Chapter 524: Mandate of Heaven
The wind came from the north, and the banner flew.
Looking down on the hillside where the Hida Etsuchu Army is in the main position.
Fighting was raging on all sides, and tens of thousands of troops were on the battlefield, fighting to the death.
Blood flowed and pestles flowed, and corpses were mountainous.
On the hillside, the huge Li character flag is flying.
Li Xiao was dressed in a big coat, pressed the sword in his hand, and paced slowly.
"Report to the lord, the army of the Lord of Mino Islands is detouring to the right flank of the Uesugi army, and has just defeated the resistance of the Yamamoto Temple Keichagabu, and is now storming the flank of the Uesugi army."
"Report to the lord, the two lords of Hida and the two lords of the Uchijima have led a detour to the left flank of the Uesugi army and are attacking the Suwon pro-constitutional department."
"Report to the lord, Lord Yuzuo has reported that Neng's ascending has completed the outflanking and cut off the retreat of the Uesugi army."
"Got it."
After listening to the envoy's return, Li Xiaoyi waved his hand and motioned for the envoy to retreat.
Seeing Li Xiao's solemn expression, Li Zheng spoke: "Father, Uesugi Kenshin, and the 20,000 troops of the Uesugi family have fallen into the siege of our army. ”
Li Xiao looked at his son and smiled slightly, he looked at the battlefield, the Uesugi army was like a trapped dragon, surrounded by the Takeda army on all sides.
Shigeharu Takenaka said on the side: "The house-shaped hall, to trap the Kenshin Gong, but it is not easy, the art of war has ten clouds to surround one, and in terms of strength, our army is barely comparable to the surrounded Uesugi army." ”
Li Xiao looked at Shigeji Takenaka and nodded, and said, "Lord Takenaka, what you said makes sense. ”
Just as Shigeharu Takenaka finished speaking, a sharp sound suddenly sounded above the seal of Uesugi Kenshin's flag, and although the sound was thin, the army could not hide its sound.
After Li Xiao heard this, he looked at it quickly and said in a deep voice: "It's Mingdi." ”
After this sharp sound of breaking through the air, hundreds of samurai on horseback in the Uesugi Army's own army shot arrows into the sky with their bows and arrows.
The sharp sound of these hundred ringings in unison spread throughout the battlefield.
The Kasaki Horse is one of the three ways of the samurai's bow and horse.
The Uesugi army was also on the battlefield, using the method of firing arrows to transmit signals.
Li Xiao looked at the battlefield, his face was slightly gloomy, and he saw that on the battlefield, the Uesugi army, which was crushed by Li Xiao's standing army, had slowly regrouped.
Uesugi Kenshin's Ragnar Banner fluttered impressively and rushed forward, while the rest of the Uesugi army, which had been beaten to an unformed formation, drove behind and walked in a long way, showing an arrow shape, approaching the front.
That's right, it's approaching in the direction of Li Xiao's main formation!
When Li Xiao saw it, he couldn't help but be surprised, Uesugi Kenshin actually had to fight with himself when the battle situation had deteriorated to this point?
No, Li Xiao immediately reacted, Uesugi Kenshin This is not a decisive battle, but a breakthrough, and the place where he broke through is exactly the direction of his own formation.
Okay, Kenshin Uesugi.
Realizing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but admire Uesugi Kenshin's determination and courage, and in front of him, the four standing regiments were lined up.
In addition, there are also retainers such as Shioya Akisada, etc., small wealthy clans from all over the country, the military strength of two or three thousand people, and the sun and moon of Tsuchiya Masahiro.
Uesugi Kenshin actually wants to break through from his strongest head, does he really have this confidence and certainty.
When attacking Li Xiao's front, the flank and rear of the team also had to withstand the three-sided onslaught of Dao Shengmeng, Baba Changfang, and You Zuo Xuguang, and a little carelessness would be the total collapse of the whole army.
But then again, the Uesugi army is now not far from the total collapse of the entire army.
Seeing that Uesugi Kenshin's banner army of more than 2,000 people came as an arrow directly towards his own army.
