The arrows shuttled like flying locusts from the back of the horse fence and shot down on the head and face.

A group of Kiso's spears and foot light teams braved arrows to advance, and many soldiers were shot by arrows while advancing, and were wounded or killed on the spot.

The first wave of the Kiso family's ashigaru team, which was in charge of the trap, paid a third of the price and destroyed the horse barrier in front of the enemy's position, and launched an attack on the main camp of the sister army.

At this time, the sister road army, which had been gaining momentum for a long time, rushed out, and the two spears set up their positions lightly, provoking each other with two long spears, stabbing and slashing.

The decisive battle between the Takeda Army and the allied forces of the Hida Clans finally broke out under Sakurato Castle.

At the beginning of the battle, the Kiso family attacked rapidly, and the army was like a tide to cover the main position of the sister army.

The Kiso family's ashigaru general, Yamamura Shibei, ran in front of Kiso Yoshimasa and said, "Your Highness, our army is in the front, and the casualties are not small. The bow team of Sister Xiaolu's family is really powerful. ”

Kiso Yoshimasa snorted and said: "Sister Xiaolu Lianglai is powerful in playing conspiracy, but talking about the military array, it will never be the opponent of my Kiso family. ”

After speaking, Kiso Yoshimasa waved his horsewhip and shouted loudly: "Since the front army has already attacked the main formation of the sister road army, the second wave of spear foot light teams will follow, and the iron artillery team will also go out together. ”

Yamamura Shibei said in surprise: "Your Highness, please be cautious, this iron artillery team was equipped by the lord with the best efforts of his family, and it is the biggest belongings of my Kiso family, and it cannot be used lightly. ”

Kiso Yoshimasa let out a long laugh and said, "Shibei, you are old, no matter how valuable the sword is, if you don't kill people, it's just a piece of rotten iron." Father, if the Iron Artillery Corps that has been prepared so hard is not used because of love, then what is the use? ”

"Order the Iron Artillery to press."

"Oh!" The Kiso family envoy said yes and ran down quickly.

Immediately, a large number of Ashigaru soldiers with the Kiso family's banner inserted, under the command of Ashigaru, formed a second wave of offensive to attack the main camp of the sister Koji family.

The fighting in the distance became more and more fierce, the shouts and fights came one after another, and the disgusting smell of blood came to the nostrils.

Kiso Yoshimasa held the whip, but now there was a sense of pride in his heart, and he muttered to himself: "This is the battle where my Kiso family boy should be, this Hida strategy, I, Kiso Yoshimasa, have won!" ”

Just in response to Kiso Yoshimasa's words, the so-called Kiso family's family, more than 30 iron cannon ashigaru were also put on the front.

Under the order of the iron cannon head, the iron cannon of the Kiso family stood in two rows, and came to shoot iron cannon fire on the flank of the sister road army.

As the roaring iron cannons rang out, a group of spears on the flanks of the Sister Road Army was scattered by the bombardment, and the defensive line on the flanks of the formation broke a gap.

"Good!"

Kiso Yoshimasa shouted, and without hesitation, he pressed the last three ashigaru teams at hand, and from this gap, attacked the flank of the sister Koji family's main camp in a roundabout way.

"This kid from the Kiso family is doing a good job."

Li Xiao stood on the position of his reserve team and watched the battle of the Kiso family.

The front army is in full swing.

However, Li Xiao and his generals watched the battle in the rear very calmly, and Changjing of Shan County did not have the slightest intention of putting Li Xiao's men and horses into battle.

Li Xiao was also happy to be lazy.

Hearing that Shigang Kazuha praised Kiso Yoshimasa so much, there was a taste of ridicule in his tone.

Shimakatsu said fiercely: "Although the offensive of the Kiso family has been carried out well, but Kiso Yoshimasa has put all his strength into it too early, and his subordinates have no back strength at all except for a dozen horses and Huizhong. ”

Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded, obviously his opinion was the same as that of Dao Shengmeng.

Soon the situation on the battlefield was being dealt with, and Li Xiao and Dao Shengmeng's conjecture was not beyond their previous estimates.

After the Kiso family's forces were completely deployed in the front, the front was spread too scattered, and at this time, Sister Koji Yoriyori ordered his son, Sister Koji Yoritsuna, to personally go out and lead more than 20 mounted samurai under his command to counterattack.

Under a round of cavalry fire from the archers of the Sister Koji Army, they had just been retreated from the front line, and a half-crippled Kiso family ashigaru team suffered a blow of annihilation.

After annihilating this ashigaru team, the sister Koji Yoritsuna was unforgiving, and instead led the cavalry to turn around, bypassing the attack of an ashigaru team that had hurriedly stopped the interception.

A big detour actually killed directly towards the place where Kiso Yoshimasa's flag seal was.

