Pillars of the Wu family

Fortunately, the iron artillery team of the Kira Navy has been suppressing the sides of the Awaji Ataka ship. The counterattack aimed at the ship's side quickly suppressed the firing of the iron guns on both sides. Admiral Oda hurriedly commanded the remaining archers to quickly approach the sides. He felt that these closed ships were likely to bring them great danger.

"Quick! Let the Iron Cannon Team attack! The Archer Team don't stop! Shoot those people to death!" Admiral Oda kept standing on the top deck and yelled, which soon attracted the attention of the Iron Cannon Team of the Kira Navy. After discussing with each other, he locked the gun on the guy who looked like a senior samurai.

"Bang!" The rumbling sound drove the lead bullets from the gun chamber to spray out at high speed, and the gunpowder flames brought up gunpowder smoke. Apart from the disadvantage of being choking, the feeling of being surrounded by smoke all over the body seemed to be very good, as if being in a fairyland. Young people are happy to enjoy this short special feeling every time they fire a bullet.

"Puff puff puff!" General Oda suddenly trembled like a puppet with broken strings and fell to the ground. Several warriors rushed over in a hail of bullets and shouted: "Oda Palace!" He touched the wet place on his chest with his hands, and when he saw the bright red hands, he seemed to want to say something, and finally he tilted his head and died.

"Revenge for Odaden! Hit that ship!" The Awaji samurai rushed down the cabin frantically, swung his sword to drive away the Awaji sailors, and swung the oars desperately. At this time, there was a deafening roar from the outer deck of the Ataka ship. , Several decks were completely shattered, and the huge air waves set off wooden fragments and exploded in all directions. The nearby sailors and warriors were all killed on the spot.

"Bastard! Where's the baked jade! Take it out and fight back!" Someone reminded, and the warriors who were dizzy from the shock wave of the explosion remembered their weapons again, and quickly took out the baked jade and lit it.Don't care about throwing out Sanqi 21.Immediately, an unlucky ship was blown up.Then the closed ship of the Kira Navy was thrown into the sky by a huge sacrificial explosion, and the members of the ship naturally had no bones left.

"Shingoro! Damn the Miyoshi family! I will fight with you!" Kira Saijun on the other ship saw that the Guan ship next to him was suddenly blown up into a huge fireball and shot into the sky. Seeing this, all eyes were tearing , cursing angrily, picked up the roasted jade and lit it and threw it into the gap fiercely. The huge explosion and rising flames continuously devoured the life in the boat.

This time they won't make the same mistake again, one after another baked jade was thrown into the gap, the constant explosions gradually suppressed the screams, but after a while a series of explosions suddenly occurred in the cabin.It seems that the roasted jade of the Awaji Navy also exploded. The huge explosion exploded the entire cabin of the ship, and the hull tilted to one side and gradually sank into the water.

Slowly the cabin was engulfed by the river, and bright red blood burst out of the water. The murderous roasting team couldn't stop any longer. Seeing the flames of iron cannons coming from the Awaji Kan ship, they immediately turned around and rushed over. But after a while, violent explosions and screams sounded again, and the more tragic fighting gradually broke out.

"The Baker team acted without permission and has already left the formation!"

"Bastard! Kuroemon Takeuchi is really unreliable!" Shigetaka Kuki hammered on the flagpole fiercely.Immediately ordered: "Catch up, we must not let the Awaji Navy eat up our bakery team!"

"Yes!"

The two Anzhai boats began to move slowly with dozens of ships of various sizes.Soon came eight fire boats that were still burning. At this time, the bakery team was fighting with seven or eight Guan boats surrounded by fire boats. The sound of iron cannons and the explosion of baked jade made the scene even more chaotic. The iron cannon team immediately fired back and counterattacked, and gradually moved the situation back. The Awaji Navy's closed ships fell into a situation where they could not advance or retreat, and their firepower was restricted by others and could only be passively beaten.

The closed ships of the Awaji Navy were bombed one by one, and Xiaozao of the Awaji Navy swarmed up. Using baked jade to deal with Xiaozao was not worth the loss, so the bakery team gradually couldn't support Xiaozao's siege and suffered heavy casualties. Chonglong immediately waved the command flag to tell the Baluo team to retreat. Fortunately, after the fierce battle just now, the blood of the Baro team gradually cooled down, and they quickly followed the order to retreat.

The Awaji navy seized the opportunity and wanted to take the opportunity to storm over. The Kohaya fleet of the Kira navy immediately blocked it with their own boats. Let the Kira navy take advantage of it, but the subsequent closing of the ship is different. Xiaozao and closing the ship are completely two orders of magnitude. It is quite eye-catching to deal with the closing of the ship. It is constantly used in the closing of the Awaji Navy. The shooting and impact of the iron cannon quickly brought a devastating blow to Xiaozao's team, and there was almost no chance of Xiaozao's drowning people surviving.

This kind of sacrifice is not meaningless. In this kind of fearless fight, the Guan boat in the back row is finally in place. The army's attack was still fierce, iron cannons and bows and arrows fired back and forth, and even closed ships directly ran into them and boarded them for hand-to-hand combat.

