For Kiso Yoshimasa, whether it is Li Xiao's left-wing attack, victory or defeat, it is beneficial to him.

If it is a failure, then he can naturally gloat on the side, if it is successful, for Kiso Yoshimasa, in this Hida decisive battle, the sister Koji family is defeated, which means that the Kiso family has obtained a large number of territories from the defeated sister Koji family and the Uchijima family, in order to increase the stone height of the family and expand the strength.

So for Kiso Yoshimasa, he can be said to be completely stress-free now, watching from the wall and watching the Takeda Army work for his Kiso family from afar.

In fact, Li Xiaoruo Mu Zeng Yichang had this idea in front of him, and he must be able to tell him mockingly, you Mu Zeng Yichang thought too much.

How could Li Xiao do such a loss-making deal.

However, Li Xiao's biggest problem now is still how to repel the Hida coalition army, which is a force composed of multinational forces on the right.

Li Xiaojin said that the tactics he adopted, as Kiso Yoshimasa's retainer Yamamura Shibei and Aoyagi Kiyocho said, his approach was a bit risky.

In terms of the 300 men and horses of Jiangma Huisheng, a reserve team was formed, which was composed of a light spear, a bow, a horse riding team, a flag holding group, and a small lotus team.

However, Li Xiao's approach was to draw out his own standing reserves, the reserve teams of Jiangma Huisheng and Aoyagi Kiyocho, and the cavalry teams of the lieutenant generals, bow and gun, and integrate them together, which is equivalent to the military strength of thousands of people to form a large 'reserve team', that is, a combat unit.

Since the other party's wealthy clan fought with small troops in a way that was broken into parts, but did not engage in a head-to-head confrontation, Li Xiao did the opposite, combining all the reserve teams together, which was equivalent to retracting the five fingers, clenching them into a fist and then hitting them out.

The reason for Aoyagi Kiyocho's opposition before was that the reorganization of the reserve team could easily lead to the fact that the people who were not subordinate to one force in the past did not have a tacit understanding in cooperation, which led to inconsistencies in behavior.

Li Xiao didn't care about this, he believed that under the command of several outstanding generals under his command, this situation would not occur.

Li Xiaoling Shima Katsutoshi was in charge of the general of the reorganized cavalry, Aoyagi Kiyocho, Eima Thani, Shioka Kazuha as the general of the integrated spear ashigaru team, Kohata Akiken, and Kinoshita Koichiro as the general of the bow ashigaru.

At this time, Li Xiao's army marched to the right of the Hida coalition army, Li Xiao looked at the other party's wealthy army, more than half of the army in the ashigaru did not have a flag finger, or the logo of the flag seal of the general general, and the remaining one-third, just a variety of variegated flag fingers, all of which were not famous family crests.

is such a military situation, yesterday it caused huge trouble to the Wuchuan people, and today Li Xiao will repeat the mistakes of the past?

Li Xiao's army did not move quickly, slowly approaching, and at this time, in the middle of the Takeda army, the offensive on the right flank had already fallen into a fierce battle.

Before Li Xiao's army advanced to the position of the Hida Hao Clan's coalition army, the first to engage were the front-row long-range troops on both sides.

The front row of Li Xiao's side is composed of hundreds of people from Kohata Xiaoxian and Kinoshita Koichiro, and the Iron Cannon Foot Light Team.

The main general of the Hida Hao Clan's coalition army, Kojima Castle, the castle lord Kojima Time, also arranged a bow in front of the battle to shoot at the Takeda Army.

The sound of trembling arrows breaking through the air was endless, and the bows on both sides gritted their teeth to tighten the bowstring, and then shot the arrows from the bottom of their hands.

After the arrows staggered in the air, they each drew a trajectory and shot into the opponent's camp, provoking blood flowers to emerge.

And the roar of iron cannons continued to be heard from Li Xiaojun's side, and this was the iron cannon team of Xiaoxian Kohata who began to shoot.

This round of arrows between the two sides fought chaotically, and although the bow and ashigaru of the Hao clan coalition army of the island time were covered by the shield board, after the bow and ashigaru of the Takeda army were used intensively, more than a hundred people fired indiscriminately, and they kept suppressing the other party.

The bow foot of the missile coalition forces was forced to hide behind the shield and did not dare to raise his head out.

Li Xiao saw that his own bow and ashigaru had successfully suppressed the opponent after concentrated use, and then the general waved it and ordered the spear ashigaru to go out of the battle and go forward first to destroy the first line of anti-horse fence on the enemy's position.

