Kamimiyazu Castle, located in the southernmost part of Miyazu Bay, is a small castle on the coast.

However, at this time, this place has become a temporary residence for Yataku Dongyasu and others, and it is an excellent place for hundreds of warships to shelter from the wind and waves.

In the castle tower of Kamiya Tsu Castle, Yasuya Ataka Fuyuyasu was drinking wine with several generals of the Awaji Water Army, as well as Murakami Takeyoshi, Murakami Ryo Yasu and others, not to mention how nourishing the small life was.

Takeyoshi Murakami is the son of Yoshitada Murakami, the head of the Noshima Murakami family, and Ryo Yasu Murakami is the third son of Naoyoshi Murakami, the head of the Injima Murakami family.

"It's been more than a month since we went to sea for the first time. I don't know how much we have captured, but I guess it's not less than that, right? During the banquet, Ryo Murakami raised five fingers and said to Anzhai Dongyasu while drinking wine.

An Zhai Dongkang put down the wine bowl in his hand, nodded slightly drunkenly, and said, "Yes, there are indeed all kinds of goods worth 5,000 yuan, and they have been entrusted to the Isshiki family to sell them!" ”

Hearing this, Takeshi Murakami, who was sitting on the side, also spoke, "I didn't expect that just this small place in Wakasa Bay could give us thousands of harvests, even if it was placed before, our Murakami family didn't have so much along the Seto Inland Sea for half a year!" ”

"I've always known that Hokuriku and Higashiyama Road have developed shipping, but when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation!" Takeshi Murakami said with a sigh on his face.

Anzhai Dongyasu said with a smile on his face, "Murakami-sama, don't worry, the part that belongs to the Murakami family that has been discussed in advance, and then it will be delivered to Murakami-sama's hands in its original form!" ”

"But it's impossible to carry so much money with you, so let's wait until we return home!" Yasutaka Fuyasu raised his glass and touched it with Murakami Takeshi, then raised his head and drank the wine directly.

Murakami Liangyasu picked up a piece of pickled radish and chewed it twice, then turned his head to look at Anzhai Dongkang and said, "Anzhai Palace, when do you think I can return?"

"Although this Wakasa Bay has beautiful scenery and many merchant ships, the roots of my Ininjima naval army are still in the Seto Inland Sea after all!" is different from the "sharing agreement" of the Noshima Murakami family, the Injima Navy led by Ryokami Murakami received a dead salary, no matter how long he followed Ataka Dongyasu and how rich the harvest of Ataka Dongkang and others was, it had nothing to do with Murakami Ryoyasu.

That's why Ryo Murakami wanted to go back early, after all, the money paid by Anzhai Dongkang had already gone into his pocket.

Fuyasu Ataka put down his glass and was about to answer, when a samurai entered the castle tower panting.

"If you keep it, why panic!" An Zhai Dongyasu looked at the retainer in front of him Suga Motoshige and said.

Kan Moto wiped the sweat from his forehead, panting, and replied, "My lord, I just received a message from the Isshiki family..... Message...... Two days ago, a large-scale naval warship was spotted in Maizuru Bay outside Kenbu Mountain Castle! ”

"The Isshiki family speculates that it may be the Tsugawa family's water army, so I'm here to report to the family!"

Hearing Suga Motoshige's words, Ataka Fuyasu's right hand couldn't help but tremble, and his face changed color, "What did you say?" The Tsugawa family's navy appeared in Maizuru Bay? ”

"Hah!"

"Bastard! What happened two days ago, why are you only reporting now! Rao is an house, Dongkang is gentle and kind, and he can't help but lose his temper.

Suga Motoshige was also bitter and couldn't speak, and said with a depressed face, "According to the people of the Isshiki family who came to report, at that time, the warship of the Tsugawa family went straight to Maizuru Bay, and the Ishiki Sakyo Doctor Hall was because the Tsugawa family was going to attack the Jianbu Mountain Castle in a big way, so they hurriedly mobilized troops to Cage Castle in the Jianbu Mountain Castle!" ”

"The next day, I saw that the Tsugawa family's warships had disappeared before I sent someone to report to the family, and I just received the news in the next place, so don't you report to the lord immediately!" Speaking of which, Suga Yuanzhong also looked aggrieved.

An Taka Dongyasu was asking, and the two Murakami Takeshi on the side were not idle.

"Doctor Saemon, how far is Maizuru Bay from here?"

"It only takes half a day to travel by land, and if it is smooth at sea, it will be a day, and at the latest it will be a day and a night!"

"In this way, the Tsugawa family's navy is coming for us! If you calculate the time, you can't guarantee that the Tsugawa family's sailors have already entered Miyazu Bay! Murakami Takeyoshi said with a solemn expression.

Ryoyasu Murakami waved his hand, "How can you be so sure of sweeping the head hall?" ”

Takeshi Murakami had just opened his mouth, and before he could speak, someone had already answered for him. A burly man with a beard wrapped in a strip of cloth on his head ran in from outside and said loudly to Murakami Buji, "Lord Murakami, a large number of ships have suddenly appeared on the sea, all of them hanging the Tsugawa family's bellflower flag!" There is no doubt that it should be the Tsugawa family's water army! ”

"What!" Takeshi Murakami had expected it, and Ryo Murakami shouted directly.

The burly man didn't care about Ryiyasu Murakami's reaction, but continued, "The enemy warship is huge, and it has blocked the entrance to Miyazu Bay, and it is currently attacking here!" ”

"Blow the conch, let everyone get on the boat immediately!"

"Hah!"

"Lord Atakata, how is it possible that the Tsugawa family's navy army is not afraid of the wind and waves to come to us from Maizuru Bay?" Ryoyasu Murakami expressed the confusion in his heart, which is why Ryoyasu Murakami didn't believe that the Tsugawa family's navy would fight before.

Anzhai Dongyasu also shook his head, "No matter, anyway, the enemy army is already close at hand, so let's take care of what is in front of you first!" ”

"Wakasa Shou, blow the conch of the family, raise the flag of the family on the boat, and start working!"

"Yes! Lord! Sugamoto replied loudly.

......

On the sea of Miyazu Bay, the Tsugawa family's warship is slowly approaching Miyazu Castle with the waves, and the raging sea breeze seems to have no effect on the Tsugawa family's warship.

"Lord Benshan, why do we keep going? Wouldn't it be better to block the entrance to the sea and force the enemy to rush out to meet the battle? Tsugawa Marugami, Muto Tomoyi asked Tadanobu Motoyama beside him with a puzzled expression, "The further you go inside, the narrower the waterway becomes, which is not conducive to the spread of our warships, so we can't give full play to the advantages of the number and size of our warships, it doesn't seem to be a good strategy!" ”

Hearing Muto Tomoyoshi's words, Tadanobu Motoyama pursed his lips, then smiled and pointed to a few cannons placed on the side of the ship not far away, and said, "Muto-sama, do you know what this is?" ”

"Hmm..... It looks black, it's hard to the touch, and there's a hole in the middle, I really don't know what it is! Muto Tomoji shook his head.

"Huh!" Tadanobu Motoyama turned his head and measured the distance between the Yataku warship docked on the shore and himself, and then reached out and loaded a cannonball. Taking the torch from Ashigaru, who was in charge of igniting the fire, Tadanobu Motoyama said to Tomoyoshi Muto, who had a blind face, "Lord Muto, take a good look, this is called a cannon!" ”

"Bump!"

With a deafening loud bang, Muto Tomoei saw only a flash of light in front of him, followed by a pungent and choking puff of smoke. Before he could react, an even more violent sound came into Muto Tomoyi's ears again!

"Boom!"

Deafening!