Kiso Yoshimasa's performance did not lose the face of his ancestor Kiso Yoshinaka, and led the horse Hui to repel the horse riding team of this sister Koji Yoritsuna.

However, the horse riding team led by the sister Koji Yoritsuna, before the Kiso family's ashigaru team returned to help, jumped out of the Kiso family's encirclement at the cost of nearly half of the loss, and then took the opportunity to attack the iron artillery team of the sister Koji family.

The Ashigaru team, which originally guarded the iron cannon, had been transferred back to the main camp before, so the sister Koji Yoritsuna entered the iron artillery team without any resistance.

The samurai of the Samurai Riding Team of the Sister Koji family immediately threw away the bow, turned his hand and pulled out the sword on horseback, and slashed at the Kiso family's iron cannon ashigaru team.

And Kiso Yoshimasa, who couldn't be rescued, saw that his eyes were almost dripping blood, the hard work of two generations of the Kiso family, and the iron artillery team that had been hard to build was destroyed in the hands of his sister Xiaolu Yoritsuna.

When Kiso Yoshimasa arrived with his rescuers, most of the iron artillery team had already been killed, and there were corpses all over the ground, as well as discarded iron cannons.

Kiso Yoshimasa was so angry that he beat his chest on the spot.

However, Kiso Yoshimasa's nightmare did not end there, seeing that the Kiso family's most advantageous iron artillery team was destroyed and morale declined, Sister Koji Yoshiyori took the opportunity to put in the reserves for a big counterattack.

Corresponding to the position of the main position of the sister Koji Army, the Nishina family's army, which was responsible for attacking Aoyagi Kiyonaga on the right flank, was ambushed by the head of the Uchijima family, Uchijima Clanri, and now it is also a trend of retreating all the way.

Changjing, a county located in this formation, was stunned, although he had expected it before, he still didn't expect that these local wealthy army of Hida would be able to burst out with such powerful combat power in a desperate situation.

The battle lasted less than the morning, and the Kiso family in the middle and the Nishina family on the right flank were in danger of retreating at the same time, and the Takekawa people, who had hoped to break through on the left flank, were unable to break through and win an overwhelming victory under the stubborn resistance of the Hida army.

If the middle and right flanks are defeated at the same time, it will be extended to the left flank, and even if a Shinryu can break through the frontal resistance, it will not be able to save the defeat.

So Yama Yama Changjing dismissed the plan not to reinforce the middle and right flank, but to invest troops in exchange for a quick victory on the left flank, because even if this was the case, the victory of the Takeda army would be a crushing victory.

The situation in the Hida country will not change in any way.

Therefore, Yama Yama Changjing decided to lead the main formation to attack and rescue the right wing Aoyagi Kiyocho, and at the same time he issued a military order to Li Xiao and Jiangma Huisheng to let them go out to cover the military situation of the Kiso family and retreat to the main formation.

Just as the Takeda Army began to act.

The all-out counterattack of the Sister Route Army has begun.

He was wearing a large armor and a white cloth bowl with a white cloth bowl on his head, which looked like a white cloth strip with the word "kamikaze" on his forehead when a pilot of the World War II kamikaze special attack team was on a mission.

In addition to Sister Koji Ryoyori, there are more than 30 elite samurai of the Sister Koji family, who are also dressed in the same way as him, with white cloth bowls tied on their foreheads.

The purpose of the bowl is to show the determination to fight to the death, and there is no way back.

Under the shouting and shouting of his sister Koji Yoyori, and loudly inviting him to fight, his samurai also gave up his surname to follow him into the military situation of the Kiso family.

Under the encouragement of Sister Xiaolu Lianglai, the Sister Road Army was like a rainbow and launched an overwhelming offensive.

The Kiso army in the front line had been reversed in an instant, and they were defeated and retreated.

After a while, he was driven out of the position of the main formation by the sister road army, and under the subsequent offensive of the sister road army, as if it was crushed by a crusher, the defensive front was crushed.

The remnants of the Kiso family were beaten to the point that they lost their armor and shouted for defeat, and even though Kiso Yoshimasa led the Ma Hui to resist for a while, he had to retreat in the face of the surging attack of the sister army.

Kiso Yoshimasa never imagined that he would suffer such a crushing defeat, not only was the iron artillery team at home completely annihilated, but all the resistance of the Ashigaru team was crushed, and the whole army was chased like a rabbit.

Kiso Yoshimasa's current situation suddenly fell to the region like heaven, from full of confidence before the expedition, to the current back cold.

He finally woke up from the bravery worship of the glorious achievements of the ancestors of the Kiso family, looked back left and right and asked loudly: "Where are our reinforcements?" What about our reinforcements? ”

Seeing the fiasco of Kiso Yoshimasa, Li Xiao's generals could be said to have a gloating expression, when they received the order to rescue Changjing in Shanxian County.

