The big barrel of the Takeda Army began a new round of roaring, in the smoke of the battlefield.

The Takeda Army was newly organized and prepared, and the Tiger Ben was prepared in battle formation, quickly outflanking and sneaking on the right flank of the Uesugi Army.

Tiger Benbei is the Guards Army that Li Zheng single-handedly organized, and he can be regarded as his descendants.

Among them, after the merits of the Takeda family, or their close relatives, they were elected.

The general of the reserve team is Takenaka Shigeji's brother Takenaka Shigeju, and the deputy general is Li Zheng's playmate Hagiwara Katsusuke, such a team can be described as the Young Guard.

When the Tiger Ben Army was quickly outflanking, it was encountering the general of the Uesugi family, the lord of Shuqi City, and the Shuqi Qing family.

The Shusaki Haru family is naturally known as the invincible person in the Seven Counties of Echigo, the number one of the Uesugi family, and the second son of the Shusaki Jing family.

Compared with his father, Shu Qi Qing's family is naturally not famous, but it is not an ordinary generation.

As a support team, Shuqi Harukie has always been vigilant, and when he saw a Takeda army outflanking and attacking, he immediately made preparations for battle.

Seeing the formation of the Shuqi Qing family team.

Takenaka hesitated slightly, he was more like a brave general charging into battle than his resourceful brother.

On the side, Hagiwara Katsusuke urged Takenaka Shigeju: "The young master has been training for two years, and it is his expectation to prepare for the tiger, and he must become famous in one battle." ”

Takenaka Shigeju listened to Hagiwara Katsusuke, nodded immediately, pulled out the sword, and immediately ordered the reserve team to defeat the Shusaki Haruka team.

Fifteen hundred Tiger Men quickly approached the enemy.

The tiger is a newborn calf. Naturally, there is no fear of strong enemies. In fact, Li Zheng also spent a lot of money on this army.

The armor worn by its standing armor is not the bamboo armor worn by Ashigaru, but the cotton armor worn by the Ming army.

In the era of firearms, which was rising day by day in the Warring States period, bamboo armor alone was no longer enough to protect against the shooting of iron cannons.

Cotton armor also appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, with cotton to defend against firearms on the outside and iron armor on the inside.

Therefore, Li Zheng spared no expense at the beginning from Li Dan's Ming maritime merchant side and from a thousand households in the Ming Dynasty. Secretly bribed a hundred sets of cotton armor in the name of depreciation, and then shipped it to Japan, all equipped with tiger armor.

When I heard that Li Zheng had spent such a large sum of money. After getting these 100 cotton armors, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little distressed about selling Yetian.

These 100 cotton armors are worth anything.

Cotton produced in Japan did not become widespread until the end of the Warring States period, and it was only transported by the Ming Kingdom and Joseon until now.

This cotton armor is simply uncontrollable by the family.

But the money was spent by Li Zheng arrogantly, and he equipped his own lineage.

Now Hu Benbei quickly approached Shuqi Qingjia's team, and the cavalry teams of the two armies also shuttled and killed each other into a pile.

After that, it was deployed in the front iron artillery team and carried out a gunsmoke-filled confrontation.

Halfway through the bombardment, Takenaka waved his sword, the iron artillery team withdrew, and the spears wearing cotton armor in the front row were ready to kill.

When the Uesugi army's iron cannon ashigaru shoots with an iron cannon. When this group of Takeda troops wearing cotton armor and armed with spears were on stand, they suddenly found that their lethality was greatly reduced.

Under the round of bombardment, the Takeda army did not suffer too many casualties, but killed them in one go.

In fact, cotton armor is not a complete defense against firearms, but the Uesugi iron cannon is not superior either, resulting in insufficient penetration.

However, this scene has shocked the Uesugi army too much, not to mention that the Takeda army has made a three-eyed firearm before, and this time it has made this kind of cotton armor that can greatly defend against firearms.

Of course, Takenaka Shigeki will not give Uesugi any chance to think twice. Tiger Benbei took advantage of the situation to enter the army of Shuqi Qing's team and defeated it.

As time progressed, the battle on the central front became more and more intense.

Above the Takeda Army's main formation, everyone was anxiously watching the direction of the battle.

At this time, an envoy with three arrow feathers on his body hurried to the main formation. …,

Li Xiao was watching the battle situation of Kamioka Bei, and after hearing that the other party was an envoy sent by Kinoshita Hidenaga. Immediately, my heart sank.

The envoy was covered in blood and threw himself off his horse. With the support of two close men, he came to Li Xiao.

"Report to the main hall, our army supports...... It couldn't be supported, and the right flank defense line was attacked by the Uesugi army, and it was almost impossible to support it. ”

Hearing the report from the envoy, even though Li Xiao had already prepared, he was still taken aback.

The right flank defense line, Kinoshita Hidenaga, Fujido Takatora complained to himself, this is not an ordinary emergency, but a hundred thousand urgency.

After listening to the report of the envoy, Li Xiaofang figured out the truth.

It turned out that the Uesugi army had mobilized heavy troops here, not only the Suyoshi people of Uesugi Nobuyi, but also the Ueda people of Kamishikatsu.

The main force of more than 10,000 people on the Mutsu Ueno side also appeared here.

Uesugi Kenshin sent his second son, Uesugi Keitora, to lead the Mutsu and Ueno Corps, and began to flank Li Xiao's right flank defense.

The Uesugi army is attracted by the Suyoshi people of the Uesugi Shinjing of the Uesugi Shinjing, and the Ueda people of the Kamishi Jingsheng are attracted in the front of the street, and Kinoshita Hidecho and Fujido Takatora pay attention.

