Contrary to the advancing Takeda army, the Echigo army is retreating faster.

　　 For Uesugi Kenshin, the seven-day hard fight under Iwagaki Castle had lost nearly 3,000 troops, but had no gain, and had already frustrated the morale of the Echigo army.

　　 Finally, when it was heard that Takeda Shingen was rushing to rescue Iwagaki Castle, Uesugi Kenshin was already a bit slower when he launched a general attack.

　　 Before the strong castle, it is undoubtedly unwise for the Echigo Army to turn around and fight the Takeda Army. Although Uesugi Kenshin is not afraid of anyone in the field, it is not the time for the Echigo Army to fight.

　　 In the face of the 20,000 Jiaxin soldiers brought by Takeda Shingen, Uesugi Kenshin finally chose to retreat, temporarily avoiding the edge of the Takeda army. At the same time, Kenshin Uesugi also received a report from the ninjas that Takeda Shingen had gone out of Azuma-gun and had returned to Ueno. Hojo clan Yasushi also mobilized from Odawara and gathered 25,000 troops to plan Takeda Shingen’s attack on Ueno. .

　　 looked at the scarlet army under Iwagaki Castle.

　　 Ken Uesugi was confident that Shingen Takeda could mobilize so many troops, and it was also showing to the world that the Takeda family had completely recovered from the battle on Chuanakajima, and was able to win the battle before.

　　 Thinking of this, Uesugi Kenshin couldn't help but sighed, saying: "Sheng Lai's good warfare is no less than Shingen! It's really a big worry for my Echigo."

At 　　 Iwagaki Castle Tengu Maru, Li Xiao looked at Takeda Shingen's Fenglin Volcano flag under the castle.

He suddenly remembered that in the movie Shadow Warrior, Kurosawa Akira's interpretation of "Fenglin Volcano" was that when the army attacked, the cavalry first launched a fast attack like the wind, and then the infantry advanced like a forest, and finally the cavalry was like fire. Sweeping thousands of troops, and Xinxuan himself will always watch and command from the rear, immovable like a mountain.

　　 This statement is obviously based on the needs of the plot, not the truth.

In the post bar, Li Xiao saw that netizens had created another interpretation of Fenglinshan Mountain, which is to flee before the battle, its speed is like the wind; when attacking the city, it is like a forest; looting the people, invading and attacking like fire; the lord is in trouble. Immovable as a mountain!

　　 This really made him laugh.

　　Actually, Japan was the first to use the "Fenglin Volcano Flag", which was the family of the Southern Dynasty general Hokuhata Kenji during the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

"Fenglin Volcano" is taken from the military battle of "The Art of War by Sun Tzu". At that time, the so-called military science in Japan was similar to yin and yang studies. Spectrum.

　　 Later, "The Art of War", "Three Strategies", and "Six Secret Teachings" were introduced to Japan. At that time, a group of people specialized in research, which greatly improved the military thinking of Japanese soldiers. But "The Art of War" has always been spread in the form of a Chinese book, and only people who know Chinese can read it. It was not until the mid-Edo period that the Japanese version was circulated.

At that time, the royal family even took the "Sun Tzu Art of War" as a secret book of the art of war. Only the royal family and princes could see it. Later, military scholars regarded it as a secret collector and did not pass it on to the outside world. It was dictated by generations. Transcripts circulated.

　　 Therefore, the books that recorded "The Art of War of Sun Tzu" were still very scarce during the Warring States Period. It is not surprising that when Taige decided to pass on the art of war, a book of Art of War of Sun Tzu was carried on him, and he could get a command of +12.

It is said that "The Art of War of Sun Tzu" has existed for generations as the emperor's companion to the Oe clan, and was later passed on to the great Confucian, the head of the university, Oe Kuangfang, and then from Kuangfang to the origin of the name "the world's first warrior" at that time. In the hands of the family, the Genyoshi family passed on to his younger brother, Silla Saburo, the ancestor of the Kai Takeda clan, namely Gen Yoshimitsu.

"The Art of War" was then passed on to the Genshi Takeda in Koshu. It was the one of Takeda Shingen who held this side of the "Four Words of Sun Tzu" in the Southern and Northern Wars, and was invincible. During the Edo period, Koshu Ryuu Art of War selected the four characters "Fenglin Volcano" as its name. Essential.

　　 However, the art of war of Oe-ryu is not limited to this line. In the early Kamakura period, he assisted Yoshitomo, the great military expert of the Hojo clan, Oe Hiromoto, and his descendants lived in the Sagami country's Maori-shuang, and then used Maori as the Miao character.

　　 And Maori Yuan, known as the first wise general of the Warring States Period, is the descendant of Oe Guangyuan.

　　 "Hey!"

