Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 258 Wedge Array

"Return to the lord, the Uesugi army is now, about two hundred distances in front of our army. Baidu search: New Century 卐小卐说卐罓卐"

In fact, without seeing Fantou's response, Li Xiao also saw the slowly moving flag with the character "Pi" and the flag seal of the chaotic "Dragon".

Uesugi Kenshin we met again.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao looked solemn, strangled the truce, and said loudly: "Stop the whole army."

"The whole army lined up, Bushi Nation's phalanx, against the Shangshan army"

As the order passed, Li Xiao's army was displayed in front of the Uesugi army and regrouped.

The ranks of the army issued a military order to reorganize the team, each of them took their place, and the armors collided and tinkled between the runs.

On the other side of the Uesugi army, Kenshin Uesugi sat high on the horse, watching the formation of the Takeda army with the generals.

Looking at the Takeda army's formation from loosening, regrouping, and then to the array, each occupying its place, the whole process, it can be seen that Li Xiaojun's rush, but not scattered, step by step.

"Takeda Junguo is really powerful. I didn't expect Li Xiao to have been over two years, but he really asked him to train into a good soldier." Kamijou Masaman said objectively.

"Don't be afraid, please let me lead the Lang Dang to attack Li Xiao's main formation." Qimoto general Kojima Yataro took the initiative to ask Uesugi Kenshin to fight.

Masanori Kamijou hurriedly stopped saying: "I don't know if you can see that Li Xiaojun's formation is very strange. The Iron Cannon Team is not at the forefront, but placed on both sides of the reserve team."

After the meeting, the generals took a closer look. It was exactly as Kamijou Masahiro said.

Masanori Kamijou said solemnly: "If we don't understand the reason why Li Xiao made such a formation, we are likely to suffer a big loss. We must know that the other party has defeated the famous general of the Saito family."

Oni Kojima Yataro grunted and said, "If there is anything weird, let me try it. Is it possible that the enemy's tactics will not go to war if I don't understand it?"

"This matter is abnormal, we can't be cautious," said Masanori Kamijou loudly.

"Master Kamijou, please respect yourself."

"enough."

Kenshin Uesugi raised his hand to stop the quarrel between the two generals, pointed his whip at Li Xiaojun's army, and said: "Just now, there are three Takeda army units, and Yang's unit is the fastest to complete the formation. This should be Li. Akatsuki has been standing with Shinano for the longest time, so he is the most elite. Next is the left wing, and the right wing is holding the third-order Qiqi flag. I guess it should be the army of the Hida Ema family, and Jiangma The army assembles the army formation the slowest."

"So don't care about the military forces of the Takeda family, take the Jiang Ma army first, and defeat him first, so Li Xiao's position will be destroyed without attacking."

When Li Xiao saw Uesugi's riding team from afar, he had already understood Uesugi Kenshin's tactics.

Kenshin Uesugi was about to attack the Jiang Ma army, the weakest left wing.

Damn it.

Li Xiao secretly held the whip and attacked the Jiang Ma army on his left wing, so that the iron cannons of his Shengang and Snake Tail two units would not be used.

In the end, he can't let his iron cannon learn like a bow and arrow, go over the head of the Jiangma Army, and shoot at the Shangshan Army.

Originally wanted to use the western phalanx to give Uesugi Kenshin a surprise, but Uesugi Kenshin really couldn't underestimate him, avoiding the importance and neglecting him. He was asked to carefully prepare tactics in one go, and he couldn't use it.

Li Xiao thought of this secretly, and then his face was relieved with a smile. If everything goes well on the battlefield, it would be unexpected.

However, Uesugi Kenshin's tactics, I Li Xiao is not without a countermeasure, in that case, you can see the results of my two years of ruling the army.

"Order Jiang Majun to stop advancing, Shen Gangbei, Snake Tailbei forward, cloth wedge-shaped array"

The so-called wedge array, also known as the oblique line array, is to change the parallel battle line and arrange the formation into a seesaw-like array with one high end and one low end.

It was used for the first time in history. It was used by the famous Thebes of Ancient Greece, Epamenonda, when he defeated Sparta at the Battle of Leuctra.

At that time, in order to defeat Sparta, the first in the Greek land warfare, Ibamenonda concentrated his superior force on the left wing, making the left wing higher than the right wing, protruding from the strong left wing, and taking the lead in defeating the enemy to protect the weaker right wing. Law.

However, this tactic was later improved in the hands of Emperor Fred, and it became a tactic specifically suitable for musket shooting.

Li Xiao followed the example of Ipamenonda. The wedge-shaped array of Fred the Great was not used for offense, but for defense. He had to prepare it with the gods and the snake's tail to protect the weak side of the Jiang Ma army. More importantly, it sets the advantage of iron cannon firepower.

Kojima Yataro tried his best to spur the hip horse, galloping forward, behind him was followed by hundreds of Uesugi's Habanero horseback riding team.

They are all elite warriors of the Uesugi Army. Many people have followed Uesugi Kenshin to unify Echigo and go out to Kanto, Odawara fought Hojo, and Kawashima's rival Takeda Shingen.

Everyone is a warrior who has experienced many battles.

In Shirane Mountain, Iwaji Castle, this elite banner army has never played against Takeda Katsurai and Li Xiao.

Especially Shirane Mountain, Kojima Yataro and Uesugi Kenshin's banner army, watched Li Xiao lead the Takeda family cavalry, in their own army, can get in and out.

As the elite of the Uesugi army, they had to protect the Uesugi family's main formation and could not attack.

