Pillars of the Wu family

On the evening of April 21st, the sunset glow covered half of the sky, and the waves and tides on the sea outside Dewa, the last ray of light on the day faded away. Under the heavy twilight, a huge fleet approached Tagawa County from the sea.

In front of you is Sakata Port, the most important commercial port in Dewa Country. However, this port, which used to be extremely prosperous in the past, is now extremely depressed. Not long after the sun sets, the whole port is quiet, as if this is not a famous commercial port in Yuao. It's just an inconspicuous small fishing village.

Since the war at the end of February, this important trade hub connected to Yu-Ao has fallen into a dismal scene. Because of the impact of the war, the road leading to Sakata Port has been cut off, and those who want to leave the port cannot get out. If you can't get in, you're just stuck between wanting to advance and not wanting to retreat. Economic stability has a crucial relationship with regional peace. Any war in Tagawa County will affect the trade stability of Sakata Port.

This fleet is a powerful naval force from the Kira family. As early as in March, when Kira Yoshihito was determined to take revenge on the people of Dewa, the Kira Navy acted quickly and sent back the ship Xiaozao pretending to be a business traveler to investigate near Sakata Port. Landed in a nearby small harbor and collected a lot of valuable information in Sakata Port and Tagawa County.

In the next half month, armies from all walks of life in Echigo gathered at Naoetsu Port, boarded a ship and rushed to Niigata Town in Shimoetsu for the second assembly and rest. The town of Niigata quickly formulated a detailed plan for attacking the Dewa country, and announced that it would officially launch the battle when the supplies, war horses and armaments were ready.

It took nearly half an hour for the fleet to slowly approach Sakata Port, and it slowly stopped when it was only one mile away from the port.After a while, an advance team consisting of sixty Xiaozao ships was separated from the fleet.Sixty Xiaozao quickly dived into Sakata Port in the cool sea breeze.A large group of heavy armored warriors came out from the morning. Each of them wore the most advanced equipment in the world, holding a mace and shield in their hands, and wore a battle ax and scimitar on their waists. Some of them had heavy vines hanging on their backs Bow and cast iron arrows.

This elite army of 600 people hid in the woods by the port as soon as they got off the boat, and did not emerge again until a few moments later when they saw dozens of figures emerging from the port and making frog-like croaking sounds. This ninja in black is the Kira ninja who used various means to sneak into Sakata Port in the past half month.

If you want to occupy Sakata Port silently, it is absolutely impossible without the assistance of the internal response.As long as there is a little abnormal movement, it is very likely to wake up the Dewa National Army in Sakata Port. At that time, they only need to light a few houses to send a warning to the nearby defenders, which will expose the Kira Army in advance. The trend of the attack made this raid lose its suddenness and affect the outcome of the battle.

Under the guidance of Kira Ninja, six hundred elite samurai sneaked into the town of Sakata Port. The leading vanguard general was Nagao Joharu. There is only one mile outside Kamezaki City.It is to blockade Watanabe Takatsuna's Onodera's [-] troops, if he accidentally disturbs even one of the defenders.It is possible that all previous efforts of the plan will be in vain.

Nagao Joharu has a large number of people and is a samurai of Yishui. After being familiar with the terrain and the garrison points of the garrison in Sakata Port, he cleared out a few groups of patrolling garrison without much difficulty, and sneaked into the port town quietly. At this time, the defenders in the port town are sleeping soundly, completely unaware that they are walking towards the bottomless abyss step by step.

A planned massacre is the most boring thing, but this boring process is a test of patience and vigilance. The scattered Kira samurai got into the shrine and wiped the necks of each sleeping samurai and ashigaru with special sharp knives. For the first knife, some skilled warriors are good at twisting the neck, and it is also very efficient without blood and sound.

Nagao Joharu's actions were very quick and decisive, and all the elite samurai he led were experienced in battles. He took only a moment to kill the first camp, and then rushed to the other two camps. At this point, when the whole process was completed, the sleeping townspeople and merchants in Sakata Port remained completely unchanged.

In fact, the terrain of Sakata Port is relatively low, and both sides are blocked by mountains. You don’t have to worry about being spotted by the Dewa Nationalist Army on the other side of Takadate Mountain. You just need to pay attention to the movement of Kamezaki Castle located within the range of Sakata Port, and try not to let it go. The Izuba defenders in the city can easily strangle the defenders in the city by lighting up the house. As for the shaking of a few torches, it is not a problem at all.

A moment later, a bonfire symbolizing the success of the mission was ignited in Sakata Port, and a strong sea breeze blew away the thick clouds covering the night sky, revealing the bright moon. , and after a while, a fleet of ships sailed to Sakata Port, and it seemed that they had no intention of occupying this important port from the beginning to the end.

Kira Yoshitoki stood on the Anzhai boat and looked at the moonlight in the distance, and invited Shira Sadatsu to tell him: "Sadatsu! I ordered you to lead a surprise attack on Kamezaki Castle with three thousand foot light, and the rest of the Ninja Army has already contacted Takazuna in the city. , so after you act, they will also cooperate with you to open the city gate and attack from the inside and the outside, so your task is to strangle the [-] Onodera troops at the lowest cost."

"Yes!" Shile Zhentong knelt on one knee and took the order to retreat, and the three thousand elites followed him slowly and marched in the team without a word. This time, a small half of the Echigo National Army was incorporated into the team , It can be regarded as the first attempt at military integration, and he also knows that his burden is heavy.

In fact, only 1 troops disembarked, and the remaining troops turned around and headed southward at full speed, where they would land at Kamo Port, which had been quietly captured. It was a very small fishing port, but happened to be the closest port to Mipo Castle. It took another hour for the huge fleet to arrive at the port of Kamo. The [-] troops quietly walked down the ship's side. The sound of the surging waves was the best cover, and the only heavy Footsteps were also muffled.

It took nearly half an hour for the Antaka ship where Yoshiki Kira was on to enter the tank. By the time he got off the side of the boat, the world had gradually come to the second watch. Yoshiki Kira stared at the scenery in Kamo Port coldly, enchanting In the dark night, the thin mountain mist shrouded the distant mountains on both sides, giving this small port town a strange feeling.

The night is dark, and there is no light in the silent night under the Kamo Port Outer Scale. The Kira Army, which has experienced several night raids, has been able to master every skill in night raids. There is no fire, no noise, and it is as quiet as a person. Ma Fukou's idea of ​​marching has always run through the whole army, and even the residents in the port town are not aware of the silent action.

The 1 elite slowly entered the team outside the port town with solid steps. When Yoshito Kira came to the town, they had already completed the team and waited quietly for orders. Yoshiki Kira stood in front of the battle in heavy armor. He was inspecting this army of hundreds of battles, and suddenly shouted: "The whole army obeys the order, the goal is to climb Gaoguan Mountain, bypass the ponds on both sides of Mipo City, and surprise the Dewa National Army!"
