Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 336 Confrontation

Seeing the military appearance of the Takeda Army's heyday.

Kenshin Uesugi turned around and said to the envoy: "Order Naoe and Hotan teams, do not love to fight, and retreat immediately."

"Master"

Uesugi Nobuyuki hurriedly said: "Don't you want a decisive battle with the Takeda army?".

"Decisive battle? Are you confident of defeating Li Xiao and his army?". Kenshin Uesugi pointed his horse whip towards the Takeda army down the mountain, and asked Uesugi Nobuyuki.

Uesugi Nobuyuki is also at a loss for a moment when he sees the three major standings of the Takeda Army, a lineup like mountains and forests.

Uesugi Nobuyuki hesitated and said: "After the independent public inherited the Uesugi family's superintendent, he has been invincible in the field since he went to war. If he avoids the battle in front of the Takeda army today, I am afraid it will be discussed and affected. The great name of the lord."

Ken Uesugi heard the words, laughed, and said: "What outsiders talk about, I never take it to heart. But the battle must be based on the situation. Today, our military rashly fights against Li Xiao. In my opinion, the odds of winning will never exceed half. ."

"Less than half"

After listening to Uesugi Kenshin's words, everyone was incredible.

With the strength of the two armies equal, Kenshin Uesugi actually said that the odds of winning were not more than half.

When did the Takeda army become so strong?

"Yes, it's less than half. There is no exaggeration." Uesugi Kenshin looked at the sun and moon double-patterned flag of Li Xiao's main formation and said solemnly.

In the Takeda Army Honjin.

Li Xiao hesitated for the request of his subordinates to go to war.

But after thinking about it again and again, Li Xiao still said: "Order the horse-riding team, and the snake's tail will go forward alternately to cover, and the Shenbao army should be retired."

"Lord, don't you chase the Uesugi army and fight decisively with it?". Takatora Fujido asked hurriedly.

Li Xiao shook his head and said: "It makes no sense. The two sides are equally powerful. I am not sure that Uesugi Teruto will win. On the contrary, Uesugi Teruto dare not do anything with me. If it is a decisive battle, it is likely to fall into a chaotic battle. Both lose out."

Li Xiao closed his eyes, his consideration was also planning to preserve the power.

In fact, upon receiving the news of Uesugi Kenshin's sudden appearance, Li Xiao immediately canceled the standing rest.

Li Xiao immediately led the three major reserve teams of Kamioka, Snaketail, and Qimoto, as well as Hida, and Sheshui County's elite army with a total of five thousand troops, and hurried to the battlefield.

Li Xiao's standing still hasn't been finished yet, and at the same time, the fighting strength of the Yuezhong Feidahao clan is uneven, and it is not on the same level as the Uesugi army. Now it is too hasty to fight.

Moreover, the Yuezhong tycoons have not really returned to Li Xiao. If Li Xiaoyi's basic standing is compromised, it may not be able to suppress it. The following part of the Yuezhong tycoons who are deliberately unpredictable.

But being able to defeat Uesugi Kenshin in a field battle is also a very tempting thing for Li Xiao.

However, in addition to the benefits of reputation, victory cannot shake the fundamentals of the Uesugi army. At the moment, the Uesugi army is just a part of the Uesugi family’s 20,000 army, while the Takeda army is all the main force of Li Xiao, in case Li Xiao loses. , Then it goes without saying that the Vietnam-China war is completely hopeless.

The Shiina family must surrender, and Li Xiaoyue can only discard the place in the middle, and even Hida may not be guaranteed.

For Li Xiao, the cost of losing this gambling was unimaginable and absolutely unaffordable. Li Xiao could not gamble on all the results of his eight years of fighting in Hida Yuezhong.

So after weighing the pros and cons, Li Xiao still did not make this risky decision, and instead ordered the Shenbao Army to withdraw from the battlefield.

Almost at the same time, the Uesugi Army and the Takeda Army sounded the horn of the retreat Fasaki in a tacit understanding.

The two sides stopped fighting. This result made the soldiers of the two armies who thought there would be a **** battle, breathed a sigh of relief.

Not everyone is willing to give up their lives, avoiding fights with powerful enemies and saving their lives is definitely the first choice. And Li Xiao Uesugi Kenshin and the two really broke out here, it must be a **** battle that is not inferior to Chuanzhongdao.

