Of course, Li Xiao understood what Takeda Katsuyori meant by glaring at him, maybe most of the people present didn't know his strength, but Takeda Katsuyori definitely knew how far his marksmanship had reached.

Among the generals of the Takeda family present, only Li Xiaofang can be called the opponent of Dihuang Hachiman in terms of strength.

The Hojo clan glanced at the young Takeda Katsuyori who came to challenge, frowned, and said, "Shinano Suwa clan? ”

Takeda Katsuyori put his gun and shouted, "Not bad." ”

The Hojo clan put away the contempt on his face, and there were many people who believed in Suwa Shrine in the Kanto region under Hojo's rule, such as Kashima Shrine in Hitachi Province, Kanto, and Katori Shrine were all dedicated to the god of Kengo, that is, Suwa Daimeijin. And in the legends of Shinano Kai and Kanto, Takeda Shingen himself is the incarnation of the god body of Suwa Daimyojin.

Therefore, the Kwantung samurai were very in awe of Kai Tiger Takeda Shingen.

The Hojo clan showed solemnity, made a gesture to ask for advice, and turned the big gun horizontally, and the two sides competed in the middle of the open space on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Takeda Katsuyori was not immediately knocked down by the Hojo clan, as soon as he fought, he exuded an aggressive momentum, and his marksmanship was very sharp, forcing the Hojo clan to take a defensive position and temporarily avoid its edge.

The Hojo family will see that the first fierce general of the Hojo family was actually killed by a little-known kid in Shinano Suwa, and they couldn't help but be collectively shocked, and many people knelt up straight, staring at the competition between the two in front of them with wide eyes and disbelief.

And the generals of the Takeda family didn't expect that Takeda Katsuyori's marksmanship was still above the gun bullet Zhengbao Kemasatoshi. Among the veterans, there was a general expression of relief, while the younger generals were mostly excited, hoping that Takeda Katsuyori would defeat the famous Kanto Kai Hachiman in one go.

Many people stood up and cheered for Takeda Katsuyori.

Li Xiao looked at the expressions of the generals and smiled slightly, his eyes just caught Taro Takeda Yoshinobu who was sitting on the side, and his face showed a little jealousy. I'm afraid he is also vaguely beginning to perceive the threat that this younger brother will pose to him in the future.

Li Xiao turned his gaze and looked at the competition between the two people on the field again.

Li Xiao couldn't help but think of the scene when he first crossed into the Warring States, in front of Takeda Shingen and Takeda Shinshi, he competed with Takeda Katsurai, at that time, the other party was also stunned.

But now Takeda Katsuyori's marksmanship has grown a lot compared to that time.

In fact, as Takeda Katsuyori's marksmanship, Li Xiao and Takeda Katsuyori have learned a lot about marksmanship, according to the general style of play, as long as he can resist his opening three-board axe and support the later battle situation, Li Xiao can always easily defeat Takeda Katsuyori.

However, it is easy to say, in the face of Takeda Katsuyori's onslaught at the beginning, Li Xiao sometimes does not have a full grasp of the past that can be supported.

However, Li Xiao did not mean to admonish Takeda Katsuyori at all, individuals have their own surnames, and if they want to improve to their highest level in martial arts, they must choose a spear route that suits them. Takeda Katsuyori is suitable for such a style of play that starts with a fierce attack, fighting with a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers, and can often have the effect of punching and killing the master.

Li Xiao guessed that even if Takeda Katsuyori ran into Tsukahara Bu Ling and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, he would dare to use this stunned momentum to fight for his life and attack the other party first.

Sure enough, after supporting the onslaught of Takeda Katsuyori at the beginning, the Hojo clan gradually reversed the passivity at the beginning and gradually leveled the situation. As the competition progressed, he seemed to have touched the routines in Takeda Katsuyori's marksmanship, while Takeda Katsuyori became more and more impatient.

Finally, Hojo stabbed with a gun and knocked Takeda Katsuyori to the ground.

Although Takeda Katsuyori was defeated, he obviously won the respect of the Hojo family's generals, and the Hojo clan nodded and said: "It's rare for a young man to have a spear like yours, if you hone it for a few more years and restrain your impatience, the future is limitless." ”

To be able to get such an evaluation from Huang Hachiman, the first fierce general of the Hojo family, it is obvious that Takeda Katsuyori is still glorious despite defeat, and Takeda Nobuyoru also played the role of Takeda Shingen very well, and said: "Yes, this is Shiro of my Takeda family, who just inherited the family business of the Suwa family not long ago. ”

It turned out to be the son of Takeda Shingen, and the Hojo family will show an expression of sudden realization.

