A Painful Victory

Overview

Kasahara Kiyoshige, the warlord of Shiga Castle in Shinano, raises an army against the Takeda clan. Harunobu is irritated at being still unable to assume full control of Shinano. Takeda’s army advances on Shinano to capture the castle. Itagaki’s troop defeats the reinforcements sent by Kasahara’s ally. Although Kansuke proposes that Harunobu urge Kasahara to surrender, Harunobu commands his troops to behead the enemies and put the heads around the castle.
