In the fourth battle of Kawanakajima, there are two masters of the art of war who are called one dragon and one tiger in this warring state, and they met at this moment.

Although he clashed with the defense line of the Takeda Army all the way, Uesugi Kenshin still had twelve horsemen by his side at the moment. He himself was holding a two-foot-four-inch-five-point famous knife 'Shunqing Changguang', and the famous horse under his crotch was 'releasing Maoyue', and seeing that Takeda Shingen himself was only surrounded by a few entourage guards, he realized that this was indeed the best opportunity to obtain Shingen's head.

Although Takeda Shingen can be called a warrior [***], he is not a brave and good fighter, and how can his martial arts be comparable to Kenshin. Uesugi Kenshin did not hesitate for a moment, and personally rode his horse straight to Takeda Shingen.

A Takeda samurai, who was loyal to the lord, shouted loudly, and stepped forward to stop Uesugi Kenshin, but was split by the other party with a knife and fell heavily to the ground.

Breaking through the barrier, Uesugi Kenshin clamped his legs, and released Mao Yue worthy of being a famous horse, and he was approaching in front of Takeda Shingen in a flash, and at this time, the attendants beside Takeda Shingen had already scattered the cavalry. Takeda Shingen had no choice but to go into battle in person, and in the face of the waving 'Shunqing Changguang', he blocked the first knife with the military equipment in his right hand.

Uesugi Kenshin's second knife directly cut off Takeda Shingen's military equipment, and at this time, Takeda Shingen didn't even have a weapon to cover, and the third knife that followed happened to cut Shingen's right shoulder armor, slashing his right arm.

The soldiers of the Takeda Army were unable to catch up, and saw that Takeda Shingen was about to die under Uesugi Kenshin's men.

Just as Uesugi Kenshin was about to raise his sword again, he suddenly saw a war horse break through the curtain like a sharp knife and rush directly into Takeda Shingen's main formation, and the four hooves of the war horse flew and splashed dust on the ground.

"Hugh the injured lord."

With this earth-shattering roar, the military general on the war horse danced and stabbed directly on the buttocks of Uesugi Kenshin's beloved horse 'Fang Sheng Maoyue'. 'Releasing Mao Yue' hissed after eating pain, and ran uncontrollably for a few steps, just in time for his fourth knife not to be cut.

Uesugi Kenshin hurriedly regained control of the 'release of Mao Yue' and turned his head to look, only to see that this military general on a war horse was extremely burly, and the other party did not wear a helmet, but from the other party's hairstyle, it looked quite strange, and it was not like the samurai of this era, who either shaved his head half-moon, or tied his hair into a bun.

The samurai who rescued the driver before the battle was naturally Li Xiao.

Li Xiao rode on a horse, protected Takeda Shingen behind him, and then pointed at Uesugi Kenshin and said: "I am Li Xiao, a Ming warrior hired by the Takeda family, and I want to fight to the death with Your Excellency." ”

As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, the surrounding Takeda Uesugi soldiers were suddenly stunned. Li Xiao actually wanted to 'have a discussion' with Uesugi Kenshin.

He said that he called the battles of all military generals on the battlefield 'one horse fight'. 'One Ride' is simply a heads-up, and you must not fake your hands to help others, but only rely on the personal courage of the two generals to decide the victory.

For example, the 'Three Heroes Battle of Lu Bu' staged in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms must not appear here, even if the side that wins by relying on the number of people will be despised, which is an insult to the personality of the samurai.

This challenge between the samurai is naturally something that cannot be avoided as a fighter, otherwise it will be regarded as timidity.

Uesugi Kenshin naturally refused to retreat, laughed for a long time, and said: "Very good, it turns out that I am a samurai from the Ming Kingdom, and I am Uesugi head Keihu." ”

"General, he is just a warrior of the Ming Kingdom, how can he be worthy of competing with the general, please let me Arakawa Nagami fight." One of the samurai under the command of Uesugi Kenshin said loudly. Uesugi Kenshin was about to speak, and at this time, Li Xiao drove his horse and rushed away, where was he willing to let go of the opportunity to 'ride a bargain' with Uesugi Kenshin.

Li Xiao clamped his legs around the war horse, swept across a strong wind, and danced towards Uesugi Qianxin. Uesugi Kenshin calmly dealt with it, and used 'Shunqing Changguang' to cross Li Xiaoyi**, only to hear a crisp and neat poof, and the two of them were evenly matched in this blow.

After Uesugi Kenshin blocked Li Xiao's blow, he slashed at Li Xiao's shoulder with a backhand, Li Xiao leaned back, hung on his horse, and struck this blow again, but the heads of the horses on both sides had already staggered between his breaths.

Good, good! Uesugi Kenshin Chen praised twice, he is known as the god of war, but his own force is not weak. In between, Uesugi Kenshin pulled his horse back, urging the war horse to turn around and rush like a lightning bolt, and another knife slashed at Li Xiao.

After all, Li Xiao was still not good at equestrianism, and he controlled the war horse in a hurry, and when he re-drove the war horse to fight, he was already a step slower.

Uesugi Kenshin used the momentum of the war horse, his arms clenched 'Shunqing Changguang' and struck hard, Li Xiao parried improperly, and the whole person was chopped off the horse by Uesugi Kenshin.

