Chapter 317: A New Era

Mishima no Yan, the main hall of the Murakami Water Army. ◢ with ◢ dream ◢ small ◢ .lā

In order to conquer the four countries, Long Tao used this place as a temporary headquarters.

At this moment, a group of important ministers under him, such as Takekawa Nagaken, Akechi Mitsuhide, and Hosokawa Fujitaka, all gathered here, looking at Long Tao on the main throne with eager expressions.

"My lord, please make a decision early!" Akechi Mitsuhide persuaded.

"Mitsuhide, do you think I should take over as a general?" Long Tao asked with a smile on his face.

"Exactly!"

"However, I remember you once said that the nominal is just a puppet, and the nominal is the real general."

Mitsuhide replied: "The lord already occupies nearly half of Japan at this moment, and his strength is already there, Ashikaga Yoshiteru was assassinated, and Kyoto is in chaos, this is a good time for the justifiable Shangluo to beg for thieves!" ”

Long Tao shook his head and smiled: "No, even these small four countries dare to disobey me, it seems that my name and reality are not enough." ”

Hosokawa Fujitaka was puzzled: "What does the lord mean?" ”

Long Tao stood up and looked into the distance, "I haven't fought with the first person in the Warring States Period, how can I be considered worthy of it?" Turning his gaze to the generals, "I have made up my mind, you don't need to say more!" Masayuki, Hanbei, and Takake, the three of you continue to conquer Shikoku, Masayuki is the commander-in-chief, Bukit will lead my latest fleet to assist you with all your might, and then march into Kyushu after pacifying Shikoku, and the thirteen water bars are at your disposal! Mitsuhide, Fujitaka, you two go back and each have a whole army of 10,000, go to Kaga to meet me, and march to Koshin together! ”

The people had to bow down and receive the command.

Long Tao returned to Kaga, led 10,000 elite cavalry, and joined forces with Akechi Mitsuhide and Hosokawa Fujitaka to attack the Koshin Hida country.

Matsukura Castle Lord Sister Koji Yoritsuna surrendered, the Hida National Army took it bloodlessly, and the Long Tao army continued to advance eastward, and the front of the army was the Shinano area of the Takeda family.

Naturally, Takeda Shingen would not give in easily, and gathered an army of 20,000 and rushed to the junction of Shinano and Hida to prepare for a decisive battle with Long Tao.

The two armies faced each other in a plain area, and the 20,000 troops of the Takeda family were divided into three routes, with 8,000 people in the middle being Takeda Shingen's main formation, and the left and right roads were guarded by 6,000 men and horses each under the command of the two brothers Iitomi Huchang and Changjing.

"Takeda Shingen is also too arrogant, the lord is prestigious, he dares to use this army to resist our army!" After looking at the formation of the Takeda family, Yoshikawa Motoharu said disdainfully that this was his first time fighting with Long Tao, and the first fierce general of the Maori family always wanted to be active.

Long Tao smiled and said, "Is the Tiger of Jiafei the one who trusts the great?" This momentum is obviously trying to lure the enemy deeper, and Shingen is using the woodpecker tactics of his military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke! I've already sent ninjas to investigate, and the Takeda family has 50,000 troops at their disposal, so if Shingen wants to fight me, how can he only bring 20,000 people over? His own formation is just a decoy, and another 30,000 surprise troops will detour to our rear, and when we attack our main formation, it will form a flanking situation! ”

"Then what is the lord going to do?"

"Count, count." Long Tao smiled slightly, "Since Xin Xuan dares to use himself as bait, I will let him steal chickens and rice!" Later, I will lead 10,000 cavalry from my headquarters to attack the Shingen main formation, Mitsuhide, Fujitaka, and the 20,000 iron artillery team of the two of you will fall behind, and when the surprise attack team of the Takeda family appears, they will be wiped out! ”

At this time, the total number of iron cannons in the hands of all other daimyo in Japan was not 20,000, and the iron artillery team of 20,000 people was indeed an unprecedented terrorist force in this era when firearms had not yet become the mainstream, and only Long Tao's financial resources dared to play like this.

Wise Guangxiu said: "Lord, if the surprise attack force attacks from the rear, then our shooting team must meet the enemy in the rear, if the cavalry of Huchang and Changjing on both wings kills from behind us at this time, I am afraid that the iron artillery team will be difficult to resist." ”

Long Tao said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely impact them when the time comes, they have to turn back to rescue Xinxuan's main formation, and they will never be allowed to have time to attack you, haha, this is the only thing that Xinxuan has to do this time, he is too confident in his cavalry team!" ”

The horn sounded, and the formation of the two armies began to move forward, Long Tao's 10,000 elite cavalry broke out in front of the middle road, and Mitsuhide and Fujitaka were divided into two wings, deliberately lagging behind.

The sound of hooves shook the sky, the cavalry on both wings of the Takeda family had rushed out, the red reserve team was wearing red armor, forming a fiery sea, and flags with the four Chinese characters of "Fenglin Volcano" were dancing in the wind, and the momentum was shocking.

The Takeda family's red reserve team shocked Japan, Long Tao's perception enveloped the entire battlefield, and at the moment when the opponent charged, he clearly felt the slightest vibration of his own team, which was an instinctive reaction to the prestige of the Takeda family.

