Shimonoseki Port is located at the southernmost tip of Honhonju Island, facing Kyushu Island across the narrow Kanmon Strait, and is also a transportation hub between the Tsushima Strait and the Seto Inland Sea. 【】

However, during the Shotoku period, the Ouchi family had become a powerful force across Kyushu and the main island, so the port of Shimonoseki and the port of Moji across the strait became the naval base of the Ouchi family, and became a maritime hub, although the security was not very strict, but there was never any trouble.

Think about it, at this time, who would dare to offend the guardians of the Seven Kingdoms across the two islands? For the surrounding daimyos, the Ouchi family can be called an unrivaled giant.

Therefore, although many ships were parked in the harbor, the sailors on it were all lazy.

"I envy the loyal dogs, they can follow His Royal Highness Yixing to Shangluo and go to the flower world in Kyoto, I knew that I would not be the head of the water army."

"What are you envious of, don't you know that there is a fierce battle going on in Kinai? The attack of the Hosokawa traitors was very fierce, and His Royal Highness Yixing also suffered heavy casualties. "On a ship, two sailor leaders were talking boredly.

"That's better than being so idle now, little dog-kun, you know? I heard that in the summer, there was a disturbance in Nagasaki, and I heard that it was the pirates of the Matsuura Party who fought a battle with the merchants of the Ming Kingdom, and used hundreds of ships, and there were many ships on the other side. ”

"Really?" The little dog puffed out a pair of dead fish eyes, and said yearningly: "What a good opportunity, do you know the little dog?" Mingguo is a good place, if you can rob it, you will be willing to die, and those pirates of the Songpu Party are really very courageous. ”

"They seem to have been defeated, though."

"Hmph, what a bunch of waste, I actually missed such a good opportunity, if we meet it, we must kill all those Ming people, and then take their boat! Do you know that the ships of the merchants of the Ming Kingdom can go to the far sea, and they can go directly to the Ming Kingdom, I heard that the people of the Ming Kingdom are very cowardly, and they are far from being the opponents of our Ouchi samurai, if you go, you can do whatever you want, which is much stronger than Shangluo. ”

The little dog rubbed the katana with a longing face, thinking of the prosperity of the legendary Ming Dynasty, his saliva was about to stay.

"It's a pity, those merchants of the Ming Kingdom rarely get together, at most a dozen boats act together, it's useless to rob them, if they really do it, they won't come to Zhou Fangguo next time, alas!" One sighed heavily, and while he was sighing, he suddenly noticed a bright light flickering in the distance, as if it was a wave of water.

"Hey, little dog-kun, what do you think that's that? Is something coming? He stood up and pointed to his companion in the distance.

"It seems that there is indeed something, well, like a ship? But...... How could it be so fast? It's a northeast wind blowing today, and Anameasu is on top, so what kind of ship is that? The little dog also stood up, and soon his face changed drastically, and finally he exclaimed in panic.

"They...... It seems that he is coming to Shimonoseki Port, so is he going to attack the port? Quick, go and inform Admiral Yamamoto. ”

"Stupid, don't panic, it's just a few dozen clippers, what's there to be afraid of? Ichijo-kun, you go and inform the general, I will go and gather the sailors, there has been no war recently, the navy of the family is here, there are ten Ataku ships, this is enough power to dominate the world, you look like this, it is really a shame for the samurai of the Ouchi family. ”

"Hey, what the little dog-kun said is, I will review it in the future, today, let's fight side by side for the glory of the Ouchi family." Bowing his head to accept the lesson, the sailors were the first to run to report the news.

When he got off the boat, he glanced in the direction where the clippers were coming again, and said so, but the speed of the other party was too fast, and in a few words, he actually advanced a distance that was recognizable to the naked eye! You know, it's on the sea, where is the enemy?

Dozens of clippers are menacing, there is no intention to hide the traces, not only the two dogs, but even the sailors and samurai on the pier are alarmed, the two distant ports are boiling, the water army of the Ouchi family is worthy of being the first in Kyushu, although they were suddenly attacked, but they still quickly launched a situation of battle.

...... "Leader Matsuura, the Ouchi family's naval army is really a little more powerful than yours, at least the assembly speed is still very fast." On the first flywheel battleship, Lu Renyi stood proud, but the smile on his face was very relaxed.

"The Ouchi family is now the guardian of the Seven Kingdoms, and the Matsuura Party is just a group of wild samurai, where can it be compared? Of course, in front of the soldiers of Lord Shangguo, this gap can be completely ignored, and it will be destroyed anyway. Matsuura Xingxin lowered his eyebrows and smiled pleasantly.

"Now that you're out, you don't have to go back." Lu Renyi waved his hand vigorously and shouted: "Pass the order, each ship will fight in twos and twos, do not spare ammunition, annihilate the enemy as quickly as possible, and clear the obstacles for the large army." ”

"Whoa!" The roaring sound from the flagship opened the prelude to the naval battle of Shimonoseki, and it also became a harbinger of the collapse of the Ouchi family.