After Li Xiao stood still on the ground in embarrassment, Uesugi Kenshin pulled back the horse's head and swung the 'Shunqing Changguang' knife straight at Li Xiao's head. At the critical moment, Li Xiao could only roll on a donkey with no samurai image, avoiding Uesugi Kenshin's knife, and then looked at Uesugi Kenshin's back, but his backhand used the side of the ** pole to slam Uesugi Kenshin's left shoulder.

"General." The samurai of the Echigo army saw that Uesugi Kenshin was hit by Li Xiao, and he didn't care about the spirit of a samurai, so he hurriedly came to the rescue.

And the soldiers rescued by the Takeda Army on this side also arrived, and the main generals on both sides were protected by Tuan Tuan.

Although Uesugi Kenshin was hit by Li Xiao's blow, he was not injured much, and after looking up to the sky and smiling, he decisively rode his horse and retreated from the Takeda army's main formation.

Li Xiao did not want to rewrite this battle of Kawanakajima from the 'one horse discussion' of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin to the consciousness of Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin's 'one horse discussion'. In the bottom of his heart, he just wanted to get the head of Uesugi Kenshin, but unfortunately because of his poor equestrian skills, after chasing for a while, he was never able to catch up with the famous horse 'Mao Sheng Fangyue' where Uesugi Kenshin sit, and finally the scoundrel could only pull out his horse and retreat to Takeda Shingen's main camp.

After Uesugi Qianxin left, Li Xiao hurriedly dismounted with a remorseful expression of late arrival of the protector, came to Xinxuan, and said, "Lord, it's too late for your subordinates." ”

Takeda Shingen's face was quite pale, and he nodded slightly and said, "No, you're fine." If it weren't for you, I, Takeda Shingen, would have died in Hachimangahara. ”

Li Xiao saw that Takeda Yoshinobu and more than a dozen of their subordinates had also arrived at Takeda Shingen early, and happened to see the scene of Li Xiaoyong fighting Uesugi Kenshin, and now he was also standing on the side, looking quite embarrassed.

Takeda Shingen turned his head and glanced at his eldest son, his face instantly sank, as if he thought of the death of the fierce general Zhujiao Huding, and the corners of his mouth moved as if he wanted to scold Takeda Yoshinobu.

And at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves outside the formation sounded, and Li Xiao looked at it, and it turned out to be Kansuke Yamamoto. Li Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, remembering the guilt of Yamamoto Kansuke for Takeda Shinshige, who died in battle, and his own plan was discovered by Uesugi Kenshin to apologize, and finally rushed into the Echigo army and died.

Could it be that he deceived the corpse? This thought instantly slipped through Li Xiao's mind.

Although Yamamoto Kansuke is lame, he is steady on his horse, and the sword in his right hand is still stained with blood, apparently returning from a fight.

As soon as he saw that Shingen was injured, he immediately turned over and dismounted, knelt down in front of Takeda Shingen, and said: "My lord, I blame my subordinates for their strategic mistakes, and the plan was seen through by Uesugi Kenshin, which affected the lord's wounded and the heavy casualties of the soldiers, and I am willing to apologize." ”

Although Takeda Shingen's face was pale, he pushed away the small surname he served, stood up and held Yamamoto Kansuke's shoulder, and said: "No, Kansuke, the tenacious struggle of my Takeda army has supported the offensive of the Echigo army, and now that the tide of the battle has turned to our advantage, your plan is not a failure." ”

Kansuke Yamamoto said with a look of shame: "My lord, I." ”

At this time, it seemed that the situation of the attack on Shingen's main camp was detected, and each of the fighting military formations sent detachments to support.

Takeda Shingen said loudly: "Put up the banner of my Shingen, it means that I am safe and sound, and the whole army does not have to take care of this formation, and must cut off the head of the rear army." ”

At this time, a centipede rider on the front line came quickly, turned over and fell off his horse and fell down to Takeda Shingen, and said: "Lord, Shin Fangong is seriously injured. ”

As soon as these words fell, Takeda's main camp suddenly fell silent.

The battle at Hachimangabara was nearing its end, and Uesugi Kenshin had returned to the Echigo army safe and sound, and now the Echigo army was retreating near Zenkoji Temple, and the Takeda army was following in pursuit.

When Li Xiao arrived on horseback, Takeda Nobutoyo, Takeda Nobunaga, and Takeda Katsuyori were surrounding Takeda Nobuhiro.

"Xin Fangong, how did you get hurt?" Li Xiao said loudly, although the contact time was very short, he could feel the care and concern of Takeda Nobuhiro for him, and he would never want Takeda Nobuyoshi to go like this.

"Uncle, I was hit by a stray bullet from an iron cannon during the pursuit." Katsuyori Takeda looked up and explained.

Li Xiao was taken aback when he heard this, in this era, the probability of death is very high, not because the projectile is fatal, but mainly because of the problem of wound infection.

For example, in the Battle of Sekigahara, the Tokugawa family's 'red ghost' Ii Naomasa and Tokugawa Ieyasu's fourth son, Matsudaira Tadashi, both died of injuries caused by projectiles.

Takeda's wound was on his right shoulder, and now military doctors and pharmacists are busy removing the projectile and bandaging it with a clean wound to stop the infection. What is the fate of Xin Fan in the future, it is only up to him.

The remnant sun went west, and the Hachiman Plains were plated with a layer of blood, Li Xiao looked at it, there were headless corpses everywhere, and the remnants of the halberd were broken, and the scene in front of him at this time could only be described with a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