Seeing that the Takeda army was approaching, the other party wanted to shoot the Takeda army with a bow and arrow. But Li Xiaojun's archery and footlight men strengthened the speed of archery, and under the suppression of the rain of arrows, the opponent was shot back as soon as he emerged.

The enemy island naturally couldn't sit idly by and watch Li Xiao destroy the horse fence so easily, so he dispatched two small wealthy clans to stop it.

The Hida coalition army rushed down with a spear in hand, wearing simple armor and carrying a spear. The guns of the two sides were separated by the first barrier, and they fought each other at a distance.

At this time, the army of Kojima Time took advantage of the high terrain and began to throw stones from top to bottom, and suddenly the Takeda army in front of them who destroyed the horse barrier was smashed to the head and bleeding under the stone attack.

Li Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he ordered the Hu Ding Clan, who was recruited from Youshan Village, to step forward.

I saw that Hu Ding took fifty standing guards who originally belonged to Li Xiao's army, one of them holding two bamboo spears with sharpened fronts, rushed to the front of the formation, threw off his arms, and attacked the opponent with a round of spear throwing.

These were all mountain people recruited from the village of Youshan, and they were all loggers with strong arms.

In the battle between Li Xiao and the Heshang family, they suffered a big loss from this group of people, but now, Li Xiao has incorporated them into his standing reserve and formed his own spear throwing team.

Fifty standing guards, one hundred bamboo spears, after two rounds of throwing, the army of the Hao clan suffered a great blow, and more than 20 stone-throwing ashigaru bodies were pierced by spears, nailed to the ground on the spot, and screamed miserably.

Seeing this tragic scene, the morale of this wealthy team immediately collapsed and they fled for their lives.

After this blow, Li Xiao's army suddenly increased its morale, and in the front battle of the spears, Li Xiao's army gained the upper hand, drove the other party out, and then opened several gaps in the anti-horse fence.

Immediately, the small pack teams of the reserve units and the engineer team reorganized from the general invitation group carried bags of dirt and filled the trench behind the first horse fence.

After filling in the trench, Li Xiaojun continued the pursuit and destroyed the second horse fence as well.

After destroying the fortifications of the Hida Army, the follow-up soldiers of the Takeda Army rushed up and attacked the Hida Army's position.

Under the order of the head of the ashigaru, the guns in the front row were put down neatly, and the spears in their hands were held and rushed forward with a loud shout.

Li Xiao's 500 spears were light, and the huge gun array formed was like a porcupine with an inverted blade that arched into the military momentum of the Hida Hao army, and showed great might.

The enemy's commander, Kojima, did not expect that his own position would break through to the Takeda army so quickly for a while, and almost no casualties would be inflicted on the other side.

And the dense gun array of the Takeda army was even more terrifying, advancing step by step, and in just a moment, the three Hao clansmen who were blocking in front of it were crushed and killed.

The rest of the Xiaohao clan saw that the momentum was not good, and they smeared oil on the soles of their feet, and for a while, the position of the former Hida Hao clan was full of fleeing Ashigaru soldiers.

Generally speaking, the battle has been won at this point, and once the regular army has been defeated, it is difficult to reorganize the counterattack.

But this army is different, they were originally composed of more than a dozen wealthy forces, not a system, such combat effectiveness is not strong, but was defeated, after a sigh of relief, as the leader of the name, the people shouted, and the young men belonging to the villages regrouped and gathered together.

It stands to reason that ordinary villagers don't have such a strong will to fight, and if they are defeated, they can regroup and fight again, and after being defeated, they can regroup and fight again, but I don't know why these Hida mountain people can be so brave and never retreat.

At present, the defeated Hao clan army is slowly regrouping its combat strength, preparing to repeat the scene of yesterday's battle against the Wuchuan people, it can't beat you, but it can drag you to death.

However, Li Xiao had already expected that he didn't give them another chance, he immediately gave an order, and Dao Shengmeng's cavalry team attacked!

There are more than 50 people in the horse riding team of Dao Shengmeng, which is composed of Li Xiao, Jiangma Huisheng's Ma Huizhong, and the horseback warriors in each reserve, so the original combat effectiveness is quite good.

After the Hida Hao clan army collapsed, Li Xiao invested in this cavalry team to impact the defeated army, and they could not be regrouped to fight again.

This team of more than 50 horsemen, which was originally assigned to the various reserve teams, was gathered and used, like a clenched iron fist, and immediately smashed a fist on the Hao army.

However, there is also a flaw in this temporary grouping, many samurai on horseback do not know how to fight on horseback, and some use guns, knives, and bows are not uniform, and they cannot coordinate tactically.

However, the Hida clan's army was already scattered, and after the rout, they were even more powerless to organize a resolute resistance.

