Everyone looked in that direction, and a few points of light that seemed to be there flickered there, but it was not easy to find if it was not for the excellent eyes and careful observation. Murakami Yoshimitsu made a few gestures to the sailors, signaling to adjust the ship slightly to get closer to the coast. Several people held their breath, engrossed in discerning the slightest bit of information.

"That's right, it's our people!" Iida Moto-pro said excitedly after watching it for a long time, holding his hands on the side of the boat and poking his head out for a long time.

"Are you sure?" Kobayakawa asked, and handed him the monoculars in his hand.

"Your Highness, it's really right!" After looking closely again, Iida Motojin turned his head. "The code that was just identified and passed yesterday: three lights, with alternating flickering on both sides of the middle and the middle. This is our Hidden Ninja, coming to meet us! ”

"Send a signal to them to guide the course for the fleet! Motoyoshi, you go in person! Although he didn't see anything wrong, Kobayakawa thought it carefully before making a decision.

"Yes!" Murakami Motoyoshi agreed, turned around and left, came to the mast, grabbed his hands and took a deep breath, rubbed, rubbed a few times like a monkey climbed to the top of the pole, and then the air death lamp on it drew a strange arc.

Time seemed to stand still in the nervous waiting of everyone, but the result did not bring much torture. Soon the lights on the opposite side responded, flickering and dancing to convey obscure messages.

"We want to keep our distance from the coast and continue sailing!" Murakami Yoshimitsu finally deciphered the inside story, explained to Kobayakawa Takakei and asked for instructions.

"Let's do it!" Takakei Kobayakawa gave instructions, but the tail note was faintly tinged with an imperceptible trill. "Control the speed and don't go too fast; Keep in touch with the front and rear vessels at all times; The head ship had to measure the depth of the water every fifty miles it traveled......"

A succession of orders was carried out to the letter, and all sailors were called back to their posts, even those who were not on duty were to be on standby in reserve positions, so that there were three or four in reserve at the edge of those key posts. This is a critical moment for all the crews, and they don't dare to be sloppy at all, only those infantry who are loaded are still sleeping, the big battle is imminent, and there is not much time left for them to rest!

The nervous attention of the crowd was not in vain, and no accidents happened. Although the fog did not disperse, it was not heavier either, and Murakami Yoshimitsu repeatedly assured that the first rays of dawn would make everything clear. The lights on the shore to guide the course also kept moving with the fleet, and from time to time some signals to the left or right were issued, and Kobayakawa Takakei instructed to use the lights to test several times, and even understand the other party's meaning in reverse to confirm it. The response to the reply was all normal, and there was nothing to doubt about it.

"What time is it?" Although he was also an outstanding commander of the navy, Kobayakawa Takakei, who was born in a professional class, still lacked a detailed and in-depth life at sea, so he had to rely on real "sea people" like Murakami Yoshimitsu on some issues.

"Two o'clock, half an hour before dawn!" Murakami Yoshimitsu almost doesn't need to calibrate the stars and moons for judging the time, especially at dawn and night, when the smell of the sea breeze and the sound of the waves crashing against the side of the ship will be different.

"So...... We're almost outside Miyazu? Takakei Kobayakawa asked with a deep groan, the gentle and repeated movement of his fingernails had left a thin white mark on the wooden railing on the side of the ship.

"It should be about the same!" Murakami Yoshimitsu looked to the shore again, but because of the fog, the shore was only a vague shadow, and the navigation signal light was clearer. “…… We sailed a little slower on this section just now, but it was a smooth sail, so the two offsets should be similar to the plan! ”

"We must send more people to pay attention to the situation on the shore, and carefully observe all changes in the terrain and features! Remember, don't let anything suspicious go! Kobayakawa was careful about every detail, and even in the case of absolute superiority, he never lost his caution, because that was not his style.

"Your Highness, do you want to send someone to go ashore in a small boat to make contact?" Yoshimitsu Murakami made a new supplementary suggestion. He and Murakami had only been told about the ninja contact signal the previous night, and he was skeptical that the people over there knew the nature of the channel. He had been to San'in before, but that was a long time ago, and he only remembered that this section of the waterway was not easy to walk.

"No need!" Kobayakawa Takashi is cautious but also decisive, and he can't hesitate when the dagger is about to plunge into his opponent's throat. "We don't have a lot of time, we must attack before dawn! For opponents you can't fully grasp, if you don't fight, you will die, Zhuxing Qing is definitely such an opponent! ”

"Your Highness, I see Miyazu Town!" At this time, Murakami Motoyoshi on the top of the mast shouted in this direction, and his voice was full of excitement eager to fight.

Takakei Kobayakawa took a few steps forward to the bow of the boat, and carefully adjusted the focus of the telescope in the face of the blowing sea breeze. "Oh!" There were more than 20 lights shining faintly in the mist in the distance, and it was indeed a town. At this moment, the signal lights on the shore also stopped, pointing to the lights and making an attack mark.

