Takeda Katsuyori's face was grim, the tip of the spear in his hand was dripping with blood, and he frantically urged the war horse to lead the elite horses back to the crowd to attack the main formation of the Honjo army.

Takeda Katsuyori raised his gun and pointed it at Honjo Shiranaga, who was surrounded by many Echigo samurai.

"Honjo is prosperous, do you dare to fight with my Suwa Katsuyori?"

Honjo Fan Huo Ran stood up, turned over on his horse, waved the naginata in his hand, and shouted: "Suwa Katsuyori, why don't you dare?" ”

Honjo's long legs clamped, drove the war horse to dance the naginata, and rushed towards Takeda Katsuyori.

Takeda Katsuyori also rode a horse, the two horses headed each other, Takeda Katsuyori's eyes flashed, a spear, directly towards Honjo Shigan stabbed out three shots, the gun is fierce, Honjo Fanchang is also not weak in martial arts, with a naginata knife to connect Takeda Katsuyori a shot fast like a shot after a series of three shots, but also backhand pull out a knife to Takeda Katsuyori.

Takeda Katsuyori reclined on his horse, turned around and fired Honjo's long sword.

After the horse's head staggered, Takeda Katsuyori pulled the reins back, slapped the horse's ass with the barrel of his gun, and killed Honjo Shiranaga. And Honjo Fanchang also adjusted his war horse, and turned back to kill Takeda Katsuyori.

After only a few sounds, the horse's heads staggered again, and this time the two fought to a tie again.

Seeing that the commanders of the two armies each launched a 'one-horse discussion', Takeda Katsuyori's side, Okuma Asahide, Baba Masabo, Akibe Masatada, Akiyama kinhisa, Takeuchi and Gozaemon, Abe Sosada, Ohara Jitada and other generals all came out to report their names, and there were also famous samurai with outstanding martial arts in the Honjo army who also came out to fight with the generals of the Takeda army.

The ashigaru of the two armies also formed a gun formation, dozens of people in groups, each raising their guns to provoke each other, blocking, and assassinating.

And just as Takeda Katsuyori was storming the main position of the Honjo army, the two flanks of the Honjo army flanked the two weak flanks of Takeda Katsuyori's team. Since Takeda Katsuyori's offensive had been resisted, the weak flanks had shown signs of weakness under the attack of the Honjo army.

After all, the Honjo army was outnumbered, and under such a flank attack, the casualties on both flanks of the Takeda army gradually increased, and the situation dragged on more and more unfavorable to the development of the Takeda Katsuyori army.

The current battle situation is that the Takeda army is storming the main position of the Honjo army, and the two wings of the Honjo army are encircling and attacking the flank of the Takeda army, and the two armies compete to see who can kill each other faster and one step faster.

Katsuyori Takeda and Shienaga Honjo met for the seventeenth time, and the two were once again deadlocked.

Sigh!

Honjo grabbed the reins and gasped heavily, and now he only felt his arms weaken, and he turned his horse's head and looked back at Takeda Katsuyori, who was also stopping his horse.

Looking at the other party, Honjo couldn't help but feel a little frightened, and said in his heart: "Why is this Suwa Katsuyori so terrifying, the momentum is compelling, and the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, and if he fights again, I am not his opponent." ”

At this time, Takeda Katsuyori had finished readjusting the war horse, and he took a heavy breath, and his eyes showed a look of determination.

When Takeda Katsuyori turned around again and raised his gun and rode his horse towards Honjo Honjo, Honjo was already a step slower to drive his horse.

I saw Takeda Shenglai under the war horse in his crotch, and his speed continued to increase, reaching the fastest in an instant.

When Takeda Katsuyori took advantage of the speed of the war horse to kill the head of the long horse in Honjo like a lightning speed, he suddenly shouted, as if thunder had sounded in the middle of the day.

"Kill!"

Takeda Katsuyori shot straight down. Honjo's long naginata did not block Takeda Katsuyori's spear, and the head of Takeda Katsuyori's spear pierced through the armor of his right shoulder, and he was killed with a single shot.

"My lord."

The long horses of Honjo returned to the crowd and saw that Honjo was long and fell from the horse, and they left their current opponents and came up to the rescue together.

At this time, Takeda Katsuyori took advantage of the situation to drive the flag seal of the Malay Honjo army, killed and retreated with the flag of Ashigaru, and then changed the gun to the left hand, and rode the horse with the right hand to pull up the flag mark directly.

"The Honjo army is defeated!"

Takeda Katsuyori shouted and raised the flag seal of the Honjo Army in his hand.

Takeda Katsuyori shouted loudly, and suddenly all the troops turned their eyes to him, only to see Takeda Katsuyori wearing antler pockets, a fiery red straddle horse, holding a gun in one hand and the flag seal of the Honjo army in the other, which was intimidating.

When the Takeda army saw that Takeda Katsuyori had captured the flag, their morale was greatly boosted, and they raised their guns and shouted to start a counterattack.

