In the fourth year of Eiroku, late at night on April 15, a sudden fog suddenly enveloped the entire Kawanaka Island area in the area of Okushinano. At the same time, after the banquet of the Uesugi army main camp on Tsuma-to-Yama, the court entered the Saijo Castle Honmaru Ohiroma.

"Takeda Shingen has adopted the strategy of his military advisor Yamamoto Kansuke, intending to force the Uesugi army to descend the mountain with a night attack on Mt. Tsumime and Mt. Saijo with 20,000 partial divisions, and then flank the Uesugi army with about 45,000 troops of his own army." Just as Chao Ding slowly walked into the big wide room with a little drunkenness, a dark shadow suddenly appeared behind him and told him a shocking news.

"Is that true?!" Chao Ding instantly sobered up a lot.

"Is that still fake? It's good that the concubine was still in charge of the walking witch before, and if he couldn't even sneak into the place where the Takeda family held a military meeting, wouldn't it be in vain? At this time, the black shadow slowly walked in front of Chao Ding and said.

"When will the Takeda Army move?" Asada believes that Takeda Shingen is not hesitant, and what he decides will inevitably be implemented soon.

"Just tonight, when the concubine left Haijin City, the Takeda Army had already begun to allocate troops and prepare to go into battle." Chiyo Mochizuki said as she played with the shuriken in her hand.

"Takeda Shingen still can't sit still after all, you immediately follow me to Wife and Daughter Mountain!" Chao Ding said after sneering.

"Wait, Fujiwara Town General, don't forget your promise." Chiyo Mochizuki suddenly stopped Asada.

"If your news is true, then the Imperial Palace will not treat you badly, and even the Mochizuki family's previous confrontation with the Uesugi family can be written off. The position of the governor of the Mochizuki family and the head of a sect are all held by you. Asadaki faintly felt that a death battle with the Takeda Army was imminent, and it was inevitable.

"That's good, if you don't believe what you say, you should know the consequences, unless the concubine dies and the clan is destroyed, otherwise you don't want to be peaceful." After Mochizuki Chiyonu finished speaking, she glared at Asada.

"My lord, the 10,000 troops led by Generals Momoi Izu Mamoru and Soga Sagami Mamoru and Hirosawa Shimoru have merged with the 10,000 troops led by Naoe Yamato Moriden, and are now on standby in the area of Mt. Hirayama and Mt. Fujita, and it is expected that they will be able to enter Mt. Tsumime and Mt. Saijo within an hour." At this time, Kato Duanzo walked quickly into the big hiroma and reported to the court.

"Excellent! Did the ninjas of the Takeda side find out about this? "The court intended to use 20,000 troops to hold back the Takeda army's partial division, 20,000 against 20,000, no one had an advantage, and nailed the Takeda army's partial division in the area of Mt. Saijo and Mt. Tsumi, so that it could neither attack the rear of the Uesugi army nor get out to support the main team of the Takeda army.

"There are a lot of nightcrawlers, ninjas, and monomi sent by the Takeda family, and the minister alone killed seventeen ninjas of the Takeda family in Amamiyato, although two hundred ninjas were arranged in the entire Okushinano region, the minister still can't guarantee whether the Takeda family knows that the 20,000 troops are gathered in the area of Mt. Hirayama and Mount Fujita." Kato Duanzo can't pack a ticket, because the number of ninjas and monomi sent by the Takeda family this time is really much more than before.

"Don't be careless, Duan Zang, you first go to the area of Hiramayama and Fujita Mountain to send orders to Naoe Yamato Mamoru , Momoi Izu Mamoru , Soga Sagami Mamoru and Hirosawa General Mamo and others will secretly march to Saijo Mountain and Tsumezu Mountain to garrison, and after discovering the Takeda Army's partial division, drag them down, and then you continue to lead the Takeda Guard to stare at the area of Kawanaka Island, and you must not let go of a Takeda family's ninja and monomi!" Chaoding didn't want Takeda Shingen to learn that he had mobilized 20,000 troops to go south to the area of Jinba Hirayama and Fuji Tower Mountain, once Takeda Shingen learned about this, then he would inevitably choose to terminate the woodpecker tactics. At that time, it will be difficult to find an opportunity to defeat the main force of the Takeda Army in one fell swoop, and all the previous preparations will be in vain.

"Obey the order, the minister will continue to go to the Hachimangahara area to clean up the Takeda family's nightcrawlers, ninjas, and monomi." Kato Duanzo immediately retired and left.

"Shengguang, you immediately go and order the generals to gather in the Daguang room after getting ready to go out, and I will return soon." Asadachi planned to return quickly, and immediately returned to Saijo Castle to lead the army out after informing Kenshin first.

"Yes." Mori Katsuhiro, who was guarding outside the door of Ohiroma, immediately ran towards Ninomaru.

