"System Notification: Saitou Yoshitake has joined Oda Nobunaga's camp …"
"System Notification: Asai Nagamasa has joined Oda Nobunaga's camp …"
"…"
In the final 12 hours of the Oda Nobunaga's camp selection, a few more daimyos chose to join the two camps.
"System Notification: Takeda Nobunaga has joined the Shogunate's camp …"
Two or three of them joined Oda Nobunaga's camp. They were all small and medium-sized daimyos not far from Oda Nobunaga's territory. If Oda Nobunaga defeated Wako Uesugi, he would have to go through their territory to reach Oda Nobunaga.
Therefore, it was understandable that these daimyos chose to join Oda Nobunaga's camp. The premise was that they didn't know that Oda Nobunaga's camp was almost completely wiped out.
Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi's purpose of sealing the news was to allow more daimyos and daimyos to join Oda Nobunaga's camp. This way, they could openly take over their territory, as long as the number of people joining was not too high.
For example, due to the addition of these daimyos and daimyos, Oda Nobunaga's current territory had extended to the west of Yamashiro Country. If nothing unexpected happened, it would basically fall into Wako Uesugi's hands.
"It doesn't seem like it's enough …"
However, Wako Uesugi was still a little unsatisfied. In fact, if a few more daimyos and daimyos joined Oda Nobunaga's camp, Wako Uesugi should be able to take them all down.
It was just that from a geographical point of view, the daimyos and forces in the west were closer to Kyoto. They would not easily choose to join Oda Nobunaga's camp. Instead, they were more willing to sit on the sidelines and watch Oda Nobunaga's camp and the Uesugi kid both suffer losses.
"You can't get fat in one bite. It's not necessarily a bad idea to chew slowly …"
Now that the situation was good, Yang Rui's mood was also relaxed. He scratched Wako Uesugi's nose.
If Wako Uesugi could successfully push the line of control to the west of Yamashiro State this time, coupled with diligent governance and slow expansion, its days of dominating the Wo Nation's civilized area would be in sight.
Thus, Yang Rui felt that the current situation was enough. However, Wako Uesugi's appetite seemed to be bigger.
In comparison, Takeda Nobutaka was the only one who joined the shogunate's camp in the last 24 hours. The main reason was that most of his forces were already under Wako Uesugi's control. Takeda Nobutaka himself also held a position in the shogunate, so he had no choice but to do so.
The various troops had already made their preparations beforehand. After the 12 hours of choosing a camp, Oda Nobunaga's plot to Upper Luo began in full swing. First, Wako Uesugi sent Usami Takuma, Shinjin Yoshimon, and Nagao Kageaki to lead the troops respectively. They were in charge of the evaluation of the region east of the Narrow Stream.
The main target was Takeda Shingen of Kapei State. He was a loyal supporter of Oda Nobunaga's Upper Luo camp, and was even one of the initiators. He had invested almost all of his generals in the challenge before the battle, but he himself did not participate.
The second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh troops also set off at the same time, rushing to the six countries closest to Kansai. At this time, all of the daimyos in the Upper Luo camp had either lost their generals or died. At this time, Wako Uesugi's troops should be able to take over the city easily.
The six troops were respectively led by Kanazu Yoshiaki, Kitajo Naguni, Setoshi, Honjō Keisu, Honjō Fanchang, Ganso Seinaga, Sugihara Toshiori, Saitou Tomonobu, Yasuda Shunyi, Takanashi Yoritobu, Kakisaki Kageka, Senkaku Kiyokaze, Naoe Shigetsuna, Takegu Takeshi, Iwai Keisuke, Nakajo Toshiaki, Yamamoto Takanori, and more than 30 capable generals.
Wako Uesugi only had three or four generals left. Because of their heavy injuries, they could not go to the battlefield at this time. The rest of the big cats and small cats were all sent to the front lines. At this time, there was no one to use at all. Even the big cats and small cats could catch mice.
Wako Uesugi's confidence came from Yang Rui's summoned generals. In order to cooperate with Wako Uesugi's actions, Yang Rui sent out the remaining 70 or so summoned generals to cooperate with the seven troops, mainly to serve as thugs.
With the help of these summoned generals, it was tantamount to ballast stones. The combat strength of the troops was more stable, and the taking of the cities and territories would be more smooth.
Wako Uesugi and Yang Rui were left in the middle of the army. There were only two puppet doppelgangers beside them as guards. Of course, there was also Wako Uesugi's personal guards — Uesugi Kage Guards.
"Are these two beautiful angel sisters really just your puppet doppelgangers? Is there really nothing else? They won't peek, right … "
After all the troops had set off, the middle army had to slow down the pace and coordinate, so there was no need for them to march immediately. The child Uesugi and Yang Rui had nothing to do in the main tent all of a sudden. The child curiously looked at the two four-winged angels in the light and in the dark, then snuggled into Yang Rui's arms and whispered.
In the afternoon of the same day, the first battlefield information was sent back through the secret ninja. Wako Uesugi's troops had taken two cities in Mitsubishi country in a row. They did not encounter any resistance, and there was no enemy general to lead the battle. The defenders were in chaos.
After that, the battlefield information that was slightly further away was sent back one after another. The situation was similar. Because Oda Nobunaga's camp was "completely wiped out" in the battle before the battle, there was no one to lead the battle at all. Some mountain cities were directly in a defenseless state.
In this way, early the next morning, Yang Rui and Wako Uesugi's middle of the army also followed. Because there was no resistance when the troops attacked the city, it was in line with the expectation of rapid advancement before the battle. The middle of the army also needed to keep up with the speed.
This situation continued until the morning of the third day, when Wako Uesugi's vanguard to the west was close to Mitsubishi country and Ise country, resistance appeared for the first time.
This time, the resistance did not come from the western front line, but from Takeda Shingen of Jiapei country. This tiger of Jiapei country, in his birthplace and also his base, the mountain city of Jiapei country's Ji Cui Temple, had vowed to resist to the death. Although it had been surrounded, it still did not seem to give up.
As for the other regions and mountain cities of Jiapei country, although there was more resistance than the Guanxi region, there was also no general to lead the battle. It did not affect the advancement of Wako Uesugi's troops in this direction.
For this reason, Wako Uesugi specially left one of the three troops in the first line of troops to be responsible for besieging the mountain city of Jiapei country's Ji Cui Temple. They just surrounded but did not attack. They were going to deal with it after the main battle.