The Honjo army was overwhelmed, and the soldiers began to flee, and the seriously wounded Honjo Shiganaga was rescued by his samurai and began to evacuate the battlefield as well.

Under the desperate struggle of Takeda Katsuyori, the Takeda army defeated the 1,000 troops of the Honjo army with only one-third of the strength of the Echigo army.

At this moment, a group of more than 20 cavalry in the distance galloped towards the battlefield.

Seeing this, Takeda Katsuyori couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, thinking that it could be the reinforcements of the Echigo Army?

The other generals of the Takeda family, such as the Great Bear Asahi and Baba Masabo, stopped chasing and killing the Echigo army in front of them, and each led his soldiers to gather around Takeda Katsuyori, and looked vigilantly at the cavalry galloping towards the battlefield.

"It's Takeda Ling, it's my Takeda family's cavalry!"

A sharp-eyed samurai pointed his hand forward and said happily.

Takeda Katsuyori nodded, and he also saw that it was the crimson Takeda Lingqi finger.

"Back to His Highness, it's Lord Li Xiao and Lord Sanada Masayuki, they are leading the army back to help!"

Oh!

The soldiers of the Takeda army shouted excitedly, they had just defeated the Honjo army, and it happened that Li Xiao and Sanada Masayuki came, and two flanking attacks could completely wipe out this Honjo army.

Li Xiao and Sanada Masayuki rushed to Takeda Katsuyori and pulled their horses to stop.

Takeda Katsuyori threw the flag seal in his hand to the ground, stepped on it with his horse's hooves, and said proudly: "Li Xiao, Sanada, I defeated the Honjo Honjo Prosperous 1,000 troops with 300 men. ”

Sanada Masayuki and Li Xiao glanced at each other. Sanada Masayuki said unexpectedly: "His Royal Highness Katsuri, please quickly withdraw your troops and retreat to the city." ”

"Why?" Katsuyori Takeda asked, stunned.

Li Xiaoran said in a deep voice on the side: "I don't have time to explain more, please Your Highness, give an order quickly." ”

Hearing Li Xiao's urgency, Takeda Katsuyori nodded, and quickly gave the order to withdraw the troops.

When the Takeda army heard that it suddenly did not pursue the Honjo army, but instead withdrew its troops and retreated to the city, they couldn't help but be very surprised.

However, Takeda Katsuyori's order was very clear, and as the horn of the conch was blown, the Takeda army began to withdraw, allowing the Echigo army to retreat. This situation made the Echigo army, who were desperately fleeing in all directions, feel that they are desperately surviving, and at the same time, they are also puzzled.

The Takeda army could obviously pursue it again, but the Honjo army was completely defeated, so why did it give up at this juncture?

The Takeda Katsuyori team collected its troops and retreated towards the city, and the same detachment of the Takeda army brought by Li Xiao and Sanada Masayuki also appeared.

The two Takeda armies retreated together towards the Oteemon Gate at the Tiger Mouth of the Waimaru Tengu Maru in Iwaki Castle, and entered the castle one after another, and when the last Takeda soldier entered the castle, the Oteemon Gate was slammed shut.

As soon as they entered the city, Takeda Katsuyori, Li Xiao, and Sanada Masayuki rode to Ninomaru, and the three of them stepped on the wooden ladder and climbed directly onto the arrow turret.

Katsuyori Takeda stood on the top of the arrowhead, supported the railing with both hands, looked up into the distance, and was suddenly shocked, and couldn't help but take a step back.

Li Xiao and Sanada Masayuki both looked silent, standing behind Takeda Katsuyori with expressionless faces.

In the end, Sanada Masayuki sighed and said, "We are still a step slower after all. ”

On the other side of the hill of Iwaki Castle.

"Honjo is prosperous, this incompetent person can't even stand hundreds of people in Takeda Katsuyori."

A white-bearded veteran dressed in a full-footed, feathered weave pointed to the long rout of the Honjo army at the foot of the mountain and spoke.

Saito Asanobu, a famous general of Echigo who is known as Echigo Zhong Kui, laughed and raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Sebe, why be angry, fortunately we didn't just arrive, so we didn't let Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao, the two big fish, escape, otherwise His Royal Highness the Lord will be angry again." ”

The white-bearded veteran stretched out his hand to pinch his beard, nodded and said, "You are right, the scene of the battle of Baigen Mountain must not be repeated this time." This time, the entire Takeda Army will be annihilated in the city of Iwaji. ”

This white-haired samurai is none other than the general of Echigo, the lord of Hirabayashi Castle, and Katsunaga Sebe.

On the winding mountain road behind them, the Echigo army, with no end in sight, was advancing towards Iwaku. All of a sudden, as far as the eye could see, a banner fluttered like a sea, the sword light was like snow, and the spear was raised high like a forest.

This black-clothed and black-armored Echigo army is like a rainbow, and the military appearance is at its peak.

The main army of 7,000 Echigo, led by Saito Asanobu and Sebe Katsunaga, arrived at this moment and blocked Takeda Katsuyori and Li Xiao in the castle of Iwaji.
