died in battle.

And now on the plain in front of the Izusawa Bridge, what appeared in front of the Oda army was Li Xiao's standing army, and the eleven western country phalanxes were spread out in a horizontal column.

The flag of the sun and the moon is unfolded in the wind.

The gunners of the large barrel team directly behind the formation, pulling the large cylinder with horses, stood on the high ground and placed the gun position.

Near the phalanx, the commander of the Ashigaru general wore a sword at his waist, wearing a family heirloom armor, and walked at the front of the queue. …,

The iron cannons on both wings are lightly armed with iron cannons, and they also hang fire ropes, and follow on foot.

And the spear foot in the center is dressed in a fiery red body, holding a towering spear phalanx like a forest, and the momentum is pressing.

After approaching the Oda army, the well-trained Li Xiao's standing army quickly changed its formation and formed a battle formation.

Each phalanx looked as if it had been cut with a knife, and it was arranged in a very regular manner.

Then, under the beating of the drums, the standing guards approached again with neat steps.

The bright armor streamer in the phalanx flickered, and countless spear blades stood straight up to the sky, reflecting the cold light of Sen Ran, and Li Xiao's standing army finally went into battle at this moment, showing its fangs to the Oda army.

At present, the Sawa Yama people, who were located on the leftmost flank of the Oda Army, Niwa Nagahide, bore the brunt and became the first victims.

Niwa Nagahide was Nobunaga's confidant, and he was also a friend and a vassal, and he himself married Nobunaga's adopted daughter.

Niwa Nagahide not only had a harmonious relationship with Nobunaga, but also had a high and powerful position in the Oda family, and in the retainers, Niwa Nagahide was second only to Shibata Katsuya.

Niwa Nagahide's greatest skill in the Oda family is his talent in domestic affairs, but he is not weak militarily, and just last year, Nobunaga gave him the power to dominate Wakasa Province.

In the Oda family, his department is second only to Shibata, Takigawa, Ake, Hashiba first-class independent army.

Facing the siege of the Takeda family's eleven western country phalanxes, Niwa Nagahide immediately sent the generals Takeda Motoaki (Wakasa Takeda was the last to be in charge, now Niwa Nagahide and Ritsu), Awaya Katsuhisa (Wakasa Kuniyoshi Castle Lord), and Naotomi Tsuguchi Hidekatsu, Nagashu Masaka, Kenbe Shoutoku, Yamada Yoshizo, and Numata Yoshinobu led the banner team to meet the Takeda army.

As a general, Niwa Nagahide's army is slightly inferior to the Four Heavenly Kings of Oda, but it is not weak.

Under his organization, Wakasa, Sa, and Yamazhong wanted to launch an attack on the Western Phalanx, and wanted to delay to Ikeda Hengxing and the support of Takigawa Ichiyi's team.

Niwa Nagahide's generals led all the way and concentrated on launching a fierce attack on the Takeda military banner!

When the Oda army poured into the Takeda army like a tide, Kano Hideji, the general of Kamioka Bei, the Yama Tiger of Snake Tail, and Naosue Yanagi of Hatamoto gave the order to meet the battle.

The iron cannons on both flanks of the western phalanx were light, and they raised the iron cannons together.

For a while, on the Maruyama Plain, there was a loud gunfire.

The Niwa long show of the Oda Army only supported for a moment, that is, the whole line collapsed!

The Wakasa people, Sawa Yaman, who can be called the powerhouse, were swept by a single blow, and several reserves were shattered.

After suffering a certain number of casualties, many of the samurai who fought bravely in the team were killed, and the ashigaru men had no morale to fight, so they abandoned their armor and fled.

And several generals under Niwa Nagahide's command who carried out the attack mission, Takeda Motoaki was captured, his subordinates Awaya Katsuhisa and Nagatsuki Masake were all killed in battle, while Hidekatsu Tsuguchi and Konbe Shoude were wounded by iron cannons and retreated.

And Niwa Nagahide led the flank to the death and did not retreat, but as a result, the iron artillery team prepared by the banner was shot and killed indiscriminately.

The Takeda Army was only a moment after defeating the Niwa Nagahide Army.

