Suwa, Uehara Castle.

At this time, the news that Harunobu Takeda and Yoritsugu Takato had joined forces to attack Suwa had reached Uehara Castle, which made Suwa Yorishige, who had always regarded himself as the chief of Shinano Province, suddenly angry.

"Damn! Harunobu is doing what this guy is doing with me. Suwa Yorishige in Uehara Castle said indignantly at Takeda Harunobu's invasion: "I'm Suwa Yorishige who protects the Great Myojin of Suwa!" I'm a god! ”

"Listen up!"

After venting fiercely, Suwa Yorishige instructed the important minister Chida Keiaki in a slightly slower tone: "You go and tell the soldiers who are afraid of the Takeda army right away that Harunobu is not as good as his father Shintora. ”

"Yes." Chida Keiaki immediately leaned over to receive the order.

"Since they dare to attack our Uehara City, then we have to give them some color and take a look!"

Hearing this, Chida Keimei hurriedly asked Suwa Yorishige for instructions: "So do we adopt the tactics of defending the city?" ”

"No need to defend the city!"

Unexpectedly, Suwa Yori didn't want to think about it, so he vetoed his proposal. "In the face of a yellow-mouthed child like Qingxin, how can he cower in the city and let him laugh in vain."

"Report!" At this time, a spy rushed in and reported: "The enemy army has crossed the border of Suwa and is coming to Uehara Castle. ”

"What!" The faces of Suwa Yorishige and Chida Keiaki in the house suddenly changed greatly, and Chida Keimei asked in disbelief: "Are you talking about Takeda Army?" ”

However, the spy immediately denied it: "No, it's not! The enemy is from the city of Gofar. ”

"Where's the number of people?"

"About a thousand!"

"Damn Lai Ji!" Yorishige Suwa, who has been in dispute with the Takato family for three generations, immediately understood what was going on.

"As a split family, Lai Ji must have been bewitched by Takeda Harunobu and really wants to face our sword soldiers, this damn traitor." In a fit of rage, Suwa Yorishige stood up and looked furious, so angry that the spy who had reported the report trembled and couldn't speak.

At this time, another important minister of Suwa, Chino Minamimeian, also rushed over to report the military situation: "Report to the lord, there is a group of men and horses moving near the southern valley of Suwa, I'm afraid it's the army of Takeda!" ”

"What!" Hearing this, Chida Jingming immediately asked in disbelief: "Could it be that even the Southern Valley Party has betrayed the family?" ”

Seeing that Chino Nanmeian was suspicious, Chida Jingming explained to him: "The 1,000 men and horses of the Gao Yuan Army have also betrayed us. ”

"What! Takato Yoriji, he actually ...... "As soon as these words came out, even the long-time battle-hardened Chino Minamimeian couldn't help but be a little worried, and the successive betrayals of his subordinates made the Suwa family, who was already weaker than Takeda, even worse.

"Don't be afraid of this betrayer!" Faced with the worries of his retainers, Suwa Yorishige swore fiercely: "I will definitely make him regret it." ”......

On the other side, somewhere in the mountains of Suwa.

Gensuke, Heizo and Hehei Wusan, who followed the army on the expedition, were hunting in the mountains in their free time, after all, the military rations that were not issued during the war at this time were simply starving to death. However, the Wa country has always forbidden the eating of beasts, so a few people only have the idea of fighting some birds and birds.

At this moment, Heizo and Gensuke happened to find a big bird hiding in a tree, and the two of them quickly leaned in, and Heizo even took out a circle of stones and smashed it hard at the big bird. However, only a "bang" was heard, and Pingwu, who was drinking water by the stream, was knocked unconscious.

"Where are you going to throw it, you idiot?"

"Oh~~~, Heiwu, are you okay?" Gensuke on the side saw it and shouted, and rushed forward.

"Why do I always lose my first shot?" Heisan behind him was puzzled, and naturally said a word to himself, and followed.

"Hey, cheer up." As soon as Gensuke rushed to Heigo's side, he slapped his face with his hand and tried to wake him up, but it still didn't help after a long time.

This was immediately frightened, and Gensuke hurriedly asked Heisan, "Hey, Heisan, Heigo won't die, right?"

But Heisan smiled without worrying at all: "How can he die, his head is as hard as a stone!"

"Hey, Pingwu, get up!" Saying that, Ping San slammed Ping Wu with his fist, and sure enough, Ping Wu woke up and scolded him.

"Do you know it hurts! It hurts!"

At this time, there was a sound of birdsong from not far away, and Gensuke saw that Heisan was nothing, so he hurriedly raised his bow and dived over.

This time, Gensuke didn't miss, and with a "whoosh~~~" sound, a big bird weighing more than ten pounds shot down.

"If you don't kill with one move, you won't be able to save your life." Gensuke, who shot the big bird, said proudly to Heizo and Heigo, who came up.

After that, Gensuke and Heizo, who had defeated the big bird, suddenly changed their minds, and they decided to sacrifice the big bird to the lord Takeda Harunobu in exchange for his favor.

The Takeda Army's main formation.

Takeda Harunobu praised while tasting the bird meat offered by the three of them: "Well~~~, it's delicious, it's really delicious." ”

The few people who were immediately appreciated soon couldn't sit still, but they laughed in front of everyone in the military tent.

"Well, it's really rude, don't step down quickly." At this time, the superior of the three, Iifu Huchang, finally couldn't stand it, and hurriedly retired with Takeda Harunobu and pulled a few people down.

After that, after the three people who offered the bird retired, Takeda Harunobu and the others got down to business.

"So, my lord." Ashigaru General Ganli Hutai suddenly said to Takeda Harunobu with some concern: "Although Takato Yoritsugu promised to give us reinforcements, we are now slowly approaching Suwa. If the Takato army doesn't wait for us to attack Suwa directly, then what should we do? We should attack as soon as possible! ”

"There's no need to rush!" Takeda Harunobu said while leisurely eating bird meat: "We just need to wait and see the lofty actions and slowly follow behind." ”

Saying that, Takeda Harunobu pointed to the map and said, "The Gao Yuan Army, the Southern Valley One Party, and then us, attack from three sides at the same time. ”

"But if you attack from three sides, Suwa will definitely adopt the tactics of defending the city!" Gan Li Hutai said with some embarrassment: "The terrain of Uehara City is dangerous, and if it is a siege battle, it will become very difficult. ”

"Then we won't let them defend the city." Takeda Harunobu said confidently at this time: "If the three of us attack together, Suwa Yorishige will definitely have a plan, if we only defend and don't fight, then we can only surrender." ”

But Ganli Hutai was still worried and said: "But if the battle drags on, I'm afraid that Murakami Yoshikiyo will attack it, and then we will have to take care of the back." ”

"This time it must be the defeat of our victorious Suwa, and Murakami Yoshikiyoshi will not participate in a war that is doomed to failure." Takeda Harunobu said, so Ganli Hutai had to swallow what he wanted to continue.
