Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 330 The Legendary Reinforcement

The relatives at the border of Vietnam, China and Vietnam do not know their children.

Under the banner of the flying dragon, Ken Uesugi's letter head was wrapped in a bowl, dressed in a monk robe, and his face was stern.

Uesugi Kenshin looked at the Toyama Bay beside him, the setting sun was sinking into the ocean, and the waves after the high tide were sweeping everything, slapped against the shore reefs fiercely.

The sound of the rising tide is earth-shaking

Next to Kenshin Uesugi, walking forward silently is the Echigo army who can't see their heads at a glance.

On May 20th, Kenshin Uesugi led the main force of the Echihou army to cross the sky and did not know the children.

Under the sunset obliquely.

The jet-black Echihou Army covered the entire field, and each Zuqing's face was covered in the red of the setting sun.

At this moment, iron cannons, spears, and naginata all kinds of weapons towered up like a forest, and the dust from the team's footsteps covered the sky.

The ‘pi’ flag refers to things, connected together, as if crowded, the Echihou army gathered from valleys, rivers, and avenues into black iron currents and marched together.

Uesugi Kenshin's army officially entered Yuezhong.

After turning over the relatives and not knowing the children, Uesugi Kenshin will close the Ueda congregation in the shirt, and the total strength of the Echigo Army reaches 20,000.

This is the largest mobilization of Uesugi's forces since Chuanzhongdao.

This is also the battle of the Uesugi family, showing Uesugi Kenshin's ambition to unify Vietnam and China.

After rushing to Viet, the Echigo army immediately divided the troops. Uesugi's generals Chisaka Keiki, Kazusa Keikai, Kawada Nagata, and Naoe Keizuna attacked from all sides and surrounded Shiina's Matsakura Castle.

The news of Echigo's departure was noticed very early by Shiina Kangyin, who had been keeping a close eye on Echigo's movements, and facing the Uesugi family that was able to sweep the entire Echigo, Shiina's family was almost shocked overnight.

Shiina Yasunami knew that the first target of the Uesugi family's 20,000 troops must be Matsukura Castle.

Regarding Uesugi Kenshin's prestige and the ability of the Echigo Army to fight, even if Shiina Kangyin mobilized 20,000 troops to defend the city, he was not sure that he would be able to defend Matsukura Castle.

If he had a choice, he would definitely surrender the Uesugi family without hesitation.

But he had betrayed the Uesugi family a long time ago, and it was impossible to turn his head back. Right now, he could only fight hard.

Shiina Kangyin first made the biggest mobilization in the collar, and finally put together 4,500 troops.

After that, Shiina Kangyin contracted his forces to defend Matsakura Castle and its branch nets, while the rest of the city was discarded.

Shiina Kangyin knew that before the Uesugi family’s absolute superior force, there would only be a dead end if only to hold on to the cage city, so he began to promise a lot of conditions to Honganji, Noto’s long-term company, and Takeda’s Li Xiao. Letter for help.

Shiina Kangyin also didn't know that his letter could play a role, but at this moment, he could only use a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Toyama Castle.

When Li Xiao received a letter from Shiina Kang Yin for help, he couldn't help but feel amused.

Shiina's attitude in the letter was quite respectful. In the letter, he also analyzed the situation of both lips and teeth, saying that if Shiina finishes playing, the next one will definitely be your turn, Li Xiao.

Helping me Shiina Kangyin is also helping Li Xiao yourself. Saving me means saving yourself. You can do it yourself.

In fact, it is not necessary for Shiina Kangyin to repeatedly emphasize that Li Xiao also knows the current situation is in crisis, so he immediately answered the Shiina family’s envoy very positively, saying that he would personally lead 15,000 reinforcements from Toyama Castle to rescue Matsakura Castle, or Shiina, please put one hundred and twenty hearts.

I got an affirmative answer from Li Xiao.

Moreover, the messenger of Shiina Kangyin heard that Li Xiao was able to dispatch 15,000 military forces to support him. Suddenly he was very confident. He was grateful and thankful in front of Li Xiao, and then ran back to Matsura without stopping. Shiro reported the powerful news to Shiina Yasunami.

After sending away the messenger of Shiina's family, Li Xiao also felt that what he had just said was exaggerated. With the mobilization power of Li Xiao's current territory, he could indeed mobilize more than 10,000 troops.

However, if the military power stationed in Mino and important cities along the border is deducted, Li Xiao can mobilize eight thousand military power to support Shiina family, which is already a lot of face for Shiina Kangyin.

What's more, Li Xiao's current three major reserve teams have suffered a lot from the middle of the Raiders for the past half year. They are in the middle of rest, so there is no way to go into battle for a while.

As for the fifteen thousand words, it is purely a word to give confidence to the other party.

Just when Li Xiao was about to discuss with the generals to discuss the plan for marching.

Yokotani Yukkiyo had already brought the news of the war ahead. As soon as he entered Yuezhong, the Uesugi family launched an attack on the Shiina family with an aggressive offensive.

The two generals of the Uesugi family, Chisaka Keike, and Kawada, led a six-thousand army, and first encircled Uozu Castle, the branch city of Matsakura Castle.

Uozu Castle is a famous city in Yuezhong. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Shiina's family was in charge of Shiina Sunhachi Road, and it was built when the government was in Yuezhong.

In the original history, this city was even more famous. After Uesugi Kenshin's death, Shibata's Northern Army Corps attacked Uesugi's house and attacked the city all the way down.

In the end, Uozu Castle fell, and the castle will be killed by 13 people headed by Nakajo Keitai, Takemata Keizuna, and Yamamoto Temple.

The day the city was captured was the day after the change of the Inneng Temple.

