Takeshi Watanabe was indeed rowing desperately in Kumano's direction—when the sailors who were following him confirmed with their own eyes and saw that Takeshi Watanabe's boat was sinking in the sea, he hurriedly rowed back and reported to me.

So, is the enemy really underestimating the enemy? Or is there another reason? I smiled and looked at the Nine Ghosts Masataka, this young man surprisingly kept quite calm, not carried away by the anger of revenge, but calmly thinking.

"Perhaps, they just sent this Watanabe Takeshi to test the situation." Nine Ghost Zhengxiao analyzed: "It must be extremely rare for us to do this, Jialong can't figure out the situation, and he refuses to risk his life, so let's send a small team to test it first!"

I took a sip of a cup of coffee, and then frowned—this is also the collection that Chen Kui brought with him when he came back from the West, I like coffee, but it's really hard to swallow without milk or sugar—so I stared at the Nine Ghosts and hesitated slightly, "You mean, the Kumano Navy has no backup?"

"Yes!" The Nine Ghosts replied, "At least not yet."

I pondered for a long time, and Fang asked again: "Zhengxiao, your second brother, how is his prestige among everyone?"

As soon as possible, the Nine Demons Masataka hated the Nine Demons Yoshitaka very much, but he still said very objectively: "His prestige in the Kumano Water Army is still extremely high." After speaking, he wanted to speak and stopped.

I muttered, "Since you have prestige, it must not be achieved overnight. If he ignores it this time, it will inevitably greatly diminish his prestige. So he will definitely send someone to the rescue! Or even ...... Lead the team in person! ”

The Nine Ghosts also groaned: "What Mr. said is extremely true! So we still have to plan ahead! ”

Chen Kui also said: "Although our ships have advantages, they are not invincible!" Once surrounded, the general trend is gone! ”

I lowered my head and thought for a long time, looked at the remnants of the Kumano Navy who were trapped on the islands and reefs, and said lightly: "Nine Ghost Jialong is cunning and cunning, if it doesn't hurt or itch, he can gently remove it, and then the class teacher returns." We have to leave him a gift that will last a lifetime and make him hate us so much that he can go to the sea to search for us with all his might! Keep him on a tight tether to the sea! ”

The Nine Ghosts were puzzled: "What does Mr. mean ......"

I pointed to the reef and said lightly, "Don't miss a single one, let them stay here forever!"

The Nine Ghosts made a downward cutting motion with his right hand and said in a low voice, "All ......?"

I nodded and said, "Then waste recycling, give me all the headframes!" Let them keep their eyes open and watch how the Nine Ghosts Jialong avenged them! ”

The people around couldn't help but shudder! Such a technique...... It's a little too cruel! But it is true that only in this way can the Nine Ghosts Jialong frantically look for us, and give him such a sworn enemy of the Kuhn Chamber of Commerce!

Create new enemies for your enemies, this is the most cost-effective way to destroy them!

The next thing was logical, and with the cleaning of artillery and muskets, these hundreds of people soon became hundreds of corpses, and then hundreds of heads! Their dull and frightened eyes stared at the sea to the north, as if they were looking forward to the arrival of the Nine Ghosts Jialong......

After doing this, it was already the evening of the next day. I estimate that if the Nine Ghost Jialong wants to come, I'm afraid it will be around tomorrow morning! So I ordered, remove the traces, and burn the two stranded ships to the fire, before heading at full speed towards the place where I had agreed with Arashi.

Half a day later, we met Arashi's fleet on the surface of the sea with one purpose - to replenish supplies on the spot. I didn't have time to return to a safe place to resupply, nor could I let anyone know about the relationship between the two fleets, so I chose to resupply next to an island at sea that we were all familiar with.

