Ignoring the Covenant's raid on Inomata Village, Uesugi Keikatsu was very angry with Nagamune's Morikin, and immediately ordered 2,000 Kanya Keiji to be stationed in Ninomaru and 1,000 Oishi Tsunagen to support Shida Yoshihide. Nagamune was reluctant to fight with the Uesugi army, but he had no choice but to be deterred by an army twice his size behind him, so he had to temporarily abandon the alliance and attack his former allies.

The 6,000 Changzong army against the 2,500 troops in Nanzhuang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, although they had an advantage in strength, but they did not take advantage of the slightest advantage after the confrontation, out of resentment against the treachery of Changzong's army, the Uesugi army fought harder, which made several assaults by Changzong's Shengqin in vain. The battle lasted until the early hours of the morning, when the good news from all over the country continued to come to my ears, the Sheng relatives of Changzong and our department finally became nervous and hurried to the front line to command the battle.

The general's supervision of the battle did play a role, and by four o'clock, the Uesugi army gradually withdrew towards the north of the village. However, this disadvantage lasted less than an hour before it was quickly reversed with the participation of reinforcements from the east and west. Gan Ryo Kei protrudes from the south gate of Ninomaru and is diagonally inserted to the west of Chosamune's army, and Oishi Tsunagen on the Tsuruhara Plateau also departed from the main camp, arrived at Inomata Village before the Kobayakawa army, ambushed the flank of Nagamune's army, Tani Tadasumi, who was advancing northward, and under the cover of the iron artillery team, killed Tani Tadasumi, a heavy minister of Chomune's army, causing the flank to collapse, and broke into the main formation.

After learning that the Uesugi army had defeated the right flank army, Nagamune's Mori immediately stopped the attack and instead transferred part of his forces to the right flank to block the Oishi Tsunagen Division, and Shita Yoshihide, who was fighting, immediately launched a counterattack when he saw this, and sent Shimoyoshi Tadashi to lead 500 men as a surprise soldier to cooperate with Oishi Tsunagen to fight, forcing Mori to have to devote more troops to deal with the Uesugi army on the right flank. This transfer gave Gan Li Kei an opportunity, and the 2,000 troops he led intensified their onslaught on the left flank and finally succeeded, wounding the general of the left flank, and also broke into the main camp of the Mori family, and launched an attack on the forward of Chojong's army from behind to support Shida Yoshihide.

In terms of troops, they had already lost their advantage, but now that the flanks had been lost, and the forward was caught in a flanking attack, Changzong and my department Sheng personally knew that he was unable to return to the sky, and was forced to order the withdrawal of troops at the strong request of the elders. Sang Ming Yoshinari, who served as the vanguard, turned to the palace army to cover the retreat of the main formation, but the formation collapsed under the attack of the Shanjun army on both roads, and died in the chaos, and the forward army killed together exceeded 500 people.

The Uesugi army, with Shida Yoshihide as the general general, fully demonstrated its wartime calm, and in order to prevent Mori from escaping, he abandoned the fish scale formation on the main attack side, and changed to the crane wing formation on three sides, and gradually encircled the Nagamune army from the north, east and west.

As it turned out, a change in this formation was necessary. Due to the superiority of troops and morale. The three-sided bullet pressure of the Uesugi army dealt a blow to the demoralized Nagamune's army far more than expected. Under the hard assault of the three generals, the main formation of Changzong and my department finally collapsed in a section of more than 100 meters from the river bank, and the important ministers of the spectrum such as Satake and Mingshen Genba were killed in battle, and Changzong and my department were put on the battle. After slashing four people, his right leg was hit by an iron cannon, and he was almost killed by the Uesugi army who surrounded him, but fortunately, thanks to Takeuchi Yuemon and other desperate guards who were close to him, he fled to the shore, and was finally taken back to Utagawaso by the Wasuka Department who rushed to hear the news.

The Battle of Inomata Village lasted three hours, and finally ended with the collapse of the entire army of Chomune, and the Uesugi army suffered more than 1,100 casualties in this battle; Changzong's army killed 3,000 people in the battle, more than 1,500 were seriously wounded and captured, more than 10 retainers with more than 1,000 stone were killed in the battle, and five people, including Gu Zhongcheng, Satake Qinnao, and Mingshen Yuanbachi, who were important ministers of the spectrum generation, were killed in battle. The commander-in-chief, Changzong and his army, were wounded, and the army that fled back to the south bank after the war was less than 1,000 people, and Changzong's army basically lost its combat effectiveness.

Upon learning of the fiasco of the Mori family, Hideho immediately ordered him to withdraw from the battlefield and go to Furukawa Shrine to rest, and Utagawaso temporarily appointed Wasuka Housekeeper as the chief general.

Wasuka Housekeeping understands. Although the Uesugi army has achieved a great victory, it is already at the end of the crossbow, and with its remaining 4,000 troops, it is simply impractical to deal with the attack of more than 30,000 people in the two directions of Sugawara Shrine and Utagawaso, so at this time, we should not be afraid of the defeat of Chosamune's department, but should take advantage of the momentum to fully press, defeat the Uesugi army in one fell swoop, and then advance the forward to the south gate of Ninomaru and reverse the defeat.

