Samurai of the Takeda Family

The setting sun shone diagonally above Iwagaki Castle Ninomaru.

　　 The noise of shouting and killing in the city gradually ceased, and the calm was restored again.

　　 Saito Asanobu outside the city stared at Ninomaru for a long time, his body stiffened, and finally came loose, and shook his head helplessly.

　　Takemata Kiyotuna also looked bad, and said in a deep voice, "The lord has already sent a message. If we can't attack Iwagaki tomorrow tomorrow, he will go out in person. Then I will wait for my face."

　　 Saito Asanobu said with a grunt: "If the lord himself goes out, Iwasaki Castle may be seen in a blink of an eye, but this is really a shame for me and the warriors."

Takemata Kiyozuna shook his head and said, "That's what I said, the last time Shirane Mountain fought, our army was exhausted from the long-distance attack to intercept the Takeda army, and the main force has not yet arrived. The failure is understandable, after all, except for being killed in battle. Kakizaki-sama, the Ueno heroes and the Nagano army were mostly defeated by the Takeda army, not my Echigo army’s direct line. But Iwasaki Castle, if there is any chance, I mean it’s possible. If the lord himself goes out and can’t attack it, I The Echihou Army really lost its face."

Saito Chaoxin hummed, and said: "The lord, is the incarnation of the **** of war, Bishamonten, how can he not attack this area of ​​Iwagaki Castle. Takeda Katsurai, the reason why Li Xiao's head is still there is naturally the whole trust of the lord and his banner. The luck of the army yet to come out."

　　 Takemata Kiyozuna sighed and said, "You are right, but if it is the lord's turn to go out in person, you and I will be completely shameless after Echigo."

what!

　　Takemata Kiyozuna heard Saito Asanobu's scream and was startled, and saw that he drew his knife and slashed heavily on the wooden handrail.

　　 The katana plunged deeply into the handrail.

Seeing Saito Asanobu’s face pale, Takemata Kiyomizu said with bitterness, “I have been in the Kanto Echigo since the Lord’s campaign, and I have never been disadvantaged, but why did Li Xiao suffer from this Takeda Katsurai repeatedly. Are these two really really good? Is I the nemesis of Echigo?"

　　 At this moment Ninomaruaka.

　　 Li Xiao was walking in the corridor. The corridor was full of corpses, and there was almost no place for him to settle on the road.

　　 The corpses on both sides of the Takeda Army Uesugi Army are criss-crossed, and the remaining living person is showing no strength in his body, leaning against the stone wall, leaning against it, panting.

　　 The two armies fought hard, and the Takeda army paid the price of dozens of people to wipe out all the Echigo army that broke into Ninomaru.

　　 Now after one day of war, Takeda Hiro's banner is still standing high at Ninomaru.

　　 But Changan of Tibet told Li Xiao that the stock of ammunition and arrows was only enough to support the last day of tomorrow.

　　 Li Xiao was silent when he heard this.

　　 Compared with iron cannons, bows and arrows, the scarcity of water is even more terrifying.

　　 The wounded soldiers who were wounded in the battle for the defense of the city wailed because of the lack of water to wash their wounds. The environment was harsh. They were all dry and dry, but they could not quench their thirst.

　　 Today alone, more than a dozen wounded soldiers have died in their injuries and lack of water.

　　 The night is dark.

　　 Yanqicheng has shown signs of instability in the military. The foot light began to look around for everything to drink, including muddy water in the ditch, dead people, and urine.

　　 There have been several weapon fights in the city, all because of uneven competition, and because of the water source.

　　 In order to strictly enforce the military laws, Takeda Katsuyuki ordered the big bear Asahide to slash all the twelve Ashikari soldiers who participated in the weapon battle and two samurai who took their heads.

　　 Seeing the head hanging up and down, did he settle down slightly.

　　 But this is only a temporary solution, not the root cause. Under strong suppression, if the water shortage continues, the soldiers may rise up first to rebel.

　　Ninomaru’s stable.

　　 The war horse, who had been thirsty for a few days, stared wide-eyed, and could only chew on the fodder.

　　 A row of warriors stepped forward, wrapped the eyes of their horses with cloth, and then picked up the brush to clean their horses for the last time.

　　Warhorse is the most reliable and trustworthy partner of the cavalry, especially in areas where horse resources are scarce in Japan. Individual warriors value the importance of warhorses even more than their own wives and children.

