Stone City.

"Father, Kenshin Uesugi has arrived in Shinano with an army of 8,000. He first set fire to Naganuma Castle in an attempt to lure Naganuma-sama out of the castle to fight, but after seeing that Naganuma-sama was not out of the castle, he turned to Kawanakajima to set up a formation. Sanada Nobutsuna reported the battle in a deep voice.

"Well, order the ninja to keep a close eye on the movements of the Uesugi army, and if he tries to attack any castle, report back to me immediately!" Sanada Yutaka nodded and said.

"Yes!" Sanada Nobutsuna answered, and was about to retreat, when suddenly a person rushed in from outside the house and almost hit Sanada Nobutsuna. If you look closely, it is his younger brother Sanada Masaaki.

"Changhui, why are you so flustered?" Sanada Yutaka looked at Sanada Masaki and asked quickly, I don't know why, he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Well, or the hunches of many wise people are generally more accurate? I only heard Sanada Masaaki say in a panic, "Father, something is wrong, I just received the news that Katsuyori Kimiko immediately led 800 troops out of battle after learning that the Uesugi army was attacking Shinano, presumably to meet the Uesugi army." ”

"What?!" Sanada Yutaka stood up abruptly and asked anxiously, "When did this happen?!" Do you know where you have been now?! Why didn't those of his retainers stop him?! ”

He had to be anxious, although in order to control Shinano's famous Suwa family, he sent the second son over as an adopted son, but now the eldest son Takeda Yoshinobu committed suicide, and the second son, Nobu Haino, who succeeded to the Umino family, was blind, and the third son died early...... So it is obvious that Shenglai, who is the fourth in line, naturally became the heir to the highest rank of the family governor.

Of course, because Takeda Shingen has not officially announced it, it is difficult to say who will become the heir, but this does not prevent Sanada Yutaka from specializing Suwa Katsuyori. After all, no matter how you look at it, Katsuyori Suwa, who has a record and ability, will be the most suitable candidate.

And now, Suwa Katsuyori, who is about to become the heir to the family governor in Sanada Yutaka's heart, seems to be going to meet the Uesugi army. Hawkers, although it is normal for the enemy to invade the defenders to meet the enemy, the key is...... Uesugi Kenshin brought an army of 8,000 people, but you only have 800 people in Suwa...... That's a 10-fold difference!

"According to the report, it seems that Katsuyori Kimiko had already sent troops after hearing that the Uesugi army had invaded Shinano, and at this time...... I should be almost on Kawanaka Island. Sanada Masaaki hurriedly replied.

"This bastard!" Sanada Yutaka scolded secretly when he heard this, and then immediately ordered, "Shinzuna, immediately reorganize the army, go to Kawanaka Island to support Katsuyori Gongzi, Changhui, you immediately go and order the guards of the other castles, so that they can rush to Kawanakajima as quickly as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Sanada Yutaka really doesn't want to fight a field battle with Uesugi Kenshin, the troops are insufficient, and Uesugi Kenshin is a famous general known as the god of war, and when it comes to fighting, Sanada Yutaka is not sure of victory. Therefore, after Takeda Shingen sent troops to Suruga, he strictly ordered all the wealthy clans of Shinano not to send troops at will. But now, Suwa Katsuyori has sent troops, but his identity is special, what can Sanada Yutaka do, except to help him wipe his ass, what else can he do?

Of course, Sanada Yutaka did this for no reason, after all, Suwa Katsuyori is likely to become the next governor, and if he can befriend him, then the Sanada family will definitely go further.

Kawanakajima, the main camp of the Uesugi army.

"My lord, the Takeda family doesn't seem to have any intention of sending troops." Naoe Jingzuna said in a low voice.

"Do you know who the general is here?" Uesugi Kenshin asked lightly.

"According to the investigation, it seems to be Yutaka Sanada."

"It's that old fox...... Uesugi muttered.

For Sanada Yutaka, Uesugi Kenshin is still very clear, because he has fought with the Uesugi family too many times. In Kawanaka Island alone, Sanada Yukitaka made a deep impression on Uesugi Kenshin, and when the Takeda family attacked Musashi, Sanada Yukitaka even broke through the fortified castle Iwakujo Castle, making the Uesugi family's defense in Musashi more and more difficult.

"Lord, if it's Sanada Yutaka, I'm afraid he won't go out of the city to fight our army, so let's take the initiative. If it drags on like this, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to our army......" Naoe Jinggang persuaded.

