Samurai of the Takeda Family

Hida, Kamioka Castle.

Because before that, Shingen Takeda issued a mobilization order to the three powerful families of Hida Sister Kolu, Inner Island, and Jiangma in the form of a seal judgment.

So at the beginning of March, Li Xiao arrived at Shengang City, and the army of the three powerful families had already gathered under the city.

As soon as Li Xiaofang arrived, he constantly reviewed the military forces of the three wealthy families. His Jiangma family, led by the patron Jiangma Huisheng, personally sent out a total of five hundred troops.

Jiangma family has recovered most of its vitality from the turmoil of the previous year. And Jiangma Fraser used an iron fist, pulling one faction and fighting another faction, eradicating all the factions that the Jiangma family was not subordinate to, and now it has firmly established the position of Jiangma family's governor.

This time, at the call of Takeda Shingen, 500 troops were dispatched, and Jiangma Fraser was equivalent to using all his strength.

This made Li Xiao quite satisfied. He gave the Jiangma family five hundred stone rations and one hundred guan money as a thank you on the spot.

As for the mobilization of the Inner Island family and the sister Xiaolu family, it is undoubtedly very frustrating for Li Xiao.

When Li Xiao reviewed the military strength of the Inner Island and Zixiaolu, he really felt that his temper was as good as a saint, and he didn't make it on the spot.

Back at the camp, Li Xiao held a military meeting in the name of the general.

The leading general sent by the sister-in-law’s family is the sister-in-law Raizuna.

On the military discussion, Li Xiao resisted his anger and asked her sister Koji Raizuna: "Sister Koji Eemonza, can you explain to me, what's the matter with your two hundred troops?"

Although Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang was young, the man who unified Hida in history, faced Li Xiao's angry questioning, but was very calm, saying: "But Master Ma Shou, I don't understand what you mean. Although our two hundred troops are not many, they were completely mobilized in accordance with the orders of Master Dashan, with a minimum ratio of 50 shi per person."

"Your Excellency is really eloquent." Li Xiao sneered, and then glanced at the leading general of the Neijima family, who simply didn't even say a word.

Compared with the sister Xiaolu family, the Neidao family has fewer troops this time, with only a mere 100.

Just now, Li Xiao reviewed the quality of the soldiers of the two families. Well, the problem is not how many people can describe. Specifically, the people of these two families are simply a combination of old comrades in nursing homes and children in kindergartens. They are all old and weak. Soldiers.

This group of people commit suicide collectively, and Li Xiao feels it is very difficult, even if they want them to kill.

Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang said calmly: "In fact, since last year, Master Ma Shou has been selling food and salt in Chengshengcheng and Shengangcheng. The price of food and salt has soared in my sister Xiaolu's family. The people are living in poverty. Since then, it has been very difficult to be able to go out to the army of 200. Therefore, I also invited Lord Tajima to sell food and salt to my sister's Xiaolu family, the inner island family, and the people's livelihood at a reasonable price. In this way, we have the strength to contribute to the Takeda family."

Li Xiao laughed and said, "Master Sister Xiaolu, you have misunderstood. Your Excellency is not responsible for the rise and fall of the price of internal food."

Although Li Xiao said that on the surface, she said in her heart that your sister Xiaolu's food prices have soared, but she asked for it.

In fact, since this year, under the secret solicitation and persuasion of Yixu to cultivate the land in Chang'an, Tibet, and the support of grain and grass, many people living in difficulties in the sister Xiaolu family and the inner island family have fled to Li Xiao.

The people are the cornerstone of the territory, and Li Xiao's actions in this way definitely violated the taboo of the two families.

Under this situation, the strength of the sister Xiaolu family and the inner island family has become weaker, so it is no wonder that the sister Xiaolu Laizuna is even more angry and afraid to face Li Xiao. It turns out that they are the victims.

So Sister Xiaolu, the Uchijima clan’s orders to the Takeda clan were perfunctory, and it’s not surprising that Li Xiao and them secretly demolished each other.

"Anyway, I would like to thank the two families for their assistance." Li Xiao smiled slightly.

Li Xiao thought to himself that it would be better for the Inner Island family to come to this small road, but their samurai and elite stayed in the confinement and did not go out with the army.

In this way, Li Xiao had to secretly guard against them, unable to mobilize the forces of Shengang City to support Chengsheng City.

Li Xiao made the following arrangement. Dao Shengmeng led Shengang to prepare three hundred people, and Dazang Changan led the remaining people, and then mobilized a part of Zuqing from the collar and stayed in Shengang City.

And Li Xiao sent another 50 temporary recruits led by Yokotani Yukiki to go to Gaotang City to strengthen the strength of Hirose Zongcheng, a member of the Yuli Hida country.

