Moreover, at this moment, Liu Pei is using the army of the Shimazu family as a whetstone, so he needs to win this battle with dignity. Only if he has defeated the army of the Shimazu family in a dignified manner, his army can be called an army. Otherwise, it's just a team that will only bully homeless people and salt lords. There is not enough courage and resilience to give birth to the military spirit. So Liu Pei didn't expect to win by small tricks at all.

For the next three days, there was a quiet gap between the two camps. It can even be mistaken for two dead cities. It's only the people on both sides who go out to fetch firewood that let people know that there are two armies hidden in these two camps.

Liu Pei had to go to the city wall every day to observe the Shimazu family's camp. After observing today, he said, "I'm afraid the earthen wall outside us can't be saved." ”

Qi Qitao asked, "Why did the head of the family say that?" ”

Liu Pei said: "I have been observing them these days, and I found that they were building gun emplacements. They were probably planning to bombard the earth wall with artillery. ”

Qi Qitao said: "Then what should I do? It's been hard to repair, you can't let him collapse in vain, right? ”

Liu Pei smiled evilly and said, "That's it, tonight, you arrange a group of people to quietly go out, and the wall is pushed." After tearing down the earthen wall, let them desperately shout offensive slogans. And then it was withdrawn. ”

Qi Qitao said with a smile: "That's to attack them again!" So why do you want to bulldoze the wall? Isn't it good to keep it? Let them slowly take the cannon and bombard! ”

Liu Pei said: "Stupid! Isn't their bombardment of the earthen wall tantamount to ranging? When they are ready to shoot and then hit our wall, won't they die? ”

Qi Qitao immediately nodded in understanding. That night, Liu Pei stood on the camp and stared closely at the camp with his sleep, wanting to see how the other party reacted? At this time, when he went to the tent of Birch Mountain Hidaka, a samurai had already informed him of the situation outside. Hisashi Kayama sat up on the bed, reprimanded the samurai who ran in in a hurry, and said, "Look at the hurried appearance, where does you look like a samurai?" And, don't you hear how loud the shouting is outside? When you attack the enemy in the middle of the night, do you start shouting a mile away? Stupid like a red deer! Well, tell the soldiers to continue to rest, the enemy is nothing more than intimidating us. ”

After saying that, he put on the quilt and went back to sleep. Soon, Hidaka Kayama's attitude affected the samurai. And the attitude of the samurai affected the soldiers. So the camp of the Shimazu army soon fell silent.

Liu Pei, who was standing on the wall, didn't see any reaction from the other party, and felt very bored. So he ordered them to come back and sleep. The night passed so quietly.

Early the next morning, the Japanese soldiers of the brigade came out of the camp and began to line up. At the same time, the screen of the general was also placed. Subsequently, the array flag and horse seal were also erected.

The array flag is a flag painted with the Shimazu family crest. The Shimazu family crest is the cross of the pill, which is a cross drawn in a circle, and suddenly I thought it was a scope!

Horse seal, the martial artist will use the long-handled mark on the side of the horse or in the main formation to indicate where he is. It is also known as horse mark and horse inspection. It is equivalent to China's general flag.

After the preparations, Hisataka Kayama led a large group of samurai, fully armed, in front of the screen. Qi Qitao looked at the wall from a distance and said, "Damn, the pie is quite sufficient!" ”

Liu Pei said: "The general is always a little more majestic!" Stop being verbose and light the fire. ”

Moments later, a fire was lit inside the camp. There was a large amount of wet wood in the fire. The flames licked the wood, billowing smoke. It was early in the morning and the wind was not strong. So the long, straight column of smoke went straight into the sky.

