In the face of the offensive of the Echigo Army, the Takeda Army formed a crane wing formation, preparing to delay the battle with a resolute and steady defense until the time when the Einsatzgruppen returned to the rescue. Takeda Shingen was convinced that at this moment, the Echigo army would be defeated if the news of the attack on the base camp was on their way here, and as long as reinforcements arrived, the Echigo army would inevitably be defeated.

The Crane Wing Formation under Takeda Shingenbu, the left wing front formation was led by his younger brother Takeda Shinshihiro, followed by the Anayama Meixue Team and the Yuan Changyin Team; The front of the right wing of the Crane Wing Formation is served by another famous military strategy equivalent to Shinshiga, Naito Masatyo among the four ministers of Takeda, and the right wing is followed by Zhujiao Huding, Takeda Yoshinobu, Asarishi Shiki, and the Trace Department Katsushi.

The banner unit of the Takeda Army was led by Iitomi Genshiro, the younger brother of the heavy minister Iitomi Toramasa, who later became famous in Yamaprefecture Masakei.

Finally, the Mochizuki team, the Imafuku Josan team, and the Takeda Nobuyoshi team served as a reserve.

The situation of the battle between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. was that the left flank of the Tsurushi Formation, Takeda Nobuyo, was first attacked by Kakizaki Keiie, the first fierce general of the Echigo Army, and was at a disadvantage.

The situation on the right flank was even worse, and the eldest son, Takeda Yoshinobu, ignored the strategy formulated by Takeda Shingen, and recklessly fell into the encirclement of the Echigo army.

Another member of the right wing, the Takeda family, fiercely commanded Zhujiao Huding, and seeing that Gongzi was besieged, he also led the army to break away from the formation to rescue, but he was also surrounded by the Echigo army and fell into a bitter battle.

At this moment, Takeda Shingen, who has always been known for his steadiness, couldn't sit still at this moment, he angrily threw the generals aside, and ordered the centipede Chuancai: "Order all teams, even if Yoshinobu dies in battle, all teams are not allowed to go to the rescue and leave the position without permission." ”

"But Taro, it's your father-in-law, the heir of the future Takeda family." At this time, Changjing, the general of Shanxian County, opened his mouth to persuade.

"Because of the unauthorized actions of this rebel, our Takeda army is in danger of complete collapse, and if the battle situation continues to deteriorate before the Einsatzgruppen arrives, my Takeda Shingen's martial arts will be suspended in Hachimangahara."

Takeda Shingen sighed, and looked up at the 'Sun Tzu Siru Flag' above his head in the wind.

"When it comes to this, the only way to do this is to order the reserve Mochizuki team to stand for the position set by the Horned Tigers." Takeda Shingen gave a military order to the centipede horseman.

In this way, Shingen did not have any extra military strength on hand to support the Takeda Shinfan team in the bitter battle, and Takeda Shingen couldn't help but sigh and said: "Shinfan, Shinfan, you must support it." ”

When the bow and arrow team of the Echigo Army came with a rain of arrows, Li Xiao was the first to hate why he was so tall and big, so that he became the target of the arrows in front of everyone.

When the arrows attacked, Li Xiao hurriedly drove his horse back to dodge, which was quite embarrassing. Fortunately, at this time, all the soldiers were huddled outside with straw, and under the arrow board supported by wooden planks inside, no one saw Li Xiao's embarrassing scene.

After shooting several waves, the archery teams of the two sides retreated one after another, and then each other's ashigaru brigades stepped forward to take over, hundreds of bamboo spears spaced three or four meters apart, provoking each other.

I have to say that Li Xiao's equestrian skills are still extremely poor now, and he can barely ride and make do, but there is still a considerable distance to cut people on a horse.

Cutting people again, Li Xiao didn't control his balance, turned over from the horse and fell, and fell to the ground in embarrassment. Fortunately, if it weren't for the desperate protection of a few ashigaru soldiers under his command, Li Xiao's traversal life would have finally been here.

Holding the pocket (helmet), Li Xiao touched his face, TMD, and actually had a nosebleed in shame, which really detracted from the majesty of the warriors of the Ming Kingdom.

Li Xiao knows very well that in such a large army, personal bravery is not important, and in the confrontation between the two armies, it is the two words 'momentum' that play a decisive role. As the saying goes, the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road, no matter how strong Li Xiao's personal courage is, he can't reverse the unfavorable situation in front of him.

Seeing that the Takeda army of Takeda Shin Fanfang was pressed by the Echigo army of the Kakizaki Keijia and kept retreating, many soldiers of the Takeda army were poked by bamboo guns, and their bodies fell to the ground like this. So the samurai of the Echigo army stopped, took out the ribs around their waists, and laboriously cut off the heads of the soldiers of the Takeda army.

