Heavy rain slanted down.

From morning to noon, the sound of iron cannons that had been resounding in Ninomaru in Iwaki Castle suddenly came to an abrupt end at this moment.

Li Xiao stood on the arrow oar of Ninomaru, and suddenly smiled a little bitterly, he suddenly remembered the patriotic movie he watched when he was a child, the singing and crying scene of the people of Sanyuanli fighting against the British army.

Li Xiao just didn't expect this scene to happen to him.

The Ninomaru Iron Artillery Corps has all retreated, and now the teams of gunneru transferred from Honmaru are constantly reinforcing Ninomaru.

Bang! Bang!

The sound of a stake hitting the door was a rush for a while.

In the blink of an eye, the Echigo Army, which had paid a heavy price for casualties in the morning, and could not be filled, had been filled in an instant.

The Echigo army braved the heavy rain with arrow boards and arrows that slashed from time to time, and there were constantly ashigaru soldiers who were shot by arrows and then fell into the mud and groaned and wailed, while the ashigaru soldiers on their side continued to attack without asking.

Despite the all-out firing of the Takeda Army's archers, the Echigo Army was now in full swing and did not care about casualties.

And rainy days also have a great impact on the range, aim, and toughness of the bow and arrow, but at the moment it can only be barely used.

Under Ninomaru Castle, the straw sandals slammed into the mud, splashing muddy water everywhere, and the heavy rain hit the hats on the head of the Echigo army's light head for a chaotic sound, and the flag fingers were also wet and became obedient. The rain slipped down from the armor, and the black pressed a large area of Echigo troops who could not be seen from the end, drenched, standing in the distance with spears in hand, their eyes fixed on the city gates.

The tenacity of the Ninomaru Gate is not as strong as that of the Tengu Maru Otemon.

Eight tall Echigo warriors held wooden stakes and struck them hundreds of times, and on the gate of Ninomaru Castle, several white marks, one deep and one shallow, appeared, and the door was broken in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Li Xiao immediately transferred a series of generals from Baba Masafu, Hoshina Masanori, and Hoko Masatsuki to the gate, and at the same time, Takeda Katsuyori himself also led the people from the side to Ninomaru.

The Takeda Army decided to do their best to fight the Echigo Army at Ninomaru.

Just behind, on the Tengu Maru, Shinbata Chotsu personally sounded the taiko drum.

Boom! Boom!

Countless men and horses are mobilizing, and the spear teams erected like forests are constantly being transferred from afar. As soon as the gate was breached, the Echigo army poured into the gate with an absolute numerical superiority.

At this moment, he is on the Uesugi Kenshin main camp on the east side of Iwaki Mountain.

Despite the heavy rain, the battle in the distance was not very clear.

But one by one, all the generals of Echigo stretched out their heads and stood in the heavy rain, staring closely at the battle situation on this side of Iwaki Castle, and the rain clanged on their heads.

Everyone has a thought, could it be that the rock city is about to break down today?

But in the military tent, Uesugi Kenshin looked indifferent to Iwajiyama, and Suo picked up a pipa and played the ballad "Yashima".

With him was the Echigo military division Usami Seimitsu.

He glanced at the pouring rain outside the military tent, and asked Uesugi Kenshin, "My lord, why don't you care about the battle of Iwaki Castle at all?" ”

Uesugi Kenshin stopped playing, shook his head, and said, "It's not that I don't care, I'm just upset." ”

"Upset?" Usami couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this.

Iwaki Castle, Ninomaru.

Ninomaru Castle Gate, which everyone is looking at.

Finally, there was a loud bang! Sawdust flew across the gates.

The moment has finally come when the gates have been breached.

Oh!

The officers and men of the Echigo army were like being beaten with chicken blood, their faces turned red, and the whole army flocked in.

"The city is broken! The city is broken! ”

Countless people shouted at the same moment, the purpose of this was not only to cheer themselves up, but also to shake the morale of the Takeda army.

On the horse road of Ninomaru, the Echigo army rushed like a tide and engaged the Takeda army behind the castle gate.

The design of the horse road of Ninomaru is a bit similar to that of the road.

On the road, which was only five rooms wide, and on both sides were stone walls four rooms high, so the area of the frontal battle was very narrow, and the Echigo army lined up in a long line, and the people behind pushed the people in front and rushed forward one by one.

Therefore, the samurai who rushed to the front was ashigaru, and if he didn't move, he wouldn't be pushed forward by his own self behind. If one is accidentally overturned to the ground, the feet of countless people will be trampled on him.

In this narrow front of five rooms wide, only the swords, spears, and naginatas collided sounded, and the soldiers of the two armies slashed at each other without saying a word.

