Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 13: Battle of Chuanzhong Island (3)

"Report to the lord, that the Takeda Family Rangers are five hundred red cavalry from the Iitomi War Department, and they are attacking our army's main line."

   Uesugi Kenshin just nodded.

   "The second squadron is the Baba Minbu army, with a strength of about 1,300."

   "The third division is the Sanada bullet team, about 800 people, directly attacking our army's main line."

   After listening to the scout's report, several generals of the Echigo Army looked at each other, knelt down in front of Uesugi Kenshin, and persuaded in unison: "Please leave this place immediately."

Kenshin's face was solemn and silent, and his generals looked at each other. They didn't know what the lord was thinking at the moment. The moment Takeda Rangers appeared in the Echigo Army, the battle situation had already reversed, and the situation would be unfavorable. The situation of the Echigo Army continues, and if it continues to fight hard, the entire army is in danger of being wiped out.

   At this time, Kenshin Uesugi stood up suddenly, clenched his fists, and said, "Give me one more hour."

The generals all know the meaning of Uesugi Kenshin's words. The battle was once in a direction that was very unfavorable to the Takeda family. But who would have expected Takeda Nobuhiro to be so resistant and Suwa's support came so just right, but Even so, giving the Echigo Army another hour will surely be able to break through the Takeda Army's army formation.

   "It's useless to regret it now, Lord." Naoe Mizuna persuaded him.

Kenshin Uesugi laughed and looked at Naoe Mizuna's words: "I don't know how to advance and retreat. If the order goes on, the new force of Army A, 10,000, appeared in the rear, telling them to face the new force of Army A and gather in Yawata. The original west, then retreat to Zenkoji Temple"

   "The teams fight desperately and break the blood. They must retreat to Zenkoji!"

"Yes."

   After receiving the order of Uesugi Kenshin, Chuanqi scattered around and announced the retreat to the teams in the fierce battle.

   At the same time, Shingen Takeda also issued an order to pursue the Echihou Army. The Takeda Army who had been holding on left one after another, stepping forward to entangle the Echihou Army and retreating.

   It turned out that the crane wing formation adopted by the Takeda army was a semi-encircled formation. After switching from defensive to offensive, the two wings firmly clamped the Echihou army like a pair of pliers, preventing the opponent from pulling away.

   This is exactly what Takeda Shingen had planned to set up a crane wing formation!

   At this moment in history, the Takeda Nobuhiro team at the tip of the crane wing has collapsed due to the death of its general and is unable to stop the army. However, due to the appearance of Li Xiao, the Takeda Nobuhiro team still had combat effectiveness, which further delayed the enemy's retreat. As a result, the Echigo Army suffered more casualties than in history.

   At this moment, Li Xiao was no longer in the team's formation. He mounted his chestnut horse, turned and galloped towards the main formation behind the Takeda family with a spear in his hand.

  If it is true as the legend in history, there will be a "one ride" between Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin.

   At this moment, Kenshin Uesugi must personally lead a light cavalry assault and go straight to the main formation of the Takeda army.

  The reason is very simple. Right now, the Takeda Army sees a big victory imminent, and is in full pursuit. There is no force to defend and intercept. Instead, it is the moment when the defense is the weakest. This is indeed the best time to turn defeat into victory.

   And Uesugi Kenshin himself was keenly catching this moment, riding the gap of the Takeda army's defensive omission, and heading straight for Takeda Shingen himself. If Shingen Takeda's head can be cut down, the Takeda family will undoubtedly be the loser no matter what the two armies are in this battle of Kawasaki Island.

   The retainers will not be able to face a Takeda clan without Shingen. It is foreseeable that not only the inside of the Takeda clan will fall apart, but the entire Shinano area that they occupy will also be lost under the offensive of Echigo.

   At that moment, for Li Xiao, what could be more meritorious than saving him before he went to battle? Thinking of gold, territory, and the docile Japanese beauty, Li Xiao couldn't help humming.

   At this moment, the Takeda Yoshinobu team was regrouping after retreating. Takeda Yoshinobu's performance in this battle can be described as terribly terrible, failing to see through the army's tricks to lure the enemy, violating Shingen's insistence on orders, and rushing into deep encirclement.

   not only led to the collapse of the Takeda family's right-wing front, but also involved the rescue of the fierce generals. After Takeda Yoshinobu escaped the siege, more than half of his subordinates had been damaged.

At this moment, Takeda Yoshinobu happened to see Li Xiao who was speeding past the battlefield and asked left and right: "Our army is chasing Etsuhou army, why this person is not advancing but retreating, and there is no centipede flag finger behind him. Obviously it's not a messenger."

   One of Takeda Yoshinobu's subordinates said, "I recognize him. He is a newly recruited samurai from the lord."

   "That's right, this person's mind is unpredictable shortly after he rejoined the lord, and it is impossible to say that he is an agent of the Echigo Army."

   "Looking at the direction he is going to go to the lord's main line, is it possible that he has an unruly attempt to the lord."

   Takeda Yoshinobu sternly said: "In any case, he should not be allowed to approach his father. You must send someone to stop him."

   Li Xiao was riding a horse to gallop, when he saw Takeda Yoshinobu on the side, a dozen cavalry suddenly rushed out, and the target came straight to him.

   and the leading cavalry shouted loudly: "Stop, stop."

   Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then he understood. He couldn't help but cursed in his heart. He really answered that sentence, not afraid of enemies like wolves, but teammates like pigs.

   Li Xiao ignored these dozen rides, but instead slapped a few lashes wildly, surpassing their interception, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com quickly rushed towards Takeda Shingen's main formation.

   When Li Xiao was speeding up, when he got rid of the enemy's pursuit, he saw several cavalry stop their horses and drew out bows and arrows to shoot at Li Xiao.

   "Nima."

   Li Xiao cursed, it was too late to avoid him, he was not a master of riding, and the stunt of hiding in the stirrup was only heard. Seeing a few arrows shot at him, he could only use his gun to parry. Fortunately, all the others missed, and only one shot on his right shoulder.

   Just when Li Xiao thought it was going to be a tragedy, he realized that there was no pain in his shoulder. It turned out that the arrow did not penetrate the armor, but instead hit the large sleeve of the arrow, and was caught in the middle of the armor.

   Li Xiao secretly cried out good luck, broke the arrow shaft on his right shoulder into two pieces, and then continued to ride a horse.

  Takeda Shingen guards the soldiers and horses of the main formation and has already attacked and chased the Echigo army. Therefore, the samurai and the surname guarding Takeda Shingen are only seven or eight people, and the rest are just non-combatants such as flag holders, pharmacists, and prayer monks.

   At this moment, Shingen Takeda is sitting on a wide bench in heavy armor, holding a small fan-like military outfit in his right hand, his face is solemnly thinking about the battle, and the close-fitting small surname knelt down on his right with the sword in his hand.

   The sun slanted to the west, and a strong **** wind was blowing on Yawatahara, causing the banners of Takeda Hirohito painted on the surrounding array to shake.

   What followed was a screaming horse roar. Takeda Shingen could clearly see that a monk-shaped samurai wearing silk cloth was astride a beige war horse, and he was coming straight to the main formation with his hand waving a sword.

   Even though they were tens of meters apart, the moment they looked at each other, they instantly realized who the other party was.

  Rao is that Takeda Shingen has always been calm and composed. At this moment, he couldn't help sitting away from the wide bench, and said in shock, "Uesugi Masato."