Sitting on the reef along the coast of the island, Chen Kui and the Nine Ghosts Masaki await my orders. They all thought I was going to ambush the Nine Ghost Jialong's fleet at sea, but I shook my head and said, "Let's go!" Let's visit the hometown of the Kumano Water Army! ”

Chen Kui didn't understand what I meant, and said again suspiciously: "Boss, what do you mean?" Let's go to the sea to intercept the Nine Ghosts Jialong? Is that what it means? ”

I shook my head and said, "No! On the contrary, we must avoid them! The place we are going to is his lair! ”

Everyone was shocked, and the nine ghosts said, "You mean, we are going to attack Kumano Water Village?"

I nodded and said: "With your second brother's style, he must not risk his life, if he wants to come out, he must be hugging from front to back, and the water village must be empty at this time!" It's time for us to break its roots! ”

After listening to my thoughts, the Nine Ghosts Zhengxiao and Chen Kui and others all thought I was bold! Haleha, who had been silent next to him, said: "Sir, just attacking the other party's water village, I don't think it's enough!"

I laughed and said, "Say! What other cruel methods do you have? ”

Halleha smiled, and walked out of the cabin, and soon returned, with a piece of wood. The wood was cylindrical, about a foot long, flat at one end and pointed at the other. Halleha laughed, "We can put some more enlarged piles like this on the shore of their harbor after the ransacking of Kumano Water Village." The Nine Ghosts Jialong went around the sea, and when he returned, he must be empty! ”

As he spoke, he gestured with one hand to the shape of a ship, touched the stump, and said loudly, "In this way, the Kumano Navy will be caught off guard and will inevitably fall into chaos along the coast!" If we attack suddenly......"

I slapped the table and shouted, "That's the point where the Kumano Navy was seriously injured!" Good! Good idea! ”

In this way, all the owners of the five boats mobilized, and except for the necessary personnel who operated the boats, the food support, and the observers, everyone else began to sharpen the barbed stakes from the wood used to repair the ships. This stake is about a person's calf, the length is different, and when the time comes, it will be placed depending on the depth of the sea!

By the time we approached the Kumano Mizukura 20 nautical miles, the five boats had already prepared more than 200 barbed stakes! These small gifts will surely give the Nine Ghosts Jialong a big surprise!

At night, it was still silent, the lights of the five boats were all extinguished, and the sound was strictly controlled, like a ghost, slowly approaching the two nautical miles of Kumano Water Village!

There is a fence around the perimeter of the water village, which is the outer wall of the water village, and there is an observation post on the wall, which is guarded from time to time!

I asked the Nine Ghosts Masataka to send the most elite shinobi, under the leadership of a middle ninja, quietly went into the water, touched the observation post, climbed the fence like an ape, touched the observation post attic, and did it together! Quietly, the sentry was pulled out!

The gate of the water village also opened silently, and just like that, the Kumano water village, which had never been attacked, experienced its first surprise attack in its existence!

The angle was adjusted, and all five boats were facing the water village with their bellies, which was a gesture of abandoning defense and firing full fire before the naval bombardment!

Before the attack, I also sent a team of water ghosts to row a small boat to check the water village, and sure enough, as I expected, there were only about 20% of the boats and people left in the water village! This should be the appetizer before the Kumano water army is severely damaged!

In the early hours of the morning, the remaining personnel of the Kumano Navy were sleeping soundly, when suddenly thunder began to thunder in the sky, and there was a continuous loud noise! When they got up from the tatami mats, shells rained down! After two rounds, half of the buildings in the village collapsed, which also meant that nearly half of the Kumano Navy soldiers became ghosts under the cannon!

After a few rounds, I ordered the fire to shrink, and instead of attacking the distant water wall, I turned to attack the ships docked in the water wall in the near direction! This also follows the principle of shelling - in artillery fire, half of the casualties come from the first round of shooting, and the effectiveness of later shots will definitely get lower and lower!

So I gave up this ineffective move and started attacking the ships that were like live targets! Shells swept by, and those moored ships were like struggling in a storm! A quarter of an hour later, two-thirds of the ships in the water village had sunk, and the remaining ships were already in ruins!

