Chapter 367: Decisive Again in Kawanakajima

Outside Matsukura Castle, Naoe Keitsuna and Kawada Nagakin's army were destroyed.

The determination to resist in Matsukura Castle was also shattered.

After seeing that the general situation had gone, the castle general Shiina Kei sighed and took the initiative to surrender to the Takeda army.

In the end, Shiina Jingnao and the 17 Uesugi famous generals who refused to surrender were cut in front of the battle in exchange for the X-NG lives of the soldiers of the city.

And the governor of the Shiina family, Yasuyin Shiina killed two singers, and self-harmed in a side hall in the city.

The Takeda Army took advantage of the situation and captured Matsukura Castle.

However, for Li Xiao, the price of this battle was not small, annihilating the 5,000 Yuehou army outside the city, and paying the price of more than 1,000 casualties, most of which were caused by the Naoe Jinggang team.

After the capture of Matsukura Castle, Li Xiao immediately wrote a letter, preparing to report the news to Takeda Shingen, who was facing off on Kawanaka Island.

However, before the letter was sent, Li Xiao learned the news that Xinxuan fell ill on Kawanaka Island, which was no less than a bolt from the blue for Li Xiao.

The letter said that Shingen was very ill, and although there was no obstacle to X-NG's life, Danshi could no longer handle military affairs, so he gave the important task of leading the army to Takeda Katsuyori, Takasaka Masanobu, and Baba Nobubo.

In all fairness, under the guidance of Li Xiaozhi, although Katsuyori has grown a lot compared to history, Li Xiao does not think that Katsuyori's current military strategy can defeat Uesugi Kenshin, who is the best in the world.

In the Takeda and Uesugi armies facing off in Kawanakajima, the combat strength of the two armies is about the same, and the two sides can be said to be evenly matched.

After Li Xiao received the letter, he immediately made a decision, he left Jinbao Nagaken to garrison Matsukura Castle, and then ordered Shima Katsutoshi to quickly move his army north to join him.

And Li Xiao himself led the main force of the Hida Echichu Army out of the battle, attacked to the east, the front line of Uozu Castle, and prepared to go straight to Echigo.

Li Xiao is now going to quickly attack Echigo, and when Takeda Katsuyori and Uesugi Kenshin have not yet fought a decisive battle, he will flank Chun Riyama Castle and confront the main force of the Takeda Army on Kawanakajima, forming a front and rear flank attack.

Kawanakajima.

Uesugi Army Main Formation, Chausu Mountain.

Kenshin Uesugi held the envelope in his hand and looked at it for a while, silent for a while.

A deep sense of silence fell on him.

"Naoe Yamato Mamoru died under Matsukura Castle."

As soon as the words fell, the letter paper in Uesugi Kennobu's hand was thrown to the ground, and there was a trace of choking in his words.

In the tent, the general of the Uesugi army fell into a deathly silence.

Uesugi Kenshin turned his gaze to the generals and said: "When Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru died in Shirane Mountain, they had broken one of my arms, and today's death of Naoe, I am like losing my heart and lungs, and I can no longer live. ”

"And Kawada Feng Qianshou, and my confidant's favorite general, both wise and brave, and very young, originally I have been putting him in Yuezhong to experience, in the future, there will be a plan to entrust the things behind him to him, no xiangdao also left me first."

Uesugi Kenshin's words fell into the military tent, and the generals of the Uesugi family were all sympathetic when they heard it, Naoe Jingzuna, and Kawada Changqin were both temporary generals of the Uesugi family.

After Xiangdao succeeded Kakizaki Jingjia and Murakami Yoshikiyo, it was folded in the hands of Li Xiaozhi.

