Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 303 The Conspiracy to Lure the Enemy

When the main reinforcements guarded by Ando arrived at Gujo Hachiman Castle, the Takeda army had already packed up and led the army away.

Hearing that the Takeda Army retreated and rescued Yawata Castle from Ando Guardian. The three thousand troops under the command were divided into two groups and deployed all the way under Yawata Castle, and the other went directly into the city.

The Ando army came to support the troops with great strength. The banner of the army was the family pattern of the Inaba family. The leading general was Inaba Sadadori Inaba, one of the three men in Mino.

In addition, there is still the banner of Takenaka, the lord of Bodhi Mountain City. (Reharu Takenaka was living in seclusion at this time. After the Oda family captured Mino, he left the Oda family as a ronin)

Of course, the most military strength is Ando's guard, the base of Ando's father and son, as well as the military strength of several small and powerful tribes under him.

The momentum of these support troops is quite large, and in the twilight, the flags and objects of the various colors cover the fields.

Seeing the strong reinforcements guarded by Ando arrived, the generals of Endo Army at the head of Yawata Castle burst into loud cheers. No matter the samurai was light, they all lifted their weapons. The sense of escape.

Immediately after Kei Takataka Endo, the sister-koji Raizuna immediately assembled 700 troops and came out to join the castle. In the Toden Mountain Castle, the Nagisa Tori Army, who was severely injured by Koichiro Kinoshita, also put together 300 troops to strengthen their prestige.

After the trio of men and horses joined together, the Meinong coalition forces surged, and they had already overwhelmed Li Xiao's Takeda army only in terms of strength.

At present, the army is strong, Endo Keitai, and sister Koji Raizuna have proposed to pursue the Takeda army and defeat Li Xiao in the first battle.

But Mamoru Ando climbed to the head of the castle and looked far away. The Takeda army's back line, who was slowly retreating, showed hesitation on his face.

Sister Koji Lai Tsuna reluctantly said: "Master Ando, ​​the Takeda army will retreat with the big tube. It must be inconvenient. If our army is chasing, if the enemy wants to protect the big tube, it will inevitably lose sight of the other and expose the flaws. At this time, we will attack it. Even if you cannot defeat the Takeda Army and capture Li Xiao alive, you can defeat the enemy."

The words of Sister Koji Raizuna immediately received the support of most people, especially the Ando Samurai, who had never fought with the Takeda Army, and were obviously not afraid.

On the scene, only Nagai Tori, and Mamoru Ando showed hesitation on his face.

These two men are all battle-tested generals. When you see that the Takeda army retreats, but the team is compact and marching in an orderly manner, you will know that this powerful team is by no means an ordinary victory.

Nagai Dori had just been defeated by Koichiro Kinoshita, so he didn't say a word, so as not to make others think that he was timid. At the same time, his eldest son was captured by the Takeda army and hoped to get him back.

What's more, for Mamoru Ando, ​​Hanbei Takenaka, the chief think tank under his command, suffered a sudden illness when he was out of battle. He is still being treated in the army and is unable to take command.

If he is still here, Mamoru Ando can also discuss with him and come up with an effective result.

Seeing everyone begging for orders, Mamoru Ando finally couldn't stand everyone's persuasion, and decided to lead the army to pursue the Takeda army.

Ando Mamoru's eldest son, Ando Sadaji, and Inaba's Sadadori Inaba, the two volunteered to lead the horseback samurai of their headquarters to pursue the retreat of the Takeda army.

Mamoru Ando promised to let the two men lead one hundred and fifty horseback warriors to go first. They only need to hinder the retreat of the Takeda army's phalanx, and the rest will launch a general offensive on the Takeda army after the headquarters are reunited. .

As for the Takeda army formation, the army had already evacuated to a certain distance from Gujo Hachiman Castle.

But when I saw the plains far away, the flags of various colors were rolling, and the soldiers knew that the enemy troops coming from Yawata Castle were not small in scale.

Right now, Li Xiaobu had formed a hollow formation with a radius, putting the big tube team, riding team, and more than 300 enemy prisoners together in the center of the battle.

Behind the flag of the temple, Shengang prepared the left wing, and the snake tail prepared the right wing slowly.

In addition to the various reserve teams, they are all their own iron artillery teams, bow-footed light teams.

At this time, Li Xiao saw the smoke billowing behind him less than half a mile, and knew that the opponent's riding team was coming to chase.

However, Li Xiao was confident that relying on the cavalry of the opponent was not enough to break through his position, but it might be possible to delay the retreat of his army.

Li Xiao was very determined to ride on the horse to watch the battle. Apart from ordering the army to slow down again, he did not make any other adjustments to the battle at all.

Immediately the opponent's riding team appeared, in the sight of Takeda Army.

The Takeda Army’s iron cannons are all ready, and the fire ropes at hand are all lit, and they can only shoot when the opponent approaches.

However, the riding team general of the opposing team obviously also took into account the power of the Takeda Army’s iron cannons and bows and arrows, and did not directly impact the Takeda Army’s position.

Instead, they bypassed the two wings of the Takeda Army's formation, and the cavalry circulated from the two wings of the Takeda Army's circular formation.

Li Xiao's eyes dazzled, and he saw the other horseback warrior. Except for some of them after falling into the formation, the others circled on the two wings, and some cavalry detoured to the front of the Takeda army formation, slowly advancing along with the Takeda army formation.