As soon as Naoe Jinggang's words were finished, several important ministers on the side echoed. In their opinion, although Uesugi Kenshin's idea of luring the enemy army to try a decisive battle was good, if it didn't work, it was natural to take a castle first as the basis for attacking Shinano in the future. After all, no matter how naïve these people were, they didn't think that this attack would be able to take down the entire Shinano.

Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin was silent, his expression obscured by a white cloth, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.

At this moment, a herald suddenly rushed in quickly, "Your Highness! Not far ahead, a Takeda family's troops were found, numbering about 800 people! ”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Uesugi Kenshin looked at the herald strangely, and then at Naoe Keixuna beside him, but found that he was also looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Check it out!" Uesugi Kenshin said lightly. He didn't believe that Naoe Keixuna would lie to him, but he also believed that Sanada Yutaka would not take the initiative to come out and fight him, "Is there any conspiracy?" ”

While thinking, he walked out of the military tent and looked ahead, and sure enough, a force was rapidly approaching here.

"It's the family crest of the Suwa family." Naoe Jingzuna said in a low voice.

"Suwaya? I remember that the current head of the Suwa family seems to be the son of Shingen, right? Uesugi Kenshin asked lightly when he heard this.

"Exactly, his name is Suwa Katsuyori, and he is the fourth son of Takeda Shingen, and because Takeda Yoshinobu committed suicide, it is said that he is likely to become the heir to the family governor." Naoe Jingzuna said in a low voice.

"Heir to the family governor......" Uesugi Ken muttered this word with faith, and suddenly turned his head to look at Naoe Jinggang and asked, "Jingzuna, do you think that old fox will use Suwa Katsuyori as bait?" ”

"He didn't dare!" Naoe Jinggang said directly without thinking about it, "Sanada Yutaka is stable by nature, he will never do such a risky thing!" Naoe Keixuna said quickly, and as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately reacted to the meaning of Uesugi Kenshin, "My lord, you mean ......"

"Hehe, let's see." Uesugi Kenshin chuckled.

The other side.

The Suwa army quickly approached the main camp of the Uesugi army, perhaps in order to lure the Shinano wealthy clan into sending troops, so Uesugi Kenshin did not build the main camp on a hill that was easy to defend.

Seeing that the distance with the Uesugi army was getting closer and closer, until the distance between the two sides was only about 300 meters, Suwa Katsuyori raised his spear and signaled the troops to stop. Then he looked at the Uesugi army not far away, and thought to himself, "If it were His Highness Shura, what would he do in the face of this situation?" ”

Well, Suwa Katsuyori is a brain-dead fan of Oda Yoshinobu, not only sending someone to collect those legends about Oda Yoshinobu, but also recording every battle he participated in, and reading it when he has nothing to do. Well, Suwa Katsuyori looked at the battle record with the idea of looking at the miracle.

At the same time, in terms of behavior and dress, he is trying to get closer to Oda Yoshinobu, such as white Haori or something. The only thing that made him more helpless was that he couldn't go to the battlefield in an ordinary samurai uniform at all. Although he is a brain-dead fan of Oda Yoshinobu, he is not brain-dead, he knows very well how dangerous it is to wear that kind of clothes to the battlefield.

Of course, this incident also made Suwa Katsuyori admire Oda Yoshinobu even more, because he knew very well that Oda Yoshinobu had participated in so many joint battles, but he had never heard of his clothes being torn. Belch...... Where did this kid find an informant?

"Lord, what should I do now?" A retainer asked in a deep voice. His name was Gray Wild Yohei, and he was a swordsman with great swordsmanship. Suwa Katsuyori also wanted to learn from Oda Yoshinobu to form his own Shinigami, so after recruiting them, he has been entrusted with important tasks. It's just a pity that the Grim Reaper didn't train it in the end, after all, not everyone is Oda Yoshinobu, and he has awesome subordinates like Shiraki Yukihisa and Maeda Keiji. However, he still trained a strong flag army for Takeda Katsuyori.

Regarding Suwa Katsuyori's attack, in fact, all the retainers in the family were opposed, on the one hand, because of Sanada Yutaka's order. On the other hand...... Suwa Katsuyori only gathered 800 people, while the Uesugi family had 8,000 people...... How could they possibly win each other without the aid of others?

