A tour of Japan's Warring States Period

"The Hojo people have crossed the river!"

I don't know who shouted it first, and even Gan Zao Jingchi's troops were shaken for a moment.

The Uesugi soldiers with good water resistance jumped into the water as soon as their armor was peeled off, while those with poor water resistance rushed towards Uesugi Teruhu's main formation with their heads covered.

The weather, location, and people are all on the side of the Takeda-Hojo coalition.

Minister Se also collapsed, his banners and drums were thrown all over the floor, and under the protection of his close family members, he abandoned his helmet and armor and hid as a soldier. The bridge was so congested that it was impossible to walk on it, so they drove a dozen horses.

The famous general Se Changshi of the Yue Kingdom swam across the Tone River in embarrassment, dragging his ponytail. Without saying a word, he didn't even have any harness or saddle, and he was not afraid of hurting his thighs, so he ran westward in embarrassment. At this time, all etiquette, justice, integrity, loyalty and filial piety are all forgotten.

One of the two pontoon bridges was broken. The troops in the front group had not yet crossed the river, and the troops in the rear group suddenly collapsed again. Takeda Harunobu and Oishi Teru did not expect that the battle would go so smoothly and that God would favor them so much.

So he drove his troops non-stop, not to kill the Uesugi army, but to shoot arrows and guns to scare the Uesugi army, causing even greater chaos. The purpose is of course to hope that the defeated army will attack Uesugi Teruhu's main team, and they will go up to pick peaches.

Takeda Harunobu, who was stationed on the horse, was really high-spirited. The battle was going so smoothly, it was unprecedentedly smooth. He has even begun to imagine that after Uesugi is defeated, he can open up the Japanese (shielded) Honkai Sea to the Pacific Ocean and cross the East Kingdom from Ueno to Etsuchi.

Oishi Shiteru was fighting locally and was more concerned about the situation. His bannermen blocked the Uesugi army on the north bank. The effect was obviously very good, but the losses were not small.

"As long as the leader of Kasuga Mountain is killed in formation, all the costs will be worth it!" Oishi Shiteru thought this way.

When I think about it, the order will not stop. Oishi Shiteru immediately asked the men and horses in the rear team to bring up bamboo rafts and cross the river first to expand the victory, or to flank the Uesugi army.

Takeda Harunobu was very happy and attentive to beating Uesugi Teruhora. When he saw that the Oishi family wanted to send people across the river, he also hurriedly sent his son-in-law Anesama Nobu-kun, sidekick Muto Kihei, and Kazuno Genjiro to take Qian People used bamboo and wood rafts prepared in advance to try to cross the river.

As soon as the banner of Sebuchi fell, Uesugi Teruhu knew that the situation was getting out of hand. In addition to ordering Ganzao Kagemochiden's army, he immediately went into battle personally, broke through the obstruction of the Ninja Castle army, and took away the Echigo people who could be taken away.

Seeing that most of the defeated troops were dispersed across the river, the vanguard of the Takeda Army and Hojo Army also galloped across the river.

"Kneel down and avoid death! Kneel down and avoid death!"

The Takeda Hojo Army shouted to the Uesugi Army's defeated troops, who were still like headless flies by the river, to stay out of the way. Anyway, most of the defeated troops had already gone to attack the Ganja team and the Uesugi team. Their only role was to be captured, tied up and sold for money.

As a general who was single-handedly promoted by Takeda Harunobu, Baba Nobuharu was naturally loyal to Takeda Harunobu and was not afraid of death in battles. Now he serves as the vanguard of the Takeda army and wants to break into the Uesugi main camp so that he can kill Uesugi Teruhora. To repay the kindness of knowing and encountering someone.

"Nobuharu of the racecourse civilian department is here, don't kill unknown people!"

With a loud shout, the three armies were frightened.

Of course, it was impossible for a general of his level to actually fight on horseback, so he just shouted to show off, and then ordered his soldiers to attack Ganzao Jingchi's team.

Seeing Uesugi's dragon flag retreating, the brave generals in Takeda and Hojo's two armies were all anxious. The great power of the leader of the Jin Zhanzhan was right in front of them. Who didn't want it?

Among the samurai who are currently in the front line of the Takeda Army, the one who is most eager to make meritorious deeds is naturally Muto Kihei. As the third son in the family, he has to earn everything by himself, let alone inherit the family business.

The young man's reluctance to admit defeat overflowed in his bones. In addition, he was also good at using a spear, and his martial arts skills were not inferior to those of many famous generals. As long as he can break into the Uesugi main formation, it will be his chance to become famous all over the world.

Each team rushed forward, borrowing the pontoon bridge they had controlled and countless bamboo and wooden platoons. Thousands of coalition forces crossed the Tone River and advanced hand in hand, compressing the Uesugi army's living space.

Takeda Harunobu and Oishi are fighting a battle of annihilation. They don't want to play some bullshit tactic of surrounding three and missing one. After eating these twelve thousand Echigo people, the Uesugi family would be completely destroyed. No matter how high the price was, it was worth it.

After losing 12,000 people, even if Terutora Uesugi ran back to Echigo, it would have no effect. The country would definitely not be able to be saved, and it would be squashed and rounded by others.

…………

On this side, Uesugi Teruhora saw the situation taking a turn for the worse and personally attacked the Ninja Castle Army, opening a gap for the entire army.

The end of the military god is naturally brave.

The Ninja Castle Army, which originally resisted the increasing number of Uesugi troops, could only hold on to a stalemate. Although Takeda Hojo's army had surrounded them, it could not change the situation that the Ninja Castle Army only had less than 3,000 people.

The terrain of Ninja Castle, which is densely covered with swamps and paddy fields, is really inconvenient for the mobilization of the army. Oishi Uteru has ordered his nephew Hojo Ujinobu to take 2,000 people to go up in a roundabout way to strengthen the siege of Ninja City, but the march speed is really not fast.

It's starting to rain!

At first, it was just as invisible as a thin thread, and no one even noticed it on the battlefield. In such a tense situation, no one would care about such a thing.

But the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was only after the first soldier slipped that people were alarmed.

Takeda Harunobu looked at the centipede in front of him. The flag on his back gradually got wet and continued to fill up with water. The kapok cloth became heavier and heavier, and at the moment it could no longer hold the water, a drop of water dripped from the flag.

It was obvious that it was not rain.

With an unnoticeable sigh, Takeda Harunobu ordered all armies not to defeat the Uesugi main formation, but only to wipe out all the Uesugi troops in front of them. The focus has changed from capturing Terutora Uesugi to expanding the results and pursuing kills.

But Oishi Uteru next door was still excited. He personally stood on the cart, beat the jintaiko drum, and kept urging the Hojo army to attack the Uesugi army like a wave.

It has to be said that Oishi Teru is not at the same level as Takeda Harunobu after all. Although he is also a qualified commander, he is still inferior to a general like Takeda Harunobu.

The coalition's offensive was naturally delayed by the mud on the ground, making it increasingly difficult to launch. Not only is it difficult to fight, but it is also increasingly difficult to march.

After all, Hojo Ujinobu failed to complete the final roundabout. The Narita clan leader and Oishi Sadanaka, who blocked the Uesugi army with only more than 2,000 and less than 3,000 men, finally failed.

Once the first loophole appears, the line of defense becomes difficult to plug.

Under the fierce desire to survive, Uesugi's troops broke out at 100% combat effectiveness even in heavy rain.

Narita clan collapsed first, and Oishi Dingzhong also collapsed.

Uesugi Teruhu glanced back. This might be the last time he saw Tonegawa.
