- Beizhizhuang City.
The headquarters of the Takeda Army.
Li Xiao was sitting on the maza, watching the battle in Beizhizhuang City.
The man on the side approached and brought a bowl of tea and rice to Li Xiao.
The fragrant smell of chazuke rice reached the tip of Li Xiao's nose, which made him feel appetizing and couldn't help but turn his eyes away.
At that moment, Li Xiao picked up the chopsticks and took a big mouthful of rice into the bowl.
But before Li Xiao took a few bites, several envoys here had arrived at the formation and reported the military situation to Li Xiao.
"Reporting to my lord, the Kinki Corps of the Oda Army, the Ikeda Tsuneki Division, and the Hosokawa Fujitaka Division have entered Echizen and have encountered the Shimakatsu Takeo Division of our Corps. The two armies are now fighting fiercely!"
Hearing this, Li Xiao immediately put down the bowl and asked: "How is the battle going?"
The envoy said: "Shima-sama took the lead in occupying the favorable terrain, and arranged the formation accordingly to take the lead. Therefore, Hosokawa Fujitaka's tribe and Ikeda Tsuneko's tribe were unable to gain the upper hand for a while."
Li Xiao smiled slightly when he heard this. He knew that his betrayal of Hosokawa Fujitaka had an effect.
Relying on his understanding of history, Li Xiao has some confidence in the character of Hosokawa Fujitaka, an outstanding wallflower.
Therefore, with the help of Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the Mibuchi family rebelled against Hosokawa Fujitaka in advance. When Li Xiao decided to go to Luo and set up Kinki, he had already begun to secretly communicate with Hosokawa Fujitaka.
Of course, as an old fox, Hosokawa Fujitaka cannot easily place his bet on either side before the situation is clear.
Therefore, Hosokawa Fujitaka¡¯s secret contact with Li Xiao did not show any particular enthusiasm, nor was he distant or cold.
The two parties just communicated secretly and unhurriedly, and understood each other tacitly.
Li Xiao knew what Hosokawa Fujitaka was planning, so he naturally wanted to wait for the price. Then get a good price.
¡°But this does not hinder the secret deal between Li Xiao and Hosokawa Fujitaka this time.
¡°Otherwise, if Hosokawa Fujitaka hadn¡¯t released the water, it would have been impossible to fight against Ikeda Hengxing even with the help of favorable terrain with Shima Shengmeng¡¯s 3,000 troops. Hosokawa Fujitaka's fierce attack of seven thousand troops has sustained him until now.
But even if Hosokawa Fujitaka was letting the water go, Li Xiao did not dare to take it lightly.
At this time, the second envoy said to Li Xiaoyan: "Reporting to my lord, the Oda family's Kinki army has lifted the siege of Kameyama Castle, the Hatano family's main city. Now Akechi Hidemitsu has led the main force of the army into Wakasa country."
When Li Xiao heard this, his expression changed slightly, and he secretly thought in his heart, Mitsuhide Akechi, as a loyal dog of the Oda family, does not have to go to this level.
Even Tamba Kameyama Castle, which had been conquered for nearly a year, was given up. This city has a history of being wise and bright.
¡° If Akechi Hidemitsu led the main force of the Kinki Army to arrive, and with the powerful military strength of Shima Sheng, Li Xiao would have no hope that he could block this journey for him.
???????????????????? But the matter doesn¡¯t end here, the third place is envoy. Report to Li Xiao: "Mori Nagaka, the reinforcements of the Oda family of Inaba Ittetsu are walking along the northern streets, crossing Omi, arriving in Echizen territory, and moving quickly towards Kitanojo Castle. Half of their reinforcements are in force. They are all mounted regiments.¡±
Li Xiao frowned and asked: "Yukishige Yokotani, what are Yukiyo Yokotani doing?"
Shi Fanhui reported: "All our ninja legions have been dispatched. In the Echizen area, they destroyed all bridges and roads to hinder the progress of the Oda army. They also ambushed the Oda army everywhere, trying to hinder the opponent's speed."
Honda Masanobu said from the side: "My lord, the ninjas are not a regular army after all. The harassment is enough, and a head-on confrontation is not their mission. Don't force Yokoya-sama."
Li Xiao nodded slowly and said, "Yes, I don't mean to be harsh."
Shiban also replied: "My lord, the ninja army has also tried its best, but the Oda family's reinforcements, especially Mori Nagaka's military strength, are simply desperate, regardless of any casualties, and are moving towards Echizen with all their strength."
Li Xiao waved his hand and said: "I understand. I immediately ordered Tsuchiya Masaji to lead Sun and Moon Bei out of the battle. We must intercept Mori Nagako's army halfway and not let him get closer to Kitanosho."
The extent of the approaching reinforcements is secondary, but if the Shibata Army in Kitanojo Castle sees the banner of the Oda Army's reinforcements, their morale will surely rise and they will fight tooth and nail to resist. By then, the difficulty of capturing Kitanojo Castle will be doubled.
Therefore, we must not let any one of the Oda troops get close to Kitanojo Castle.
A siege?
Li Xiao couldn't help but smile slightly, he actually remembered the battle of Yanju City.
At that time, he led more than a thousand troops to defend the isolated city and resist Uesugi Kenshin's 17,000 troops. Finally, Takeda Shingen personally led the reinforcements to arrive, causing Uesugi Kenshin to suffer the final defeat.One block.
At present, the situation is changing, and Li Xiao is unwilling to make the same mistake as Uesugi Kenshin.
But Li Xiao¡¯s current situation is even more dangerous than that of Uesugi Kenshin back then.