His idea was supported by the other Shikoku generals, but just as the army was preparing to cross the river, good news came from Sugawara Shrine, saying that Kobayakawa Hideaki led the army to raid Inomata Village while the Uesugi army was exhausted after the war, killed the general Oishi Tsunamoto, recaptured the village of Inomata that had just been occupied by the Uesugi army, and caused the remnants of Uesugi to retreat to Ikebo and Ninomaru. Not only that, Yoshimasa Tanaka also followed Kobayakawa's instructions to attack and defend the empty Tsuruhara Plateau, achieving the strategic goal of the second phase.

Although Chosamune's troops were defeated, it greatly consumed the physical strength of the Uesugi army, and this kind of action of planting trees and enjoying the shade of later generations made Kobayakawa achieve Kobayakawa's achievements. Kobayakawa's raid ensured the realization of the strategic goal of clearing the stronghold southeast of Wakamatsu before dawn, so that the Eastern Route Army did not affect the overall situation because of the defeat of Chosamune's department, and Wasuka Housekeeper personally went to Inomata Village to express his gratitude to Kobayakawa Hideaki.

By 6 a.m. the next morning, Minamimachi, Kitagawahara, Inomata Village, Hirayamaso, and Tsuruhara Plateau on the north bank of the Yukawa River had been captured one after another, and only Jonanso and Ikebo were barely in the hands of the Uesugi army except for Wakamatsu. After a night of fierce fighting, the Uesugi army suffered nearly 8,000 casualties, and the Toyotomi army also suffered nearly 6,000 casualties (six became Chosamune's army), except for the 2,000 men of Seongnan Yamaura Keikoku and Kurokawa Weishi, and the 4,000 of Ikefang Yasuda Nomoto, Oguni Minori, and Haruhi Tadada, all the Uesugi troops outside Wakamatsu Castle were cleared, and most of the Toyotomi army marched from the south bank to the north bank, and the siege battle was about to break out.

In order to strengthen the offensive against Wakamatsu, the forces stationed at Sugawara Shrine moved north to the Tsuruhara Plateau, the four regiments of Utagawaso moved to Inomata Village, Fukushima Takayoshi and Shimono of Tenjinso advanced to Utagawaso, except for the Satake army left behind, the rest of the troops stationed in Kitagawa Kawahara, Kimura's more than 10,000 troops smoothly advanced to Hirayamaso, and the Kyushu Corps of Furukawa Shrine moved to Inomata Village except for Mori Katsunobu and joined forces with the four regiments. The troops of Fuquan Temple, Xiaolin Village, Changqing Temple, and Xiaojuni Mountain stayed in place to protect the main formation.

In less than a day, Uesugi Jingkatsu's elaborate Jiangbei defensive position was easily destroyed, and the strong strength of the Toyotomi army made the remaining Uesugi army fearful. Throughout the night, Uesugi Keikatsu spent the night anxiously waiting for the battle report from the front line at the castle tower. At first, Kitagawara's confrontation gave him some hope, but the ensuing retreat of Keiji Maeda and the death of Mizuhara Jinken made him realize that the Uesugi family was no match for the Toyotomi clan, who ruled the world. Just as he listened to the battle reports from the front line in disbelief, the victory of Inomata Village was like a shot in the arm, which gave the Uesugi family, the dying Northeast giant, a little vitality.

"My lord, that's the strength of the Tosa bats!"

"It's a great irony that the army of the daimyo of the country was defeated by a retainer of 6,000 people!"

"Yes, this battle will not only boost morale, but also buy more time for the Tokugawa army's support!"

"Hehe, I didn't expect Genshiro (Shida Yoshihide) to play so well, and he really lived up to my trust in him." Under the flattery of the retainers, Uesugi Keikatsu was also a little proud, as if he had forgotten the fiasco of the Chinese and Western Routes, and wanted to rely on the victory of the Eastern Route to impose self-confidence on himself.

However, this victory did not turn the situation around, but half an hour later, it was overshadowed by the bad news that Inomata Village and Tsuruhara Plateau were both lost.

"It's only been half an hour, didn't you defeat Changzong and my department just now?!" Uesugi Keikatsu asked incredulously.

The envoy nodded desperately, and replied aggrievedly: "The enemy, the enemy army is too strong, defeated six thousand, and another ten thousand sixteen, their soldiers are divided into two ways, all the way to capture the Tsuruhara Plateau, all the way to raid the garrison of Inomata Village, our army has just experienced a big battle, and there is no strength to parry at all, so I have to withdraw from the village to Ikefang and Ninomaru to temporarily avoid the edge, lord, this is also no way, if you fight hard, maybe the whole army has been wiped out......"

"Enough!" Uesugi Keikatsu roared and angrily scolded Naoe Kanesu, who had arrived from Ninomaru: "What about the inner house, where is the promised 80,000 troops?" The defense line of Yukawa collapsed overnight, and if it continues like this, Wakamatsu will be lost in less than two days, and where is the Edo Inner Mansion, which swore to attack the right house? ! ”
