It's a new episode...... The content is the battle of Kawanakajima that everyone has long known

However, the Heavenly Evil will try to write it in a new way

***

On the night of August 14 of the old calendar in the third year of Koji (1557), Sasa Narumasa enjoyed the grace of staying in Kasugayama Castle Honmaru.

The Uesugi army's deployment has been completed, and the assembly of the army, the assignment of generals, and the distribution of military rations have all been fully prepared, and they are waiting for the next day's departure.

But early the next morning, the generals did not see the sovereign Uesugi Teruhu announce his departure.

It wasn't until about 8 o'clock in the afternoon that Uesugi Terutora issued an order to everyone to delay the battle for a day through his cronies, the Hime samurai Usaminami.

The generals didn't know why, but since the order had been given, they had to obey it obediently.

On the night of the 15th, Sasa Narumasa spent the night in the camp of Sasa's family outside the city.

On the 16th, Uesugi Terutora got up early to wash up, and at 8 o'clock in the afternoon, Terutora put on his armor and climbed to the top of the Kasuga Yamajo Castle Honmaru castle tower.

More than 20,000 people crammed Kasugayama Castle inside and out, and samurai and ashigaru from Echigo and neighboring countries crowded side by side in the layers of Kasugayama Castle walls, all looking up at the "Echigo military god" at the top - the Kanto Governor Uesugi Teruto!

Huihu today wore the silver Nanban carcass that she had always loved, and she was different from the one who didn't like to wear helmets in the past...... This time she even put on her iron helmet.

If you take off the helmet, everyone can see that she is a delicate and cold Ji warrior, but if you buckle the helmet and pull down the mask, the true face of the "military god" in this armor is not easy to see, adding a lot of mystery, and in comparison, it makes the soldiers worship even more.

At the moment when Uesugi Teruhu pulled down his helmet and visor, the entire Kasuga Mountain Castle was silent, and everyone was waiting for her declaration with a heart, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Until the sound of hard and thin pieces of iron rubbing against each other spread throughout the city, and the soldiers burst into cheers!

"Long live Your Highness the Imperial Palace!"

"Long live Your Highness the Imperial Palace!"

………… From chaotic shouts to neat roars, it's almost just the blink of an eye.

In the face of the frenzy of the soldiers, Uesugi Terutoka's expression was blocked behind the face armor, making it impossible to peep.

It wasn't until she stretched out a hand to signal silence that more than 20,000 people stopped shouting in an instant.

With a bang, Uesugi Huihu took out the love knife and raised it high:

"King Bishamen is above, I wish I success in this battle!"

"The whole army...... Out of the line! ”

"Oh!"

According to the predetermined arrangement, the soldiers crowded in the castle walked out of Kasugayama Castle in an orderly manner under the leadership of their commander, while Uesugi Terutora returned the sword and stepped down from the castle tower step by step, stepping on a pure white horse outside the Honmaru.

The release of the moon hair (the fourth generation) carried the Hui Tiger, took light and steady steps, and slowly left the city surrounded by the samurai of Qimoto.

On the side of Uesugi Teruto, there were already samurai who played the horse seal of the "Sword Eight Bishamen Heavenly King" and the "Ranlong Banner".

After leaving Kasugayama Castle, the vanguard of the vanguard had already started, and more than 10,000 members of the Uesugi army lined up in a long snake and streamed through the not wide streets of Echigo.

In the evening of the same day, the army joined up with Kakizaki Keijia's reserve outside Iiyama Castle and was stationed in the Iiyama area.

The next day, on the afternoon of the 17th, a total of 16,000 Uesugi troops arrived at Zenko-ji Temple.

In Japan, many temples have great power, and they collect money from their followers all year round, but they are not bound by the local lords, forming a unique "temple shrine leader".

Therefore, the temple is not only a temple but also a fortress.

The same is true of this Zenko-ji Temple that stands in Kita-Shinano.

As was customary, the abbot vacated two Buddhist halls for Uesugi Terutora to serve as her chanting room and military council room, and in the evening of the same day, Uesugi Terutora summoned Sasa Narumasa and Kawada Nagakin.

Although the eldest family has been following Huihu for more than a year and has been in contact with some confidential affairs, he has not yet had the opportunity to be on his own.

Sasa Narumasa doesn't remember who Sister Uesugi sent to stay at Zenko-ji Temple in history to ensure the back of the Uesugi army, but what he knew was that someone must stay behind at Zenko-ji Temple, and even if the Uesugi army was bound to win this battle, someone needed to be here to stabilize the hearts of the front-line soldiers.

After thinking about it, he thought of Kawada Nagakin.

"Elder Sang, I appoint you as the chief garrison of Zenko Temple, commanding three thousand men and horses."

Seeing that the eldest relatives had also arrived, Sister Uesugi announced the decision directly to him.

"Na...... Nani? ”

The eldest relatives were obviously a little excited.

"The army marched into Kawanakajima to fight, and Zenkoji Temple must have a garrison, so ...... The retreat of our army is in your hands! ”

Sister Uesugi reached out and patted Kawada Nagakin's thin shoulder, her tone was indifferent, and she didn't seem to take this matter to heart.

…… Why bother, I'm sure I'm going to win anyway.

At this time, Uesugi Teruhu has such self-confidence.

However, for Kawada Nagakin, this is already an opportunity to reach the sky.

"Aligado messed up a yard of Sita! Thanks to the lord for his cultivation, his subordinates will be loyal to their duties and ready to meet the army at any time. ”

The eldest prostrate bowed gratefully to the ground, and the wooden floor was slammed on his head, and it was very piercing.

And it's no wonder...... Although the eldest family is from a samurai family, but when it comes to family background, I'm afraid that even the Owari Sasa family is not as good, if he still stays in Omi and waits to inherit his father's position as Ashigaru, it is estimated that he will be a low-level samurai at best in this life.

However, in this battle between the two armies on Kawanakajima, Uesugi Terutora entrusted him with the heavy responsibility of guarding the back road, which made the eldest family both surprised and frightened.

What if you can't do it?

He couldn't help but be suspicious...... Although in the past year, he has been active in Kanto with Uesugi Terutora and Sasa Narumasa, and many things have been heard and seen, but it is one thing to see and another thing to do, and the eldest relatives do not want to be a person with low eyes.

"Don't worry too much, most of the veterans will follow the army to Kawanaka Island, you can do what you want, and you don't have to worry about your subordinates not obeying the command."

Sasa Narumasa also followed the example of Sister Uesugi and patted the eldest kiss on the shoulder.

Although the eldest relatives were still worried in their hearts, they saw that both the lord Uesugi Terutora and the senior Sasa Narumasa encouraged him, and after asking about the specific distribution of the 3,000 garrison troops, he hurriedly took his leave and went to investigate the terrain of Zenkoji Temple. In his own words, "Regardless of whether there will be a battle or not at Zenko-ji Temple, I must be fully prepared."

Early the next morning, the main force of the Uesugi army, 13,000 men, carrying about 20 days' waist rations, descended from Zenko-ji Temple and crossed the Rhinogawa River!

After crossing the Inogawa River, the Uesugi army continued southward and soon reached the northwest bank of the Chikuma River, facing Kaizu Castle across the river.

At noon, the Uesugi army stopped.

The drums of war sounded in Haijin Castle, and the lord of the city, Takasaka Masanobu, immediately did his best to organize the garrison.