But Hihei Hishino didn't object, although he also knew that Suwa Katsuyori wanted to attack, it was probably just because his head was hot, and he didn't think about how to fight after he came. But he still followed, because before he became a retainer of Suwa Katsuyori, he was just a poor ronin swordsman. It was Suwa Katsuyori who gave him a worry-free life and a superior position, and such a favor that, in his opinion, could only be repaid with death.

Hearing Ashino Yohei's words, Suwa Katsuyori touched his chin, well, this is also what he learned from Oda Yoshinobu. He looked at the Uesugi army not far away, and muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "If it is His Highness Shura, it will definitely directly impact Uesugi Kenshin's main formation, because no one in this world can stop him." But can I do such a thing? ”

Suddenly, Suwa Katsuyori shook his head violently, tightened the spear in his hand, and his eyes became firm, "If even I doubt myself, then what qualifications do I have to follow in the footsteps of His Highness Shura?!" ”

Thinking of this, Suwa Katsuyori raised his spear and pointed forward sharply, "The whole army, follow me!" After shouting, Suwa Katsuyori didn't care whether his troops had moved or not, and rushed straight to the Uesugi army on horseback.

"Rush!" Seeing this, Hihei Ashino shouted, and hurriedly followed Suwa Katsuyori.

Uesugi Army's main formation.

"Huh? Then Suwa Katsuyori dared to take the initiative to attack? Uesugi Kenshin looked ahead in surprise, this military god who had been in turmoil for more than ten years, never thought that the 8,000 army he led would dare to use a mere 800 people to rush into battle.

"This ...... Maybe he was prepared for something else? Naoe Keixuna also looked puzzled, obviously he didn't understand what the hell Suwa Katsuyori was doing.

"Have you scouted around?"

"Yes, and the subordinates have already sent several ninjas to lurk around, once the Takeda family has troops appearing, they will definitely find out." Naoe Jingzuna said firmly.

"Hmm......" Uesugi Kenshin was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said lightly, "Since that's the case, let's take a look at what skills this little tiger who may inherit the Takeda family in the future has~"

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and there was no chance of turning back, but Suwa Katsuyori did not have any fear in his heart at this time, but became very excited.

"This battle is my battle for fame in Katsuyori Suwa! Be sure to let His Highness Shura hear my name! Suwa Katsuyori thought in his heart, and suddenly burst into his mouth, "Under the command of the Takeda family, Suwa Shiro Katsuyori is also in the air!" If you don't want to die, get out of the way! Then the spear was raised, and the attacking spear was missed, and then it rushed into the formation of the Uesugi army.

I saw Suwa Katsuyori constantly waving the spear in his hand, constantly knocking down and taking away one enemy after another, and the Takeda army that followed behind him saw that his Royal Highness was so brave, and immediately attacked the Uesugi army frantically as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

"Yo, it looks like a fierce little tiger~" Uesugi Kenshin looked at the situation ahead and chuckled and quipped, "But compared to his sinister and cunning father who has no reputation at all, this kid is more like a tiger~"

"Lord ......" Naoe Jinggang opened his mouth and shouted when he heard this, and finally closed his mouth helplessly. He wanted to persuade Uesugi Kenshin to quickly transfer troops to defeat Suwa Katsuyori, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say. Well, who made Kenshin Uesugi the god of war? Who can give this great god advice when it comes to warfare?

Uesugi Kenshin did not have an order, and the generals of the Uesugi family could only helplessly watch Suwa Katsuyori spread wild in his own troops, and at the same time secretly hoped that the samurai would be able to jump out and teach this arrogant boy a good lesson.

"Report! The enemy forces have broken through to the first formation! ”

"Hmm...... Got it. Uesugi Kenshin replied lightly, his eyes still staring at Suwa Katsuyori in front of him.

Just when Naoe Jingzuna couldn't help but want to persuade, he suddenly heard Uesugi Kenshin whisper, "Jingzuna, the banner of Suwa Katsuyori...... Looks like a word, right? ”

Hearing this, Naoe Keixuna said helplessly, "My lord, it is said that Suwa Katsuyori admires Oda Yoshinobu very much, the important minister of the Oda family, so after hearing that Oda Yoshinobu's banner is unparalleled in the world, he made a second in the world. Speaking of this, Naoe Jinggang couldn't help laughing, "I heard that because of this, he was also scolded by that tiger." ”

"Oda Yoshinobu ......" Uesugi Kenshin muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a strange brilliance.