Whether it¡¯s Akechi Mitsuhide¡¯s Kinki Corps, or the reinforcements from Mori Nagaka and Inaba Ittetsu, if Oda Nobutada leads the main force of the Oda Army, he will arrive in person.
At that time, if Li Xiao had not conquered Beizhizhuang, the entire army would have been destroyed.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao's face turned livid, and he said aloud: "Send the order and order all legions to put themselves into reserve teams. If possible, they will go into battle."
"There is no need to consider the cost of casualties. I only want Beizhizhuang City, which must be captured within today."
Suddenly, the pressure on Shibata Gunsannomaru increased greatly.
In Beizhizhuang Castle, the original rope design was built in the flat castle style.
Pingcheng is different from a mountain city. For example, Yanju City had only one mountain road to go up the mountain.
The flat design of Beizhizhuang City is like a concentric circle.
The main pill is the innermost one, and the second pill wraps the main pill. This is the third pill, the outer pill.
The outer marquee is made entirely of stone curved wheels and stone walls, but Shibata Katsuie cannot afford to build the other marru to be entirely stone structures.
After retreating from Soimaru, Shibata's army fought and retreated.
Now all the armies of the Takeda Army are out in formation, attacking the four sides of Sannomaru.
On the east side, Hashiba Hidenaga, Jinbo Nagaken, and Uchijima Uri are still leading the attack.
On the north side, there are Otani Yoshitsugi's Kamioka Bei, Toudo Takatora, and the newly invested reserve army, who can take advantage of the situation.
To the west are Maeda Toshiya and Racecourse Changfang.
The south direction is Li Zheng. He personally commanded Huben Bei, and Li Xiao was directly under the military power.
Now the main attack direction of the Takeda Army has been transferred from the east side where the city wall was originally blasted to the north side where the artillery forts are concentrated.
A place on the east side of Sannomaru.
Ijiro leaned against the wall of a collapsed room, breathing heavily.
This half-collapsed house. Apparently it was destroyed by artillery fire from the Takeda Army.
There was a musty smell coming from the room, which was obviously used to store food.
Now Shibata's army's bows, arrows and iron cannons were still shooting down overhead, and Ijiro carefully hid his body.
Ijiro took the bamboo tube next to him. He couldn't help but tremble and drink up the water, but it still spilled all over his body.
Ijiro couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, he still couldn't suppress the tension in his heart, even if he killed a person, he couldn't do it.
Thinking of the samurai who died in his own hands, Ijiro couldn't help but smile bitterly. At this moment, the water choked his throat.
Severe coughs came one after another, and Ijiro felt that he almost coughed out his lungs.
¡°You bastard, do you want to kill yourself?¡±
A deep voice sounded.
Ijiro felt like he was being pulled. An arrow flew close to him, and with a thud, it was inserted in front of him.
Ijiro raised his head and saw that the person who saved his life was none other than the samurai Nojiri.
This Lord Nojiri stared at Ijiro and shouted: "Idiot. Remember your life, now it belongs to me, Lord Nojiri."
Jingjiro nodded vigorously.
"Follow my orders and charge forward!"
Lord Nojiri gave the order.
Jingjiro nodded.
Just waiting to speak. Ijiro saw the Takeda Army dragging a small-caliber large cannon from behind.
Even though it was a large tube with a small caliber, Ijiro was excited when he saw this and waved his fist heavily.
After several large tube ashigaru set up the large tube, the fire door was lit.
Ijiro subconsciously covered his ears and closed his eyes tightly, only hearing a roar.
Ijiro turned his head and looked. The arrow scull located behind the curved wheel collapsed under the power of this cannon. Falling down crookedly.
Several archer ashigaru and iron cannon ashigaru from Shibata's army screamed and fell from the high platform on the arrow scull.
After clearing the barrel, the barrel was filled with a second shell.
After a while, there was another loud bang.
When Ijiro looked again, he saw a large hole in Shibata's army's wooden crank wheel dozens of meters away.
"rush!"
The samurai Nojiri jumped up, and the Takeda Army Ashigaru who were hiding everywhere shouted together and rushed forward.
Not to be outdone, Jingjiro jumped from the earthen forty-five-degree slope toUp, dashing upward.
Ijiro listened to the iron artillery team behind him and fired a round of volleys. This was to cover their entry into the city.
At that moment, Ijiro did not hesitate, jumped up, and shot at the Shibata army soldiers who were hiding behind the curved wheel.
??Atop the arrow scull of Sannomaru in Kitanojo Castle.
The corpses of the Shibata Army soldiers who died in the battle were thickly embedded with several arrow feathers and hung high outside.
The roar of iron cannons, crackling, sounded row after row.
The powder on the stone wall at the top of the city was scattered everywhere.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Baixiang Ieyoshi is standing behind the curved wheel at the top of the city, looking at the Takeda army swarming from all sides, his expression becomes more and more solemn.
After Qu Lun, the wounded soldiers of Baixiang's subordinates were placed. They were all lying on the ground, wailing in pain.
This kind of sound stimulates the nerves of Baixiang Jiajia one after another.
"Uncle, uncle!"
Baixiang Jiajia turned his head and saw a warrior with half of his right arm broken off, limping forward.
This man¡¯s body was stained with blood, and there were several half-broken arrow feathers on his back.
¡°Sanlang, what¡¯s wrong with you?¡±
The visiting Jiajia could not help but say in shock that this person was his only nephew and was entrusted to him by his deceased brother.
The samurai said: "Uncle, up to this point in the battle, more than half of the soldiers have been killed or injured. We have done our best for Shibata-sama. Now it is time to consider our own way out."
"Uncle, Master Toshiie Maeda is a man of promise, so why not just listen to his advice and surrender to Takeda."
