The strength of 60,000 troops is definitely not a small number, and even if the Kwantung Army is added, the number of people participating in the battle is less than 38,000, and with the 25,000 troops of the three Maori families pressing down, this makes everyone feel a little helpless.

After all, once this army is sent out, there will only be a total of 4,000 troops left in the main formation, such a number of people is really worrying, and at the time of such a big battle, and when the opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers, all strategies are not easy to use, Omi is a plain area, plus Toyotomi Hideyoshi set the main formation on the top of Mount Kinyama, once these strategies are used, they will be immediately discovered by the other party, and when the time comes, it will only make the army of the family fall into the enemy's encirclement.

And although Gao Shanjia Road is in trouble, on the north side, it has an absolute advantage, and such an advantage has been laid at the beginning, and as the two sides continue to invest troops in the battle, the advantage becomes more and more obvious.

Because the Matsunaga family dispatched 30,000 troops this time, Matsunaga became the general of the Toyotomi family's northern route army, and because he knew that among the 30,000 troops under his command, 5,000 people were indiscriminate, so he did not let his troops participate in the battle at first, but ordered Niwa Nagahide and his 15,000 troops to attack the enemy as the front army.

The Takayama family was different in this regard, and although Shibata Katsuya was the commander-in-chief, he put his 12,000 troops at the forefront and used them to defend his main camp.

Although this battle is the first battle of the Shibata clan, but at the moment he doesn't feel anything other than excitement, afraid that this kind of thing will not happen to him at all, but because it is the first time to go to the battlefield, no matter how much the Shibata Katsuya likes it, he will not be able to let him take the position of the leading general, so at this moment he only has two samurai under his command and a clear position, but this is enough for the Shibata clan.

The combat power of the Niwa Army is slightly worse than that of the Shibata Army, after all, in recent years, the Shibata Army has seen a big scene whether it is fighting against the Uesugi family or eliminating Hojo side by side with the Takayama Army, and the Niwa Army, because Niwa Nagahide is more responsible for the government affairs of the Oda family in the later period, so this kind of big scene is the first time to see it.

In this way, although there are three thousand more than Shibata Katsuya in number, the combat power is a little worse. And not only that, in addition to the military strength is not as good as Shibata, it is more important that the Niwa family is facing an extremely important problem, that is, the lack of leading generals, Niwa Nagahide knows that he is not very proficient in martial arts, and has been busy with government affairs for more than ten years and neglected to practice, so this time he did not personally lead the army to fight, but was led by his generals Aoki Shigenao, Oshima Mitsuyoshi, Sakai Naoaki and others.

If these people are placed in the Takayama family, the clan will give them the position of leading samurai at most, and let them lead a hundred ashigaru, but if they are placed in the Niwa family, they can lead ten thousand people to battle.

And look at the Shibata family, in addition to the Shibata family, Sasa Chengzheng, not breaking the light rule, Kanamori is close to the world, which one is not a samurai who moves the world.

Therefore, as soon as the two armies clashed, under the bravery of the samurai, they immediately gained a considerable advantage, and Matsunaga saw that things were not going well, and immediately sent Takigawa Kazuki and 15,000 troops under his command to participate in the battle.

What Komatsu didn't know was that there were a lot of ashigaru people in his army, and Takigawa Ichiyi also had 2,000 parallel goods under his command.

It's just that after he went into battle, his own army strength has more than doubled that of the other party, and it has not yet been revealed.

And after Takigawa Kazuyi personally led the army into the war, the decline was also stopped, and it also slightly gained some upper hand.

"Report! The lord, Takigawa Kazuki led 15,000 troops into the battle, and the enemy's army was close to 30,000 people, and the lord was asked to decide. ”

"Got it, what's the battle ahead?" After listening to this, Shibata Katsuie did not immediately let Uesugi or Asai go out of the army, but asked first.

"Back to the lord, the enemy has a slight upper hand."

"Good! Keep watching, go ahead. Shibata Katsuya couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and he just had a slight upper hand, and it seemed that there was no need to send Uesugi or Asai to fight for the time being.

If you are human, you will have selfishness, and Shibata Katsuya is no exception, at the beginning of the battle, he felt that as long as his family's army could defeat the Niwa army, such a credit was not small, and it was enough.

But now after listening to the Takigawa army in the battle, the strength of the army is only slightly at a disadvantage, if this is the case, then it is completely possible to fight with the other party, once the other party's two armies can be defeated, then the credit is great, and even the first merit may be obtained, this is the first merit of the world, he has made a preparation for monopoly.

But Uesugi Keikatsu and Asai Nagamasa saw that Shibata Katsuya didn't mean to send themselves to the war after receiving the battle report, so how can they do it, Shibata Katsuya knew that this battle was related to the final reward, and they also understood it in their hearts, so after seeing that the other party still didn't speak.

I only heard Asai Nagamasa take a step forward and said: "Lord Shibata, the enemy has already participated in the battle, and it is time to send troops to meet the attack at this moment. ”

"No, let's lead the army below, Lord Asai is the one who is guarding the main formation this time, don't move lightly, if you have the strength of your own army, you will definitely defeat the enemy."

"You two don't fight, it's not time for you to go to war." Shibata Katsuya didn't know what their idea was, so he didn't give them a chance to continue, and directly refused.

"Shibata-sama! The enemy's 30,000 troops have the upper hand, and if it drags on, once the Shibata army is defeated, how to deal with the enemy's pressure at that time, this is a battle related to whether the lord can seize the world, and there must be no problems, so please think twice. ”

"I naturally know, that's why I have to be cautious, the enemy in addition to these two armies, but there are 30,000 troops, if I wait for the army to send out again, how to resist the 30,000 army at that time, since the lord of this battle has appointed me as the main general, then everything is up to me, needless to say, wait for news with me."

In the front battlefield, with the addition of 15,000 troops of the Takigawa army, the momentum of the Niwa army was shocked, and they suffered from the lack of brave samurai to lead, so they failed to completely burst out of combat power.
