In the eyes of Suzuki Shigehide and even the Japanese Warring States figures of this era, the outbreak of war between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen was a major event with far-reaching impact, but for Yang Guang, who is familiar with the history of modern time and space, these two natural rivals, the most precious and wonderful ten years of their lives, were all used to fight with their opponents, on the contrary, when these two suddenly stopped fighting, it was called a major event. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Don't be in a hurry!" Yang Guang sat upright with his chest up, and said calmly to Shigehide Suzuki, who was kneeling in front of him: "Tell me carefully about what you inquired about!" ”

Yang Guang's stable mood also infected Shigehide Suzuki, who eased his hurried mood a little and said in a more balanced tone: "This is how things happened. Two months earlier, the Uesugi family's important minister, Okuma Chaohide, suddenly rebelled in the Central Vietnam region, and many local tycoons such as the Ashina Mori clan in the Iwashiro region of the Kanto region also raised rebel flags to echo the north and south. ”

"Due to the heavy snow in Echigo, it was difficult for the Uesugi family's army to mobilize, and the Great Bear Ashidei sent heavy troops to guard the only passage from Echichu to Echigo, thinking that everything was worry-free and the victory was decided. Unexpectedly, Uesugi Kenshin dared to surprise Okukawa Castle with only a lone army of 1,000 people. It only took half a day for Uesugi Kenshin to take this gateway to the Iwashiro region. ”

Although the heavy snow closed the mountain, it made it difficult for Uesugi Kenshin's troops to move, but it also made it difficult for external enemies to move an inch, so Uesugi Kenshin boldly attacked with his own personal guards, turning the castle into an undefended empty city. There was only one passage from Echichu to Echigo, and Okuma Ashide's heavy troops were stationed here, and Uesugi Kenshin also mobilized elite garrisons, so that when he went south to the Iwashiro region to suppress the Ashina Mori rebellion, Okuma Ashide's could only watch his allies fall. ”

Without allies, the rebellion of Okuma Chaoxiu would fail sooner or later, so he immediately wrote a letter directly to Takeda Shingen, willing to give the Echichu region to the Takeda family first, and took the initiative to introduce many local heroes who were attached to Uesugi Kenshin for Takeda Shingen. This was an excellent opportunity to expand his strength and weaken Uesugi Kenshin's power, and Takeda Shingen could not refuse, so he mobilized 25,000 soldiers to march into Kita-Shinano. ”

Hearing this, Yang Guang couldn't help but nodded, he knew that if Takeda Shingen's army was allowed to cross the mountains of Kita-Shinano, he would be able to approach Kasuga Yamajo, the residence of Uesugi Kenshin, in this case, Uesugi Kenshin could only postpone the rebellion and return to Kita-Shinano to confront Takeda Shingen's army.

In the library of modern time and space, Yang Guang once carefully consulted the topographic map of that area, and the reason why these two famous Japanese daimyos were there every time a major war broke out was because the terrain around Kawanaka Island was dangerous, it was a battleground for soldiers, and there were large enough plains for the two sides to fight. In the case of the nearby rugged mountainous area, it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to be put away.

"How many people did Kenshin Uesugi bring?" Yang Guang couldn't help but ask.

"18,000 people!" Shigehide Suzuki was well aware of the importance of these data, and he did not dare to be negligent in collecting the situation: "Because we had to send troops to guard the passage from Echichu to Echigo, and to control Okukawa Castle, the gateway to the Iwashiro region, the troops that Uesugi Kenshin brought to Kita-Shinano were only 18,000 people!" ”

"The rear of the Uesugi family is unstable, and the advantage is to solve it quickly. Takeda Shingen was well aware of this, and put on a defensive posture and couldn't hold out. Uesugi Kenshin sent people to provoke in every way, but Takeda Shingen couldn't tolerate it, Uesugi Kenshin even sat alone outside the Takeda family barracks and drank, and Takeda Shingen only let the iron gunner shoot but still didn't fight. ”

Ten days later, Uesugi Kenshin received strong reinforcements, and he actually formed an alliance with the Franc machine man who was doing business in Kasuga Mountain Castle, and obtained two Franc cannons to help him fight. Under the bombardment of artillery fire, Takeda Shingen had no choice but to continue to hold out, so he could only arrange troops to fight the main decisive battle with Uesugi Kenshin. ”

"Franc cannon?" Yang Guang was stunned for a moment after hearing the news here, and then laughed, thinking that this Uesugi Kenshin had written a letter accusing him of not selling the Wufeng Gun to Takeda Shingen, but as the situation developed, he himself had to buy artillery from the Franco Machine, this scene was really ironic.

After laughing, Yang Guang suddenly felt that this matter was probably not what Uesugi Kenshin meant, because he was on the front line, how could he know that there was a merchant ship of the Franc machine man docked in his home city?

It seems that there is a very important figure in the Uesugi family sitting in Kasuga Mountain Castle, and this person can gain the trust of Uesugi Kenshin, have enough power to make such a decision, and can also convince Uesugi Kenshin to change his original intention and use the Franc cannon.

I have to say that this move is very ruthless, and the Franco cannon that appeared on the battlefield directly changed the situation on the battlefield, so Yang Guang casually asked about the situation of these two guns.

It is impossible for such a strategic-level weapon to be close to outsiders, but fortunately, after learning the news of the confrontation between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen, Suzuki Shigehide rushed to Kawanaka Island as soon as possible, lurking in the distant mountains and forests and using binoculars to spy on the entire battle, so he can tell a lot about these two guns in detail.

According to the size of the gun, the sound of the launch, the distance of the firing, the effect of the bombardment, etc., described by Shigehide Suzuki, Yang Guang analyzed and concluded that these were two 8-pound guns. Such artillery was actually not suitable for land field warfare due to the casting technology and materials used, but the Uesugi family did not have anything else, and there were enough war horses and manpower, so it was no problem to force the mountain road over Kita-Shinano to appear on the battlefield of Kawanakajima.

The 8-pounder guns of this era were not placed in Yang Guang's eyes, but they were behemoths for Japan at this time, so much so that after the end of this war, they were given a resounding name called "National Collapse".

Under the circumstances at that time, if the two artillery pieces were allowed to bombard in turn, the morale of the soldiers of the Takeda family would collapse sooner or later, and Takeda Shingen's initiative to attack was not wrong.

Seeing Yang Guang waving his hand at him, Shigehide Suzuki continued: "Takeda Shingen dispatched a cavalry team to attack the Uesugi artillery position from the flank. Uesugi Kenshin abandoned the artillery and led the main force to assault the main formation of the Takeda family. ”

Speaking of this, Suzuki Shigehide's face showed a yearning expression, and he joined his subjective will with emotion: "Lord, this is really a rare cavalry battle!" Uesugi Kenshin dispatched more than 3,000 cavalry, completely ignoring the casualties of the assault in turn, and attacked all the way to break through Takeda Shingen's main formation from the front!
