On the plains north of the Archakuhara region, the military momentum that lit up the sky like a sea of fire shook the Oda Tokugawa army greatly.

The soldiers of the Tokugawa Oda army all guessed the size of the strength of this army, and many samurai who had a certain amount of experience in watching the battle secretly made a conclusion about the strength of 10,000 to 20,000 troops.

On top of the main camp of the Oda army of Kekurakuji Mountain.

And the Oda Army's Monomi Fantou, to Oda Nobunaga's judgment, the Takeda Army's army is the general Li Xiao of the Hida Echichu Army, and its army size is around 20,000.

Hearing this news, Oda Nobunaga couldn't help but gasp.

Oda Nobunaga shouted at Takigawa Kazuyi, who was in charge of ninja reconnaissance: "What are you doing to eat, why Li Xiao is out of battle, I don't know anything about it!" From Viethorn to Sanhe, he took that path and mobilized a scale of nearly 20,000 troops, didn't you know anything about it before? ”

Takigawa Kazuyi replied embarrassedly: "The lord has been raining continuously for the past few days, so the investigation of Mikawa has been lax, so there is something missing. ”

"That's enough," Nobunaga interrupted Takigawa Kazuki.

He looked at the Takeda family's army that was approaching the mountain, if Li Xiaozhen brought 20,000 troops to the Takeda family, then the Oda army's strength advantage would be gone.

Thinking of this, Oda Nobunaga's eyes suddenly tightened, he stared into the distance, and muttered to himself: "Could it be that this Nagashino is not a trap I set for the Takeda family, but a trap set by the Takeda family for me Nobunaga?" ”

After Nobunaga made such a guess, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and a sense of crisis came out of his heart.

"Damn!"

Nobunaga couldn't help but hold the whip horizontally.

At the same time, the Hida Etsuchu Army had reached the hillside on the north side of the Takeda Army.

Seeing the arrival of the army, the reactions of Takeda and Oda were completely different.

The morale of the Takeda Army was lifted, and countless people raised their guns and cheered loudly in the direction of the Hida Echichu Army.

The Takeda Army's main formation.

Takeda Katsuyori's military tent camp, hearing the news of Li Xiao's reinforcements, traces of Katsuko, Nagasaka Mitsuken gathered in Katsuyori's military tent again.

At this time, Yama County Changjing, Baba Nobubo, and Naito Masatoyo strode into the camp.

They saw Takeda Katsuyori next to Katsuyori and Mitsuken Nagasaka, who were suggesting something to Katsuyori.

Shan County Changjing frowned when he saw these two people.

When the two of them saw the three of them in Yama County, they also snorted and stood aside.

Yama Shan Changjing asked Takeda Katsuyori: "My lord, is it Li Danmashou's army that came to help?" ”

Before Takeda Katsuyori could speak, at this time, Katsuzi said on the side: "Lord Shan County, it's too rash to make a judgment, the military situation under the mountain is indeed good for Li Danma, but how can you confirm that he is here to help?" Or is it Li Danma Shou, who secretly colluded with the Oda family and led the army to encircle our army? ”

Listening to the words of the Trace Department Katsushi, Yamagu, Bababa, and Naito all gasped.

Shan County Changjing looked at the trace of Shengzi and reprimanded: "This is impossible, Li Danma Shou is favored by my Takeda family, and he will never fight back at this moment!" ”

Katsushi Shibe sneered and said: "It's not easy to say, Sakuma Nobumori can oppose Oda Nobunaga, and Li Xiao can also oppose us Takeda." ”

Speaking of this, Katsuzi said to Takeda Katsuyori: "My lord, please also send troops to intercept the Takeda army and move closer to me, otherwise if Li Xiao's army is allowed to flank our army's back and attack Oda army in front and back, our army will inevitably fall into a desperate situation!" ”

"Don't do that!" Shan Shan Changjing looked at Takeda Katsuyori and said anxiously: "If you do this, it will only chill Li Danma, who has come to help for thousands of miles. ”…,

Racecourse Xinfang also said: "What's more, if Li Xiaozhen has different intentions, he can sit back and see my Takeda family perish in this battle, so why bother to do this?" ”

Katsuzi said angrily: "Lord Baba, you are saying partiality, how can our army be defeated in the decisive battle tomorrow." ”

Speaking of this, Katsushi Tracebe looked at Takeda Katsuyori and said: "My lord, my majesty has received a secret report that Oda Nobunaga sent his general Sasa to Seimasa to cross the Hida Mountains in winter and secretly contact Li Xiao. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori was slightly stunned.

"Because of this strange matter, His Majesty wanted to secretly investigate and report to the lord clearly, but today Li Xiao happened to be on the occasion of the decisive battle between the two armies, and the army came, isn't it very suspicious?" ”

Shan County Changjing said in a deep voice: "Traces of Shengzi, you are purely chasing after the wind, even if what you say is true, it can't mean anything." ”

"But Li Xiao has never reported this matter to the lord," at this time, Nagasaka Guangjian, who had been silent on the sidelines, finally spoke.

