Chapter 484: Encirclement for reinforcements, Uesugi Military God

Tsushima is the largest isolated island to the west of Wajima. From a strategic point of view, it is the gateway to the archipelago. Once occupied by the Xia army, it is like an enemy squatting at the door of the house every day, still holding the key to the door.

As former daimyo, they had some grudges against each other and were very particular about their status. Kamishiro Kanenobu had issues with famous daimyo such as Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga, so naturally he did not want to be inferior to each other.

He led the war on Tsushima alone, firstly to make up for his past mistakes, and secondly, he could still lead an army on his own without having to act under their command.

Long before the Xia army arrived, he had already prepared a defensive strategy of turning the corner. After all, facing the Xia fleet with strong ships and powerful artillery, they no longer had an advantage at sea. If they wanted to defend Tsushima, they had to Can rely on the island's defense and cooperate with ships at sea to stabilize the situation.

But after all calculations, I didn't expect that the Xia Emperor's fleet came so quickly. The island's defenses were less than half built before they came directly to kill them.

The beacon calling for help rose into the sky, and the generals Shimazu Tadayao and Yasuda Hianmoto who were deployed in the northeast of Tsushima Island should be able to see it.

Shangshan Jianxin, who was sitting on the low stool in the big tent, pressed his knees with his hands, frowned, and closed his eyes, thinking about many strategic plans ahead.

At this moment, just as he thought, in the waters northeast of Tsushima Island, fifteen Japanese ships rushing to rescue were rushing towards the island in the wind and waves. It was still more than thirty miles away, and the coastline of the island could be vaguely seen. .

The sea water splashed at the outlet line covered with barnacles. The Japanese general named Yasuda Kiangen raised his face and looked towards Tsushima Island. Several black shadows could be vaguely seen sweeping the sky.

"what is that?"

"It's the Xia people's fleet. They are ambushing here...speed up immediately and get closer to the coastline!"

When his vision stabilized and he saw more than a dozen black figures on the sea level in front of him, his expression suddenly changed.

puff!

The moment he flew forward, he was pierced by an arrow with a whirlwind of fire. With the terrifying force of the arrow, it flew directly to the back, and with another bang, he was nailed to the door panel of the ship building.

"I have only beheaded Japanese soldiers before, but today I have a chance to get the heads of some Japanese generals."

The second sentence was spoken by the name Shimazu Tadanao. He was also one of the retainers of Uesugi Kanenobu. Not only the retainers, but also the fierce generals known as the Uesugi Tigers also came to this world, and now they are here He was confident in what he said about Tsushima's military camp. After all, there were two Uesugi tigers there. Even if they were defeated, they would be able to hold on until reinforcements arrived.

"The Xia Kingdom's troops are coming fiercely, but Lord Uesugi is a military god, so he shouldn't be frightened by the Xia Kingdom's army."

At his level, unless it hits his body directly, he will move and casually knock down the arrow.

when……

The arrow was like a thunder from the sky, with a roaring sound, it shot directly from the string, flew over the sea more than thirty feet, and smashed into the guardrail of the Japanese ship with a bang. The five-foot-six-inch Japanese general reacted, He abandoned his bow and flew out.

The warships under his feet were none other than Su Chen's Northern Fleet, but some of them were taken by Gan Ning to escort the Tang army to land, and the Japanese ships that were entangled in the port were gone. The rest are here.

"I finally have a chance to be a navy general... haha."

Seeing the opponent's figure clearly, Lu Bu suddenly felt offended as if his beard had been stroked by a monkey. He stretched out his hand and grabbed him back. The guard handed him a long bow, took half a step, and suddenly pulled the bow string to full. His whole body was instantly on fire. Average color.

At the moment, there is no time to think about reaching the designated landing position. Encountering Xia's warships at sea is bound to be a fierce battle. However, the Japanese on board hurriedly steered the ship to turn, and the seventeen Xia warships Qinglong and Huya on the opposite side also began to attack. Turn around and outflank their path.

The waves rolled, and on the Qinglong warship at the front, a figure stood holding a halberd, wearing a three-pronged purple gold crown with red feathers swaying in the wind, a flower robe covered with an animal face and a swallowing head, and a chain armor stroking, and the other hand pressed on The exquisite lion man put it on, looking forward like a torch. As he got closer, the corners of his mouth slowly opened, revealing a sneer.

"The beacon fires are burning in seven places, and the military situation is urgent."

Shimazu Tadanao was speaking boldly, and suddenly frowned. He moved his eyes away from the island and towards the sea due west. He took a sudden step, pressed his hands on the guardrail, and looked out of the ship. Get out half of your body.

He casually caught an arrow that was swirling in the strong wind and threw it at the bow of the ship. Lu Bu's eyes gradually closed slightly. The arrow just now was shot by a Japanese general wearing an exaggerated helmet on the Japanese ship opposite.

