Chapter 988 The right battlefield
Most of the samurai battles are also defeated, unable to annihilate the enemy's vital force.A bloody battle with countless casualties like the Kawanakajima battle is almost unique.

This requires two extremely confident lords, and a group of brave and fierce fighters who will never retreat.It is difficult to reproduce this kind of scene in the battles of samurai who are accustomed to eating soft and fearing hard.

Although the Hojo Clan's elites are not bad in combat power, they are still a samurai army composed of various families and have semi-independent combat command.

When the battle is unfavorable, as long as someone desperately breaks the rear, others will run as soon as they should.The battlefield of tens of thousands of people seems to be fought fiercely. After the battle, hundreds of people will die, and luck will almost be lost by thousands.

Most of the people fled back, but the Hojo family's old book is still there, and the war situation is still confrontational.Echigo's victory is glorious, but the Hojo family will be more conservative, and the tortoise's shell will be harder to chew.

And the Hojo Clan's dispatch of troops this time seems to be full of confidence in himself, and he also wants to fight a battle of annihilation of the Echigo army, and completely drive Uesugi Terutora back to Echigo's hometown.

Shiba Yoshigin would think so, it was Uesugi Terutoro who reminded him of the terrain of Sano Territory.

If there were no cavalry chasing and killing in ancient times, what is the best way to annihilate the enemy?
That is to choose a geographical location that is inconvenient for the enemy to escape, just like young and Dangerous boys chasing people into a dead end and blocking them in an alley to fight.

The Sano area is surrounded by the Ashio Mountains, and the south is the Watarase River.Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the river on one side, it is a perfect arena.

After entering the territory of Sano, no matter whether it is the Echigo army or the Hojo army, once the formation and contact are launched, no one can easily retreat.The defeated defeated will inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The Hojo Clan chose this place because he was preparing to regard this battle as the starting point of his brilliant career.With [-] Hojo elites in hand, how could she lose?What to lose?

Uesugi Terotora, however, saw a glimmer of opportunity in it. As long as Hojo's elites are wiped out here, the Kanto Samurai will not hesitate to vote for Uesugi Terutoro, and kill the Hojo family, a former Internet celebrity.

It's just [-] soft-legged shrimps, my whole army will attack and crush you!

Yoshihiro Shiba thought clearly, and his heart skipped a beat.It was a bit difficult to fight, but the results were fruitful and exciting.

What a once in a lifetime opportunity!
He looked at Uesugi Terutora and asked.

"How many people are you going to bring to Sano to lead?"

Uesugi Terutora said lightly.

"Take all the troops you can carry."

Shiba Yoshigin slowly frowned, carefully counting the various troops of Echigo's army.

Naoe Jinggang and Daxiong Chaoxiu arranged the logistics in the rear, and the Joetsu and Chuuetsu they belonged to hung behind.The Kashiwazaki people of Keihiro Mori and the Shikotsu people of Nakajo Fujitsu are still on the way.

The Numata leader needs to be guarded, and the Chinese and Vietnamese members of Kawada's eldest relative cannot move.Uesugi Keshinshin's Echigo two long-tail armies have to watch over the Ueno families in the central part that are about to move.

Shiba Yoshigin calculated carefully and said.

"We don't seem to be able to draw [-] people."

Uesugi Terutora said.

"The Kakizaki Kei family's Joetsu's direct backup team is available, Saito Asanobu's Chuoetsu is available, and Irobe Katsunaga's subordinates are available.

Except for Kawada Changkin and Uesugi Keishin's tribe, all the locals who have already arrived will go out with the army, and I can pull out [-] people. "

Shiba Yoshigin looked at the princesses off the court and said.

"Yamakami Yukimori, Kaji Kagetsuna, the Odai people from Honjo Shigeru and the Shimokoshi people. Shima Katsutake, Ogasawara's long-time united front group. Sanada Nobushige's Odai people and Sanada people, about [-] people.

