Warring States Eagle

Honshu Island, Anyi Country Fire Standing Rock.

With the arrival of more than 400 ships, all under the banner of "Marukai" and the Yellow Hachiman Banner, the Tajima Murakami Navy and the Konoya Navy who came temporarily, Mori Moto was finally ready to launch a fatal surprise attack on Itsukushima.

But before sailing, Mao Liyuan personally beheaded a spy of the Tao family army to sacrifice to the sea, and then shouted to the whole army: "The target Yandao, you all go forward bravely, the life and death of the Mao Li family is all here First World War! Now divide the whole army into three divisions: I, Taro Takamoto, Jiro Motoharu, together with the Kawanouchi Police Force, crossed Seizaki and Suginoura, and marched along the east coast of Itsukushima to the side of the Tao family army. Afterwards, Baozhipu landed ashore; Matashiro Takakage and Numata police officers went straight to Ono Seto, then turned to direct drive, landed near the shrine, and lurked between Tonoka and Miyao Castle; The army is waiting in the waters near Yandao. On the morning of October [-]st, listen to my order and fight out from three sides at once, making sure to take down the head of Tao Chanmen."

It was already evening at this time, the Seto Inland Sea was windy, the waves were surging, and the wind and rain were mixed. In such a sea condition, even the pirates of Mishima were overwhelmed, so they immediately said to Mao Liyuan: "The weather is not good at this time." Good, why don't you march when the weather is calm?"

But Mao Liyuan scolded sharply: "Tao Chanmen just thought that our army would not dare to march in the weather at this moment. How could our army let go of such a great opportunity? The whole army will advance and never retreat, and prepare for an overnight battle." The so-called " "One night battle" refers to a battle where the winner is determined overnight, and the requirement is not to ask about life and death, but only to win.

So under the personal supervision of Mao Liyuan, more than 500 ships were all extinguished.Walking silently in the storm.Fortunately it is.Since it was still in the evening and the sky was not completely dark, and they were familiar with the waters in this area, they could barely move on.On the warship, the soldiers of the Maori army also silently looked at the dark beaches, dense forests, and valleys of Itsukushima. The rain mixed with the strong wind beat on the side of the ship, scabbards, and bows, making crackling sounds...

Two hours later, the team led by Mori Motoji, Mori Takamoto, and Yoshikawa Motoharu all boarded Baozhipu.Without saying a word, everyone watched the fleet return. They were already ready to break the boat, and then headed towards the assault direction predicted by Hongzhong Longbao, at the end of the game.There are mostly deep valleys and cliffs on the way, and the Maori army marched silently in the mountains and forests that covered the sky and the sun. From time to time, some people responded to each other with the "victory" password to prevent getting lost. , there is only one target.Toronbo's headquarters in Tonoka.

On the other road, Numata of Takakage Kobayakawa.They also arrived at Yandao in the storm, and Tao Longfang's fleet lay across in front of them. Only by rushing over there could they complete the latent mission arranged in advance. Coincidentally, the Tao family's navy that was originally in charge of defending here was killed by They were dispatched to the waters near Miyao Castle to guard against the Mori family's support for Miyao Castle. In addition, it was already dark at this time, and there was a gap in the defensive area due to the transfer of this part of the navy. Under the paralysis of the naval army, the Numata people actually entered Itsukushima secretly!

In the middle of the night, thousands of Kobayakawa soldiers went ashore to the other side of Tonoka, and quickly made preparations for battle, waiting for the signal to attack the next day.

At 1555:[-] a.m. on October [-]st, the first year of Hongzhi ([-]), more than [-] Maori troops climbed up the precipitous end of the game, and the main camp of the Tao family's army at Tonomaoka, as well as Miyao Castle, could be seen in full view.The storm has subsided, the sea and the sky are in the distance, and the pines and waves rise and fall one after another. The five-storied pagoda wind chime on Tazhigang makes a heavenly sound in the wind. The flags, fences, and camps of the Tao family army can be seen at a glance in the morning light. Maruyama's Mayin banner became the most conspicuous target.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

At this time, Mao Liyuan, who was pouting his legs, beat the drum himself: "The god of 800 million bows and arrows blesses, the whole army assaults!" The more than [-] Maoli army neatly erected banners, knives and guns, and shouted three times in unison. The sound reverberated in the valley, and the whole Itsukushima seemed to be trembling, and then descended like a tiger and wolf, rushing towards the tower hill!

