Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 117: Surrender before the battle

The fire in the city of Yanqi city was blazing, and the four fields were brightly illuminated.

   Takeda Katsuyoshi, Li Xiao, Sanada Masayuki, Oguma Asahide, Baba Masabo, Atobe Masatada, Akiyama Masahiro, and other generals from the Takeda family climbed on the arrow scull of Sotomaru Tengumaru and watched the Echigo army at night.

   Masao Sanada said: "Although the Azuma-gun is not far from Echigo, but the mountains are blocked, these tens of thousands of Uesugi army gathered here after leaving Echigo, but it is not easy to supply it."

Daxiong Chaoxiu shook his head and said, "Master Sanada, do you want to attack the Echigo Army Food Road, or wait for the Echigo Army to retreat? I have been by Uesugi Teruho for many years, and I know how to supply the Echigo Army. .look!"

   Daxiong Chaoxiu reached out his finger to Uesugi Kenshin's camp, and saw that there were several horseback riding teams holding torches in the distance, or full-loaded small lotus teams, one after another, going back and forth in the camp.

   Daxiong Chaoxiu explained: "The Echigo Army's method is to supply on-site."

At the beginning, the wars Uesugi Kenshin fought were all domestic wars. The two armies fought back and forth in Echigo. They usually only took half a day and a few days away, and they just walked. So the so-called logistics are soldiers. There is no way to talk about the so-called large-scale logistical supply of the waist (dry food bag) carried on the body.

After    went to Kanto and Chuanzhongdao, they all fought on the territory of other countries, so the problem of logistical supply also came. If you want to supply from Echigo, you have to cross the mountains, and the transportation is not convenient and it is very difficult.

   Therefore, Uesugi Kenshin generally resorts to means of supplying on the spot, in other words, looting on the spot.

   It may be that Kenshin Uesugi usually believes in the narrow scope of justice, and his justice has not spread to ordinary people.

   Then the Takeda family will discuss various ways to relieve the siege, all of which were rejected.

   In the face of the powerful military forces of the Echigo Army, such generals as Masuko Sanada and Asahide Owong are all helpless, and even the younger generation of samurai such as Masabo Baba, Masatada Akiyama, and Akiyama are also worried.

   At this moment, there was a change in the Uesugi family barracks. I saw a large number of soldiers and horses moving back and forth in the camp.

   The Takeda family couldn't help but be surprised, Masabō Baba was taken aback and asked, "Could it be that Uesugi Terutora can't wait for a night, and is going to attack the city overnight? Do you want to beat Taiko to prepare for battle."

   "No, there is no reason for cavalry to attack the city. Let's look at the movement of the Uesugi army." Li Xiao stopped.

   Sure enough, I saw the Uesugi barracks door open, and a group of nearly a hundred horses of Echigo cavalry galloped in, and then stopped beyond the range of the iron cannon from the city.

   The Takeda Army did not know what was going on, and the soldiers on duty at night began to talk a lot.

   Li Xiao also saw in the flames, more than a dozen Echihou generals dressed in eye-catching armors pointed at the castle of Iwagaki.

   At this time, a horseback warrior in the Uesugi army came to the city on horseback and shouted: "I am the diplomatic envoy of the Uesugi family, please don't shoot!"

   The horseback warrior shouted several words in succession, galloping down the Malay city.

   Takeda Katsuura was on Tengumaru’s arrow scull, and shouted at the opponent: "There is nothing to say, reply to His Royal Highness, I will fight against him."

The horseback warrior turned his horse's head and came to Takeda Katsura's arrow scull. He raised his head and said, "It turns out that it is His Royal Highness Katsurai, who is in Shimosenzaka Kei. Your courage in the battle at Shirane Mountain has made me the emperor's army. I admire them from above and below, but at the moment, my Echihad army has surrounded this place with tens of thousands of troops. Can I hold the city with the strength of my Royal Highness? My Royal Highness Huihu is kind and respects Your Excellency as a brave general, let alone look at it. In this scene of the soldiers in the whole city, so I was sent..."

"It's nonsense," Masyuki Sanada was standing next to Takeda Katsuyori, and shouted, "His Royal Highness is not ashamed. Since our army can defeat him once with a widow, naturally we can defeat him a second time. , The soldiers after the transfer came out, and I don’t know if the rear is safe? Uesugi family has the highest in the east, the Lu Ming family is watching, and there is a chaos in the west. I am afraid that when my family master hears the news, he will wield his army and leave Chuanzhong Island for one day. And in the next spring mountain city, you will be the dogs of the mourning family."

   In front of the scolding, the two sides are talking to each other.

The Echigo samurai Chisaka Kei said that the Echigo soldiers wanted to crush the resistance of the Takeda army, but the Takeda family retorted with the Echigo army’s full force and the emptiness of the old nest to shake the morale of the Echigo army. .

