Ueda Nobukata didn't expect such a situation, but fortunately, he had already arranged for someone to pay attention to Ogasawara's long-term main formation, and when someone came over there, Ueda Nobukata felt that something was wrong.

He immediately asked the Yajima family to pretend to be him, and then his own ashigaru stayed, and the rest were driven away.

Yorimitsu Yajima looked at Nobukata Ueda, who was dressed as Ashigaru, and said, "I'm very sorry, I don't know who revealed the news." ”

Ueda Nobukata had been thinking about this for a long time, and said: "It is estimated that it is the chaos of the Takeda family, and people like Takeda Harunobu have been monitoring the surrounding area of your military formation for a long time.

But what is the purpose of doing this? Ha... Maybe they didn't quite understand what we were doing here, so they just chased us away. ”

Hearing Ueda Nobukata's analysis, Yajima Yorimitsu's face was very ugly.

Ueda Nobukata rubbed his chin and said with a smile: "Yajima, don't worry, now the people of the Takeda family must think that the people of the Murakami family have left."

They will definitely come according to the original plan, arrange for the elite to rest early on the night of the eighteenth, and prepare for an ambush in the early morning of the nineteenth!

Yajima, whether you can restore Suwa-gun or not is up to you! ”

Yorimitsu Yajima said with a dewy eye: "Don't worry, my determination is like Lake Suwa!" ”

As for Yazaki Heizou, Iwasita and the others retreated to the border of the Murakami family, and Ueda Nobukata asked them to be here as a response.

Soon it was July 17th, and on this day, the Takeda family announced their march into Suwa Prefecture, and on the 18th, they secretly arrived at Uehara Castle.

After Ogasawara knew that the Takeda family was marching, he started a military council, and at the military council, he laughed and said, "Hahaha, the Takeda family is not self-sufficient, and they dare to march!"

Everyone, let's embrace victory and drive the Takeda family back to the mountains of Kofu to continue being monkeys! ”

"Oh!"

The retainers of the Ogasawara family were very excited, but the expressions of Yoritsugu Takato and Yorimitsu Yajima, who was a member of the Western Church in Suwa, were a little serious.

Takato Yoriji was in Ogasawara when he was in the main camp, and he had already advised him several times, and the army in this camp was in chaos, and there would be big problems.

But Ogasawara didn't care for a long time and continued to go his own way, which was very worrying about Yoritsugu Takato.

At this moment in Uehara Castle, the Takeda family is making the final arrangements.

Kansuke Yamamoto said: "Set up a position under the Shiojiri Cliff tonight, and launch an assault early tomorrow morning!"

Rice Fuchu, from the Nakasendo to kill; Koyama Tatsuki enters from the Tagawa Cliff; Xin Fanyu entered from the sheng string cliff; The racecourse entered from the small cliffs; The rest of you hold on to your camp.

And the next general will lead his subordinates to attack Shiojiri Cliff as a vanguard! ”

While Kansuke Yamamoto was talking about the arrangement, there was an influx of Suwa people led by Suwa Mangami outside the shogunate.

After Kansuke Yamamoto finished speaking, Suwa Mangami stepped forward and said, "Please wait! ”

Kansuke Yamamoto returned to his maza, and Suwa Mangami stepped forward slowly.

Takeda Harunobu said, "Suwa Temple, what are you doing? ”

Suwa Mangami bowed his head and said, "Forgive me, please ask Takeda Hall to order us and other Suwa people to be the vanguard!" ”

Takeda Harunobu was puzzled: "You are the pioneer?" ”

Nobuyari Oyamada said bluntly: "You are not planning to defect to the enemy!" ”

Suwa Mitsumi said very seriously: "There is no such thing! The enemy is my divine enemy in Suwa! The Great Myojin will definitely punish him.

The owner of the museum, none of the Suwa people who are here suspect that the gods' protection is on our army's side! ”

Harunobu Takeda asked, "Why?" ”

Suwa Mitsumi raised his head, pointed to a flag behind him, and said, "It's because you held that flag high in the hall master's hall!" ”

Harunobu Takeda got up and walked outside, and the rest of the retainers also walked out, and Kansuke Yamamoto came to Harunobu Takeda's side.

Harunobu Takeda saw the banner of "Minami no Suwa...", which was written by Nobubu Itagaki when he first attacked Suwa.

Kansuke Yamamoto said beside Harunobu Takeda, "This is the banner of the Suwa Dharma that has become the symbol of your lordship. ”

Takeda Harunobu looked at the flag, and thought of Itagaki Nobukata in his mind, and his eyes instantly turned red, this was the last gift that Itagaki Nobukata left him.

Pointing to the flag, Suwa Mangashi said, "With this banner, there will be no more rebels in Suwa, and those who will rebel will return."

So please give me the order to be the pioneer! ”

Harunobu Takeda turned his head to look at Kansuke Yamamoto, who nodded.

Harunobu Takeda said, "Okay! I am touched by your determination, so let you be the pioneers! ”

At this moment, Satomi Yuzu, who was following Takeda Harunobu, spoke, "Your Highness, I'm going too!" ”

Originally, many retainers were very dissatisfied with this, but Takeda Harunobu smiled: "Ogasawara has been just a person to die for a long time, so don't worry. ”

Of course, Takeda Harunobu was also afraid of accidents on the battlefield, so he sent more than a dozen flag warriors and hundreds of ashigaru to protect Yuzu Satomi.

In the early morning of July 19th, when the sky was bright, the Suwa people, who were the vanguard, and Satomi Youzu led their troops to attack the Shiojiri position.

On the battlefield, some of the western ashigaru did not form a formation, and they were still sleeping when the enemy army came.

The Takeda vanguard army is like entering a no-man's land, directly entering the core of the position, and it will soon be killed.

Hiding in the shadows, Ueda Nobukata immediately said to Yajima Yorimitsu: "Yajima, it's your turn, remember the previous plan!" ”

Yajima Yorimitsu nodded and led a reserve team to kill it.

Although they are both Suwa people, the two sides are not merciless in killing.

Not long after the battle, Yajima Yorimitsu raised the head of a samurai and shouted angrily: "Chino Yabei has been taken by me, Yajima Yorimitsu!" This is the end of a traitor who defects to the Takeda family! ”

Although Yajima Yorimitsu shouted righteously, he seemed to have forgotten that he had also betrayed Suwa Yorishige.

Chino Yabei was killed in battle, and soon Tsuchiya Nobuyoshi and Imafuku Heizo led the troops into battle.

Kansuke Yamamoto, who was watching the battle in this formation, asked, "My lord, do you want to send an iron cannon team up?" ”

Takeda Harunobu shook his head and said: "The number of our iron cannons is only a few dozen, and I don't know if the other party knows about the iron cannons, let's see the situation." ”

As soon as Takeda Harunobu's voice fell, Yajima Yorimitsu led his troops to retreat while fighting, and Takeda Harunobu and Yamamoto Kansuke unconsciously took two steps forward.

Yajima Yorimitsu resisted desperately, although he bought some time, but he couldn't hold out for long, and immediately led the remaining Ashigaru and samurai to retreat.

When Satomi saw the enemy general retreating, she was overjoyed and shouted, "Sons and daughters of the Takeda family, follow me to pursue the enemy general!" ”

Ueda Nobukata, who was hiding in the shadows, saw the flag of the Takeda family, and found that it was actually a woman running in front of him, wearing a gorgeous red armor, and he suddenly remembered that this was Yuzu Satomi.

"Try to capture the enemy commander alive." Ueda Nobukata whispered to the left and right.