People were constantly stabbed or shot and thrown to the ground, but if the wounded stopped, the Echigo troops who rushed behind were trampled to death.

A dull shout, mixed with a mournful groan before death, the Echigo army continued to attack.

The main general of the Echigo Army, the lord of Fifty Gongno Castle, and the Fifty Gongno Hiro family, who is brave and brave. His arms were extremely powerful, and he swung his naginata alone, slashing left and right, and even slashing five or six Ashigaru members of the Takeda Army, all of whom were cut into two pieces by him.

"I'm the Echigo samurai Fifty Kono Hiroie, who dares to fight with me!"

Fifty Gongno Hiroya shouted rudely, and the Takeda army was forced by his momentum, and no one dared to step forward to meet him, so he was constantly beaten back and forth. Under the pressure of this fierce offensive, the Takeda army suffered heavy casualties and became more and more heavy.

In just a quarter of an hour, the Echigo army penetrated the nearly 100-meter-long Yongdao of the Takeda army, dozens of Takeda soldiers were killed on the spot, and the rest were all driven to the open space in the rear.

"Haha, that's it!"

Hiroya Fifty Gongno looked up and smiled, and the naginata knife in his hand was scratched by rain and blood.

Just as the laughter of the Hiroshi family of Fifty Gongno was finished, dozens of bowshishigaru members of the Takeda family suddenly climbed up from the high stone walls on both sides of the road.

All the soldiers of the Echigo Army in Yongdao suddenly changed color.

"Shoot the arrows!"

The head of the Ashigaru group shouted,

More than 50 members of the Takeda family, who had been in ambush for a long time, immediately fired arrows at the Echigo soldiers who were crowded in the corridor.

You don't need to aim, you can shoot with your eyes closed, and you can shoot an arrow at such a close distance, not to mention any range, penetration, even if you are wearing armor, it is useless.

One arrow is one.

There was a bloody storm in the corridor, and a rain of arrows fell, and the Echigo army wailed again and again in the corridor, and the black and oppressed crowd fell down a large area.

Five or six of the five who were not killed by the arrow, Echigo Ashigaru, crawled on the ground with his hands on his chest after his body was pierced by the arrow. The entire Yongdao was like a Shura hell in an instant.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The taiko drums of the Takeda Army's counterattack rang out.

Li Xiao, Shima Shengmeng, and Shigang Ichiyu were wearing heavy armor, each holding a weapon, and they took the lead, while the ashigaru of the Takeda Army, led by these three fierce generals, rushed into the road together.

Echigo's famous general Fifty Gongno Hiroya was about to fight with the other party, but he couldn't even see a single face, and was shot through the chest by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao shook his head, and the body of the Fifty Gongye Hongjia was thrown against the stone wall on the spot.

Seeing the death of the Lord, this terrible scene, the Echigo army trembled their legs.

The main general was killed in battle, and he was ambushed by bows and arrows, and the morale of the Echigo army was greatly damaged.

The overwhelming offensive of the Takeda Army was suppressed.

Seeing that Li Xiao was dressed in heavy armor and holding a spear, killing like a fierce god, all the Echigo warriors who dared to resist were assassinated by him on the spot without even making a move, and the two generals on his left and right were also fierce, killing people was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Many soldiers of the Echigo Army remembered the scene of Li Xiaoce's horse in the chaos of the army in the chaos of the battle of Baigen Mountain, and many famous generals of Echigo were wiped out in this battle.

For most of the Echigo troops who participated in the Battle of Shiraneyama, it is still a nightmare that they dare not recall.

Now that Li Xiao has been killed, the Echigo army suddenly has no courage to resist to the last bit.

"Li Xiao is here, run away!"

"Run, or you'll die!"

"Help! Don't leave me behind! ”

The terrifying shouts of the dead of the Echigo army in front before they died made the Echigo army in the rear sound particularly poignant.

Seeing Li Xiao killing, the Echigo Ashigaru army on the front line collapsed, as if they had seen a flood beast, shouting all the way, desperately retreating backwards, and they didn't even have the courage to turn back and fight. Even the Echigo army behind Yongdao also lost its courage and began to retreat.

The terrain in the road is originally narrow, and the so-called narrow road meets the brave wins.

As soon as the morale of the Echigo army was discharged, it was a thousand miles away, and they trampled on each other before and after.

Some began to yell hysterically, and some even lost their courage and knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, and then the Takeda Army samurai who were chasing behind them cut off their heads mercilessly.

