"My Lord, although the fighting power of Ueno Haozu is poor, the number of iron guns of Takeda army is also amazing." Zhijiang Shigang said modestly to Shangshan.

"The battle of trapped tigers will be a hard battle. Even if our army wins, there will be heavy casualties," said Uesugi Qianxin after pondering for a while and ordered to say: "let the troops of the noble families in Ueno retreat and rest again, and let the Nagano family take over as the second team."

The disturbance of Ueno Haozu football team could not be suppressed for a moment. Although in this era, big names began to equip a large number of iron gun troops, after all, iron guns are only new to most people. There are few warriors in the Ueno Haozu formation. Most of them are newly summoned agricultural soldiers. Naturally, the degree of discipline and persistence is not high.

The dense volley of nearly 100 iron guns by the Takeda army was enough to shock them.

Generally speaking, once the troops in the feudal era bear a casualty rate of more than 10%, their morale will soon disappear and close to the verge of collapse.

When the first attack was frustrated, the Nagano family, as a second team, took on the task of trapping. Because the width of the hillside where the Takeda family was stationed was limited, the Changye army arranged nine square arrays of foot light long guns in Trinity, and the foot light soldiers came to the hillside with guns.

The choice of defense on this hillside was determined in advance by Yamamoto's survey aid. It is to make use of the narrow terrain here, so that the Shangshan Changye coalition, which has a large number of people, can not expand its troops.

At this time, Takeda shenglai's iron artillery team had already filled up ammunition again. In the face of the advance of the Nagano army, it fired two rows of Volley again.

As the smoke from the ammunition dispersed, the head of the iron gun group visually observed the firing results, and the soldiers of the Nagano army in the front row fell down. However, what was better than the previous Ueno Haozu was that the Nagano army remained quite complete in the face of the salvo of iron guns.

"Oh!"

Then the soldiers of the Nagano army put down their long guns and began to attack the Takeda army on the hillside.

Taking advantage of the gap between the loading of the iron artillery team and the arrow baffle, the bow foot light team began to shoot together with arrows. When charging with a light gun foot, he holds a gun with both hands, so he doesn't have any shield that can block arrows. Most of his armor is made of bamboo, which is not as good as the belly roll and carcass pill of a warrior.

So when the arrows came, the foot lighters could only press their heads low, hoping that the array hat wrapped in iron could resist them.

On the ground of Wutian army array, the sound of bow string vibration and the sound of arrow breaking into the air.

The arrow rain made the Nagano army who was climbing a mountain light, and the loss was not small. When Nagano's bow and foot came forward to shoot, because of the angle of the hillside, not only did they not shoot correctly, but most of the arrows were stopped by the arrow blocking board in front of the Takeda army array.

This kind of arrow board is made of bamboo in the center and covered with straw, which can also resist the shooting of iron guns.

The Nagano family braved the arrow rain to advance hard. They had rushed to a position no more than 30 meters away from the Takeda army. At this time, the iron artillery team of the Takeda army completed the second loading, and there were two volleys. Dozens of soldiers of the Nagano army who were shot fell down the mountain.

After completing two firing missions, the iron artillery team retreated directly from both sides of the dug trench to the rear of the array. The trenches in front of the array become two trenches that block the advance of the enemy.

Seeing such heavy casualties to the Nagano army, Takeda shenglai said to Li Xiao with a happy face: "Li Xiao, the trenches you designed are really clever. In the future, our Takeda army must dig these two trenches in the front of the military array."

Li Xiaowei smiled. Such trenches are pretty good for defense. If they attack, they will block their own people.

"Your Highness shenglai, don't worry. The good play is still ahead."

At this time, the Shangye haos at the foot of the mountain have integrated the scattered foot light people, rearranged into an array, and followed the Changye army to kill up the mountain.

The Nagano army, which was shot by iron guns with a little sign of defeat, was scolded by the head of the foot light group and continued to kill the Takeda army on the hillside. When jumping the first heavy trench, more than a dozen people had an unstable foothold and fell into the trench. Then they climbed up from the trench and trampled on the subsequent light feet jumping from their head.