And the main force of the legion, from crossing the mountains and rivers, taking advantage of the battle curtain of the fierce battle on the central front, suddenly appeared in the rear of Kinoshita Hidecho and Fujido Takatora Legion.

At this moment, Li Xiaofang understood that Uesugi Kenshin deliberately attracted the main formation here and made a posture of main attack, so that the main force of his army was here.

And the left-wing Gan Bad Jing Zhi sat down, but it only released smoke to confuse Li Xiao.

Uesugi Kenshin's attack on the left flank and in the middle was nothing more than a feint, and his real main attack was on the right flank.

Once the right flank defense line is lost, Uesugi Kenshin's army can make a big detour to his rear, use the streets to advance, and cut off Li Xiao's food route and retreat.

Li Xiao stared at the army of Uesugi Kenshin who was out of the battlefield, and suddenly realized that this side was Uesugi Kenshin's true intention.

"Father, do you want to immediately send Lord Katsu Shima to lead the Mino people to support the right wing." Li Zheng suggested.

Li Xiao waved his hand and said, "It's too late." ”

Li Xiaoshen said: "With this thunderous attack of the Uesugi army, the right flank defense line of our army has no luck. If I send reinforcements now, I will enter the routine of Kenshin Uesugi. ”

At this time, Li Xiao was on the side, Usami Nami spoke: "My lord, this is Uesugi Kenshin's tactics of using his body as bait, and he is trying to think that the main attack direction of the Uesugi army is here. ”

After Li Xiao listened to Usami Nami's words, he looked at the other party's eyes, nodded and said, "Very good, Uesugi Kenshin uses his body as bait, so that he must have the consciousness of being devoured by his body." ”

After hearing Li Xiao say this, Honda Zhengxin and Takenaka Shigeji were all shocked, obviously grasping Li Xiao's intentions.

At this moment, Li Xiao's eyes were blazing, he glanced at the generals, and then resolutely folded the horse whip in his hand, and said categorically: "If the order goes down, the whole army does not have to pay attention to the battle situation on the right flank, Baba Changfang, Uchijima Shiri led the Hida people, Shimakatsu Mengmei Nongzhong, You Zuo Xuguang, and Wenjing Jinglong led Neng to ascend the momentum and move closer to the center." I'm going to set up a formation here and besiege Uesugi Kenshin! ”

"Father-sama, but Fujido-sama, Kinoshita-sama?" Li Zheng said on the side.

Li Xiao nodded, and said: "Inform them that they don't have to fight to the death, give up the streets, and give up the grain route and retreat to the Uesugi army, they can shrink the remnants of the army and defend the flank of our army." ”

Li Xiao's decision is undoubtedly a tactic for you to cut off my arm and I will behead you.

Ren Uesugi detoured to his right flank, and he concentrated all his forces and gave Uesugi Kenshin a hammer head-on.

This tactic is not Li Xiao's consistent character, if he does not win, it will be a big defeat.

In fact, if Li Xiaoruo sent a reserve army to establish a second line of defense on the right flank, he could contain the defeat, so today's battle situation is that the Uesugi army broke through the right flank of Li Xiao's army, and Li Xiao defeated the eight reserves of the Uesugi army. …,

The result was a draw between Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin, each with losses.

In other words, he was the number one general in the world, and Uesugi Kenshin fought a decisive battle to explain to all his retainers.

But Li Xiao is full of confidence in his retainers and the legion, and he has to distinguish himself today.

If the winner cannot be divided immediately, when the Uesugi army detours to its right flank and rear, Li Xiao will definitely be defeated.

However, fortunately, there are mountains and rivers blocking it, and the terrain is not conducive to the large army, so Li Xiao has enough time to delay.

But if he kills Kenshin Uesugi before that, Li Xiao can win a big victory.

Li Xiao is not taking risks, under the burst fire of his three-eyed firearm, the situation on the frontal battlefield is a sharp turn for Uesugi Kenshin.

What Li Xiao has to do now is to mobilize a heavy army, and encircle and annihilate the Uesugi Kenshin Banner Army, as well as eight reserves, in the center.

In the past, it may have been difficult, but now the Uesugi Army's eight reserve units are in a difficult situation.

In the name of righteousness, it is impossible for Uesugi Kenshin to meet death without saving, so Li Xiao wants to use this to besiege and kill Uesugi Kenshin.

After Li Xiao's order was issued, he dispersed and sent orders to the reserves.

Just when Li Xiao's whole army launched to besiege and kill Uesugi Kenshin.

Far away in Ueno Province.

Smoke billowed over the city of Stables.

Under the banner of Isshiki Six Coins, Sanada Masayuki sat on top of the Maza, looking at the falling Stablebridge Castle Honmaru.

Naito Masatsuki and Nobusada Kohata are two generals, one left and one right, standing on the side of Sanada Masayuki.

In the middle of this formation, Fanmonomi continued to enter and exit, and informed Sanada Masayuki of the latest situation of the siege.

Sanada Masayuki calmly and orderly issued one order after another.

Sanada Masayuki, who was wearing armor, was full of confidence in holding the military equipment, and said to Naito Masatsuki and Kohata Nobutada: "Hojo Takahiro is powerless, please lead the two troops to take over the front and capture this city, please." ”

After Naito Masatsuki and Kohata Nobusada obeyed the order, they all received the order and strode down.

Sanada Masayuki watched the two go away, with a satisfied look on his face, and said in his heart: The main force of the family fought against the Tokugawa family in Mikawa, Takasaka Masanobu fought against Saito Asanobu in Shinano, and Li Xiao fought against Uesugi Kenshin in Kurobe River.

Unexpectedly, in the end, my Sanada family got the first opportunity, and the entire territory of Ueno was obtained by me.

The Uesugi family is in danger! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