They can only shoot the rear row of ships to gain a more favorable combat space for their own side. Even if they are suppressed by the firepower of iron cannons, this rotation tactic faces a huge threat, especially when the barrels of the iron cannons are hot. It is a waste of time to pour river water on it for forced cooling, and it also puts enormous pressure on the ships ahead.

Soon there were four ships that couldn't withstand the attack of the Awaji navy and were annihilated by the whole ship. Before the Awaji navy was happy, they soon became the targets of the rockets. Several ships including the Kira family's closed ship were all set on fire, and the ships of the Awaji Navy were crowded together and could not turn around.

Because there are burning fireships on both sides, they can only be ignited by rockets and turned into a sea of ​​flames. The sailors on the ship can only jump into the river to avoid the fierce fire, but they just become living targets in the water and are slowed down by the archers. Slowly aiming and shooting one by one, the Awaji sailors in the rear couldn't rush to rescue even if they saw their companions calling for help on the water, which made them very angry.

Kuki Shigetaka sent several other closed ships to block this waterway, and this fell into a situation that the Awaji Navy was least afraid of. The Awaji Navy often needed a few closed ships to be bombed and sunk in exchange for a few closed ships from the Kira Navy. However, the Atakafune hidden in the rear can shoot condescendingly and calmly, which is simply a target practice.

The battle lasted for an hour and a half and had caused nearly half of the heavy losses of the Awaji Navy. Seeing such a bad battle situation, even Toyasu Ataka couldn't sit still.

"What a cunning plan! What a vicious heart! Is this the power of the Kira navy! I, Toyaosu, have seen it!" Toyayasu Antaka roared angrily. He has a good reputation as a benevolent general, but he can no longer sit still in the face of such a heavy loss.

The Awaji samurai also has a long face now. This water battle is definitely lost now, and it will not be better if it continues: "My lord! What should we do?"

Toyasu Antaka was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth several times and wanted to swing his arms, but finally he sighed: "Retreat immediately! Leave seeds for my Awaji navy!"

……

The mouths of the Ashigaru people were scorched by the raging flames filled with gunpowder smoke on Amase Ura, and the corners of their mouths were chapped and bleeding. They were sweating profusely and kept pulling the bowstring. The cage hand was worn out and the fingers didn't feel it. They just mechanically drew the bow repeatedly. The archery cycle was repeated until the bows and arrows put on were exhausted. At this time, the fire on the river gradually disappeared, and they realized that the Awaji navy had retreated at some point, leaving only the wreckage of ships on the river, and the sunken ship was still exposed on the river. corner.

"We are victorious! We are victorious!" The ashigaru of the Kira Navy immediately erupted in cheers. The Awaji Navy was finally defeated, and after a tough battle, five closed ships disappeared forever, and twelve closed ships were severely damaged. In addition, there were 23 other ships that were destroyed at the price of Xiaozao, and finally repelled the Awaji Navy.

In the Amaseura water battle, the Awaji navy burned and lost more than 32 ships of all sizes, including one loss of the Ataka ship and [-] ships of the closed ship. Few of the ships escaped from Xiaozao, and the Awaji navy retreated quietly. It means that the Miyoshi family's water warfare offensive strategy is completely bankrupt, and the blockade of Yodogawa can no longer be maintained.

Because Toyasu Antaka has no confidence to continue guerrilla warfare with the Kizugawa Navy with a half-defeated army, not to mention the fact that the wall is overthrown and everyone pushes back, and the Awaji Navy breaks the rules and is ahead. It takes the Kira navy to come forward, and the Awaji navy will pay a heavier price.

On the evening of July [-]th, Toyasu Antaka and several entourages left the navy fleet that was gradually withdrawing to Awaji, and personally went to the big camp outside the city of Katsuryuji to plead guilty. The big tent was brightly lit. The samurai looked grim, because of the bad news that came one after another, Miyoshi Changqing was in a very bad mood. From the afternoon until the arrival of Toyasu Ataka, he lost his temper. The lord loses his temper, and of course the minister's life is not easy.

Antaka Fuyuyasu bowed his head respectfully, and said in a tone of self-reproach: "I, Toyasu, have a great trust from my lord! I really have no words to continue to serve as the leader of the Awaji Navy. My lord, please allow me to resign from my post and cut my fortune. Pray for Awaji Jiro!"

Miyoshi Changqing said lightly: "Why did Dongkang say this? You and I are brothers and sisters. We are all brothers and sisters. Since the first deposit, there are only three of us brothers left. Don't say such depressing words at the first opening." The family has no other requirements, isn’t there still a navy in the Awaji navy? It’s enough to transfer them over and continue the blockade!”

"My lord! Absolutely not!" Fuyuyasu Antaka almost jumped up, and hurriedly said, "No way! The Awaji Navy who stayed behind is the foundation of maintaining my Miyoshi family in the eastern part of the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay, and Kumano Sea! It is also my Miyoshi. The sea maintainers who dominate Kinai, if they are sent out, they will not be able to maintain the advantage of the Awaji Navy with the retreated [-] remnants!" (To be continued..)

ps: Attitude is very important!Although the three good brothers are the most united (compared to the four Shimadzu brothers), there are still problems. It is inevitable that there are differences between the brothers!Two more 1w completed!This is the first time I said without asking for a subscription!
