49. Life and Death at Kawanakajima

After hearing an old woman's prediction that thick fog will descend in Kawanakajima the following morning, Kansuke decides that the time has come for him to make the move. Kansuke divides Takeda's troops into two forces―8,000 main forces led by Shingen to wait at the mountain foot and the other 12,000 forces to attack Uesugi's troops on the mountain from the rear. However, the attempt to trap the enemy had been foreseen.