Even if the winning side is present, how much of it will survive.

In the absence of a certain victory, to avoid a decisive battle with each other, the generals of the two armies made this choice unanimously.

After the sound of the horn, the two armies of Uesugi and Takeda did not fight again, and each returned to their own camp.

Immediately, at a distance of less than a day and a half, the two sides built positions, tents, horse-proof fences, and dug trenches, assuming a posture of staying here and making their homes.

For a while, the two armies had neither the assurance of defeating the other nor the idea of ​​retreating, so they opened their positions and faced each other.

No one knows how long this confrontation will take, but the two armies are so stalemate.

Just when Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin each led their troops to confront Yuezhong.

Great turbulence occurred in the world and Kanto.

In the twelve years of Yongluo, the Oda family succeeded in Shangluo last year and usurped greater power this year.

First, at the beginning of the year, Nobunaga defeated the Miyoshi trio and prevented his intention to restore in Kyoto.

After that, Sakai Town gave up its autonomy, the number one commercial city in the world.

Under Nobunaga's oppression, the congregation who had always controlled Sakai Town formally surrendered to the Oda family.

Nobunaga then ordered Yubi Matsui Yukan to act as Sakai Town and take charge of Sakai Town.

Sakai Town is equivalent to the world's largest iron cannon production area and economic center, and Oda Nobunaga takes control of it.

After mastering Sakai Town, Nobunaga extended his hand into Kyoto.

After the Miyoshi trio retreated, Nobunaga took over the military and political power of Kyoto from Ashikaga Yoshiaki in the name of strengthening Kyoto's guard.

Nobunaga's move is tantamount to controlling the Emperor of Japan, the capital under the rule of the general, in his own hands.

In addition, Oda Nobunaga also issued a restraining order to Ashikaga Yoshiaki "Tenaka Misaki".

There are nine articles in "Tenchu ​​Yuji", and another seven articles were added two days later. The contents all restrict Ashikaga Yoshiaki's general authority, which is equivalent to depriving his shogun of all powers in form.

And Ashikaga Yoshiaki, who had no military power in his hand, had to accept Nobunaga's orders insultingly.

Only three months after Nobunaga's success in Shangluo, Yoshiaki officially changed from the status of a shogun to a symbol. The actual effect was a rubber stamp in the hands of Oda Nobunaga.

After bringing Kinki under his control, Nobunaga set his sights on Ise again.

In February of the twelfth year of Yonglu, forty-eight wealthy families in Northern Ise surrendered, and Nobunaga assembled an army of 40,000 and sent troops to Gaogang City.

The Kobe family fell, and Nobunaga's third son Sanchimaru inherited the Kobe family's reputation.

And just when Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin confronted Yuezhong.

Nobunaga gathered in the army of 80,000, and began a fierce attack on the Kitada family of Ise in the south, and began his great cause of unification of Ise.

And in Kanto.

For the second time, Shingen Takeda made his way out of Suruga and directly attacked Izu Kingdom, the territory of the Hojo family, and threatened Odawara Castle in a vague manner.

Hojo Clan couldn't tolerate it, and the Takeda army's aggressive attack in the collar led his army out of Odawara to meet Takeda Shingen.

The Hojo clan of Takeda Nobunken personally led the army, and he also opened up his position and made a decisive battle with the Hojo clan.

However, the battle between the Sagami Lion and Kai no Tiger, which everyone was looking forward to, did not take place in the end.

June.

The Takeda Army was located at the Honjin in Izu and was suddenly hit by a typhoon.

The home of the Takeda Army became Zekuni overnight, and most of the horses and weapons were washed away by the flood.

Regarding the typhoon like Godsuke, Hojo Shiyasu was excited after receiving the news, and immediately led his army to attack the Takeda army that was crushed by the typhoon.

In response to the natural disaster, Shingen Takeda could only sigh for the unsuccessful martial arts, and then ordered to retreat from Izu country and return to Kai.

August of the twelfth year of Yonglu.

In the second month that Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin confronted Etsuzhong, Takeda Shingen made his third appearance from Kai.

This time Takeda Shingen did not take the route of the previous two trips to Suruga.

For the first time, Shingen went back and forth with Jiajun, directly attacking Suruga country.