A total of [-] people?Eight thousand versus twenty thousand? "

Uesugi Terutora stared at Shiba Yoshigin, and said firmly.

"Enough is enough! Hojo Ujimasa is self-righteous, let's teach her a lesson she will never forget."

Shiba Yoshigin looked back at her fiery eyes and said involuntarily.

"it is good."

---

The military discussion didn't delay for much time, and the restless Echigo Zhuji had already waited for it, and they wanted to fight a hearty and hearty joint battle right away.

The Hojo family shrunk like a tortoise, and the Hojo clan was willing to show his head and be beaten, of course to satisfy her.

After arranging the route, Zhu Ji will go back immediately, and the army will be mobilized immediately.

After the girls left, Uesugi Terutora whispered to Shiba Yoshigin.

"Have those plate armors arrived at Numata City?"

Shiba Yoshigin didn't understand what she meant, but nodded his head anyway.

"Should have been there long ago."

Terutora Uesugi said with a strange smile.

"Mr. Kenshin, let someone transport them to Sano, and give the Hojo army a surprise."

Then Shiba Yoshihiro felt a throbbing in his heart.

"You mean?"

Uesugi Terutora narrowed his eyes, a trace of killing intent flashed across his eyes.

"The Sano Territory is located on the north bank of the Watarase River, surrounded by mountains on three sides and a plain in the middle. There are no continuous hills and dense water networks.

The land is flat, the soil is dry after autumn, and there is no rain to muddy the ground. "

Shiba Yoshigin was in a daze, and said slowly.

"This is the most suitable battlefield for heavily armored warriors. When the battle starts, there is no way to retreat. When encountering a narrow road, the brave wins.

Those who were defeated were either besieged on the hills or driven down the river. "

Uesugi Terutora's pupils were slightly red, and he said excitedly.

"Press the formation with heavily armored warriors, hide the heavy armored cavalry behind the mountain, and wait for an opportunity to attack the enemy's rear.

No one can stop them, they will definitely be defeated! "

Shiba Yoshigin nodded, the armor of the samurai family was very light, and even the general's tutu weighed only five or six kilograms.

This batch of fifteen-kilogram plate armor was invulnerable to bows and arrows, and there were no iron cannons in the Kanto. What did the Hojo clan use to withstand the line of defense without collapse.

Shiba Yoshigin also gradually became excited and said.

"Yes, I'll have someone take out this batch of plate armor right away, and you and I will share them."

Uesugi Terutora shook his head and said.

"It can't be divided, you have someone transport it to the front line, and let your imperial dais use it.

I remember that there were two hundred of them, and some elites were concentrated.Make up two hundred heavy armored warriors and fifty heavy armored cavalry, and use them at critical moments. "

Shiba Yoshigin was puzzled.

"Then your military strength..."

Uesugi Terutora smiled wryly.

"It's good not to divide, but if they are divided, these guys will have to quarrel again.

I'm not in the mood to argue with them now, it's better to let you use them intensively.Anyway, the Ji warrior regiment of the Kanto servants has been training for a long time, so it is good to cooperate.

Low-key transportation to the front line, distribution before the war, and the rest will be discussed after the war. "

Shiba Yoshigin looked at Uesugi Terutora, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Although Uesugi's retainers are greedy by nature, they still know the seriousness of the fatal things in the battle, and they can even be said to be brave enough to die.

Uesugi Terutora refused to ask for a piece of plate armor, not because he was afraid that they would cause chaos before the war, but because of other reasons.

Shiba Yoshigin thought he would send two thousand troops, and Uesugi Terutora would send six thousand troops.If this battle goes well, it will herald the demise of the Hojo family.

The distribution of military merits in this battle is directly related to the results of the Kanto Raiders.Uesugi Terutora hoped that the plate armor would play a role so that the Kanto Service would not lag behind Uesugi's family too much in terms of military exploits.
