Chapter 557: Flesh and Blood

Yuichi Nojiri shouted savagely, bringing Ijiro back to his senses.

After all, this is not the first time he has been in battle.

Ijiro settled down, took the gun, and most importantly, there was foaming in his mouth.

This is the difference between a veteran and a new recruit on the battlefield.

Ijiro's eyes were fixed on the gap in the castle wall, and he rushed in silently in his heart.

On the city wall, the bows and arrows and projectiles of the Shibata army were still slashing at the crowd of the Takeda army.

On top of the castle walls, Sakuma Nobumori tore his throat, waved his sword, and yelled at the crowd, "Shoot! Shoot! Don't stop! ”

The samurai of the Shibata Army, as well as the generals, could not look at it.

The iron cannon commander directly took an iron gunner, who was hurriedly filling ammunition, to the front of him, and directly snatched the iron cannon from his subordinates to fill the ammunition himself.

And the bow-footed light ones are even more vigorous, and even break the bowstring, or cut their fingers.

"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste."

Sakuma Morimasa shouted angrily, despite the desperate shooting of the Shibata army on the castle wall.

However, it is still impossible to suppress the impact of the Takeda Army.

Rumble! Rumble!

The sound of stone shattering came from Sakuma Morimasa's side, and it turned out that the Takeda army had a six-pounder cannon and fired at close range.

Almost with a cannon on his shoulder, he fired at the walls of the Shibata army.

The Takeda Army's six-pounder gun, after being lifted into the distance, also strengthened its bombardment power, and the stone bullets and lead bullets that were sprayed hit the stone wall. It also hit the stone chips and splashed them on all sides.

As soon as he was not careful, several Shibata soldiers were cut in the eyes.

Sakuma Morimasa couldn't help but take a step back.

The Takeda army attacked.

……

Sagami country.

In the middle of a farmstead.

Takeda Nobuyoshi, who was wearing armor, lowered his head and pinched a handful of dirt.

Nobuyoshi Takeda put this handful of soil in his hand and grinded it carefully. The wet soil suddenly turned into pieces, and Takeda Nobuyoshi's hands peeled off.

"The land of Kanto is so fertile!"

Takeda Nobuyhiro couldn't help but sigh.

After saying this, Takeda Nobuyhiro clapped his hands. Immediately, he was given a dry towel to wipe his hands.

Takeda Nobuyoshi was beside Takeda Nobushi, following him closely.

"The land of Kanto is not only fertile, but also the land of samurai, and it is the capital to seize hegemony." Takeda said quietly.

Takeda Nobuyoshi glanced at Takeda Nobuyo, nodded, and said, "Not bad." The Hojo family dominates the Kanto region, and according to the land of Kamakura, it is a big problem for the family. If I don't suppress Hojo, I won't be able to sleep in peace. ”

After saying that, Takeda Nobuyoshi. Takeda Nobuyoshi and the others came to a hill, and there was a cheerful look in front of them.

This plain is the eastern part of the Kanto Plain, and the river traffic in front of you is a good open land.

Although now due to the war, the local people have fled. There is less cultivation by farmers, but the fertility of the land can still be seen.

Takeda Nobuyoshi held a horsewhip and said to Takeda Nobuyoshi, "I am a Kai Shinano mountain. Where is this open place. ”

"In Sagami country, there is Mt. Ashigara outside, Mt. Hakone can be sheltered by natural hazards, and there are plains as good assets inside, so it's no wonder that Hojo Sakumo has achieved the hegemony of the Hojo family today."

Takeda Nobuyoru nodded silently at his brother's words.

Look at this majestic mountain landscape. Takeda Nobuyoshi did not hide his ambition in his heart, and said sharply: "After suppressing Hojo in this battle. I will have Hojo cut off Mt. Ashigara, Mt. Hakone, and the land of Musashi Bankoku in order to weaken it. ”

"Why don't you destroy it in one battle, and leave it behind?" Nobuyoru Takeda asked rhetorically.

Takeda Nobuhiro smiled slightly, and said: "The foundation of this family in the Kanto region is not thick, and Hojo suddenly perished, and it will only be the two families of Da Date and Satake, which may not be good for the family." So I'm going to leave Hojo and let the Kanto group heroes, phase...,

Mutual containment, neither of them is a climate! ”

Hearing Takeda Nobuyoshi say this, Takeda Nobuyoshi suddenly realized, and admired Takeda Nobuyoshi's foresight very much.

Speaking of this, Takeda Shinfan's rosary bar snapped quickly, and said: "After winning this battle, support the three families of Satake, Yuuki, and Utsunomiya, contain Hojo, and turn the Kanto forces into it, so that with a stable rear, the family can rest assured that Shangluo will seize the world." ”

The mountain breeze blew and hung up the monk's robe under Takeda Nobuyoshi's armor.

This time is not just like the strategy of Xinfan, the outside is mighty, the inside is soft, and a strong and a soft side is the way of power and strategy.

However, Takeda Nobuyoru still had a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "It's too early for my brother to say that he has won now, my family is far from winning, and the retainers are also very worried about this, and they have come to ask my brother many times. ”

"Please be fair, brother, what are the chances of our Takeda family winning this battle?"

Takeda Nobuyoshi glanced at Takeda Nobuyo, frowned and asked, "Sun Liu, don't you have confidence in me either?" ”

Takeda Nobuyoshi said straightforwardly: "Brother, military affairs are not something that can be excused by the word confidence. ”

Takeda Nobuhiro took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth, if you only use the strength of the main family and the Satake family to fight against the Hojo family, the chances of winning are less than forty percent!" ”

"But if Date can go into battle, the odds of victory can be as high as sixty percent, do you understand?"

