With 0 kill 102 losses, the ashigaru general, Akiyama Masakatsu, was raised to rank 2. 

Can he lead this men to the port of Aki?

Aki : (R2) Takeda 498 vs. (R1) Mori 240

The entire Mori army was hidden in the forest at the center. The Takeda army again had a numerical advantage, while Mori was led only by a Rank 1 general.

Takeda general Akiyama Masakatsu made the yari samurai to attack on the front, while two ashigaru flank on the right. The general will stay at the back till engagement to ensure its morale.

The first unit of Takeda ashigaru soon rushed flank them,
but the other ashigaru group was blocked by Mori's taisho archers. These peasants might not hold long...

The arrival of the taisho effectively stopped the waver of the right flank, and with the pressure from the numbers - Mori's men routed first!

The second wave of retreat was successful, but still 1/3 of the men didn't their way through...

At the same time, the Shinano army will make an attack to Mikawa. This is the same trick that Takeda played when taking Shinano. The chance now is Imagawa will lose either Mikawa and Totomi.

The Takeda spy reported that there were 2 Imagawa Yoshimoto !!!
Must be the nasty trick played by Imagawa's men of shadow. Of course one is real - the only way to find out is to see it personally.

Mikawa : (R0) Takeda 360 vs. (R4) Imagawa 187

Imagawa Yoshimoto was in Mikawa.

The 360 Takeda army, led by an experienced general, Sanada Takamasa, faced Imagawa Yoshimoto's elite Imagawa army. Although the enemy had no archers, their yari samurai were all of honor 2. The Takeda, although had a much larger number, would have difficulty crossing the bridge at the first place.

At least, in this doomed-to-lose battle, Takeda would like to kill as many Imagawa soldiers as possible.

Soon Imagawa yari samurai approached - in hand to hand fight Takeda will lose badly for sure.

However, general Sanada Takamasa ordered his men to halt!

He got an idea.

If he can lure the yari samurai onto, even across the bridge, then Takeda could easily outnumber the Imagawa yari samurai!

But for Takeda it was worthwhile, as they now had a more obvious numerical advantage.

general Sanaka now ask all his men to charge over!

Totally 35 men got killed Imagawa's bodyguard, until it included Sanada Takamasa, the taisho...  The Takeda army, although greatly outnumbers Imagawa Yoshimoto's bodyguard, suddenly broke into a chaos and fled... Imagawa Yoshimoto himself killed 10.

However, the majority of Imagawa soldiers were eliminated in Mikawa. Takeda already did a good job bringing down the Imagawa army in Mikawa.

The Takeda army shall come back soon!

Totomi : (R2)Takeda 695 vs. (R0)Imagawa 584

The Totomi invasion took place roughly the same time as the bloody battle in Mikawa.

The Takeda army was led by two R2 generals, Hiraga Genshin and Akiyama Masakatsu. The loyalist general Akiyama certainly had 1 more battle experience than Hiraga, so Takeda Nobutora decided to give the ashigaru general a try. (ops)

Although the Imagawa commander was not an experienced general,  their archers were the finest in all Japan (most of them H3!).

General Akiyama's plan was to open a frontal assault, plus the flank by Hiraga Genshin's fine yari cavalry.

The plan carried out pretty well, although a large number of Takeda soldiers lost their lives under the arrows of the best archers in the nation.

Seeing the great casualty on the left, Takeda taisho bravely charged his fellow peasants in, and with the help of the slow-running yari samurai, the Takeda army has completely intruded into Imagawa's right!

On the distant Imagawa left flank, one group of ashigaru of Takeda was almost eliminated, but the supporting fire of Takeda's archers never stopped. The other group of ashigaru had successfully flanked the center of the Imagawa archers...

The battle was intense - nearly half of the men were killed already...

But Takeda also paid an expensive price - including the loss of Hiraga Genshin.

Mikawa : (R0)Takeda 276 vs. (R4)Imagawa 47

The 47 men if Imagawa really stayed in Mikawa.

With a new general again, Takeda challenged the archer-less bridge province with 276 men.

Using the ashigaru general as the bait, Imagawa's elite yari samurai marched over the bridge once more. However, this time these proud elites barely reached the end of the bridge. Shot down by the Takeda archers one by one, they routed and eventually concealed in a distant forest.

And this time Imagawa Yoshimoto did not came forward to stop Takeda.
With his bodyguards, Imagawa Yoshimoto marched away, leaving the bridge defenseless.

If Yoshimoto charged onto the bridge again, he might prevail - because Takeda archers had depleted their arrows.

Imagawa Yoshimoto, although perhaps one of the bravest daimyo in history, could not escape his destiny of being destroyed.

It shall become a matter of time till Takeda unite the entire northern Japan!

Also, the legendary general, the son of Takeda Nobutora is going to mature soon...
