Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 66: Attack on Honjin

The main commander of the Echigo Army, Kakizaki Keijia, indeed adopted the central breakthrough tactics as Li Xiao expected. Although this strategy is a bit risky, in Li Xiao's estimation, with the thickness of the dense defense of the central gun array, the Takeda army can support it for a while.

   After all, the superiority of the Echigo Army in terms of numbers, this is indeed incomparable to the Takeda Army.

   Just as the front gun formations of the Echigo Army and the Takeda Army were fighting, the iron artillery team behind the Echigo Army also entered the firing position. They aimed at the rear of Takeda's guns on the hill.

   With the appalling volley of nearly a hundred iron cannons, the guns in the rear of the Takeda Army were light enough to be shot. But helplessness is the narrow terrain front and back, which makes them unavoidable.

   Boom!

   The Echigo Army's iron artillery team launched a second round of salvos, and the Takeda army once again was hit by more than 20 guns.

The Takeda Army’s iron artillery team on the mountain was also unwilling to show weakness, and they fired at the Echigo iron artillery team, but they had already hit their barrels hot. After firing one or two shots, the iron cannon happened immediately. The phenomenon of blasting.

   And the bow-footed lighters have also tried their best at this moment, and after shooting a few more arrows, until they can no longer pull the bowstring.

   The Echigo Army took the opportunity to make a comeback, and continued to compress the defense line of the Takeda Army's gun array.

   At the moment, the small hillside is full of flesh and blood. A Takeda army's spear has just pierced the gun into the Echigo Army's ribs, and then another Echigo Army spear pierced the body with a long spear. And the Takeda family samurai also shouted, rushing down the mountain to fight with the Echigo Army samurai.

   Part of the samurai who still retains the habits of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, before looking for their opponents to fight, they will give each other their names and family names, and then carry out the ‘one-kid’ discussion about the honor and life and death of the samurai.

   But at this time, their respective positions have already staggered, and the samurai and Ashikaru of the Takeda family and Uesugi family have been killed together, and it is inextricably separated.

As the Takeda Army’s defense line was repelled step by step, the advancing Echihou Army was blushing, kicking the body of the Takeda Army that was blocking their advancement to one side, and being stabbed to the stomach with long spears. The corpse was tossed all the way down from the hillside.

As the battle progressed, the Takeda Army was close to the brink of defeat several times, but under the support of the veteran Masatoshi Toko, the front was still firmly maintained. At this time, one or two Echigo Army smashed through the weak flank of the Takeda Army. , Bypassing the front of Takeda Army, directly into the main formation of Takeda Katsuyoshi.

   At the moment, Masatoshi Poko, Masatsu Poko, Masatsu Poko, the three fathers and sons, and the brothers Suwa Laizhong and Suwa Laifeng, all lead the samurai in their respective homes to fight on the front line to resist the offensive of the Echigo Army's guns.

   Among the main formations, only Masayuki Sanada, Kansuke Yamamoto, and more than a dozen celebrities who hold the flag seals are left, and there are several nearby people around Takeda Katsuyoshi.

   At this time, a group of more than 30 Uesugi samurai and Ashikaru who broke through the flank of Takeda entered the main formation of Takeda Katsuyoshi. And Katsuyori Takeda, who wears a helmet with antlers, a bright armor, and Jin Yuori, suddenly becomes the opponent's target.

  Uesugi's soldiers came to kill Takeda Katsuyoshi one after another, and they fought with the guards beside him, and fought with the crowd.

   Yamamoto Kansuke, Sanada Masayuki also drew his sword out of the scabbard at the moment, and even Takeda Katsuyori took up his spear and prepared to fight.

   Yamamoto Kansuke was one-eyed and lame, but he learned the swordsmanship from Kashima Shintou, but he was very sharp, and saw him swinging a knife down and cutting the other three in a row. The Uesugi soldiers dared not get close to his side. As the commander-in-chief Takeda Katsuyori, although he was guarded by the servants and had no chance of taking action, he also killed a Uesugi soldier who wanted to attack him.

   Under the desperate defense of everyone, this group of Echihou Army eager to make meritorious service was killed after more than a dozen people, and fled all around in embarrassment, and was driven out of the formation.

