Samurai of the Takeda Family

Chapter 315: Retreat quickly

Chapter 315 Quick Retreat

It is said that the Takeda Army has already been dispatched and attacked the Uesugi Jinbo Allied Forces.

So everyone present was surprised.

The son of the chief priest of the gods, the son of the chief priest of the gods, said: "Takeda has more than four thousand troops. It can be described as a full mobilization. If the opponent is allowed to copy our army's back path and cut off the food road, then our army will be in a dangerous situation. "

The words of Jinbao's long stay make all Uesugi Jinbao generals who have fought with Li Xiao feel the same.

Jinbao Nagazu turned to Uesugi Kenshin and said, "Please let your minister lead an army to stop the attack of the Takeda family. The minister swears not to let the Takeda army threaten Toyama Castle."

Kenshin Uesugi listened to the words of the gods, smiled faintly, and said: "Etsuzhongshou is my right arm, how can I leave without permission."

Kampo Nagai heard Uesugi Kenshin's refusal, knowing that he still had no doubts about himself, and immediately showed a sad look on his face.

At this time, the chief priest, who has been half-retired, said: "Long stay, you will stay here and send the generals to block the Takeda army. Master Yagata has already decided."

After the father and son of the chief priest of Jinbao expressed their opinions, Naoe Keizuna said: "Li Xiao marched along both sides of the Jintong River, and it was impossible to discern it for a while. That way was the main force of his army. Therefore, only the division of troops was the obstacle. As for the east bank of Jintong River, you can ask Shiina's army to go out of the battle. Stop the Takeda Army on the east coast."

Kenshin Uesugi nodded and said: "That's right. But I guess Li Xiao's main force is mostly on the West Bank, marching along the Hida Street on the right way. So Nagasawa East Castle, Nagasawa West Castle, and Fusaki Castle are three cities. Defense is very important."

The chief priest said: "Nagazawa, the eastern and western cities, have their own generals, Terashima, stationed there, and the more abundant the water stationed in Fusaki City, the more battle-tested generals. Li Xiao didn't get it so easily for a while."

Kenshin Uesugi waved his hand and said: "It's no use. Li Xiao has a weapon for siege, stone fire arrow, and ordinary wooden city. It can't stop it at all. Therefore, to stop Li Xiao, he must fight with him and cannot defend the city. "

When he said this, Kenshin Uesugi turned his head and said in a deep voice, "Kawada Nagao and Nagao Keizao are obedient. You will lead three thousand troops and go to Nagasawa Castle. You don’t have to fight Li Xiao and attack Takeda. With the army's flank posture, it is enough to contain the opponent."

After a pause, Uesugi Kenshin looked at a retainer of the Jinbao family and said: "Shibu Daisuke, the Takeda army is equipped with a large number of iron cannons, stone fire arrows, so I have ordered you to lead this team to meet, and you must suppress the Takeda army’s iron cannons. ."

The retainer of the Jinbao family, who was kneeling on the ground, said loudly.

This person's name is Tang Qinguang. It can be seen from the Miao characters that he is also a migrant, and his ancestors came from China or North Korea.

Tang’s Qinguang was the lord of Yuezhong Elementary School out of the city, and he himself was a celebrity in the artillery artillery of Kishiwada, and the premier artillery artillery in Echigo. In history, after the Jinbao family was annexed by Echigo, this person was a retainer of the Uesugi family and a member of the Uesugi family. Artillery guide.

At present, Kenshin Uesugi was worried that Kawada Nagao and Kenao Nagao could not resist Li Xiao's firearms, so he sent Tang people to support Uesugi army and suppressed Li Xiao with his iron artillery team.

Sugi Kenshin's prediction, plus Nagasawa Castle, and Fusaki Castle should be enough to resist Li Xiao's offensive.

Immediately after Kawada long kisses, Nagao Jingzhi, and Tang's pro-Guangzhou trio, immediately set off from Fangshengjin City, left the Uesugi army's main formation, and rolled to the south.

