Noto Province belongs to Hokuriku Province and is commonly known as Noshu. With a height of about 210,000 koku, it is a small country surrounded on three sides by the Japanese and the sea, and most of the land is low and hilly, with only some small plains and some coastal plains suitable for farming.

The protrusion of the peninsula is the largest flat land from northeast to southwest, and the Nanao Bay on the east side of the peninsula forms some natural harbors, while the Bund on the west and north sides are generally dominated by cliffs and rocks.

It is bordered by Echichu to the southeast by the Boda Hills, and to the southwest by Kaga Province by the narrow base of the Noto Peninsula.

Stompe! Stompe! Shibata's army is advancing through this long, narrow street, the only way to enter Noto in Kaga.

Shibata Katsuya looked at the mountains on both sides of the pass, with Mt. Meijo on the left, Kishi Peak on the right, and the mountain pass in front, where the Uesugi army would be waiting for them.

"Newspaper... Lord! The Shibata army still has five miles according to this! "A fast horse galloped out of the valley, surrounded by a sword and spear army of Uesugi troops.

"Very well, you all follow the pre-battle deployment, get ready." Uesugi Kenshin waved the command fan in his hand and gave the battle order. He was dressed in crimson armor, cute yellow mother clothes, a monk's white turban, a black rosary around his neck, a famous horse under his crotch "releasing moon hair", and a knife "Xiaodou Changguang" on his waist.

"Yes!" The generals received the order, went down to lead their respective reserves, and entered the combat post.

From the air, the Uesugi army formed a lot of small formations, and it was not like Hosokawa Nobumoto's kind of battle with a unified reserve unit, but the way in which each wealthy family led its own reserves, and it was completely independent.

This is mainly because the Uesugi family's retainer system has not been fully formed, and the forces under his command, Echigo, Echichu, and even Ueno and Kitashinano have only formed an alliance, and Uesugi Kenshin is only an alliance leader, and the forces are only gathered because they are strong. And from time to time, due to uneven interests or collusion with external forces, the alliance relationship breaks down and civil strife occurs.

This structural form of the system can be said to be very fragile, and once the powerful alliance leader dies, it will inevitably fall apart. Uesugi Kenshin also understands this, and although he has been working hard to build a powerful retainers, he has never been able to do so. He has super-notch military talent, but is still slightly inferior in strategy.

The reason for this embarrassing situation is actually a problem left over from history. First of all, the Uesugi clan is a famous clan, originally a public family, and was appointed to rule the Kanto region, and its family is divided into four branches: the Uesugi clan in Yamauchi, the Uesugi clan in Ogiga, the Uesugi clan in Toma, and the Uesugi clan in Inukake.

Although Uesugi Kenshin has always claimed to uphold justice and samurai righteousness, in fact, his family background is exactly contrary to this, and there is a feeling of a thief shouting to catch a thief, but this may also be a kind of hope for him to restore order. This starts with his father's generation, Kenshin's father, Nagao Weijing, in order to completely control the Echigo country, did not hesitate to defeat the main family and use treacherous schemes, and fought more than 100 battles in his life, and was one of the traitors who caused the Warring States period. Later, Uesugi Kenda's son, Kenbo, commented that Jing "killed two generations of lords, an unprecedented traitor".

After the death of Nagao Weijing, the son-in-law Nagao Harukei inherited the guardian generation of the Nagao family, and the second son, Uesugi Kenshin, was still called Nagao Keihu at that time, and later went down to Katsugami to seize the position of head of the family.

On February 26, 1550, Echigo guardian Uesugi died of illness. Uesugi had no son, and after the guardian family was extinct, the post of Echigo guardian was also vacant. Two days later, Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru admitted that Nagao Keitora had the right to use the white umbrella bag and felt saddle cover.

In this way, Nagao Keitora's status as the ruler of the country was substantially certified by the shogunate, and then it was Uesugi Kenmasa who fled to Echigo, and transferred the Kanto governor, the department map, and the heavy treasure to Nagao Keitora together, and gave Uesugi the surname and became Uesugi Kenshin, the Echigo military god.

Although Uesugi Kenshin was recognized by the imperial court and the shogunate, he was not a hereditary guardian like Takeda Shingen after all, and the guardian faction in the family rebelled every once in a while, and it was for this reason that he was bound to Echigo and could not move.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The drums of war rang out, and the Shibata army appeared on Nagao Street and launched an attack on Taniguchi's Uesugi army.

"Attack! Offensive! "Sasa Chengzheng was the first vanguard formation, and 3,000 people held large spears and marched slowly in neat steps.

"Ready! Engage the enemy! The first formation of the Uesugi army consisted of only 1,000 men, but the leader was Kakizaki Keiya, who was the leading general of the Uesugi family and was known as the "invincible of the Seven Counties of Echigo".

Crackling, spears flapping at each other, occasionally stabbing one person down with a single blow.

After fighting each other for about a quarter of an hour, the Uesugi army suddenly began to slowly rotate to the right, and the large phalanx of Sasa Naimasa was still attacking in place.

"Attack!" Takanashi Masayori led an army of 1,000 and took over from Kakizaki Keike against Sasa Narimasa, who was originally a wealthy clan in Kitashinano, but was defeated by the Takeda family and surrendered to the Uesugi family.

"Huh? Offensive! Go on the offensive! Sasa Naruma felt that inadvertently, the opponent had changed unconsciously. But he didn't care, and continued to command the reserve to attack, but he had 3,000 men, three times the enemy.

In another quarter of an hour, Takanashi also began to spin right, this time with Uesugi Keikatsu against Sasa Naimasa. Keikatsu is the second son of Nagao Masaki, and his mother is the older sister of Kenshin Uesugi and is now Kenshin's adopted son.

"What's going on? How to do it! "Sasa Naruma already feels that something is wrong, this seamless connection between the reserve teams is simply a slight fear of God. And his reserve team has been in the mode of frequent attacks, and he is already a little tired.

"Quick! Go and ask the lord for reinforcements! Take over the offense! "Zuo Zuo Chengzheng is not a fool, and if it continues like this for a few more rounds, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Well, good, keep moving. The follow-up Naoe tribe is after, let him speed up his breath. "General Uesugi Kenshin is like an arm under the command of the army, and he is at ease.

Looking from the sky, the military forces of the Kamishi family formed a military formation in the shape of a semi-circular arc, with Uesugi Kenshin as the center, doing compass movements.

"Newspaper... Lord, Lord Sazo asks for reinforcements, alternate attacks, please choose! "A fast horse ran to the main camp of Shibata's army.

"Huh? Want reinforcements? Shibata Katsuya was slightly surprised, because of the obstruction of his perspective, he only saw the two armies fighting in Taniguchi in front of him, and he didn't feel that the other side was fighting in wheels.

This is the "car suspension array" that Kenshin Uesugi is proud of, attacking the enemy with multiple bands and frequencies, and finally like turning a screw, drilling through the enemy army and carrying out a decapitation operation!
