Sanada Yutaka returned to Maeyama Castle and talked to Ueda Nobukata about his communication with Soki Masatomo and Koyamada Nobu.

After listening to this, Ueda Nobukata smiled and said: "It's really a lucky thing, I can deceive the ears and eyes of several important ministers of the Takeda family, hahaha, such a big event can be expected!" ”

Sanada Yutaka continued: "My lord, in the coming days, we should also move.

It is best to put up a battle with the Takeda family tomorrow, so that the enemy can be tricked. ”

Ueda Nobukata thought about it carefully, and yes, he only started to adjust it today, and the next day he said that my side was done, you hurry up, this is not an obvious way to tell others to come to the bowl.

And Sanada Yutaka did the opposite, that is, to drag it first, making you suspicious, I don't know if the adjustment was successful.

Then there was a battle the next day, showing the strength of Ueda Nobukata's side, and the more the Takeda family lost more, the more they expected Sanada Yutaka to betray Ueda Nobukata.

Ueda Nobukata was greatly amazed by Sanada Yutaka's strategy, and said: "I understand, don't worry, I will beat the Takeda family hard tomorrow!" ”

He made a plan with Sanada Yutaka on his side, and then sent someone to tell Kakizaki Keike and Musashi Hidetsuna.

Sanada Yutaka also has to communicate with his own family.

Early the next morning, the former mountain castle began to move, and the various armies began to assemble.

Ueda Nobukata appeared with a loudspeaker made of iron sheets, doing pre-war mobilization.

Most of his army members are Saku, and they were bullied by the Takeda family in the past few years, so when Ueda Nobukata was mobilized, most of them were emotional.

Kakizaki Keijia nodded again and again, and Musashi Hidetsuna also felt that the morale was available.

Don't look at Musashi Hidetsuna is a sword master, but he uses more long-handled weapons such as spears and ten-character guns on the battlefield, so Musashi Hidetsuna's martial arts on the battlefield must be mediocre.

Of course, Musashi Hidetsuna is still young now, and it is not yet the time for him to be highly skilled.

After all, when the sword hero general Ashikaga Yoshiteru was besieged, he killed dozens of people by himself, which is enough to see that the swordsmanship of the sword saint can also make up for some defects.

After mobilizing the army, Ueda Nobukata left a few hundred men to defend the city, and then led the rest of the army out of the city.

Nozawa Castle's side has also been prepared for a long time, and Iitomi Huchang and Iitomi Genshiro led the troops out of battle.

Ueda Nobukata sent 2,000 troops to the headquarters here, and he himself led a reserve team with his own soldiers, followed by a reserve team from Ryu Iwashita, a reserve team from Kenra Kamizu, and a reserve team from Nobukatsu Higashino.

There was also a reserve led by Katsunao Yuzu as a reserve and waiting for military orders, while Yazaki Heizo led the Iron Artillery Team to follow Ueda Nobukata's actions.

As for the cavalry troops, they were mainly led by Kakizaki Keike and his retainers, and the Ueno cavalry led by Musashi Hidetsuna was temporarily under the command of Kakizaki Keijia.

The formation of the two sides is also very ordinary, Ueda Nobukata is a triangular formation, with cavalry on both sides, and the Takeda family has four reserves on the side, and the cavalry is also on both sides.

With the order of Ueda Nobukata, the war drums were beaten, the conch was blown, and the war officially broke out.

Ueda Nobukata commanded the troops to move forward and shouted loudly to his subordinates: "Pay attention to the pace, one-two-one!" ”

"The whole army must not be thrown into chaos!"

"All departments shout passwords, unify the pace of ashigaru!"

As the military order spread rapidly, the lower-level samurai of each reserve immediately shouted "one-two-one", and the trained ashigaru immediately corrected their steps with the voice, and slowly the complicated footsteps became unified, and the military formation quickly became neat.

Ueda Nobukata rode a horse and was led by the samurai of Hachimoto beside him, so he could see the changes in his military formation, especially the flag fingers, which could help Ueda Nobukata quickly understand the changes in the situation.

Seeing the military formation neatly organized, he was very happy in his heart, and it was not in vain that he spent so much money to cultivate these ashigaru.

Although the Takeda family's military formation on the opposite side was relatively neat, they were still a little chaotic, after all, their training military methods were different from those of Ueda Nobukata.

Fan Fu Huchang had a big headache, he knew that today was a tough battle, but he was not afraid of a tough battle.

As the two armies entered the range of bows and arrows, the two sides immediately fired bows and arrows at each other, and Ueda Nobukata also dismounted, picked up a wooden pole to block the arrows, and also shouted that Yazaki Heizou led the iron artillery team forward.

Soon, when the two sides were thirty paces apart, there was also an iron cannon on the Takeda family's side, and the Takeda family's twenty iron cannons were fired together, while the Ueda family's side fired in three waves.

Although it was a thirty-step line and shot, Ueda Nobukata's side repelled the iron artillery team on the Takeda family's side with three consecutive blows.

Ueda Nobukata immediately shouted, "Sons! Assault! ”

Genicshiro Iitomi immediately shouted, "Attack! ”

The reserves of the two sides soon attacked each other, the battlefield flags fluttered, and Sanada Yutaka could see from the castle tower, and the Takeda army and the Ueda army were fighting like two parallel lines.

Around the main battlefield, the cavalry of both sides were moving around each other, shooting on horse, preparing to cross behind the opposing ashigaru reserve to attack.

However, the cavalry on both sides was very elite and did not bargain for a while.

Seeing that there was no way to go on like this, Iitomi Huchang immediately led his Chibei to directly attack the place where Kakizaki Jing's house was.

When Kakizaki Keika saw that the enemy was coming to him, he was also very excited, and immediately called for the cavalry around him to charge with him.

In this way, two streams of iron, one white and one red, collided together, creating a different kind of spark.

The two sides were evenly matched, and they fought until the reserves of both sides were engaged in the battle before retreating.

Both sides suffered great losses in this battle, and the samurai, who were the backbone of the battle, suffered more than 90 casualties, so it can be said that they could not fight anymore.

According to the statistics of the military eye, more than 10 samurai were killed and more than 20 were wounded, and nearly 300 ashigaru casualties were killed or wounded. More than 10 percent of these casualties were lost.

As for the more than 1,000 cavalry of Echigo Ueno, there were also forty or fifty casualties.

The Takeda family suffered more casualties than the Ueda family, killing and wounding more than 100 people.

Today's battle gave Koyamada Nobuyu a headache, and he was even more concerned about whether Sanada Yutaka betrayed Ueda Nobukata.

However, the former mountain castle was heavily guarded, and the ninja couldn't enter at all, so he could only continue to wait.

And Iitomi Huchang also sighed: "Ueda Nobukata is really a capable person, and it was an eye-opener for me to see it today, his army is much stronger than ordinary wealthy families." ”

Oyamada Nobuyi frowned and said: "With the blessing of cavalry in the field battle, it is on par with our army, if our army storms the former mountain castle, it will only lose more, or even be defeated." ”

Fan Fu Huchang nodded approvingly.

Oyamada Shinyu said again: "It depends on what kind of decision Yutaka makes and I hope there will be a better result." ”

Veterans like Iitomi Huchang generally don't like to put their hopes on others, but now the situation depends on Sanada Yutaka's choice.