Shibata Katsumi heard of the death of the letter, and led his army to quickly retreat from Hokuriku.

Otherwise, after Uozu Castle is lost, Shibata Katsuya can prepare to attack Echigo from both sides with the Kantō Army of Takigawa Kazuka, who has just conquered Takeda from the south.

But now, this city is already in danger under the surging Uesugi army.

The Uesugi army only attacked the city for three days, and the defending army was no longer supported.

In the end, the city soldiers rioted and killed the main general, and the U.S. Army abandoned their weapons and surrendered.

Once Uozu Castle was lost, the portal of Songcang Castle opened, and the Tenjin Mountain Castle on the east side became precarious.

After hearing this, Li Xiao couldn't help but marvel at the rapid offensive of the Uesugi army. He thought that Shiina's Zhicheng network could support a little longer, but he didn't expect to be breached so quickly.

Li Xiao was even more worried that Shiina Kangyin would not be able to support it, but in case he abandoned the Matsakura Castle defense line as in history, and took the whole family in exile.

In the end, it was Li Xiao.

Therefore, Shiina Kangyin must continue to support it, even if it is only a few months, at least it will be delayed until Li Xiao's strategy can be realized.

After discussing with the generals, Li Xiao immediately decided to send troops to support Songcang Castle.

So the matter fell on the person who had just succeeded Jinbo Nagaken, the head of the Jinbo family.

May 25th.

Then Li Xiao issued the military order of Matsakura Castle, and Jinbao Changxian mobilized his army to march out of Toyama Castle and immediately dispatched troops.

Jinbao Changkenhui Qi Jinbao long stayed, Terashima's position, Miyoshi Moriji and other Jinbao family generals, with a force of 2,500 troops from Toyama Castle, took the lead in crossing the Jintong River to support Matsakura Castle.

Li Xiao was worried that one person, Jinbao Changxian, would not have enough experience to deal with the Echigo army, so he sent Honda Zhengxin to join the army to serve as a military post.

However, Li Xiao stayed in Toyama City, and after the training of the three major reserve teams was completed, he rushed to Songcang City.

At this time, Uesugi Kenshin's main force had already flowed from the direction of Uozu Castle, which had been breached, to the bottom of Matsakura Castle like a tide.

The other branches of Songcang City, such as Tianshen Mountain City, Mizuo City, and Kitayama City are all under attack from all sides by the Uesugi family.

Shiina Kang Yinben heard the news of the fall of Uozu Castle on the third day, and was very desperate. He had faintly moved his plan to abandon the city and flee to the hinterland of Yuezhong.

At this time, the envoy returning from Takeda's family reported to Shiina Yasuna that Li Xiao would send 15,000 troops from Toyama Castle to support Matsukura Castle.

Hearing this news, Shiina Yasuyin, like a dying man, grabbed the last straw, with a frenetic expectation ignited on his face.

The 15,000 army is again led by Li Xiao, a famous general who can fight Uesugi Kenshin, and it may be hoped that he will be able to support it this time.

Shiina Kangyin thought of this.

Facing the pressure of Echigo's army, Shiina Kangyin couldn't let go of the Shiina family's inheritance and the name of Echigo guardian generation.

Shiina Kangyin made up his mind to guard Matsukura Castle.

Shiina Kangyin also knew that the Shiina family was alive and dead in this battle, so he assembled three thousand army cages and planned to defend it firmly.

In order to remove the barriers of the enemy's siege, Shiina Yasuna set fire to the castle town, in order to show the castle soldiers his determination to defend.

However, in secret, Shiina Kangyin still moved the thief out of the city.

Facing Uesugi Kenshin's siege army below his eyes, Shiina Kangyin began to look west every day, expecting Li Xiao's so-called 15,000 reinforcements.

May 28th.

Jimbo Nagaken led the army to a place less than twenty miles west of Matsakura Castle.

But Nagaken Jinbo had to stand still because he encountered the Uesugi army who was volleying here.

On the other side of the guard, it was the two thousand army of Echigo's famous general Naoe Keizuna. This army firmly held the Takeda army's path and prevented the Jinbo army from crossing this area and reinforced Matsakura Castle.

But Nagaken Jinbo heard that the opponent was Echigo's famous general Naoe Keizuna, and he didn't dare to neglect, and instead of making a rash attack, he ordered the Jinbo army to set up a camp on the hillside.

Immediately after Shinbo Nagaken and Masanobu Honda~www.wuxiamtl.com~Terashima, generals and other generals went up to the mountain to watch the formation.

"I heard Usami-sama said that Naoe Yamato was guarding among the generals of Echigo. He was known for his prudence and prudence. Although he was not good at fighting, such a talent was the most terrifying. He himself is the most trusted general of Uesugi Terutora. , And the lord also has a high opinion of this person, and he has repeatedly told us before, if we encounter this person, we should not underestimate the enemy."

Shinbo Nagaken remarked to Terashima's position and others.

In fact, there is no need to say more about Jinbo Nagaken, the other generals of the Jinbo clan are also very knowledgeable about the Echigo Army's intelligence, so they also know very well about the abilities of Naoe Keizuna.

At this time, the chief priest said: "But our task is to support Matsakura Castle. We must not shrink back because the opponent is a famous general. In this way, the lord will inevitably blame us. What's more, our military strength is better than the latter. If we don’t Attacking will make the Echigo army think that our Jinbao family is fighting timidly."

At this time, Honda Masanobu also said: "I agree with the opinion of the Shou-sama of Yuezhong. At the moment, the Uesugi Huihu army is encircling Songcang Castle. If our army does not attack the current enemy and contain the Uesugi army, our army will rescue him. The meaning is gone, so I advocate attacking the Echigo Army." ..
