Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 5: Face off Chuanzhong Island

The next day, Li Xiao directly commanded an Akimoto squad of more than 20 people. Because he was a novice, Nobumoto Takeda sent two Kibmoto samurai to guide his work and help him manage the more than 20 peasants. .

  The soldiers of Jiafei were born in the mountains, and they have always been known for their hardships and hard work. In addition, during the Warring States period, the Japanese folk martial arts were extremely strong. Before the sword hunting order was issued, even the villages had swords, guns and weapons for self-defense, so even the fight between the villagers was not as simple as the three punches of the farmer.

Li Xiao reviewed his own soldiers. At this time, the Japanese peasants were short in size and lacked nutrition and appeared weak. On the whole, they had good tolerance and discipline. According to later generations, this was consistent with training. The conditions for supporting the elite troops with strict discipline.

Due to the inconvenience of language communication, Li Xiao did not plan how to train this unit, because the peasants and peasants would go back to farm after the battle, but he also knew that there must be a brave husband under the reward, so he took it out of his salary. Twice, each with one hundred wen to let them do their best, and declare that if they beheaded on the battlefield, they will be rewarded with another one hundred wen, and if they ask for a warrior from the other side, they can be promoted to a samurai.

   Seeing so many rewards and the temptation of their future, these peasants were immediately grateful and felt that this samurai from the Ming Dynasty was indeed a figure worth following.

   Three days ago, Shingen Takeda had dispatched troops from the main castle Takusakikan and merged with the troops of the vassals of the generations, and then Koshu (Kai) stepped into the territory of Shinshu (Shinano). After that, the powerful clans and guards of Shinano each attached to the Takeda clan, and they also led their troops to join together, making their troops stronger.

   "My Takeda family's army is really mighty." Takeda Shinfeng next to Li Xiao couldn't help sighing as he watched the army marching.

   Li Xiao looked at Takeda Nobuyoshi's green face. As Nobuhiro's eldest son, Nobuyuki Takeda is only twenty this year, but he has already won his favor and has participated in several battles in the Takeda family.

   Li Xiao listened to the opponent's sigh, nodded slightly, and looked at the army advancing side by side. The foot light squads, cavalry squadrons, and iron artillery squadrons of the Takeda family were immersed in their heads forward. The sound of armor and horse hooves were almost like a surging river.

   And the envoy (herald soldier) with the flag of the "Hundred-legged Centipede" is driving the Jianma under his seat back and forth to and from the army, conveying orders.

   Not far behind is Takeda Shingen's flag head team. As the head of the Honjin General's logo, Takeda Shingen's flag "Grandson Four as Mantra Flag" stands above it.

   The banner reads ‘It’s as fast as the wind, it’s like a forest, it’s like a fire, and it’s like a mountain.’ These sixteen characters are taken from Sun Tzu's Art of War by Takeda Shingen.

Later generations often used the four words "Fenglin Volcano" as the essence of Kailiu's military science. Before Li Xiao played Taige for five hours, Fenglin Volcano's card was also at the level of anti-sky in the combat skill. After using it, he gained attack power. , The effect of defensive power and mobility increase.

   Li Xiao's horsemanship is already good at this time, and Takeda Nobuhiro and their two sons talk to them in the crappy Japanese that they have just learned. Although Li Xiao's learning ability amazed several people, some grammatical mistakes still made Takeda Nobuhira and others laugh from time to time.

Takeda Shintoyo said with excitement to Xin: "My father, this time the army has 18,000 troops. It is when the Takeda family had such a majestic force in the past. (Echigo Army)’s decisive battle, my blood will boil."

   "It is not 18,000, but a whole army of 20,000. There are still two thousand people of Shinchang Gong in Haijin." Takeda Katsurai immediately refuted his cousin Shintoyo's statement. At the moment, Takeda Katsuyori has quite a young man's eagerness to be competitive, and he wants to express himself in front of others.

   Takeda Nobuyoshi was speechless when he heard Takeda Katsuyoshi talk, not because he didn't want to refute, but because he took into account the identity of Lord Katsuyai's son.

Xinfan smiled and watched the argument between his nephew and his son, and then said: “The Vietnamese army is also coming out of the country. Shanlan Temple still has three thousand men and horses. The military strength is evenly equal to ours."