As soon as the cavalry team of the island victorious arrived on the battlefield, the people and horses of the Xiaohao clan who had just assembled instantly baptized the bows, arrows, spears, and swords of the cavalry team, and scattered them in an instant.

The city lord of Kojima City, Kojima Shi, was not willing to fail and wanted to lead his cronies to come forward to block the attack, but how could the cavalry team of more than fifty be able to withstand his dozens of routs.

Under the confrontation between the two sides, Kojima Time was slashed by Shima Sheng, and the head was taken on the spot.

Kiso Yoshimasa, who was watching the battle in the rear, was dumbfounded, and yesterday he said that with a Shin Ryu and the elite Takekawa people, he fought fiercely against the right side of the Hida coalition army, which could not be defeated in a morning.

Today, less than half an hour after the start of the war, Li Xiao, who attacked from the left flank, had completely defeated the right flank of the Hida coalition army.

At this moment, Kiso Yoshimasa can only use the four words incredible to describe the mood of this matter.

The Takeda Army's main formation, with a ghost face and a red armor, Shan County Changjing, was also taken aback when he learned that Li Xiao broke through the left flank of the Hida Coalition Army.

Similarly, Masayo Sone, who was a prisoner, was also shocked.

They had heard Takeda Shingen talk about Li Xiao's power before, but after seeing it with their own eyes, they really didn't expect that this Li Xiao would be able to fight to this point.

Li Xiao's cavalry team was chasing and slashing the enemy's rout, and several horseback warriors even used ropes to lassoze the ashigaru of the Hao clan and dragged them straight behind the horses.

The bodies of these ashigaru people were dragged up by the war horses and flew straight, and their skin let out a sharp scream under the friction of the mountain rocks.

The remaining Ashigaru of the Hida clan saw this scene, and they were even more frightened.

After Li Xiao defeated the right flank of the Hida coalition army.

Immediately, the guns in their hands regrouped and formed a gun formation, and their army had already moved on the weak flanks of the sister road army's main formation, and began to attack the sister road family main formation on both sides with the Changjing team of Shan County in front of it.

Seeing this scene, Changjing of Shanxian County pulled out his sword, slashed downward, and issued an order to the whole army to attack generally.

All of a sudden, the cavalry team of the Takeda Army, headed by Changjing in Shanxian County, and more than 100 riders, shook the horse's hooves, rolled up layers of dust, and galloped down the mountain to launch an offensive against the main formation of the sister road army.

When Li Xiao's army and Shanxian Changjing's army were attacked from both sides at the same time, Sister Xiaolu stood in place coldly.

The sound of fighting all over the mountains and fields reached his ears in bursts, and his generals stood in front of him with panicked looks.

Sister Xiaolu Lianglai suddenly felt a sense of relief, at this moment of fighting, it was no longer for him to work hard to reverse the situation, and the general trend of Sister Xiaolu Army was gone.

Kai, Shima Onsen.

Shingen Takeda was in a good mood today, and after a short gallop in the nearby mountains on horseback in the morning, he returned to Shima Onsen and soaked in the hot springs for another afternoon.

Now that he has returned to Yashiki, he is refreshed and feels that the tuberculosis that had plagued him for many years has suddenly improved.

In the evening, the two positions of the main family are rich and prosperous, and the baba Nobubo came to the house where Takeda Shingen lived at the same time.

As soon as these two arrived, Takeda Shingen knew that something big had happened.

If the rice is really rich and prosperous, the racecourse letter room brought him two good and bad news.

The good news is that in the direction of Hida, the Hida expeditionary army of Yama Yama Shokei broke the sister path in the decisive battle, and the local alliance of the Hida of the Uchijima family won a number of enemy generals, with more than 500 heads.

Sister Road, after the Uchijima family was hit hard, they were defeated and fled.

Sister Koji Yoriyori, sister Koji Yoritsuna, father and son, led the remnants of the army and retreated to Sakurato Castle to defend it, while Uchijima Rishi retreated back to the main city and returned to Cloud City to defend it.

Now Changjing, Shan County, has led a large army to besiege Sakura Cave City, and once it is captured, it can completely wipe out the sister Xiaolu family.

The bad news was that Uesugi Kenshin had gathered an army of 15,000 and sent an army from Harumayama Castle for the fifth time to Kawanaka Island.