Just as the Nagano army was about to cross the second ditch, Li Xiao suddenly ordered to remove the arrow guard. Then fifteen or six bamboo cages, about one person tall, made of bamboo vines, were pushed out by their feet. The bamboo cages were soaked in oil, then lit with fire, burned into a big fireball, and then pushed down the hillside.

When many Nagano were ready to climb the second trench, what they saw was the scene of more than a dozen fireballs rolling down the mountain.

"Ah!"

Many feet screamed. Their hands and feet were stained with fireballs. They immediately caught fire and rolled on the ground to put out the fire. More people ran around to avoid it.

Just as the Nagano family took refuge, more than a dozen such "fireballs" rolled down the mountain. For a while, the Nagano army was in chaos. In the rear of the Takeda army formation, the Takeda iron gun team, which had finished filling in the guns, stood in three rows. Nearly 100 iron guns aimed at the busy Nagano army and came to the third round of volley.

Boom!

Dozens of Nagano families rolled down the mountain.

At this time, the senior general who commanded the foot light of the Nagano army, even if the command was higher, there was no way at the moment. The foot light team of the Nagano army had fallen into a chaotic situation.

"You can get the gun foot light team ready."

Li Xiao was very satisfied with the tactics he designed. The Baoke brothers, Suwa's visit to Lai Zhong, Suwa's visit to Lai Feng, and even Changxing Zhentian, who is famous for his resourcefulness, were deterred by the endless stream of wonderful ideas of Li Xiao.

There are too many ways for Li Xiao. People think so from the bottom of their hearts.

Takeda shenglai obeyed Li Xiao's suggestion and ordered Bao Ke Zhengjun's gun foot light array, while the bow foot light people came forward and pushed the arrow baffle to the ditch, which was laid as a bridge.

"The gun foot light team came out."

The 500 soldiers of Takeda shenglai team had been waiting for a long time. They shouted and hid from the hillside.

The Nagano army, which was in chaos, reluctantly reorganized its formation, but as soon as it came into contact, it was dashed by Takeda shenglai's gun foot light team, and there were Nagano family foot light running around all over the mountains and fields.

There are also people in the Nagano army who dare to fight and want to try their best to get back to this situation. For example, the 16 guns in the Ueno family, the head of the foot light group, the foot light generals, and the senior generals killed the Takeda army one after another. However, in the face of the three gun formations in the front line of the Takeda army, the stubborn resistance of these people only set off a slight wave, and then was crushed.

Many foot light generals in Nagano were asked to die. Takayama manzhong and baicangzuo weimen Zongren were killed on the spot!

The Nagano family, known as the first Haozu in the West Ueno, was thus defeated. The routed troops even spread to the military array of the Ueno Haozu in the rear, and then the military array of the Ueno Haozu was torn apart and collapsed without fighting.

"Blow the conch and stop the troops." Li Xiaowei said with a smile.

"But our army is pursuing and capturing the enemy's head." Takeda shenglai hesitated.

Shinda Changxing shook his head and stretched out his hand to the 5000 troops of Shangshan family still waiting on the opposite mountain: "Lord Li Xiao is right. Huihu's own army has not taken action. If our army continues to pursue, if it is surrounded and cut off by the other army, it will fall into a tight encirclement."

"Damn it, if it weren't for the dragon of the empress of Vietnam, today we Takeda shenglai would defeat the three thousand troops of the field army with 800 people." Takeda shenglai said in a somewhat depressed way.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "our army has killed the enemy for a while with the potential of only a few hundred troops, which is enough to dampen shangshanhuihu's spirit. Why should we be anxious, your highness shenglai."

Shangshan army is in this array.

Looking at the defeated Ueno coalition army, Uesugi Qianxin suddenly stood up from the Maza. The general waved to Takeda's army and said, "order shizaki Jingjia, Sebu Shengchang, Saito Chaoxin to go out."