Long Tao turned around and looked at a cherry blossom flag with white flowers behind him, the wind swept through, as if the mountain cherry blossoms were flying all over the sky, he was full of pride in his heart, pulled out the village rain, pointed at it from afar, and laughed a few times.

"Today's match against Japan's No. 1 Takeda Akabi team is the time when the cherry blossoms are in full bloom! Ladies and gentlemen, the target is the head of Shingen, follow me! ”

One horse took the lead and rushed out, and the blood of the soldiers behind him surged, followed by a loud shout, and the horse followed closely.

When he rushed halfway, he was about to meet the two wings of the Takeda family, Long Tao's divine power surged, and a thick wave instantly enveloped ten thousand people, once the wind forest volcano was used, the speed of the ten thousand elite horsemen soared, and when the two wings of the Takeda family did not react to close, it was inserted like a wedge, and rushed straight into Shingen's eight thousand main formation.

Through the layers of red-armored soldiers, Long Tao found the majestic and imposing general inside, he stood high on the white horse, a gorgeous fiery red body, after seeing Long Tao's department suddenly accelerated, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, and his body also exuded a wave of fluctuations, instantly enveloping the eight thousand people around him.

Shingen finally used his own housekeeping technique.

This is the showdown between "Wind Forest Volcano" and "Wind Forest Volcano"!

With a wave of Xinxuan's hand, 8,000 people also began to charge, for the Takeda Red Reserve Army, holding on to the spot is just sitting and waiting to be killed, and only by attacking instead of defending can the effect of "Wind Forest Volcano" be played.

The hedging of the cavalry was extremely fast, and Long Tao's 10,000 elite cavalry and the cavalry on the two wings of the Takeda family quickly passed by, leaving hundreds of corpses each, and then collided with the Xinxuan main formation.

Long Tao rushed to the front, and with a wave of Mura Yu, the fierce sword qi slashed through the three rows of enemies, like an indestructible spear, and pierced into it with the soldiers behind him.

"Haha...... Shin Xuan, come on! Long laughter resounded throughout the battlefield.

Takeda Shingen finally changed color, and the brothers Huchang and Changjing, who were on both wings, also saw that the situation was not good, and quickly turned back to savior.

Rows of soldiers fell, flesh and blood splashed, war horses neighed in pain, in this tragic hard encounter, it was obvious that Long Tao's "Wind Forest Volcano" had won, and his troops were getting closer and closer to Xinxuan in the encirclement of soldiers.

Xin Xuan gritted his teeth, turned his horse back, and began to retreat, as long as he kept his own position, his advantage was still there, and he still had 30,000 surprise troops to go around the enemy's rear.

Takeda's main formation began to retreat rapidly, Long Tao waved his army in hot pursuit, "Fenglin Volcano" chased after "Fenglin Volcano", and the Takeda cavalry on both flanks tightened their bite behind the flanks.

A single impact caused the Honjin to fall into complete passivity, which was something that no one in the Takeda family had ever thought of beforehand, although they were cautiously arranged, they did not expect to underestimate the ability of the Ashikaga Yoshiclan, and sure enough, there was no void under the fame!

At this time, they must grit their teeth to survive this most difficult moment, and as soon as the surprise attack force appears, it will immediately turn the situation on the battlefield, and the Xinxuan and Huchang brothers have the same thoughts, and gallop on the battlefield with the same horses.

Finally, there was a deafening sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing from behind, and the surprise attack troops arrived!

When Xin Xuan's heart was relieved, a deafening sound of iron cannons sounded behind him, and after one round, another round followed......

The sound of 10,000 cannons sounding for the first time on the battlefield in Japan, Shingen never thought that the iron cannon that had to be tinkered with for a long time after a shot could produce such a shocking effect, and the sound of that round after round of shooting made his chest suffocated, and it was difficult to breathe, and he knew that he would never see the 30,000 surprise troops again......

In this battle, Long Tao annihilated more than 30,000 troops of the Takeda family, lost more than 6,000 people, and captured nearly 10,000 soldiers.

Long Tao did not deliberately chase and kill Takeda Shinxuan, let him escape back to the Takesaki Pavilion with the remnants, the Takeda family mobilized almost all the troops this time, ready to fight to the death with Long Tao, but did not expect to encounter an unprecedented blow, and finally gathered back the remnants of the defeated will be less than 10,000 people, in front of Long Tao's army, this bit of strength, like a mantis arm blocking the car.

Half a month later, Takeda Shingen led the generals to surrender in the Longtao camp, the Takeda family was completely obedient, and Japan was shaken!

Recognized as the first person in the Warring States period, the Kai Tiger Takeda Shingen, who has dominated Kai Shinshin for decades, will even bow his head and surrender!

The prestige of the Ashikaga Yoshiji finally took root in the hearts of every Japanese, and the name of the "God of War" began to spread.

After conquering the Takeda family, Long Tao did not return to Kaga, but continued to move eastward, merging with Uesugi Kenshin, and swept through the Hojo family in three months, and the Hojo clan finally surrendered after being trapped in Odawara Castle for a month.

Since then, the two male lords of the Warring States have been attached, and Oda Nobunaga has finally destroyed the Rokkaku family in these months, opened the road to Kamiraku, and sent Ashikaga Yoshiaki to the position of general.

However, the ascension of the new shogun did not cause the slightest stir, and all eyes of the world were fixed on Edo Castle, the new home of the Ashikaga Yoshiji.

In their hearts, the figure who opened up a new era in it should be a well-deserved general.