   Mentioned the vigorous fighting of the Vietnamese army, as well as the undefeated generals Uesugi Kenshin, Takeda Nobuhiro and others, their faces became slightly heavier. The fourth Kawanakajima in the middle of the Japanese Warring States Period was definitely a large-scale joint battle. The combined strength of the two sides was about 40,000. At that time, all the men of the right age who could serve in the military did not exceed 500,000 in total in Japan.

  Echigo, the forces of Kai and Kai are all mobilized. If they can defeat their opponents in a decisive battle, they can safely go to Luo without worrying about the rear.

But as a traverser, Li Xiao certainly knows the outcome of this battle. Regarding the two heroes Takeda Shingen and Shangshan Kenshin, who wins and who loses, there are two other fans on the forum that have different opinions, which are controversial. In the long-term overall situation, there is no final winner in the confrontation between the two companies.

   Chuan Nakajima fought together, and the Takeda Topsung family was greatly injured, temporarily unable to go to Los Angeles, and missed the best opportunity to reunify the world. On the other hand, Oda Nobunaga relied on his power to defeat Imagawa Yoshimoto last year, and for the next 21 years, he swept the entire world like a raging wind.

   Although both the Takeda and Uesugi clan caused some trouble to the Oda clan in the future, at that time Oda Nobunaga's climate was already established and its advantages were hard to shake.

   And Li Xiao, who is familiar with all of this, secretly calculated in his heart, I wonder if he can bring a different Chuanaka Island to the Takeda family with his own personal efforts.

   After several days of trekking, the Takeda army has gradually approached the combat destination of Kawasaka Island along the straight road built by Shinano in the past.

   To the south of Kawa Nakajima is the Chikuma River, which originated from Kai, and it merges with the Sai River, which originated from Minami Komagatake, at Kawa Nakajima. Kawa Nakajima is a delta between the two rivers.

   Chikuma River, as its name suggests, the river flows slowly, the river is curly, and the south is the land of Shingen in Shingen. The current of Saikawa is extremely fast, and Kenshin's Echigo is to the north. U U Reading www.uukanshu.com

   In the third year of Yongroku, Takeda Shingen adopted Yamamoto Kansuke’s suggestion to build Kaijin Castle on the east side of the Chikuma River in only 80 days. The Takeda family's famous general Masanobu Takahashi led two thousand soldiers and horses to garrison.

   And Kaijin Castle is only one day away from Uesugi Kenshin’s residence, Kasugayama Castle, and Uesugi Kenshin naturally cannot tolerate this.

  The fourth year of Yonglu, that is, the year of 1561 AD, for the military god, it is not a word that can be described as busy.

   First, it calmed down internally, and Xinxuan secretly spoiled him and provoked a constant chaos. After that, Kenshin Uesugi, in the name of the governor of the Kanto region, assembled an army of 100,000 Kanto princes to conquer the Hojo clan of the Takeda League.

In the face of such an unprecedentedly powerful military, the Hojo family raised their banner of defensive defensive defensively, and turned to the Takeda family for help. Under the strong barriers of Odawara Castle, which is known as the “Japan's No. Long.

   Although Odawara Castle was not conquered, Hojo's vitality was severely injured. Uesugi Kenshin's class was on the way to the Kamakura Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine and formally inherited the position of Kanto ruler.

Kenshin Uesugi returned to Echigo in June. On August 14th, he led 16,000 Echigo troops out of Kasuga Mountain Castle. On the 16th, Echigo Army bypassed Haijin Castle and set up the main battle at Wife and Daughter Mountain in the southern part of Chuanzhong Island. .

   And on August 24, the Takeda army arrived at Chuanzhong Island with 18,000, and set up the main line at Chausu Mountain. It’s only eight miles away from Uesugi’s Honjin Wife and Daughter Mountain. The position of the Takeda Army not only blocked the road, the Echigo Army retreated to Echigo, and cut off the supply route from Zenkoji to the Wife Mountain.

   But Kenshin Uesugi seemed to ignore the crisis and stood still in the main formation. According to Takeda’s meticulous work and reports from spies, the sound of Noh playing and drumming can be heard every day from Wife Mountain.

   So the two armies temporarily started a confrontation around Chuanzhong Island.
