After the main force of the Uesugi army was completed, the horn sounded whirring.

Uesugi Kenshin drew his troops, and the Uesugi soldiers received the order and began to attack the Takeda army like a pouring flood.

The charging army of the Uesugi army was divided into five formations.

From left to right, the first road is the Uesugi family general Honjo Castle Lord Honjo Shiganga, the second road is the son of Murakami Yoshikiyo, Uesugi Kenshin's adopted son Yamaura Keiguni, the third road is also the center of the road is one of the elders of the Uesugi four generations of the family Chisaka Keikin, the fourth road is the Sukagawa Nikaido clan head Nikaido Moriyoshi, and the fifth road is the rightmost wing of the fifth road, is the retainer of the Daihoji family, Tozenji Castle Lord, Tozenji Yoshinaga.

These five men, as the general of the charge, launched an attack on the field fortifications of the Hida Etsuchu Army.

The Uesugi army knew that the Takeda army's iron cannon and large firepower were terrifying, and it was not unprepared.

In front of the battle, hundreds of high-profile cars were launched.

The so-called brand car is a large car, after modification, with a triple bamboo bundle standing in front of the car, as a baffle to defend against iron cannon shooting.

This bamboo bundle is more than two rooms high, and the back is reinforced with layers of push plates and supported.

In addition to the bamboo bundles, the surface of the baffle is also coated with a special layer of lacquer as a setting for fire.

Behind each moving big-name car, more than 30 Uesugi soldiers hid closely behind it, pushing the license plate car and slowly moving forward.

The formation of the Uesugi military car in front of it formed a rather spectacular long attack lineup, with a length of more than one kilometer, of course, for Li Xiao's entire six-kilometer-long defense line, it was only less than a quarter.

Obviously, it can be seen that the purpose of the Uesugi army is to prepare for a fierce attack in this area.

As soon as Li Xiao saw this situation, he knew that such a brand car, not to mention a bow and arrow, even if it was an iron cannon attack, it would be ineffective against it.

Immediately, Li Xiao ordered, and all the big cylinders fired at the license car.

As soon as Li Xiao gave the order, he heard a cannon shot.

Just when Li Xiao was a little stunned. Suddenly, he saw several people around him approaching, and stepped forward to pounce on him.

At this time, Li Xiao only listened, and there was a loud bang nearby.

Li Xiao saw that he was thrown to the ground by his subordinates without knowing whether he was in vain, and he was immediately furious, pushed away and got up.

He looked left and right, and saw that this cannon sound was not from his own position, but from a large cylinder hidden behind the archway by the Uesugi army.

It turned out that Yamaura Jingguo, the general of the Uesugi Army, had a vicious mind. Using the cover of the tall archway, he quietly dragged a large tube to a close place.

After that, he used the range of the big barrel to directly bombard Li Xiao's position with one shot, intending to kill Li Xiao with one shot, and capture the thief and capture the king first.

"My lord, the Uesugi army also has a big plan, and it is already dangerous here to wait for a long time, so please leave immediately."

Shigang Yiyu approached with several people and suggested to Li Xiao.

"Bastard, this formation can also be moved lightly?" Li Xiao angrily scolded Shigang Yiyu. "Who dares to speak lightly and move this formation. I slashed him with a knife. ”

Seeing Li Xiao's anger, Shigang Yiyu and the crowd had to retreat stupidly.

Li Xiao turned his head to look at the attack formation of the Oesugi army, the license plate car in front of the opponent had advanced to within 500 meters from the front line, and the Urakami Jingguo team was even more urgent, advancing to the range of 400 meters.

Behind the second row of cars of the Urakami Jingguo team, a large cylinder was emitting a few green smoke, which was obviously the one that was launched just now.

On the side, there were Uesugi soldiers cleaning the cannon chamber. Prepare for the second round of launches.

A general of the Uesugi Army, wearing a helmet and armor, was riding a horse not far from the big tube, and this person seemed to see Li Xiao unaffected by this shelling. At that moment, he pulled out the knife on his waist and shouted a few words at Li Xiao's main formation. …,

Although the distance was too far, Li Xiao couldn't hear what the other party was saying, but it was definitely not a good word.

At this time, the head of the monomi reported to Li Xiaoyu: "Lord, this person is Urakami Jingguo. ”

Li Xiao nodded slightly, no wonder he hated himself, the other party's biological father, Murakami Yoshikiyo, was folded in his own hands.

This person's desire to avenge his father can obviously be described as painstakingly unforgettable.

It's no wonder that the other party wants to seal his throat with a sword, and he has the heart to directly change Li Xiao.

However, Li Xiao looked down, and the crater he had just shot hit a wooden cart in front of the formation.

There were no casualties except for one samurai who was dodging and crutched to his feet.

Besides, the location of the crater, there are still more than a hundred rooms from the location of Li Xiao's flag seal, and his subordinates are really too much of a fuss.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao looked at the Urakami Jingguo team, immediately drank the order, and said: "The big barrel is ready to shell immediately!" ”

At the same time as Li Xiao gave the order, the advance speed of the Uesugi Army was accelerated by a few points, and the license plate vehicles had already arrived, and the Takeda Army's forward position was within 300 meters of the word, and some of the license plate vehicles had advanced to a distance of 200 meters.

Rumble! Rumble!

The earth shook in an instant.

On the two hills to the left and right of Li Xiao, all kinds of big barrels sounded in unison, six-pounder cannons, nine-pounder cannons, and twelve-pounder cannons, like a symphony of heavy bass.

Projectiles smashed into the Uesugi Army's license plate car all over the world.

