"Hmph...... Believe that guy, he should be suffering from menstrual cramps at this time.

Although I have long found out about this secret, I have never used it, and it is precisely for the most critical time. ”

At this time, on the mountain road of Shinshu, Takeda Shingen, who had advanced to the vicinity of Ueta Castle, was looking in the direction of Zenko-ji Temple, which was blocked by mountains in the north, and said to himself quite deliberately.

is also a female surname, Takeda Shingen would be despicable enough to use the weakness of a female surname to gain a strategic advantage, this is really everything, no wonder Kenshin-chan regarded her as his lifelong rival, but he also expressed contempt for her temperance.

Why should women be embarrassed by women!

Well...... For Shingen Takeda, who has never felt the pain of "menstrual cramps", she takes advantage of this weakness of Kenshin-chan to have absolutely no psychological burden.

"My lord, according to the report of the vanguard, the Uesugi army is encamped at the junction of Shinano and Echigo, and it seems that it does not intend to continue advancing, but to stop our army on the border of Echigo."

At some point, Chiyo Mochizuki, the ninja leader of the Takeda family, quietly appeared behind Shingen Takeda and reported to her in a delicate voice with a little baby voice.

Although this cute female ninja has a baby face and a somewhat milky voice, she is actually two years older than Takeda Shingen, and is already in her twenties "Obasan" - at least in the mouth of Haruyu, a 16-year-old mixed-race female ninja with a fiery body and a royal sister's face.

(Hmm...... Why do you suddenly have a familiar unpleasant feeling that the woman who is not old and decrepit in Echigo is saying bad things about me again...... ）

The baby-faced female ninja who knelt on one knee and waited for Takeda Shingen's order had a bruise on her forehead, but as a ninja, patience is the minimum professional skill, so she still didn't move, just cursing in her heart the Nanban female ninja who looked like she was more than ten years older than her.

"Whoa!"

The body of the half-blood female ninja who was shuttling through the mountains and forests between Iiyama Castle and the Uesugi Army garrison suddenly shook, causing the branches at the landing to bear some excessive weight and make an obvious abnormal sound.

Haru, a half-race female ninja with a hot body and a sense of surname, also had a bruise on her forehead, and silently glanced at Shinshu and Koshu, which were surrounded by mountains in the south, and then quickly rushed to Iiyama Castle, which was the logistics base of the Uesugi Army.

"Hmm...... Do you camp there?

Obviously, the number of troops is less than 10,000...... How could that guy be so confident that he would want to defeat me in the field with less than half his forces? ”

Sure enough, Kenshin-chan's "strategy" made Takeda Shingen fall into deep thought.

If the Echigo dragon girl really decided to intercept the Takeda army, it would be better to set up a formation under Iiyama Castle at the end of the Shinano Mountain Road; If she wants to attack instead of defending, then she should at least advance to the realm of Zenkoji Temple.

However, now she was guarding the Shinano Mountain Road, although this could prevent the Takeda army from bypassing the defensive positions of the Uesugi army, but if she was in charge of the village there, it would mean that the Uesugi army had no room for maneuver, and could only defend it under the fierce attack of the Takeda army.

Although as a defender, the Uesugi army will have a certain advantage as long as it arranges defensive facilities such as antlers and thistles in advance, it is hard power to defend and fight, which is equivalent to giving up the biggest advantage of the Uesugi army - the command ability of Kenshin sauce god, and it is quite an unwise choice.

- Unless, unless, the Uesugi army has a reason to defend it.

Is it because you are afraid that if you garrison Iiyama Castle, the powerful Takeda Army will be destroyed everywhere in Echigo after dividing its troops?

It's possible!

Even if they were on the defensive, the Ichijo clan forces, which echoed the Takeda army in Echichu, would definitely contain Echigo's nearly 10,000 troops and seven or eight generals, and a small number of soldiers and generals defending the direction of Ou would never move.

If the Takeda Army, which was originally the attacker, had divided its forces to defend the Uesugi Army outside Iiyama Castle, it would have been difficult for the Uesugi Army, which had been blocked outside Echigo, to break through the Takeda Army's blockade in a short period of time.

The rest of Takeda Akabi, who was not good at attacking or defending, could drive straight into the Echigo Plain under the leadership of a few generals, and then in turn eat the Uesugi army, which had been divided into three small pieces, one bite at a time.

No...... As long as the Takeda army occupied the southern and central parts of Echigo, the Yohoku people of the Uesugi family would definitely fear their families and possessions in northern Echigo, and demand to surrender to the Takeda family in order to preserve their share of interests.

And the remaining Uesugi army has completely lost both strength and morale, even the "Dragon of Echigo" Uesugi Kenshin can only surrender unconditionally to her "Kai Tiger", obediently lying on the ground with her belly exposed, at her disposal.

