Kaga, Mt. Kurigara.

Mt. Kurigara connects Kaga and Echichu, with the Tonami Plains to the east and Kanazawa Plains to the west.

The meaning of Kurigara is taken from the sword of Kurigara held in the right hand of the King of Fudo.

The sword is wrapped around a sharp sword in the shape of a dragon, or in the form of a sword, standing on a rock, surrounded by flames. This does not move the wisdom and merits of the king.

Now on the steep Kuligara Mountain, the huge Lizi vermilion banner is fluttering in the mountain wind.

A large force of soldiers and horses was walking along the cliff.

The mountain road is narrow, and the 10,000 reinforcements of the Hida Echichu Army from Echichu to Kaga are like a long dragon hovering in the mountains, and you can't see the end from the beginning.

This 10,000-strong army, in addition to the five standing forces directly under Li Xiao, there are also Shimakatsu Fierce Mino, as well as some of Kinoshita Hidenaga's Shinkawa people, as well as garrisons from all over the country.

Now Li Xiao is wearing the armor of a Ming general, wearing a fiery red coat, riding a war horse black forging and riding a horse.

Shigang Yiyu, who was beside Li Xiao, said: "It is this cliff, in the battle of Kulijialuo Mountain that year, the 70,000 troops of the Heijia family were raided by the Yizhong Gong Fire Bull Formation, and they couldn't retreat, but on the way to escape, they pushed each other, and countless Pingjia soldiers were pushed into the valley under this cliff. ”

Shigang Yiyu said this, with a little emotion and a bit of glory in his tone.

The battle of Mt. Kurigara, which ended in a crushing defeat for the Taira clan, and it is not surprising that Kazuha Shioka, who is a famous family of Genji and a famous family of Togi, mentions this battle.

However, Shigang Yiyu's words made Li use. Sanada Nobuyoshi and the two were very interested.

is about to fight against Shibata, and these two are the first battles after Yuanfu.

These two young people didn't have much experience of the bloody cruelty on the battlefield, but they only heard the names of their fathers Li Xiao and Sanada Masayuki for their bravery, and they admired them infinitely. Now I'm just thinking about how to establish a martial name.

Li Yong rode behind Li Xiao and said with longing: "Father, the battle of Kurigara Mountain was the winner or loser of the Battle of Genpei, and today we advance to Kaga, and the decisive battle with Shibata Katsuya can also be like the original Yoshinaka Gong broke the army of the Taira clan, and the world was decided in one battle. ”

Li Xiao listened to Li Yong's words and smiled. Reaching out and patting him on the shoulder, he said, "Borrow what you say." ”

Sanada Nobuyoshi reprimanded: "Your Highness, Yoshinaka Gong was defeated and died in the end, so as to compare." It doesn't seem like a good fit. ”

Li Yong listened to Sanada Shinfan's words, and said angrily at the moment: "What I said is that my father is like Yoshinaka Gong who broke the army of the Hei family, and he broke Shibata's puppet, not anything else. ”

Seeing two Sanada Nobuyoshi. Lee used two young men to clash.

Shigang Yiyu was busy on the side, and said: "The two of you, please don't have to argue, the hegemony that the lord will achieve in the future." How can it be compared to Yi Zhonggong, please wait and see. ”

"Hegemony!"

Hear the word. Li Xiao smiled slightly.

And Shioka Kazuha said so, Sanada Nobuyoshi. Li Yong and the two of them looked away angrily, and then they didn't say anything more.

The army continued to move forward slowly, and after walking for another half an hour, the sight gradually became brighter, the terrain was flat, and it turned out to be out of the Kurigala Mountain.

At this moment, a warrior with the sun and moon double-patterned flag rode a fast horse and galloped from the plains, heading towards the land of Li Xiao's banner seal.

Li Xiao immediately reined in his horse and sat on the horse, and after this warrior arrived in front of Li Xiao, he dismounted and bowed, and said: "The main hall, the samurai Hagihara Chonghu ginseng." ”

Li Xiao nodded and said, "You are a samurai under the command of Zheng'er, from the Ogiwara family, what do you have to report?" ”

Hagiwara Chonghu sighed and said: "The lord ordered me to tell the main hall that the 35,000 troops of the Shibata Legion had stopped the attack of the Oyama Imperial Workshop and fled with armor after the lord of Wen personally led the reinforcements out of the battle!" ”…,

"Oh? Shibata rolled up his armor and fled. Li Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "This is a bit unexpected to me." ”

But Li Yong sneered on the side and said: "The so-called dignified general of the Oda family, the broken bottle of Shibata is just like this, famous and frightened, fleeing from the wind, and not daring to fight with his father." ”

Li Xiao glanced at Li Yong and said, "It's not that I'm not discouraged, Shibata just cherishes his feathers and refuses to fight with me." ”

Li Xiao looked at Hagiwara Chonghu and asked, "Shibata Legion, where have you retreated now?" ”

Hagiwara said, "The Shibata army is retreating towards Enuma County, and it should begin to force the ferry to take the river before tomorrow evening." ”

Tetori River!

When Li Xiao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said categorically: "You tell him immediately, let him go out of the Weishan Imperial Workshop to pursue the Shibata army, and I will bring in reinforcements to respond." ”

"Oh!"

After Hagiwara retreated.

Li Xiao turned around and shouted, "Listen to the order!" ”

Twenty envoys with Li Zi and a flag on their backs lined up in two rows and knelt in front of Li Xiaoma.

Li Xiao said loudly: "Pass the order, order all the soldiers to drop all dry food, carry only one weapon with them, run forward, even if the horse is tired to death, they must rush to the bank of the Tetori River before tomorrow evening, and when the enemy crosses the river, I will attack the Shibata Army at night!" ”

"My lord, this is too risky! Regardless of the formation, it was another night battle," Usami said on the side, "My lord, since the Shibata Katsuya has fled, it is better to let him go, and we must preserve our strength to fight a decisive battle with the Echigo army." ”

Li Xiao shook his head and said: "Facing battle is like firing a bow and arrow, I would rather lose than return, Shibata Katsuya hesitated in battle, lost the fighter, such an opportunity to take some risks, how can I miss it, and Uesugi Ken believes that I want to win, and the Shibata army can't let it go." ”

At that moment, Li Xiao ignored Usami Nami and shouted to the envoys: "Understood? ”

"Oh!"

So that Fan Bang agreed.

Twenty envoys stepped on their horses, ran from the front team to the back team, and spread Li Xiao's orders.

Immediately, the 10,000 soldiers of the Hida Etsuchu Regiment began to discard the bags of dry food on the side of the road, just holding a spear, a naginata, a rib gap, and a light sufficiency, and then lightly threw off their legs and ran towards the main road of Hokuriku.

As for the small lotus team, the big team left it far behind.

Li Xiao watched the army rolling forward and speeding up, and he also whipped his horse and galloped quickly.

And Shioka Kazuha, Sanada Nobuyoshi, and Li Yong also rode horses together to keep up.

When Li Xiao's 10,000 reinforcements were speeding forward, Li Zheng, who was in the Oyama Imperial Workshop, after receiving Li Xiao's order, also led the 10,000 troops who had just finished recuperating and joined the pursuit of Shibata Katsuie.

The two armies of the Hida Echichu Army, like a pair of iron pincers, attacked left and right, and chased straight after the tail of the Shibata Army.

In the evening of the next day, the Shibata Army, which had just retired from Oyama Gobo, had already reached the bank of the Tetori River all the way. (To be continued......)
