On the seventh day of the Battle of Hakata Bay, the Yuankou fortifications were strewn with corpses, with 100,000 casualties on both sides, and shields full of arrows could be seen everywhere.

Losses come not only from frontal battles, but also from ships that have been blown to the shore by kamiko winds and collided with rocks.

The continuous battle was also extremely painful for the daimyo of Kyushu Island.

Their retainers and descendants of the samurai were killed and wounded.

Morale has dropped on both sides.

On the seventh day, when the Xia army receded like a tide, the daimyo immediately ordered the physicians to heal the wounded samurai, and the samurai were the first to be saved, and then Ashigaru as cannon fodder.

The Tachibana family also suffered heavy losses, losing about a quarter of their samurai and ashigaru, and more than a dozen retainers were killed in battle.

Tachibana Chiyo couldn't help but be silent when she saw the elders of the family die in battle.

The Kyushu daimyo were able to hold on to the defense of the Yuankou with their own fortifications, but for the Kyushu daimyos, the losses were too heavy.

"If the Xia army does not take Hakata Bay, they will not give up, and we must let Oda Nobunaga lead the troops to help, otherwise we will not be able to continue to suffer losses."

Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takakei of the Mori family were dissatisfied when they saw their retainers die one after another in the war.

The Mori family brought 80,000 samurai and ashigaru to support the Motoko fortifications, and more than 20,000 people were killed.

Some of the retainers and samurai who were loyal to the Mori family were killed in the battle, and the vitality of the Mori family was greatly damaged.

Not only the Maori family, but also the daimyo of Kyushu Island are heartbroken.

Unlike the unified Great Xia Dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty could bear losses, as long as it did not shake the national capital, with the population of the Central Plains, it could also provide a steady stream of soldiers.

The four islands of Toei were only nominally under the rule of the shogunate, but in fact each daimyo had their own retainers and samurai groups.

The daimyo of Kyushu Island and the Mori family suffered heavy casualties in order to defend the Motoko fortification, while Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Takeda Tadayoshi, Date Masamune and other daimyo also defended the Seto Inland Sea on Honshu Island.

This made the daimyo of the Yuankou defense base more and more dissatisfied.

Yuankou's defense base is long, and after the troops are consumed by Le Yi, it means that there may be flaws and be broken by Le Yi.

"My lord, the shogun, and other adults have assembled at Iwaya Castle and Kokura Castle!"

"They're finally coming. If this continues, we Maori family will not be able to afford such a loss. ”

The Maori family's discontent subsided.

Xia Jun's fleet, Le Yi was deploying the next day's attack plan.

This time, all the generals, including Le Yi, were as close to the enemy as if they were facing the enemy, and they were tightly deployed.

In the list of the next day's attack, there was the crown prince Chu Wu, and Chu Wu was still the hole card for the Xia army to break through the Yuankou defense.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this battle will be born after death, and you must move forward bravely, otherwise if you hesitate, it will be even more dangerous. In addition, you must protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

"Please leave it to you!"

Le Yi arranged for Gan Ning to strengthen the protection of Chu Wu.

In addition to Gan Ning's temporary guard, there was also Lu Lingqi, the guard who Chu Wu himself subdued.

Compared with the guards assigned to Chu Wu by his father and mother, Chu Wu still felt that he had a greater sense of accomplishment and loyalty in subduing the generals.

Chu Wu selected troops, the 5,000 Savaran cavalry of the Persian royal boar Shah Balez, the 5,000 Black Cloud Sword Army of Yang Xingmi, a famous general of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and a small group of soldiers and horses of Gan Ning and Lu Lingqi, totaling more than 10,000 troops, as the strength of the "Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat" operation.

In addition, Zhu Neng and Zu Dashou, two fierce generals of the Liaodong Army, temporarily joined Chu Wu's "Broken Cauldron and Sinking Boat Team".

The fords of Shikashima are not suitable for cavalry pigs to advance in a hurry, so the Black Cloud Longsword Army, as a foot soldier, can fly as fast as a fly.

Once ashore, it was the royal boar's chance to use the pig's ability to leapfrog.

Le Yi made the final deployment, and everyone rested and prepared for tomorrow's battle.

In order to cover the surprise team of His Royal Highness the Prince, generals such as Le Yi, Geng Yi, Li Chenggui, Zhou Yu, and Lu Xun need to do their best to attract the attention of the daimyos of Kyushu Island on the frontal battlefield.

Considering that tomorrow may be a decisive battle, the generals will adopt a refreshed spirit.

The white-clothed Lu Meng led the warship to patrol to prevent a sneak attack by the Dongying Naval Division.

The coastline of Kyushu Island is tortuous, and it is difficult to say that there is a sailor hiding Toei.

During the night, the wind howled, the warships shook violently, and from time to time the outermost warships were blown to the shore by the kamikaze.

"How's your state? If you are still seasick, you don't have to participate in the battle tomorrow. ”

Chu Wu returned to the cabin and met Lu Lingqi, who was pale.

Because Lu Lingqi was just a hired military general and was not yet effectively loyal, Chu Wu couldn't see her state, and could only determine it through conversation.

"At the level of the Dongying samurai, I can fight a hundred ...... each"

Lu Lingqi mentioned her strength and was quite proud.

Suddenly, the kamikaze struck, and the huge hull of the Daifuku ship swayed in the kamikaze.