After hearing this, Takeda Nobuyoshi nodded silently, and Takeda Nobuyoshi had no subjective bias at all.

When Takeda Shingen and Hojo Shiyasu were both alive, Takeda Shingen also relied on the alliance of Satake and Satomi to fight, and Fang and Hojo had a slight upper hand.

The situation is not much the same.

It was waiting for Takeda Nobuyoshi and Takeda Nobuyoshi to discuss.

A samurai rushed up the hill and reported to the two: "Your Highness Chaoyue, Your Highness Xiaoyaoxuan, and Oda Nobutada have gathered the four major legions directly under the Oda family,, Ise, and Sanyoyama, and sent troops to Hokuriku Province to attack the Honjia Hida Echichu Legion that is besieging Kitanosho Castle. ”

Listening to this person's words, Takeda Nobuyoshi and Takeda Nobuyoshi both had great changes in their faces.

Takeda Shinfan's face sank, and he said: "If Li Xiao is defeated." Then the family doesn't even have a chance of winning. ”

"Brother, what's that going to be?" Nobuyoru Takeda asked.

Takeda Nobuyoshi paced slowly, waved his hand, and said, "Send someone as fast as possible immediately." sent a letter to Li Xiao, asking him not to retreat no matter what, otherwise the family will perish. ”

"Tell His Highness Mikawa again and ask him to send troops to put pressure on Owari. Survival is at this moment, and we must not neglect it. ”

"Finally, I told Mieda Moritomo, who was the envoy to the Mogami family, that he could agree to all the conditions of the Mogami family in exchange for peace between Mogami Date."

"Oh!"

After receiving the order, the samurai strode down the mountain.

Takeda Nobuyoru was on the side and said, "Brother, face the main force of the Oda family. Even with Major General Konoe's current strength, I'm afraid he can only retreat head-on. ”

Hearing this, Takeda Shinho looked at the hill at his feet, his face was extremely solemn, and he said softly: "I only hope Li Xiao." I can read it, brother, and under the kindness of the two generations of Shiro, I will be loyal and dedicated, otherwise my Takeda family will only have one way to perish. ”

Hearing what Takeda Nobuyoshi said, Takeda Nobuyoshi could only shake his head silently.

He knew the moment. Even his resourceful brother is powerless.

Now he, with Takeda Nobuyoshi. and the 50,000 soldiers of the Takeda family, they can only pin all their hopes on Li Xiaofei's Etsuchu Legion.

……

On the hill, Li Xiao was silently watching the battle situation in Beizhizhuang City.

The rumbling sound of cannon fire drove the night away.

It's dawn on the horizon.

Li Xiao saw it with his eyes, and the city of Zhuang in the north was at this moment. It's like being trapped in a red tide. …,

The large barrel was on top of the artillery fort, condescendingly covering the bombardment of the whole city. Inflicted heavy casualties on the Shibata army.

And more than that, horror and confusion.

However, as the battle progressed, the Shibata army in Kitanosho Castle had slowly begun to organize itself from the chaos and plunged into a counterattack.

Li Xiao knew that the most critical place in the war was the north of the city, and these three city walls were blasted with explosives.

If you can take the city in one go, you can attack the city in one go.

In this way, the probability of capturing Kitanozhuang Castle in the short term is very high.

Now it's a race against time.

The iron cannons, bows and arrows at the head of the North Sho Castle are densely covered like a storm.

Approaching the city, the Takeda army was light, and they fell one by one, and the corpses were facing each other.

At this time, Li Xiao did not have the slightest kindness of a woman, this was about the legion, and the fate of the battle.

Don't hesitate to die, knowing that there is a mountain of swords and a sea of blood ahead.

One will be a success!

There is no mercy!

"If you die, you live, and if you are lucky, you die!"

Ijiro picked up the bamboo spear and strode forward, and the ashigaru beside him, one after another, was shot down by the bow and arrow iron cannon of the Shibata army.

At this moment, Ijiro has only one thought, to seize the gap in the city wall, and attack it to snatch the victory.

For the sake of the old mother, as well as his wife, and to be able to see the unborn child alive, Ijiro is extremely powerful at this moment.

And the gods blessed him at this moment, and Ijiro lowered his body, lightly picked up the bamboo spear in his hand, and swung his arms in a small way, and from time to time jumped over the corpse in front of him, as light as a monkey walking through the jungle.

"Oh! Break through! ”

I don't know who shouted in front of me, and the waves of people of the Takeda Army finally flooded the open space in front.

After suffering hundreds of casualties, the shock army in front braved the bows and arrows of the Shibata army and climbed to the gap in the wall of the Shibata army.

The soldiers of the Shibata Army rushed to repair the damaged city walls, and on the other hand, they organized several platoons of soldiers to resist the front.

This scene was like a huge wave, crashing head-on into the reef.

Face the music.

The soldiers on both sides faced each other, and each could see the fear and hideous expressions on each other's faces.

At this moment, the soldiers of both sides invariably took out their naginatas and spears at the same time and stabbed each other at the same time.

Almost in the blink of an eye, when Shibata's spear pierced through the body of Takeda in front of him, he also slashed his own body.

The white knife goes in, the red knife comes out, this is simply a life-for-life style of play.

Bobo's blood poured out from Fang Cai's lively body.

As if human life is worthless, this is the meat grinder.