The remnants of the Kumano Navy in the water village began to fight back with shore-based artillery, not that I belittled them, but the big barrel team that was blown up by the historians of Toei - that is, the cannon team, which is simply the eyes of the blind - ornament!

There are data to prove that even the Oda Nobunaga army, which is the best at using firearms, dies in each battle of the enemy army in a large tube, which is less than one or two percent of the total number of enemy troops annihilated! So in fact, their big tube is more of a deterrent!

But my principle is not to get used to it, and wherever there is fire, the artillery will set fire to me! When the ship's ammunition consumption reached one-half, there was no sound in the entire Kumano Water Village, like a dead field!

I ordered the ninja detachment and the sailor detachment to land, on the one hand, to complete the clean-up, and dispose of all the corpses that could be found, such as those on the reef; All who are not yet corpses will be turned into corpses. By the morning of the next day, the entire Kumano Water Village was no longer alive with the Kumano Water Army.

On the other hand, it is necessary to collect ammunition supplies, replenish the consumption of intensive shooting, and make reserves for the next big battle!

Before dawn, we have completed the above work, and the Kumano Water Village has been completely cleaned up within a radius of ten miles, and there are no worries. I began to order all the water spirits to go into the water and set up a barbed stake array at the entrance of the water village.

The density of the barbed stake is also negotiated and measured, the stake is one foot into the soil, reinforced with stones around the perimeter, and hidden two feet under the sleep to prevent it from being exposed after the tide is low! I want to craft carefully and prepare a big surprise for the Nine Ghosts Jialong.

Nine Ghost Jialong, Nine Ghost Jialong, when I came to pick up the three husbands of the Hundred Lands, when you chased me desperately at sea, did you ever think that there would be today? If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for being the fifteenth!

By noon, all the arrangements were complete. According to the eye, the distance between the stakes was about two-thirds the width of the boat, and the bow could be entered, but the belly would be stuck. As for the big ship, after knocking down two or three wooden stakes, it will definitely be trapped between the wooden stakes and unable to move because of the decrease in the speed of the ship and the attenuation of kinetic energy.

And this, too, will provide the best conditions for our shelling - the fleet, like the horses, is the most important thing is the direction. However, in such a position, it is like a fleet entering a reef group, and it will inevitably fall into chaos. And in the face of the chaotic enemy army, the enemy army that can't even adjust the muzzle of the gun, and the well-prepared fleet covers it with firepower, then the so-called beating of the water dogs is nothing more than that!

After this was done, I ordered the fleet to withdraw to the southeast, leaving the second ship to monitor ten nautical miles from Kumano Suizhai, and the rest of the ships to retreat to twenty nautical miles to rest and rest.

During this period, it includes not only the rest and recuperation of personnel, but also the sorting of materials, the maintenance of artillery, the repair of ships, and so on. It is conceivable that we will definitely endure the unprecedented wrath of the Kumano Water Army! This requires, at least we ourselves must not drop the chain!

By the time the fleet had landed at the designated place, the sailors had fallen asleep exhausted after two days of fighting, and I had calmed down, and I was thinking about whether I was right to use such drastic measures. Is it necessary to do things so desperately?

But on second thought, this is war, war in the age of cold weapons. Either you die or I live, and there are no binding provisions such as the Geneva Conventions. Toei has always had a tradition of the victors exterminating the losers, just like the Kumano Naval Army, how could they ever release the targets of attack? It's just a cause and effect!

As of now, all the moves of the Kumano Water Army are still under control, and many things are perfectly rehearsed. But when it comes to the fundamentals, it's just that we follow human nature and know what they think.

In order to contain more of Hideyoshi's energy, we must not only fight the Kumano Naval Army, but also spread the flames of war and fear to the entire southern part of Hideyoshi's territory. Let him have more worries and worries before sending troops to attack the forces of Oda Nobutaka and Shibata Katsuie, and let this fear spread to all the coastal areas of Hideyoshi's domain!

So, what is being done so far is only the first step in my plan for a waterway attack, and Hideyoshi's nightmare has just begun......
