Chapter 146: Defeat the Che Hanging Formation

After Nakajo Keishi attacked with his own team, he quickly retreated, and Watanabe Moritsuna thought that he had won the victory, but at this time, Segashi had already attacked with his own men.

And the offensive was very fierce, Watanabe Moritsuna and his own subordinates quickly felt the strong pressure, and they could only continue to attack Shinaga's team.

"It's not good, this is the Uesugi family's car hanging array, Lord Watanabe Moritsuna may be in danger, you can't fight like this, hurry up and order Lord Wassuka, step forward to support and replace Lord Watanabe, and order Lord Watanabe to be sure to support one or two formations, and then someone will naturally go to support." The Takayama clan had previously participated in the Battle of the Tetori River with the Shibata Katsuie, so he was very aware of the Uesugi family's unique attack method.

Wasuka Masakatsu was originally a proud person, although he couldn't compare with Watanabe Moritsuna in martial arts, but pride is pride, and this is his nature that he can't change. Now seeing that Watanabe Moritsuna had only held out for three formations and had retreated, he was very excited to take his men and his subordinates to the top.

After Wasuka Masakatsu also resisted the attacks of the three formations, the countryman Edama Fraser under the command of the Takayama family also stepped forward to resist for a while.

He was replaced by the Takayama family general Yamauchi Kazutoyo, Yamauchi Kazutoyo is a person who likes to speculate, and is very good at seizing opportunities, this time when he has the opportunity to perform in front of the Kuroda family, he also has enough strength, holding the spear in his hand and going into battle, although he is facing the powerful Uesugi family, but he still barely supported two formations before retreating.

After Yamauchi Kazutoyo is his good friend Nakamura Kazutoyo, he knows Yamauchi Kazutoyo very well, and when he sees Yamauchi Kazutoyo doing, he knows what he means.

Yamauchi Kazutoyo wanted to make an expression in front of the Kuroda family this time, and how could Nakamura Kazushi, who was one point stronger than him in martial arts, fall behind?

So the Nakamura clan also fought hard to resist the two formations, and in this way, the subordinates of the Takayama clan seemed to have a competition with each other, and they didn't care about the result of the battle with the Uesugi family.

"The Takayama family is playing very well." Muri Takayu said.

"Even so, the number of people and horses of the third high school family is too small, they only have 3,000 people, and there are more than 10,000 people on the other side, and now the army of the family should all be put into battle." Mori Takashi said to his mother, Takayu.

"In this case, the order will go down to the whole army to press, and the left and right flanks will outflank the Uesugi family in a roundabout way, and the Chinese army must ask the Takayama family to entangle the Uesugi family first, and the family will arrive in a moment."

"I really didn't expect that just a striker of the Kuroda family could block the family's car suspension method so easily, which shows how strong the Kuroda family is!" Naoe said to Uesugi Keikatsu.

"Hmmm! The Kuroda family is indeed powerful. ”

"My lordship, what should we do now?"

"The lord's general situation is not good, and the Itoigawa Castle behind the family has been conquered by a naval army under the command of the Kuroda family."

"What did you say, being besieged by one of the Kuroda family's sailors?"

"Hey! Your Excellency! This is an urgent report I just received, and I dare not make any false remarks below. ”

"My lord! The left and right flanks of the Kuroda family and the Chinese army have begun to attack the family, and the people of Yangbei in front of the family are already a little unable to support it, so they ask the lord to send someone to support. "This is another herald who came to report.

"Since this is the case, I will send the news that the Kuroda family's naval army has captured the Itoigawa Castle in the rear of the family, and send them the news, let them know how critical the current situation of the family is, and tell them that the situation is very critical because the family is now occupied by the back road. It's ready to submit to the Kuroda family. ”

The news of Uesugi Keikatsu's submission to the Kuroda family quickly reached Kuroda's ears. For the submission of the Uesugi family, he is still mentally prepared, after all, the historical Uesugi Jingsheng also surrendered to the command of the monkey, but the object of submission this time was replaced by himself.

At the same time, nearly 10,000 soldiers of the Uesugi family also became under the command of the Kuroda family, and the soldiers of the Uesugi family were still very elite. I think that the samurai of the Uesugi family said after the Battle of Osaka that this level of intensity is not such a thing at all. Although there may be an element of big talk in the middle, at least it also reflects the pride and combat effectiveness of the Uesugi family's soldiers.

And the Uesugi family's ability to surrender means that some of the forces they value the most now have begun to waver, just like when playing a game, at the beginning, maybe a smallest force will not surrender to you, but in the end, it is likely that only one opportunity is needed, and a large force will bow to you. This is not only the case in games, but also in reality, and this is the benefit of the comparison of strength.

The Kuroda family now owns millions of stone meters of land, and this is the result of not going through any land inspection, if we say that after the land inspection, coupled with the Kuroda family's initial increase in farmland yield through various agricultural techniques, the Kuroda family's stone height is now likely to have reached tens of millions of stones.

What is the concept of tens of millions of stones? You must know that now in addition to the Kuroda family, the biggest force in the world is the Hojo family in the Kanto region, and the Hojo family stone height is only more than one million stones. This is more than ten times worse than the total stone height of the Kuroda family.

If the Kuroda family had 10 million koku, it would mean that the Kuroda family could theoretically recruit 300,000 soldiers to fight for the Kuroda family. 300,000 soldiers can definitely sweep the world.

Now, the Kuroda family is actually carrying out a kind of elite soldier system, which has completely eliminated the peasant soldiers in the army, and only the professional soldiers are retained. The troops they are now sweeping the world are only 80,000 people, and in the Kuroda family's territory, there are only 40,000 or 50,000 people in charge.

Ten million stones, this is a level that no other force can reach, and it can even be said that the other forces in the entire world together are not the opponents of the Kuroda family. And this is only about strength on paper, and does not take into account the ugliness between them.

In the process of Uesugi Keikatsu's submission, the Ueda people were very happy, not only did they keep most of their land, but they also did not lose any men and horses in the previous battle of Fudoyama Castle.
