Chapter 745: Sea Chase

Heavy raindrops kept falling, hitting the bow deck and the horns rang out. When the Luo family's fleet set sail, the rain on the sea became heavier and heavier.

Looking out through the gap in the cloak that covers the front of you, the heaven and the earth seem to be hung with an incomparably wide bead curtain, a misty piece. The rain fell on the guards around him, splashing small splashes like a thin layer of smoke around him. The rain flowed down the eaves and began to resemble beads with broken threads, gradually joining into a thread. More and more water on the deck flowed into streams and then into the sea.

Even with such heavy rain, the navy still carried out the order and set sail. Although it is almost impossible to see the sea from a mile away, it is completely no problem to conduct naval operations in such weather.

"Spot the fleet ahead!" When the Roche sailors sailed to the vicinity of a promontory known to the locals as Koyamazaki, the sentinel ship in charge of scouting the way ahead sent back a message through the flag. The flotilla immediately formed an attacking formation under the command of the various generals.

Soon some small black dots gradually appeared in the distance ahead, and as the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed, Masara finally saw the other party's camp clearly. Looking at the flag hanging on the ship, it was indeed the sailors of the Bojia family. It's just that there don't seem to be many ships in the Boduo navy, and compared with the nearly two hundred warships on the side of the Luo family, it is really far behind. The other party also seemed to be aware of this problem, so after seeing the Luo family's water army, the other party immediately drew an arc on the sea, and then quickly went back and began to escape.

"Chase!"

Since it has encountered nature, it will not be let go.,Just deal with this fleet that seems to be the main force of the Bojia naval army.,And then take advantage of the situation to march to Iki County.。 So Zhengliang immediately ordered.

in the opposing fleet. It seems that there are not many large ships that fall into the category of seki ships. In such weather, it is more conducive to sailing, and the Luo family's side not only accounts for nearly half of the number of large ships, but also has to maintain a certain formation during the voyage, so even if the Luo family's sailors are chasing after them, they are just biting each other's tails. The most annoying thing is that due to the heavy rain on the sea, the range of the bow and arrow has been blocked, and the power of the bow and arrow has decreased a lot at long distances.

The two sides kept chasing me and running forward for nearly two hours.

"My lord. After passing the island ahead, you will enter the waters of Iki County, Hakata. At this moment, Hitaka beside him pointed to an island in the distance and said. Masara looked in the direction that Hitaka was pointing, and saw that in the misty rain, a small island in the distance, which looked a bit like a whale, appeared in front of him.

"I didn't expect to chase so far all at once!" It was indeed a long pursuit, and it was almost once along the east coast of Iki Island. If it weren't for the fact that the wind was good at this time, and both sides rowed their boats with all their might, it is estimated that they would have covered such a distance in such a period of time. Now Masato was considering whether to stop the pursuit, after all, the sailors were tired by this time. If you suddenly encounter a large number of enemy naval vessels, and the opponent is still waiting for work. Then it's troublesome.

"Lord, look!"

Just when Masaliang was about to give the order to stop the pursuit and rest on the spot, a lot of black spots suddenly appeared from the back of the island in front of him, and at this time, the Bojia naval army that had fled in front suddenly drew an arc on the sea again, and turned his head to kill the Luo family's naval army.

"Stop the ship, stop the ship immediately and set up in place." Seeing such a situation, Masahiro's first thought was that there must be fraud ahead, so he hurriedly ordered the ship to stop and prepare to face the enemy.

The Bojia naval army in front of him, who turned his head to kill the Luo family's naval army, saw that the Luo family suddenly stopped continuing the pursuit, but instead set up a formation on the spot, and also stopped more than 100 meters in front of the Luo family's naval army. Soon, when the Luo family had just set up the formation, the group of black spots in the distance also came to the front of the Luo family's naval army, and at a glance, there were hundreds of warships, plus dozens of naval ships from the Bojia family, which were already comparable to the Luo family's naval army in terms of the number of ships.

"My lord, that's a ship from Tsushima to the clan." Hitaka next to him exclaimed at this time.

