Under the fierce offensive of Uesugi Keikatsu, Tanaka Gunsa, who took advantage of the chaos to enter the Kaji Harutsuna formation, was at a disadvantage, and there was a tendency to be divided and surrounded. However, at this moment, a cold shot from the iron cannon Ashigaru shot the rising Kaji Harutsuna off his horse, and because he was shot in the thigh, Kaji Harutsuna was difficult to fight again, so he could only retreat to the rear under the escort of more than ten samurai.

But only then did he appear, due to the previous excitement, his squad was too deep into the enemy formation, and now all around him were Tanaka's troops, although many of these troops had retreated from the front, and had already lost their fighting spirit, but when they were now surrounded by a pair of Uesugi lone troops, they rekindled their fighting spirit, and launched a siege under the command of the samurai who arrived later, gradually narrowing the encirclement of the lone army.

Although Kadi Chungang and the others were extremely brave, the disadvantage in numbers was still difficult to change the final result. After slashing and killing forty people, all the squad was killed, and the rank of Kaji Harutsuna was also cut down by the Tanaka army, and soon disappeared.

When Kaji Harutsuna was besieged, most of the Uesugi army was in the middle of the battlefield, and only one person led more than 100 elites to attack the main formation of the Tanaka army along the gap opened up by Kaji. Naoe Kanesu, the first powerful minister of the Uesugi family, has been trying to regain trust by establishing military exploits after being scolded by Uesugi Keikatsu, which is why he is not afraid of danger and rushes into the enemy formation, but it is precisely in order to make more military achievements that he has to preserve his strength and give up support for Kaji Harutsuna. Let it die in the chaos.

The death of Kadi Chungang had a great impact on the morale of the Naoe army, and the general's refusal to save him made the morale of the soldiers under his command demoralized and complained; And that's not all. Naoe Kanesue, who had lost Kaji Harutsuna, also became a lone army, unable to continue the assault on the main formation, and could only retreat to the center in the counterattack of Tanaka's army, in the process Naoe Kanesuke suffered heavy losses, and when he joined up with Uesugi Keikatsu, there were only about 50 horsemen left beside him.

Although he resisted the surprise attack of the Uesugi army's forwards, the reversal of attack and defense in the central battlefield still made Tanaka Yoshimasa choose to retreat, and he ordered Fan to go to Konishi Yukinaga for help, but Konishi Yukinaga decided to let him withdraw from the battlefield. Suspend the offensive against the Uesugi army. Although he did not understand, Tanaka Yoshimasa had to accept this order, and fled in confusion after leaving nearly a thousand corpses.

The Second Battle of Inomata ended with the victory of the Uesugi army, in which the Uesugi army lost one family elder and 2,800 wounded and defeated sergeants, of which 1,800 were Kaji Harutsunabu; Tanaka's army lost five family members and 1,900 sergeants were killed or wounded. Most of them were killed by Uesugi Keikatsu reinforcements. The Uesugi army's defeat and victory, and the Jedi counterattack, made Governor Konishi, who was in the rear, admire, which was the reason why he chose to withdraw his troops and persuade Uesugi Keikatsu to surrender.

Tanaka Yoshimasa's retreat did not remind Uesugi Keikatsu of Konishi's instructions, but rather regarded it as a very ordinary tactical retreat, after all, there were still 6,000 Toyotomi coalition troops behind Tanaka's army. With this force, the Uesugi army can be completely defeated.

Just as Uesugi Keikatsu was about to accept it when he saw it and was about to sue for peace according to the plan, the arrival of the special envoy of President Konishi saved him some face. "Persuasion" and "surrender" are two different concepts, the former is passive and the latter is active. The former has more respect for his opponents, while the latter is full of a little inferiority. The emissary of Konishi Yuki's tone was humble and respectful. It was completely a reciprocal attitude to persuade Uesugi Keikatsu to surrender, and there was no arrogance in his words, which made Uesugi generals feel a lot better, and the hostile sides were actually a little relieved at this moment.

"Go back and tell Settsu Mamoru that his request Jingsheng fully accepts." Uesugi Keikatsu sat down and bowed shallowly.

The envoy bowed back and said with a smile: "You can say that, the foreign minister will be at ease, please rest assured that my family will do his best over there, but in the next battle against the Tokugawa family, are you sure you want to participate?" ”

Uesugi Keikatsu nodded: "That's right, Settsu Mamoru is right, this is the only opportunity for the family to make up for it, Keikatsu must not miss it, let alone live up to Settsu Mamoru's hard work." ”

"The minister understands." The envoy bowed slightly, and after Uesugi Keikatsu finished writing the oath, he went to Konishi Yukinaga's main camp with him, and after exchanging oaths with Konishi and Nakagawa, Uesugi Keikatsu officially surrendered, and the battle in northern Sichuan ended completely.