Nagasaka Mitsuken turned his head to look at Takeda Katsuyori, and said sideways: "Lord, not only did Li Xiao not report the matter of becoming a politician with Zuo to the lord, but if he led a large army to help his family this time, he should have said hello in advance, but now there is no sign at all, and the army suddenly appeared." ”

"Your Majesty can be sure that Li Xiao must have ill intentions, please make a decision quickly and send troops to intercept it!"

Changjing, Yama County, Racecourse Shinfang saw the traces of the Department of Shengzi, Nagasaka Mitsuki provoked, shocked and angry to Takeda Katsuyori, and said: "Lord, don't believe the words of these two people. Although Li Xiao is not necessarily a loyal minister, he will never be ungrateful and a traitor. ”

Seeing that both sides were doing their own words, Takeda Katsuyori took a few steps in the military tent and recalled the things that Li Xiao had gotten along with in the past.

When he thought of Baigen Mountain, the birth and death of Yan Rejection City, and the rebellion of Yixin, Li Xiao's full support.

Takeda Katsuyori breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly showed a smile, and said: "There is no need to send troops to intercept, I am convinced that Li Xiao will never defeat me!"

"My lord! The owner! ”

Traces of victory, Hikaru Nagasaka said urgently.

And Changjing, Shanxian County, and Machang Xinfang are all breathing a sigh of relief.

Takeda Katsuyori waved his hand and said loudly: "No need to say it again!" ”

And at this moment, a close man said with a happy face: "Report to the lord, Li Danma Shou has come to the bottom of the mountain to ask for a meeting!" ”

"How many people did he bring?" Masathiro Naito asked.

"Only Tajima Mori-sama himself, and four or five people approached."

Hearing this, Takeda Katsuyori, Yama Yama Masakai and others were overjoyed.

Li Xiao is in person, and all the rumors against him are self-defeating.

Takeda Katsuyori waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Before I sent troops to Mikawa, I had already informed Li Xiao that he secretly led an army to reinforce Nagashinojo, the purpose of which was to lure the Oda Tokugawa army to do this decisive battle under this fortified city!" ”

Speaking of this, Takeda Katsuyori pointed his hand down and said, "This place is the tomb of the 38,000 Tokugawa Oda Army!" ”

"Lord!"

Changjing in Shanxian County, Racecourse Xinfang, and Traces of Shengzi all did not think of this.

Takeda Katsuyori smiled and said, "I know what you mean, but because this matter is the biggest secret, I ask you to forgive me for not being able to confess it before!" ”

At this time, Shan County, Maba and others realized that among the ministers, only Li Xiaofang was Takeda Katsuyori's henchman.

Therefore, this matter has not been told to anyone, even in Shanxian County, and they are also in the dark.

Takeda military doctor Oji Yamamoto on the battlefield. …,

All the soldiers knew that Li Xiao led a large army to come to help, and they rushed out one after another, and gathered on both sides of the mountain road to watch this famous general in the Takeda family.

Many people have never seen Li Xiao, so the mountain road is crowded with people, vying to see Li Xiao's demeanor.

Under the drizzle, Li Xiao was dressed in a lily coat and lined with armor, and rode his horse slowly up the mountain.

Looking at Li Xiao's burly body, the reinforcements of the Hida Echichu Army were already densely packed under the mountain.

The officers and men of the Takeda Army were all excited, and they raised their guns and said loudly:

"But Lord Mamori, mighty!"

"But Lord Mamori, this battle will definitely lead us to defeat the Oda army!"

Li Xiao turned his head to look at the soldiers with excitement, but his expression did not fluctuate too much, he sat on the horse's back, just raised his right arm high, clenched his fists with his five fingers, and responded to the Quartet: "Victory!" ”

"Victory!"

"Yes, but Lord Ma Shou said that tomorrow we will win the battle!"

"Victory!"

The Takeda army's main formation suddenly shouted everywhere, resounding in the sky, and even the Tokugawa-Oda coalition army on the opposite side was also alarmed.

When Li Xiao approached the main camp on horseback, he had already seen dozens of Takeda army generals such as Takeda Katsuyori, Yama Yama Masaka, Baba Nobubo, Takeda Nobutoyo, Anayama Nobuya, and Tsuchiya Masaji, all standing outside the military tent under the misty drizzle.

Li Xiao didn't dare to slack off at the moment, turned over and dismounted, ran to Takeda Katsuyori, and bowed down and said, "Lord, please forgive Li Xiao for being one step late!" ”

Seeing Li Xiao like this, Takeda Shengyori's eyes were also shining, and he helped Li Xiao up and said in a deep voice: "You are not late!" ”

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled at each other.

Takeda Katsuyori slapped his fist on Li Xiao's shoulder and said loudly: "Come on, enter the account to discuss the decisive battle tomorrow!" ”

Right now, the lights are shining brightly in the military tent.

All the generals of the Takeda Army who went out to Nagashino this time gathered here.

As the second elder of the family, Li Xiao's position is only below the Changjing of Shanxian County.

But at this moment, all the retainers turned their eyes on Li Xiao.

After a moment of silence, Shan County Changjing finally told everyone what they wanted to ask.