　　 While Li Xiao was thinking about it, a monstrous sound came from under Iwagaki Castle.

　　 I saw Takeda Shingen’s flagmoto army heading towards Iwagaki Castle under the flags of "Fujirinvolcano" and "Suwa Daimyojin".

　　 Seeing the main formation pass by, the army on the side is like splitting waves, vacating a road leading to Iwagaki Castle.

　　 Takeda Shingen himself wears a lion head ghost face and a Suwa Dharma headband with white bear hair behind his pocket, riding on the famous horse "black cloud" slowly.

　　 Takeda Shingen sat on the horse with a calm expression. Although his expression was calm, he had the spirit of looking at the world. He rode his horse to inspect like a military parade, and the Takeda troops on both sides.

　　 The gust of wind blew through Takeda Hiroshima's flag fingers and objects, and I saw Takeda Shingen raising his hands from time to time and nodding to the soldiers on both sides, while the surrounding Takeda soldiers responded with the sound of a tsunami like a mountain whistling.

I saw Takeda Shingen raise his whip and suddenly slammed the "black cloud" under his hip. The black cloud made a long cry, and the four hooves crossed, galloping like a flash of wind and lightning. The generals under his command also saw this and also rode horses. , Followed closely behind Takeda Shingen.

　　 "Hey!"

　　 "Hey!"

　　 Twenty thousand Takeda soldiers raised the tips of their guns together, and the sound of high cheers resounded through the sky.

　　 Takeda Katsurai, Li Xiao and others saw it at the head of the city and quickly opened the city gate.

　　Because the Echigo army has retired, Takeda Shingen ordered a military meeting in Iwasaki Castle, and all the generals and their family members entered Iwasaki Castle together.

　　 "See my father!"

　　 "See the lord!"

　　 Takeda Katsuyori led a group of generals to greet Takeda Shingen under the castle.

　　 Takeda Shingen immediately glanced at Takeda Katsuyoshi, and saw that Takeda Katsuyori's antler pocket was folded in half, and there were also several gaps in the armor that were not dried.

　　 Takeda Shingen immediately nodded his head heavily and said, "Very good, I have worked hard."

　　 After speaking, Takeda Shingen jumped down from his horse, picked up Takeda Katsuyori with both hands, threw his hand, and said: "Let's enter the city together!"

　　 So the Takeda clan's descendants, under the command of Takeda Katsuyoshi and Takeda Shingen Banner, entered the city together, and the 20,000 Takeda troops who came to aid were stationed directly under Iwasaki Castle.

　　The soldiers walked from Tengumaru along the horse road to Honmaru, and saw no trace of the fierce battle in the city.

　　 Especially Tengu Maru ~lightnovelpub.net~ can be described as a sea of ​​corpses. The bodies of the soldiers of the two armies have not been cleaned up yet, and they are piled up in the city.

　　 There are long spears inserted upside down, broken flag fingers, swords with curved blades, bows and arrows immersed in corpses, and small bullet holes made by iron cannons everywhere on the stone walls.

　　 It is not that the generals of the Takeda army have seen **** battles, but such a tragic scene still made these people look at them. How did Takeda Katsuyori and his men experienced such a tragic siege.

　　 But when they saw the soldiers of Takeda Katsuyori, they were all adorned one by one, either dead or wounded, each could not help but sigh.

　　 As the so-called soldier's courage, it cares about the general's courage. Had it not been for Takeda's bravery and perseverance, this Iwagaki Castle would have already been captured.

Facing the encirclement of the 17,000-man Echigo Army, and with a brave general like Uesugi Kenshin in command, Takeda Katsuya relied on a small amount of troops and supported it for six days. This talent did not think of a second person among the generals of the Takeda clan. .

　　 For the bravery of Takeda Katsuyoshi, there are rumors in the battle of Shirane Mountain, but I haven't seen it with my own eyes. But now that they came to Iwasaki City in person, they were convinced that the rumors were true.

　　 At this moment, in the eyes of the generals of the Takeda family, they are convinced that Takeda Katsuyori is worthy of being the son of Takeda Shingen, and his bravery and fighting skills are no less than his father Shingen.

　　 When Machang Xinfang saw several stab wounds on the shoulder of his son Machang Changfang, he was speechless for a while.

　　 And Baba Changfang lowered his head and said, "My father, I was wayward at the beginning."

　　 Racecourse Letter Room nodded and said: "Yes, you did a good job under His Royal Highness Shenglai, and you won't lose the name of my racecourse family."

　　 So the generals of the Takeda family went all the way from Tengumaru and Ninomaru to Castle Honmaru.

　　 gathered in the main castle tower of Honmaru, and Shingen Takeda held a military meeting in person.
