Honshu Island Aki National Fire Standing Rock.

With the arrival of more than 400 ships, all under the banner of "Marusami" and the Yellow Hachiman, the Tajima Murakami Navy and the temporary Kono family Navy Army, Mori Moto was finally ready to launch a mortal raid on Itsukushima.

But before setting sail, Mao Li Yuan still personally killed a spy of the Tao family's army to sacrifice to the sea, and then shouted to the whole army: "The target is Itsukushima, all the kings are moving forward bravely, and the Maori family is alive and dead, all fighting here!" Now the whole army is divided into three divisions: I, Taro Takamoto, Jiro Motoharu, and the Kawauchi Police Solid Officers as one part, crossing Seisaki and Suginoura, and marching along the east coast of Itsukushima until Baonoura lands behind the Taojia army; Takakei Matashiro and Numata Policemen went straight to Ono Seto, then turned straight and drove straight to the shore near the shrine, and lurked between Tanooka and Miyao Castle; Konoya and Mishima Navy are on standby in the waters near Itsukushima. On the morning of October 1, listen to my order, kill on three sides, and be sure to take down the head of the Tao Chan Gate. ”

At this time, it was already evening, and the Seto Inland Sea was stormy, and the sea conditions were so stormy that even the pirates of Mishima were overshadowed, so they immediately said to Morimoto: "The weather is not good at this time, why not wait until the wind and waves are calm before marching?" ”

But Mao Liyuan scolded sharply: "Tao Chanmen just thought that our army did not dare to march in the weather at this moment, how could our army let go of such a good time?" The whole army has advanced without retreating, and is ready to fight overnight. The so-called "one-night battle" is a battle in which the winner is decided overnight, and the requirement is not to ask about life and death, but to seek victory.

So under the personal supervision of Maori Motosa, more than 500 ships were all extinguished. Silently marching in the storm. Luckily it was. It was still late in the evening and it was not yet completely dark, and they were familiar with the waters in the area, so they could barely continue on their way. On the ship, the soldiers of the Maori army also looked silently at the swarthy tidal flats, dense forests and valleys of Itsukushima, and the rain mixed with the wind crackled on the ship's side, scabbards, and bows......

Two hours later, the team led by Mori Mototo, Mori Takamoto, and Yoshikawa Motoharu all boarded Baonoura. Everyone didn't say a word, watching the fleet return, they were already ready to break the cauldron and sink the ship, and then they advanced towards the direction of the assault predicted by Hongzhong Takabao. On the way, there are mostly deep valleys and cliffs, and the Maori army marches silently in the mountains and forests that cover the sky and the sun, and from time to time people respond to each other with the "victory" password to prevent them from getting lost, and when they meet the mountain cliffs, they use ropes to support each other, and when they meet the streams, they use white cloth to draw water to quench their thirst, and there is only one goal. The main camp of the Tauron House in Tanooka.

On the other hand, the Numata people of Kobayakawa Takakei. Also arrived at Itsukushima in the storm, in front of them across the Tao Longfang fleet, only by breaking through, can complete the pre-arranged lurking mission, coincidentally, the Tao family navy that was originally responsible for defending here was previously dispatched to the sea area near Miyao Castle to guard against the support of the Maori family to Miyao Castle, plus it was already dark at this time, this defensive area due to the transfer of this part of the navy and there was a gap, in the part of the Tao family navy left behind under the paralysis carelessness, actually let the Numata people secretly enter Itsukushima!

In the middle of the night, after thousands of Kobayakawa troops had come ashore, they advanced to the other side of Tanooka, and quickly prepared for battle, only waiting for the signal of the next day's sortie.

At 6:30 a.m. on October 1, 1555, more than 6,000 Maori troops climbed the steep tail of the game, and the main camp of the Tao family army in Tanooka and Miyao Castle were in full view. The storm has subsided, the sea and sky in the distance, the pine waves of ten thousand ravines rise and fall, the wind chimes of the five-storied pagoda of the tower no oka make a natural sound in the wind, the flag, fence, and camp tent of the Tao family army are unobstructed in the morning light, especially the horse seal banner of the general Tao Longfang in Maruyama, which has become the most conspicuous target.

"Knock, knock, knock......"

At this time, Mao Liyuan, who was pouting his legs, personally beat the drum: "The god of eight million bows and arrows is blessed, and the whole army is assaulted!" "More than 6,000 Maori troops neatly erected banners, swords and guns, shouted three times in unison, shouts and drums reverberated in the valley, and the entire Itsukushima seemed to tremble, and then descended like a tiger and wolf, and suddenly rushed to the tower of the hill!

