Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 560: Thoughts of a Distressed City

---------..

(Please keep in mind) (Please keep in mind) North Zhuangcheng.

The main battlefield of the Takeda Army.

Li Xiao was sitting on the Mazza, watching the battle in Beizhizhuang City.

Aside from the side, Li Xiao served a bowl of tea with rice.

The fragrant scent of tea and rice spread to the tip of Li Xiao's nose, and his appetite for a while, he couldn't help but turn his attention away.

Li Xiao picked up his chopsticks and slurped the rice into the bowl.

But Li Xiao hasn't eaten a few bites yet, and several envoys here have arrived in the formation to report military information to Li Xiao.

"Report to the lord, Oda Army Kinki Army Corps, Ikeda Tsunekobu, Hosokawa Fujitakabu has entered Echizen, and encountered the Shima Katsushibu of this legion, and now the two armies are fighting fiercely!"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiao immediately put down the bowl and asked immediately: "How is the battle going?"

The ambassador said: "Master Island, took the lead in occupying the favorable terrain, and based on this formation, took the lead. Therefore, the Hosokawa Fujitaka Department and Ikeda Tsuneko's Department could not have the upper hand for a while."

Li Xiao smiled when he heard the words, he knew that he had an effect on Fujitaka Hosokawa's rebellion.

Relying on his knowledge of history, Li Xiao has a certain grasp of the character of Hosokawa Fujitaka, who is an outstanding wallman.

Therefore, with the help of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the Mibuchi family made a counter-attack against Hosokawa Fujitaka in advance. When Li Xiao decided to go to Raku and settle in Kinki, he had begun to secretly communicate with Hosokawa Fujitaka.

Of course, as an old fox, Hosokawa Fujitaka cannot easily bet on either side before the situation is clear.

Therefore, Hosokawa Fujitaka's secret contact with Li Xiao did not show special enthusiasm, nor did he be alienated and indifferent.

The two sides just kept in touch secretly, tacitly.

Li Xiao knew Hosokawa Fujitaka's plan, so naturally he wanted to wait for the price. Then buy a good price.

But this did not hinder the secret transaction between Li Xiao and Hosokawa Fujitaka this time.

Otherwise, if it were not for Hosokawa Fujitaka's release of water, with the island's 3,000 military strength, even with the help of favorable terrain, it would be impossible to fight Ikeda Hengxing. The onslaught of Hosokawa Fujitaka's seven thousand military forces has been sustained until now.

But even if Hosokawa Fujitaka was releasing the water, Li Xiao did not dare to take it lightly.

At this time, the second envoy said to Li Xiao: "Report to the lord that the Oda family Kinki Legion has lifted the siege of the Hatano family’s main castle Kameyama Castle. Now Achievement Hideman has led the main force of the legion into Wakasa country."

When Li Xiao heard this, his face changed slightly, and his heart secretly said, what a wise Mitsuhide, to be a loyal dog of the Oda family, you don't need to go to this point.

Even Tamba Kameyama Castle, who had been in the game for nearly a year, gave up. This city is a wise city in history.

If Ming Xiuman led the main force of the Kinki Legion to arrive, with Shima Shengmeng's army, Li Xiao would have no hope at all and would be able to block the journey for himself.

But the matter is over here, the third place envoy. Reported to Li Xiao: "Mori Nagata, Inaba Ichitsu's Oda family reinforcements are walking along the streets of Northland, crossing the Omi River, arriving in the territory of Echizen, and swiftly advancing towards the northern Sho Castle. Half of the reinforcements are. All are riding corps."

Li Xiao frowned and asked, "Yokotani Yukishige, what is Yokotani Yukiki doing?"

Shifan returned and said: "The entire ninja legion has been dispatched. In Echiqian, all bridges and roads are destroyed and the advancement of the Oda army is hindered. And the Oda army is still ambushed everywhere in an attempt to hinder the opponent's speed."

Honda Masanori said on the side: "Master, the ninjas are not a regular army after all. Harassment is enough, and confrontation is not their task. Don't force Lord Yokotani."

Li Xiao nodded slowly and said: "Yes, I don't mean to be harsh."

Shifan also replied: "The lord, the Ninja Legion has also tried its best, but the reinforcements of the Oda family, especially the military strength of Mori Changke, are almost desperate, regardless of all casualties, and try their best to move forward."

General Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "I understand. I immediately ordered Tsuchiya Masaji to lead Riyue to prepare for the battle. Be sure to intercept Mori Nakake's army halfway through, and don't let him get one step closer to Kitanosho."

The number of reinforcements approaching is second, but if Shibata Corps in Kitanosho Castle sees the banner of Oda Army reinforcements, they will inevitably cheer up their morale and resist desperately. By then, it will be more difficult for Kitanosho Castle to fall.

Therefore, we must not let the Oda Army close to Kitanosho Castle one by one.

Is it a siege?

Li Xiao couldn't help but smile, but he remembered the battle of Yanshi City back then.

At that time, he led more than a thousand troops, trapped in an isolated city, and resisted Uesugi Kenshin's 17,000 army. Finally, Takeda Shingen led the reinforcements to rush to Uesugi Kenshin's final defeat.

Right now, Li Xiao is unwilling to translocate and repeat the mistakes of Uesugi Kenshin.

However, Li Xiao's current situation is even more dangerous than Uesugi Kenshin's back then.