Li Xiao naturally led the army to reinforce, but the speed was ............ Li Xiao and Jiangma Huisheng 500 standing standing, moving slowly, slowly and leisurely, the whole army was like a turtle crawling slowly, step by step and three times to go to rescue Kiso Yoshimasa.

Under Li Xiao's delay, the casualties suffered by the Kiso army were even more severe.

Just when Li Xiao's army arrived.

Yama Prefecture Masakai is worthy of being a fierce general under Takeda Shingen, and in the blink of an eye, he has rushed to the right flank, turned the tide and repelled the attack of the Uchijima family, and stabilized the defeat of the Nishina family of Aoyagi Kiyonaga in one breath.

After stabilization, Shan County Changjing saw that the middle road sister Xiaolujia was attacking fiercely, so he immediately ordered Sone Masashi to lead a team to reinforce the defeated Kiso army with Li Xiao.

Just as Sister Xiaolu Lianglai led the army to pursue the victory, he also saw Li Xiao's Yueyue double-patterned flag appear, and at this moment he already knew that the other party's reinforcements had arrived.

Sister Xiaolu Lianglai has fought with Li Xiao, so she naturally knows how powerful this Takeda family general is, not to mention that at this time, Sone Masashi's reinforcements are also killing poison from the other side.

In order to avoid falling into a bitter battle, Sister Xiaolu Lianglai did not fall in love with the war, and immediately ordered the withdrawal of the army by blowing the conch horn.

In this way, Kiso Yoshimasa and his Kiso army survived and fled back to their main camp to collect the remnants.

The two sides fought fiercely for a long time, and then it came to an end, and they each withdrew their troops.

In the joint battle of Sakurato Castle between the Takeda family and the Hida Kingdom coalition army, no one expected that the Takeda Army, which has always been known as the strongest army in the Warring States and prides itself on being the strongest of Koshin, would actually be defeated by the Hida sister Koji family in the barren land of projectiles.

The Kiso family, who was the vanguard, suffered more than half of the casualties, and the troops of Ichichi Nobunura and Aoyagi Kiyonaga also suffered casualties to varying degrees.

In the afternoon, Yama County Changjing cleaned up the remnants of the army under Sakuradong Castle, and the morale of the Takeda army was depressed.

Seeing this, Changjing of Shanxian County reconvened the military meeting, preparing to review the reasons for today's defeat and tomorrow to hold another decisive battle.

In the tent of the Takeda Army, there is a sense of decadence up and down.

Sone Masayo, Aoyagi Kiyocho and others, who suffered defeat, all looked dejected, while Li Xiao and Jiangma Shisheng watched their noses and noses, and sat silently.

As the general of the Yama Shan Shan Changjing is holding back the fire, he did not expect that as the general of the first command, the battle situation will actually come to this point, although the sister Xiaolu army fought to the death, burst out of strong strength, but the Takeda family internal discord, the intrigue between the generals is also one of the reasons for the defeat.

However, Changjing of Shan County did not directly reprimand, but just asked everyone to summarize the lessons of today's defeat.

At this time, Kiso Yoshimasa, who should have been the person responsible for the defeat today, did not take the initiative to stand up and bear his mistakes, but jumped out to scold his mother.

Of course, his head of anger was placed on Kiyocho Aoyagi, who was in charge of the offensive on the right flank.

At this moment, the Nishina family is no longer majestic, and back then it was just a small wealthy family attached to the Ogasawara clan, Aoyagi Kiyonaga has always had a gentle temper, and in front of Kiso Yoshimasa, who was more than twenty years younger than him, he was scolded silently.

Kiso Yoshimasa scolded Aoyagi Kiyoshi for his incompetence, his lack of command of troops, his lack of strictness, and his lack of judgment, and he was beaten like this by an ambush by the Uchijima family.

The purpose of Kiso Yoshimasa's action this time is, of course, to shirk responsibility for the defeat of the Kiso family, and to cover up his own wrongdoing.

In Kiso Yoshimasa's mouth, he naturally became a brave general who was defeated and calmly commanded the resistance.

Everyone here knew about him, but they only sneered in their hearts and didn't want to say it.

But Kiso Yoshimasa continued to feel good about himself, and after scolding Aoyagi Kiyocho, Kiso Yoshimasa didn't take a breath, and when he saw Li Xiao, his eyes were actually widened.

Kiso Yoshimasa's temper broke out again, pointed the finger at Li Xiao, and angrily reprimanded: "Li Xiao, today you delayed the order of the Lord of Shan County, and your actions were slow when you came to the rescue, otherwise how could our army have this defeat and miss this opportunity to turn defeat into victory, all this is your responsibility." You should apologize for your seppuku. ”

Under Kiso Yoshimasa's sudden outburst, Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, thinking: Nima, how can there be such shameless scum in this world.

Brother didn't care about it before, do you still think I'm a bully?

