Chapter 399: Personally Out of the Horse
Li Xiao waved his spear in his hand, urging the black forging to rush forward, followed by dozens of flanks and five hundred cavalry reserves, and killed the flank of the cavalry team that killed the Shibata Army.
Li Xiao's side was almost desperately whipping, xiwang followed Li Xiao's mount, and the guard lord was the first in line under their eyes, seeing Li Xiao personally charging into battle, how could they not desperately protect the wings, and at the same time, they also xiwang Li Xiao must not make any mistakes in the battle array.
Of course, Li Xiao understood the thoughts of his subordinates, in history, Gustav the Great was on the battlefield with the dignity of a dignified monarch. He also personally led the cavalry to charge many times, but Danshi was unfortunately shot and killed in the Battle of LΓΌzen.
Li Xiao naturally understands that as a general general, he also has the responsibilities of a general, and charging ahead is just the courage of a horseman, not the position of a general.
At present, the battle situation has entered a white-hot situation, and the difference between victory and defeat is in sight, and at present, as the general general, Li Xiaoxin feels that he needs to go to the first battle to kill the enemy and personally boost morale.
Li Xiao's eye-catching armor immediately attracted the attention of the Oda Army's horseback warriors.
When they heard all the soldiers of the Takeda Army shouting this person as the lord, even a fool knew that this person was the number one general under Takeda Shingen, but Ma Shou - Li Xiao.
No, this is not Li Xiao, for the soldiers of the Oda Army, this is simply a glittering golden statue.
Before the war, Shibata Katsuya had already passed on Nobunaga's order, saying that anyone who killed or captured Li Xiao alive would be rewarded with 100,000 stones.
Even if it was an ordinary ashigaru who was courting Li Xiao, he could immediately change his identity and become a 100,000-stone-level daimyo from a white body.
This is simply the treatment of the lord of the half-country, even a person of Shibata Katsuya's status, hearing this reward is also tempting, not to mention the rest of the Shibata army samurai.
Seeing Li Xiao himself going into battle in person, the Shibata Army samurai couldn't help but have the idea of 'Mom and Dad gave birth to me once and fought hard' in his mind.
Li Xiao didn't know that his appearance would make such a change in the battle situation.
The samurai of the Shibata Army, who had originally entered the Takeda Army's formation, gave up the pursuit, turned their horses' heads, and killed the Takeda Army's cavalry team.
Li Xiao was like a big magnet at this moment, attracting all the Shibata Army samurai who dreamed of obtaining a reward of 100,000 stones.
The cavalry of the two armies suddenly encountered each other in the center, and sparks burst out in an instant.
At this moment, Li Xiao is not half special, even with Li Xiao's current identity, he is no different from ordinary ashigaru on the battlefield.
There will be no 400,000 stone daimyo on his body, and the buff bonus of force will only be able to rely on himself with a knife and a gun now.
Facing the cavalry warriors of the Shibata Army who rushed to kill, Li Xiao was fearless, and the black forging under him was as fast as lightning, throwing off the side of him, and taking the lead in riding into the Shibata Army formation.
When the two warriors of the Shibata Army saw that Li Xiao did not need the protection of his subordinates, he dared to ride in alone, and his face suddenly turned incredible.
He couldn't believe that good luck would favor them so much, and in an instant, both of them were carried away by the huge reward, and their faces showed hideous expressions, and they slashed at Li Xiao with a sword in their horses.
When the three horses are staggered.
The spear in Li Xiao's hand jumped up like a dragon, the body of the spear was instantly straightened, and the spear head in his hand was like a golden rooster nodding indiscriminately.
And another Shibata family samurai who rode with him, seeing that Li Xiao killed his companion, he was not angry but happy, he thought that it would take time for Li Xiao to pull out the gun, but after Li Xiao shot and killed a person, the head of the gun slid downward, and after dodging the opponent's knife with his back on the horse, he picked the other party off the horse with a return gun.