The two fastest and fastest cars advanced by the Urakami Jingguo team were directly sent into the sky under the bombardment of five six-pounder guns.

Due to the calibration of the Zhuyuan, the five six-pounder shots had an unusually high hit rate, and three of the five shells hit directly.

In an instant, the license car decomposed and shattered in the air, turning into a pile of scattered sawdust, which was scattered into the sky, and the soldiers of the Uesugi Army, who were crushed by the cannonballs, died in an instant, while the rest of the people who were rubbing the edges were also holding the injured stumps, howling and screaming.

As for the big barrel used by Urakami Jingguo to sneak attack Li Xiao, it was taken care of by two nine-pounder guns with a long range, and the big barrel was blown up into the sky together.

After the cannonball hit the big barrel, it also caused a joint explosion of **, and more than 20 Uesugi gunners around the big barrel were either blown into fragments or turned into a burning man, rolling all over the ground.

It's just that Urakami Jingguo's life is better, and under the sacrifice of the side, he picked up a life.

In the first round of artillery bombardment of the Takeda Army, in the blink of an eye, the Uesugi Army had seven or eight vehicles that were directly destroyed under the shell bombardment.

After the destruction of the license plate car, the Uesugi army, which was lucky to not die, immediately retreated to the rear of the other license plates.

Uesugi Army's main formation.

On top of the general's seat, Uesugi Kenshin sat on top of the maza, silently watching the battle on the field.

Whether it was Urakami Jingguo's shelling of Li Xiao's position, or when Li Xiao ordered a big barrel to blow up the Uesugi military car.

Uesugi Kenshin didn't hear a word, watching all this silently, not even moving his body.

Suddenly, Uesugi Kenshin looked up at the sky, and suddenly chanted a famous poem, saying: "Although the twilight is brilliant, when will the road of boasting about the father end, it will not reach the edge of the sun." ”

Kamishi Jingsheng and Uesugi Jinghu listened to Uesugi Kenshin, and there seemed to be a sense of decadence between this poem, and they all felt that in this situation, reciting this poem seemed to have an unlucky meaning.

At this time, Uesugi Ken said: "Pass on my military order, Honjo Fanchang, Yamaura Jingguo, Chisaka Jingqin, Nikaido Shengyi, and Tozenji Yoshicho five people obey orders, and they must fight until one soldier and one soldier, and they must not retreat, otherwise, they will ...... Kill! ”

Listen to Kenshin Uesugi say this. Uesugi Jinghu is distressed at the moment, and the other Honjo, Yamaura, and Chisaka are also counted, and Nikaido Shengyi and Tozenji Yoshicho are both people who secretly communicate with him. …,

At that moment, Uesugi Jinghu said: "Father, the people, and the wealthy clan are all following your righteousness, coming from all directions, forcing the soldiers to fight to the death, and dying in front of the battle, so I am afraid that the people of the country, the wealthy clan will not dare to go into battle with their lives, and it will also damage your name of benevolence, please think twice." ”

Uesugi Kenshin shook his hand and said: "I used to be too benevolent, and if I want to defeat Li Xiao today, I have to sacrifice and pass on my orders." ”

"Oh!"

Uesugi Jinghu immediately agreed.

After that, the envoy conveyed Uesugi Kenshin's order.

The five generals in the vanguard were all frightened after hearing what Kenshin Uesugi said.

Urakami Jingguo and Chisaka Jingqin are both Uesugi Kenshin's retainers, and it's good to hear it, but the other three are all foreign ministers, and after hearing about it, they all scolded them.

Honjo had the idea of withdrawing from the battlefield without permission, but as soon as the thought turned, it was seen that after the position, his son who was a hostage in the Uesugi family was escorted by two samurai of the Uesugi army to the left and right, and even the sword was on his son's head.

Uesugi Kenshin's intentions are self-evident.

Honjo never expected that Uesugi Kenshin would force him to fight to the death for him, and he would even use such a skill.

Honjo was shocked and angry, and immediately scolded in a low voice: "Humble old thief, my Honjo has won your plan this time." ”

At that moment, Honjo threw his head in his pocket, and shouted to the left and right ashigaru: "The warriors of the Echigo army, the victory or defeat is here, kill me!" ”

When the Uesugi military vehicles advanced to more than 100 meters in front of the Takeda military formation, the second and third rounds of artillery bombardment by the Takeda army were suppressed again, and more than a dozen Uesugi military vehicles were overturned by artillery shells.

The baptism of shell crushing caused a lot of casualties to the Uesugi army.

As before, as long as the license plate car was blown up, there were no casualties among the Uesugi soldiers behind the license plate car, and after retreating to the second line, there was no rash attack.

The Takeda Army's large cylinders are evenly distributed over the six hills, so there are only two hills at the moment, and the large cylinders can exert their power within range.

This level of shelling is simply within the tolerance range for the Uesugi army, which has hundreds of license plates.

The officers and men of the Uesugi Army are still approaching the front line of the Takeda Army's position step by step.

"Pass the order down, order the iron cannon behind the fortifications to be ashigaru, and bow ashigaru to prepare for firing."

Li Xiao said in a deep voice to the envoy.

At this time, an envoy with the family crest of the Shenbao family ran over, came to Li Xiao, and said: "Report to the main hall, the lord reported to his position, and found the flag seal of the general of the Uesugi family. ”

Li Xiao was slightly surprised when he heard this, the left flank defense line of the Hida Etsuchu Army guarded by Jimpo Nagaken, could it be that Uesugi Kenshin was going to send his generals to trek through the impenetrable mountains and forests to attack the left flank of our army.
