When Uesugi Terutora was preparing to storm Hojo Castle with both soft and hard measures, Spo Yoshigin's side also embarked on the journey after breakfast the next day.

Tochio Castle is the Chuetsu region along the median line, with the coastline in the northwest and the Kashiwazaki area in the southerly mountains, where the Shinano River flows toward the coast.

In the Shinano River basin, Saito Asanobu's Akata Castle is stuck on the edge of the Kashiwazaki area, while to the north is Sanjo Castle, the birthplace of the Fuchu Nagao family.

The Fuchu Nagao family was formerly known as the Sanjo Nagao family, and it started in the area of Sanjo Castle.

The area between Akata Castle and Sanjo Castle is the area where the Great Bear Ashide, and his guardian retainers rebelled.

And Kuroda Hidetada, who was cut off by Yiyin before, her Kurotaki Castle is also in this area, thinking that she is preparing to be the internal response of the Big Bear party, who knows that she lost her life first.

The hereditary position of the Great Bear family is in charge of taxation, and the guardians of the Great Bear Chaoxiu Party are mostly from backgrounds and are good at internal affairs.

This group of people is not strong in battle, and Honjo really didn't give Yiyin much military strength, only three relatively reliable national people's reserves.

These people wanted to be closer to Yutai, but Yiyin's identity at this time no longer needed to deal with them, and he lost a few words of relief to Shima Shengmeng.

The samurai claim to be able to draw their swords to fight, but the Ji warriors who focus on conscripting soldiers and taking care of the logistics line will definitely not be able to defeat the Ji warriors who charge into battle and fight all year round.

I wanted some miscellaneous soldiers just to resist the front, so that Yiyin, who had nearly two hundred elite horsemen in his hands, found an opportunity to charge the battle.

The Yoshibain army marched north for a day along the east bank of the Shinano River.

At Shinano River Okawazu, the three-way waterway that divides the water to Sanjo Castle collides with the army of Okuma Ashide, who came to encircle Tochio Castle.

It was not early, and the two sides cautiously distanced themselves and set up camp.

Yoshigin's main camp shogunate.

He is located on the main seat, and on the left side of the head are Yamanaka Yukimori, Shima Katsutsu, and Kamiizumi Nobutsuna, and on the right is Naoe Kanesusu and the leader of the three tribes.

Yiyin said.

"Tomorrow after breakfast, I will send my troops to fight the rebels.

Naoe continues, you coordinate the reserve to entangle the enemy army

Shima Katsutoshi stood by behind the battle, waiting for the opportunity to lead a cavalry surprise attack and try to defeat the rebels in a battle. ”

Naoe and Shimakatsu kowtowed violently and snorted.

Yiyin said again.

"We only fought for half a day, and if we didn't succeed, we would collect our troops and return to the camp in the afternoon and turn back to Tozuo City."

Yiyin is ready to take on a battle, and if it doesn't go well, he will go straight in. He has most elite cavalry teams in his hands, and he is not afraid of tailgating and chasing.

The rebels' ashigaru peasants scattered in formation, and they might have been crushed by him with a single return of the rifle.

Yiyin is confident, but the other side is worried.

In the big bear Chaoxiu main formation, she could only try her best to appease the anxiety of her old subordinates.

I didn't expect to bump into the army sent by Tochio City to quell the rebellion, and the Honjo that said it was good was really trapped in a lonely city, and there was no power to return to the sky?

Yangbei is stupid! Long-tail Masaki bastard!

Okuma Asahide knew that Hojo Takahiro was blocking Joetsu's reinforcements, but the other two samurai were too unlucky.

In particular, Yangbei people were grinding and grinding, which led to the initiative of the Tozuo defenders.

Daxiong Chaoxiu knew that his own combat strength was weak, and Tochio City was ready to pinch the soft persimmon and defeat all the way first.

Kazuhime Samurai said worriedly.

"How can there be a royal flag in the array on the other side, and which lord is favored by the shogunate?"

Big Bear Asahide was also puzzled.

In the past few years in Kanto, I haven't heard of any family that has won the Ashikaga white flag of the Ashikaga general, let alone the Fuchu Nagao family in the lower Keshang.

Both sides retreated and set up camp, did not make contact, and did not know the origin.

She had to say.

"The long-tailed Jinghu (Uesugi Huihu) has always had no one in his eyes, and most of his subordinates are Meng Lang's generation, maybe it is a family that has taken the lead."

This is said so that Daxiong Chaoxiu himself doesn't believe it, who has nothing to do with the Ashikaga family's imperial flag and look for death? I really can't make sense.

But she had to say comfort, otherwise the people's hearts would be scattered before the battle was fought.

This time, Daxiong Chaoxiu decided to participate in the rebellion, but also because of the strength of all parties, and he wanted to follow the tide and ask for some benefits.

If the Echigo families succeed in becoming independent, it would be great if she could take the opportunity to divide one side.

If the rebellion is suppressed by Uesugi Terutora, it will be a big deal to subdue it again. has been bullied like this, how bad can the end be?

The Echigo samurai family has always been judged by martial bravery, and the big bear family is in charge of internal affairs, and they are always looked down upon by those vulgar military women.

She rebelled to let His Highness in Kasuga Mountain City know that her faction was suppressed too hard, and she would break the jar! Don't overdo it!

