Chapter 939: Sakura Battle Plan

On June 23 of the third year of Dachu Jianye, the wind and the sun were beautiful, the sea was like a mirror, and the gentle southeast wind swept through the sea, swaying like sparkling waves.

Penglai Islands, located on the Penglai Mountain, the Japanese general tent, countless Japanese warriors gathered together, kneeling on the carpet, under the leadership of the general Inoue Shunji, facing the direction of the eastern Japanese island, solemnly bowed.

On this day, it is the holy day when Emperor Sakura Akiji becomes Emperor Toyi, and the puppet emperor in the past has retired from the stage of history.

After some bowing, Inoue Shunji stood up and solemnly came to the main seat, Inoue Shunji is thirty years old, five feet seven or eight tall, he is already tall and handsome on Wajima, a sky blue, black samurai armor is draped on his body, and he also carries a famous sword that is not far behind his height, Killing Ghost Pill.

Inoue Shunji is not a samurai under Sakura Mingzhi, but from one of his two rivals, the chief samurai family of the Matsushita family, and even Sakura Mingzhi's long-cherished wish to dominate the mountains and rivers was almost defeated in the hands of this person, but after defeating the Matsushita Daimyo, the Inoue family was not given death by Sakura Mingzhi, but entrusted with the important task of taking charge of the naval warships in the hands of Sakura Mingzhi.

As the so-called soldier dies as a confidant, Inoue Shunji was appreciated by Sakura Akishi, entrusted with a heavy responsibility, and lived up to the king's prestige, in the battle against the Kanchu daimyo and the Tokugawa family, made great contributions, so that the process of Sakura Akishi's defeat of the Tokugawa family was shortened by several years, and Inoue Shunji was appointed as one of the generals of the three armies after quelling the fire of Wajima.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I have finally ushered in the greatest Sakura Emperor on the island of Okaichi, the glory of the Emperor shines on us again, and now, our army has gathered in the Penglai Islands, it is the time to make a contribution, take the land opposite, let the glory of the Emperor shine there, and let it become a part of the Sakura Empire!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, please see, this is the map of the Empire's soldiers and horses that our ninjas have discovered in a few months!" Inoue Shunji turned around and tore off a mask, revealing a map of the Yangzhou coast.

"The empire has noticed the arrival of our army, so in the past two months, it has continuously moved the people in the coastal areas into the interior, in a vain attempt to create a blank area to block our imperial navy!"

"On this line, the empire has successively stationed a large number of soldiers and horses, guarding various places, and building beacon piers, intending to use this method to find out where I landed and deal with it!" Inoue Shunji said and sneered disdainfully, and continued: "The coastline of Yangzhou is thousands of miles, and counting the Tianhe line, there are countless places that can be used to land! ”

"The Empire's relocation and resettlement of the people of the coastal towns is opening another door for us! In view of the various arrangements of the Empire, I have drawn up a grand plan, on the frontal coastline, our army will disperse several units and land on the coasts of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Fuzhou!"

"After landing, we should act at the opportunity to attack, and if we can't, we will immediately withdraw to the sea, because the opponent's sea strength is very weak, so the sea is safe! This dispatch is to make the Yangzhou coastline full of beacon fires and wolf smoke everywhere, so that it will be like a frightened bird, restless day and night!"

"Then, send a large number of ninjas to clean up the beacon piers everywhere, and here, we have to fight a big battle!" Inoue Shunji pointed directly at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay, a harbor embedded inland like an eagle's beak.

"According to the information we have obtained, the Great Chu Kingdom has transferred a naval army to Hangzhou Bay, and from the information we have heard from our spies, it seems that the Great Chu Kingdom intends to use this as a base to build a navy to rival my Sakura Empire, although in two or three years, this is an impossible thing, but we can't turn a blind eye!"

"But the battle of Hangzhou Bay is just a smoke, our army's real goal is here, all the way up the estuary of the Tianhe River, directly into Taihu Lake, landing from here, smashing Huanglong, and inserting it from behind the enemy's heart, so that he can take care of one and lose the other!"

"This plan, I named it Sakura, in the next few days, the monarchs will run around for my empire, non-stop, the ship does not collect the sails, but I believe that as long as we unite as one, this large rich land will finally fall into the hands of my empire, and this will become the most beautiful cherry blossom in my cherry blossom empire. ”

Relying on the Penglai Islands, the Japanese navy suddenly scattered like water spiders, weaving a chaotic web, their attacks, without purpose, no goal, and even without seeking results, bloomed everywhere, everywhere beacons, even if they wanted.

Shrimp Island is a coastal island less than a mile away from the coast, and even at low tide, the island and the land will be exposed to the land, the area of Shrimp Island is not large, but there is a raised hill in the middle, and at the top of the hill, there is a lighthouse building.

