On the night of September 9, Li Xiao crossed qianquchuan with the 8000 troops of the headquarters of Takeda army and set up his own array in bafanyuan. In the middle of the night, bafanyuan gradually fogged.

Knowing that the war was coming, Li Xiao didn't want to sleep. He leaned in front of the tent door, put the gun across his knees, wiped the Taidao in his hand, and looked into the depths of the distance. Just a few hours later, the wolf like army of Shangshan family will appear in the thick fog and launch a fierce attack on the array of Takeda family.

Li Xiao did not expect that he would participate in the first battle after he came to the Warring States period. Well, in the words of that time, it was the first battle, that is, the bloodiest battle in the history of the Warring States period. That's great luck.

The moon is in the sky. It must be at this time that the army of Shangshan family has crossed in the rain palace, crossing the qianquchuan river like silver frost.

In this scene, Lai Shanyang, a poet in the Edo period, used the word "crossing the river at night with the sound of whip" to describe the scene of Shangshan Qianxin crossing the river at this time.

Li Xiao can't change this trend. He is still too weak as a butterfly that stirs history. At present, he can only do how to save his life in tomorrow's bitter battle.

Thirteen thousand to eight thousand, the situation is not optimistic.

In the Wutian family's own array, campfires were lit everywhere. Except for the sentinel foot light soldiers, after the trek in the middle of the night, most people fell asleep. Li Xiao recalled that the Takeda soldiers with common names such as Shinjiro and hirasaro were sleeping in their clothes. Many people had no tents and slept in the open air.

As soldiers of the Takeda family, most of them are not in the battle for the first time. Xinxuan's invasion and attack of Xinnong over the past ten years has built the Takeda army into an elite who has experienced hundreds of battles.

September 10, 7 a.m. The fog on Bafan plain is getting thicker and thicker. In front of Li Xiao's field of vision, the visibility is no more than 20 meters.

But at this time, the cold wind blowing from the northeast is getting stronger and stronger. According to the saying that the wind blows and the fog disperses, the heavy fog covering the sky and the earth will soon disperse. At present, it is still quiet in the early morning. Only the strong wind blows around every soldier of the Takeda army. The "Liyin" behind his pocket and the sound of the flag and fingers on his back are still noisy, and occasionally mixed with the neighing of a war horse or two.

At this time, the soldiers of the Takeda family were eating breakfast. After more than ten days, Li Xiao also integrated into the life of the warriors. Like every soldier, he poured the water in the bamboo tube into the dry rice and sprinkled sesame and salt. This is a fast food method in wartime. It is fast and simple. It can deal with sudden war at any time.

At this time, the three riding centipedes passed through the front of the array of Takeda Xinfan, and went straight to the array. One of them was still carrying arrows behind his back. Many soldiers under Xin fan's command saw this scene. They hurriedly dropped their rice balls, took their guns and stood up.

Some people guessed from the bottom of their hearts that the Rangers had come into contact with the Vietnamese rear army so soon. After a while, Li Xiao could see from a distance that from the position of Takeda Xinxuan's array, the centipede galloped out and scattered in all directions.

A centipede galloped to Takeda Xinfan and pointed forward with a gun bar in his hand.

"Lord, please believe fan Gong to prepare for the war. The Vietnamese army is right ahead!"

The camp of Takeda army was surrounded by earth barricades. There are many fences on the accessible roads, and outside the roads are mostly hastily harvested rice fields or open wasteland, which is the grass for farmers to compost.

Except for a few low-lying and ponding places, it is very suitable for large regiments.

After receiving the order to prepare for the war, each square array of the Takeda army began to move, the movement of military horses, the footsteps of soldiers, and they arranged according to the enemy's position arranged in advance.

Vaguely, the soldiers of Takeda's family could hear the murmur like the rising tide in the fog ahead. In the heavy fog, people can also be seen shuttling back and forth.

Suddenly, the southeast wind suddenly turned strong, and the thick fog in front of the soldiers of Takeda was completely dispersed, just like the window screen was rolled up. Li Xiao clearly saw that countless soldiers in black clothes and armor in front of him were slowly advancing towards the Wutian army array like a black line.

On the two flags with black characters on a white background standing in the array, although he could not see clearly, Li Xiao knew that on one of the flags was a "dragon" written in traditional Chinese, and the other was a "Pi" flag. And below the flag is the dragon of Yue Hou, Shangshan Qianxin.

The sudden appearance of the Vietnamese rear army and its solemn military appearance shocked the officers and soldiers of the Takeda army.

