Chapter 259: Battle of Ise Bay (1)

Hosokawa Nobumoto, standing in a remote mountain forest, observes the Takeda Army in the distance. He landed from Chita Bay in the evening of today, leaving behind the infantry to build a defensive position, and personally led the cavalry samurai and the iron artillery team of 1,000 Koga ninjas, and launched a night attack and decapitation.

Stomp, stomp! The sound of horses' hooves was heard, and the crowd quickly hid until the voice of Honda Tadashi came.

"My lord! The night attack failed, but Takeda Shingen didn't die! ”

"Got it, return to the army!" Hosokawa Nobugen came out of the dark corner, and he didn't expect the attack to succeed, just to relieve the pressure on Devon City.

Just now, he had sent a ninja to successfully dock with the city, and he learned that Devon City was unhindered and could still hold out for a few days. Relieved, he decided to follow the established plan and destroy the Takeda Navy first and cut off their way back.

"Retreat! Fall back! The Takeda army besieging the city retreated like a tide, they were fooled, and a few small fire men who ran out of the tunnel were enough to make the morale of the Takeda army plummet, and they dropped hundreds of corpses again.

The sky lit up, and the Takeda army outside Devon City was as quiet as death, and it lost the courage that it had vowed to take the city before.

They had already learned the news of Hosokawa Nobumoto's landing, but what they never expected was that it was Chita Bay, far away from Devon City, and they had been cruising around the side of Ise Bay all along.

It is said that Hosokawa Nobumoto relied on the castle overnight to build three lines of defense and block their land return route.

One day, two days, three days! There was no fighting between the two sides, as if they were a happy family.

However, on the sea level in the distance, a large number of warships appeared, and the flags on the warships were grinning in the wind, and the family crest of Hosokawa Matsukasa Ryoshi was beautifully embroidered on them.

"Onward! Fire Bolt! "Murakami Motoyoshi led two hundred warships and rushed head-on to the Takeda navy, which had only one hundred and fifty ships.

Originally, Hosokawa Nobumoto's plan was to see how Takeda Shingen made a choice about the current situation of trapped beasts.

If he goes by water, Hosokawa Nobumoto doesn't mind sinking them all and going to the sea to feed the fish.

If taken by land, Hosokawa Nobumoto built three lines of defense here, and each line of defense was built in the form of a ladder, each with a horse fence one zhang high, and three stages of iron cannon strikes formed a covering attack with three layers of simultaneous shooting. You must know that in the Battle of Nagashino in history, Oda Nobunaga's three-stage attack tactics were only one layer of attack range.

Unexpectedly, Takeda Shingen was really immovable, for three days, there was no military action, and Hosokawa Shingen could only break the deadlock through the naval army first.

"Archery!" Okabe Sadatsuna, the general of the Takeda family's naval army, responded calmly to the battle, he and Okabe Motonobu are of the same clan, and his daughter is the nurse of Tokugawa Hidetada, the second general of the Tokugawa Edo shogunate in history.

"Roasting!" As the front army, the Nine Ghosts Yuanlong took the lead in the offensive.

Boom! Boom!

The powerful baking explosives sank two warships on the spot.

"Reach in! Lean in! Melee with them! "Takeda Naval Army General Itami Masakatsu led the front army in a white-knuckle battle on boarding. He is the sister-in-law of Okabe Masatsuna, who in turn is the elder brother of Okabe Motonobu.

And today's Okabe Motonobu, as early as the 11th year of Eiroku, Takeda Shingen launched an invasion of Suruga Province, and when the Imagawa clan was driven out of Sunfu Castle, he surrendered to the Takeda clan and was appointed as the defender of Takatenjin Castle in Ene Province.

"Retreat! Don't let them melee combat! The roasting fire continues! "The Nine Ghosts Yuanlong is now more and more mature, and the "burning" tactics of one-touch and go-away are used freely.

"Damn!" Itanya slammed his fist on the ship's wall, and the Takeda Navy itself did not have the advantage, and it was necessary to break through the enemy formation to reverse the decline.

Crash! Crash!

A group of Takeda sailors, led by a young samurai, waded to the Hosokawa sailors.

"Look there! There are enemies! "Toba Munetada, the general of the Hosokawa Naval Army, has discovered the enemy who is attacking on the sea.

"Archery!"

Whoosh! Hosokawa sailors aimed at the enemy and shot their bows, but with little success.

