A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

The Ochiai clan is a member of the local shrine community in Northern Shinano, and the Iinawa where he lives was actually a manor affiliated with a certain shrine or temple.

It's just that in the unknown years, they seized territory and struggled to survive under the influence of the powerful forces that controlled Zenkoji.

"Your Highness is right, there will definitely be heavy fog on Kawanaka Island tomorrow morning!" Ochiai and Sanko looked at the fog rising on Kawanaka Island and were sure.

"When will the heavy fog dissipate?" Teru Uesugi raised his eyebrows, as if he had a fighting chance at hand.

"Based on Xiao's many years of experience in Kawanaka Island, it will not completely dissipate until Tatsuki (nine o'clock in the morning), and it will become weaker after the sun rises in Uoki (seven o'clock in the morning)."

"Very good! Got it." Ochiai and San retreated outside the tent again.

Kawanakajima is not really an island, it just happens to be at the intersection of the Sai River and the Chikuma River. It looks like an island in the center of a large river.

Because the area is relatively humid, melting winter snow brings a large amount of meltwater. The temperature in Kawanakajima is not high at night, but the temperature will gradually increase from night to day, and the water vapor will become dense, eventually forming a thick fog that makes you unable to see even your fingers.

The point is that thick fog will not only greatly affect the sight of the entire Kawanaka Island, making it impossible for anyone to see clearly three meters away.

And this is only one aspect. On the other hand, people of this era definitely don’t understand. But people in future generations who have basic scientific and cultural literacy should know that the sound transmission process will be different depending on the transmission medium.

Terutora Uesugi only knew that the thick fog would cover up the sound of the army's movements. Even if the two armies were only a hundred meters apart, the voices of the Uesugi army and the Murakami army might not be able to hear them!

This is a rare and unparalleled location and opportunity!

"Then, please, brother!" Uesugi Teruhu turned his attention to Takanashi Masayori.

Of course, what he was looking at was definitely not Takanashi Masayori, but Takanashi Masayori's legitimate son Takanashi Hidemasa, who was two years older than Uesugi Teruhora. Coupled with the many generations of in-laws, he is indeed Uesugi Terutora's cousin.

Moreover, Takanashi Hidemasa is not a weakling. When fighting against the Takai City Kawa clan, he once challenged three enemy generals by riding alone. During the fourth battle of Kawanakajima in history, he served as the vanguard general of the Uesugi Army and was very brave.

"It all depends on His Highness's orders!" Takanashi Hidemasa came out and responded loudly.

Teruhora Uesugi had two meanings. No matter how Takanashi Masayori kissed him, he was not a retainer of his Uesugi clan. There would definitely be many casualties in the vanguard, so it wouldn't hurt if the people from Hokushinano died first.

Next is Takanashi Hidemasa, the vanguard. After winning the battle, the first victory is basically stable. Then he would have an excuse to fight for Kawanakajima to be given to his uncle Takanashi Masarai. Although it is not to strengthen their own strength, the Takanashi family and the Uesugi family wear a pair of pants. Counting a hundred years ago, each of them has been blessed with two or three lives. They cannot kiss each other again.

If something happens to Kasugayama in the future, Takanashi Masarai only has twenty miles to go, so he can send troops to rescue him right away. Theoretically speaking, it is Kasugayama's latest reinforcements.

And Takanashi Hidemasa is also willing to be the pioneer, and he also wants to sit on the top spot in the Northern Shinon School. Showing off his muscles will make it easier for him to suppress the powerful families in Beixin in the future.

Someone took the lead, and someone was substituted in the position that may have sacrificed the most. Tadanao Shimazu of the Shimadzu family consciously asked to play the second team, and Kakizaki and Izumi Morikie were in the third team.

It seems that Uesugi Terutora's hope is that the two teams of Hokushinonzo will open the gap and consume the enemy. Then Kakizaki Keike rode his horse into the camp to expand the victory. Finally, he personally led the Echigo people to swarm forward and defeated Murakami Yoshikiyo.

"Tonight, the three armies of Dafang will rise at the third watch tomorrow and break camp at the fifth watch. At Mao hour, we will break through Zhou's defense together!"

"Hey!" "Oh!" "Oh!" The orders continued, and dozens of warriors responded loudly, with high momentum.

On this side, Yamauchi Yoshiharu also continued to march. After tying up Qingye Qingxiu and throwing him into the Xiaohe pack team, no one took care of him anymore.

Anyway, Yamauchi Yoshiharu just wanted to disturb Murakami Yoshikiyo's mood, so that he could be in civil strife. There would be no loss if he couldn't. He didn't kill the envoy, he just kept him as a guest, so his reputation would not be ruined.

But Koheta was riding on the horse, thinking about the reason why Murakami Yoshikiyo was trying to delay the Yamauchi army.

It was the same decisive battle whether he came early or late. Murakami Yoshikiyo would not be without military rations for these two days. He must have hoped that the reason why the Yamauchi Army could not merge with the Uesugi Army was by no means that simple.

Koheta rode his horse and ran out of the queue, asking his uncle Tsunaliang who had come from Yuanjiang to take care of his reserve team.

"My lord, my lord!" Xiaoheita ran a few steps and entered Hosokawa's reserve team.

"I've met my sworn brother, I've met Mr. Matsumisai." Koheta said hello to Hosokawa Harinyu and Matsumisai.

Hosokawa Harugong and Koheita nodded, "What do you want, Koheita?"

"Don't you think it's suspicious, Boss, that Defender Zhou is trying to delay our army for a day or two?" Xiao Pingtai expressed his doubts.

"It's a bit suspicious, but in my opinion, the most likely way for Zhou's defense is to wait for Jia Fei Dashan to join him. After all, if our army joins His Highness the Commander, there will be 34,000 troops, far superior to him. Fourteen thousand people!"

"Having said that, what if it doesn't match? Which one comes first, the Takeda meal?" "Hmm? The Kai meal comes first?"

"It's impossible. Takeda Daisen arrived at Matsuo, a small prefecture, five or six days ago, but he held his troops on hold and never joined forces with Murasaki's defense."

Hosokawa Saime was in Suwa County, which was closest to Takeda and had the best information. Takeda Harunobu is cunning and cunning. Although he has sent troops, no one can guess the strange thoughts in his heart.

"Indeed, the Murakami Army urged Takeda Daisen to join forces several times, but Takeda Daisen remained unmoved!" The views of Matsumi Saiho and Hosokawa Saime.

"So, even if our army arrives at Kawanaka Island, Takeda Daisen may not have arrived yet?" Koheita said with certainty as Hosokawa Saime said.

"That should be the case." The Hosokawa trio nodded together.

"The generals of each team will go to their own teams immediately! The generals of each team will go to their own teams immediately!" A horse in mother's clothes galloped past.

"Huh? Come on, let's go together." Hosokawa Harugong waved his riding whip in the air, and the horse under his crotch was very humane, and he turned around on his own.

"I just got the news that Kai's meal has arrived at Kaijinping." Yamauchi Yoshiharu was riding a horse, surrounded by dozens of generals from each team, following him around.

"This means that the Takeda Army can also reach Kawanaka Island tomorrow." Yamauchi Yoshikatsu spoke first.

"That's just right. The enemy and our armies will join forces and fight with drums," Hosokawa Saime continued what Yamauchi Yoshikatsu said.

The other generals also nodded. This was a great battle involving 60,000 to 70,000 people, and it would definitely leave a mark in history. It is the honor of every warrior to be able to personally participate in this battle.

"No, Your Highness, that's not right!" Xiaoping woke up in horror and shouted.

The fifth update is completed, thank you all for your recommendations.