For the second time, Shingen was to take the mountain road of Mount Fuji, along the border of Suruga, bypassing the defense of the Hojo Army Suruga, and invaded the country of Izu.

In the third time, Shingen led an army of 20,000 Kashin and invaded the country of Musashi in the east from Kai.

As Takeda Shingen said, from Kai, the five countries controlled by Musashi, Sagami, Izu, Suruga, and Toe Hojo were all within Shingen's attack range.

If Shingen takes a defensive position, it is easy to form a situation where the five countries double the Takeda family.

On the contrary, if it is an offense, the defense of the Hojo Clan's five countries will not be able to focus, and it will be easier to be defeated by Shingen.

And Takeda Shingen spent more than 80 battles in his life, except for the forced defense in the three battles, he was the one to attack others.

After the 20,000 troops of Takeda Shingen entered Musashi, they avoided the strong castle and did not attack, and looted wildly along the way, and obliged the people in the Hojo family territory to carry out free demolition assistance.

The Hojo family was afraid of Shingen's soldiers, and no one dared to go out of the city to fight in Shingen.

The Takeda family easily swept the country of Musashi and passed by.

In September, in the twelfth year of Yongluo, 20,000 troops from the Takeda family directly attacked Sagami from Musashi, and approached the Hojo family’s Odawara Castle.

The news of Takeda Shingen's departure from Kanto was heard, and the Kanto daimyo, who was in alliance with the Takeda family, saw the family, and the Satake family sent troops to attack the Hojo family, echoing Takeda Shingen's presence.

This scene reproduces the atmosphere of Uesugi Kenshin's 100,000 Kanto coalition forces in Odawara.

Faced with Takeda Shingen's attack on Sagami, Hojo's Kang felt quite helpless this time.

Despite advance preparations, the Takeda army's swift and fierce offensive caught Hojo's Kang by surprise.

The last time the Takeda family swept through Izu country, the Hojo family had to garrison troops from Odawara to Izu country to strengthen the local defense, making Odawara castle even more empty.

But this time Takeda Shingen did not leave the country of Izu, but attacked Sagami from Musashi, immediately making Hojo clan Yasushi lose the other.

In the face of the Takeda family's army, Hojo clan Yasunku had tens of thousands of troops outside, but he was easily attacked by Takeda Shingen.

Hojo Clan can only lament that Shingen's strategic use is truly unmatched in the world.

The only thing Hojo Shiyao can do right now is to hold on to Odawara's strong castle, hoping to repel the Takeda army with the castle defense, and wait until Suruga Toe Musashi's army returns to Sagami.

September in the twelfth year of Yonglu.

The confrontation between Li Xiao and Uesugi Kenshin in Yuezhong entered the third month.

In the past three months, apart from the ninjas of the two families, Xuanyuan of Kato Duanzang and Yukoshi Yokotani's wives kept fighting.

Generally speaking, the two armies are in peace, except for small-scale conflicts, there are no major battles.

Time is in the process of being consumed by the two armies, and it disappears day by day.

However, this is exactly what Uesugi Kenshin wanted. Uesugi Kenshin himself is here to deal with Li Xiao's army ~www.wuxiamtl.com~, but instead handed over the task of attacking Shiina family to Yamaura Kokushin and Kanazawa Keichi. Responsible.

These two men continued to violently attack Shishi masters with the 13,000 army of the Echigo Army, and attacked the Matsakura Castle branch one by one.

In September, the Shiina family’s last branch city, Mizuo Castle, was captured by the Uesugi Army, and the Shiina family’s Matsura Castle branch network was completely occupied.

The Shiina family is left with an isolated city in Matsakura Castle.

Under this, the Uesugi army divided its forces, and Yamaura Kokushin continued to lead seven thousand troops to besiege Matsukura Castle, and one of Uesugi’s four heavenly kings, Amazuke Keichi, led the remaining six thousand troops and rushed to the front to join Uesugi Kenshin.

After Uesugi Kenshin joined forces with Kanazawa Keiji, the force reached 13,000, overwhelming Li Xiao's Takeda army.

After receiving the support of reinforcements, Uesugi Kenshin immediately gave up his waiting defensive position and began to attack Li Xiao's Takeda army position.