"Shoot!"

Bang bang bang! The sound of iron cannons actually came from this Takeda naval army on the sea, and they were able to maintain a standing posture in the water and use iron cannons!

"Ahh Thump!

The Hosokawa naval army was killed by this row of iron cannons, and more than a dozen people were killed on the spot.

"Fast forward! Embark on board the ship for a hand-to-head battle! The young samurai threw down his cannon and swam quickly to the Ataka ship in front of him.

"Archery! Shoot arrows! Don't let them come close! ”

However, this naval army was not afraid of the bow and arrow, and stubbornly boarded the ship.

"Who is coming! Get your name in! "Toba Zongzhong saw that this group of people who came up was actually wearing armor, no wonder he was not afraid of bows and arrows in the water. The expression couldn't help but become solemn, wearing armor can still tread water, and using iron cannons in the water, this kind of swimming skill is really rare.

"In the lower Takeda family, the head of the water army group is Masatsuna Mukai! Come and take your head! Mukai Masatsuna brandished a knife and rushed towards Toba Sotada.

Although he is only 16 years old this year, he is not only good at water command, but also good at swimming. His original technique of "stepping on the fan" in front of the soles of his feet: "Xiangjing Swimming Method" is also a major element.

This kind of swimming technique, which combined the tactics of naval warfare, flourished in the later Edo period, and even the guards along the coast of the various feudal domains at the end of the Edo period were intensively trained to learn the Mukai flow swimming method. Until now, the Mukai Ryu Swimming Method has held an open competition for the Mukai Ryu Swimming Method on a regular basis every year to preserve the preservation of culture.

"Humph! What a big breath! Doll to death! "Toba Sotada is also a veteran of the sea, and countless souls have died under his sword.

Bite! Clang! The two knives collided fiercely, bursting out with fierce sparks.

"Drink! Die! Toba Zongzhong had great strength, and directly set aside the knife of Xiang Jing Masazuna, and slashed at his head diagonally.

"Hey!" Mukai Masatsuna shrank his head, deftly dodged, held the knife in both hands, and stabbed Toba Munetashi in the lower abdomen.

Toba Munetashi hurriedly dodged sideways, and the tip of the knife grazed his body, cutting through his clothes.

But seeing that Mukai Masatsuna flipped his wrist, the knife was horizontal, and lightning slashed across Toba Sotada's waist.

"Ahh Toba Zongzhong couldn't dodge, and a big hole was cut on his waist, and the inner flesh turned out, and blood was dripping.

"Damn! Look at the knives! Toba Zongzhong raised his knife with both hands and slashed at Mukai Masatsuna again, opening and closing widely, and his knife skills were sharp.

Mukai Masatsuna deftly dodged left and right, trying to avoid confrontation with Toba Sotada, and his sword technique was like a swimming water snake, cunning and vicious.

"Whew... Call... Whew..."After a long time, Toba Zongzhong gasped, the blood had already stained half of his body, and the large amount of blood loss had seriously restricted his mobility.

"Drink!" Toba Munetashi once again raised his broadsword and rushed towards Mukai Masatsuna.

"It's now!" Mukai Masatsuna's eyes narrowed, his body bowed, and he deftly rushed into Toba Sozhong's arms.

"Uh... Ahem! Toba Munetashi looked down with difficulty, and the broadsword of Mukai Masatsuna stabbed deep into his abdomen.

Plop! Toba Sotada fell heavily on the boat.

"The enemy will be taken by me! The enemy will be taken by me! Mukai Masatsuna excitedly raised the head of Toba Munetada, and he made a great contribution by killing the general of the Hosokawa family and seizing an attaku ship.

"Oh!" The morale of the Takeda Navy was high, and they captured several warships of the Hosokawa Navy one after another.

"Assault of the whole army!" Murakami Motoyoshi decided to rely on superior forces to win, and the heralds on the flagship frequently waved flags, and the Hosokawa naval army raided according to the order.

"My lord! Lots of ships found in the south! There are about 200 of them! Suddenly, the lookout spotted a field of ships pouring out of the sea.

"What a flag!" Murakami Motoyoshi hurriedly looked back, and now the Hosokawa Navy and the Takeda Navy have become a mixed trend.

"It's Hojo! It's the Hojo Water Army! ”

I saw that on the sea in the distance, the warships were densely covered, the flags were fluttering, and the red flags were embroidered with golden "northern scales". , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