Li Xiao took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and his face was very calm, but he said gently: "His Royal Highness Kizeng, I don't understand this, I don't know if I can ask Your Excellency for advice?" ”

Kiso Yoshimasa snorted and asked, "What else do you have to say to defend yourself?" ”

Li Xiao sneered and said, "Your Highness said today that a thousand Mu Zengzhong are attacking the sister road army and a thousand troops. What I don't understand is that under the equal strength of the two sides, His Highness's entire army was defeated and retreated, and more than half of the casualties were lost, is it His Highness's responsibility or my responsibility? ”

"Could it be that the Kiso people are vulnerable, or is His Highness as stupid as a pig and commanding indiscriminately?"

"You ......" Kiso Yoshimasa pointed his finger at Li Xiao, his face turned red, and he looked like he was swallowed angrily by Li Xiao's words.

At this time, the generals saw Li Xiao and Kiso Yoshimasa arguing, and immediately spoke out to persuade them.

Li Xiao didn't want to tear his face too much, so he kept his mouth shut.

But Kiso Yoshimasa still thought that Li Xiao was retreating like this, because he was afraid of himself, and continued to argue for himself: "I, Kiso people, are defeated today, the reason for this is very clear, it is all because Aoyagi Kiyocho's right wing is defeated, so the flank of our army is exposed, otherwise in the name of Yoshinakagong, my Kiso family is not afraid of my sister Xiaolu family." ”

"It's Li Xiao, you delayed the military plane and deliberately delayed reinforcements, this is an offense to the military order, and you should commit suicide."

Li Xiao saw that Kiso Yoshimasa's eyes were like poisonous snakes, staring at him deadly, and he couldn't wait to put himself in death immediately.

That's right, Lao Tzu is delaying the military plane, delaying and not saving, what do you do with Lao Tzu.

Li Xiao Huoran stood up and said with a sneer: "It turns out that His Royal Highness still remembers that after the righteous Zhonggong, when the righteous Zhonggong swept the world and was invincible, he was the first hero in the world, and the world admired him. ”

Kiso Yoshimasa saw that Li Xiao suddenly changed his words and picked up his ancestor, thinking that he had finally relented.

But then Li Xiao said sharply: "On the other hand, His Highness suffered a defeat, not to mention, the iron cannon team at home was buried, and the iron cannon was taken away by the sister Xiaolu family. And His Royal Highness doesn't think about his own faults, but just blindly blames others and shirks responsibility. Could it be that this was the ability of Yi Zhonggong back then? Shinano has always had rumors about the Kiso family before, and I didn't believe it at first, but now when I see His Highness, I believe it. ”

Kiso Yoshimasa was half angry with Li Xiao, but he still asked, "What rumors?" ”

Li Xiao snorted and said: "It's a bit disrespectful, it is rumored that the ancestor of His Highness is not the queen of Kisang, but just an impostor of the villagers of Kusano." ”

As soon as Li Xiao's words came out, Kiso Yoshimasa, who had always prided himself on his family, suddenly lost control and pulled the sword out of its sheath with a bang.

And the generals of the Takeda family here saw that the big thing was not good, and the two generals of the family were actually in the military tent, drawing swords against each other, fighting to the death.

All of a sudden, everyone rushed in front of the two of them, and persuaded them to not let them do it.

Kiso Yoshimasa stared at Li Xiaoyan angrily and said: "Li Xiao, you coward from the Ming Kingdom, you have the ability to fight to the death with me Kiso Yoshimasa, don't cower behind others, ask for protection, like a woman." ”

Li Xiao laughed when he heard Kiso Yoshimasa say this, and asked rhetorically: "Your Highness Kiso, you are wrong, they are not protecting me, but protecting you." His Royal Highness wants to fight with me Li Xiao to the death, and I am willing to do it and accompany me to the end. It's just that I don't know how many points of His Royal Highness's martial arts are comparable to Hojo Tsunade and how many percent of Kamiizumi Hidetsuna? ”

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the military tent.

Everyone looked at each other, looked at Kiso Yoshimasa, and then looked at Li Xiao, and immediately shook their heads at each other.

Really, beyond your means, young man.

Li Xiao is the strongest martial artist among the generals of the Takeda family, Hojo Tsunade Chengdu is better than him, and Kamiizumi Hidetsuna is helpless, you Kiso Yoshimasa is tired of living, you have a few lives, go to Li Xiao alone.

Thinking of this, no one stopped Kiso Yoshimasa, looking like he would go with you.

And at this moment, Kiso Yoshimasa also thought of this, and suddenly, his face turned pale.

But he can't pull down at the moment, if he retreats from the war, where will his face as the son-in-law of the Kiso family be in the future, and the family's face will also be lost to him.

So Kiso Yoshimasa let out a loud shout, and waved the knife in his hand and slashed at Li Xiao's body.
