Chapter 327 Bloody Battle

Yuezhong.

The heavy rain had just stopped, and the sky was half of the clouded sky bright.

The turbid current mixed with yellow mud descended along the muddy slope, forming a stream in an instant.

puff

As the turbid current rolls, there is a dull noise from the hillside from time to time. Needless to say, this is the sound of the corpse falling down the hill from the hillside down the current.

In a certain corner of the hillside, more than a dozen corpses piled together in various gestures.

As the heavy rain washed and soaked for a while, the body smelled of a foul smell.

Soon after, more than a dozen people dressed as miscellaneous soldiers, each pushing a pannier, came here.

The two Zuqing, wearing a formation hat, held long spears and pushed them back.

In order to resist the smell of corpses, these soldiers used cloth to tighten their mouths and noses.

After these people put down the work cart, they immediately served one of them, carried the corpse, and put it on the work cart.

They gave priority to moving the corpse in black armor, and at this time a soldier shouted vaguely: "Are you from the Takeda Army also need to move it into the car."

Standing aside with a gun, Zu Qing was also disgusted with the stench, and said impatiently: "Damn, Lord Gokan just said that, whether it is a samurai or an enemy soldier, they will be buried."

"Oh, but there are not enough cars."

"Then move as much as you can."

"Yes."

Looking at the corpses stacked on the truck, he couldn't help but sighed, then raised his head and looked at the Takeda Army's walled city in the middle of the mountain.

On the hillside, the fortress of the Takeda Army has been breached by the Echihou Army.

The ditch was dug under the walled city, filled with rainwater, and one or two corpses floated above every section of the ditch.

On the wooden curved wheel of the walled city, it looked like an arrow target, densely covered with arrow feathers and holes after the iron cannon shot.

At the gate of the walled city where the fighting was the fiercest, the wooden gate had already been burned into coke by the fire during the siege.

There were more than twenty corpses piled up at the gate, and the corpses of the soldiers from the two armies of Takeda Echigo were stacked on top of each other.

Seeing such a price paid for a walled city, this famous person couldn't help but convulse.

"Hurry up, at least there are hundreds of corpses, do you want to move them?"

Zuqing spoke out and urged.

At the moment, the battle between the Takeda Army and the Uesugi Army has been delayed until the end of September.

After Uesugi Kenshin joined the reinforcements of Keiji Amazawa, his strength was already higher than that of the Takeda Army.

So the Uesugi army immediately launched an offensive against the confrontation Takeda army.

On the side of the Takeda Army, there was no idleness either.

Since the day of the match, Li Xiao's Takeda army seems to have only been doing one thing, that is, digging trenches and repairing the walled city.

As a result, the soldiers of the Echigo Army can hear the ping-pong-pong sound of the mountain on the opposite side before they wake up in the morning.

It turned out that the Takeda Army had already gotten up and was busy like a groundhog.

The Takeda army was on all sides of the position, digging trenches and repairing the walled city.

Moreover, the Takeda Army did not work in one or two days, but was greedy for the dark in the morning and continued to work, with the momentum of building several new cities here.

The Echigo Army was very surprised that the Takeda Army did not attack, but instead built fortifications. In the Warring States period, I never heard of any country's name that used this tactic.

When the Echigo Army reported to Uesugi Kenshin for the construction of the fortifications by the Takeda Army, the other party pondered for a while, but did not say anything.

The Uesugi Army also let the Takeda Army go on like this, and did not harass the opponent's construction of fortifications.

In fact, they could not be harassed. After the Takeda Army received the reinforcements from Baba Masabo and Hongan Temple, the total force has reached 9,000.

So after nearly three months, when the reinforcements of Kanazawa Jingchi arrived.

The Uesugi Army who was about to attack discovered that the Takeda Army’s main formation and the area where the units were located had built a total of twelve temporary castles.

The four sides are built like an iron bucket.

And the Takeda Army has not stopped, their project is still continuing, the front continues to extend in all directions, and the three unbuilt castles are still being built.

In response to this situation, the Uesugi samurai came from the top to the bottom, looking very speechless.

Therefore, although the Uesugi Army's initial offensive took advantage of its strength, it fell into a bitter battle for a while.

The Takeda Army’s walls were guarded by relatively weak Hida and Yuezhong tycoons. Li Xiao’s three major units, as mobile wandering troops, thought to support each other.

In addition, the construction of the Takeda Army Walled City is very skillful, and they echo each other.

Attacking a walled city will inevitably be flanked by other walled cities, making the Etsuhou army often unable to attack a walled city alone.

When attacking the walled city, the Echigo Army must also beware of the side attacks of the three major units of the Takeda Army.

In the first three days of the war, although the Uesugi Army had a superior military strength, the offensive was not smooth.

During the attack on the Takeda Army Walled City, Echigo General Tenjin Mountain Castle Lord Oguni Raihisa's team was ambushed by Li Xiao's Kamiokabei and Showeibei.

The small country Laijiu died in battle, and the first level was taken, and the Uesugi army killed more than 300 people in this battle.

Oguni Raihisa is the veteran of the Uesugi family. Since the first Chuanakajima battle, he has participated in many Uesugi family battles. He is also one of the twenty-five generals of Uesugi.

After this person died in battle, Ken Uesugi heard the furious, and immediately ordered to stop the attack.

In the first three days, the Uesugi Army suffered nearly a thousand casualties under the Takeda Army Walled City. This proves how useful the defense net established by the Takeda Army for three months is.

