"Uesugi Army······ Descended the mountain······ Please prepare for ······" Seriously wounded, the Takeda Army's 100-legged samurai returned to the main camp of the Hachimangahara Takeda Army in the thick fog and informed Takeda Shingen of the Uesugi Army's departure from Mt. Tsumi.

"What?!" The people next to Takeda Shingen, and the people who were close to Xi, were all shocked when they heard the news.

"Calm down!" Takeda Shingen immediately rebuked everyone.

"It's a gaffe." Nagasaka Masakuni, Sone Yoichi, Tsuchiya Masaji and other Okujin Xi people immediately calmed down.

"Summoning the hundred-legged crowd!" Takeda Shingen immediately gave the order. His voice was calm, as if he were talking to himself, as if it had nothing to do with the surprise of the Hundred-legged warriors reporting the enemy situation and the consternation of the people close to him.

Soon, the Aojin Xi will gather the Hundred-legged Envoys into their main formation. Although more than 20 people came to Takeda Shingen's face, these were not all the 100-legged envoys, and there were more than 40 hundred-legged envoys waiting outside the main formation.

At this time, Takeda Shingen got up from the horse, stood in front of the hundred-legged envoys, and ordered: "You will pass the news of the attack of the Uesugi army to the generals and departments, and order the departments to quickly change the formation into a crane wing formation with the old man's main formation as the center (the general is located in the middle of the formation, surrounded by heavy troops, and the wings are spread like cranes on the left and right, which is a formation that is both offensive and defensive). In front of this camp are the Yamaprefecture Guard Captain Department and the Mochizuki Saemon Division; On the right flank are the Mieda Tsuchisa Moribu, Kanamaru Chikuzen Mamoto, Takeda Shiro Minori, Morakokoka Toyogo Mamoto, Murogayama Castle Mamoru Mamoto, and Hara Hayato Sabe; On the left flank, the Warden Division, the Anayama Izu Moribu, the Takeda Criminal Division, the Naito Repair Ryo (Naito Masatsuki, Hoshina Masatoshiko, Naito Masatoyo adopted son) Division, the Ichijo Saemon Doctor's Division, the Matsuo Minbu Daisuke Division, and the Kato Tango Shofu Division; In the rear of this formation are the Iga Shobu, the Asari Shikibu Shofuku, and the Imaifukuishi Mori Shobu, and they assemble according to this formation, defend firmly, and must not accept the enemy's challenge and attack, so we must adhere to this formation, and wait until the partial division of our army led by Yamaba Mino Mamoru, Sanada Danmasa, Takasaka Danmasa, and Oyamada Bichu Mamoru appears behind the enemy, and it is the time for our army to counterattack and attack. Until then, it was only necessary to defend and hold off the enemy army. No matter what the situation is, you are not allowed to go out to meet the battle, and you must not act without receiving the old man's order-so to send orders to the generals and departments. ”

After receiving the order, the hundred-footed envoys immediately dispersed. After that, all kinds of sounds, such as footsteps, conch shells, shouts, weapons being erected, and flags fluttering, rose and fell on Hachiwatahara.

At the same time, the Uesugi Army, like the Takeda Army, was also arranging in unison.

"Lord, if the Takeda army is complete, it will be very unfavorable for our army, so the art of war is cloudy, so make good use of the soldiers, avoid their sharp energy, hit their lazy return, and this ruler is also. To treat chaos, to wait for the uproar, this to cure the heart. Treat the near and far, wait for the labor, wait for the hungry, and treat the hungry with the power. There is no invitation to the banner of righteousness, and there is no dignified Chen (array), and this person who governs the change. At this time, Ota Shimasa came behind Asada's and spoke to him. He believed that the Takeda Army must not be allowed to successfully change formation, otherwise his side would lose a large number of troops in the attack, and the gains would outweigh the losses.

"I've known about this for a long time, but this battle that will determine the general trend of the world can't be started by the Ogiya family. The whole army obeyed my orders, and without an order, it was not allowed to attack the Takeda army at will. Chao Ding said with his eyes fixed on the direction of the Takeda Army's main formation.

"My lord, why is this so?! If the family can start a battle that determines the general trend of the world, it is really an honor for our Eastern Samurai! Nanbu Dingxiu asked puzzled.

"Because the strength and prestige of the Uesugi family in my fan valley are not enough, this battle must be fought by the retainers under the command of the Yamanuchi." Chao Ding shook his head and said slowly.

"My lord, do we ask the retainers of the Yamanuchi Palace, such as Kakizaki Izumi Shouden, Usami Suruga Shouden, and Sebe Shujin Hall, who are close to our family, to send troops to raid the Takeda Army?" Nambada Hiroyoshi immediately thought of Usami Dingmi, Setsunaga Setsunaga and other important ministers under Kenshin, who were close to the court.

"There is no need to make this move, and the subordinates of the Imperial House will naturally be able to discover the benefits and disadvantages of this." At this moment, Chao Ding was not worried about the imminent battle of the Takeda Army, what he was worried about was whether he had secretly mobilized the army before and had already arrived at the designated position.

"Your Ministers obey." Ota Zimasa, Namba Tian Hiroyoshi and others stopped talking after seeing that Asada's words were like this.