Located behind Niwa Nagahide's flank, Takigawa Kazuki and Ikeda Tsuneko were both stunned, and their faces were full of disbelief.

The combat power of Li Xiao's army is so strong.

But the nightmare of these two people is not over.

Then Li Xiaojun with a wave, the momentum was unforgiving, Rui Costa's big cylinder was prepared, and the big cylinder was carried on Maruyama, and all the big cylinders were fully fired, and the whole shelling of Takigawa Yiyi and Ikeda Hengxing Division.

So the scene is back to the beginning scene.

Takigawa Kazuyoshi's Kita-Ise Army was bombarded by the artillery of the large barrel and was beaten disheveled, while the six-pounder guns of the auxiliary artillery of Banner Motobei, Kamioka Bei, and Snake Tail Bei also showed great might when they approached the Oda army. …,

The loud sound of the big barrel shook the heavens and the earth, and this time in the battle of Changxiao, Li Xiao brought it together, eighteen six-pounder guns, twelve nine-pounder guns, and two twelve-pounder guns.

Now, no matter what caliber of the big cylinder, the plain where the current Takigawa Kazuyoshi and Ikeda Tsuneko are located is used as a stage for performance.

After just every three volleys, nearly 100 shells fell on the heads of Takigawa Kazuyoshi and Ikeda Tsuneko.

Even if Takigawa Kazuki can fight again, even if Maeda Keiji is brave, and Ikeda Tsuneko is loyal, what is the meaning of all this before the crazy shelling of the big barrel.

After being hit on both sides and under six rounds of shelling, Sakuma Nobumori, who had just escaped from Maruyama, was killed directly on the spot under the shelling of the Takeda army.

As for the other Oda troops who were killed by the bombardment, there were countless of them.

But the casualties are only that, but the most terrible blow is psychological.

For the officers and men of the Oda Army who participated in this battle, this day was a nightmare and a hell.

Countless Oda soldiers were already having a mental breakdown at this moment, like madness, and fled the battlefield crying.

Takigawa Kazuki and Ikeda Hengxing tried all kinds of methods to rein in the army, but this group of ashigaru still did not listen to orders.

Even if he killed some of the fleeing Ashigaru on the spot, it would be useless.

Takigawa Kazuki and Ikeda Tsuneko even gave up their dignity as samurai, weeping bitterly on the spot, begging their subordinates to return to battle, but to no avail.

At this time, the offensive of the Takeda army began, and the offensive like a mercury outpouring of water shattered the last illusions of Takigawa Kazuki and Ikeda Hengxing.

After the bombardment, the three major reserves of the Takeda Army directly attacked the Takigawa Ichiyi team, and at the same time, Tsuchiya Masahiro's Sun and Moon Reserve also attacked Ikeda's Hengxing team from the flank.

Tsuchiya Masahiro's 700 cavalry flashed their long knives with cold light on their horses, like cutting tofu, and drove straight into the rout of the Oda army.

The Oda army did not resist at all, and nearly 10,000 soldiers, just lambs to be slaughtered, became the souls of the cavalry.

"Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord, the Oda army Takigawa Kazuki, Ikeda Hengxing, Niwa Nagahide's army of nearly 10,000 troops, was defeated by our army to the ground, collapsed, my lord, this is an unprecedented victory!"

Seeing that Li Xiao's army was full of might, even Honda Masanobu, who had always been calm, couldn't hold back his excitement and congratulated Li Xiao.

In fact, not only Honda Masanobu, but also Li Xiao's staff, the side, the samurai, and the servants were all clenched into fists, and they couldn't help but feel happy.

Their faces flushed, as if they had to yell in order to express their emotions.

Even Usami Nami is the same.

When Li Xiao heard Benduo's words, he just smiled faintly and said, "The big victory is still a little short." ”

After speaking, Li Xiao looked sideways at Maruyama, the Oda Army flanked Li Xiao's flank, Yushiba Hideyoshi's North Omi Army, and Akechi Mitsuhide's Army are now storming Maruyama, Li Xiao's army is victorious on the island, and Rui Costa's large barrel reserve position.