"Why is there only such a light on the town, isn't Miyazu a big town?" Murakami Yoshimitsu was a little skeptical. Although I haven't been here for almost ten years, I heard that under the rule of the Shisei clan, Miyazu has not been as prosperous as it used to be.

"At this time, there are probably not many people who have risen, and Miyazu Town is mainly based on craftsmen who make equipment for the Zhuxing family! There aren't many businessmen...... "Iida Motojin didn't think much of this, and he had read a lot of information about this before he came. "So the wine shops, whale houses and other places here are not very developed, although there is no curfew, but the stars are very strict with their work, and no one dares to cause trouble here!"

"That's it!" Murakami Yoshimitsu also nodded, thinking that this explanation was reasonable.

The lights are getting closer and closer, and the eastern sky is faintly white. Because of the double effect of the morning breeze and the morning dew, the fog became heavier, and the white expanse made the coast look more blurry, but it was also a sign that it was about to disperse.

Kobayakawa Takakei secretly calculated in his heart, this is exactly the effect of his original plan. A huge fleet of troops slaughtered out of the vast fog of the early morning like a ghost, presumably able to destroy the defenders' psychological defenses at once!

"Your Highness! Isn't it ......" Iida Motojin quietly came behind Kobayakawa Takakei, although he was afraid of interfering with the general's thinking, but where his duty lies, he had to come over and ask for instructions.

"Let's get started!" Kobayakawa Takakei turned around, and the momentum that suddenly rose up was sure to remind everyone of his identity. "All soldiers were ordered to quickly prepare after eating, a quarter of an hour (in ancient times, about half an hour. After launching an attack on Miyazu Town! ”

"Yes!" After agreeing, Iida Motoqin and several generals and generals around him went separately to get busy.

"Maybe I should ...... too," Kobayakawa Takakei was thinking about announcing a pre-war mobilization and checking the arrangements again, when he suddenly heard a strange voice just as he was about to make a decision. What is this sound? He discerned it carefully, he could not hear it very well because of the interference of the sound of the waves, but one thing was certain, that it was not very familiar if he had heard it before.

Looking sideways, Murakami Yoshimitsu was also listening attentively, and Kobayakawa Takakei knew that it was not his hallucination.

After a long whistle, something heavy fell into the water on the port side of the ship, and there was a splash of water. "Boom!" Just as he was about to send someone to check, a roar suddenly sounded in the place where he had just fallen into the water. The tremendous force of the impact caused the sea to stir, and the hull of the ship tilted abruptly, and Kobayakawa was thumped to the deck, and blood came out of his forehead.

"This is the cannon of the Stars Family! I'm fooled! It's a trap! ......" A series of answers appeared in Kobayakawa Takakei's mind like lightning, but how to make up for it at this time is the most important. At this moment, a ship not far behind was hit by another shell, and in an instant it turned into a pile of debris, and wails and thick black smoke drifted into the air at the same time.

"Spread out! All the boats are scattered! Murakami Yoshimitsu shouted frantically, but most people didn't have time to listen to him at this time. All the ships instinctively scattered in all directions, but the first few ships crashed into the reef at the bottom of the sea. Although the shells did not fall again after a long time, they caused serious damage by squeezing each other.

"Your Highness, give the order to abandon ship!" Iida Motoqin crawled in front of Kobayakawa Takakei, and his helmet didn't know where it was. "The enemy army only has a few artillery pieces, which shows that the main force of the Zhuxing Qing clan has not returned! Hurry up and get ashore, we still have a chance with our military superiority, and if we delay any longer, we will all be buried at the bottom of the sea! ”

"Iida-sama is right, Your Highness should make up your mind!" Yoshimitsu Murakami was also urging loudly on the side.

"Okay, give the order to abandon ship!" Kobayakawa Takakei immediately made a decision, and all the surrounding flags and pro-soldiers shouted loudly in all directions.

"Your Highness! Right, to the right! "At this time, Murakami Motoyoshi also rushed over, and he had been on the mast just now, so he learned a little more about the situation." On the right is a large tidal flat tens of miles long and several miles wide, and there is no danger in swimming through! Your Highness, go! ”

In the midst of everyone's support, Kobayakawa Takashi and his party climbed a flat and solid beach in embarrassment, and about 10,000 troops escaped together. About a third of the boats that followed so much that they did not enter the reef area retreated in time, but more than 2,000 people could not return to land on their own.

At this time, the long-awaited sun finally rose, and all the fog was dispersed without a trace. Kobayakawa Takakei ordered the generals to restrain his troops, knowing that an even more brutal battle was about to begin!

"Oh my God!" I don't know who was the first to exclaim.
