Kawada Naga personally held a sword, looking at the position of the Naoe Keixuna team's main formation, the samurai of the Naoe army were light, under the threat of thick smoke and fire, they rushed down the mountain in embarrassment, and all the weapons and flags were thrown aside, without the slightest appearance of an elite division.

Soon after, the Naoe Army's main formation was engulfed by this mountain fire, and the entire mountain was covered with raging fires.

The samurai around Kawada Nagajin were all dumbfounded, and at the same time, they were also shocked by the Takeda army's fire attack plan.

A Echigo Ashigaru general said: "Lord Naoe, I can be regarded as a battle-hardened general in Echigo, but I didn't expect to be careless for a while, but I still fell for the tricks of the Takeda army. ”

Kawada waved his hand and said: "On the battlefield, the outcome is unpredictable, and if we are not careful, our reputation will be ruined, and we need to learn from it." ”

Kawada Naga said this, turned around and said loudly, "Pass the order and continue to attack the Jimbo Army." ”

The ashigaru general said, "But this fire ......."

"Bypassing the fire is to be," Kawada Naga directly interrupted, his eyes looked at the main formation of the Jimbo Army like a knife, and said, "This fire will be uncontrollable, and it will also burn the opponent's main formation, in this case, the Takeda Army will also be affected by the fire, and will be in chaos, so we will take the opportunity to attack." ”

"Besides, if you want to defeat the opponent, how can you not take any risks at all, let the Jimbo army see the decision of my Echigo army."

Fearing the disaster, the Divine Protection Army hastily withdrew from its camp.

At this time, Jimbo Nagaken saw that the Uesugi Army's Kawada Nagakina team bypassed the fire and attacked directly at the Jimbo Army.

Honda Masatin was riding a horse, and when he saw this scene, he said to Jimpo Nagaken: "None of the generals under Uesugi Teruhu are easy people, this Kawada Naga is really a fierce general, and he still wants to fight with our army under the situation of this fire Shaoshan, and he is not worried that his subordinates will be involved in this fire." ”

"I think Kawada Naga is going to fight our army with such momentum," Jimbo Nagaken also said, "Anyway, if we move the battlefield, there is a small stream nearby that can block the fire, and we can meet the Uesugi army here." ”

Honda Masashi said: "I'm not worried about Kawada's team, but I'm worried that if Naoe Keixuna completes the army again, our army will be in danger if he strikes twice. ”

Listening to Honda's words, Shenbao Nagaken frowned and said: "Since this is the case, there is nothing to say, and it is only necessary to fight hard, and it is necessary to avoid the fire first." ”

The Takeda army had just withdrawn from the creek and had not yet lined up its position, the Uesugi army led by Kawada Nagajin had already been killed, attacking the Takeda army and gaining a firm foothold.

As a rising star of the Uesugi generals, the Uesugi army under the command of Kawada Nagajin attacked very fiercely.

As soon as it attacked the Jinbo army's phalanx, this Uesugi army was like a tiger entering the mountain, unstoppable.

Although the Jimbo army had the advantage in numbers, for a while, it was still defeated by the rapid offensive of the Uesugi army.

And the Terashima Jobada, which bore the brunt of the attack, did not support for long and was first routed by the Uesugi army, and Terashima Jobada's attempt to regroup the defeated army was shot in the right shoulder by Kawada Nagakina himself.

After being saved by his close attendants, Terashima was saved from being cut off by the Uesugi army who rushed on the spot.

After defeating the Terashima Jobal Formation, the Uesugi Army turned to attack the Mizugoshi Mori Heavy Force, but at this time, the hastily assembled Half Banner Squadron led by Jimbo Nagaken himself had completed the detour to the right flank of the Uesugi Army.

Jimbo Nagaken personally led the army to assault the right flank of Kawada Nagakin's army.

Considering that the right flank was threatened, Kawada Nagajin had to shrink the battle line and adjust his forces to deal with the surprise attack of Jimbo Nagaken.

At this time, the Jimbo Army stopped the initial passive beating situation, regrouped its troops, and launched an attack on the Uesugi Army.

Only then did the battle between the two armies drag into a draw, and they launched an attack on each other, and they could not hold each other for a while.

But for this scene, the whole of the Shenbao Army, including Shenbao Changxian, were very anxious.

Because they knew that if they didn't defeat the current Kawada Nagakina team as soon as possible, then when Naoe's Keixuna team recovered from the predicament of escaping the fire, they would regroup their forces and go into battle.

Then with the addition of this military force, the current stalemate and equilibrium between the two armies will be broken, and the Shenbao army will be defeated under the attack of the two Shenbao armies.

This situation is clear to the generals of the two armies of Jimbo and Uesugi, so under the full dispatch of Jimbo Nagaken, the Jimbo army continues to strengthen the offensive. …,

However, under the actions of the Jimbo Army, the front of the Uesugi Army under the command of Kawada Nagajin showed no signs of being shaken for the time being.