Li Xiao, Shima Shengmeng, Shigang Yiyu and three people, wielding guns and knives, opened a killing ring, and rushed all the way behind the ass of the Echigo army. Driven by this, the Echigo army trampled on people back and forth, trampled on people, and oppressed people, and most of the people killed and wounded by the Echigo army were done by their own people with their own legs, and only a small part of them were killed by the Takeda army.

Li Xiao's three people were all blood-soaked and heavily armored, and the rain was soaked with blood, and the Takeda army that caught up behind them was almost all the way forward with pieces of minced meat.

Under the assault of Li Xiao and the others, the Echigo army was attacked by the Takeda army like a steamroller, and pushed all the way forward, instantly pushing the Echigo army back eighty meters, and re-beating them back to the original position of the Ninomaru gate, and the defeat continued.

Looking at a large group of crying fathers and mothers, the Echigo army that was running around was defeated and withdrew from the city gate, Gan Liangjing couldn't react for a while, and the Echigo army was still like a rainbow all the way, singing and marching forward, how could it be like this now.

"Bastard, what's wrong?"

Gan Liang Jing corrected one, and Echigo Ashigaru, who was almost crying bitterly, scolded.

As if he had lost his soul, Echigo Ashigaru shook his head, pointed to the position at the gate of the castle and said, "Yes...... Yes, Takeda...... Li ...... of the family Dawn. ”

Hearing this, Gan Liangjing let go of his hand and changed color.

The battle continued, and when he saw that the Takeda army had driven the Echigo army out of Ninomaru, he was not satisfied, and shouted from the broken gate of the castle.

At this time, Gan Liangjing suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face, the Takeda Army had such a small number of troops, and he still wanted to pursue it without success, are you an incompetent person from top to bottom of the Echigo Army.

Gan Li Jing immediately transferred his own horse Hui people, but before Gan Li Jing held the horse Hui people to fight, he was scattered by the current Echigo Ashibashi who was constantly defeating.

In the narrow terrain, the Echigo army was crowded with each other, and the superiority of the large number of troops could not be developed at all.

After Li Xiao, Shima Shengmeng, and Shigang Yiyu led the army out of the city gate, the Takeda army did not stop. Takeda Katsuyori, Baba Masafu, Hoshina Masanori, Hoshina Masatsuki and other generals of the Takeda Army also led the army to fight on all sides.

On the side of Midtown, Daxiong Chaoxiu also sent a team of men and horses to fight to respond.

Seeing that the lord of Katsuyori had personally gone into battle, the officers and men of the Takeda Army rushed up with their heads buried as if they were dying.

Several samurai who rushed in front were covered with more than a dozen wounds, but they were endless, and the sound of killing shook the sky for a while.

Although the Echigo army was held in Gan Lijing, and Shinbata Chotsu organized a wave of resistance, the two sides only fought for a while, and his soldiers and horses were beaten to pieces by the Takeda army.

The Echigo army was routed all the way.

The Echigo army left corpses all over the ground on the mountain road, and these corpses could not be contained on the mountain road, so they were kicked aside, so that the trees on the slope near the side of the cliff were also full of Echigo army's corpses.

The Echigo army was defeated, and now all of them retreated to Tengu Maru, and held a few rooms with strong bows, barely holding up a wave of offensive by the Takeda army.

Echigo Ashigaru, who retreated and survived, nested behind the house like frightened rabbits, looking at the outside of Tengu Maru, the menacing Takeda army.

Li Xiao saw that if he wanted to attack Tengu Maru, he would have to pay a big price, which was obviously not worth it, so he ordered to stop the pursuit.

In the end, Li Xiao held a gun and fought against the Echigo army outside the door.

In the midst of heavy rain.

"Who dares me Li Xiao to fight!"

Li Xiao's words clearly reached the ears of every Echigo soldier, and there was a sudden silence in the Tengu Pill, and all the Echigo soldiers in the city were dejected, and no one dared to step forward to face the battle.

The Echigo army was defeated in the attack on Iwaki Castle Ninomaru, and the cry that came from the wind even reached the side of the Echigo army's main camp.

The generals of the Echigo army and other generals who watched the battle from the sidelines were heartbroken, and they wanted to rush up with their wings and fight with the Takeda army, but there was no way to save them.

Seeing the black and oppressive Echigo army, the Takeda army, which was dressed in red and red armor, invaded like fire, repelled and defeated, and countless soldiers were killed.

Every general of the Echigo Army is like a knife at this moment.

From the original victory in sight, one fell to the bottom of defeat.

Uesugi Kenshin Tetsu sat in the big tent with a blue face, and the pipa in his hand had long been thrown aside by him.

Finally, there was a roar from inside the tent.

Uesugi Kenshin said angrily: "Gan Li Jingzhi, where is Xinfatian, I want them to apologize!" ”