In less than half an hour, Asadaki took Chiyo Mochizuki to the Uesugi army's main camp at Mt. Tsumi. To Asada's surprise, Kakizaki Keike, Saito Asanobu, Usami Dingmi, Okuma Asahide, Sebe Katsunaga, Nagao Keiren and other generals under Kenshin's command had all arrived before he entered the main camp.

"Fujiwara Town General, I was about to send someone to inform you, but I didn't expect you to come by yourself, who is next to you?" Kenshin sat on the horse and stared at Chiyo Mochizuki and said.

"This was originally the head of the Takeda family's walking shrine maiden, and the daughter of the former lord of Mochizuki Castle, Mochizuki Toe Mamoru - Mochizuki Chiyo Daughter. She has an important intelligence report on the actions of the Takeda Army this time. Asada hurriedly explained after realizing that Kenshin's eyes were not friendly to him when he looked at Tsukichiyonu.

"Could it be that she is the general of Fujiwara Town? Fujiwara Town's ability is getting bigger and bigger. Qianxin said after sneering.

"The Takeda Army has been divided, and 20,000 troops led by generals such as Mamoru Mino, Danmasa Sanada, Captain Sahei Oyamada, Mamoru Oyamada, Mamoru Ohattakema and Mt. Ohattakema are now marching towards Mt. Saijo and Mt. Tsumahima, carrying a large number of logging tools, horses, and a small number of iron cannons. The Takeda Army's main force of more than 45,000 troops was deployed in Hachiwatahara. The intention was to drive the Uesugi army down Mt. Tsumime and Mt. Saijo and then attack from both sides, and annihilate the Uesugi army in one fell swoop. "The latest movements of the Takeda Army, the female general Chiyo Mochizuki, were spoken.

"Your words are correct, close to the report of Xuanyuan who returned several batches before, and the smoke has been lit in Haijin City several times, indicating that the Takeda Army is indeed preparing to go into battle." After Kenshin slowly stood up, he immediately ordered: "Flags will not be waved everywhere on Mt. Tsumi, and in the middle of the night, our army will all go down the mountain and divide into three teams to prepare to cross the river at the three ferries of Amamiyato, Yashiro and Inasedo, and Kakizaki and Izumi Mamoru will serve as the vanguard of our army." The bonfires in various parts of the mountain must be guaranteed to burn until dawn, and the whole army carries a small amount of dry food, and the people are tied to the horses, and the violators are beheaded. I'll repeat one side more. ”

After the repetition of the order, the military discussion was over, and the generals returned to their respective camps to prepare for battle.

Kenshin waited until all the generals under his command had left the main camp, and then slowly walked to Chiyo Mochizuki's side and whispered, "I hope your information is true, if our army is victorious, the Uesugi family will not treat you badly." ”

"Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters. Thanks to the kindness of the prince, the concubine only wants the Mochizuki family to be able to settle down and no longer be at the mercy of the Takeda family. Chiyo Mochizuki felt that she was not very demanding.

"Then it's up to you to perform, serve Fujiwara Shogun well." After Qianxin finished speaking, he left without looking back.

"Let's go, it's going to war, what are your plans? Are you going to go with me or stay in Saijo Castle? Chao Ding said while looking at Qianxin's figure walking farther and farther away.

"Since that humble prince has said that he will let the concubine serve the Fujiwara Town General Hall well, will the concubine dare to disobey his orders?" Chiyo Mochizuki said after smiling.

Half an hour later, Asadachi quickly entered the Daihiroma of Saijo Castle, and directly faced Ota Shimasa, Koyama Asakiyuki, Nambada Hiroyoshi, Kano Hideji, Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki, Nanbu Johide, and Yamada Naotari, who were sitting on the horses on both sides, and ordered: "Flags are not moved everywhere in the castle, and in the middle of the night our army will go out of the city and join the 30,000 troops led by Kenshin Gong at the three ferry crossings of Amamiyato, Yashiro and Inaseto, and the bonfires in all parts of the city must be prosperous, and it must be guaranteed that they can burn until dawn, and the whole army will carry a small amount of dry food, and the people will be tied to the horses. The offender asks for beheading, do you understand?! ”

"Yes!" Ota Shimasa, Oyama Asayuki, Nambada Hiroyoshi, Kano Hideji, Ogasawara Nagasawara Nagasaki and other generals immediately stood up and replied in unison.

Due to the preparation of the battle beforehand, the Uesugi army descended very quickly. The whole army marched silently and quickly. It was as if the Uesugi army was heading towards the clouds, and the foot of the mountain was completely submerged in a thick fog. A thick gray fog covered all the men and horses of the Uesugi army.

In this way, the various units of the Uesugi army descended the mountain in the middle of the night to prepare to cross the river. More than 48,000 Uesugi troops were concentrated on the river beach in front of the three ferry crossings of Amamiyato, Yashiro and Inuseto. After that, the Uesugi army maintained a formation of three columns and marched north, while also sending a large number of things to the east.