Lu Lingqi was caught off guard and threw herself into Chu Wu's arms, overwhelming Chu Wu.

When she realized who was under her, her originally pale face couldn't help but blush.

Chu Wu was pressed down on the wooden board of the cabin by Lu Lingqi, the back of his head hit the wooden board, he was dizzy, and he subconsciously grabbed Lu Lingqi who was pressing him.

"Ahem......"

Zhuge Liang originally went down to the cabin and wanted to tell Chu Wu, who participated in the official battle for the first time, but when he saw that the relationship between the two people was ambiguous, he couldn't help but take a step back and coughed softly.

Lu Lingqi also realized that her current actions would be misleading, so she quickly got up and sorted out her clothes.

Chu Wu finally recovered, and his head was still a little painful.

The kamikaze in the Toei Sea is extremely destructive, and even the Daifuku ship cannot be stable.

"I'll go back to rest, and I will definitely protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tomorrow."

Lu Lingqi saw Zhuge Liang coming to see the prince, and hurriedly withdrew from the cabin.

Zhuge Liang said meaningfully: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is strong, on the eve of the decisive battle, it is not difficult to understand that he is looking for a way to vent his nervousness, but the prince is still young and cannot indulge in beauty......"

Chu Wu's face was black, he clearly didn't do anything, and it seemed that he was perfectly misunderstood by Zhuge Liang.

The relationship between Zhuge Liang and Chu Wu is significantly different from that between Zhuge Liang and Liu Chan.

Zhuge Liang is a whole generation older than Liu Chan, and the two of them are almost father and son, and in "Lord", Zhuge Liang and Chu Wu are only nine years apart, and Zhuge Liang is more like a brother or senior brother.

"Strategist, what's the matter?"

Since it was misunderstood, Chu Wu didn't bother to explain.

"Tomorrow, His Highness will use the ability of 'Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat', and the ministers will bring a company of crossbowmen to assist in the battle. The repeater can burst out to kill the enemy, but after a burst of fire, His Highness will be left alone. If His Royal Highness can rely on his own strength to achieve the battle of breaking the defense of Yuankou, presumably His Majesty will definitely look at His Highness differently when he returns. ”

Zhuge Liang's crossbowmen, like other high-level troops, have advantages and disadvantages.

Crossbowmen can fire several arrows in bursts with high burst damage, however, after a salvo, reloading is troublesome, and a crossbowman cannot carry many arrows.

Real hand-to-hand combat depends on Chu Wu's legion.

"I will definitely not disappoint the military advisor and my father."

Chu Wu was encouraged by Zhuge Liang, and his confidence soared.

Chu Tian is still struggling with the epic copy, if he can make great contributions before Chu Tian returns, his father will definitely pay attention to himself.

Lu Lingqi returned to her wooden cabin, although the Daifuku ship was still shaking due to the influence of the kamikaze, and there was the sound of waves crashing into the cabin outside, but Lu Lingqi's attention was not on the shaking Dafu boat, but thought of the scene that overwhelmed Chu Wu just now.

Lu Lingqi is very powerful, after all, she is just a girl who is just beginning to fall in love, she is more sensitive, she does not deny that the employment invitation she agreed to Chu Wu at the beginning is related to Chu Wu's extraordinary appearance.

Chu Wu inherited the genes of Chutian and cool in summer, and his appearance will naturally not be bad.

"But he seems to have a marriage contract with the eldest lady of the Sun family......"

When Lu Lingqi thought of this, she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

The kamikaze still howls in Hakata Bay, dozens of small and medium-sized warships crash into the reef because of the kamikaze, and hundreds of sailors and soldiers are missing.

There were also two Fu ships that collided with each other, each suffering casualties.

Nevertheless, the next day, at the end of the night, the Xia army regrouped and prepared to launch the eighth offensive.

The million-dollar Xia army lost more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it was still mighty, and if it did not take Kyushu Island, it would not give up.

In this offensive, Zhou Yu and Lu Xun, two fire attack generals, participated in attacking the Yuankou fortifications in front.

Le Yi counted the remaining 5,000 people's Yan Jia and prepared to fight.

Li Sung-gui's eyes were bloodshot, and the Goryeo army suffered heavy losses and was unable to make a breakthrough, which made him extremely anxious.

Chu Wu changed into a Xuan armor, with a green sword hanging from his waist.

Chu Wu led Gan Ning, Zhu Neng, Zu Dashou, as well as Zhuge Liang, Lu Lingqi, Yang Xingmi, and several generals of Wild Boar, as well as more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, looking for the right time to attack the land from Shika Island.

Xia Jun knew that Shika Island had a shoal leading to the land at low tide, and the daimyo of Kyushu Island also knew it, and Xia Jun also knew that the daimyo of Kyushu Island knew, but Xia Jun still had to pass through the shallows of Shikashima Island and bypass the Motoko fortification.

The daimyo of Kyushu Island spent countless drawings and stones to build the Yuankou fortification, not without a purpose, but in anticipation of the landing site of the Xia army.

In fact, there is no better place in Kitakyushu for a million soldiers to land.

"This is a matter of the survival of a million troops, you must do your best!"

Before the decisive battle began, Chu Wu mobilized.

The crusade against the Qinling bandits is just a trial, and this time it is a real battle of life and death.

Because, the essence of the shipwreck is to put it to death and then be born.