Li Xiao immediately made a decision, and said: "Pass the order, order Otani Pingma, Ichiyanagi Naosu, and Yamamoto Kanzo lead Banner to block Uesugi Kenshin's way." ”…,
"Tsuchiya Shoji's sun and moon preparation are entangled in the Uesugi Kenshin Banner Clan."
"Herald Island Katsutake, Baba, Yusa, Onkai are in position, don't leave your hands behind, and attack the current enemy army with all your might!"
Wait!
Just when the envoy was ordered to get on the horse.
Li Xiao suddenly shouted.
The envoys looked at each other and stopped moving.
Takenaka Chongzhi, Honda Masashi, and Li Zheng were also surprised, but they saw Li Xiao with a hesitant expression.
Shigeharu Takenaka said on the side: "Yagata Hall, why are you meditating? ”
Li Xiao glanced at Shigeharu Takenaka and said: "Uesugi Kenshin is determined to break through, and the power of the counterattack will inevitably be huge. ”
After listening to Li Xiao's words, Honda Masanobu said on the side: "My lord, there are clouds in the art of war, surround three and one, don't intercept the division, the Uesugi army is desperately counterattacking, the strength must be huge, if our army forcibly shakes its edge, it is not the best policy." ”
Li Zheng also said: "Yes, father, several standing branches are your hard work, don't fight." ”
As soon as everyone finished speaking, they saw that Uesugi Kenshin's banner army had begun to exert its strength, and almost with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying, it broke through the Tiger Benbei team.
After that, it was defeated again, and the army of a small wealthy clan in Yuezhong was defeated.
Listening to the words of his son and the confidants of his retainers, although Li Xiao felt a little unwilling in his heart, his previous plan to besiege and kill Uesugi Kenshin could only be changed to kill as many of the Uesugi army's vital forces as possible.
At that moment, Li Xiaoyan said: "Pass the order, order all legions not to shake the sharp edge of Uesugi Kenshin, the Uesugi army is attacking head-on, let it go, attack its flank, and intercept its fleeing army." ”
"Oh!"
He was given the order again and immediately ran down the mountain.
When Tsuchiya Masahiro received the order from Li Xiao's envoy, he couldn't help but be angry, waved his horsewhip down, and said: "Our army has already occupied a comprehensive advantage, why should the lord let go of Sugi Qianxin and let him break through from the front of the battle, and he can't get the full success." ”
Tsuchiya Masatsune looked angry, not only him, but also the ashigaru generals he prepared under the sun and moon were also unwilling.
In the battle of Nagashino, Sun and Moon prepared to cooperate with Baba Masabo to kill Nobunaga, and made a great contribution to the Takeda family.
This time in the face of Uesugi Kenshin, they naturally want to repeat it on each other, kill the strongest man in Kanto, and add glory to their martial arts.
After all Tsuchiya Masatsune said this, the generals under his command also said: "Yes, my lord, the lord is not willing to take risks, and with the strength of our army, we can also win Uesugi Kenshin." ”
Li Xiaozhi's envoy listened to the conversation between Tsuchiya Changheng and several generals, and was shocked in his heart, and said: "Several adults, the lord's order cannot be violated. ”
Tsuchiya Masahiro glanced at the envoy and said with a smile: "I didn't violate the lord's order, the lord just let our army entangle Uesugi Kenshin." ”
Speaking of this, Tsuchiya Masahiro shouted: "Everyone, follow me to assault!" ”
Tsuchiya Masahiro whipped his horsewhip violently and rushed straight away, and the sun and moon prepared the soldiers to act with Tsuchiya Masahiro, and the smoke and dust rolled up for a while.
And the envoy couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this earth house Changheng go away, and said: "It's really a newborn calf, so I have to return this to the lord." ”
The horse's hooves rolled, and a large area of the sun and moon double-patterned flags and fingers, against the wind, swelled to the maximum roar.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
Tsuchiya Masatsune carried a spear and whispered to the Takeda Shotoshi on the way forward, lest they block the advance of the cavalry in the rear.
Tsuchiya Masatsune led the cavalry of the Sun and Moon Bei straight towards Uesugi Kenshin.
