Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 255: Prologue to the Battle

Zengshan City was besieged by the Hongan Temple army for the third day. (Please keep in mind)

Under Zengshan City, the chanted Nammu Amitabha Buddha's name roared like a sweeping wave, and the towering banners of ‘Nanmu Amitabha’ even covered the sky.

The iron cannons roared over the city, and the arrows shuttled like locusts. From time to time, the ball of fire ignited and smashed down from the top of the city.

But none of this can stop the fanatical Yixiangzong disciple.

"Further, rebirth in bliss, and one step back is hell."

The disciples of Yixiangzong who were instigated by religious passions rushed towards the big hand gate holding this charm.

These people seldom participated in the war. Although there were monks and soldiers and their respective leaders serving in the organization, there was still a lack of structure and cover between the attacks, almost relying on human flesh.

The corpses of the disciples in ragged clothes were everywhere in front of Dashoumen, as if they were cut into a pile of wheat straw on the ground in autumn, and the fresh lives turned into icy corpses in a blink of an eye.

As for the warriors of the Jinbao family who guarded the city, their hands were weakened, but when they looked forward, they were still the disciples of the Yixiangzong crowding in continuously.

Soon the Dashou Gate was finally breached, and the disciples of the Yixiangzong rushed into the city unblocked.

The warriors of the Jinbao family were served by more than a dozen others. After being thrown to the ground by their disciples, some samurai were stabbed with a knife, smashed with a stone, pierced with a spear, and even leaped to the neck with their teeth. The bite was extremely miserable.

Despite the most resolute resistance from the presidency of the gods, Zengshan Castle was gradually unable to sustain it under the assaults of countless disciples of Yixiangzong who were as numerous as ants.

Outside the city of Zengshan, on a mountain in two miles, Li Xiaojun's main formation.

All the retainers knew that Li Xiao would not move for the time being and watch the battle from the sidelines before the victory or defeat, so now they are sitting on the Mazar watching the siege battle with the mentality of a bystander.

However, as Zengshan City was in danger, many of the retainers began to be shocked. The more famous and strong city of Zengshan City, unexpectedly could not stop the crowded offensive of Hongan Temple.

"The tactics of Shengxing Temple don't take human life seriously. Those who rush to the front are the most pious disciples, so even if Zengshan City is captured, the damage will be great."

When Koichiro Kinoshita saw this, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, seeming to move with compassion, and finally couldn't help but sighed.

"They are also inevitable," Li Xiao said. "Xuanzong's intention is obvious. It is to use such a large number of killing and killing human tactics to capture Zengshan City before the Uesugi family's reinforcements. With a preemptive move, he turned his head to face the Uesugi army."

When Li Xiao said this, everyone suddenly realized.

Hongan Temple Xuanzong's plan is understandable.

"Nanwu Amitabha." As a disciple of Yixiangzong, Bendu Zhengxin put his hands together and silently watched the killing under Zengshan City. He didn't know what he was thinking of at the moment.

Li Xiao silently guessed the thoughts of Benduoduo.

At this time, Dao Shengmeng stood up and said to Zengshan City: "If there is no accident, Zengshan City will be breached within today. If even Jiancheng Zengshan City is lost, the Shenbao family will be destroyed. There is no way to resist the forces of Hongan Temple."

"If the Jinbao family is destroyed and the Yue guardian generation is cut off, under this situation, the Hongan Temple and the Uesugi family's decisive battle will be irreversible regardless of victory or invincibility."

Li Xiao knows well that Dao Shengmeng's words represent the concerns of all his retainers and himself. The situation of Hongan Temple's unification of Yue is definitely something they don't want to see.

But at this moment, Ruyue's forces are second only to the Shiina family of the Jinbao family, and now facing the 80,000 army that has always been sect, they are also shrinking their troops and dare not move.

As for the remaining Kikuchi family, Terashima family, Ishiguro family, and the Yuehao family who arrived early in response to the letter from Uesugi Kenri, they did not dare to move forward.

This group of troops who came to aid could only watch the army of Zongzong besiege Zengshan City and heard it for several miles.

At this moment, Li Xiaojun's Wujian Fantou rushed up the mountain from the foot of the mountain on a fast horse, and came to the front of the formation.

"Report to the lord, Uesugi Teruho has arrived at the head of his army."

After talking about this famous item, Fantou reached out his hand and pointed at a hill to the east.

When all the retainers heard the words, they all stood up and moved their bodies to look to the east. At this moment, Li Xiaoan was the only one who sat still and closed his gaze back, but he looked at Usami Masayo who had newly acquired his own flag.

If this person is really feuding against Uesugi Kenshin, hearing the arrival of the other party at this moment, you can definitely see the strangeness in his expression. If it doesn't, it must be meticulous.

Li Xiao thought this way in his heart. When he looked at Usami Katsuyuki, he looked very strange. He stared at the mountain where Uesugi Kenshin was located, clasped his hands, his eyes seemed to be full of tears, and he was a little gaffey.

What does this look mean?

Li Xiao was a little puzzled at once, saying that this person was excited, there must be some, but where did this inexplicable sadness come from?

As a result, Li Xiao became even more confused about his identity and background.

"Lord, it's really the flag of Uesugi Teruhu himself, the flag with the word'bi' and the flag with the chaotic'dragon'."