Li Xiao saw that in the opponent's horse riding team, everyone was skilled in equestrian skills, and many of them were samurai with their mother's clothes back. Obviously most of them were warriors who were adept at bowing horses since childhood. This was definitely not something that his newly trained horse riding team could fight against.

Moreover, the cavalry generals of the opposing army also understood the way of cavalry. Instead of rushing straight into Li Xiaojun's formation, they used cavalry to circumvent the formation of Li Xiao's infantry in a disguised form.

In the Song Dynasty, someone once described the Mongolian cavalry as saying that a hundred cavalry can encircle the crowd, and a thousand cavalry can be divided into a hundred miles.

Cavalry, also known as clutched soldiers, is not really used to charge forward.

Ando’s military cavalry was distributed on all sides of Li Xiao’s army, giving Li Xiao’s subordinates the illusion of being surrounded on all sides.

In the Cold Weapon era, if the army is in a situation where the flanks are outflanked and the back road is cut off, in this scenario, no matter how good a general is, it will be difficult to control the fighting spirit of the subordinates, and the military will easily become distracted.

Fortunately, Li Xiao’s troops are all regular and standing, and they have gone through a lot of wars, so their performance is still stable. However, if they continue to do so, they will maintain such a dense formation and march under the pressure of the enemy's assault. But it is a big consumption.

Seeing that the dusk was getting thicker, Li Xiao immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and confronted the enemy horse-riding team.

At this time, the opponent's riding team began to tentatively attack Li Xiao's army.

The female uniforms in the opposing horse-riding team first borrowed the direction of the wind, and then galloped from a distance, using the momentum of the horse and the wind speed to increase the range of the arrow. After the arrow was shot at the Takeda army, it went sideways. .

The Takeda army also counterattacked with iron cannons and bows. After all, the range of the iron cannons was better than that, and it did not make the enemy horseback riding teams take advantage of the exchange ratio.

During this period, Li Xiao took the opportunity to let the battle open a gap, causing Tsuchiya Masahiro's horse-riding team to attack the enemy cavalry. The two sides fought for a while and finally repelled the Ando army's cavalry.

After repelling the horse-riding team of Ando Sadato and Inaba, the Takeda army was still successfully delayed by the opponent's time to retreat.

Now Li Xiao could see from the monocular and thousand miles that the main force of the Mino tyrants' coalition led by Mamoru Ando had arrived, and the enemy army had the upper hand over the Takeda army.

Now that the two armies are no more than a certain distance apart, Li Xiao sneered, and then ordered the army to turn its back to a mountain to line up and prepare to defend here.

At the moment in the Mino Allied Forces.

Ando Mamoru had already led the army to catch up with the Takeda Army, and when he saw that the Takeda Army was not retreating at this time, but instead lined up against the mountain, he was suspicious again in his heart.

Mamoru Ando sat down and watched the Takeda Army's army at once, and at the same time pondered whether there were other intentions behind Li Xiao's move.

At this time, Sadaji Ando and Sadatsu Inaba also led the horseback riding team back.

His son Masaji Ando first reported to Shou Ando, ​​saying: "It has long been known that Li Xiao is good at fighting and dominates Jiaxin. I didn't expect it to be like this. There is nothing special. At present, the enemy army has been overtaken by our army and besieged. Here, please order your father to attack, and you can defeat the enemy in one battle."

As a guest army, Sada Inaba is now persuading him, saying: "Master Ando, ​​at the moment, we are on the order of Lord Sosuke to send troops to prevent the Takeda army from taking the prefecture. The goal has now been achieved. However, at present, the Sasuke Suke-sama’s seizure of Mino has become a settlement, and Oda Takeda belongs to the alliance. I think it’s enough to repel the enemy and don’t need to kill them in one battle. Takeda Army is so good at fighting, even if our army wins, the casualties are not small. . I think you can just let them go."

"No." Sister Xiaolu Lai Gang and Li Xiao have a vengeance for killing their father and seizing the family business, so they naturally refused to let Li Xiao go.

Sister-koji Lai Tsuna said: "Master Kamisosuke, after the capture of Mino, the next world will be that Oda or Takeda has the most hope for success in Shangluo. If we can kill the Takeda general Li Xiao here, we will replace the leader. Even though Mr. Kam Sosuke doesn’t say anything about eradicating such rivals, he will actually reward me with a big reward."

Endo Kei Taka also said: "Yes, Mr. Kamisosuke will soon become the master of Mino. If we don't have the exploits, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to occupy a place in Oda's house in the future."

The suggestions of the sisters Raizuna and Endo Keitaka were approved by many samurai from the Ando clan and Inaba clan. Victory in battle, glory of martial arts.

After listening to the opinions of everyone~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Ando Mamoru thought for a while, and said: "Your opinions are very insightful, so if you can succumb to others without fighting, you will be the best. Now it is about At night, night battles are both at risk for each other, so the two armies rest. Tonight I will send someone to negotiate with the Takeda army and let them surrender. If the negotiations between the two sides fail, tomorrow we will..."

Just when Mamoru Ando was about to finish speaking, suddenly a messenger rushed into the discussion place and said loudly: "Master, the big thing is not good."

"Damn," Mamoru Ando exclaimed and said, "What's the panic."

The envoy pointed his hand back and said loudly, "Master, the prefecture Hachiman Castle was captured by the enemy."

As soon as this person's voice fell, it sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.

Then Mamoru Ando looked in the direction of Gunjo Hachiman Castle in disbelief, and saw that several thick smoke lit up on the top of the city, which went straight to the sky, which was particularly distinct in the twilight.