Kenshin Uesugi stopped the offensive, just re-seeking the means of attack.

Kenshin Uesugi stationed at Mashantou, observing the Takeda army position for a full day, and finally found out the flaws for him.

The next day Uesugi Kenshin concentrated more than 3,000 troops and selected them to storm a walled city of Takeda Army.

The various reinforcements sent by Li Xiao were blocked by the Uesugi Army desperately.

The Uesugi Army fought fiercely for a day and finally broke through a walled city in Li Xiao's defense circle.

It is Li Xiao's subordinate Yuli and Hirose Zongcheng, the lord of Hida Gaotang City, who is stationed in the walled city.

The Hirose Sect Castle was killed in battle, and the next two hundred people died or were surrendered.

The walled city lacked a link and its defense weakened. The Uesugi Army continued to attack along the gap for the next seven days.

The Takeda Army Walled City broke three more for the Uesugi Army.

Li Xiao subordinates the Yuezhong tycoon, and the lord of Akamaru Castle, Nakayama Jiro Bingwei, died in battle.

Jinbao, the lord of Shiratori Castle, of Jinbao's family, lived there, and was shot in the right eye with a bow and arrow during the defense battle, almost piercing his head.

The famous Uesugi general, Saito Asanobu, also known as Echigo Zhongkui, was hit by a stray bullet from the Takeda Army during the siege, and he was seriously injured.

During the battle for the walled city, Li Xiao’s banners, snake tails, and Kamokabei took turns to battle with Uesugi Kenshin’s banners. The two armies fought fiercely for several days, and both suffered heavy casualties. Death and wounded mess.

However, during the battle, there was an unexpected surprise for Li Xiao. Li Xiaoqi's main general Fujido Takatora was pursuing, regardless of the seven injuries on his body. .

It was indeed unexpected for Li Xiao to be able to capture the future Patriarch of the Uesugi family in history.

However, Li Xiao did not embarrass this person and ordered him to be detained.

However, the overall warfare was unfavorable for Li Xiao. Four walled cities had been breached, causing the defensive network to burst, and the gap in Li Xiao's defense line was getting bigger and bigger.

At this moment, Li Xiao's heart also has no bottom. If the war continues, he does not know how many days he can sustain it, or whether it can be delayed until the moment when his plan takes effect.

But just when Li Xiao was worried, a tycoon rescued Li Xiao's plight in time.

This tycoon had a huge impact. Under the rain washed away, the mountains were muddy and difficult to navigate. The two armies could no longer continue the fierce battle, and had to retreat separately.

Li Xiao finally got this opportunity to take a breather, restoring the army while counting the casualties.

After the ten days of fierce fighting, the Takeda army was killed or injured close to two thousand people.

Such a **** battle, although everyone had anticipated it before the war, everyone still couldn't sit still when it happened.

Of course, it was Li Xiao who was under the most pressure. The Yuezhong tycoons under his command had suffered a lot in this battle. Right now, this group of people could not bear it. They united and asked Li Xiao to retreat several times.

Of course, there are various excuses, such as the thief at home, the autumn harvest is imminent, the lack of manpower, and so on.

However, their unified caliber was that the Shiina clan who was attacked were not close alliances with each other. Is it worth the blood and sacrifice for the Shiina clan? Let them die.

Li Xiao understands the position of these little tycoons. They are more concerned about their own one-acre three-quarter land, whether their family name can survive, what is the autumn harvest of the territory, and whether the stone height can increase.

But Li Xiao is different. He must consider the overall situation. Shiina and Li Xiao are now grasshoppers on the same rope.

Once Matsukura Castle is captured, it will be Li Xiao's turn next, and he will be exposed to the Uesugi family's soldiers. As soon as the news of Li Xiao's withdrawal of troops comes out, Shiina Yasushi must surrender to the Uesugi family without saying a word.

So this war has been going on until now, even if it is difficult, it must continue.

Li Xiao also worked hard. These days of fierce battles, his standing casualties are known to be huge. On the battlefield, the Uesugi Army's elite Qiben army, the two armies fought against each other as corpses.

Li Xiao did not use the Yuezhong tycoons as cannon fodder, so it was also one of the reasons why the Yuezhong tycoons were willing to work for Li Xiao, otherwise they would have oiled their feet and brought their troops home.

Compared with the Takeda Army’s huge casualties, the Uesugi Army had a hard time. As the attacker, they now suffered even more casualties.

There were three thousand soldiers casualties in Echigo~lightnovelpub.net~ This is the most tragic battle that has never been seen since the battle of Chuanzhongdao.

Saito Chaoxin is seriously injured at the moment, life or death is unknown, the general Kokuni Raihisa asks for the Takeda army again, and even Kenshin's adopted son Jingsheng is captured by the Takeda army.

Thinking of the courage of the Takeda army in these days of fierce fighting, the Echigo army shuddered.

Sure enough, as Uesugi Kenshin said before, Li Xiao's three standing offensives are fierce and can be called a rare strong army.

With the above-mentioned Shan Qianxin's ability to personally command the banner army to fight, he can only barely get a tie with Li Xiao's standing. If it is replaced by another person's command, or the Echihou army with average combat strength, the result will be unimaginable.

With such heavy casualties, the Echigo Army was not an iron man. In fact, the generals did not know the current situation of the Takeda family, and they were not sure of defeating it in their hearts.

They have now begun lobbying for Uesugi Kenshin to retreat.
