Autumn
We start building a Spear Dojo in Shinano and receive an emissary from Lord Mori. He proposes a cease-fire and I promtly agree as I have no intention in expanding to Mori's lands anytime soon.
Winter
We attack Echigo from Kozuke and Dewa from Mutsu. We also start building a Sword Dojo in Aki in order to get some proper shock troops, No-Dachi Samurai. In Mutsu the enemy takes advantage of our weakened garrison and tries to break out of the siege.
Attack on Echigo
The enemy has one unit of archers, so not much to do here except to run into contact as fast as possible
My YS takes some casualties before the CA manage to charge the enemy's rear. After that it's over for them.
Attack on Dewa
I have no idea where the enemy is, and I'll have to search around for a bit due to all the fog and snow. After I climb the highest hill nearby and find nothing they suddenly appear on the plain, far
below us. Some luck! Foolishly enough they charge up the hill towards us, and we return the favor with some added flanking.
The inevitable result
Mutsu break-out
I set-up in a long line on top of a hill with YS covering the CA behind them. The enemy comes up right down the middle of my formation, so I quickly bring in the flanks to envelop him.
The daimyo tries to flee...
...but gets caught
A crushing victory
That's the end of Uesugi. I now have all his lands, just as planned. Time to start looking towards west!