Ten Ataku ships crisscross the world, this is not the little dog and others are bragging, but the world they are talking about has a special concept, and it refers to just the three islands of the Wa country.

However, this powerful force soon turned into ten torches, and the raging flames lit up the Guanmen Strait, causing the sailors on the ship to jump into the sea to flee for their lives, and the Japanese people watching the battle on the shore were terrified.

Seeing the distorted faces from afar, Matsuura Xingxin was also reminded of the painful memories of a few months ago, the Ming Kingdom is not as weak as the legend, at least these Ming people he met are not, this is a group of terrible people, whether it is their weapons, or their ruthlessness, they are different from the traditional Ming people.

Fortunately, he saw things quickly and had already hugged his thighs, but the Ouchi family rudely rejected the proposal of Lord Mingguo to jointly develop the mine, look at it, this is the end of rejecting Lord Mingguo's kindness, and the Ouchi family is finished.

Unlike the naval battle with the Matsuura Party, as long as the slightly larger ships were rudimentary, the Ming army refused to let them go, and the small sampan that was knocked over or smashed into pieces quickly ended with the annihilation of the Ouchi Naval Army, which lasted less than an hour.

"Are they under the banner of the Matsuura Party? How could those thieves have such terrible ships? "The little dog has become a water dog at this time, although his body is soaked in the cold seawater, but he still has a feeling like in a dream, the invincible Ouchi family water army in the world has actually been destroyed, and it is in such a short period of time.

"Little Inu-kun, look, there's another boat coming over there, this time it's a big boat, and there seem to be horses on it?" One hugged a plank, fluttering hard, trying to get to the shore early, but it was too cold in the sea.

"Oh my God, where the hell did these people come from, they are not from the Songpu Party, definitely not!"

"Little Inu-kun, look, those ships are going to surround Shimonoseki Port, are they going to land and attack the Ouchi Pavilion?"

"Attacking the Ouchikan? It was their own death, and when they got to land, the strange ship and the ghost fire would be useless, and when the time came, they would see the martial arts of the Ouchi family samurai who shocked the world. The little dog said through gritted teeth, shivering.

"They don't seem to be going to dock ......" One quickly realizes that something is wrong, and as he approaches the harbor, the flyships turn and face the harbor to the side.

"Ah, they're going to set fire to Shimonoseki Port!" The next moment, he exclaimed, only to see black dots rise into the air, turning into fireballs in mid-air, and then slamming heavily into some part of the port, provoking a scream of exclamation and raging flames.

Most of the buildings in the Wa Kingdom are made of bamboo and wood, and only a few so-called famous cities will be built of earth and stone, but the latter are generally mountain cities, built by mountains, and it is more convenient to obtain materials.

Shimonoseki is a port by the sea, of course, there is no such building, and it is called a fast fire that uses phosphorus fire to set fire on a building made of bamboo and wood. With strong northeasterly winds, the fire quickly spread from the edge of the harbor and then went out of control.

"Shimonoseki Port is over......" The little dog's eyes were glazed, his heart was full of despair, he couldn't figure out where the enemy came from, he actually had such a terrible weapon, and in such a short period of time, he overthrew the world's number one inner family, this is unreasonable!

Moreover, the practice of burning the port without leaving room for any time is not at all in line with the style of the conquest of the daimyo of the Japanese kingdom, Shimonoseki is a famous port, and now that the Ouchi naval army has been destroyed, there is no need to destroy it at all, and no daimyo will be willing to burn it down.

"Could it be...... Are they Akito? The trembling on the little dog's body intensified, not only because of being frozen by the sea, but also because of the fear in his heart, the legend is really not credible, and the Ming people are much more terrible than the legend.

Cowardly? No, they are both cruel and powerful, they are simply demon-like existences, and they must inform His Highness Yixing, and they must not offend Mingren.

...... "This flywheel battleship is also somewhat similar to the light cavalry, and it is even more seamless with the incendiary bomb, no wonder everyone in the world says that the champion Hou Ye is the reincarnation of Grandpa Luban, in my opinion, even Grandpa Luban may not be comparable to him." ”

"Hmph, do you need to talk about it? Xiao Qi, brother, I have asked you for a good errand, as long as you make good contributions, it will not be difficult to fight for a wife and a shadow in the future, don't mess things up for me. ”

"How is it possible, Brother Monkey, you are too underestimated, such an errand is difficult to do on purpose, you can rest assured. However, isn't this incendiary bomb quite expensive, it's just a matter of burning the ship, why do you still use it to burn the port, tsk, what a waste. ”

"Then I don't know, this is Hou Ye's order, looking at his expression when he gave the order, it seems that he has a lot of resentment here......" The monkey scratched his head, and also felt very incomprehensible, Hou Ye had obviously never been here, how could he have a grudge against such a shabby place?

"Forget it, whatever, let's just get the errand done, if the port is broken, it will be burned, and the most important thing is to go to Nengdao as soon as possible." In the end, the monkey decided to leave the problem behind, there was really no need to pay attention to such a broken place.