The Tao army, which had been resting and slack in the wind and rain for [-] days and nights, was caught off guard. The defense line around Toanoka was instantly breached by the Maori army. The Maori army was one against ten. When the spear pierced and could not be pulled out, they drew their knives and slashed them. The ribs were drawn and stabbed violently, and when the ribs were broken, they held bows and arrows and iron cannons to shoot, rushing and rushing again, with no rules to control the chaos, hitting, rushing and chasing, the dead bodies of the Tao family army spread all over the valley, temples and villages. Streams, those with big fates also ran wildly. Tao Longfang, who came back to his senses, hurriedly boarded Maru Mountain, waving his army fan and loudly shouting at his subordinates, but he was still unable to organize a new line of defense. Instead, he was attacked by the Maori army. Centripetal intensive assault.

At this time, the Kobayakawa army who heard the sound of fighting and killing at Toanoka, and the hundreds of defenders of Miyao Castle also shouted long live, and rushed out. On the battlefield, they were squeezed to the point of being unable to advance and retreat, and their superiority in numbers turned into a nightmare, falling into chaos.

In the chaotic battle, the battle-tested Tao Longfang gradually came to his senses. He first organized the elite bannermen around him to resist the attack of the Maori army.Tao Longfang knew that although the Maori army had succeeded in the surprise attack, their numbers were limited after all. As long as they persevered, the victory would still be his, even if it was a bit embarrassing.

But at this moment, another group of troops killed at the end of the game completely caused the will of the Tao family army to collapse.The irony is that this team is the subordinate of Tao Longfang's chief general Hongzhong Longbao.They were originally stationed at the end of the game, but the Maori army did not entangle with them, but went straight to the tower hill. The helpless Hongzhong Longbao father and son were eager to be the savior, so they had to follow the Maori army and headed towards the tower hill. run down.

The unknown Tao family's army was in a sudden attack, and their position was shaken. At this time, they saw Hongzhong Long's team also appearing from the end of the game like a "magic soldier descending from heaven". They thought it was the successor of the Maori family's army. Suddenly, the avalanche collapsed, and they rushed for their lives all over the mountains and plains. Hongzhong Longbao and Tao Longfang were so anxious that they cursed.

No more cursing could save the situation, Tao Longfang had only one choice left: run away, go to Dayuanpu and take a boat back to Zhou Fangguo.In the future, we will compete with Maori Yuan again.I am still young.I still shoulder the fate of the Ouchi family, I can't die!

At that time, the Tao Army's first line surrounding Miyao Castle collapsed completely. The defeated soldiers crowded in Ogakihara and Hongye Valley, cursing and crying soared into the sky. Galloping in the direction of Dayuanpu, this person is Tao Longfang.

The pursuit troops of the Maori army followed one after another.Many people shouted: "Your Excellency Tao Chanmen, if you cherish your martial name, you will fight to the death right here!" Those who shouted these words included both the Maori army and the Tao army.Tao Longfang couldn't bear the excitement, and suddenly said to the horse Huizhong: "I am ready to die in battle, and I will return to the horse to meet the enemy."

Hongzhong Longbao and his son arrived at this time. After seeing the situation, they immediately bowed their heads and bowed, "Your Excellency Zenmen is a body of gold and jade. You should not talk about life and death lightly." Afterwards, Hongzhong Longbao and his son brought hundreds of people.Set up wooden shields and flags on Miyagawa, and solemnly fought against the Maori army.They are trying to buy time for Tao Longfang to escape.Tao Longfang looked at Hongzhong Longbao's back, tears streaming down his face, then he whipped his horse severely and continued to run towards Dayuanpu.

Morimoto's second son Shaosuke Jiro Yoshikawa Motoharu was the first to kill. Although he only had one arm left at this time, he was still wielding a big knife with one hand and was unstoppable. After receiving the battle, Yoshikawa Motoharu ordered: "Hongzhong Sanhe Shou is the number one elite of Tao Chanmen. The whole army must continue to pursue regardless of casualties, and no one can be let go."

Yoshikawa Motoharu pursued fiercely all the way, but in Henghe he was attacked by hundreds of Taoist troops who had ambushed in advance. At this time, Hong Squadron also turned around and attacked. Yoshikawa Motoharu was immediately in danger and almost died on the battlefield, thanks to the support of the Maori family The army arrived in time (it can be said that because of the tens of thousands of troops this time, the decisive battle to the Maori family seemed more calm).The Hong Squadron, unable to resist, continued to retreat towards the Dashengyuan. During the retreat, Hongzhong Longbao also ordered to set fires everywhere, burn down the houses, and block the way for the pursuers.Yoshikawa Yuanchun, on the other hand, fought the fire while commanding the troops to continue the pursuit.

On the other hand, Tao Longfang was chased by the Kobayakawa Longjing team, but Tao Longfang still had hope of survival. As long as he got to Dayuanpu and boarded the boat, he would make a comeback sooner or later.