However, in that case, when Uesugi Kenshin found out that the Takeda army had divided his forces to occupy Echigo, it was difficult to guarantee that she would not make a desperate bet, not only did not rescue Echigo, but attacked Shinano and Kai, who were also empty.

And the other two sides of the Triple Alliance, "Tokaido Ichiyutori" Imagawa Yoshimoto and "Sagami's Lion" Hojo Shiyasu will definitely enter Kai in the name of allies to "help" the Takeda family defend, but it is easy to please the gods and send the gods, and it is difficult to say whether they plan to leave after entering the nest of Takeda Shingen.

Similarly, the Takeda Army, which had captured Echigo of the Uesugi family but had lost his Shinano and Kai, may have been attacked by the Ichijo clan forces in Echichu.

At that time, the Takeda army, which was originally the invader, would not be able to get the support of the people of Echigo at all, and there must have been many people who would attack the Takeda army with Ichijomune, but the efforts of the Takeda family ended up being a wedding dress for Ichijomune.

In this way, the Takeda family and the Uesugi family compete with each other to see who can occupy or destroy each other's territory quickly, and the result of the battle is that the other nearby daimyo will benefit from the fishermen, and they will definitely become the laughing stock of the whole world.

If the Takeda family did not divide their troops, they could only attack Iiyama Castle honestly, but it was not difficult to attack a city with only one or two thousand soldiers and a few generals with seven or eight thousand soldiers and a dozen generals, but with seven or eight thousand soldiers and two dozen generals to attack a city defended by seven or eight thousand soldiers and a dozen generals, it was definitely a hard battle, and it may not be possible to capture it.

At that time, the Takeda army could only confront the Uesugi army at Iiyama Castle for a while, destroying nearby farmland and houses by the way, and then retreating to Shinano empty-handed, just like the Uesugi army that had voluntarily entered Kita-Shinano Kawanakajima to fight the Takeda army in the past.

However, if she Takeda Shingen made such a big move this time, but still returned in vain, wouldn't it be equivalent to making another name for Uesugi Kenshin?

Ahh~ With less than half of the troops, he defended the joint attack of Koshin and Echichu, and he really deserved to be the "Dragon of Echigo" Uesugi Kenshin, and he was really better than the "Kai Tiger" Takeda Shingen.

-- This is the only result that she cannot accept.

But...... Since there is still such a lose-lose coping method, it is better for the Uesugi army to defend Iiyama Castle.

As long as they showed that if the Takeda army dared to divide their forces and enter Echigo, they would immediately rush to Shinano to make a big fuss, and even if they died, they would drag themselves on the back, then Takeda Shingen could only use the army to surround Iiyama Castle at the same time in the direction of Echigo and Shinano - that is, to besiege this castle, and after showing off their might nearby, they would retreat with dignity when the autumn harvest was approaching.

"No...... If she believed that guy, she would never use such a rogue strategy, so she would stick to the Shinano Mountain Road? ”

Shingen Takeda narrowed his eyes as beautiful as rubies and whispered to himself.

-- However, if the strength is not good, Uesugi Kenshin should burn down Iiyama Castle and then move the people of some parts of the post-South Vietnam region that were intended to be used as a battlefield to the vicinity of Harumayama Castle.

In this way, Uesugi Kenshin only needs to bear part of the loss, and can exchange for enough space to give full play to her godlike command ability to deal with the Takeda army in the land she is familiar with Echigo.

As long as she dragged the Takeda Army here for two months, most of the soldiers were peasants in the Takeda Army, and she had to retire for the autumn harvest.

After the Takeda army retreated, the Uesugi army could rebuild Iiyama Castle at the end of the Shinano Mountain Road, and the Takeda army would have to pass through the long Shinano Mountain Road to reach it every time.

"Do you mean...... Is there any trick up to that?

Or...... Is it the 'God's Favor' who has given her the means to stop my army?

Otherwise, that guy should not be able to exert his full strength these days because of menstrual cramps, and it is even more impossible to fight me with less than half of his strength......"

Just as Kenshin-chan had predicted, Takeda Shingen began to hesitate because he was thinking too much.

It seems that Kenshin-chan can also achieve good results if he uses a strategy once in a while.

Perhaps it was Chu Xuan's sinology course during this period of time that made Qianxinchan "read" his "intelligence" to 89 points.

"But...... How could I be so easily scared off!

If that guy has a great idea, go ahead and show it! ”

Suddenly, Takeda Shingen's eyes lit up, and his voice talking to himself was amplified a lot, and finally even turned into an excited roar.

The order was given, and the whole army accelerated its speed, caught up with the vanguard in half a day, and made contact with the Uesugi army in two days.

The Togakushi ninjas must take strict precautions against the ninjas of the Uesugi Army to avoid poisoning or arson......"

Takeda Shingen quickly gave a series of orders to Chiyome Mochizuki, and then sat on the "black cloud" of his beloved horse, looking out at the northern sky, and the red daki flew fiercely under the blowing of the mountain wind. (To be continued.) )