This made this group of warriors all suffocated, wishing to show themselves behind this battle, the shame of losing their blood on Shirane Mountain.

Just as Uesugi Army General Oni Kojima Yataro led his army to attack the Jiang Ma Army on Li Xiaojun's left wing, he saw Li Xiaojun's right wing actually rounding to his right.

A sneer appeared on Kojima's face at this time, thinking that using infantry to circumvent the cavalry is definitely a foolish move. Does Li Xiao really understand the military strategy?

"Don't worry about it, just focus on what's in front of you."

Yataro Kojima thought of this, and at the same time he speeded up his horse. He wanted to go one step faster than Li Xiao, first defeat his left wing, and then make contributions to the Uesugi family.

Following this, more than a hundred Uesugi army horse-riding squads with the flag of "Pi" on their backs were placed in an assault queue, like a black torrent, following Kojima Yataro to the Jiangma army assault.

"Very well, it seems that Uesugi Army General is really ignorant. The opponent should be Yataro Kojima."

Li Xiao picked up his horse whip and hit it lightly in his palm. Seeing that the other party fell into his trap without realizing it, a smile appeared on his face.

When he chose to join the battle here, Li Xiao also had his own considerations. The Jiang Ma army was leaning on the direction of the Hongan Temple's main formation.

This fact also prevented the Uesugi cavalry from attacking their left wing in a roundabout way.

However, looking at the opponent's forehead play style, it seems that this has not been taken into consideration at all, which makes Li Xiao feel relieved.

"Lord, Kamiokabei has arrived."

Soon after, another ambassador reported.

"Master, Snake Tail has also arrived."

"Very good." Seeing that the enemy cavalry was less than a hundred distances from the front of the Jiang Ma Army, Li Xiao waved his whip and said: "Order the iron artillery team to go out and arrange them in three rows."

Suddenly chanted loudly.

Originally arranged in a phalanx of the West, the iron guns on the left and right wings of the Gun Foot Lights were light.

Now they started to run to the front, as Li Xiao instructed to arrange them in three rows before and after the front.

Now in front of Li Xiaojun's formation, the Snake Tail is in front of the right wing, Shengang Bi is located, slightly behind the Snake Tail, and the Jiang Ma Army is at the end of the left wing.

Right now the iron cannon team has entered the position, the front iron cannon general Xiaoxian Obat shouted, and the iron cannon's light body twisted forty-five degrees.

As for the Uesugi Army Horseback Riding Team, which is charging towards Li Xiaojun's left wing, its flanks have been completely exposed to the Li Xiaojun's iron artillery team.

"The first list of guns."

The Iron Cannon Team raised the iron cannon neatly, holding the gun in both hands on the chest.

In front of them, the sturdy and vigorous Uesugi army horseback samurai whizzed past. The riding warriors of the Uesugi Army rode their horses and whips, and billowing smoke was rolled up under their horses' hooves, and they were rushing toward the Jiangma Army force like thunder and lightning.

"aim"

As the impact speed of the Uesugi Army Riding Team accelerated, the shadow of every iron cannon, the figure of the Uesugi Army Horseback Warrior was gradually magnifying. Everyone took a sigh of relief at this moment. It was a veteran who had been on the battlefield. At this moment, it was as if a sledgehammer was hammering in his heart, with a slight sweat on his forehead.

But at this moment they raised the bar of the gun straight and fixed their eyes on the target. Their ears ignored the thunderous sound of the horse riding on the ground, leaving only the sound of the fire rope burning.

At the Uesugi army's main formation, General Uesugi waited to see the strange formation of the Takeda army. He was immediately puzzled and speculated about Li Xiao's intentions.

Many people had the idea of ​​Kojima Yataro, thinking that Li Xiao wanted to use infantry to round the flank of the Uesugi army and had surrounded the Uesugi army.

But in the eyes of the general Uesugi who knew Li Xiao was powerful, Li Xiao would never have made such a low-level mistake.

"Impossible, we are probably the trap of Li Xiaozhi." Yoshiki Murakami remembered the battle that he and his father Yoshiki Murakami, when he and his father Yoshiki Murakami, were chasing Li Xiao in my wife county, and Li Xiao fought the whole army by flooding.

He was very wary of Li Xiao in his eyes.

However, as soon as he said this, many Uesugi generals came out to refute, thinking that he was too jealous of the other party.

Although Kenshin Uesugi had been standing, he had a premonition of anxiety when Oni Kojima Yataro just rushed into the battle. When he saw Li Xiaojun's army move, his anxiety became more intense.

When Li Xiaojun placed the iron artillery team in front of the position, he was stunned. This movement of Li Xiaojun, at this moment, the flanks of the riding team of the ghost Kojima Yataro was not completely exposed under the muzzle of the Li Xiaotie artillery team.

"not good."

Kenshin Uesugi stood up suddenly and said loudly: "Hurry up, blow the horn, let Kojima Yataro retreat."

"The lord ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ can't retreat now." Masanori Kamijou said aside.

"If you can't retreat, you must retreat." Uesugi Kenshin added, staring fiercely at the center of the battlefield.

"Yes, lord, hurry up and play the horn."

Woo

Soon after, the dull Fasnail blew up from the Uesugi army position.

Listening to the voice of the Fasnail, Li Xiao smiled slightly and said: "I only wake up now, it's too late."

After speaking, Li Xiao pressed his hand down and gave the order to shoot.

"shooting"

General Iron Cannon Xiaoxian Xiaoba shouted, slashing the sword in his hand.

Immediately on the battlefield, there was the sound of popping beans, banging subway cannons. . ..