At this time, the elder of the family, who was sitting in the third place of the first m-n group on the right, Uesugi Jingxin said: "The lord, Naoe, Kawada's death, for my Uesugi family, is indeed a huge loss, Danshi these two, plus Shiina Jingnao, are the generals of my defense in Vietnam, after the three of them died in battle, Yuezhong has become an empty place, and there is no longer a military force that can stop Li Xiaozhi, and the top priority now is to deal with it, and the Takeda family is flying in the Yuezhong Army. ”

Jingsheng, the first seat of the retainers of the m-n, said: "Father, Li Xiao is the first fierce general of the Takeda Army, after Naoe was killed in battle, I have no other than my father to defeat him, and now Li Xiao is attacking Echigo all the way and threatening Chun Rishan Castle, which is in a dangerous situation for our army. ”

"Saito Shimonomoru what do you think?"

Uesugi Kenshin stared at the second seat of the retainers on the left, and Saito Asanobu, who had been sitting quietly.

Saito Asanobu was hit by the iron cannon of the Takeda Army during the last Vietnamese-Chinese joint battle, and he recuperated for more than half a year.

After recovering from this illness, although he went out of Kawanakajima with Kenshin Uesugi, Danshi's face was still a little pale, and it was obvious that he had not fully recovered. …,

Saito Asanobu coughed slightly, and said: "With Li Xiaozhi's use of troops, he must quickly enter Yuezhong, and form a flanking attack on our army as soon as possible. The lord, you can order the Xuanyuan people, as well as the Yamamoto Temple Iyomori of Fudo Mountain Castle to fight, block the attack here, and delay Li Xiao's entry into Echigo. ”

"However," Saito Asanobu hesitated, and then replied, "In my personal opinion, with the strength of the Xuanyuan people and Iyomori, Li Xiao cannot be stopped for long, and the lord should be prepared for this." ”

After listening to Saito Asanobu's analysis, all the generals nodded silently.

Li Xiao's Hida Echichu Army has tens of thousands of troops, and in the situation that the main force of Echigo is hanging out, this military force can already sweep through Echigo.

"Lord, instead of waiting like this, it is better to have a decisive battle with Xinxuan on the opposite side, if you can take the risk of defeating the main force of the Takeda Army, and then turn around and defeat Li Xiao in a battle, won't all the crises be resolved?"

"Anyway, at the moment, we are also cornered, if we sit and wait, we can only be caught in the passive situation of the Takeda family, rather than this, it is better to give it a go."

The person who spoke was Gan Ya Jingji, and this person was currently the only one left among the four heavenly kings of Uesugi.

The words of Gan Yajing made all the generals of the Uesugi family present move, and his meaning was to give up the confrontation with the main force of the Takeda Army and hold a decisive X-ng battle to determine the winner or loser.

Deciding on the X-Ng battle is a big gamble to win the national games.

"Jing Zhi's words are exactly what I want. Those who do not die and fight live, and those who do not die and fight will die. Uesugi Kenshin's words were loud and clear.

Suddenly, in the military tent, all the generals of the Uesugi army rose up and shouted: "Those who do not die and fight live, and those who do not die and fight will die." We are willing to follow the lord and fight to the death. ”

Uesugi Kenshin waved his hand and said, "Pass the order, and tomorrow the whole army will go out and fight to the death with the Takeda family."

On September 15, nine years after the Fourth Bloody Battle of Kawanakajima.

At six o'clock in the morning, the fog on the island of Kawanaka covered the sky, cutting off the field of vision, and faintly, there seemed to be the sound of golden drums to be heard.

The 22,000 Takeda Army chose to deploy on the southern bank of the Chikuma River, on the same shore as Kaijin Castle.

Coincidentally, Mt. Tsuma NV was the main camp of the Uesugi army at the time of the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima.

On the other hand, the previous Uesugi Army's main formation, Chausu Mountain, was also the main formation of the Takeda Army during the last joint battle.

This time, the two armies switched positions and set up their own positions.

At present, the 18,000-strong army of the Uesugi Army is slowly crossing the Chikuma River and attacking the Takeda Army's main camp.

The sixth battle of Kawanakajima is about to break out.