"Tell the Lord! Generals such as Naoe Yamato Moriden, Kojima Saemon Captain's Hall, Jimbo Omi Shoden, Tangjin Shikibu Daisuke Hall, and Hatakeyama Shogun Hall have led 10,000 troops to build horse fences and other fortifications on Mt. Tsumi, and Momoi Izu Moriden and others have also led 10,000 troops into Saijoyama Castle to garrison. At this moment, Mori Katsuhiro hurriedly ran to Chaoding to report an exciting news.

"Good! Our army has no worries! Chaoding was very happy.

Just as Kenshin was about to complete the deployment of the car suspension array, Kakizaki Keijia, who was in the first formation, brandished two long spears and led more than 2,000 troops under his command to rush towards the Takeda army, which had not yet completed the formation.

At this moment, the Takeda Army has not yet completely laid out its formation, and there are large or small deviations in the direction of each department, if the Takeda Army is given another half hour or so, when the Crane Wing Formation is completely deployed, it may also turn defense into attack, win more with less, and repel the Uesugi army.

As a result, both armies met on Hachimangahara without adequate preparation, and in such an urgent situation, a general's ability to adapt to changes was the best test. Just when most of Kenshin's retainers were hesitating, the Kakizaki Keijia who was the vanguard led the army to attack the Takeda army first, and sent his retainers to explain the reason to Kenshin: "We must not let the Takeda army complete the formation, and then ask the Goya Palace to punish after the battle!" ”

Kakizaki Keike is not the kind of military commander who sits on a horse and gives orders, he has always liked to take the lead in joint battles and move forward bravely. He was fifty years old at this time, but his fierceness had not diminished in the slightest. Dressed in pitch-black mortality, he rode on a pitch-black warhorse and held two long spears, and quickly slashed into the Takeda army like a black whirlwind.

At this time, the sound of Kakizaki Jingjia was like a flood of bells cracking, and the momentum was like a long rainbow through the sun, crisscrossing the formation of the Takeda Army's three branches of the Tiger Yoshi, and no one could stop it. Under the charge of his army, the formation of the right flank of the Takeda Army of Sanzhi Torakichi and Kanamaru Torayoshi was in disarray, but they were still able to hold on.

Takeda Shingen ordered someone to open the curtain of the main formation, and a cold air came to his face.

"Sure enough, as Shin Fan expected, the Uesugi army really planned it." Shingen thought, maybe the partial division who was marching in a roundabout way didn't know about the Uesugi army's rapid departure, "Damn Uesugi Kenshin. Abominable Fujiwara Asada! ”

Takeda Shingen began to speculate through the fog layer to guess Kenshin's intentions: "He wants to use this fog to win this war, and he must want to divide the victory before the fog dissipates!" ”

At present, the Takeda army is divided into two routes, with 20,000 troops heading to Mt. Tsuma-me, and remaining in the area of Hachimangahara are 1,000 castle soldiers stationed at Kaizu Castle and 45,000 troops deployed in Hachimangaara. However, the Uesugi army committed most of the troops at least 45,000 or more. In such situations, it is obvious that the attacking side tends to be in favor of the defending side.

"At first, our army may have more casualties, but when the partial division appears behind the Uesugi army, the Uesugi army will be wiped out." Takeda Shingen was still thinking about the partiality of the division, and if he asked the Hundred Foot Envoy to go and inform the emergency, it would not be able to slow down, and it was very likely that the Uesugi Army would rush to bury hidden piles or ambush personnel everywhere to stop the Hundred Foot Envoy.

"Send the iron artillery team to the front line and gather fire on the Uesugi army in the fog, the purpose of this move is not to attack the enemy, but to warn the partial division!" At this moment, in addition to giving orders, Takeda Shingen also explained the reason, which is his rare style, unless it is absolutely necessary, he will not do so.

Subsequently, after Takeda Shingen had given an order to the Iron Artillery Corps, he ordered three hundred-legged envoys to convey the attack of the Uesugi army to the partial division who was marching in a circuitous way.

However, the three Hundred-Legged Envoys were killed by the Xuanyuan Ninja who was ambushed near the Chikuma River shortly after leaving the Takeda Army's main camp. Although Baba Nobubo, Sanada Yukitaka, Takasaka Masanaka, and Oyamada Nobushige, who were far away near Mt. Tsuma-me, heard the sound of iron cannons from Hachimangaara, they could not directly lead their troops back to Hachimangaara. Because they have now discovered that the Uesugi army on Mt. Tsumime and Mt. Saijo is no less numerous than their own troops, and the other side has long been waiting for them. At this moment, the partial divisions of the Takeda Army could not all evacuate towards Hachimangahara quickly, because once they retreated, the Uesugi army stationed on Mt. Tsuma and Mt. Saijo would immediately rush down and attack the rear of the Takeda Army, so Baba Nobubo intended to attack Mt. Tsumeme and Mt. Saijo head-on. If the Uesugi army stationed on Mt. Tsumi and Mt. Saijo let the Takeda army's partial division go and let them retreat safely, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not immediately cross the river and join the main force of the Uesugi army to join the attack on the Takeda army.

After much deliberation, Nobubo Baba, Masanaka Masanaka, Koyamada Nobushige and others decided to storm Mt. Tsuma and Mt. Saijo, so that the Uesugi army stationed on the mountain could not descend the mountain to join the main force of the Uesugi army, and at the same time, a part of the troops from the partial division quickly went to Hachimanwara to support the Takeda army.