But when they arrived at Dayuanpu, Tao Longfang, Miura Fangqing and others looked around, and the huge Tao family army navy fleet that was still here a day ago had disappeared without a trace!At this time, a fleet of ships sailed from far away on the sea, with yellow Hachiman flags hanging on them, and the drums on board were deafening. "This is the Murakami navy. They have dispersed our fleet. We have no way out." Miura Fangqing's face was ashen, but Tao Longfang next to him still did not give up: "No, no, our fleet may We haven’t gone far, and it is estimated that there will be a fierce battle with the Murakami navy nearby, and everyone will continue to walk towards Tatarapo and Oepo, and we will definitely be able to escape from Itsukushima.”

"I would like to be the Empress Dowager of Your Excellency Zen Sect." Miura Fangqing led thirty horsemen to ambush in Dayuanpu.The Kobayakawa team arrived immediately after, and were met with a frenzied counterattack by Miura Fusaki. During the fierce battle, several of Kobayakawa Takakage's servants were killed. , beheaded all of Miura Fangqing's men and horses. Fangqing himself was first stabbed by the spear of Ninomiya Toshimi, Motoharu Yoshikawa's subordinate, and then begged by the Maori samurai Naito Kurajo

However, Tao Longfang, who went to Dajiangpu after all the hardships, was once again frustrated to find that there was still no boat standing on the entire sea, only the violent sea wind, rolling up furious waves like frost and snow, hitting the coast again and again, come, go back...

"Fanshan, go to the other side of Yandao, there must be a boat there, there must be!" Tao Longfang opened his bloodshot eyes, dropped his pockets, and his hair was disheveled...

At this time, the Tao family land army of more than [-] people had been completely killed by the Maori family army of more than [-] people, and after being divided and surrounded, they were slaughtered one by one by the concentrated elite soldiers of the Mao family army.And these soldiers of the Tao family were also quite stubborn, even if they knew they were going to die, they fought back on the verge of death, causing a lot of damage to the soldiers of the Maori family.

On the sea, more than [-] ships of the Mori family, Kono family, and Mishima Murakami family's navy were also fighting fiercely with the panic-stricken Tao's navy, which also had more than [-] warships.

But just as the sound of beating drums and shouts of killing on the sea was mixed together, a series of black spots gradually appeared on the sea from the west, and these black spots were quickly killing on the battlefield of the two naval forces.

The first to discover these black spots was the warship of the Tao family's navy retreating to the coast of Zhoufangtan while fighting fiercely with the pursuing Maori family's navy.

"What's that?" A Taoist navy fleeing at the forefront exclaimed in Xiaochen, pointing at the approaching black spot in the distance.

The samurai exclaimed, and the other people in Xiaochen immediately looked in the direction that the samurai who had grown his mouth pointed at.

"Ah? Ships, a lot of warships." At this time, those black spots were very close to them, so everyone finally realized that these black spots were ships.It is a ship that overwhelms the sky.

"Luo...the flag of the Luo family!" At this moment, a warrior with the best eyesight even shouted loudly.

"What? The flag of the Luo family? Could it be that the navy of the Luo family is ahead? My God! Aren't they at Tsushima Island?" The other people on the boat immediately exclaimed.Soon, the news that a large number of Luo's family sailors appeared ahead also spread to other boats fleeing Tao's sailors.For a moment, the entire Tao family navy fleet panicked.

"Hehe, we finally caught up!" Just as the Tao family's navy panicked, on the deck of the giant lucky boat captained by Li Huamei in the Luo's family's navy fleet, Zheng Liang was looking at Maori in front of him with a smile. Said the two fleets of the family and the Tao family.

Yes, Masara's previous attacks on the Saeki family in the southeastern part of the Bungo country and on Tsushima Island were all deceitful tactics. The real purpose was the bloody battle at Itsukushima that was going on here.

Of course, in order to make the play more realistic, the two armies of the Luo family fought against their opponents with real swords and guns.At least for now, the Sixth Standing Ashgaru Team, where Shinyin Enjoji belongs, is still fighting fiercely with the army of the Saiki family in the territory of the Saiki family.

As for the clan on Tsushima Island, I am afraid that there is no need to worry about it at this time.Because after the two naval armies were defeated in a fierce battle in the Tsushima Strait, the governor of the clan's family, Yoshitiao, actually listened to the suggestion of the important minister Sasu Morioda, who had been secretly bought by the Luo family through Shimai Munemo, and sent his own The navy ships were either sold or burned directly, and then they used this to raise supplies, and concentrated all their troops in Jinshi City, the residence city, in an attempt to use cage battles to deal with the Luo family.
