| − | Borned Nagao Kagetora, Uesugi Kenshin (上杉謙信), the "Dragon of Echigo" engaged in bloody conflicts against Takeda Shingen (武田信玄), a rival damiyo after his conquest of Shinano province. In the fifth year of Eroku(永禄) or 1562, he and his ally, Hōjō Ujiyasu (北条氏康) managed to cut off Takeda and his ally, but Takeda was held up over a river by ice blockage, forcing him into taking a castle since he could not retreat and faced Takeda at the gate because of this debacle. A western example with even more severe repercussion would be Napoleon's terrifying losses from the Russian campaign of 1812, and how Hitler underestimated the Russian winter in 1940. |
