"I'm afraid there are not less than 12,000 people!"

Nobutsuna Kamiizumi's face was solemn. Pen~Fun~Kaku www.biquge.info Although the number of people in the last battle of Kawagoe Castle is not as good as the number of people in the last battle of Kawagoe Castle, the fifteen thousand people in front of him are all the elite of the Hojo family, and they are stronger than the Uesugi coalition army back then. He did not yet know that Takeda Shingen and Imagawa Yoshimoto would also arrive at Kawagoe Castle in a few days, with a total force of more than 25,000 men. Even if they knew, they couldn't afford to take care of it, because for the more than 1,000 people in Heyue City, there was actually not much difference between 12,000 and 25,000 people.

Nobutsuna Uesugi knew that Kenshin Uesugi had placed him in Kawagoe Castle in order to delay the pace of Hojo Shiyasu and give Uesugi Kenshin enough time to deploy. He was well aware of the importance of Kawagoe Castle, and whoever captured Kawagoe Castle would be able to take the lead in the next battle for Musashi Province. Therefore, since his arrival, he has been preparing for war day and night. But how did he not expect that when the autumn harvest was coming, Hojo Shiyasu of Odawara couldn't wait to dispatch a large army.

The autumn harvest is imminent, it is the time when the farming is busy, Hojo Shiyasu pulled up the army at this time, I am afraid that it will be a big damage to agricultural production, Kamiizumi Nobutsuna's face is very ugly, he knows that Hojo Shiyasu This is a trick to kill a thousand enemies and injure eight hundred.

Bungoro Keikane asked, "But I didn't expect that Odawara would attack on a large scale at this time, what does my uncle think it should be?" "Kikita Keikakani is the nephew of Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, his father died young, and he has been with Kamiizumi Nobutsuna since he was a child.

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna muttered: "The lion of Sagami is pouring out of the nest, the army is extremely prosperous, and the elite soldiers are all in it, not to be underestimated. At this time, he came to fight the idea of taking advantage of the fact that the people in the wilderness were not firmly established, and they went down in one go. It's a pity, it's a pity......"

Kaitian Jing was suspicious: "It's a pity? ”

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna sneered: "It's a pity that Kawagoe Castle is controlled by me, and it is delusional for the Lion of Sagami to want to break through Kawagoe Castle." As he spoke, he picked up a two-stone strong bow, and without stopping in his hand, a feather arrow was put on, and with a "boom", the feather arrow flew over the city wall.

The Hojo army, which approached Kawagoe Castle, was shot and killed, and immediately dismounted, which frightened the Hojo clan and hurriedly retreated a hundred steps, and the morale of the strong army that had been puffed up was suddenly gone, and the Kawagoe Castle suddenly cheered and jumped.

Kamiizumi Nobutsuna is not only good at swordsmanship, but his archery skills are also deep in Nagano's true heritage, ranking among the best in the Nagano army, this arrow is really fast and ruthless, so scared that the Hojo clan who is fighting for the first time does not dare to stay and take a hundred steps back.

Annoyed and ashamed, the Hojo clan ordered a storming of Kawagoe Castle.

……

Heyue Castle was besieged, and the first person to get the news was the cold-mouthed Matsuyama Castle Lord Naoe Jinggang, who knew that the more than 2,000 people in Matsuyama Castle alone were like mantis arms as a car, and it was a drop in the bucket to go to support Heyue Castle, but it was better to put it on the flank, threatening the enemy's flank from time to time.

Naoe Jinggang stepped up the defense on the one hand, and sent envoys to Echigo for help.

Uesugi Ken received the news and immediately gathered to discuss. In addition to Usami Dingmi, Murakami Yoshikiyo, Takanashi Masanori, and Saito Asanobu four generals sat in Shinano's defense defense Takeda Shingen counterattacked, Naoe Keixuna sat in Matsuyama Castle, and the rest of the important military generals arrived in an instant.

After Uesugi Kenshin took his seat, he was first briefed by his newly appointed leader of the "Xuan Sarushinobu".

Uesugi Kenshin only set up a spy agency called "Xuan Ape", often disguised as merchants, Yamanbush, and monks to infiltrate various countries to collect intelligence, and the ninja known as the arrest of ninjas, in terms of personal ability, slightly superior to Hattori and Tozawa, but far inferior to the latter in terms of numbers and resources that can be used.

"You mean, Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo have joined forces!"

"That's right, from the information gathered from the personnel planted in Izu, Sagami, and other countries, this is an unusually large joint operation, with more than 25,000 troops in advance, and according to the border report of Musashi and Kai, the Takeda family's "Wind Forest Volcano" banner also appeared in the military formation, even if it is not Takeda Shingen's personal expedition, it should be done with all his might. ”

"A decisive battle?"

The generals not only did not feel nervous because of the joint efforts of Takeda, Imagawa, and Hojo, but they breathed a sigh of relief, it was really that the pressure given to them by Takeda Shingen in the battle of Kawanakashima several times was too great. Although the Echigo side now has a favorable time and place, and last time he took advantage of the damage to the vitality of Kai Tiger to make a profit in Shinano Kokudai and captured a lot of strategic places, he still felt a little weak when he faced Takeda Shingen alone. In the 22nd year of Astronomy, the famous Echigo general Kakizaki Keike led his headquarters into Shinano, fought against Takeda Shingen, was almost wiped out, and fled back to Echigo in a panic with Murakami Yoshikiyo and other wealthy clans, which was the first battle of Kawanakajima. Subsequently, Uesugi Kenshin personally went out and confronted Takeda Shingen for more than 200 days, which made the Echigo people completely see Takeda Shingen's ability.

Uesugi Kenshin sent four famous generals, Usami Dingmi, Murakami Yoshikiyo, Takanashi Masayori, and Saito Asanobu, to jointly station Shinano Province, and also advised them to adopt the tactics of "avoiding war" and hold on, hoping to use the four of them to block Takeda Shingen's counterattack.

Now, Takeda Shingen is out of the nest, and the Echigo people only need to face Musashi Province directly. As long as they are under the banner of Uesugi Kenshin, they dare to challenge any strong enemy, whether it is the Lion of Sagami, or the Tiger of Kai, or the fat pig of Tokaido.

Uesugi Kenshin looked at the generals, and couldn't help but feel a little haze in his heart, he asked the "Xuan Ape to bear", he asked the attendant to take out a map, and the panting sound in the conference room continued, and his eyes widened to look at such a beautiful and detailed map.

Uesugi Kenshin's brave general, one of the generals of the Seven-Hand Group, Yang Beizhong's pen head Nakajo Fujishi, couldn't help asking: "My lord, where did you get this map from?" ”

Uesugi Kenshin smiled bitterly, pointed to the map, and said, "It was from the hands of the Date family, and it took the lives of dozens of Ken Saru Shinobu to get it. ”

Everyone gasped again, they didn't expect that such a detailed map was actually from the Date family, and they paid a heavy price to get it, and suddenly someone thought that "Xuan Ape Shinobi" had recently changed a leader, right?

Uesugi Kenshin didn't explain, and said, "Guys, my family doesn't have an advantage in terms of troops, but the supporting characters have already arrived, how can I, the protagonist, not appear?" I've envisioned my next move, and I won't let them down. ”

The generals knelt on the ground with a "hi".

The army does not have an advantage, but Uesugi Kenshin does not care. He knew that Takeda Shingen, Imagawa Yoshimoto, and Hojo Yasuya were all heroes for a while, and he had to deal with them carefully. But the three of them joined forces, so who should they listen to, the three of them can't do it like an arm, how can they be his opponents.
