The seventh day of the Battle of the Cage City of Rock Castle.

Takeda Katsuyori, Li Xiao's Takeda Army soldiers attacked Tengu Maru at night.

Saito Asanobu and Takemata Kiyotsuna commanded the Echigo army to resist very fiercely, and it was not until Li Xiao attacked Tengu Maru from the flank that the tide of the battle changed.

The Tegumaru Echigo army stationed in the tengu pill suffered heavy casualties, and both sides were killed in a sea of corpses and blood, and the blood that flowed almost reached the feet and necks.

Saito Asanobu and Takemata Kiyotsuna fought to the death with their subordinates before they fought a bloody way and picked up a surname.

Although the Takeda army repelled the Echigo army and reoccupied Tengu Maru, it was also a crushing victory for them, with nearly 300 casualties.

Takeda Katsuyori's samurai Ohara Jitada was killed in battle, while Akiyama Nobuaki and Hoshina Masatsuki were seriously injured, and Takeda Katsuyori himself was stabbed in the shoulder, but fortunately he was wearing heavy armor and did not hurt his bones. And the big bear Asahei, Sanada Masayuki also suffered minor injuries.

Although many of the Takeda soldiers were killed in battle, the first thing they did after they captured the Tengu Maru was that the whole army rushed to the well, snatched the buckets, and drank bitterly without any scruples.

Seventh.

After dawn, Tengu Maru only heard the heavy drumming of the Echigo army in the thick fog, which represented the signal to march into the army.

In the thick fog, the field of vision is limited, and after the fog, only the sound of the taiko drum is heard one after another.

When Takeda Jun heard this, he put down the bamboo tube in front of him for drinking, and rushed to the curved wheel of Tengu Maru with his sword and spear, staring at the dense fog with a vigilant look.

After listening to the sound of the drums, there was the sound of horses neighing, and the sound of soldiers and horses mobilizing, the sound of armor colliding, and footsteps came from the direction of the Echigo army's formation, and the sound was terrifying!

Such a large-scale movement was only possible with the general mobilization of the Echigo army.

Takeda Katsuyori, Sanada Masayuki, and Okuma Ashide's faces turned pale at this moment, and at this time, the Togakure ninja who went down the mountain to find out the news returned to Tengu Maru.

He told Takeda Katsuyori, "Uesugi Terutoka's army is out!" ”

This earth-shattering news immediately shook Takeda Katsuyori and Dakuma Chaoxiu in place.

After last night's bloody battle, the current Takeda Army samurai who can hold swords and guns in the Tengu Pill are just over two hundred.

Not to mention that Uesugi Kenshin's own army is out of battle, any new force of the Echigo army is dispatched, and it is enough to capture Iwaki Castle within two hours.

At this moment, even Sanada Masayuki had a look of resignation on his face, and said loudly: "His Royal Highness Huihu is a famous general in the world, and it is also an honor for me to die under him. ”

"I'm not reconciled!" Takeda Katsuyori clenched his fists and just said this in a deep voice.

Daxiong Chao Xiuyi was wearing a samurai armor, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness Katsurai, Lord Li Xiao, Lord Sanada, let's see you at the spring." ”

After speaking, he brushed the ground and pulled out the katana at his waist.

Everyone listened to Daxiong Chaoxiu's words, their lips were tightly closed, they all nodded, and then pulled out the katana beside them, only Li Xiaoshen said: "Not necessarily, there are many iron cannon ammunition and bows and arrows left by the Echigo army in the Tengu Pill, we rely on the advantage of iron cannons and bows and arrows to resist from Tengu Maru, to Ninomaru, Nakajo, and Honmaru, and our army has replenished the water source, luckily, it will be delayed for another day." ”

"But what about a day later?" Someone asked.

Li Xiao shook his head and said, "That's all we can do." ”

The dense fog dissipated, and the army of Uesugi Kenshin's banner on the east side of Iwazuki Mountain began to move, like a black iron stream, slowly descending the mountain, and the army was strict and orderly, worthy of the elite who followed Uesugi Kenshin for many years to fight in the south and the north.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With the beating of the taiko drum.