As soon as Li Xiao made a move, the follow-up warriors of the Shibata Army, who were intent on courting Li Xiao, looked at it with a straight eye for a while.
This person's martial arts skills are too high.
But Li Xiao didn't care at all, and the horse still didn't stop.
I saw that the big gun in Li Xiao's hand was like a spiritual snake out of a hole, it seemed to be as soft as a cloud belt, dancing in the air, but in fact, the guns and guns were not missing, and the horseback warriors of the Shibata Army were picked off their horses one after another.
Li Xiao's gun did not stop, killing one person, pulling out the gun and stabbing another person, without stopping, as if the general of the ancient times broke into the enemy formation alone, the horseshoe company camp, and the killing was like cutting the grass.
No one in the Shibata army is his general.
Marksmanship is the dragon slaying technique learned by the rise of the warrior in the troubled times, so there is a storyteller Zhao Zilong, Yue Fei rode into the battle alone, and a big gun danced so that there was no gap in the whole body, and he died if he touched it. The legend of taking the head of a general among the hosts. β¦,
Li Xiao's spear skills are passed down from the old cadres, although he is now increasingly high and powerful, and rarely goes to the battlefield in person, but he is not weaker than at the peak, when he dared to lead sixty cavalry to rush to the 8,000 army of the Shanshan Army in Baigen Mountain, and now there are 500 iron cavalry under his command, and he is not afraid of the Shibata Army.
The Takeda Army's cavalry team was guarding Li Xiao in order to be safe, and when they saw that the lord was so brave to champion the three armies, they also fought for their lives at the moment, wielding a knife to cut the Shibata Army samurai off their horses one by one.
The iron cannon of the western phalanx was also reloaded, and several people raised their iron cannons in groups to shoot at the horseback samurai of the Shibata Army galloping in front of the formation.
Shibata Katsuya, who was approaching at the end of the battle, also saw the battle situation here from a distance, and when he saw it, Li Xiao, the general of the Takeda Army, personally went into battle and led his 500 cavalry to kill the Shibata Army cavalry team to pieces.
In an instant, the remnants of the Shibata army's cavalry team, Yijing, retreated from in front of the Takeda army.
The two teams of Kanamori Nagajin and Baixiang Jiajia, who had rushed forward to pursue, were also repelled by the reorganized Takeda Army's Western Phalanx with iron artillery.
Now he had to cover the defeat of the cavalry team and retreat together, the opportunity to break the formation was lost in a blink of an eye, the Takeda army had regrouped, there was no cavalry breakthrough, the Shibata army could not break through the Takeda army at all, and he was already defeated in this battle.
At this moment, Shibata Katsuya was suddenly dumbfounded.
After half a ring, Shibata Katsuya said: "Everyone says that Li Xiao's bravery, I don't believe it, I am jealous, when I see it today, I really underestimate the heroes of the world." β
"My lord! Don't blame yourself, just blame Li Xiao for being cunning. β
"Lord, since the cavalry team has also failed, why don't we retreat!"
"This Li Xiao is not something we can win, let's ask the main hall to lead the army to fight!"
"Bastard!" Shibata Katsuya shouted angrily and said: "In today's battle, our army was defeated, what face do I have to see the lord!" What is the face of the family who has entrusted their lives to me! β
After saying that, Shibata Katsuya pulled the reins and looked at the Western Phalanx that the Takeda Army had reorganized, and in front of this formation, the corpses of the soldiers of the Shibata Army were piled up.
The broken flags, the fallen horses, and the Shibata soldiers who died in front of the battle.
Now that the Takeda Army has been reorganized, and after riding back into battle, Ashigaru is moving forward, and the flag of the sun and moon begins to move towards the Shibata Army.
Takeda's six phalanxes shouted the password and moved towards the Shibata army, the opponent's lineup was rigorous, and it was obvious that it had completed the recovery of its previous combat strength.