   Masao Sanada was slightly injured when he was fighting with a soldier of the Echigo Army. He was bandaging the wound and said: "Damn it, if my martial arts were better, I wouldn't be injured by the Uesugi army."

   In fact, they repelled this group of enemy troops, and the Takeda Army’s Honjin troops also suffered four casualties.

   The shouting of killing was deafening, and the distance from the main formation was getting closer. It was obvious that the battle situation for the Takeda family had gradually deteriorated.

   "If this continues, our army will not be able to support it." After wrapping up the wound, Sanada stood up and re-holded Taito.

   Takeda Katsuyuki heard that Masayuki Sanada said, and he raised the big gun and said loudly: "If you can't hold it, you must hold it. I must fight Uesugi Kenshin to the last minute."

   As soon as Takeda Katsuyoshi finished speaking, another group of Echigo Army attacked Takeda Army's main formation again.

   "Damn it, why did the front army let people out again."

   Takeda Katsuyai cursed.

   But everyone knew that it was not that the former army had missed out, but that the former army was on the verge of defeat.

   Immediately Takeda Katsurai roared, and this time, regardless of the guard's obstruction, he stepped forward with his gun to fight. Takeda Katsuyori's current spear skills are even praised by Rehmannia Hachiman, and his strength has long been among the ranks of Takeda's strong generals.

   Takeda Masaru Laiyong is unstoppable, picking down five soldiers from the Echigo Army who attacked in a row. The Echigo Army was terrified. The Takeda Army fought desperately. Before each Takeda soldier fell, he killed at least one Echigo soldier to lay his back.

   However, the number of the Echigo army who came this time was quite large, and these Takeda Katsuyori's sidelines and Ashikaru were still killed one by one.

   At this moment, Kansuke Yamamoto was suddenly cut with a knife by an exquisite Echigo samurai, and then one of his right arms was cut off by the opponent alive.

   Yamamoto Kansuke fell to the ground, his vision blurred.

   "Yamamoto-sama." Sanada yelled, then rushed forward and desperately killed the Echigo samurai. At this moment, Yamamoto Kansuke was dying, and his right shoulder was bleeding at the moment.

Takeda Katsuyori begged to kill another Echigo samurai, and retreated to Masyuki Sanada and Kansuke Yamamoto~www.wuxiamtl.com~ At the moment, there are only four Takeda sergeants left around him, and all of them are wounded. Drops of blood on his body and on the knife fell to the ground.

   Behind everyone is the flag of the main formation, the "Suwa Dharma-Xing Sanskrit Flag" and the "Kawaba Flag".

   Seven or eight Echigo soldiers attacked again, trying to completely solve the last defensive force of the enemy's main line.

   At this moment, a person suddenly crossed the battlefield and shot out, and saw that this person was incredibly fast. After pulling out the sheath instantly, the light of the knife, like snow, passed by the soldiers in Echigo.

   "Your Majesty, Shioka Kazuha is late, please forgive me." Shioka Kazuha bowed and saluted, behind him are the corpses of several Echigo soldiers. Seeing Shioka Kazuha retreating the Echigo soldiers alone, Takeda Katsurai breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, and sat down stiffly on the ground, and asked, "Li Xiao, where is he?"

   And now on the side of the hillside. Li Xiao, wearing a big pocket that stood before the sun and the moon, was draped in a heavy armor, and he was turning over and jumping on his chestnut horse.

   Li Xiao inserted a flag finger with Takeda Hiroshima on his back into the back tube, then took two long riding lances and held it with his right hand.

  Looking at the foot of the mountain, the Echigo generals, dense like ants and mountains like the sea, Li Xiao looked back and glanced at the side of the island, Yumi Ohata.

   Both of them nodded slightly to Li Xiao.

   "Drive!"

Suddenly, Li Xiao yelled, kicked the horse belly with his leg, while the horse was driving, the headwind attacked, Li Xiao felt the flag behind him, there was a loud noise at this moment, and more than sixty people were on their backs. The Takeda cavalry, who also had the four-cut diamond flag, also leaped on their saddles, followed behind Li Xiao, their horses turned with four hooves, making a muffled sound like thunder, and slew down the mountain in an overwhelming manner.
