Its been reported that after hearing news of Uesagi Kenshin's death, Oda Nobunaga announced in triumph: "The empire is now mine".

[achmadtitofauzan]

Wow i'm surprised because it's quite rare for someone to make a video about this battle

Credit to Kenshin using everything to his advantage.
Even more credit to Oda Nobunaga deciding to bite the bullet and retreat with most of his army intact rather than doubling down on a losing situation and losing the rest of his army.

Uesugi Kenshin and takeda Shingen were the masters of their games. The tactical genius of these two was unfathomable. Their 10 years long clash of sieges and counter sieges and maneuvers against each other were beyond brilliant. Honestly speaking by sheer tactical genius there were none at the time to counter them except each other. This battle was the only time Oda Nobunaga went against one of them and the result was apparent. I would call him extremely lucky that both of these generals passed away before any of them could move against him and was succeeded by idiots.

The poem that Kenshin wrote at the end was so beautiful, "Year in year out all but a dream" gave me goosebumps.

Holy hell this video is awesome.
Uesugi were my fav after takeda in shogun, gonna try a campaign as uesugi in shogun 2 now.
Awesome how it was sake that killed him, not a mortal man. Bishemonten indeed.

Personally, I liked the older battle maps where cavalry has the dash and infantry the X's and so on. Really enjoyed the video on the sengoku period. It's crazy how Nobunaga died by a general betraying him.

Last battle ever expected to be covered but this channel fails to disappoint. Yet again impressive work done!.

Man, the Ikko-ikki are the worst. You need more priests than you can actually train to convert their provinces. So much micro management -.-

[Akechi]

Thank you very much HistoryMarche, Uesugi Kenshin is my favorite daimyo of Sengoku Jidai and I believe his victory at Tedorigawa is his biggest victory in all his military life!

[DavidSaintloth]

That decoy maneuver was straight brilliant.

[Auto]

Damn!!! That poem at the last. Those were the last thoughts of a true warrior, who isn't ashamed of what he has done in life. No regrets.

[HoH]

Wow, this was insanely well done. Never seen it before (popped up in my recommendations).

[denniscleary]

Always enjoy the battles of Japan, truly bloody and the definition of warfare

[SebaIzu]

Thank you, HistoryMarche. I didn't know of this battle. Always a pleasure to know more about this time period and the mighty Dragon of Echigo. And beautiful poem by him to end the video!

[nomooon]

It speaks volumes that Uesugi Kenshin only allied Takeda after their crushing defeat at Nagashino. It shows that Kenshin did not expect Takeda to get crushed so easily. Seeing how he handled Oda here, shows that he thought Takeda could've at least stalemated the Oda-Tokugawa alliance.

Could you maybe do a video on Eugene of Savoy? He was a brilliant general, even Napoleon considered him one of the seven greatest commanders in history. However he is rarely talked about.

[YMZaki]

There's nothing like using the night to his advantage and won deceive battles. And he had done it AGAIN. Uesugi Kenshin for you, people!

[ahmedgalal]

Amazing documentary, always fascinated about Japanese history.

[mrnobody]

Uesugi Kenshin is such an interesting historical figure; a philosopher general if there ever was one.