On the top of the city, Kenshin Uesugi waved the bamboo stick forward, pointed at the current Hongan Temple army, and said: "In three days, he launched a fierce attack on the current enemy army and defeated the Hongan Temple army in one fell swoop."

"Oh"

The generals suddenly agreed.

The next day, under Nagazawa East Castle.

Li Xiao's flag, the snake tail two reserve teams have been assembled under the city.

Begin to attack Nagazawa East Castle.

Although before the attack, the defender Terashima had secretly sent someone to Li Xiao, asking him to suspend the offensive and wait for the situation in Vietnam and China to change.

Li Xiaoxin knew that the position of Temple Island was still at the two ends of the snake and the rat, vacillating between Takeda Uesugi.

However, the more so, Li Xiao knew that the more he could not give this person a good face, he must show a strong force and force the other party to completely subdue and join the Takeda army.

So Li Xiao didn't keep his hands, and directly ordered Rui Costa to move the big tube to the Wuchang Mountain in the east part of Nagazawa.

Under the bombardment of Li Xiao's two six-pound direct-fire guns and seven mortar guns, a large hole was blasted on the side of the city.

Immediately Li Xiao ordered the Takeda army to attack the city.

During the period, the Lord Mizu of Fusaki Castle became more and more important, and the post of Terashima in Nagazawa West Castle led the army to rescue.

But halfway through, it was repelled by the army arranged by Li Xiao.

The defender of Nagazawa Higashijo made his best efforts to resist, but for half a day, he still attacked Honmaru for the Takeda army.

The guardian of the castle had an abdomen cut in Honmaru, while the remaining few guards fled from the back of the castle to Nagazawa West Castle.

Nagazawa East Castle was captured.

When Terashima was appointed, Sui Yuesheng saw that the Takeda army was so powerful, and he was frightened for a while, and immediately moved to surrender.

But at this moment, Echigo reinforcements from the north arrived.

Kawada long kisses, Nagao Jingzhi, the three thousand and five hundred troops of the Tang Dynasty rushed to them, so that Temple Island was fixed, and the more heavier Shui became more and more important, he did not dare to act rashly for the time being.

And Li Xiao also saw the reinforcements of Echigo with a single telescope at the newly captured Nagazawa East Fortress.

As soon as the opponent's reinforcements arrived, they did not immediately engage the Takeda Army, but switched to defense in place, and placed a barrier on the ground.

Li Xiao estimated the comparison of the forces of the two sides, and the number of military forces of each other was about the same.

However, Li Xiao's main force is standing, and he will definitely outperform the opponent in terms of combat power.

However, if Li Xiao led the army and forcibly attacked the enemy's front, the loss would definitely still be there.

For Li Xiao, there is no need for the help of the people in Benyuan Temple to be so powerful.

If it is too deep, even if the current enemy is broken, if Uesugi Kenshin's main force is attracted, it will be very bad for Li Xiao.

Anyway, his own military force has arrived, and he has restrained a part of Uesugi Jinbao's military strength. From a moral point of view, it is considered to have done his responsibilities to Hongan Temple.

This step is enough. Li Xiao only needs to sit and watch the battle between Uesugi and Honganji.

Therefore, Li Xiao immediately took over the East Castle of Nagazawa and turned to the defense on the spot. While sending ninjas to inquire about the outcome of the battle between Uesugi Army and Yixiangzong, while waiting for news of Honganji's defeat, he immediately retreated.

After more than ten days, the result of the Uesugi Army's Hongan Temple's war of freeing life and Tianjin has come out.

As in history, Hongan Temple failed to block the Echigo Jinbao Allied Forces. The two sides fought fiercely for several days. The Hongan Temple front always collapsed and defeated like a mountain.

Although Xuanzong of Hongan Temple and Lianchen organized several counterattacks later, they were all crushed by Kenshin Uesugi.

The Hongan Temple army was defeated in battle and defeated. If it was defeated, it would withdraw. After another battle and defeat, the Uesugi army was crushed by the enemy. All the way, the enemy rushed from the city of Fangshengjin to Shidongshan, which can cross the border. Stop the collapse.