Kawada Nagajin also expected the counterattack of the Takeda army, so after the initial advantage, he began to consciously shrink the defensive line, and little by little the spirit of the Jimbo army, while waiting for the Naoe army's input to launch a counterattack at that time.

Kawada Nagakin's grasp of the battle situation can be said to be very correct.

Seeing that as the war dragged on, the generals of the Jimbo Army became more and more anxious, and the Uesugi Army still looked like they couldn't be defeated.

In contrast to this, the generals of the Uesugi Army also had doubts, why has it been so long that the Naoe Army has not yet assembled its troops?

As the battle dragged on, the sharpness of the two armies was gradually exhausted as soon as the two armies fought, and the soldiers began to fatigue and slacken.

It's no wonder that the fighting has been going on for an afternoon, and the scorching summer heat, coupled with this forest fire, will suddenly increase the temperature everywhere.

The sun hanging obliquely in the sky is fiery and poisonous.

The throats of the officers and men of the two armies were smoking, and their mouths were even more dry.

At this moment, whether it is the Uesugi army or the Jinbo army, fighting in such weather, the physical exertion is even greater than usual.

Despite the constant urging of the Divine Protection Army, the Divine Protection Army was already exhausted after several rounds of assaults one after another.

Similarly, the Uesugi army on the opposite side is not an iron man, and when they charged and rushed to the Jinbo army before, they had already consumed a lot of physical strength, and the two armies had been fighting for so long, and no matter how good the physical strength was, they would not be able to support it.

At the urging of the main general, the two armies of Ashigaru were very reluctant to enter the battle, and even the samurai as generals and the rank of Ashigaru generals were also stubbornly supporting.

Even in some parts of the battle, there was a boycott of the two armies.

There was such a ridiculous scene on the battlefield, the two armies of the ashigaru army were very tacitly aborted, and each of them was only a dozen rooms apart, either squatting with his hands on his knees, or even lying on the ground to rest exhausted, and the spears and knives were thrown aside.

At this moment, no one wanted to rush up to fight, and the ashigaru heads on both sides were powerless to command their subordinates, and they themselves couldn't take a step.

In the face of this situation, both Shinpo Nagaken and Honda Masanobu were frightened, and at this time, no matter which side invested a new force of more than 100 people, it could turn the tide of the war.

The Divine Protection Army has no new force to deploy.

However, the 2,000 troops of the Uesugi Army's Naoe Keixuna team have not moved at this moment.

Hoping that reinforcements would not arrive, Kawada Nagakin, as the general of the reserve, could not bear it at the moment, and was furious on the spot.

"Bastard, although he is the first trusted retainer under the command of the lord, it is too child's play to govern the army like this, could it be that all the reserves of Naoe Jinggang were burned to death in the fire? Why haven't I seen a single ghost. ”

Kawada and his relatives were looking at each other on the left and right, and they were constantly looking at the location of the Naoe Jingzuna team in the east.

At this moment, the fire has stopped, and it stands to reason that after the Naoe Jinggang team escaped from the fire, they should have already assembled their troops.

However, it was as if the Naoe Keixuna team had disappeared, and there was no news until now, and the two envoys who had been sent to contact him had not heard back so far, which made the samurai of the Uesugi Army, who had been waiting for him, puzzled and depressed.

And in fact, the one who really feels depressed at the moment should be Naoe Jinggang himself.

In Fangcai, Naoe Jingzuna had already led Qimoto to escape from the fire.

At this time, he had already seen the scene of Kawada's team braving the fire and attacking the Jimbo army.

Naoe Keixuna immediately understood Kawada's intentions.

He knew that Kawada Naga didn't want to let go of this Shenbao army, so he used the offensive method to drag the other party into the battlefield, and after he reassembled the army, he threw two investments, and overwhelmed the Shenbao army with a military advantage in one fell swoop.

Naoe Keixuna naturally agreed with Kawada's plan.

Therefore, as soon as Naoe Jingzuna arrived at a safe place to escape from the fire, he immediately ordered his subordinates to erect the flag seal of his general high, so that the main family who escaped from the fire was ashigaru, and after seeing the flag seal, he came from all directions to meet.

But at this time, there was a change, and not long after the flag seal was played, the place where Naoe Jinggang was located was immediately attacked by a large force of ninjas from the Takeda Army.

The ninjas of the Takeda Army wore purple or blue mountain clothes, and then wiped their faces with their six-foot hands, holding ninja swords, ninja sickles, iron cannons, bows and arrows, and attacked the place where Naoe Keixuna was. …,

There are only a dozen people in the mother's clothes around Naoe Jinggang, how can they resist being attacked by this group of ninjas of more than thirty people.