Now in front of the array of the Takeda army is the iron artillery team that Xinxuan spent a lot of money. At present, the iron artillery team of more than 100 people in the Takeda family stood in a line and raised their guns on their knees.

As the forward of the Vietnamese rear army entered the range of the iron gun, the head of the iron gun group waved down the Taidao in his hand and roared, "anate."

Flames erupted from the muzzle of the iron gun. The Vietnamese rear army formed a neat array of soldiers, and many soldiers immediately fell to the ground.

Like the sound of thunderous iron cannon, it echoed over bafanyuan, which was also a warning signal sent by Takeda Xinxuan to the detachment of wife and daughter mountain.

Takeda junben array crisis!

Oh!

After being attacked by iron guns, the Vietnamese rear army shouted in unison. The foot light soldiers in the front row hung down the gun head standing above like a dense forest, held the gun in their hands, and accelerated their steps towards the wudian army array.

The bloody reality scene in front of him made Li Xiao's heart beat like a big drum.

Takeda Xinfan has been in battle for a long time and is very confident that even his two sons are calm. Seeing this, Li Xiao immediately relaxed a lot.

At this time, the iron artillery team in front of the array finished loading again and opened fire on the Vietnamese rear army for the second time.

The distance was close, and the lethality was much greater. More Vietnamese soldiers fell on the road of impact.

Li Xiao saw that Wutian army's iron gun foot was light. It was obviously skilled in loading, and several breaths had been completed. According to the records at that time, the skilled iron gun foot could shoot three to four shots in one minute. Later generations imitated it, and it could also reach the speed of one shot in 18 seconds.

Of course, the iron gun tactics of the Takeda army are still the old-fashioned single row volley.

It was during the nearly ten years of war with the original wish temple that shinchang Zhitian, the iron gun master who shocked Japan in the future, learned lessons and trained the iron gun method of "three-stage attack", which was then used in the mature war with the Takeda family.

Then the iron artillery team of the Takeda army will retreat to the rear of the array, and the following is ready to let the foot light soldiers come forward to meet the rear Vietnamese army.

Seeing this, Li Xiao suddenly remembered another famous iron gun battle method, so he rode to Takeda Xinfan and said so. Although Takeda Xinfan didn't know what Li Xiao meant, he was convinced of his ability and nodded to do it.

The battle between the Vietnamese rear army and the foot light soldiers of the Takeda army began.

The head of the foot light group of the two armies, composed of low-level warriors, commanded the foot light soldiers composed of agricultural soldiers to move forward in a Taoist wall. Many peasant soldiers in the early war were so frightened that their legs softened, and the foot light group began to scold and waved the Taidao in their hands to cut.

In addition to driving his men to fight, these low-level warriors are the backbone of the battle. The warriors of both armies will fight with each other's warriors. Generally, the victory or defeat of a battle is also determined by the casualty ratio of low-level warriors on both sides.

Purely in terms of fighting, neither small soldiers nor individual brave generals can control the overall situation of the whole battlefield.

The Vietnamese rear army in front had black helmets and black armor, and arranged in an emergency array. They killed the Takeda army in Takeda Xinfan's square array. The Vietnamese rear army in the front is estimated to be about 15600, while Takeda Xinfan's side is only 700.

Next to Li Xiao, Takeda Xinfan closed his lips and suddenly said, "the banner of the enemy in front is shizaki Jingjia, the senior general of the Vietnam rear army. You can't shrink back and fight with me."

Takeda soldiers around agreed.

Li Xiao has heard of the reputation of shizaki Jingjia. He is the first general under Shangshan Qianxin. He is known as "no one is invincible in the seven counties after Vietnam".

Li Xiao saw the other party wearing black leather armor, straddling a dark horse, holding a four foot long black spike long handle gun. The sickle shaped "front stand" on the iconic helmet glittered in the morning light.

This eye-catching dress seems to want all the enemies on the battlefield. I don't know he is shizaki King's family. Li Xiao smiled bitterly to himself. If he had known to cross, he would have taken an AK and shot shizaki Jing's house directly at this distance, saving so much trouble.

But if it were an iron gun, Li Xiao would not have any illusions at this distance and with the hit accuracy of the iron gun in this era.

Li Xiaochang sighed and felt very sorry, while Takeda Xinfeng thought that Li Xiao hesitated about the strong military potential of the Vietnamese rear army.

At this time, shizaki Jingjia pointed at the tip of his gun, and his warriors rushed with him. He pointed directly at Takeda Xinfan in order to win the head of the second figure of Takeda family.