Whether it is the wise Mitsuhide Kinki Army, or Mori Nagaka, Inaba Kazutsu's reinforcements, if it is Oda Nobuya, the main force of the Oda Army will arrive in person.

At that time, if Li Xiaoruo did not break Beizhizhuang, the whole army was destroyed.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao's face was pale, and he said: "The order goes on and the legions are ordered to join the reserve team. No matter how powerful they are, they will also go out."

"I don't need to worry about the cost of casualties, I only want Zhuangcheng in the north. Today, I must win it."

Suddenly, Shibata Army's Sannomaru's pressure increased greatly.

In Kitanosho Castle, the original Shengzhang design was built in the same way as a flat castle.

Pingcheng is different from mountain castles. For example, in Yanju city back then, there is only one mountain road to go up the mountain.

The design of Pingcheng in Kitazhizhuang Castle is like a concentric circle.

The innermost part of Honmaru, Ninomaru wraps the Honmaru, and this is the third and outer maru.

The outer pill tool is made of all-stone curved wheels, stone wall, and the other pill Shibata Katsuya is unable to build it to an all-stone structure.

After retreating from Waimaru, the Shibata army fought and retreated.

All the armies of the Takeda Army are now in battle, attacking all sides of Sanomaru.

To the east is still Hashiba Hidenaga, Jinbo Nagaken, and Uchijima Shiri led the offensive.

On the north side are Yoshiji Otani’s Kamiokabei, Fujido Takatora, and the reserve army that has just been put in, Noh ascends the momentum.

To the west is Maeda Toshiya and Machang Changbo.

The south direction is Li Zheng. He personally commanded the tiger's equipment, and Li Xiao was directly under the military.

Now the main attack direction of the Takeda Army has shifted from the east side where the city wall was blasted to the north side where the artillery fortifications were concentrated.

A place on the east side of Sanomaru Upper.

Ijiro leaned against the wall of a collapsed house, panting violently.

This half-collapsed house. Obviously it was destroyed by the gunfire of the Takeda Army.

There was a musty smell in the room, which was obviously used to store food.

Now Shibata Army’s bows and arrows and iron cannons were still unstoppable, and Ijiro carefully hid his body.

Ijiro took the bamboo tube beside him. I couldn't help trembling and drank the water, the water still spilled all over.

Ijiro couldn't help smiling bitterly. At this moment, he still couldn't restrain the inner tension, even if he killed a person, it would not work.

Thinking of the samurai whose desperation was in his hands, Ijiro couldn't help but smile. It was this that the water choked to his throat.

Violent coughs sounded one after another, and Jingjiro felt like he almost coughed out his lungs.

"Asshole, do you want to kill yourself?"

A low voice sounded.

Ijiro felt like he was being pulled. Approaching an arrow feather, he slammed it in front of him.

Ijiro raised his head and saw that it was the samurai Nojiri-sama who had saved his life.

The Master Nojiri stared at Ijiro and shouted: "Fool. Remember your life, now it belongs to my uncle Nojiri."

Ijiro nodded vigorously.

"Listen to my orders in a moment, and rush forward!"

Lord Nojiri issued an order.

Ijiro nodded.

Just waiting to talk. Ijiro saw the Takeda army dragging a small-diameter big tube from behind.

Even with the small-caliber big tube, Jingjiro was excited to see this and threw his fist heavily.

After a few large tubes set the large tube lightly, the fire door ignited.

Ijiro subconsciously covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly, hearing only a bang.

Ijiro turned his head and looked around. The arrow scull behind the curved wheel collapsed under the power of this gun. Falling down crookedly.

Several Shibata Army's light bow feet and iron cannon feet on the arrow scull fell from the high platform with a scream.

After the barrel was cleared, it was filled with a second round.

After a while, there was another loud bang.

When Jingjiro looked again, he saw that Shibata Army’s wooden curved wheel had a big hole blasted out by the big tube tens of meters away.

"rush!"

Samurai Nojiri leaped up, and the Takeda troops hiding in various places shouted together and rushed forward.

Not to be outdone, Ijiro dashed upwards from the forty-five-degree slope.

Ijiro listened to the iron gun team behind him, and banged out a round of volleys, which was to cover their ascent to the city.

When Ijiro did not hesitate, he strode up and shot at the soldier Shibata who was behind the hidden turn.

Above the arrow scull of Kitanosho Castle Sannomaru.

The body of the killed soldier Shibata was thickly inserted with several arrow feathers and hung high.

The roar of iron cannons crackled, row after row.

Spattered the powder from the stone wall at the head of the city.

Baixiang Jiajia was standing behind the curved wheel at the head of the city, and looking at the Takeda army gathered from all sides, his expression became more and more solemn.

After the turn, the wounded soldiers of Baixiang's subordinates were placed. They were all crawling here, wailing and painful.

This sound stimulated Baixiang Jiajia's nerves loudly.

"Uncle, uncle!"

Baixiang Jiajia turned his head and saw a samurai with a broken right arm ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ limping forward.

This person has blood-stained feet, and several half-broken arrow feathers are folded on his back.

"Saburo, what's the matter with you?"

Baixiang Jiajia couldn't help but said in shock that this man was his only nephew and was entrusted to him by his deceased brother.

The samurai said: "Uncle, at this moment of the war, more than half of the soldiers have been casualties. We have done our best for Shibata-sama. Now is the time to consider our own way out."

"Uncle, Maeda Toshika is a man who keeps his promises. Why don't you listen to his advice and subdue Takeda."