The first level is the certificate of military merit, after the samurai cut off the head, the head earned after the war can be converted into military merit, if you are lucky, you can cut three or four heads after the first battle, and it is not a problem to exchange for hundreds of times, of course, if you kill the other party to become a famous samurai, it will be even more profitable.

Of course, if you are unlucky, your own head will also be counted as someone else's military merit.

After the samurai left, it was the ordinary ashigaru soldiers, like picking up other people's leftover crows, scavenging the samurai's corpses for a while, and if they saw good weapons and armor, they could also pick them up and use them themselves.

In the Warring States Period, when there was no separation of soldiers and peasants, the daimyo hired peasants and soldiers to fight, and the most basic guarantee was to have rice to eat twice a day (in peacetime, the peasants lived very hard, and most of the time they couldn't even eat the rice they planted), and as for cutting the head on the battlefield, it was non-business income.

Just like the current company employees, rice = basic salary, first level = bonus.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao was naturally a little dumbfounded, and only then did he think about why the battle of Kawanakajima recorded in history lasted for eight hours. It would not be surprising at all if it were all at this pace of operation.

All this in front of Li Xiao is also the most common way of fighting in this Warring States era. Those improvised peasant soldiers, who usually live at the bottom of society, and are all poor, for whom the victory or defeat of the fame does not matter, there are only two things that really matter.

The first thing is to save his life, and the second thing is how to earn him a sum of money while saving his life.

It is precisely because of this that half of the Kakizaki Jingjia horses on this side attacked the Takeda Shinfan army, and half were busy cleaning up the battlefield in the rear, so they did not give the most fatal blow to the Takeda army in the defeat.

In the pursuit of the Echigo army, they suddenly noticed that the defeated Takeda army in front of them had suddenly dispersed from both flanks, and it was the Takeda family iron artillery unit that had reloaded their ammunition to meet them. Without waiting for the Echigo army to react in time, the Takeda Army's iron artillery team fired a hundred guns, and the sound of the iron cannon explosion was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, which immediately caught the pursuing Echigo army off guard.

This is the tactic that Li Xiao originally offered to Takeda Shinfan, a bit borrowed from the Shimazu family's 'fishing and wild ambush' tactics, in fact, this tactic Li Xiao had seen in another movie depicting the American Civil War before.

Lure the enemy into an ambush with your artillery, then inflict a sudden volley of fire before engaging in a counterattack.

In fact, the sudden platoon fire of the iron cannon can not only cause certain damage, but most importantly, frustrate the opponent's momentum. Seeing that many Echigo soldiers were looking at the corpses of their comrades beside them, and there was a sound of being blown up by iron cannons, which made their ears buzz and their brains dizzy, they were suffocated by this attack.

At this time, the Takeda Army, which had retreated to the two flanks, turned back to kill, and the iron artillery troops in front also dropped the iron cannons, drew their knives from their waists, and rushed forward together.

The tip of the spear under Li Xiao's hand easily pierced through the bamboo armor and pierced the chest of an Echigo soldier. Although I have played the game of Snake Warriors, Warriors of the Three Kingdoms and other thousands of people and hundreds of people, the bloody killing in front of me is really a time.

Seeing that the other party was convulsing all over, and blood foam kept spurting out of his mouth, Li Xiao felt very disgusted, but he had to continue, there was no way, this was the fate of the samurai. Seeing that several of his subordinates were excited, skillfully cutting off the soldier's head, Li Xiao took a few heavy breaths.

"My lord is really brave and brave in the world, and he won a head in the first battle." A leader of the ashigaru group came up to send Li Xiao's sycophants.

The head of this ashigaru group is named Shinjiro, and he is the worst martial artist among the samurai under Li Xiao, who only hides behind the peasant soldiers during the war, and does not dare to rush forward to kill, and he is cheeky to mix up the title of a samurai. He seems to know that he is not qualified to be a samurai, so he is very low-key, and he flatters others, which is quite embarrassing.

Well, no matter how bad it is, it's your own subordinate. Li Xiao smiled reluctantly and said, "Don't be lazy, continue to kill the enemy." ”

All the soldiers were in high spirits and agreed in unison.

I have to say that Li Xiao's height of 1.85 meters, coupled with the excellent physical fitness of modern people, is quite outstanding in this era of the Warring States Period. How to say that with Li Xiao's current strength, converted into the data in the game, the force value should also be 80.

Li Xiao estimated that when playing games in the past, the Warring States generals under Li Xiao's eyes, if the force is above 90, it can be regarded as the brave champion of the three armies, and the force above 80 can also be called a brave general, the force of 70 is called unsatisfactory, and the force below 60 is generally called waste wood.

According to Li Xiao's standard, Kinoshita Tojiro must be crying silently at this time.