In this battle, it was easy to recover part of the vitality from the previous battle of Zengshan City, Yuezhong Yixiangzong, and suffered another severe damage.

After hearing about the frontal defeat of the Hongan Temple army, Li Xiao immediately sighed, and as expected, he faced Uesugi Kenshin. The Hongan Temple group would not show themselves even a little surprise. Apart from the big defeat, it was a big defeat. , Not even the ability to cause the slightest trouble to the Echigo Army.

But for Li Xiao right now, after the fiasco of Fangshengjin, Honganji continued to contain the enemy forces here in the East Castle of Nagasawa, which has become a meaningless move.

Therefore, Li Xiao did not hesitate for a moment, and immediately led his army to withdraw from the East Castle of Nagasawa and retreated south.

At this time, after Uesugi Kenshin finished pursuing the current defeated Honganji army, he personally led the main force to turn to the south to pursue the Takeda army's retreat.

Li Xiaoyi retreated, Kawada kissed him, Nagao Keizao, and his team led by the three people from Tang Dynasty and Guangxi rushed up and tried their best to organize Li Xiao's army to retreat.

Shen Gangbei arranged by Li Xiao, Sheweibei crossed the hall and retreated.

Immediately, the chasing soldiers met with Li Xiao's army behind the palace.

The scene of the Uesugi army's pursuit was something that Li Xiao did not expect. The Uesugi army was equipped with a large number of iron cannons. This was something that Li Xiao didn't expect.

Under the fierce battle between the two sides, the iron artillery team of the Takeda Army was actually suppressed by the intensive volley of iron artillery fire from the other side.

At the moment Li Xiao had heard that Uesugi Kenshin's main striker had already approached his own army.

Although Li Xiao had anticipated this, under the command of Uesugi Kenshin, the Echigo Army blitzed at an astonishing speed, and rushed to the Takeda Army day and night.

If this situation continues, the enemy will continue to be delayed by the main force of Uesugi Kenshin, and the consequences will be disastrous.

So Li Xiao immediately had to break his arm, cut his flesh with the heart, and blew up all the seven mortar guns that slowed the marching speed of the army on the spot.

And if it hadn’t been for Rui Costa’s bitter pleading, Li Xiao would even blow up the last two six-pound direct-fire guns on the way. Even so, the generals of the Takeda army discarded all unnecessary dry food and heavy things on the way to retreat. Li Xiao ordered his troops to speed up. Retreat speed.

Therefore, the scene of the Takeda army's hasty retreat seemed quite embarrassing.

Kawada long kiss, Nagao Jingzhi, the Tang people's pro-Guang trio led an army to chase wildly behind, all the way behind the Takeda army's buttocks, Li Xiao ordered all the troops to take turns to resist, and then reluctantly forced the opponent back.

Fortunately, the process of retreat was shocking and without danger, and the military was not compromised~lightnovelpub.net~ Li Xiaojun finally returned to Chengsheng City smoothly.

And shortly after Li Xiao withdrew into Chengsheng City, Uesugi Kenshin's Pizi flag appeared not far outside the city.

Uesugi Kenshin sat high on the horse, slowly looking at the outline of the city in the distance.

And the three of Kawada long kiss, Nagao Jingzhi, and Tang people kiss Guang, all kneeling in front of Qianxin horse.

Kawada reported in a personal report: "Takeda Army is very powerful. Despite our best efforts, we did not keep the opponent. Please also ask the Lord to punish the crime."

Kenshin Uesugi frowned slightly when he heard this, and said: "It's not your responsibility. I know how powerful Li Xiaozhi's army is. Although we all tried our best, we still fell short in the end."

Nagao Kei bluntly said: "Lord, Li Xiao is trapped in the city right now, and we can wait for all the main forces to arrive and capture this city. In this way, Li Xiaosheng can also be captured in front of the lord."

Kenshin Uesugi's expression moved slightly when he heard the words, and at this moment, an Echigo envoy rushed to Uesugi Kenshin's horse and said loudly: "Lord, Honjo has turned back." ..
