In the evening, the torrential rain ceased, and the setting sun fell on the ground through the cracks of the dark clouds.

　　 Iwagaki Castle stands still.

　　 Iwagaki Ninomaru The body of the former Echifu Army, Chen Heng, flags inserted upside down, and spears broken, are everywhere.

　　The Takeda army who returned from the victory was all excited and raised their guns and shouted.

　　 Takeda Katsurai was immersed in the victory just now, as if he had forgotten the 16,000 Echigo army outside the city still watching.

　　Baba Masabo, Masanori Masanori, Masatsu Masatsu Masauki, Masatada Masabe, Masatada Akiyama, Takeuchi and Gozaemon, Sosada Abe, Tsuda Ohara, and other young generals from the Takeda clan are also very happy.

They all came from a family of samurai, and they heard and witnessed the deeds of their fathers' battles, and they followed Takeda Katsuyari in just a few days, and they won two consecutive victories under the castle of Iwasaki. Suddenly they were confident in Takeda Katsuyori. Bursting.

　　 Only Li Xiao and Masayuki Sanada remained silent.

　　 Takeda Katsurai looked at Li Xiaoyan in ecstasy, and said, "Li Xiao, thanks to your ambush strategy, our army has only broken through the rear army. Why is it that you are not at all happy?"

Happy? Can you be happy now?

　　 Ganzuo Jingchi, Shibata Nagatoshi is just two generals under Uesugi Kenshin's command. Echigo's famous general is like a cloud, and his side has tried his best, but only repelled the two people of Kanzhao Jingchi and Xinfa Tian Changtun, and the overall disadvantage has not been reversed. Kenshin Uesugi can continue to attack with the two generals at any time.

　　 And in the afternoon of the battle, many strong bows made of animal tendons have been scrapped because of the rain. In addition, the arrow consumption is very large, and the next defensive battle can only rely on iron cannons.

　　 Li Xiao glanced at Takeda Katsurai, he naturally wouldn't be distracted by the lord at this time.

　　 Just as Li Xiao was about to speak, there was a loud noise of wood collapsing in the direction of Midtown.

　　 The cracking sound made the people present can't help but hear the color change.

　　 Masao Sanada's face changed drastically, and he shouted: "No, it's Jinglou."

　　井楼 is the only place where water is obtained for nearly a thousand Takeda Army soldiers in the whole city.

　　 Echigo Army Honjin.

　　 Ganzuo Jingchi, Shinbata Nagatoshi knelt in front of Uesugi Kenshin on one knee.

　　 Kennobu Uesugi was holding the military uniform in his hand, standing on his back, and a group of Echigo generals beside Kanazakuji and Shibata Nagatoshi stood with their breath held in silence.

　　The Echigo Army suffered this horrific defeat, and Uesugi Kenshin was furious with thunder. Everyone knew it. Everyone wondered what kind of punishment would come to Kanzhao Jingchi, Shinbata Nagato.

　　 For a long time, Kennobu Uesugi sighed and said: "Seven hundred soldiers were lost in one battle. Today's defeat is not all to blame for you. I know your Lang Dang cronies suffered a lot from this battle. Retire, and treat your subordinates well."

　　 Ganchao Jingchi, Shibata Nagatoshi, seeing that Uesugi Kenshin did not punish them, they couldn't help but feel grateful, but when they remembered that they were in Iwasu Castle, they had damaged many children and cronies, and almost burst into tears.

　　 Gan Zhaojing gritted his teeth and said: "Lord, please let your ministers commit crimes and meritorious service. Tomorrow you vowed to conquer Yanqi City. Otherwise, your ministers will have no face to face, the soldiers who died in battle."

　　 "No need, Keichi," Kenshin Uesugi turned around and said decisively, "Tomorrow I will go to battle myself, I will see if this Takeda Katsurai and Li Xiao really have three heads and six arms."

　　 "Master!"

　　 "Your Highness!"

　　 Hearing Uesugi Kenshin said this, the generals in the camp knelt down. If the general general Uesugi Kenshin is allowed to play in person, it does not mean that these Echigo veterans are all a group of wine bags and rice bags.

　　The generals could not bear the humiliation, and they stepped forward to fight.

　　 Usami sat still seated, swaying the feather fan on the side, thinking to herself, the wrist of your highness is really too high.

At this time Usami spoke fully and said: "Lord, in my opinion, Takeda Army's victory in this battle is nothing more than a revelation. I am old, but my ears are not deaf. You have not noticed that today, Iwasaki Is the loudness of the iron cannons at the head of the city much worse than yesterday? It can be seen that the Takeda Army’s iron cannons have run out of ammunition."