In less than an hour, the follow-up troops of the Toyotomi army arrived in the village of Inomata, and after learning that Tanaka Yoshimasa had rebelled against the water for the second time and Uesugi Keikatsu had led the people to surrender, all the generals admired the wisdom of Konishi Yukinaga. The Toyotomi coalition and the Uesugi army, who were sworn enemies a moment ago, have become comrades in the same trench at this time, and this change makes the generals of both sides smile awkwardly.

Kuroda Nagamasa 4,500, Otani Yoshitsugu 2,800, Shinjo Naoyoshi 1,800, Shimazu Yoshihiro 1,200, Konishi Yukinaga 4,000, Nakagawa Hidenari 2,000, Aoki Toshiki 3,000, Wakisaka Yasuharu 2,000, Ikoma Shinmasa 4,300, Kato Yoshiaki 3,000, Tanaka Yoshimasa 1,100, Shima Kiyoko 3,500, Hineno Hiroshi 600, Uesugi Keikatsu 3,200, and the northern Sichuan army totaled 37,000 men. It crossed the Yugawa River in the Kitagawa area and headed for the Hibara Battle.

At this time, the situation in Hibara was already quite stalemate, and with the participation of various armies, three sub-battlefields of Yubara, Hibara North, and the northern foot of Kohibara Mountain were gradually formed, as well as the main battlefield of Hibara. In the area of Yubara, the 9,000 troops of Fukushima Takayoshi and the Makabe clan resisted the 1,200 Tokugawa army led by Kamihara Yasumasa, Watanabe Moritsuna, and Mizuno Tadamasa, and the unprepared iron cannon three-stage attack repeatedly frustrated Kamihara Yasumasa's forwards, who had to borrow troops from Watanabe and Mizuno to maintain the standoff, which made Tokugawa Ieyasu once have the idea of evacuating the Yubara battlefield, but in order to prevent the Fukushima army from supporting Fukushima Masanori in Hinohara North, he finally gave Kamihara Yasumasa an order to hold on.

Compared with the confrontation in Yubara, the situation in Hibara Kita was much clearer, and under the leadership of Fukushima Masanori of Shidake Shichihongunyuki, 17,500 men from the three divisions of Hideho's left flank attacked the right flank of Tokugawa, and Sakai Ieji, who had 7,000 troops, became the focus of the attack. In the face of the brave and warlike Fukushima Masanori, Sakai Tadaji's sister-in-law was completely unable to parry, and frequently asked Okuhei Iemasa and Okubo Tadatsune for support.

On the way to help, Okuhei Iemasa was intercepted by Hosokawa Tadashi and 5,500 people sent by Fukushima Masanori, and the two sides of equal strength started a fierce battle, relying on the left and right flanking attacks of Hosokawa Tadashiko, Hojo Clanmori and the death battle of the Akaza Yoshiie, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandson had no room for counterattack, and could only retreat step by step in the face of strong pressure, and gradually gave up support for Sakai Ieji and moved closer to Okubo Tadashito.

Okubo Tadatsune's situation was slightly better, with the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he strictly guarded the southeast of Yubara and did not participate in the fierce battle of Hinohara North, and the 4,000 troops in his hands were always ready to support the three departments of Kamihara Yasumasa who were struggling to support, so after receiving Okuhira Iemasa's request for help, he did not send his whole army, but sent 800 troops to respond. Although the reinforcements were few, their arrival still caused Hosokawa Tadashi to suspend the pursuit, and the headquarters immediately occupied the original position of Okuhei Iemasa after allowing Okuhei Iemasa to retreat, where the southeast was the Honda Tadashi Division, the southwest was the Sakai Iejibu, and the northwest was the Okubo Tadashibu Division.

Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't expect that the second generation of officials of the three families, Honda, Sakai, and Okupei, would be so vulnerable, and in just over half an hour, they were beaten to pieces by the generals of the Toyotomi clan. In desperation, he had no choice but to let the old minister Benda Yasushige, who had just recovered from a serious illness, go to Okubo and take over the command from Okuhei Iemasa. Although Okuhei Iemasa was reluctant to do so, he was forced to retreat to Ieyasu's main camp under the reprimand of Honda Yasushige and Okubo Tadassune. In this camp, he experienced another reprimand, but fortunately, Okubo's loyal neighbors persuaded him in time to calm Ieyasu's anger, and as punishment, Okuhei Iemasa was immediately deprived of his territory and handed over to Honda Masanobu to be disposed of separately after the battle.
