Takasaka Masanobu and Baba Nobuharu were the bannermen of Takeda Harunobu. Their status in the Kai samurai family was not high, and they only had their current status thanks to the promotion of the family governor.
The direct ministers who came from the Hatamoto clan and Takeda Harunobu were both prosperous and devastated. They are the group of people who are most concerned about the safety of the family governor and are eager to return to save the Lord.
Yukitaka Sanada opened the Beishin portal for the Takeda family and had an sworn feud with Murakami Yoshikiyo. It is absolutely impossible for her to defect to Uesugi Teruatora's side, and she is trustworthy for the time being.
Takasaka Masanobu agreed.
“Then please leave it to Sanada-sama.
You stay with your own troops, and I will allocate some troops for you from among the Shinano people to make up an army of 2,000 men.
Our army will return to support quickly. You must stick to the Uesugi army on the other side and not let it affect our return. "
"Hi!"
Yukitaka Sanada bowed cautiously.
Although there are only a thousand people on the other side, there are enough disgusting people.
Whether it is to follow and harass through the Twelve Seguchi, or to go directly to Nemoseguchi to block it, it can give Takeda ambush a headache.
Only by leaving behind twice the opponent's military strength and holding the opponent tightly can the army escape.
After things were arranged, Takeda's ambush was no longer delayed. Ten thousand troops marched along the Chikuma River and headed straight for Nemoseguchi, preparing to cross the river to Hachimanhara.
———
Naoe Keizuna sighed on the other side and looked up at the sun. She had bought a lot of time, but it was still not enough.
The Takeda Army is not a weak force, and half a morning is too little time.
Not to mention that Takeda Harunobu had 8,000 elites in Hachimangahara. Even if he had 8,000 pigs, he would not be able to catch them all in half a morning.
Naoe Keizuna ordered.
"The whole army withdrew from the river beach and moved north. I personally commanded the palace reserve.
An envoy was sent to inform Her Highness that Takeda's ambush troops had turned around and asked her to be careful. "
Naoe Keizuna will not go to Hachimanhara, Uesugi Teruhora has already told him.
If the Takeda ambush wakes up and turns around, Naoe Keizuna's army will return directly north to Saikawa to guard the Uesugi army's retreat and ensure that the Saikawa ferry where the army retreats is in the hands of the Uesugi army.
———
Sanada Yukitaka saw Naoe Keizuna retreating and ordered the army to cross the river and follow slowly. She doesn't need to fight with the opponent impatiently to avoid traps.
The current situation is murky and unclear, and if you do too much, you will make many mistakes. As long as you do your own thing well, it is a great achievement.
Her mission is to ensure that the Uesugi troops on the opposite side do not go to Nemaseguchi and harass Takeda's ambush troops to return for reinforcements.
Uesugi's blocking force did not continue to move eastward along the Chikuma River, but returned northward.
Yukitaka Sanada followed for a while, and after ensuring that the opponent would not kill him, he turned his army and moved closer to Takeda's ambush at Nekoseguchi.
———
Hachimanhara, Uesugi main formation.
Uesugi Teruhu was stunned for a moment. She was excited and was about to defeat Takeda Harunobu in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, Yoshigan Shiba vetoed her proposal.
She is true to her word in the Uesugi Army, and the only one who can stop her actions is Yoshigami.
First, as a woman, there is nothing you can do about the man you like, just one word: lick. Uesugi Teruhu prefers to communicate rather than force Yoshihiro to obey military orders.
Secondly, the Shiba family is her most important partner in the Kanto strategy. Shiba Yoshigan's identity as a royal court is also an important bargaining chip in the strategy. Uesugi Teruhu must respect his opinion.
she said.
"Do you have any idea?"
Yoshigami pointed in the direction of Takeda Harunobu's main formation and said.
"There is an elite force hidden behind her formation, which has not been used, just waiting for your charge."
Teru Uesugi was stunned and asked.
"how do you know?"
Sibo Yiyin glanced at her and said.
"intuition."
Teruhora Uesugi smiled bitterly, "This is using my opening remarks from last night to block my mouth."
Yiyin really didn't know how to explain it clearly to her. It couldn't be said that it was discovered by a cheat, right?
he explained reluctantly.
“Takeda Harunobu took his grandson as his teacher, and as Sun Tzu said, know yourself and your enemy.