As soon as the two armies came into contact, Naoe Jinggang was hit by several ninja darts on his shoulder, but fortunately, he was not seriously injured because of the armor.

And more than a dozen mothers covered the retreat of Naoe Jinggang, although Naoe Jinggang escaped with his life, but the flag seal of the general was taken away by the ninjas of the Takeda Army.

The general general's flag seal was taken away, which was a great shame for Naoe Jinggang, and more importantly, the flag seal showed where the general was, without the flag seal, why did Naoe Jinggang gather his subordinates.

Next, the ninja team of the Takeda Army attacked the Naoe Keixuna team from all sides.

For the gathered Uesugi army, the ninjas greeted from afar with iron cannons, bows and arrows.

If the other party comes to pursue, the ninjas who are good at moving in the mountains and forests will immediately take them and circle around the mountains, and flee immediately in case of the danger of being overtaken.

As for the lonely, scattered Uesugi army has become the prey of the ninjas in mountain warfare.

Naoe Jinggang's team could not be assembled, and they had no combat power but could not use it, and their predicament at the moment was like a strong man in the ring, but they were delayed by a weak fist that he didn't know how many times, and he took the form of fighting.

didn't hit the opponent once, but he got several punches, and the punch hit the flesh.

Naoe Jingzuna could only lead his own team, and his subordinates gathered on all sides little by little, and when he saw his general flag seal, he was actually inserted by the Takeda Army ninja on the half-empty cliff in the distance at this moment.

For this scene, Naoe Jinggang also couldn't cry or laugh.

Under the harassment of such a sparrow war, Naoe Keixuna's 2,000 troops were miraculously delayed by Yokotani Yukishige's 300 azuma, and they were unable to assemble their troops for an afternoon and plunge into the battlefield between the Jimbo Army and Kawada Nagakin's team.

The Takeda Army ninjas also fought because of this, and they successfully attacked the famous general of the Uesugi Army, Naoe Keizuna, twice, and became famous.

However, Naoe Keixuna still finally assembled an army of more than 600 people, and when he was about to lead his army to support Kawada Nagakin.

At this moment, an unknown force appeared on the battlefield.

The sudden appearance of military momentum on this road caused mixed reactions from all sides.

In the valley, the sound of horses' hooves rumbled, which was clearly a sign that a large cavalry was slowly marching.

The sound of horses' hooves was loud and reverberated through the valley.

The black flag on this hillside is waving in the wind, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a big character 'Bi' written on it.

The appearance of the 'Bi' character flag caused the Uesugi troops on all sides of the battlefield to burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Towards the end of this twist and turn war, the dragon of Echigo, Uesugi Kenshin himself, personally led his army of 3,000 to the battlefield.

And the generals of the Takeda Army, such as Jimbo Nagaken, Honda Masanobu, Mizugoshi Shengshige, and Yokotani Yushige, all had drastic changes in their faces.

At this point in the battle, anyone who invests a new force can change the tide of the battle, let alone the 3,000-strong army led by the world's first general, Kenshin Uesugi himself.

Under the Bizi Banner and the Ranlong Banner, Uesugi Kenshin is still dressed as a monk, he is stationed at the top of the mountain, and the generals under his command stand aside like stars and moons.

In this battle, he brought the two main forces of Echigo, Ueda and Suyoshi.

The Echigo Nagao family is divided into three branches, namely three Nagao, Ueda Nagao, and Koshi Nagao.

The three long tails, also known as Fuchu is the clan family, Uesugi Kenshin comes out of this branch, and Ueda and Koshi are both existing as a member of the Uesugi family.

The Ueda crowd was previously led by Nagao Masaki, and after Nagao Masaki was drowned by Usami Dingman, he was handed over by Uesugi Kenshin to his adopted son, Kamishi Keikatsu, to lead the command.

And the Koshi Nagao family is the family of Uesugi Kenshin's mother, Toramae, because the main city of the Koshi family is in Suyoshi Castle, so it is called Sukiyoshi.

At present, he is led by Uesugi Kenshin's uncle Uesugi Keinobu.

Uesugi Keishinobu himself is also the head of the Uesugi family.

At present, Uesugi Kenshin led his family's elite banners to come, which was obviously a big surprise to others, and everyone thought that the Uesugi army was focused on capturing Matsukura Castle, and the reinforcements of the Takeda army were only to block it.

Looking at the scorched earth under the mountain, and the two armies of Jimbo and Tian who were in the midst of a melee.

Kamishi Jingsheng reported to Uesugi Kenshin and said, "Father, do you order the army to immediately go down the mountain to attack, and annihilate the enemy army in one fell swoop." ”

Uesugi Kenshin stopped his hand, raised his horsewhip in his right hand and raised it forward, and said, "Don't worry, Li Xiao has already led the army to arrive" ......,