The warships took a shortcut and gradually rushed in front of the fifteen Japanese ships. Scattered arrows began to shoot from the opponent's ships. Lu Bu stood on the bow of the ship and did not even look at the arrows that passed by.

"Ok?"

next moment.

Yasuda Hiangen and the Japanese soldiers on the deck looked at Shimazu Tadanao who was hit by an arrow across the door panel of the ship's building. They were slightly speechless. Yasuda Hiangen then looked at the Xia Kingdom's Qinglong warship that was already lying in front of them. The Xia general who was standing on the bow of the ship still raised his hand and held the bow. He swallowed his saliva and waited until he saw the flag with the word 'Lü' hanging on the ship.

And the armor on the Xia general's body reminded Yasuda Xianyuan of a person he had read in books - Wen Hou Lu Bu!

Although the book Three Kingdoms had not yet been written at that time, it did not prevent them from understanding Chinese generals from other aspects, especially those in the late Han Dynasty. For example, their head of the Uesugi family especially liked to read "Mencius".

"I... unexpectedly met Lu Bu... He is a cavalry commander... Why did he come to the sea?!" Yasuda Xianyuan shouted with some collapse in his heart.

Immediately, he waved his hand hurriedly: "Turn the rudder, keep distance from Xia Guo's ships, don't get close!"

However, it was too late, the warships on both sides were already very close.

Lu Bu dropped the bow in his hand and threw it back to his bodyguard, with a somewhat resentful tone: "It's too short, I lost my accuracy!"

The original plan was to hit the opponent's head with one arrow, but he didn't expect that the opponent was too short, and the bow of the ship was bumpy, so his accuracy was a bit inaccurate. But what Lu Bu didn't expect was that the opponent actually jumped up to avoid it. As a result, he jumped. The missed arrow was caught.

He threw the bow to the guards, took the halberd again, and raised his left hand: "Bombard the tail of this Japanese ship. As for this one..."

The raised left hand is clenched into a fist.

"... pick up the ship and go up with a certain family to fight!"

When the order was issued, the war drums on the ship suddenly sounded. One by one, the Qinglong and Huya warships were lying in front of the Japanese fleet. When the three iron cannons on the ship's side were roaring one after another, the leading Qinglong warship was approaching the nearest Japanese general on the opposite side. Ship.

The moment of docking.

The navy soldiers threw flying tigers to grab the guardrail of the opponent's ship and tied it to their own mast. They put the ship planks over one by one. The Xia soldiers who had been prepared for a long time rushed out of the cabin, holding up their shields and stepping on the shaking ship planks. , rushed to the deck of the Japanese ship opposite, and fought with the Japanese soldiers.

Yasuda Kiangen was chopping in the crowd with his pheasant, and when he kicked a Xia soldier off the side of the ship with his shield, the ship under his feet suddenly shook. He turned back hurriedly, and several of his men flew away like cannonballs. Going out, an extremely tall and powerful figure slowly stood up from the deck from a squatting posture. The square-shaped painted halberd in his hand was taller than the two Japanese.

Lu Bu...

When the opponent turned around, his sword eyebrows were thrust into his forehead, and his eyes were majestic, Yasuda Kian'an opened his mouth, then roared "Ah!", held the naginata in both hands and faced the opponent.

boom!

The pheasant knife flew into the sky, and the body of more than five feet spurted out blood, rushed out of the warship, and fell into the sea with a 'boom' sound, causing countless splashes.

'Who did I kick out just now? '

Lu Bu casually drew a half-moon with the halberd in his hand, sweeping away a group of Japanese soldiers that were only as high as his chest. He looked at the naginata still dangling on the deck with a puzzled look on his face. …

The confrontation at sea continued. The Uesugi family's scouts waiting at the shoreline watched the scene and, like monkeys on horseback, quickly brought the message back to the military camp thirty miles away.

Along the way, you can often see comrades who have retreated from the front line running wildly in the wilderness, or hiding somewhere with low morale.

In the few hours since the Xia Kingdom's army landed, they began to sweep through the wilderness without giving them any chance to send messages. The opponent's rigor was completely beyond their understanding.

The envoy flew back to the military camp with a small flag with the Uesugi family crest on it, and told Kananobu Kamishiro, who was having a meal in the tent, about what he saw.

Bang!

Bamboo chopsticks and bamboo bowls were smashed to the ground. After a moment, the envoy screamed, covered his bleeding mouth and nose, and rushed out of the tent while urinating.

The imperial soldiers outside the tent pricked up their ears, listening to the angry roars of the Uesugi family leader inside, and then gradually became quiet. They did not dare to look inside, and they could only pray that in this war, the Uesugi family master could come up with something to defeat the enemy. style of play.

At this time, Kananobu's face turned blue in the tent, and then he saw the two generals beside him, the two Uesugi tigers that Shimadzu had heard about before: Nagao Kagetora and Uesugi Teruotora.