Now that the Takeda Army has regrouped and oppressed the Shibata Army, Kanamori is approaching, and the two teams of Baixiang Jiajia do not know what to do for a while, whether to advance or retreat.
Seeing this, Shibata Katsuya said loudly: "The defeat of this battle is the responsibility of my Shibata, witnessing the death of his subordinates in battle, and my lord will live in secret, it is really a mistake for my Shibata family's name." β
Seeing that Shibata Katsuya had the idea of rushing into the Takeda army to die, everyone was shocked to hear it, this decision represented the honor and determination of a samurai, and if it was discouraged at this time, it would be an insult to Shibata.
Danshi was close to the lord, and these samurai had to accompany Shibata to the battle whether they wanted to or not, that is, to accompany him to death.
At this time, a clever side said closely: "Lord, please cherish this useful body, even if it is a pleasure to die, danshi Li Xiao's formation is so powerful, if there is no way to break it, the main hall, no, my entire Oda family is in danger." Therefore, it is better to report the battle situation here, describe in detail the advantages and disadvantages of Li Xiao's battle methods, and find a flaw to attack. β
"And although the ministers all have the determination to follow the lord to die together, but the Ming Kingdom does not have a proverb 'death is lighter than a feather, and it is also heavier than Mount Tai', it is easy to abandon responsibility and die, Danshi bears all the dishonor to live, and considers the overall situation of the Oda family, this is a real wisdom and bravery!"
Hearing the persuasion of this close person, Shibata Katsuya suddenly trembled, and said: "You are right, I almost missed a big event, what is my Shibata personal honor and disgrace, the key is the entire battle situation of the main hall against the Takeda family, if the Oda family is destroyed, even if I, Shibata die, the land of my descendants will not be able to be blocked in the future." β
Shibata Katsuya quickly made up his mind, waved his horsewhip, and said: "The order will go down, the whole army will retreat, and the banner army and the cavalry will cover behind the palace." β
Shibata Katsuie's mouth twitched slightly when he talked about the horseback team, and the horseback team was now two or three out of ten, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
And Shibata Katsuharu, Shibata Katsuquan, and Yoshida Jibei, the three members of the Shibata family, were all killed in battle, and the loss of relatives is even more of a trance for the Shibata Katsu family now. β¦,
Among the generals of the Oda army, except for Shibata, no one has such a large number of elite cavalry teams, and the power of the Shibata Katsuya is greatly damaged at the moment.
"Tell the Lord! The Shibata Army has retreated! β
"Oh?" Li Xiao was a little surprised when he heard the report of the Monomi, he originally thought that with Shibata's fierce character in history, he would fight to the death with him.
However, at the last moment of Li Xiao's battle, didn't Shibata also let his subordinates die and flee for his life? I was immediately relieved.
"My lord, did you order a pursuit?"
After Li Xiao saw Shibata Katsuya personally leading the flag of the army, he thought for a while and said, "No need. β
This is also no way, the Western Phalanx itself moves slowly and is not suitable for pursuit, so Li Xiaocai has always said that the Western Phalanx is enough to defend, but it cannot win.
And the cavalry that can now be used for pursuit has suffered a lot of losses in the battle just now, and now there is not much chance of victory in the face of the new force of the Banner Army led by Shibata Katsuya himself.
So Li Xiao gave up the plan to pursue, anyway, this battle was enough to severely defeat the spirit of the Oda army.
Since then, Li Xiao's name is enough to make the children of Mino-Owari and the two countries dare not cry when they hear it.
As the saying goes, if you see a good thing, you will accept it, the Takeda army marched and fought fiercely for a day, and its physical strength was already exhausted, and it would not be good if it ran into Oda army reinforcements again.
At present, what Li Xiao has to do is to turn around and attack Kajida City, take down this Sino-American city, and realize the connection between Ogilino and East Minon, which is the real benefit that can be held in his hands.
