After the 3rd, the fleet entered the Kii waterway, and small fishing boats began to peep into the waters around the fleet. Unlike the fishing boats in Tosa Bay, these boats did not seem to be afraid of the Shimazu navy, and they followed the fleet not far away, some of them disappeared after a while, and some of them kept falling behind.

If the fleet sends Xiao Zao to expel him, the fishing boats will flee quickly, and when Xiao Zao returns to his own position, groups of fishing boats will follow up, which is very annoying. The flotilla goes deeper into the Kii waterway, the more fishing boats are being monitored, jumping around the flotilla like a swarm of sea grasshoppers. Chongwen didn't bother to count, and he never wanted to hide his whereabouts, the pirates who were originally going to repair the Kii Waterway didn't need to hide it, it would be troublesome for them to hide after they hid.

The fishing boats became louder, and some of them even approached the flotilla 200 paces away, and some fishermen arrogantly waved their fists at the flotilla, whistled, and hurled insults, jumping and throwing stones.

The fleet sailed off the coast of Mihama Village, which is already Hitaka County in Kii Province, and around the northern headland is Yura Bay. In the distance, I saw a fleet of ships circling out from behind the promontory, heading towards the fleet of Longwang Island.

At this time, the northeast wind was rising, and the opposite fleet was in the upwind outlet, stopping the Shimazu fleet head-on, and the battle flag of the Hachiman Bodhisattva was fluttering. Four ships and more than 30 boats guard the largest Kumano ship in the center, which is a square circle of large and small boats. There is no doubt that it is the Kumano Naval Army, and when you see the Kumano ship, you will know that the family governor Nine Ghost Takara is in the array.

This Nine Ghost Takashi is obviously much more capable than Kayama Shijiu, and the battle formation has a shape, and this formation can be adjusted at any time according to the movement of the enemy ships, and it can advance or retreat. There are many enemy ships, many people, the battle formation is more sophisticated, and it is in the upper hand, and Huashan Zijiu's face is pale.

What kind of ship formation, in front of the strong ship cannon, Chongwen took a small gold coin in his hand, threw it up and caught it, looking relaxed and leisurely. He was hesitating to blast the poor guy across from him to slag.

The Kumano naval army was in full array, and the upper deck was surrounded by a one-man high wooden bonus, and the back of the castle was full of pirates ready to fight. However, like the shield walls of the Shimazu naval forces, this kind of castle was meaningless to the tall Hemogremp ship, because the stern of the Hemogram was more than a foot higher than the Kohaya freeboard, eight feet higher than the deck of the Seki, and 3-4 feet lower than the well tower in the bow and stern of the Kumano ship.

Even if no firearms are used, the bird boat is condescending, and the city will not play much role. What's more, the ship is too fragile to withstand the collision of the Bloodbird ship, and the only thing Chongwen has to worry about is the Kumano Water Army's jumping gang.

However, according to the equipment level of the Dakang sailors, not to mention the possibility of jumping the gang is very small, even if they jump on the ship, those unarmed pirates with bamboo guns and hats, and Dakang soldiers with full armor and sharp blades are really pitiful. There are also a few Kumano sailors in armor, wearing sharp swords, but Chongwen looks at it intently, it is black painted bamboo armor.

Even if there is only one Anointed Blood Bird ship, Chongwen, who has the son and mother gun, is sure to kill the Kumano Naval Army. He had never worried about the Kumano Navy, he was worried about the Hosokawa Navy, which was Chongwen's fierce rival at sea. There were too many Hosokawa sailors, and if they entangled the Bloodbird Ship with a few huge Ataku ships, those Guanshu and Kohaya might end up drowning the people of Ryuo Island.

So he still needs a helper, and the Nine Ghosts Takashi is obviously more qualified than Kayama Shijiu, so he can only play a single knife to go to the meeting. He asked Shihisa Kayama to signal the Shimazu Navy not to move, and then ordered the Bloodbird Ship to sail out of the Shimazu Navy and move closer to the Kumano Navy.

As the Bloodbird ship approached 80 paces, a voice on the Kumano boat shouted: "The children of the Kayama family, you led a large army to the Kii waterway, hoping to plunder, are you deceiving me that there is no one in Kishu?"

Chongwen made a color to Xu Hai, Xu Hai coughed, and said loudly: "We are the sailors of Dakang Longwang Island, and the Fangjin Naval Army is our police, we are not here to rob you, we are to trade in Sakai, and to stop us is to be the enemy of Dakang!"

Chongwen listened to Xu Hai's nonsense with Nine Ghosts Takara, while closing one eye and aiming at the Kumano boat with his right eye. 60 paces away, still too far, turned his head to see the Lai Cai Niu standing behind him, he handed the gold coin into the giant's hand, pointed to the flag of the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman on the opposite side, and said, "Can you hit that flag?"

Laicai Niu laughed, took the gold nugget, also took a look, picked up his right arm and threw the gold fiercely.