"What?" Masahiro was also taken aback. Although Iki Island is only about half a day's voyage from Tsushima Island, the time when the Luo family arrived at the Iki Hidaka family harbor to join the Hidaka family's naval army and then completely took the territory of the Nakahaka family in Ishida County was only two days. Being able to get the Tsushima family's navy to come to support in two days (after all, if you suddenly ask for help, it will take a lot of time from the negotiation of the request for help to the preparation of the navy army), it is obvious that the Bola family and the Tsushima family have colluded a long time ago.

"Could it be that the Bojia Navy is deliberately luring the Luo family navy here as a bait this time, and then join forces with the Tsushima family navy to attack the Luo family's navy?" Looking at the attack camp that the other party was putting on, Masashi couldn't help but think, "It's just that even so, with such a number of ships and the shape of the ships, it may not be able to repel the navy of the family......

"My lord, I found a large number of ships approaching rapidly in the east." At this time, the flag bearer on the ship ran over to report. The flag bearer had apparently just received an early warning from the sentry ship on the flank.

"East? Worst! Masahiro suddenly turned around and looked east, at this time because of the rain, Masato could only see about a mile of scenery, so he didn't see any shadow of the ship for the time being, but his own sentinel ship would not lie about the military situation.

At this time, in front of the Luo family's north was the combined camp of the Wave family and the Tsushima family's naval army, while a group of ships (almost certainly enemy ships) came to the east, and to the west was Iki Island, and the other party obviously wanted to flank the Luo family's naval army.

"Lord, why don't you withdraw your troops?" The Hi Gao Zi next to him admonished in a trembling voice at this time. I don't know if it was because he was scared when he heard the banner soldier's message, or because he felt cold after being soaked in the rain, which caused his voice to tremble a little.

"No, herald, prepare for battle immediately!"

However, Masato immediately made the decision to prepare for battle. At this time, retreat, the Bojia family and the Tsushima family navy in front will definitely appear to come forward to entangle the Luo family's navy. Even if they were able to get away with their entanglement, the sailors were tired from a long chase before, so they couldn't hold out much longer. Once they were exhausted and the ships slowed down, some of the ships would fall behind, and the flotilla of the horses and those from the east would tear them apart like hungry sharks. Under such circumstances, Masahiro had to order the ship to stop to meet the enemy after reaching the extreme. Therefore, it is better to meet the enemy on the spot.

Of course, there is another way, that is, to escape to Iki Island, but the other party is obviously prepared, and no one knows what danger awaits Masashi and others on the shore at this moment. And if they knew that Zhengliang, who was the governor of the Luo family, was also in the fleet, they would probably attack the Luo family's army at all costs.

Even if Masara escaped to the shore and avoided the danger on the shore, this is someone else's territory after all, and now that the Bodo family has foreign aid, it is hard to imagine how Masara can evade their search and pursuit, and why can he survive in the wild for a long time? Once Zhengliang disappears, the Luo family is estimated to be in chaos, and the surrounding powerful names will naturally have a chance to bite the Luo family. Even Zhengliang had already thought that this was definitely a conspiracy against the Luo family.

"Quick, quick, ready to fight." Even when it was learned that there were enemy ships in the east, there were still loud shouts from the ships of the Luo family.

Suddenly, there was a lot of 'sonorous' sound all around, and the sailors on each ship drew their swords one after another, picked up their longbows, erected their spears, and even placed a large number of arrows on the deck. As for the iron cannon and the roasted jade, they were not taken out, because everyone knew that in such rainy weather, the power of these two weapons was limited.

"Knock, knock, knock......" Just as the Luo family's naval army was preparing to fight, there was a sound of drums beating one after another in the wind and rain in the east. Soon a large group of ships emerged from the wind and rain. At a glance, there are at least more than 100 ships in the place.

"It's the ship of the Ouchi family!" It's time to skip the reminder of Hidaka next to him, who was already kneeling on the deck in fright, and Masarashi himself can see the family crest of the person.

"My lord, there is an unknown ship in the rear, huh? It's a huge ship! At this time, the flag soldier on the ship, who had already stood beside Masahiro, suddenly reported.

"What? There are also ships in the rear? That's impossible? ”
