Nobu-kun Anesama came forward and questioned.
"Your Highness, the Uesugi Army's logistics line crosses the Saikawa River and the Chikuma River. We can completely cut off his supply line at the Kawanakajima Plain.
If logistics is disrupted, military morale will be in chaos. "
Takeda Harunobu shook his head and said.
"As long as I stay in the plains of Kawanakajima, Uesugi Teruhora will definitely descend the mountain with all his troops, cross the Chikuma River and go north to fight me.
We have assembled an unprecedented army just to defeat the Echigo samurai family in one fell swoop and make them fear our Koshinobu samurai family from now on.
In this case, why bother trying to deprive yourself of food? Go to Haijin City to gather all your troops and wait for an opportunity to fight hard! "
Anesama Nobu-kun thought about it, and it was indeed so.
The Takeda family has assembled 20,000 soldiers, while the Uesugi family has only 12,000 soldiers. If the two sides fight head-on, there is no reason why the Takeda family will lose.
So she bowed and no longer objected.
Takeda Harunobu looked around the audience and said.
"Let's go, Zhuji. Let's go to the plains of Kawanakajima and embrace our victory!"
"Hi!"
Takeda Harunobu sent troops. She led the army from Chausu Mountain to the north and entered Kawanaka Island from the west.
But to Uesugi Teruhora's surprise, she did not stay on the Kawanakajima Plain and attack the Uesugi Army's logistics station.
Takeda Harunobu directly led his army across the Kawanakajima Plain, crossed the Chikuma River, and joined the defenders of Kaizu Castle.
At this point, the Takeda Army had 20,000 troops in Kaijin Castle and faced off with the 12,000 Uesugi troops at Tsumeyama.
———
Terutora Uesugi was furious on the wife's mountain, and Harunobu Takeda was more cowardly than she imagined.
She originally thought that Takeda Harunobu would first cut off the Uesugi Army's logistics line on the Kawanakajima Plain before making other reactions.
Then, Uesugi Terutora will quickly go down the mountain, cross the river and go north to fight Takeda Harunobu. At the same time, a partial division was dispatched to block the cross-river support of the Haijin City defenders at the ferry.
Who would have known that Takeda Harunobu would slip across the Kawanakajima Plain and directly enter Kaijin Castle to join the defenders without giving her any time or chance.
Now things get interesting.
The logistics line of the Takeda Army in Kaizu Castle passed under the Tsumeyama Mountain and was threatened by the Uesugi Army.
The Uesugi Army's logistics line on the Kawanakajima Plain also passed under the nose of Kaijin Castle.
The two sides faced off against Haijin City at Zimanu Mountain, with neither one willing to move first.
On the mountain of Wife and Daughter, the Uesugi Army's main formation held a military meeting.
Naoe Keizuna questioned.
“Your Highness, Takeda Harunobu did not cut off our logistics, but instead gathered all his forces together.
I always feel that she is not escaping from a decisive battle as we thought before, but rather seems to be concentrating her forces in the hope of a decisive battle. "
The ladies nodded, and Kakizaki Keijia said.
"In this case, why don't we stick to the spot and wait for the Takeda Army in Kaijin City to run out of food without fighting her?"
Murakami Yoshikiyo shook his head.
"This is impossible. There is a large amount of military rations stored in Haijin City, and the lack of food will not shake the morale of the army for a while.
On the contrary, our situation is more dangerous.
On the Wife and Nv Mountain, the running water from the streams is not enough to supply 12,000 people. If they are accidentally besieged, the water shortage will be more serious than the food shortage. "
Uesugi Teruhu nodded and said.
"Calm down, don't be anxious, let's wait for Takeda Harunobu's reaction."
Yoshigan Shiba was nearby and glanced at Terutora Uesugi in disappointment.
Her plan has failed. The logistics line used as a bait was ignored by Takeda Harunobu. The Uesugi army was embarrassed to stay on the wife and daughter mountain, in a dilemma.
At this time, is the Takeda Army in Kaijin City in trouble? Or is it the Uesugi army that is having a hard time with the wind blowing on the mountain? It's obviously the Uesugi Army.
Uesugi Teruhora continued to wait and see, and Shiba Yoshigan couldn't help but feel worried.