This Chisaka Kei personally heard the words, but he has not been refuted, and laughed: "Your excellency is sharp, is it the resourceful Sanada Isaburo? It is a pity that you are so wise, but you don't know the general trend. Take down the Iwasaki Castle fee. A few days after winning our army. Your Royal Highness Shenglai, you can go your own way, but the soldiers in the whole city have the same idea as you? They have wives and children at home, are they not afraid of death? His Royal Highness, uphold the righteousness, will definitely treat the descendants , As long as you are willing to leave the city and surrender, His Royal Highness can guarantee..."

"shut up!"

boom!

   I only heard the sound of an iron cannon, which was extremely harsh at night.

   The projectile hits before Chisaka Kei’s kiss. Qiansaka Jing was caught off guard, saw his horse shake, and he fell off the horse, but he didn't have any China Railway Cannonballs.

I saw that on the arrow scull, Li Xiao was holding the iron cannon in one hand and the trigger in the other. He stood there and said: "This shot is just a warning. Don't think you are an envoy. We dare not kill you. Go back and report. His Royal Highness, my Takeda family members are united, and there will never be anyone who surrenders."

   Sensaka Kei re-climbed on the horse again, barely controlling the frightened horse and returned to the Echigo Army.

   At this time, another general of the Echihou Army, galloping towards the city. But this time he changed to a few tens of meters away from the city, and he stopped.

   The big bear rushed toward the other side and shouted: "His Royal Highness Ruohuihu just sent people to vainly try to surrender our army and shake the military's spirit. This method is too despicable."

   saw the opponent raise the whip in his hand, pointed to the arrow, and said loudly: "Chaoxiu, don't come here unscathed!"

   I saw Da Xiong Chaoxiu suddenly, his face changed drastically, he held the guardrail, and tremblingly said: "Lord... Father... Da... People!"

   Takeda Katsuyoshi, Li Xiao, and Sanada Masayuki were shocked when they heard this, and looked down the castle together in disbelief.

   Li Xiao saw the horseback riding warrior wearing a gold pocket on his head, wearing a lustrous belly, holding the rein in one hand, and a riding whip in the other. It was Kenshin Uesugi who had fought him on the island of Chuanzhong.

   Kenshin Uesugi is famous all over the world, and even the enemy Takeda army is deeply impressed!

   And the Takeda army in the city heard that Kenshin Uesugi dared to commit a risk personally and came so close to the city.

   Suddenly, the soldiers of the Takeda Army were all excited, and many of them squeezed their heads. The narrow openings of the rows of curved wheels were full of faces. They squeezed their seats one by one, and looked in and out, all wanting to see the "Echigo Dragon", the legendary Uesugi Kenshin, the incarnation of the "Visamon Tenjin".

   Uesugi Kenshin urged the "Release Maoyue" and walked left and right, the purpose of which was not to stay in place, to let the iron cannon bow and arrow aim and be sniped.

   He saw this scene on the tower, he couldn't help but smile~www.wuxiamtl.com~ He just took a few steps forward and stood on his horse, just letting you see clearly.

   Kenshin Uesugi lifted his head, revealing his face, and shouted: "Yes, I am Teru Uesugi!"

   The Takeda Army on the castle heard of this, they all looked incredulous, and they looked at each other and said.

   "It's really His Royal Highness Huihu."

   "Look at it."

   I saw Kenshin Uesugi still sitting on the horse and walking slowly. His decisive attitude made the Takeda family of the castle feel at ease, including several generals, who were heartbroken.

   Masao Sanada rushed down the arrow scull, and asked the Takeda family iron cannons, "At this distance, if you call the iron cannons, can you hit Uesugi Teru-tora?"

  The Takeda Army’s iron cannons thought about it and said, “Within this distance, it’s too difficult for one or two iron cannons to hit, unless dozens of iron cannons are transferred to fire a salvo, and there is a 70% chance.”

   "Okay!" Masayuki Sanada nodded, and said in a deep voice, "Hurry up and transfer the iron cannon team here. I have to see if Uesugi Teruto is really blessed by the God of Bishamon."

   When he went out to Kanto last year and besieged Hojo's Odawara, all the Hojo's generals saw Uesugi Kenshin alone, coming within the range of the Hojo's iron cannon, and drinking alone.

   The dozens of iron cannons dispatched by the Hojo family to shoot were light-footed, and the bow-foot light was as light as the upper body of a ghost. No matter how you shoot, it will not hurt Kenshin Uesugi.

   At that time, even Hojo clan Yasushi exclaimed that Uesugi Kenshin was really a ghost.

   Just listen to Uesugi Kenshin saying loudly at this time: "I just raised the iron cannon to shoot, is it Li Xiao-sama?"

   Li Xiao stood on the arrow scull, looked at Uesugi Kenshin, and said: "His Royal Highness Meng Huihu asked, it is Li Xiao, Kawanakajima, His Royal Highness really has the same style."