Gaodang Castle where Hirose Sect Castle is stationed is to defend the sister Koru family, and the Uchijima family is on the front line of Kamoka Castle, so it is necessary for Li Xiao to strengthen the defense here.

In the end, Li Xiao thought that it was necessary to stabilize the military spirit of the two families in the inner island and sister roads, so they allocated two hundred shi and one hundred shi rations to the two as a means of comfort.

After preparing for this, Li Xiao assembled the 1,100 troops from all over the Hida country to march forward.

Before the battle, the major generals and warriors of the sisters, the Jiangma family, and the inner island family were all suspicious. Can the army be defeated? Can the first power Jinbao family be defeated?

Everyone had no bottom in their hearts, but Li Xiao didn't care at all when he heard this remark. In fact, he arranged for another follow-up.

At the beginning of March, it was bright and beautiful in Kaiyue, but Hida was still not melting the snow, and Li Xiao's journey to rescue the city was not smooth.

The mountain road was still covered with snow and suitable for the passage of the army, but this could not stop Li Xiao's determination to rescue the city.

Li Xiao immediately followed the example of Shibata's attack on North 6 when he was shoveling snow, and ordered his subordinates Zuqing to shovel snow all the way through the mountain.

This journey was extremely hard, and Li Xiao's army took another three full days to reach the city under the city.

Slightly comforting is that when Li Xiao and the others arrived, Li Xiao's sun and moon double-patterned flag was also erected on the top of Chengsheng City, and the city did not fall.

At this moment, it has been nearly a month since Chengshengcheng was besieged by Shenbao's house.

The siege of the city was quite fierce, and Jinbao’s family had already attacked the Outer Maru of the city.

Seeing Li Xiao's reinforcements arrived, the head of the Shenbao family, the head of the Shenbao, decided to fight Li Xiao decisively under the city of Chengsheng, based on the principle of never vomiting the fat that was about to reach his mouth.

The reason why he made such a decision was not reckless and greedy. In the first place, Li Xiao didn't have many reinforcements.

Secondly, during the siege of the city, the head of the gods was supported by a new force led by the lord of the ancient kingdoms of the gods of the gods.

So the head of the gods and samurai divided a thousand troops to continue the siege, monitoring the Takeda family garrison in the castle city.

And he mobilized one thousand and two hundred troops to face Li Xiao's one thousand and one hundred troops.

Li Xiao saw that the Shenbao family, the number one in Vietnam, was really powerful. Not only was its strength enough to encircle the spot, it could actually fight for aid.

So Li Xiao had to switch from offense to defense, and immediately set up a position, and the Shenbao Army engaged in battle.

The chief post of Shenbao himself is a more famous general. He has experienced dozens of battles of various sizes. Although he is not victorious in hundreds of battles, he is also an excellent general. In the town of Shimao, there are two generals in the position of Terashima, as well as one of the gods, Zhang, who are all generals who can fight.

However, Li Xiaofei's national coalition army has different strengths and weaknesses, and the generals have their own ideas, and the army is disorganized, so under the battle with the Shenbao family that day, they played very passively.

If it weren't for the three hundred Kamokabei led by Dao Shengmeng who was very good at fighting, plus Li Xiao's determination and persistence, he would take the battle on the first day, this way from Hida, the reinforcements of the city would suffer a big loss.

Li Xiao could not help but be shocked when he saw the fighting power of the Jinbao family. He had no choice but to support him at this moment. If he retreats, no doubt the military spirit of Chengsheng Castle will be difficult to support. They were all his most trusted generals, and there was only one way of Kaesong surrendering.

As soon as Chengshengcheng was lost, Li Xiao's conspiracy in Yue was completely abandoned. Everything he worked so hard to manage, that is, most of the wastage, was likely to be devastated, and even Shengang City could not be kept.

Therefore, Li Xiao must not retire.

In the early morning of the second day, Li Xiaojun’s sister Xiaolu and the two military forces on the inner island had already made up their own little calculations, and they had already packed up their burdens, and prepared to run away as long as the war today is slightly unfavorable, and Jiangma The family also secretly retreated.

After yesterday's fierce battle, no one is optimistic about today's decisive battle.

But what surprised everyone was that the Jinbao family army, who had the upper hand in the battle yesterday, took the initiative to retreat and gave up the position.

What's even more incredible is that the Jinbao family also gave up the encirclement of the city that had been besieged for nearly a month, and took the initiative to withdraw its troops.

Jiang Ma Fraser, sister Xiaolu Lai Gang, and the generals came to the Li Xiaojun account to discuss. Many generals believed that the Jinbao family retreated in this way and must have tricks. It may be an ambush to attract Li Xiaojun's pursuit.

However, Li Xiao seemed to have anticipated this a long time ago, and did not answer the general's questions.

At noon, after the Jinbao family's army integrated the forces of the original besieged city, it officially began to retreat.