"Li Danma Shou, dare to ask Your Excellency how many troops are there to help Chang Xiao this time?"

Li Xiao responded: "There are 5,500 standing guards, plus the Mino people of the island victory, a total of 8,000 troops!" ”

"Eight thousand!"

The faces of all the generals sank, especially the faces of Yamaguchi, Baba, Naito and others.

Tsuchiya Shoji asked, "But Lord Tajimamoru, judging from the firelight just now, the scale of the battle is at least close to 20,000 people!" ”

Li Xiao smiled and said, "It's very simple, that's because I ordered each soldier to light two torches." ”

"What?"

Tsuchiya Shoji was stunned for a moment.

Li Xiao explained: "This is just to deter the enemy. This time, starting from Kajida Castle, marching along the Nakasendo to Shinano, and then through the mountainous area of the Okusan River, it was impossible to dispatch too many troops, so the 8,000 people were already the limit. ”

Shan Shan Changjing looked at Li Xiao and asked, "Li Danma Shou, even with your reinforcements, our army is only 20,000, barely half of the Oda Tokugawa army, do you think that your Excellency will be sure of victory in this way?" ”

Before Li Xiao could answer, at this time, Katsuzi of the trace department rushed to speak: "Lord Danma Mamori, I heard that Nobunaga sent Sasa Seimasa to contact Your Excellency secretly, how do you explain?" Is it ill-intentioned? ”

Li Xiao looked at Shengzi in the trace department, his eyes were cold, and he asked in a cold voice, "Are you questioning me?" ”

Traces of Shengzi were stunned by Li Xiao's aggressive gaze, took a step back, and said, "But Lord Ma Shou, please answer my question." ”…,

Li Xiao rushed forward abruptly and entangled the traces of Shengzi.

Li Xiao's movements were extremely fast, and he didn't react at all, so he was caught by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao snorted coldly and said: "What kind of thing are you, you dare to come and question me, if it weren't for the rebellion of His Royal Highness Yixin back then, if it wasn't for the soft-heartedness of the lord and the death of you, what qualifications do you have to speak here now." ”

"Tell you, in my eyes, you are just a courtier, shut up for me as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have to talk again in the future."

After Li Xiao finished speaking, he slapped his palm on the face of Shengzi in the trace, and immediately hit the other party's face.

Jibu Shengzi was beaten to the ground by Li Xiao, and he was immediately shocked and angry, originally Li Xiao's actions at this time were extremely unreasonable.

Not to mention the actions of the emperor, the capital of Jibu Sheng is at least the general of the family, but now after being beaten by Li Xiao, no one stepped forward to accuse.

Katsushi Shibe asked everyone for help to no avail, and turned to look at Takeda Katsuyori, hoping that he would stand up for himself, but he didn't expect Takeda Katsuyori to wave his hand and reveal the matter: "But Ma Shou, this matter doesn't matter, it's still important to discuss the matter." ”

Seeing this scene, Katsuzi almost vomited three liters of blood.

After Li Xiao beat up the traced Katsuzi, he turned his head to look at Yama County, Bababa, and Naito, and said: "Three adults, I know that there is a big gap between the strength of my family and the Oda Tokugawa army, so you have some concerns, but to determine the outcome of the battle, how can the number of people be determined, so the monks of Honganji Temple are not the first in the world!" ”

After Li Xiao finished speaking, the retainers in the military tent were not only unrestrained.

Li Xiao walked to the center, looked around at the generals, and said: "The army of this family is the elite built with a lifetime of hard work since the ancestor of the lord, and it has been crisscrossing the Kanto region for thirty years, sweeping Hojo, Uesugi, and Imagawa. In terms of combat power, it is the best in the world, how can it be weaker than the sudden rise of Oda. ”

Li Xiao's words made the generals from the Kai system such as Changshan County, Baba, and Naito all one.

The Takeda Army has been in the Kanto region for 30 years, the first in the world, which is the pride of the Kai generals. And the Oda army is just an upstart, except for the stabbing narrows, Nobunaga's previous battles, which time did not rely on more people to oppress people.

Li Xiao continued: "My Hida Echichu Army is not a weak brigade, 20,000 troops are hard to shake the Oda army, although it is not enough to say that it will win, but it also has a certain chance of victory, it just depends on whether there is determination or not, make this fight!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is no such thing as a battle in the world with complete certainty. Fifty years in the world, Changxiao is only one day, this victory, the family will enter the world, if defeated, I Li Xiao also swear here, I will never leave this place, and live and die with this family! ”

After listening to Li Xiao's words, the three of Shan County Changjing, Baba Xinfang, and Naito Changfeng all glanced at each other, and said in unison: "Since Lord Danma Shou does not spare his life, we have no opinion, and I am willing to fight with all our strength to repay the Lord's kindness!" ”

The audience was determined to fight the Oda army tomorrow, and at this time, Takeda Katsuyori's confidence was also greatly increased, Huo Ran got up and said: "Everyone, since this is the case, after tomorrow, the whole army will attack the Oda army, and before sunset, defeat Oda Tokugawa!" ”

"Oh!" In the military tent, the generals agreed with a bang.