　　 But with the order, the samurai gritted their teeth and pulled out the samurai sword, went down, and stabbed their horse to death.

　　 Then they took wooden barrels to fill the blood, barrel after barrel.

More than 30 horses in the Takeda Army were killed, including Takeda Katsuyuki, Sanada Masayuki, and Ouma Asahide’s horses, especially the horses of Takeda Katsuyoshi, which he bought with a hundred kansas. Good horse.

　　 also includes Li Xiao’s chestnut horses. These horses were given by Takeda Shingen. They have followed him for a year since he traveled to Japan.

　　 The chestnut horse is not only taller than ordinary Japanese war horses, but also has a long horsepower. In the battle of Shirane Mountain, it was it that carried Li Xiao and made Li Xiao famous.

　　 At the moment, Li Xiao also cannot abandon his beloved horse.

　　 Fresh horse blood was packed in bamboo tubes and distributed to every soldier of the Takeda Army. Everyone held the pungent horse blood in their hands and drank it greedily.

　　 That night, Li Xiao went to the castle tower to look for Takeda Katsura.

　　 After the past few days, Takeda Katsurai's whole person seems to have changed a lot, with scum on his lips. The experience of the war has faded a lot of his youth and impatience, and he has also tempered a certain general and determined temperament.

　　 Now Takeda Katsuyori stared at the shining lights of the Echigo Army formation outside the window.

　　 Seeing Li Xiao coming, Takeda Katsurai asked, "Li Xiao, tell me, how many more days can we support?"

Li Xiao listened to his heart, thought for a while, and answered truthfully: "At most two days, um, if Uesugi Huihu himself does not go out in person, and luck is better, there may be a chance to support one more day. Of course this It must be a prerequisite for our soldiers and soldiers to not be mutiny due to lack of water."

　　 "Musion? Has our army reached this point?"

　　 Hearing Li Xiao's answer, Takeda Katsurai's face darkened. Although he was prepared, he nodded and said, "Two days are enough."

　　 Takeda Katsurai suddenly said: "Li Xiao, if there is a time when the city is broken, I don't think you need to stick to justice, do you understand what I mean?"

　　 Li Xiao was taken aback, the meaning of Takeda Katsuyoshi's words was clearly that when the city broke, Li Xiao surrendered to Uesugi Teruho.

　　 Takeda Katsuura paused and looked at the dialect from afar and said, "Uesugi Teruhu also cherishes your talents. Under his hand, he will definitely be more likely to stand out than follow me~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and show your talents."

　　 Li Xiao listened to Takeda Katsurai's words, and smiled slightly, thinking that Takeda Katsurai is what it is. Is it possible to follow the example of Liu Bei Baidi and ask Zhuge Liang to deliberately swindle?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Li Xiao of course shows the appearance of loyalty, with an attitude very sincerely saying: "Lord, don’t say that. His subordinates have determined that this city will coexist and die. Besides...and we also It's not that there is no chance."

　　 Takeda Katsuyori heard Li Xiao say this, his body shook, as if he had come from a desperate situation, the drowning man caught a straw.

　　 Takeda Katsurai asked anxiously: "Li Xiao, you mean we still have a chance?"

Li Xiao nodded and said: "Since the day the water was cut off, the ministers have begun to plan this final blow. Although this final blow is not sufficiently certain, at this moment, I have to take it out anyway. So your Highness , I’m here to discuss with you, and at the same time I invite Master Big Bear and Master Sanada to come and discuss together."

　　 As soon as Li Xiao's voice fell, Takeda Katsurai's eyes changed abruptly, and he said loudly, "As long as there is a chance, I will do it. Even if I die in battle, I will do it at all!"

　　 Takeda Katsurai is now full of spirits, and his spirit is refreshed. There is no way to lose hope in the battle.

　　 Li Xiao smiled bitterly, his own strategy is not very sure. But the Takeda army, including Takeda Katsuyoshi, put the hope of turning the situation around on themselves.

　　 Li Xiao stood up and walked to the window sill to look at Tengumaru under the castle.

　　 After a long time, Li Xiaocai said in a deep voice: "His Royal Highness is right. It is now at the last juncture. Even if we know that we are going to lose, we have to try. Tomorrow night is when we are desperate to fight Uesugi Teruho!"