It's impossible that she doesn't know your nature, and she will definitely be on guard against you leading the elite charge of our formation. "
This reason is a very intuitive explanation. Uesugi Teruhu looked at Takeda Harunobu's main formation and suddenly felt it made sense.
But she was so charming that she ruffled her hair, smiled heroically, and said.
"So what? If I want to fuck her, I will do it even if she has thousands of troops at my disposal!"
She shouted out the declaration with high spirits, causing the surrounding Hatamoto to shout in agreement. Turning his head, Uesugi Teruhora whispered to Yoshigan.
"I think what you said is right, but we have no choice.
Only by marching forward bravely and defeating Takeda Harunobu's main formation can this battle be considered perfect. The time left for us is running out. "
Teruhora Uesugi pointed to the sky, and Yoshigan looked up and saw that the sun had already passed half the morning.
Uesugi Teruhu continued.
"Saito Asanobu's roving army cannot block Takeda's left wing for long, and soon the Takeda army there will fill the battlefield.
Some of these people have already entered the battlefield, lying across the gap between Takeda's right wing and the main formation.
If another two to three thousand Takeda troops were added to the battlefield, it would be absolutely impossible for us to kill Takeda Harunobu before Takeda's ambush troops returned to support.
Until then, we will be passive. "
Shiba Yiyin nodded.
The palace army led by Maori Jinghiro is responsible for guarding the retreat, protecting the army from the battlefield and not entering the battlefield.
Naoe Keizuna will also withdraw to Saikawa after Takeda's ambush awakens, leaving a way for the army to retreat.
Excluding these troops, the Uesugi army on the battlefield was actually about the same number as Takeda Harunobu's 8,000 troops, not much different.
The Uesugi Army took the lead and attacked the scattered lines of the Takeda Army with a complete military formation, giving them their current advantage.
Once the Takeda Army enters the battlefield one after another and the ambush troops in the distance return to support, the Takeda Army, which has a huge numerical advantage, will move back into the situation.
And because of the eager attack of the Uesugi army, there was a lack of reserves. After the arrival of Takeda reinforcements, the Uesugi army has a high probability of defeat.
Terutora Uesugi seems to have wisdom in her hands, but she actually knows it very well.
Only by breaking through Takeda Harunobu's main formation when Takeda's left wing has not been put into the battlefield and reinforcements are still missing can the best results be obtained.
She was full of confidence in front of her subordinates, but she whispered to convince Shiba Yiyin to fight, which was already a great respect for him.
Don’t miss the opportunity!
In addition to the elite Nagao Sect of Sugi Teruhora, plus Shiba Yoshigan's Doshin Sect and Yutai people, these Ji Samurai totaled four to five hundred people.
As long as these Hime warriors are quickly thrown into the battlefield and decisively crush the main formation that Takeda Harunobu is struggling to support, the core of the Takeda army's defense line will be broken.
Shiba Yiyin understood what she meant, but could not support her in doing so for two reasons.
First, the Nagao Ichimon clan was the cornerstone of Uesugi Teruhora's rule in Echigo.
For this charge, Uesugi Teruhu gathered most of the Longtails and prepared to attack Takeda Harunobu's main formation.
The system has clearly shown that Takeda Harunobu has a backup plan.
Even with Uesugi Terutora's elite force, it would still be a miserable victory, and the Nagao clan would surely suffer heavy casualties.
Without the Nagao people as the backbone, how will Uesugi Teruhora control Echigo in the future? She must distribute more benefits to the Echigo samurai family in order to ensure that she can exercise power.
This is a huge hidden danger that will affect the smooth progress of the Kanto strategy.
The two armies of Uesugi and Takeda clashed. Uesugi Terutora's strategic intention was to dispel Takeda Harunobu's idea of marching north and protect Echigo's heartland, rather than fight with her to lose all his capital.
Secondly, Tongxinzhong and the Yutai people make up most of Yiyin's military strength in Kanto. Except for Shima Shengmeng's troops, he only has this little capital in Kanto.
According to Uesugi Terutora's fighting method, a bloody battle with the Takeda family's elite, half of them dead is considered a good outcome, leaving countless disabled.
In one battle, half of his capital for the Kanto strategy was wiped out?
The most important thing is that the Kanto strategy has not even started yet, but it’s all finished in Shinano!
are you crazy!
