Pillars of the Wu family

The shooting ports on the Antaka ship are all placed on the sides of the front half of the hull and the bow part, and the stern is not only unprotected, but also has no shooting ports. In this way, it has evolved into a unilateral passive beating by Noguchi Fuyonaga, and the Antaka ship’s The main cabin is placed on the top of the ship and exposed to the open air.

The samurai has this advantage. Once in battle, no matter how dangerous it is, they will definitely stand at the forefront. At this time, the commanders of the three ships behind hold their katanas and stand on the top of the ship to direct the sailors to counterattack. Such a good chance of killing Needless to say, the samurai of the Kira family will not miss it either. Naito Masashige and Takikawa Masashige relied on their powerful attack power to snipe and kill one by one.

In the last Battle of Fukakusa, Takikawa Masashige was unable to show off his iron cannon skills because of the burden of supporting the Kira Navy to cut off the retreat of the Mikawa Issunbu. After a while, he aimed at a samurai wearing gorgeous armor on an Ataka ship, and shot him directly. The opponent was shot in the face without even responding. If the entire helmet was smashed, he would definitely die.

Masaari Naito was even faster. He aimed at the high-ranking samurai on the ship that turned the bow of the ship, raised his hand and shot the samurai in the throat with an arrow. Beside the samurai, another full-armored samurai The senior samurai retreated alertly, and before he could take a few steps, another arrow pierced his breastplate and stabbed him in the heart.

With a distance of only twenty rooms, it was not difficult for Naito Masanari to penetrate the defense of the large armor with bow skills and physical strength. What he used was not the old square bamboo bow before, but the new square bamboo bow specially made by the Ogasawara family. It is a synthetic bow made of four pieces of bamboo wrapped around a wooden core. It is also a kind of bow with the greatest range and power in the Middle Ages, and its power is also considerable.

This kind of bow already has a good armor-piercing ability, which is a notch better than the relatively mediocre heavy rattan bow, especially the elaborate production from the Ogasawara family in Kyoto. An ordinary square bamboo bow takes a year, but Naito Masanari's The first square bamboo bow made by Ogasawara Tanemori, the current governor of the Ogasawara family. This bow is naturally stronger than ordinary square bamboo bows. This is also a gift from the Ogasawara family in Kyoto to make a good relationship. .

The commanders of the two Antaka ships were all killed, which made the Awaji navy immediately uneasy, and fell into chaos without orders. Some uncalm sailors ran out of the cabin and shot at the Kira fleet behind Bowgo. The samurai who dared to show their heads all became the targets of Kira's samurai practicing archery. Every samurai who showed his head had to be greeted by several arrows at the same time, and soon fell into the river to feed the fish.

A series of waves of bow and arrow suppression, plus iron cannon bombardment of the hemp holes on the deck, put a lot of pressure on the members of the Awaji Navy, but Noguchi Fuyunaga was so anxious at this time that he was helpless. He couldn't think of any way, even one of his disciples, Noguchi Changzong, had died in battle to give him a chance to escape. He didn't think of running away until now, what a death.

At this time, the Yodogawa people had already climbed onto the stern of the Antaka boat, and the Kira navy weakened the attack tacitly. When the boarding battle just started, the result of the victory could be announced. The Awaji navy had already lost after suffering successive blows. The fighting spirit quickly surrendered, and the battle only lasted for a quarter of an hour before it was over.

Noguchi Fuyunaga finally came to his senses and issued an order to break out of the encirclement, but it was a pity that the time was a bit late, and General Antaka who was surrounded by the public could only resist and was killed in the end, and it was Yodogawa Heisuke who cut off his head.

The next step is to clean up the battlefield and clear up the wreckage. There is no time to deal with the two blown-up Anzhai boats where they are left. The Iron Artillery Team and the Archer Team immediately boarded the two stranded Anzhai boats and made preparations. After an hour, they will chase after the baited Shunship. When the team returned, they were dumbfounded when they saw the three Anzhai boats blocking the river. When they approached, they realized that the damaged deck and many traces of the battle on the Anzhai boats had not been eliminated, which made them immediately alert.

But at this time, it was too late. The Mikawa people of Kirayoshi's time appeared in Tobabara on the west bank of Kamogawa and Fushimibara on the east bank respectively. After entering the passage on both sides of the Kamogawa, the iron cannons and arrows on the Antaka boat poured crazily on these boats, and the Sanhe people along the two banks of the river also shot at the boats in the center of the Kamogawa at a distance of more than a dozen. The sound of thunder and killing shook the sky, and it didn't take much effort for these people to surrender.

The fly in the ointment is that there are still a few boats that turn around and flee upstream of the duck boat when they see the opportunity. For these unwilling people, Yoshitoki Kira also used this hour to make sufficient arrangements. The grenadier team had already detoured here to intercept, and these lucky ships soon sank to the bottom of the river in the roaring flames.

"Wan victorious!" When Kato Kyoaki heard that the last ship sank in flames and explosions, everyone present jumped up. This exhausting water battle finally ended in victory.

But it is a pity that Yodogawa Sanemon, who was used as a bait, is still dead. He and his subordinates have all become the heads tied on several closed ships. These dozens of warriors held a funeral, and Yodogawa Hirasuke, who had made great contributions in this battle, knelt in front of his father's corpse and wept bitterly.

Yoshitoki Kira said with a serious face: "We have defeated the Miyoshi family again! This time we have completely broken the myth that the Miyoshi family is invincible by land and water! The warriors who died for this battle will surely be reborn in the Paradise of Paradise after death, and the dead have passed away. Don't forget the victories these warriors earned with their lives! Always remember the hard-won of each victory."

"Ha! I will definitely remember the teachings of the owner of the hall!" Heisuke Yodogawa led a group of Yodogawa people to kneel down and worship on the ground. This was the first time that the Yodogawa people paid homage to Kirayoshi with the retainer ceremony, and he also expressed that the Yodogawa people will completely surrender in the future Under the banner of the Kira family.

After the funeral, Yoshiki Kira offered rewards to those who had meritorious deeds. Except for the ships, all the seized materials were divided into equal parts and distributed to everyone who participated in the war. The Yodogawa people who have cooperated with the family once also know the style of the Kira family very well. The salvage of corpses to clean up the wreckage of the battlefield, and those sunken ships that cannot block the river are all funded by Kira Yoshitoki, and the funds are drawn from the total profit calculated from this war.

The work was naturally Yodogawa Heisuke who killed Noguchi Fuyunaga. His father died and he automatically inherited his father's name. He changed his name to Yodogawa Mitsuemon. Yodogawa Mikunaga personally accepted him as a retainer, and selected 200 people from the Yodogawa navy to join the Kira Navy, and appointed him as the head of the navy, starting from the grassroots.

The second skill was given to Takikawa Masashige. He and Naito Masamari also sniped and killed a commander An Takafune, but he not only completed a beautiful sniper kill, but also showed his skills in the next sniper kill several Awaji sailors in a row The senior samurai, including Noguchi Nagamune, and Naito Masanari, as the bow general, did not mean to be different from the Iron Cannon Team, and went to clean up the escaped miscellaneous fish after a little comparison of their skills.