Uesugi Kenshin's banner army lined up on the plain in front of Iwaki Castle, and when the wind blew, the Ranlong Banner and the Biji Banner hunted and moved above.

Uesugi Kenshin's Banner Army was at the forefront of Iwaki Castle, and the rest of the Echigo Army slowly retreated behind Uesugi Kenshin's Banner Army.

Daxiong Chaoxiu looked at it for a long time and said, "It seems that Uesugi Kenshin is really going to go out in person." ”

"But?" On the side, Hoshina questioned and asked, "But why did the other Echigo troops retreat?" ”

The Takeda generals looked at it together, and saw that the Echigo army was slowly retreating except for Uesugi Kenshin's main formation, and this scene suddenly puzzled the Takeda generals.

Under the banner of the biji, Uesugi Kenshin was dressed in heavy armor, his lips were tightly closed, and his aggressive gaze looked directly at the Takeda Ling banner fluttering in Iwaki Castle.

Usami Dingman, Naoe Minoru and other Echigo generals are the same, and they are stationed together in front of the army and look at the castle, and at this moment, Echigo's fierce general Arakawa Nagami directly angrily threw the horse whip to the ground.

"The Echigo army is really retreating!"

Sanada Masayuki came to a conclusion, including Takeda Katsuyori and Okuma Asahide nodded one after another, not understanding what was happening, speculating about various reasons. Some people even thought that this was another trick by Kenshin Uesugi to let our army relax and attack the castle in one fell swoop.

This statement was immediately scoffed at by the generals of the Takeda family, and Uesugi Kenshin did not need to do anything more than this at the time of his current strength.

The generals of the Takeda family widened their eyes, wanting to see the movements of the Echigo army, and the surname Takeda Katsu Raiso picked up the Qianli Cylinder and looked into the distance.

I saw that the Echigo army regrouped its forces and retreated all the way to the foothills to the west in an orderly manner. And Uesugi Kenshin's own army still stood at the back of the army, standing majestically and unmoving.

"Your Highness, look!"

Ashigaru, a Takeda soldier named Shinhachi, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the east under the hills.

Look at the horizon.

The eyes of the generals of the Takeda Army were attracted and looked there.

Under the hills to the east, it was as if a red tide had risen, first like a thin line, and then like a murmuring stream into a river.

In the distance, a crimson Takeda Ling banner was erected!

The sound of horses' hooves roared like thunder, and the cavalry, dressed in red armor and holding fiery red flags, swept in like a blazing prairie fire.

"Could it be that my Takeda family is a red reserve cavalry?"

The generals of the Takeda army were excited, but they were secretly speculating, but they also knew the relationship between Takeda Katsuyori and Takeda Yoshinobu, and it was hard to believe that Takeda Yoshinobu would come to the rescue at this time.

"No, it's Kohata Akabi!" Katsuyori Takeda can see clearly in the Chisato tube.

The war horses neighed, and the Kohata Red Reserve did not rush on their horses, but maintained a strict formation, and the slow march was obviously also due to the fact that Uesugi Kenshin's army was also taken into account.

On the other side of the mountain, another road of people and horses emerged from the mountain, converging with the Kohata team.

There are all the people and horses riding on this road, and the unified flag is the flag of the Takeda family crest, which is the man and horse of Takeda Nobutoyo, the lord of Kozhujo City.

At this time, the third group appeared, and on the flag of the other general, there were six copper coins painted on it, which were the six coins of the Sanada family's family crest.

Sanada Masayuki's father, the lord of Matsumoto Castle, Sanada Yukitaka, led a large army to reinforcements!

Sanada Yutaka, Kohata Kenshige, and Takeda Nobutoyo are the closest to Azuma-gun.

Seeing that the soldiers and horses of the Takeda Army were gathering more and more, and the retreat of the Rear Army was getting faster, at this time, Uesugi Kenshin's banner, as the Imperial Army, also began to slowly retreat towards the back of the mountain.

"With Sanada-sama's forces, I'm afraid it won't be enough for Uesugi Terutora to retreat!"

