Chapter 605: Occupy Shikashima

Everyone's eyes turned to Fujiwara Economic Resources, Fujiwara Economic Resources pondered for a long time, looked around at the generals, and said firmly: "Then we will wait!" Let's see how he wants to attack, and if there is any movement, come and report immediately! Also, let all the soldiers be ready, Cheng Yue may do it at any time. ”

"Yes!" The retainers retreated.

Hojo Somasa said: "Lord Hon, I think it's better for us not to stay here, it's best to go to the fortification and keep an eye on it." ”

Fujiwara Keizo said: "Hojo-sama, I don't know when the boat behind will come yet, so go to the fort now and keep an eye on it, it may make the soldiers nervous." ”

Hojo Somasa thought about it, nodded convincingly, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's still Lord Fulfillment, I was a little anxious just now." ”

Fujiwara laughed but didn't say anything.

After lunch, the retainers came to report again, and this time the footsteps were more urgent: "Your Excellency, the number of ships on the sea has increased to more than two thousand, and they are densely covered with ports, and the soldiers are a little disturbed because they have not seen your guards. ”

Fujiwara said calmly: "What's there to be afraid of?" The battle has not yet begun. Let the soldiers pay attention to rest and not worry too much. We're here, so you can stop by and see it whenever you want. ”

"Yes."

After the retainer left, Fujiwara Keiji's brows furrowed. Fujiwara Keishi said, "Brother, what are you worried about?" ”

Fujiwara said: "There are more than 2,000 ships, and I still haven't seen Cheng Yue's flagship, how many ships did Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty dispatch?" Is it more than 5,000 or more? ”

Fujiwara was young and vigorous, and sneered: "What does it matter how many ships come?" No matter how many people there are, they can't break through the defenses! ”

Fujiwara Shino said kindly: "You still don't understand. If there were a lot of ships, it would mean that they would most likely bring a lot of weapons and horses. If there are siege weapons in it. Defenses may not be overcome. ”

Fujiwara Shitoki bowed down and said, "Thank you grandpa for your advice." But I'm not afraid. ”

Fujiwara Shino laughed and said, "Of course I know you're not afraid, but it's always good to be on guard." ”

Fujiwara Keizi took off the knife hanging on the wall behind him, put his hands on the table in front of him, and said: "Tomorrow will definitely be the first day of Cheng Yue's attack, from tomorrow, I will kill the enemy with this knife!" Hachiman Bodhisattva, please bless us. ”

Everyone in the Fujiwara family looked solemn and meditated together.

120,000 Japanese who were nervously preparing for war had a thrilling night. The warships on the sea still stood silently on the surface of the sea, and did not move.

The next morning, the sun rose over the sea, and the Japanese soldiers climbed the fortification and looked at the sea, and they were stunned!

Oh my God!

I saw that the sea of the wide Hakata Bay was covered with countless large and small ships, and the number was nearly three times that of yesterday! One of the golden dragon ships was huge, and in the golden sunlight, the nine dragons on the hull of the ship shone with dazzling light! On the top of a red gold dragon flag flying in the wind, the golden dragon on the flag opened its teeth and claws, as if it would choose people to eat.

Cheng Yue is here!

The Japanese army was in an uproar. They all raised their weapons and shouted into the sea, and some even unbuttoned their pants. urinated in the direction of Cheng Yue's golden dragon boat, wanting to humiliate him.

In less than a pillar of incense, Fujiwara Keizo and the others in the Hongrokan got the news, and everyone immediately got on their horses and rushed to the shore to direct the battle.

On the Golden Dragon Boat, the important generals under Cheng Yue gathered together and took turns observing Hakata Bay with binoculars.

Xin Du, Hong Chaqiu, Liu Fuheng, Jin Fangqing and others couldn't help but secretly rejoice when they saw the endless defensive bases on the shore. If it weren't for the king of Zhennan leading his army here, this wall alone would be enough for them to be at a loss, and if they couldn't take Japan, how would they face Kublai Khan's wrath?

Hong Chaqiu, Liu Fuheng, and Jin Fangqing returned to the cabin and fell to the ground, Liu Fuheng said ashamedly: "If it weren't for the prince's personal arrival, we would have been defeated!" ”

Cheng Yue waved his hand and said, "Get up, let's talk about it after this battle." ”

The three of them respectfully saluted and stepped aside, completely convinced of Cheng Yue in their hearts. Although Xin Du did not come over to ask Cheng Yue for his guilt, he also lowered his head far away.

Cheng Yue looked at Shiga Island in the distance, smiled slightly, and ordered: "Start landing on the island and act according to the plan." ”

All the generals stood up together and replied, "Yes!" "They got off the boat and left.

On the golden dragon ship, various flags are constantly issued. Soon, the large and small ships in the sea pulled anchor and set sail for Shika Island in the northeastern corner of Hakata Bay!

Fujiwara Keizaki stood on the defensive base, beside him many Japanese generals in full armor, all staring intently at the movement on the sea. As soon as the fleet moved, Fujiwara saw that Cheng Yue really led the army to Shikashima, and his right hand fiercely drew an arc in the air, gritting his teeth and shouting: "Your Excellency! The outcome of this battle is the key! ”

Otomo Laitai and Otomo drew their sabers together and shouted: "Death will not let Cheng Yue land!" The Otomo clan swears by the Buddha and their ancestors! ”

The eyes of many generals were focused on their father and son, and Otomo Yoitai bowed to the generals when he was close to Otomo and said, "We are going!" ”

The generals returned the salute and said, "Please take care, you must defend the sea road and attack Shika Island!" ”

The father and son then led their cronies to the garrison, where an elite army of 5,000 Otomo clan and other samurai from other small countries awaited a major battle against the Song and Yuan coalition forces. The doubts and ridicule that the Otomo clan has been subjected to for three years must be washed away with blood!

According to Cheng Yue's pre-war arrangement, the first to land on Shikashima were a large number of craftsmen and escorts of the Goryeo army and a part of the marines. The Goryeo army was 5,000 men led by Kim Fangqing, and the marines were led by General Xia Guilao and the descendants of the Xia family, with a strength of 1,000 men.

The Marines quickly set up resting places for the troops, and also dug countless toilets to avoid epidemics. Kim was in charge of guarding the Kaichu Road to prevent the Japanese from attacking Shikashima. The craftsmen removed the tools from the boat and began to work along the middle of the sea road that had just submerged into the sea.

The craftsmen had to nail the long stakes evenly on both sides of the road, then raise the road with cloth bags filled with gravel, fill the gaps with gravel, and then lay neat planks in front of them, fix them, and the army could rush to the coast of Kyushu along the road, and Cheng Yue's vision of this battle could be fully realized.

The tide was rising at the moment, and the craftsmen hurried to send the water ghosts to determine the position under the water, and then smashed the wooden stakes down with a hammer. The Goryeo army was amazed and confident of victory.

The second group soon landed on Shikashima, and tents were quickly erected, with kitchens, dinner tents, water rooms, and even tents where you could simply take a shower. (To be continued.) )
