"Oh? Did the Oda Navy actually have such a large number of artillery? Mao Liyuan leaned on the desk, half-squinted his eyes and looked at Murakami Takeshi faintly and asked.

"Yes! The enemy's artillery is numerous, and its range is longer than any weapon of the navy, and although their ship is a sailing ship, it is not slow in the inland sea......" Murakami replied in fear. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, as if the old man in front of him had not woken up to put much pressure on him.

Murakami Takeyoshi's fear of Maori Motosho first came from the Itsukushima Battle. On that occasion, although Takeshi Murakami agreed to the Maori family's request, he actually didn't think that the Maori family could defeat Tao Qingxian, who was in full swing. The reason why I agreed was just because I didn't want to offend my brothers who were close to the Maori family.

With the rise of the Maori family, Murakami Takeki's fear of Maori Yuan became deeper and deeper, and the unguardable strategy and ruthless style made Murakami Takeshi panic. It is true that Murakami Takeshi did not offend the Maori family much, and even had great achievements, but the Inoue clan was wiped out by Maori Yuan, not to mention that he was just a leader of the water army?

And Maori Yuan has always hoped that the Mishima Navy can officially become a retainer of the Maori family, over the years, Murakami has been completely obedient to the island, and Murakami Yoshimitsu of Injima is also a little tempted, only Murakami Takeyoshi has always insisted on the status of subordination. In this case, how not to panic Murakami Takeki?

I have to say that Murakami Bukit really has no political acumen, otherwise, he would find that everything he is doing now is just death.

"Then, you go back and do it as usual, and when the opportunity is ripe, I will send someone to inform you how to do it." Mao Liyuan said lightly.

"Yes!" Murakami didn't ask Mori what kind of plans he had or what his role was. It's just that after hearing Maori Yuan's words, he breathed a sigh of relief, and after answering, he respectfully retreated.

"The navy of the Oda family...... It seems that I still underestimated that Oda Yoshinobu! But...... Although I don't know who thought of this strategy, it's too simple~" Mao Liyuan chuckled.

"My lord." A voice came, but it was Ankokuji Huiqiong, who had returned from Kyushu.

"Hehe, the trip to Kyushu went well, right?" Seeing this, Mao Liyuan smiled.

"It's going well, the various forces in Kyushu have agreed to send troops, according to the calculations of their subordinates, Ryuzoji will send troops about 3,000 people, Sagara and Aso 1,000 people each, Ito 2,000 people, and Shimazu 2,000 people." Anguo Temple Huiqiong said in a deep voice.

"Very well, then let them assemble at the Hoyogo Mansion Inner Hall. After receiving the order, immediately send troops to Iyo! Mao Liyuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Anguo Temple Huiqiong responded, but then reacted, "Lord, don't you need to send troops now?" ”

At this time, the war situation in Iyo Province was still in a stalemate, and this stalemate was obviously very unfavorable to the Mori family. After all, everyone knows how rich the Oda family is, and if they continue to fight, it will definitely be the Maori family who can't support it first.

"No, Oda Yoshinobu seems to have some ideas about his family's water army, so let's take advantage of it." Mao Liyuan smiled, his cloudy gaze hid a dangerous light, although he was old, he was still the wise general who was dominant.

"Yes." Hearing Mao Liyuan say this, Anguosi Huiqiong didn't ask anything more. After all, although he is the main director of Maori Yuan, he is only in charge of diplomacy.

Ninety-nine mountain castles.

It was already night, but Shigeharu Takenaka still hadn't slept, and he kept looking at all the information about the Mori family during this time, as well as the sand table not far in front of him, on which all the Mori family's deployments were marked, including the Seto Inland Sea and other places.

"The lord's strategy may sound good, but there are quite a few loopholes. Although Takeshi Murakami and others may not be able to see it, it is impossible for Mori Yuan not to see it. Shigeharu Takenaka thought to himself.

"The troops of Kyushu have begun to assemble, even if the Shimazu family secretly surrenders to the main family, it is impossible to rebel at such a time, if they kill Iyo directly......" Shigeharu Takenaka thought of this, and his eyes fell on the naval army of Otsuru Tsuru, "It seems that we can only start from here, but if we face the naval army such as Bungo at the same time, ......"

Shaking his head, "It seems that I can only trust Lord Dazhu." Shigeharu Takenaka thought with a determined gaze.

A few days later.

Harima country, in Konosu Castle.

"I see, I see." Kobayakawa Takakei nodded after listening to the ninja's report and said.

"Kobayakawa-sama, but the news about the Oda family?" Shimizu Soji asked respectfully.

"Yes, but it doesn't have anything to do with us. The only thing we have to do now is to find a way to break the defense of the Oda army. Kobayakawa Takashi said in a deep voice.

Hearing this, everyone lowered their heads, and for a long time, they had been continuously conducting tentative attacks on the four cities of Muroyama, Tatsuno, Shishio, and Hengya, but they were all easily repelled by the Oda army. And if you want to encircle one of the cities and attack it, you will be flanked by other cities.

For a while, although the wealthy family of Misaku had arrived with troops, it did not have much effect on the Harima battlefield.

Seeing this, Kobayakawa Takakei didn't say anything, just casually encouraged everyone and let them leave.

After dark.

"Lord!" Nomi Sokatsu quietly arrived at Kobayakawa Takakei's mansion.

"You immediately go to Bizen quietly, secretly assemble troops and ships, and if there is a change on the Seto Inland Sea, immediately send troops to attack Shodoshima!" Kobayakawa Takakei said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

On the other side, the naval armies of Bungo, Bunzen, Shubo, Nagato, and other countries also began to assemble, assuming that they were ready to support the Seto Inland Sea at any time.

And after this news came out, Oda Navy's actions on Shodoshima became more frequent, and even uncharacteristically began to fight hard with the Mishima Navy. For this reason, in two or three days, the Oda Navy lost more than a dozen ships.

"Bastard! I didn't expect the Oda Navy melee and broadside battles to be great here! Murakami Takeshi shouted angrily. After discovering that the Oda Navy was no longer just harassing, Murakami Takeyoshi led his strongest sailors to storm the Oda Navy every time he attacked, not only fighting the Oda Navy several times in close combat, but also directly engaging it once and killing the opposing ship.

Unfortunately, the final result still ended in the defeat of the Mishima Navy, although the Oda Navy lost more than a dozen ships, but the losses of the Mishima Navy were even greater. After all, the closer the distance, the more powerful the Oda Navy's artillery became, not to mention the countless iron cannons and fire arrows.

"Murakami-sama don't worry, as long as Bungo's sailors join the battlefield, the Oda Navy will only be sunk by us." Murakami Yoshimitsu said with a gloomy face.