Kono Kamiyoshi turned sideways and said, "My lord, what do you think he lit the wolf smoke for?" ”

Instead of speaking, Hisashi Kayama called a samurai in charge of reconnaissance and asked, "Has the situation in the surrounding area changed in the last few days?" ”

The samurai bowed down and said, "My lord, I'm sure nothing has changed. These three days were enough time for us to completely check the situation around us. Under it can be determined that the enemy has absolutely no reinforcements,"

Birshan, who thought for a long time, said with a sneer: "It seems that the enemy is playing tricks. But it's all useless! In the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks will not succeed! In that case, ignore them. Let the country collapse come forward and bombard the city wall. ”

The soldiers who received the order pushed two heavy cannons and shouted the trumpet to advance towards the gun position. The cannon craftsmanship of the Wa Kingdom casting was very poor. Not to mention the heavy barrel, the firing range is still close, the main reason is that their smelting technology is not up to par. So they had to build their gun emplacements in advance before the position.

Just as they were pushing the cannon, a house in a house near the dock suddenly caught fire. And the flames spread very quickly. Soon the whole house was almost engulfed! And I don't know what's in the house. The fire was big and the smoke was big! The owner of the house and the neighbors were so busy putting out the fire that no one cared about the high column of smoke. Even the Japanese soldiers in charge of monitoring were sure that it was just an ordinary fire and left.

Far away at sea level, several large ships are parked there. The lookouts on each ship hold binoculars on their masts and look out at the sea in the distance. They've been waiting here for a few days, and they're getting a little impatient.

Just when everyone thought that they were waiting in vain today, the lookout suddenly shouted loudly: "There is a pillar of smoke!" ”

Immediately afterward, the lookouts on several other ships also spotted the smoke column and began to shout loudly. Wu Yizhou was originally sitting on the side of the boat, and as soon as he heard the voice of the lookout, he jumped high! He shouted, "Raise the sails now!" Raise the sails! ”

All the sailors immediately moved when they were ordered, and the big ship began to move slowly, faster and faster, and headed for Ryukyu Island at a rapid pace. Not far away, several Chinese-style sea vessels also said that they had received orders and began to slowly make preparations before departure.

These big ships are the new warships and armed merchant ships made by Liu Pei. Liu Pei has not let them appear on the battlefield, just to wait for this moment. And the sailors on this ship were dressed as Westerners. The funniest thing is that each of them wears a blonde wig on their heads. Wu Yizhou will lead this fleet to attack the Shimazu fleet under the guise of a Dutch fleet bound for Nagasaki trading.

The speed of the flotilla was getting faster and faster, and soon it was approaching the Ryukyus. They were soon spotted by patrolling boats, and a closed boat came up from afar. Sekifune also recognized these ships as Western ships, and guessed that they might have gone to Nagasaki to trade, so they assigned an official ship to come over. If you see a Chinese-style sea ship coming, I am afraid that more than a dozen customs ships cruising will surround you.

When the ship approached the opponent's fleet, someone made a gesture to ask the opponent to slow down. At this time, Wu Yizhou and the others hid and gave up their position to Jack. Jack lowered all mainsails by two blocks as requested. After that, the speed slowed down, but it was still heading towards the port.

Seeing that the opponent's fleet had reduced its speed, Guan Chuan relaxed his vigilance. It went around in circles at sea and began to run parallel to the fleet. The side of the Jiaozhou ship where Jack was located was much higher than that of the Japanese ship, so there was no need to worry about the Japanese sailors seeing through the actual situation on the ship.

Jack was lying on the side of the ship, and when he saw the samurai motioning for him to stop, he shouted, "Put away all the sails." ”

Once the sails were stowed, the ship slowly stopped, drifting with the waves. At this time, the ship approached the Jiaozhou, and the samurai looked up and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”

Jack and Liu Dahai stuck out their heads to answer, but Liu Dahai did not show his face, but just exposed a golden wig on the side of the boat to translate the conversation between the two sides. Jack said, "We're going to Nagasaki to trade. Pass by here to fill the boat with some fresh water and some food. ”

The samurai said, "You must not go near the docks. There is a war going on here. ”

Jack said, "What? Fight? With whom to fight? ”

The samurai said, "And a bunch of pirates!" This group of pirates has attacked our own territory. ”