In the 30th night of the wind and rain rest slack off the Tao family army caught off guard, the defense line around the tower of the hill was instantly broken through by the Maori army, the Maori army one by one as ten, the spear pierced into the can not be pulled out, so the knife is drawn and cut, the blade is rolled up and the ribs are stabbed, the ribs are broken and the bow and arrow are fired, the advance is broken and then the advance is rushed, there is no order to control the chaos, the fierce rush and chase, the dead bodies of the Tao army are all over the valley, temples and streams, and the big ones are also rushing to the road, and the Tao Longfang who came back to his senses hurriedly climbed on Maruyama, Waving a military fan and shouting loudly to encourage his subordinates, he was never able to organize a new line of defense, but was attacked by the Maori army.

At this time, the Kobayakawa army, which heard the sound of Tanooka fighting, and the hundreds of defenders of Miyao Castle, also shouted long live and killed them, and the Maori army attacked on three sides, and the more than 20,000 Tao family troops were congested in the narrow battlefield, and they were squeezed into a difficult retreat, and the numerical advantage became a nightmare and fell into great chaos.

In the chaos of the battle, the battle-hardened Tao Longfang gradually came to his senses, and he first organized the elite banner around him to resist the offensive of the Maori army. Tao Longfang Zhilu said that although the Maori army was successful in the surprise attack, after all, the number of people was limited, as long as he persisted, the victory would still be his, even if it was a little embarrassed.

But at this moment, a team of people and horses killed at the end of the game completely collapsed the will of the Tao family's army. Ironically, this team is a subordinate of Takashi Hongzhong, the chief general under Tao Longfang. They were originally stationed at the end of the game, but the Maori army did not entangle with it, but went straight to the tower of the hill, and the helpless Hongzhong Takabao father and son savior were heartfelt, so they had to follow the Maori army and run down towards the tower of the hill.

The unknown Tao family army was in a sudden attack, and the position was shaken, and at this time, I saw that the Hongzhong Longbao team was also from the end of the game like "divine soldiers descending from the sky", and thought that it was the successor of the Maori army, and it suddenly collapsed, and they rushed to flee for their lives all over the mountains, so anxious that Hongzhong Longbao and Tao Longfang scolded.

No matter how much he scolded, he couldn't save the situation, and Tao Longfang had only one choice left: to escape, go to Dayuanpu and escape back to Zhou Fangguo by boat. In the future, it will compete with the Maori dollar. I'm still young. I'm still shouldering the fate of the Ouchi family, and I can't die!

At that time, the first front of the Tao family's army to surround Miaocheng was completely collapsed, and the defeated soldiers crowded in the Imperial Walls and Red Leaves Valley, cursing and crying straight into the sky, and the general of the chaotic army had a blue face, without saying a word, and galloped towards the direction of Dayuanpu, this person was Tao Longfang.

The pursuing forces of the Maori army followed. Many people shouted: "Your Excellency Tao Chanmen, if you cherish your martial name, you will die in battle here!" These words were shouted by both the Maori army and the Tao army. Tao Longfang couldn't stand the stimulation, and suddenly said to Ma Huizhong: "I am ready to die in battle, and I will return to Ma to meet the enemy." ”

Hongzhong Longbao father and son arrived at this time, and when they saw this, they immediately bowed their heads and said, "Your Excellency Zen Gate is the body of gold and jade, and you can't talk about life and death lightly." Subsequently, Hongzhong Takabao father and son took hundreds of people. Wooden shields and banners were erected in the Miya River, and the Maori army was tragically fought. They were trying to buy time for the escape of the Tao Long room. Tao Longfang looked at the back of Hongzhong Longbao, tears flowed down his eyes, and then he whipped his horse whip fiercely and continued to run towards Dayuanpu.

Maori Moto's second son Shaosuke Jiro Yoshikawa Motoharu took the lead in killing, although at this time he only had one arm left, but he still waved a big knife with one hand and was unstoppable, seeing that the future would be so brave, Hongzhong Takaho father and son did not fall in love with the battle, and after the battle, they retreated in the direction of Takikoji, Yoshikawa Motoharu saw this and ordered: "Hongzhong Mikawa Shou is the number one elite of Taozenmen, the whole army must ignore the casualties, continue to pursue, and not let go of a person." ”

Yoshikawa Motoharu's fierce pursuit all the way, but the result was in Henghe was attacked by hundreds of Taojia troops who were ambushed in advance, and the Hong squadron immediately turned around and attacked at this time, Yoshikawa Motoharu was suddenly in danger, almost lost his life on the battlefield, thanks to the timely arrival of the Maori family's reinforcement army (it can be said that this time because there are tens of thousands of troops, this decisive battle to the Maori family seems more calm). The Hongzhong team, which could not resist it, continued to retreat towards the Great Sacred Temple, and in the midst of the defeat, Hongzhong Takabao also ordered to set fire everywhere, burn people's houses, and block the road of pursuing soldiers. And Yoshikawa Motoharu put out the fire while directing the troops to continue the pursuit.

On the other hand, Tao Longfang was chased by the Kobayakawa Takakei team, but Tao Longfang still held on to the hope of survival, as long as he arrived at Dayuanpu and boarded the ship, he could make a comeback sooner or later.