And Li Xiao's Feida Coalition Army drove directly into the city.

Standing on the head of Chengshengcheng, Li Xiao raised his eyes and looked over. Although the army of the Shenbao family was retreating, they were in order and did not panic at all, and the palace army responsible for blocking the pursuit in the direction of Chengshengcheng was actually the chief Shenbao. Zhi himself led his banner army as the queen, while the rest of the wealthy troops belonging to the Shenbao family retreated first.

Li Xiao, Masanobu Honda, Koichiro Kinoshita, and the generals of the joint army boarded the castle tower to observe the Jinbao family's army. Jiangma Fraser couldn't help but praise on the spot that the Jinbao chief was really a magnificent general.

Seeing that all the rich and powerful families in Hida had no confidence to fight again, Li Xiao had to give up his plan to pursue the pursuit out of the city.

Also after yesterday's battle, Li Xiao knew that only his current strength was indeed far from being the opponent of the most powerful family, guarding the presidency of the deity.

This chief priest will really be an obstacle he has to overcome to dominate Yue's rival in the future.

After entering the castle town, Koichiro Kinoshita, Xiaoxian Kobana, and the generals of Li Xiao, including Shan Huding and others, and the castle guards all looked like they had come from desperation.

Looking at these people, Li Xiao was very pleased. After this siege, Kinoshita, Kobata and their performance did not let him down, they all showed enough abilities.

This battle gave them the experience of their own responsibility, which is a rare asset. In the future, Li Xiao is convinced that these people can definitely grow into their own generals.

In the afternoon, the scouts dispatched outside the city had found out that the Shenbao family's army had indeed withdrawn from the range of Chengsheng City, and was now marching towards Zengshan City.

Knowing this news made Li Xiaojun's many generals who had been worried about him, at this moment, let go of their hearts.

However, everyone was at a loss as to why the Shenbao family made such a move and suddenly withdrew their troops from the city.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report from the city, and an envoy came from Yueshengxing Temple.

The generals were all surprised. They only re-entered the Chengsheng City today. Why can such a monk in Shengxing Temple learn the news so quickly.

Li Xiao immediately received the envoy of Shengxing Temple at the castle tower.

The envoy of Shengxing Temple wrapped cloth on the heads of the four, armed with naginata, and entered under the guard of the monks and soldiers.

The other party was an official, and as soon as he saw Li Xiao, he handed in a letter from the abbot of Shengxing Temple Xuanzong of Hongan Temple to Li Xiao.

As written in the letter of Xuanzong of Hongan Temple, Hongan Temple has decided to mobilize the believers, conquer the family of gods, break evil and show righteousness, and shine in the Buddha's teachings. Therefore, they dispatched Yue, Hida, and Noto’s believers in the Three Kingdoms. A total of 80,000 troops marched into Zengshan Castle. They decided to pull out the cancer that hindered Buddhism, the Jinbao family, and then head east, and attack Shiina family along the way. The final goal was Echigo. Shangshan Qianxin.

Xuanzong wrote to Li Xiaozhi with the hope that he could promote Jing Cong, and the Hongan Temple army would hunt in Zengshan City and attack Shenbao's house together.

After reading Xuanzong’s letter, a group of Li Xiao’s retainers exploded and talked a lot. They were all surprised at the "big vision" of monks like Hongan Temple. Not to mention the destruction of the Shenbao family, they were actually connected to the Shan family together. Gone together.

But when they heard the other party's 80,000 troops, everyone took a breath.

Li Xiao was also secretly surprised, although there may be some water in the number, and the actual combat power of these 80,000 people is also clear to Li Xiao.

But this 80,000 army is what a terrifying force for Yue Yi country ~www.wuxiamtl.com~. With this crowded strategy back then, Honganji had captured the entire Kaga country. Now it is not impossible that this scene will be repeated more and more.

Li Xiao's heart was a little uneasy at the moment, and the official of the Hongan Temple was not very respectful to Li Xiao. Indeed, compared with the Hongan Temple's 80,000 troops, Li Xiao's thousands of people are far from enough.

It's no wonder that the other party is a little arrogant.

The official also said that the reason why Honganji sent troops this time was partly because of Takeda Shingen’s request. The reason was that Takeda Shingen wrote to Honganji a month ago, asking them to move more. Eliminate the danger of the Takeda family in Etsu.

Only then did the generals understand why Li Xiao was so confident when facing Shenbao's family that he had already asked the Hongan Temple for help.

It's just that none of them could think that the Hongan Temple was so honored that it dispatched 80,000 rescuers at once.

Li Xiao couldn't help but sell the face of Hongan Temple, so he immediately replied to the Fangguan of Hongan Temple, saying that he would immediately send troops to Zengshan City to assist Hongan Temple in destroying Shenbao's house. . ..