Hearing the shouts of the Anointing Blood Bird Boat, the Nine Ghosts Long's conscience shook violently, this is a warship from the Heavenly Empire Dakang! For the great Chinese country on the other side of the sea, the Nine Ghosts Longliang, like all the servants, had both respect and awe in his heart, and it was an innate feeling that penetrated into his bones.

He hesitated, he knew about the rumors from the shogunate, and he wanted to exchange Kangshang for tribute. Almost all the wealthy clans are staring at the Kang people in their own territory, this is a great opportunity to please the shogunate, but unfortunately the Yasu people are in Hirado, Goto and a few places, not anywhere else, and now the Kang people suddenly appeared in front of him, is this the blessing of the Hachiman Bodhisattva.

Enemies of the Kang people, this kind of thing he couldn't think of in the past, offending the Heavenly Empire, who knows what the consequences are. However, if you have made a contribution to the shogunate, is it possible to change to a Kii guard, at least a few local positions? . .

While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt that something yellow, orange, orange, and gold flew from the opposite boat, not an arrow, and it was certainly not a roasting fire arrow, not a rod fire arrow, and certainly not a stone. That thing was obviously thrown by manpower, and the manpower on the ship was so great that he actually threw a small object 60 steps away!

The thing slammed down on the side of the ship and fell into the sea, and he couldn't believe his eyes: it was gold.

Before he could react, the slowly approaching Dakang warship on the opposite side kept flying out gold and silver, and some of them landed on the deck, causing a scramble among the Kumano pirates, and most of them fell into the sea. But those Dakang warriors behind the daughter wall didn't care at all, and still giggled and threw gold and silver at the Kumano pirates, as if they were competing to see who threw far and accurately.

This is the most incredible thing that the Nine Ghosts have encountered in Longliang's life, could it be that Dakang is so rich that he wants to smash himself to death with gold? He realized that this was a ploy of the enemy army, and so much gold and silver fell on his ship, so could his own sailors still be able to fight? I am afraid that in order to compete for this gold, his own people will have to fight for it.

This distance is beyond the range of the bow, and it is impossible to counterattack with a bow and arrow. He pulled out the sword at his waist and shouted frantically: "That's a golden ship!

Sure enough, the pirates who were fighting for gold and silver immediately understood, and rushed towards the Dakang warship. At this moment, tragedy struck, and with a loud bang, countless tiny metals shot at the Kumano Navy, this time not gold and silver, but the iron that harvested life.

With great kinetic energy, those little devils smashed the city and flew the sawdust of the sailboats. If you hit the torso of the human body, the iron will roll and tear between the flesh and blood vessels, and it will be torn to pieces everywhere it goes, and it will not last long if you don't die for the time being. Even if it hits a limb, the rust will kill you a few days later.

The Kugaki Takara couldn't believe it, the Kumano pirates, who were still imposing and morale-high just now, fell down in an instant, either being pierced through their bodies and dying of exhaustion, or rolling and wailing on the deck because of great pain. His ears were buzzing, his whole head was groggy, and he felt like everything was in a dream.

Before he could come to his senses, there was another orange-red thunderbolt in the white smoke on the opposite side, and he sat down on the deck with his legs limp. By the time he had managed to lift his lead-filled head, there were few people standing on the deck, and the sound of the Kang people laughing on the other side was like thunder in his ears.

But he heard the whispers that came and went: "Nine ghosts, nine ghosts, are you still alive... You have two paths, or follow us, and gold can bury you ... Or the way to Dragon King Island, that's how it is now... Nine ghosts... ”

He heard someone shouting to his fleet in a slang voice: "All the sails are down, and the oars are retracted... Otherwise, they will all be bombarded... The Rioter Beheaded!" There were a few more roars, and the heavens and the earth suddenly fell silent, and the frightened screams of the Kumano fleet were gone, and even the cries of the seriously injured and dying seemed to drift away with the wind.

He felt someone rowing a small boat onto his Kumano boat, and the scabbard smashed him, but he didn't feel too much pain. Someone mentioned his bun as a slogan: "He's still alive, take him to the birdboat." ”

The sound of an oar, a djinn grabbed his belt and climbed up the rope ladder up the death-spewing ship, thudding him to the deck. Now he felt pain, as if the bones in his body were about to break, but his mind suddenly sobered up. A tall figure walked up, crouched down and looked at him, talking to him in Mandarin.

A pair of big hands lifted him up and made him sit up, he looked up at the god-like figure of the day, and muttered, "Is it the Asura King Dharma Driver? I have done a lot of bad things, but I salute Hachiman Bodhisattva, you have sent me to hell, please don't reincarnate me in the animal path." ”

Someone translated it into Kang, and the boatload of laughter made him feel like hell. A basin of cold water was poured on his face, and he came to his senses that he was not dead, but still alive.

The voice sounded again, and someone translated it into a Chinese language: "I am Dakang Longwang Island Dachu to the sea, welcome to Dakang Water Division." ”