Seeing that Zhongji was depressed, she said.

"This is the end of the matter, there is only one war.

How many grievances we have suffered in the past few years, and how many blank eyes we have suffered, everyone must know in their hearts.

I can't bear it anymore, and if I endure it any longer, it's over. No matter what the other party is from, I'm going to fight.

If you don't prove your martial bravery, even if you surrender, you won't be at peace in the future. Only when we are united and kill our courage can we have a way out! ”

Her tone was sad, which resonated with a group of Ji warriors, and the panicked emotions gradually dissipated, and their eyes became firm.

The so-called mourning soldiers will win, Daxiong Chaoxiu is relieved, and has a trace of confidence in tomorrow's battle.

The sun is rising, and both sides are burying their pots and cooking, silently preparing to eat and fight.

The two armies met at Okawatsu, which diverted from the Shinano River to Sanjo Castle, and met on the southern bank, which was a plain, and the eastern and western armies took up positions.

Sibo Yiyin is in the west, and Daxiong Chaoxiu is in the east, and the two sides have eaten enough to face each other in military formations.

There were not many people, and they couldn't form a second-hand three-handed array, and the army gradually advanced, and finally stopped a hundred paces away.

Iron cannons were expensive, and they had not yet spread in the relatively poor Kanto. This battle is a bit like Yoshigin's first battle in Owari, a traditional style of play.

The two sides hid outside the range of the bows and arrows, and arranged a spear formation dominated by Ashigaru, ready to fight.

The samurai who rebelled with the Great Bear Ashideki had about 50,000 stone of mobilization power, and pulled out five reserves, 300 Ji samurai, and 1,000 ashigaru.

Because it is the slack season after spring ploughing, it is also equipped with a large number of peasant soldiers to transport heavy weights to enrich the edge of the front, and it seems that there are thousands of people at this time, and the momentum is not weak.

Yiyin looked at the enemy formation from a distance, but his heart was not chaotic at all, but it was just a rabble.

Whether it is on the side of the Great Bear Asahi or the people who temporarily join the people under the command of Yoshiin, they are all traditional peasant and ashigaru reserves, equipped with a small number of Ji samurai commands.

As long as this kind of reserve sticks to it, it will attack from the flanks of the Sibo concentric people hidden behind the formation, and the impact will be scattered directly, without any threat.

————

Yoshiin observes in front of the battle, and the mountains around him are fortunate to serve with the imperial flag, and Kamizumi Nobutsuna follows closely to protect.

In addition, the Gamo clan has made many meritorious contributions, and was valued by Yamanaka Yukimori and Shimakatsu Takeshi, and was given the opportunity to stand by under the nose of the lord.

Yiyin has no objection to their careful thinking, the Gamo clan is from his small surname, and he is considered a cronie, so he can be promoted first.

Behind him, Naoe Kanesu and several envoys were also in charge of accepting the orders of Yiyin and coordinating the people of several countries.

All the concentric people were hidden behind the formation under the leadership of Shima Shengmeng, waiting for the opportunity to move.

They are the main force that has done their best in today's battle, and the three reserves in front of them are just bait to drain the strength and morale of the enemy.

On the opposite side, the warriors of Ji under the command of the big bear Chaoxiu, seeing that there were only three teams on Sipo Yiyin's side, they were excited.

Although the imperial flag was a bit scary, the strength of the Great Bear Army was nearly double in numbers, which also made them feel a lot more at ease.

Kazuhime Samurai laughed.

"Lord Daxiong, I recognize the flags of the various reserve units on the opposite side, they are just Chinese and Vietnamese people, and their combat strength is sparse."

The samurai were in a better mood, and only Daxiong Chaoxiu had a solemn face.

Something is wrong, something is so wrong.

She also recognized those families, but they were just a reserve team composed of Chinese people and villages, and they really didn't have much combat power.

But that imperial flag is too eye-catching, and the number of people on the other side is so small, these people are not panicking, which is unreasonable.

The people of the country are all veterans of watching the style, and if the situation is not right, they will save their strength and run away quickly, how can the enemy be strong and I will be weak and still maintain emotional stability.

Big Bear Chaoxiu scolded.

"Dole what! We're rebelling, don't even think about losing the battle!

Cheer me up, be careful! It's embarrassing to say that their combat power is sparse! Don't you know what virtue you have? ”

Yiyin saw that the other party was about to move, and he was proud.

These internal politicians lack actual combat experience, and a show of weakness can provoke their emotions, so it is no wonder that they are despised by the Echigo samurai who pay attention to martial arts.

Thinking of further confusing the other party's military morale, Yiyin stepped forward immediately, intending to shout.

The number of people in Tongxin is too small, and if there are many casualties, he will die of distress, and his mind is full of shouting to shake the rebels and reduce the losses of his descendants, but he doesn't care about the danger he is exposed to in front of the battle.

Plug-in cow b, the system loves me, what are you afraid of.

Behind him, the mountain was in a hurry, and he followed closely with the imperial flag, and he couldn't help complaining.

The lord doesn't like to wear a carcass and a full carcass, and always likes to run around on the battlefield with a set of cloth clothes.

Stray arrows have no eyes, and if there is a case, she doesn't want to live.