Okuma Asahi glanced at Sanada Masayuki and said, "I didn't mean to offend Your Excellency's father, I just told the truth." ”

"Of course not." Katsuyori Takeda interrupted Asahide Okuma.

I saw that under the hills to the east, like a red tide rising from the river, gradually gathered into an ocean.

Countless soldiers and horses continued to pour out from behind the mountain, the armor was bright, and the tips of the spears were like forests, like a great tide, constantly pouring in from all sides.

"It's the army of Lord Takato, who is loyal to the army!"

One of the three bullets of Takeda, the lord of Kaijin Castle, Takama Masanobu, he has the largest troop mobilization force among the retainers of the Takeda Army, and this time he is alone, bringing more than 2,000 reinforcements.

Even the Gaoban Army, which was guarding the direction of Chunyue Mountain City, came out with all the troops.

"It's the Baba Minbu-sama's...... No, there's also Naito's army of repair-samates! ”

When the banner of the Baba Nobubo, known as the Ghost Mino, and the army of Naito Masatyo, known as the deputy general of the Takeda Army, appeared, there was a cheer above the head of Iwaki Castle!

At this moment, the Takeda army of Iwaki Castle was finally convinced that they were saved, and the sound of cheers on the head of the city resounded from the head of the city to the end of the city.

The Takeda soldiers raised the tips of their guns excitedly and shouted around, and several seriously wounded soldiers of the Takeda Army in the city seemed to let go of their thoughts at the moment they heard the cheers, and their eyes closed and passed away.

The three of Takeda's four ministers came at once, and they were all elite generals of the Takeda Army.

In the distance, when Uesugi Kenshin heard the cheers, he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, looked back at the towering Iwaki Castle, and finally sighed, raised his horsewhip, and rode away.

With him, there were more than 10,000 Echigo troops who met under Iwaki Castle.

Sanada Yukitaka, Kohata Kenshige, and Takeda Nobutoyo are the forwards, and they are constantly driving towards Iwaki Castle, followed by Takaban Masanobu, Baba Nobubo, and Naito Masatoyo, the three members of the Takeda family tree generation general, slowly spread out the two wings, and the army is lined up in the direction of the Echigo army to cover Sanada's three teams into the city.

However, with such a large number of troops, not all of the Takeda Army that rushed to reinforce Iwaki Castle was not the entire force.

As the marching taiko drums were beaten, the Takeda army behind the mountain continued to spread out, one after another, and the flags and seals of various colors representing the general followed one after another.

The people at the head of Iwaki Castle were cheering, and the generals of the Takeda army were dumbfounded.

Followed by the lord of Fukashi Castle, the young assistant of the Takeda Criminal Department, and the Takeda Shinlian team,

The lord of Iwaden Mountain Castle, Oyamada Right Guard, Oyamada Nobushige team,

The lord of the Xiashan Pavilion, the head of the cave mountain, the cave mountain letter monarch team,

The lord of Mochizuki Castle, Mochizuki Yuanjiang Shou, Mochizuki Shinnaga team,

The lord of Ueno Castle, a doctor of the right guard, a team of Shinryu,

There are also Ganli Nobutada, Asari Nobu Seed Team, Imafuku Kenbei Team, Ashida Nobuyo Team, Trace Nobuaki Team, and Nishina Shengxin Team one after another, all the way from behind the mountain, and the fish through the board to the bottom of the Iwaki Castle.

This is simply the Takeda family pouring the whole country's troops to rescue? Even the Battle of Kawanakajima had never seen such an unprecedented mobilization.

Takeda Katsuyori took the Qianli Cylinder and looked into the distance, under the protection of the Ganli Shintō team, the shallow Li Shin Seed team, and the two road army forces were slowly marching in, only to see the other party's fluttering flag with 14 characters written on it.

'Swift as the wind, swift as a forest, sweeping as fire, motionless as a mountain. ’

"My God, it's the Wind Forest Volcano Flag!"

The look of shock on Takeda's face was overwhelming.

"It's my lord!"

"It's Your Excellency the Pavilion Master!"

"Lord Xinxuan has personally gone out of battle!"

At this last moment, Takeda Shingen's banner army finally appeared.
