"Takeda Nobuyoshi, do you dare to fight me?"

Kakizaki Keijia roared in front of the battle again.

Xin Fan can't remember how many times this is the Jing family's invitation to fight.

After the "Suwa Divine Army" that came to his aid was also completely annihilated by the Uesugi army's ambush, Kakizaki Keijia, the commander of the right wing of the Uesugi army under the main attack, became more and more arrogant.

In addition to repeatedly leading the charge, Kakizaki Keijia took the lead and had already killed many high-ranking samurai in the Takeda army in a heads-up manner.

Every time he won a heads-up victory, he had to shout and invite Xin Fan to fight.

At this time, Shinshigeru had just sent out Zhujiao Huding and Takeda Nobuyo, his face was a little bitter, and in front of him stood a delicate-looking Ashigaru, whose facial lines were soft and his hair was so smooth that it was almost impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman.

"Why is it only here now?"

"When I came, I was intercepted by the Echigo early strike group on the road, so I was a little slower."

Not only is it difficult to distinguish between men and women, but even the voice is unusually soft and pleasant.

"These are the letters and tools that the lord has ordered to be handed over to the adults."

He presented the letterhead to Xin Fan with both hands, and then untied a musket from his shoulder and held it in front of him.

Xin Fan said that the letter was hastily browsed, and sneered:

"Sasa-sama is so confident that I think I, Takeda Nobuyoshige, will definitely accept his suggestion and kill Kakizaki Keijia?"

The ashiki was stunned for a moment, and then said:

"My lord said you would."

"He's right, but he's not entirely right."

Nobu Fan took the letter into his arms and took the iron cannon with a slightly special shape from Chiba's hand.

"This is the most advanced flintlock pistol in the Sasa family, why doesn't this one have a bayonet? I'm very interested in this new type of iron cannon, and when you get back, ask him to send some more. ”

After a slight pause, he added:

"Money is not an issue."

"Hay, if you are an adult, the villain will definitely bring it."

"But what...... If you use this new musket to snipe at Kakizaki Keiya, it's probably too easy, and it's easy to fall off, so you might as well bring him back to Sasa-sama. ”

Xin Fan looked at the flintlock pistol for a long time, but he couldn't see a reason, so he simply ignored it and threw it to Chiba again.

Then, he took an old-fashioned iron cannon from the guard behind him, glanced at the tall figure galloping back and forth on the line between the two armies, and immediately lit the arquebus.

"After today's battle, go back, Chiba, and serve Sasa-sama well."

Chiba was slightly stunned, a little overwhelmed.

"Your mission as a spy ends here...... From now on, there is no relationship between you and me, so serve your lord and Sasa Izosuke well. ”

As soon as the words fell, a "bang" thunder sounded in everyone's ears, and the arquebus in Xin Fan's hand emitted a puff of white smoke, choking Xin Fan couldn't help coughing.

Distance...... Kakizaki Keijia, who was fighting with a Takeda family samurai, froze and fell from his horse.

There was a bloody hole in his left chest, from which red and purple blood flowed incessantly.

"Masaka ......"

For a while, the Jing family couldn't accept the fact that they were sniped.

"What a despicable villain."

He lay on the ground for a while, recovering a little from the vertigo of the fall, and then stood up trembling with his spear in hand.

A young warrior with a cool appearance rushed over:

"Kakizaki Keijia, take your life!"

The young man made a big knife with a curved arc, and took advantage of the opportunity of the Jing family's serious injuries and weakness, and cut off the head of the Jing family with only one knife.

After that, the Kakizaki Keijia was picked on a spear and followed the young man to rush around, and the left wing of the Takeda Army, which was originally suppressed by the Jing family, ushered in a rare turnaround, and their morale was greatly boosted, forcing the Uesugi Army back more than a dozen steps in one go.

In the left wing army in the distance, Takeda Nobuyoshi wiped away the tears choked by the gunpowder smoke and smiled with satisfaction:

"Sun Liu has succeeded...... In fact, even if I hadn't fired this shot, Kakizaki Keijia would have died sooner or later. ”

This seemed to be said to Chiba Mochizuki beside him, and Chiba couldn't help but feel a sense of relief, waiting for Xinfan's next words attentively.

"It's just the courage of a horseman."

Chiba Ben was still looking forward to Nobu Shige's evaluation of Kakizaki Keijia, but this evaluation was so simple and mean that he lost interest.

He came to the Takeda army as an envoy, and now there is no possibility of retreating, so he can only wait for today's battle to pass, and sneak back quietly at night.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a team of the Uesugi family rushed in.

The leading horseback samurai was stout, and although he was not as tall as Kakizaki Keiya, he was as wide as ever.

This man stabbed several people to death in one breath with a large gun, and quickly rushed into the formation with more than a dozen horsemen before the ashigaru could react.

"Nobuyhiro Takeda, your head is mine!"

The samurai on horseback laughed wildly, and Chiba Mochizuki couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw him in the crowd.

This person was born as a close attendant of the Kanto Governor Uesugi Terutora, and was a famous warrior in the army, Yataro Onitajima.

When he was observing Kojima Sadako, Takeda Nobuyoshi had already picked up his gun and mounted his horse to meet him.

"My head is still on my body, and your Excellency said this too soon."

Shin Fan's voice is loud, his tone is calm and powerful, just like the Dinghai Divine Needle in the Takeda Army, wherever he goes, the soldiers will settle down and regain their fighting spirit.

"In Shimokojima Sadako! Lord Warper, let's see the move! ”

Yataro Onitari rushed over with such a blazing fire, the heavy gun in his hand was worth the weight of three or four ordinary guns, so he rarely stabbed with the gun, and more often than not, it was like using a knife or a hammer to smash down on Nobu Shigeru's upper body.

Xin Fan didn't say a word, but raised his spear with both arms to block it above his head.

Smack-click!

Yataro Kojima's heavy spear actually smashed Shinshigeru's spear, and the power of one blow was so powerful!

An ugly smile appeared on Sadako Kojima's ugly face.

But his smile didn't last long before it turned to surprise, then consternation, and finally ...... Horror!

Even if the spear was smashed, Takeda Nobuyoshi seemed to have expected this result a long time ago, and he didn't see any surprise at all, he just used his left arm to use the half-broken barrel to gently dispel the heavy spear that had slowed down.

Although the speed of the heavy spear slowed down, the strength was not lost too much, and what surprised Kojima Sadako was that it was Takeda Nobuyoshige's weightless kung fu.

At the same time, Xin Fan abandoned the half-cut gun in his right hand, reached out and grasped the hilt of the knife at his waist, and pulled out the knife with a snort.

Then a look of astonishment appeared on Kojima's face.

After following Sister Uesugi for so many years, Kojima Sadako is also well-informed, and knows that there is a swordsmanship called "Iaijutsu", and there is a slash called "Iaiji"!

The so-called "juhejutsu" is a simple understanding...... It's the art of drawing a sword!

Drawing a knife is a lore!

And Takeda Nobuyoshi ...... The knife has been drawn.

Taidao slashed easily into Kojima's right armpit into his chest...... Then he slashed his bones and muscles at a swift pace, breaking through the wall of his left shoulder!

Yataro Onikojima's expression was frozen on "horror".

He's dead.

Not far away, Mochizuki Chiba, who was paying close attention to Nobu Fan's every move, his body also relaxed, his originally handsome face became even paler, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

Because, until this moment, he finally understood the horror of faith.

-- As the commander of the First Army, proficient in Sinology, and always regarded as a "Confucian general", Takeda Nobuyoshi also has the "courage of a horseman"!