Hojo Shiyasu glanced at Taro Takeda Yoshinobu, who was sitting alone drinking alone, and couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "If it's really a tiger father without a dog, Shiro's bravery, it really has the demeanor of Shin Xuangong." ”

Sure enough, as soon as he heard this, Takeda Yoshinobu's vest stiffened, and he stopped drinking, with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Li Xiao, who was on the side, scolded in his heart, the old fox of the Hojo family, now that the Hojo family and the Takeda family are still in the alliance, is he so eager to provoke the battle within the Takeda family.

Only Takeda Nobuyoshi laughed and responded calmly: "Shiro is a fierce general, but his surname is still impatient, not as stable as Taro, and he will still have a long time to hone in the future." ”

After saying this, Takeda Yoshinobu's face looked a little better.

The Hojo clan was about to continue the battle against the generals of the Takeda family, when a man in the Hojo family, wearing a white single coat and a hakama skirt under his waist, strode into the middle of the field and said to the Hojo clan: "Hachimanden, please rest for a while, I want to represent my Hojo family and fight with the samurai of Kai." ”

Hojo Tsunade laughed, nodded and returned to his original seat.

The man took over the team of the Hojo clan and continued to fight against the Takeda family.

The Takeda family also wants to find some ground, and it is understandable to lose to the world-famous Dihuang Hachiman, if they continue to lose to the small one in front of them, the face of the Takeda family will not know where to go.

As a result, the good players on the Takeda family's side also appeared one after another. Tsuchiya Shoji, born in Takeda Shingen's side of the people, and as one of the six members of the Okujin Xi group, he was also one of the later Takeda twenty-four generals.

However, Tsuchiya Shoji not only did not have the upper hand in the opponent's fight, but was defeated by the white-clothed Hojo family samurai with a wooden sword. Everyone in the Takeda family knew that the man in front of him was not inferior to Hojo Tsunari in his martial arts.

Then Kohata Nobusada, the son of Kohata Kenshige, and Kiso Yoshimasa of the Kiso family of Fukushima Castle, played one after another, and they were defeated one after another.

"Isn't there no one in the Takeda family who is my opponent of Hideyin Kamiizumi?"

Hideyin Kamiizumi? Li Xiao suddenly thought of a person, could it be that this person is the head of the sixteen guns in Ueno at this time, known as this Ueno gun, the son of Ueizumi Hidetsuna? ”

Umiizumi Hidetsuna is also the later Umiizumi Nobutsuna, the founder of the new Yin Stream, one of the two great sword saints of the Warring States, after Tsukahara Bu Ling, Umiizumi Hidetsuna succeeded his master Tsukahara Bu Ling, the first master of swordsmanship.

And the swordsmanship of Ueizumi Hideyin in front of him naturally got the true inheritance of his old bean Ueizumi Hidegang.

As for why Ueizumi Hideyin was the Hojo family, it is said that when Kamiizumi Nobutsuna traveled around the world, he had instructed Hojo Shiyasu's swordsmanship, and Hojo Shiyasu was very convinced of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's swordsmanship, and let the first fierce general under his command Hojo Tsunade worship Kamiizumi Nobutsuna as a teacher.

At that time, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's wife had died, and Hojo Tsusunari married his daughter to Umiizumi Nobutsuna, and the two became close to each other, forming a father-in-law, son-in-law, master and apprentice.

Later, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna was recruited by Nagano Yoshimasa, the head of the Nagano family in Minowa Castle, to work for him, and before leaving, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna asked his sister-in-law Ueizumi Hideyin to leave the Hojo family and handed him over to Hojo Tsusunari to take care of.

At this time, one of the six members of the same name as Tsuchiya Shoji, Sanzhi Shouyou, who was ranked among the twenty-four generals of Takeda, was also defeated by Hideyin Kamizumi and defeated.

Shangquan Xiuyin was young and vigorous, and after defeating several generals of the Takeda family in a row, his bearing became even more arrogant, and then he suddenly asked: "I heard that there is a samurai from the Ming Kingdom in the Takeda family, who once defeated Hui Hugong in the battle of Kawanakajima, I don't know if he is present at the moment, can he dare to compete with me?" ”

While speaking, Li Xiaozheng slowly swallowed a glass of sake, and when he heard Shangquan Xiuyin's challenge, he couldn't help choking the wine in his throat and coughed loudly.