But when they arrived at Dayuanpu, Tao Longfang, Miura Fangqing and others looked around, and the huge fleet of the Tao family's army and navy, which had been here with a forest of ships a day ago, had disappeared without a trace! At this time, a flotilla of ships came in the distance on the sea, with a yellow Hachiman flag on it, and the taiko drums on the ship were deafening. "This is Murakami's naval army, they have dispersed our fleet, and we have no way out." Miurafang's face was as clear as ashes, but Tao Longfang next to him still didn't give up: "No, no, our fleet may not have gone far, it is estimated that it will be fighting fiercely with Murakami's naval army nearby, everyone will continue to walk towards Tataraura and Oeura, and they will definitely be able to escape from Itsukushima." ”

"I would like to be the queen of His Excellency Zen Gate." Miura Fangqing led thirty horsemen and horses to ambush in Dayuanpu. The Kobayakawa team then arrived, and was attacked by Miura Fangqing's crazy counterattack, and several people were killed in the fierce battle of Kobayakawa Takakei's close attendants, Kobayakawa Takakei himself was also cut in the right arm, and some of Yoshikawa Motoharu's men and horses arrived at the critical moment, and the Kobayakawa team took the opportunity to counterattack and killed all the Miura Fangqing's men and horses, and Fang Qing himself was first stabbed down by the spear of Yoshikawa Motoharu's subordinate Toshimi Ninomiya, and then was sought by the Maori samurai Naito Kurajo

However, after all the hardships and running to the Taolongfang in Dajiangpu, he was once again depressed to find that there was still not a single standing boat on the entire sea, only the violent sea breeze, rolling up the furious waves like frost and snow, hitting the coast again and again, coming, and retreating......

"Go over the mountain, go to the other side of Itsukushima, there must be a boat there, there must be!" Tao Longfang's bloodshot eyes were open, and he threw down his pocket, his cloak exuding ......

At this time, the land army of more than 20,000 people of the Tao family had been completely killed by the Maori army of more than 10,000 people, and after being divided and surrounded, they were slaughtered by the elite soldiers of the Mao family army one by one. And these Tao soldiers are also quite tough, even if they know that the Tao will die, they are also fighting back to death, and they have also caused a lot of damage to the soldiers of the Maori family.

On the sea, the Mori family, the Kono family, and the Mishima Murakami family navy with more than 500 ships were also fighting fiercely with the Tao family navy, which also had more than 500 warships, but was already panicking.

And just as the sound of drums and shouts of killing on the sea surface was mixed together, a series of black dots gradually appeared on the sea surface from the west, and these black dots were rapidly killing the battlefield of the two naval armies.

The first to discover these black spots were the Taojia naval warships that retreated along the coast of Zhoufangtan in a fierce battle with the pursuing Maori naval army.

"What's that?" In the morning, a warrior pointed to the approaching black dot in the distance and exclaimed.

The samurai exclaimed, and the rest of the morning immediately looked in the direction that the samurai with his mouth was pointing.

"Huh? Ships, a lot of warships. By this time, the black dots were very close to them, and the crowd finally realized that they were ships. It's an overwhelming number of ships.

"Luo ...... The banner of the Roche family! At this time, a samurai with the best eyesight shouted even more.

"What? The flag of the Roche family? Could it be that the Luo family's navy is ahead? Oh, my God! Aren't they there in Tsushima? The others on the boat immediately exclaimed. Soon, the news of the appearance of a large number of Luo family's sailors in front also spread to other ships fleeing the Tao family's navy. For a while, the entire Tao family's naval fleet panicked.

"Hehe, I finally caught up!" Just when the Tao family navy was panicking, in the Luo family's navy fleet, on the deck of the giant fortune ship with Li Huamei as the captain, Zhengliang was smiling and looking at the fleets of the Maori family and the Tao family in front of him.

Yes, the previous attacks on the Saeki family in the southeastern region of Bungo Province and on Tsushima Island were all just a cover-up strategy, and the real purpose was the bloody battle of Itsukushima that was going on here.

Of course, in order to make the play more realistic, the two armies of the Luo family fought against their opponents with real swords. At least now, the Sixth Standing Ashigaru Team of Enjoji Nobuyin is still in the territory of the Saeki family, and the army of the Saeki family is still in fierce battle.

As for the clan of Tsushima Island, I am afraid that there is no need to worry at this time. Because after the defeat of the two naval armies in a fierce battle in the Tsushima Strait, the Zong family governor Zong Yizhao actually listened to the advice of the important minister Sasu Shengyuan, who had been secretly bought by the Luo family through Shimai Muneshige, and sold his own naval ships or burned them directly, and then used this to raise supplies, and concentrated all his forces in the Jucheng Jinshi City, in an attempt to use the cage city battle to deal with the Luo family.