The two of them are proud of their height and impressive martial arts among the Japanese.

Around the two of them, there are Naoe Keizuna, Kakizaki Keie, Usami Sadamitsu, and Amakasu Keagemochi who are known as the Four Heavenly Kings of Uesugi.

"The Xia people are indeed powerful. They surrounded the area to provide reinforcements... I should have understood why they stopped in the wilderness and were no longer eager to attack."

Shangshang Jianxin forced out a stiff smile and tried to reassure the generals and retainers under his command.

"Master, since there is no way for reinforcements to arrive, we can try to ask for help from the island." The speaker was Naoe Keizuna. As one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Uesugi family, he was very aware of Kamishiro Kanenobu's stubborn temperament, but he still couldn't help it. Open your mouth and voice the offer.

Having said that, he was ready to accept Shang Shang Jianxin's angry scolding, but Shang Shang Jianxin was surprisingly silent over there and sat silently on the low stool.

"Opposite us are the generals of the Tang Dynasty... We have heard their names before. As the once glorious Tang Dynasty, and their military generals, they are the goals we yearn for. Now that they stand in front of them, they use practical actions to Tell them that once is once again, their time is over!”

Kamishiro Kanenobu was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke. He stood up and glanced around, scanning the faces of the Four Heavenly Kings and Uesugi Erhu. When he saw their doubtful and excited faces, Kamishiro Kananobu understood. Military morale can still be used.

He was once known as the God of War, how could he not have some means.

A few steps away, Kakizaki Kage was standing next to him, expressing his worries and warning:

"Master, please don't be careless. It's better to ask for help from Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen on the other side of the island first." At this point, he was afraid that Shangshan Kananobu might misunderstand him as a coward, so he quickly added: "I'm not afraid of death. I'm afraid of death." Even Tsushima Island has not been defended."

"Do not seek!"

Kamishiro Kananobu said in a low and hoarse voice: "I will never bow to Oda Nobunaga and Takeda Shingen and let them think that the Dragon of Echigo is inferior to them!"

Shangshang Jianxin, who wears a deer antler bag on his head, also has his own dignity. The people he mentioned were all enemies with him at that time, and his brains were about to be knocked out.

Now even if he is in the same camp, he will never beg the other party to send troops.

He subconsciously touched his favorite sword Jihe Yimonji on his waist, slowly grasped the handle, then raised his head and looked at the people in the tent: "Do you still remember the battle with Takeda Shingen? I I intend to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the opponent's camp and kill someone who is caught off guard!"

Someone frowned: "At this time?"

"Takeda Shingen was also so strong at that time. Perhaps, General Tang was also like this at this time! Go down and prepare!"

"Hai!"

The Four Heavenly Kings and Uesugi Shuanghu saluted one after another and shouted loudly in the tent. After Shangshan Yanxin watched them leave, he stood up and walked to the tent entrance, looking at the sky to the west and narrowing his eyes.

"The Dragon of Echigo is not called for nothing!"

He narrowed his eyes, clenched his fist, and slammed it on the palm of his other hand.

……

It was still dark, and the soldiers and horses sweeping the field were returning to the military camp one by one.

The climate on the island is humid. In the evening, the whistling sea breeze makes people's eardrums hurt.

In the camp, the bonfire stretched, but the Tang Army camp was not quiet. Many soldiers gathered around the bonfire, waiting for the meal, and talked excitedly about their achievements this time.

"The Japanese are so damn short. The knife hit their forehead and it was almost impossible to pull it out."

"Where do these dwarfs get the confidence to compete with me, Daxia?"

"Whatever, he offended us anyway and killed us people. Even if the King of Heaven comes, he will kill him!"

"...However, there are some disadvantages. He is short and poor, and his weapons are all made of bamboo."

In the flickering firelight, the sky was getting dark. On the pitch-black field, a crowd of figures moved forward in the dark like a wave. Among them were many war ninjas wearing black scarves and carrying swords on their backs.

at the same time.

In the Tang Army's camp, in the military tent, Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong, Li Xuanba, Yuchi Gong, and Yuwen Chengdu were eating together, chatting and discussing the next action.

"If it were Qin who wanted to save the morale of the army, he would take this opportunity to conduct a night attack."

Behind the long desk, Qin Qiong put down his chopsticks, wiped his hands, and said to Yu Chigong, Cheng Yaojin and others: "Soldiers have no permanent strength, and water has no permanent shape. The Japanese general who claims to be a dragon or a military god will definitely not let this happen. Be willing to fail!”

"What do you think?"

"You figure it out, I'll eat first."

Yuwen Chengdu was assigned to the Tang army's camp by Su Chen, and was a little unhappy. Now that he had followed him, he had to listen to Qin Qiong's orders. After all, he was not a Japanese, and he liked to defeat the superiors.
