Due to the fact that this time it was a full mobilization, and the road of Mutsu was really difficult, even if the forces of Mutsu made the greatest efforts, it was only ten days later that all the forces under their command appeared in Yamagata Castle, and after learning that this time the forces and his own troops combined had 32,000 people, Mogami Yoshimitsu was greatly satisfied. With more than 30,000 troops in hand, then Yamayoshi Castle will inevitably be extremely strong, but although Yamagata Castle is considered a big city in Mutsu, it is impossible to let more than 30,000 troops enter the city, so as early as these days, three small forts were built at the entrance of the Yamagata Basin where Yamagata Castle is located, as well as on both sides of Yamagata Castle.

Taniguchi's fortress was defended by the 8,000 peasant soldiers of the Date family, while on the left side of Yamagata Castle was 7,000 people from the southern family, and on the right side were the subordinate forces of each family stationed here, a total of 7,000 people.

And the forces of Mutsu and Oku made such a big move, how could they hide it from Takayama Nobukatsu in Kurokawa Castle, he has been waiting quietly here, just like watching a monkey, and when the monkey is tired of being played, it is time to kill it and take out his brain.

"Report! Takayama-sama, according to the investigation from the front, the forces of Mutsu have been assembled in Yamagata Castle, and the total strength of the army is about 30,000 to 35,000. ”

"Got it, quickly order everyone to come and discuss it." After speaking, I saw that Takayama Nobukatsu walked like the armor that was put on a wooden frame.

Since the Ueno Army was resting in Kurokawa Castle, it didn't take long for Kohata Nobutada, Muto Shunhide, Ho Naomasa and more than a dozen generals to appear in the Kurokawa Castle Assessment Room, and Ashina Hidemasa, who should have been sitting in the first place, had just inherited the family business of the Ashina family.

As for the main seat, of course, it was Takayama Nobukatsu who had just walked in from the main gate to sit, and I saw that he was wearing red at the moment, and he strode towards the main seat of the assessment room with a sword in his waist, and after he sat down, he only heard him speak: "There is news from the front, the forces of Mutsu have gathered more than 30,000 troops in Yamagata Castle to resist the attack of their own family, and this battle can only be won and not defeated." ”

After speaking, I saw him look at everyone present, and then said with a strong momentum: "You wait to immediately reorganize the army, and the troops will be sent to the mountain shape early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes, Takayama-sama."

"Lord Takayama, there are currently two thousand troops in the Shimoshi family, and I am willing to help with the army." As soon as everyone finished fighting, they heard Nakagawa Hidemasa immediately speak.

"No need, it's just a group of clowns jumping off the beam, Lord Ashina is here to implement the separation of soldiers and peasants as soon as possible and wait for good news." After saying that, Takayama Nobukatsu got up and left.

As for what strategy, there is really nothing to discuss in tactics, this is the idea of everyone present, although the other side has 30,000 people, but what can it be, I am afraid that with the light combat power of the family, even if it is a strong attack, it is definitely not something that the Mutsu family can resist, so why waste that time?

As soon as dawn was on the second day, the Takayama Army, which had already been regrouped, headed straight for Yamagata Castle under the leadership of Takayama Nobukatsu.

That night, they had arrived two miles outside the Yamagata Basin, and because it was getting late, Takayama Nobukatsu did not attack the Mutsu Allied forces on this day, but found an open area and began to station.

At this moment, whether it is Mogami Yoshimitsu in Yamagata Castle, or the head of the family of the southern part of the castle or other small forces, they have all appeared in the valley mouth, but everyone's faces are very ugly.

Just now, Mogami Yoshimitsu and the others took advantage of the night to personally go to the outside of the Takayama Army to check, although there was nothing wrong with the number of people reported to them before, but the only thing that made them misestimate was the elite level of the other party.

When they saw the Takayama Army with their own eyes, they realized that not to mention that they had concentrated 30,000, I am afraid that even if there are 30,000 more, they are not the opponents of the other party, not to mention anything else, just that the ordinary ashigaru in the Takayama Army, the armor on their bodies is even better than that of most of the samurai in Mutsu.

And the other side not only has long guns, but also a lot of iron cannons. Iron cannons are very rare weapons in Mutsu, and even if these are combined, there are less than a hundred, and even these dozens of iron cannons are also handed over to their most trusted retainers, but if you look at the Takayama Army, one out of every four ashigaru has an iron cannon behind him, which... It's not fake, is it? If it's true, this is more than 2,000 iron cannons, and they don't need to be attacked, just a few rounds of salvo are enough to scare away most of the troops under their command.

The other party is already armed to the teeth, and a large part of the army on his side is still only wearing cloth clothes and holding bamboo guns. How can this battle be fought?

After returning to the small grate at the mouth of the valley with their own hearts, everyone did not disperse, but sat in a longhouse, and it was almost the time of a meal since they sat here, but the dozen or so people present still did not leave, nor did they mean to speak.

In the end, it was the fierce general of the Date family, Oni Court Mototsuna, who couldn't hold back and spoke first: "My lord, my lords, now that the Takayama army has arrived two miles outside the Yamagata Basin, I don't know if the lord and your lords can have countermeasures, and their subordinates should make arrangements immediately." ”

Date Huizong waved his hand helplessly and said, "You go down first, and after discussion, I will talk to you in detail." ”

"It's the lord." Seeing that the lord's face was very bad, Ghost Court Yuangang also knew that the Gao Shan Army was probably not easy to deal with this time, so he didn't say much, and immediately retreated.

And as someone spoke, Nanfang Qingji couldn't help but ask: "You all saw it just now, although the mountain army is small, but its elite is far beyond you and I imagined, I am afraid that there is no possibility of winning this battle, it is better to... It's better for us to take advantage of the fact that we haven't really fought yet, and ask for peace with each other. ”

"Seeking peace and seeking peace, if you can ask for peace, wouldn't you have already asked for peace, and you still need to say it here?" Kasai Harunobu's temper is hot, and when he is upset at the moment, he doesn't care that the other party's strength is stronger than his own, and he still goes his own way.

"Kasai-sama, pay attention to your attitude, now is the time for each to express his opinions, since Kasai-sama has a different opinion on this, it is better to express his opinion." Without waiting for the southern sunny season to speak, the head of the nine households belonging to the southern family said dissatisfiedly.

"Humph!" Kasai Harunobu didn't continue to pester, but snorted in response.