　　 After a pause, Usami decided to wave the feather fan in his hand toward the Azumagawa who was down the mountain, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, today's battle will be transformed into our army, which is extremely favorable!"

　　 Uesugi Kenshin and the generals immediately understood what Usami meant.

At this time, a Echigo army envoy, Fan, rode his horse to the mountain, rushed into the tent, and said, "My lord, the wells of Iwasaki Castle have been completely destroyed by our army's Xiaopu, please use bamboo rafts. "

"understood."

　　 Kenshin Uesugi showed joy, and said, "Master Suruga, good job."

Usami smiled slightly, looking like Zhizhu in his hand, taking the folding fan and shook his words: "The water source is broken, Iwasaki's army is in chaos. Takeda Katsurai, Li Xiao, and Daxiong Chaoxiu can only fight again. Personally, I can’t beat the soldiers. I have asked the local farmers that the shower this afternoon was only short-lived. In the next few days, Ueno will not rain a drop of water."

Usami stood up and said loudly: "Everyone, the tiger enters the hunter's net, but the beast is still fighting and fighting back. Moreover, Takeda Katsurai, Li Xiao, and Daxiong Chaoxiu are all powerful generals in the world. If they are there, if it is our army. It is not normal to capture Yanqi City with smooth sailing. One or two defeats are nothing. If this is not underestimated, how can we assist the lord in the future, sweep the four quarters, and conquer the world."

　　The public will hear this, and they will all be unhappy.

Seeing that the generals were defeated, but aroused courage, Uesugi Kenshin nodded and looked at Naoe Mizuna, who had been silent among the generals, and said: "Naoe. You will be the master tomorrow. Will go into battle."

　　 Naoe Mizuna smiled, knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord, I can't wait a long time."

　　 Iwagaki Castle Cage City Battle on the third day.

　　 The Echigo Army was unaffected by yesterday's fiasco, and Kagechi was replaced.

　　The general who attacked Iwagaki Castle was replaced by Mizuna Naoe, the lord of Banjo Castle, and Yamamotoji, the lord of Fudoyama Castle, fixed the length.

　　 Li Xiao could not help but shook his head when he saw the prosperous attack lineup of the Yamashita Echigo Army.

　　 Yesterday, the Echigo Army was so badly injured, and today, it continues to fight you like an okay person again.

　　 The Echigo Army at this moment is like the Hydra in ancient Greek mythology. He just cut his head and then replaced it with another one. On the contrary, the Takeda Army had no reserve army, and could not be supplemented or rested, and the battle was miserable.

　　Takeda army can win one, two, or even several battles in the defense battle, but it can never win. It cannot change the disadvantages of troops and cannot achieve a decisive victory.

　　 Affected by the water cut, the Takeda Army has only a little water reserve ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ only the Honmaru pool. But this little water, apart from the water needed for cooking, is only enough for nearly a thousand people to drink in a day. So from today, the Takeda army can only supply water with a limited amount, including Takeda Katsuyoshi, each person can only drink a small cup.

　　 On the other hand, the Echigo Army also changed its tactics.

　　 Naoe Mizuna is known as the wise general Echigo. Although his tactics are not brave and vigorous, his tactics have changed a lot. He didn't take the front door and slam into hard attack like the Echihou Army's tactics in the first two days.

　　 He borrowed from Uesugi Kenshin’s Qimoto team with a 100-man iron cannon team, together with himself and Yamamotoji’s original iron cannon team, to make up a two-hundred-man iron cannon team.

　　 The number of iron cannons is staggering. Iron cannons were still a scarce item at the time. The entire Echihou Army had tens of thousands of soldiers, and there were only a few hundred iron cannons.

　　 Takeda Katsurai Li Xiao finally tasted the situation of being shot by the opponent's iron cannons, and then being suppressed by madness.

　　 Naoe Mizuna’s iron cannons simply hid behind the arrows of the Ninomaru Castle Gate, and shot against the Takeda Army’s iron cannons on the curved wheel.

　　 The entire siege battle has almost evolved into a battle of iron cannons. The intention was to see that the Takeda Army had few ammunition, and to adopt a war of attrition posture.

　　 And Naoe Mizuna was not satisfied with this, he kept sending troops to climb the stone wall and twist the wheel to harass. When the Takeda army showed a little fatigue, Naoe Mizuna led the army to storm the main gate.

　　 Takeda generals had to run around like a fire brigade, exhausted.

　　 On the third day of the Cage City Battle of Iwasaki Castle, the two sides fought hard for a day, and after each had paid the cost of casualties, the two leaders ended.

　　 The day-to-day war has just ended, and the crisis of water shortage has pushed the Takeda army defending the city into a predicament.