"Fifteen thousand troops,"

Takeda Shingen read it silently, and then said in a deep voice, "After the last time Kawanakajima, Uesugi Terutora actually has to have a decisive battle with my Takeda family. Does he think that I believe in Xuan, and the field battle is not as good as him? ”

"No, quite the opposite," Nobubo said, "in fact, it was a helpless move for Uesugi Terutora to send troops again. Following the last Battle of Kawanakajima, the main family's offensive in Hida Province and Ueno Province went well, while Echigo's power shrank. If at this time, Uesugi Kenshin does not do anything, he will eventually be wiped out by the family in one fell swoop, so Uesugi Terutora tried to fight the family again. ”

Iitomi Huchang also said: "I agree, Maba-sama's opinion. In the battle of Kawanakajima, he has already seen the combat power of his family, and this time he will fight again, not to fight with his own family. His purpose was just to contain the family's strategy in Hida and Ueno, and force the family to withdraw troops to defend. ”

Takeda Shingen nodded and said, "Huchang, what you said is very right, if the family doesn't draw troops from Hida and Ueno, then what will Uesugi Kenshin do next?" ”

Iitomi Huchang and Baba Nobubo glanced at each other, and Iitomi Huchang said: "If the family does not draw troops back to defend, Uesugi Kenshin has two choices, one is to continue south, relying on the help of Shinano ancestors such as Murakami Takanashi, who was attached to the Uesugi family before, to attack the North Shinano of the family. This point has been guarded against in the previous military discussion of His Majesty. ”

At the behest of Iitomi Torama, the crowd took a map of Shinano.

Iitomi Husho pointed to the map and said, "After Kaijin Castle, the family has strengthened the defense of Fukashi Castle and the two castles of Kojujo, plus Sanada Ittokusai-sama, the newly built Ueda Castle. These three cities can echo each other and choke the southward passage of the Uesugi army. Shenzhi City has his family's Xinlian Gong presiding over it, so there shouldn't be a big problem. If Uesugi Kenshin besieged any of these three cities, the family would be able to send troops from Kai to reinforce them. ”

After a pause, Fuhu Changyan said: "But what your subordinates are worried about is that the purpose of this Uesugi Teruto's operation is not to attack the hinterland of Shinano, but to advance westward to Hida, copy the back road, divide all the way to attack the Hida army of the family from the rear. ”

As soon as Iitomi Huchang said this, Takeda Shingen and Baba Nobubo both nodded in unison, indicating that there was such a possibility.

If Uesugi Kenshin adopts this strategy, the Hida expeditionary army of Yama Prefecture Masakai will be in danger.

Takeda Shingen pondered for a long time, and then said loudly: "Then according to Huchang, your intentions, Gengoro's Hida expeditionary army must be withdrawn." ”

"That's what Your Majesty means." Rice Fu Huchang agreed.

Baba Nobubo sighed and said, "But in this way, Gengoro is so easy to be in Hida, and the good situation laid down will be ruined." ”

Takeda Shingen smiled indifferently and said: "Shinharu, don't worry too much, Hida is bound to be in the hands of my Takeda Shingen, but it doesn't matter if it's late for a while." You have followed me for many years, and you know that no World War situation can be completely under your personal control, and if there is no unexpected thing in the middle, it will be an accident. ”

Racecourse Nobubo nodded and said, "Yes, my lord, it's your subordinates who are too hasty. ”

Takeda Shingen turned his head to Iitomi and said, "Since Echigo sent troops, then Sister Koji Yoshiyori must have also received the news, so we will immediately write to Gengoro and ask him to stop the Hida raid and quickly make peace with the sister Koji family and the Uchijima family, and then withdraw the troops and retreat to the front line of Shiozaki Castle, and then I will personally lead the army of my family out to meet him here." ”

As soon as Takeda Shingen's words came out, Rice was rich and Huchang, and Baba Shinfang was surprised at the same time.

Iitomi Huchang asked, "My lord, do you mean to send troops to Kawanakajima and fight a decisive battle with Uesugi Kenshin?" ”

Takeda Shingen nodded and said, "Since the Echigo army has broken into our borders, if you don't meet it, you will be regarded as cowardly. Uesugi Kenshin and I fought four times on Kawanaka Island for 11 years, and the corpses on Kawanaka Island were piled up with the bones of soldiers of the two armies.

"But Uesugi Kenshin and I have not yet decided the winner, and the two families have lost their troops here, and both have missed the opportunity to win the world."

"So it starts and ends on Kawanakajima, and Kawanakajima is the place where the fate of my Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin ends. The world is too big to accommodate, there are too many heroes, between me and Uesugi Kenshin, it is either him, or I, Takeda Shingen, who will erect his banner above Kyoto. ”

"In that case, I, Takeda Shingen, am not afraid of a fight!"

"Oh!" Rice is rich and Huchang, and the two of them bow down at the same time and agree violently.

(To be continued)
