Takeda Yoshinobu's 800-strong front troops were able to pass through the streets at the foot of Mt. Tsumi-nu and arrive safely at Kaijin Castle, bringing a message to Takasaka Masanobu, the lord of Kaijin Castle:

Takeda Harunobu will personally lead a large army to help.

When the news of Yoshinobu's successful arrival in Kaizu reached Katsuo Castle, Takeda Harunobu was sitting face to face with his henchman Flax Modo, and Harunobu sighed softly and asked:

"What do you think about this, chopping chickens?"

"Uesugi Terutora chose Wife and Daughter Mountain to set up this formation, which seems to be a conscious grave, but in fact it has a deep meaning."

"What does that mean?"

"This ...... Uesugi Terutora and Sasa Narumasa acted unreasonably, and their subordinates couldn't figure it out. ”

"Yoshinobu has arrived safely in Haijin...... I deliberately asked Yoshinobu to bring only 800 elites, lightly armed, and show weakness to the enemy, just to lure the Uesugi army down the mountain to attack. Because even if he was attacked, I believe that with Yixin's ability and the combat strength of those 800 people, he will be able to quickly enter Haijin City for refuge. ”

"The lord is wise."

"But...... My calculations fell through. Uesugi Gun...... No, Uesugi Teruto, a woman, is very calm. ”

Harunobu sighed with regret, he originally intended to use his sister-in-law Yoshinobu as a bait to lure the Uesugi army down the mountain, even if it was only a part of the army, as long as they couldn't hold their breath and went down the mountain, it was a flaw.

But that was only his hope.

However, wishful thinking (often referred to as Italian silver) is of little use.

"Since the army is going to fight...... I don't know where the lord plans to set up this formation? ”

The one-eyed dragon chopped the chicken to death, and he had already heard the implication of Qingxin's words - he put the bait but the fish did not take the bait, so he had to go into battle himself and prepare the army.

Harunobu's rat eyes looked back and forth across the map.

"Since Uesugi Terutora has set up the main formation at Mt. Tsumi, there is no need to blame us for surrounding it with a large army, I intend to use this place as the main formation!"

With two clicks, Harunobu's fingers landed on Chajiu Mountain on the south bank of the Rhino River.

On the morning of August 23, in Honmaru in Katsuo Castle, Harunobu Takeda once again gathered his generals for the final mobilization before the war.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Echigo's Uesugi Terutora ...... She wants my head! ”

The retainers in the lower seat were all staring intently at Harunobu, waiting for his next step.

"But I ...... All she wants is her body! ”

Unlike the previous calls, after Harunobu finished speaking this time, the retainers did not burst out in time, which made Harunobu feel quite embarrassed.

Aha, he raised his head and laughed a few times, and the retainers were reminded and laughed dryly.

"Gentlemen, come out of battle!"

More than 17,000 people set out from Katsumi Castle and first crossed the Chikuma River at the foot of the castle and came to the west bank of the river.

The Takeda Army advanced slowly along the west bank of the Chikuma River, and arrived at Mt. Chausu in the evening of the same day without any danger and set up camp there.

At this point, the Uesugi Army stationed at Mt. Tsuma had been surrounded by the Takeda Army from three directions.

Seven li to the northeast (500 meters to the east) of Mt. Tsumi, the Kaizu Castle garrisoned by Takasaka Masanobu, less than 20 li to the south, is Katsuo Castle, and about 16 li to the northwest is the Takeda Army's main camp of Mt. Chausu.

They were surrounded by the Takeda army from three directions, and if they wanted to return to Zenko-ji Temple in the north, they had to cross the Chikuma River and then the Xichuan River, and escape from the Takeda clan's army and the pursuit of the defenders of Kaizu Castle.

The Uesugi army has fallen into a bad situation in terms of numbers and geographical advantages!

But Uesugi Kenshin was still sitting firmly in the camp of Mt. Tsuna, and he was not flustered at all.

In Sasa Narimasa's opinion, Sister Uesugi is even a little proud, it seems that the Uesugi army is surrounded, which is exactly the result she wants to see.

At dinner that day, even Sasa Chengzheng couldn't help but ask:

"I said, my lord...... Aren't you afraid that Harunobu Takeda will really go crazy and mobilize all his forces to surround and kill us? ”

Sister Uesugi took a dried radish with her chopsticks, threw it into her small mouth and chewed it slowly, she raised her little head proudly at the moment, and sneered with her nostrils facing the sky:

"Even the scheming Sasa Izosuke-sama can't hold his breath? I'm skeptical...... Is it all eaten by the worm in your crotch? ”

Sasa was instantly petrified.

Since she had a skin-to-skin kiss half a month ago, Uesugi Sister didn't talk about what happened that night, and she kicked Sasa out early the next morning (August 15).

After that, no matter how Cheng Zheng hinted and begged to eat her tofu, he was slapped by Sister Uesugi and opened pia.

Unexpectedly, she would make such a joke today...... After Sazuo Chengzheng reacted, he couldn't stop giggling.

It turns out that Sister Uesugi also learned to eat meat. That's a joke.

As soon as Sister Uesugi said this, she immediately regretted it.

"That's right, that's right, what the lord said is the truth...... You know how fierce that worm is, compared to the lord--oops, it hurts...... It hurts, don't pull your ears, my lord! ”

"How dare you be so rude! You owe a beating! ”

Zuo Chengzheng grinned in pain, and hurriedly begged for mercy:

"I was wrong, I was wrong...... Don't be like this...... Let go, it's painful! ”

After observing Sasa Naimasa's wonderful expression, Sister Uesugi reluctantly let go of her poor reddened ear, put down the already empty rice bowl, and took another bowl from the rice bucket next to her...... I don't know if it's the tenth bowl or the eleventh bowl.,Anyway, the rice bowl of the mud bomb has always been very small.,Sister Uesugi just has a slightly better appetite than other girls.,Remember...... Just eat so much more, as for how much is this loss...... You get the idea.

"Such a stupid question, are you really asking? You really don't understand? ”

Sister Uesugi launched another mouth cannon attack and critically attacked Sasa Naimasa, dealing 99,999 damage.

“…… I don't understand, how can the insects crawling on the ground understand the mind of the dragon soaring in the sky...... We are all caterpillars, so naturally we can't guess the mind of the dragon of Echigo. ”

"Pulling your ears and playing a tantrum?"

Uesugi-san's willow eyebrows erected.

Sasa Chengzheng wanted to cry without tears......

"Forget it, I won't punish you, I also know that Kakisaki-sama is very dissatisfied with my decision, but ...... Just wait and see, the mountain people have their own tricks, if Takeda Harunobu really dares to attack Wife and Nu Mountain, hehehehe......"

Sister Uesugi smiled sadly, which made Chengzheng feel a little bad.

"Just tell them what I said, and I'm sure they won't embarrass you anymore."

"Hay!"

Sasa Naruma bowed his head and grilled rice...... Why is Sister Uesugi the same as the roundworm in his stomach, and even the things that Honjo is pestering him for a long time are known to her?

Was it prescient, or was it ...... That ninja, the incisor?

If Uesugi really has some clever plan...... What could it be?

Sasa Naruma couldn't help but fall into a reverie.

In this way, they waited until the 29th of the end of the month, when the Takeda Army moved.