This is the banner of Uesugi Kenshin, and the main army has broken through several obstacles of the standing corps of the Takeda Army.
Of course, after receiving Li Xiao's order, none of the four standing guards did their best to stop Uesugi Kenshin.
Therefore, Uesugi Kenshin did not make too much effort, and broke through the defense line of the Takeda army and went straight to Li Xiao's main formation. …,
Of course, Uesugi Kenshin didn't know that Li Xiao was forced by him to move his own camp to avoid his front.
Tsuchiya Masahiro led the army all the way, and finally saw the location of the black banner of the Uesugi army.
Uesugi Kenshin is leading the army to get rid of it, and the Takeda army flag is equipped with two standing left and right entanglements, preparing to break through to the hillside in front and attack Li Xiao's main formation.
And at this time, the sun and moon of Tsuchiya Changheng were ready to kill.
Tsuchiya Masahiro waved his spear, and the sun and moon prepared a horizontal formation, bypassing the flank of the Uesugi army.
The sun and the moon prepared the cavalry, all with bows and arrows, turned diagonally forty-five degrees, and aimed at the chaotic dragon banner that was hunting and moving.
"Shoot!"
Tsuchiya Masahiro waved his spear, and the Sun and Moon Reserve cavalry launched a round of shooting.
Rain of arrows raid.
The mounted samurai on the fringes of Uesugi Banner's army fell off their horses, and of course many of them fired arrows on their horses, or dodged with their equestrian skills.
Immediately, the Uesugi army also mounted arrows on the horse, and Arakawa Nagami led the army forward, and returned the color.
The cavalry of the two armies was like a horse lantern, each performing his own horsemanship, moving on his horse and shooting at each other.
Tsuchiya Masahiro led the army back in a circle, and found that this round of assault did not shake the Uesugi army, so he gritted his teeth and turned back to lead the cavalry to break through.
This time, the sun and moon were no longer bows and arrows, but were replaced with weapons such as horses, knives, and naginatas.
Kill!
Tsuchiya Masatsune took the lead and met Arakawa Nagami, the fierce general of the Uesugi army.
The deserted village Changshi was burly, wearing heavy armor, holding a big text gun, and he killed Tsuchiya Masahiro directly with a fierce momentum.
Compared with the tall and tall head of the deserted village, Tsuchiya Masahiro is much shorter.
The two of them drove straight on horseback, and they approached the front, and the head of the deserted village was really immediate, flipped the ten-character big gun, and was about to cut Tsuchiya Changheng under the horse with a blow.
But Tsuchiya Masahiro was not in a hurry, picked up a short-handled fire hammer that had already been ignited from the side of the saddle, and shot it at Arakawa Nagashi's chest.
Rumble!
Shots rang out and fell off the horse.
Arakawa Nagami begging!
Arakawa Nagashi's department was directly killed and dispersed by Tsuchiya Masahiro, who led more than 30 horsemen and approached the Chaolong Banner.
Under the Ragnar Dragon Banner, Uesugi Kenshin didn't seem to be affected by Arakawa Nagami's capture, and looked at Tsuchiya Masatsune, and shouted in a deep voice, "Take my bow." ”
Uesugi Kenshin faced the oncoming Tsuchiya Masahiro, stretched his bow and arrows, and his anger was condensed on his shoulder.
Suck!
Uesugi Kenshin shot arrows from thirty rooms away.
Tsuchiya Masahiro couldn't dodge, and was directly pierced through his right arm by a sharp arrow, and the left and right cavalry saw it and hurriedly covered the retreat of the main general to recuperate from his injuries.
Uesugi Kenshin had just killed Tsuchiya Masatsune when the dragoons of Hizuki arrived in a hurry.
This time, it happened to be the place where Tsuchiya Masatsune had just broken through, but the Uesugi army pursued and killed the main general, Tsuchiya Masatsune.
After the dragoons dismounted, they were empty, and fifty rooms away, in the direction of Uesugi Kenshin, came a volley of iron cannons.
After the roar of iron cannons.
I saw the Chaotic Dragon Flag shake for a while, and Uesugi Kenshin turned over and fell off his horse.