———
Yoshigan Shiba never expected that Terutora Uesugi's keen sense of smell would indeed touch the eagerness to try behind Takeda Harunobu's uncharacteristic behavior.
The first person who couldn’t hold back his anger turned out to be Takeda Harunobu!
She gathered 20,000 soldiers and lost some of her former wisdom and calmness. It's no wonder she's restless, the old Takeda family members are all here.
Uesugi Terutora's mobilization power was not inferior to Takeda Harunobu, but she still chose to leave Uesugi Kagenobu to lead part of the army and guard the country.
Therefore, her mind is more stable.
As a fellow daimyo, Terutora Uesugi keenly felt the huge psychological pressure behind Takeda Harunobu's excessive mobilization of 20,000 soldiers.
On the one hand, after overload mobilization, the entire army was left with empty territory outside and was afraid of something happening.
On the other hand, with all the capital here, we can only win, not lose. Failure will be a disaster.
Because Takeda Harunobu has gathered more troops, her strategic determination is worse than that of Uesugi Teruhora, and she hopes to fight Uesugi's army decisively.
However, Uesugi Teruhu could keep his composure, and Uesugi's army occupied Wife and Daughter Mountain, leaving Takeda Harunobu at a loss as to where to start.
Kaijin Castle Castle Tower, Takeda Military Council.
Takeda Harunobu was sitting on the main seat and said with a frown.
"Uesugi Teruhora occupied Tsumabushiyama and remained motionless for several days.
Although it has no impact on our army, the disruption of Qianquchuan's logistics is not a good thing after all. "
Takeda Nobushige looked at his sister in surprise, feeling that she was not as usual and a little restless.
Both sides have gathered tens of thousands of soldiers. This is a rare war in recent years. How can we be so impatient?
It's only been a few days, so it's just a waste of time for Uesugi Teruhu. The Takeda Army eats and drinks well in Kaijin Castle, which is more comfortable than the Uesugi Army in the wind blowing on the mountain.
Just as she was about to say a few words of comfort to her sister, a person came out from behind and bowed. It was Kansuke Yamamoto who had been doing well recently.
Previously, I persuaded Yukitaka Sanada to join the team and captured Toishi Castle. Later, Kaijin Castle was fortified, and the level of construction was extremely high, which was rewarded by Takeda Harunobu, who had just arrived.
Two meritorious services made her appear in front of Takeda Harunobu a lot. Now that the family governor is worried and has an idea in his mind, he naturally wants to speak out to relieve the king's worries.
"What your Highness said is absolutely true. Poor logistics is a taboo for military strategists. I have a plan that can help my lord defeat Uesugi's army."
Takeda Nobushige frowned and gave a veiled warning.
"Uesugi Terutora is a famous general, and the reputation of the Echigo samurai family for their bravery is known throughout Kanto. How can Lord Yamamoto make such an assertion lightly?
What is the strategy to defeat the enemy?
The two armies have more than 30,000 soldiers, and they are all going all out. You have to hold your chin when you speak! "
Yamamoto Kansuke was so embarrassed by her words that he lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.
She has a high status in the Takeda family, is good at building forts, and is highly valued by Takeda Harunobu. But compared to Takeda Nobushige, it is far from enough.
At this time, I was warned by Takeda Nobushige. I felt humiliated and a little nervous, and I didn't dare to say anything anymore.
Takeda Harunobu stretched out his hand to stop Takeda Nobushige's aggressiveness and said gently.
"Yamamoto Hime is an honest person, don't scare her. Since it is a military discussion, you should speak freely.
Yamamoto Hime, just tell me and I can judge whether the countermeasures are appropriate. "
Takeda Nobushige was blocked by his sister's subtle words and kept silent.
She was worried that her subordinates would see her master's anxiety and intended to use rhetorical strategies to attract favors.
Yamamoto Kansuke was not a war general. She said she could defeat Uesugi's army as soon as she opened her mouth, which immediately aroused Takeda Nobushige's disgust.
However, Takeda Harunobu was determined to fight, and she needed an excuse to convince the high-level martial artists sitting here to join her in fighting.
Yamamoto Kansuke showed up and played into her heart, so of course she couldn't let Takeda Nobushige scare her back.
The two sisters had different thoughts, and they both looked at Yamamoto Kansuke, waiting for her strategy to defeat the enemy.