Li Xiao gave up his intention to continue investigating Usami Masayo, and turned to look on the top of the mountain.

This is not the first time Li Xiao has seen the flag of Shan Qianxin on these two sides. On Kawashima, Shirane Mountain, and Iwaju Castle, he has met the first warrior **** of the Japanese Warring States three times.

Li Xiao vaguely felt that this Takeda Shingen and his lifelong enemy were on this mountain at this moment.

"Yes, it is Uesugi Huihu himself. He has already arrived." Li Xiao left Mazza and pointed his whip towards the opposite mountain.

At this moment Uesugi Ken's letter head is pierced with a bowl, holding a big spear, and riding on the horse.

He turned his head and glanced, the sun and moon double-patterned flag finger on the hill next door seemed to say casually: "Li Xiao is here too."

"Yes, Lord." Murakami Kenshin reported to Uesugi Kenshin. After his father Yoshiki Murakami died at the hands of Li Xiao, Uesugi Kenshin pityed him for his loneliness and personally married his adopted daughter, so Murakami Kenshin has entered right now. The Uesugi family is in a crowd.

Looking at Li Xiao's sun-moon double-patterned flag, Murakami's eyes showed a sorrowful color.

"Guoqing, our biggest opponent in this battle is Yi Xiangzong, not Li Xiao. You need to understand this."

Koshiki Murakami replied with a loud voice, and then looked down the mountain.

At this time, the Uesugi family members of the Uesugi family rode up the mountain, and Uesugi Qian believed and said: "The lord, the more powerful people, all hesitate to have the vast army of Shengxing Temple, and they dare not follow our army."

"A group of cowards are not worthy of the martial arts name." Uesugi's fierce general Yasuda Nomoto said loudly.

Immediately, Nomoto Yasuda asked Uesugi Teruto to speak: "Please let me be the first battle, defeat the Honganji army in front of me, and promote my name as Echigo."

"Don't be rash, Yasuda-sama, you have 80,000 troops in Honganji, but on the contrary, we only have 2,000 people" Masanori Kamijou spoke out.

"Kamijo-sama, are you afraid too?"

"It's not fear, but I can only refuse to make meaningless sacrifices. Damn it, most of my strength is controlled by the Takeda family. Otherwise, how can I be afraid of these monks if the army comes out."

"Nonsense, you are obviously timid."

"Master Yasuda, you are insulting my name of the Kamijou family."

Seeing Nomoto Yasuda, Uesugi Masahiro was about to continue arguing, and Uesugi Kenshin waved his hand indifferently.

The two apologized when they saw that they had lost their respect before the king.

Kenshin Uesugi moved the gun forward, pointed at the Hongan Temple army that surrounded Zengshan City for several miles, and said: "What do you think of the Hongan Temple's position?"

The retainers did not understand Uesugi Kenshin's meaning, and looked at each other.

Kenshin Uesugi smiled slightly and said: "Xuanzong of Hongwan Temple is also a talented person among the monks, but unfortunately he didn't know the military strategy."

"Everyone, the Hongan Temple has 80,000 troops, but it is a mob, like a pile of sand, no matter how high it is, it is still sand, and it will be destroyed in one blow. It can win. In my opinion, the Hongan Temple's layout is full of flaws, and it can be broken at any time."

When the audience heard Uesugi Kenshin's words like this, they were all confident.

Just as there was a tumult, the dull Taiko drum rang, which was like a thunder that rang for a long time, awakening the disciples of Yixiangzong who had been immersed in fanaticism.

It was already the afternoon, and the sun was already west.

On the opposite hill, Echigo's first horseback team lined up the city and a long black line appeared on the hill.

The horse's mouth repeatedly bit the horse bit, and the horse's hoof kicked the soil underneath.

The horseback warriors of the Echihou Army were holding big guns and looked down the mountain with awe-inspiring expressions. The Waimaru of Zengshan City was smoking and blazing fire everywhere, and the defenders were still making the last resistance.

Yi Xiangzong under the mountain discovered the strength of the Echihou Army and quickly organized his disciples.

The disciples of Yixiangzong who were immersed in the head of Zengshan City were mobilized, rushed in, and set up a defense in the direction of the Echihou Army.

At this moment, Kenshin Uesugi appeared in front of the Echihou Army's riding team, wearing a heavy armor and wearing a striking armor riding a horse.

"Murakami, you lead the head guard on my left flank."

"Kamijo, you guard my right flank."

"Ysada, Kojima, you two follow me straight to the main formation of Hongan Temple."

After Uesugi Kenshin finished his instructions, the four generals cried out and rode away.

At this time, Kenshin Uesugi raised the gun in his hand ~lightnovelpub.net~ The Echigo cavalry behind him, together neatly and uniformly placed the head of the pistol on the ground, and lay it down.

"Visamon God bless you."

Kenshin Uesugi pierced the tip of the gun into the air, and roared.

The samurai of the Echigo Army behind, immediately let out a cry like a stormy sea.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

The disciples of Hongan Temple who had not gone through the war, hurriedly mobilized, began to tremble under the roar of ghosts and gods.

Then it throbbed like a taiko drum sounded by muffled thunder.

Kenshin Uesugi waved his gun forward and shouted loudly.

"Get out."