Now this lighthouse has been re-expanded, and even a beacon tower has been built on it, guarded by several local young fishermen, their task is very simple, is to use the lighthouse's vision to explore the movement of the sea, because of the internal relocation order, so there are no fishermen in the coastal area, so the boats that appear on the sea, more than ninety percent are Japanese people.

After seeing the Wa, they light a beacon fire and their mission is completed, and then they hide in a secret cave on the island to prevent the Watars from coming ashore, and if the signs are not right, they can take a small boat back to land.

On the top of this new beacon tower, the fifteen-year-old fur dog was lying on the roof of the warm shed exposed to the sun, his eyes slightly squinted, as if he was napping, but his eyes were sweeping the sea to the northeast.

The fur dog is known as Xia Dahai, the ancestors of the family are fishermen, and the father of the fur dog is a sailor of the imperial Yangzhou Navy, but a few years ago, after the Japanese people entered the Penglai Islands, his father died in battle, and the sea dog has always wanted to avenge his father, but the navy has strict recruitment requirements, and the sea dogs who are not old enough are basically no play, and finally can only be selected into the second line of beacons, although it is only a militia nature, but it is a reserve, if you perform well, you can be promoted into the regular army.

The fur dog has grown up on the beach since he was a child, a fierce man jumped into the sea, can not bubble for half an hour, potential in the sea, and his body that seems to have thin arms and legs, its strength is not small, the fur dog is familiar with the sea, as if familiar with his own body.

Human eyes can't look at the sea for too long, and if they look too long, they will hallucinate and even become blind!

The fur dog suddenly sat up, his squinting eyes stared at the boss, because the weather was very good today, so the vision was very good, and when the seven sea boats appeared on the sea, the fur dog immediately caught the white sail shadow on the masts.

"Uncle Zheng, there are boats on the sea, it's that kind of big ship, there are four of them, no, there may be one behind!" the fur dog shouted, which immediately alarmed the man below, holding a pu fan, holding a small teapot and sipping tea in his hand.

Well, he does look very old, his temples are frosty white, and his face is full of wrinkles, like an old man in his sixties and seventies, but in fact this man is only in his early forties, and he is also the best fisherman near Shrimp Island.

When Zheng Yuan heard this, he immediately jumped up, looked at the sea in front of him, looked at the ship that had been exposed with squinted eyes, and said, "Sure enough, it is a warship of the Japanese people, a sea dog, immediately light the firewood and throw those wolf dung on it!"

Wolf dung is not only widely used in the north, it is really rarely used in the south, but it is rarely used, it does not mean that it is rare, on the contrary, in the wild jungle in the south, wolf dung is everywhere, it is not difficult to collect, after the wolf dung is ignited, there will be a straight wolf smoke, as long as it is not a strong wind, the wolf smoke can rise high, condense but not disperse, far away dozens of miles, can be seen clearly.

On the coastal coast, a beacon pier will be set up every thirty miles, and at the same time, the beacon pier is not only a line, but like a spider, and the beacon fire is not lit randomly, but there are rules to follow, so although it is a hundred miles away, the garrison in the inland can also distinguish the approximate location of the Japanese people.

The rise of the wolf smoke did not make the Japanese retreat, but directly along the coast, seven large boats, down more than 300 Japanese people, straight to the nearby fishing village, of course, they could not find anything in the empty fishing village, but it was still a smash, the last fire, the fishing village burned.

Burning down the fishing village seemed to be no fun, and more than 300 people went straight to the beacon pier not far from the coast, and destroying the beacon pier was also one of their tasks.

"More than 300 people, that's it, but it's okay, Zhang Hu took your battalion to harvest them for me!" The commander of the Great Chu Army, who was guarding a nearby town, was obviously a little lost, and turned his head to a battalion lieutenant.

"Okay!" Zhang Hu was overjoyed when he heard this, and he made a good start, and immediately ignored the envious eyes of several colleagues, quickly gathered his subordinates, and rushed straight to the area infested by the widows.

In Zhang Hu's camp, there are scout cavalry who specialize in spying, although there are not many 300 Japanese people, but they are not few, and the coastal area is almost uninhabited at this moment, so the search is still very fast.

"Four or five hundred people, hehe, let these arrogant emperors come to taste the taste of my Kimura's long knife!" "The commander of this group of Japanese people heard that there were only five hundred emperors, and immediately dismissed the plan to evacuate immediately.

Both sides were clearly arrogant and did not take each other seriously, so a battle of no more than a thousand men broke out in an open wilderness, while at the same time, such skirmishes were staged one after another along the entire coastal coast.

And if you add up these small-scale collisions, the troops invested by both sides have reached hundreds of thousands.

The first wave of collisions officially kicked off.
