Maori Yuan was the god of the Maori family. Seeing that he had made up his mind, everyone stopped persuading him and instead discussed the details of the withdrawal of troops.

The Maori family had a large army of 50,000 in Kitakyushu, and the civil servants and servants who accompanied the army were almost 100,000, and various supplies. It was not easy to withdraw them at one time.

First of all, the time for retreat. Since you have decided to retreat, the faster the better. If one day the Ming fleet captured the Guanmen Strait, the Maori army would have to stay in Kitakyushu for the New Year. At that time, there were strong enemies outside, and there was no way out for retreat, and the supplies could not be sent, so the army could only surrender.

But we cannot retreat hastily. If the plan is not thorough, the itinerary is leaked, and the Otoyo army is chased by the tail of the ranks and attacked by sea and land, the Maori army, which is no longer interested in fighting, will also suffer heavy losses.

After discussion, it was obvious that the most important thing was to defend the Guanmen Strait. Mori Moto ordered in a deep voice: "Transfer to Murakami Yoshimoto, and ordered him to lead the Indo-shima navy to restrain the Ming Dynasty fleet and be sure to grasp their whereabouts at all times."

"Hi." The retainer responded in a deep voice.

"Tell Jing Long that he would hand over all the command of the army to Yuanchun, and return to Mensicheng quickly to command all the navy troops, and be sure to block the enemy ships outside the Guanmen Strait and organize our army to retreat safely."

"Hi."

"Tell Yuanchun that he should organize our army to retreat, be cautious and fast, and try to retreat to the Guanmen Strait before the enemy noticed it." Maori Yuan coughed twice and said, "I feel that the weather will change these days, let him find a rainy day to retreat."

Although in this way, the muskets of the Maori family and even the baking of the Murakami Navy were no longer used, the terrifying firearm advantages of the Ming Dynasty people would also disappear. Once their guns were silenced, they would be like tigers without teeth, and they would not be afraid.

"At that time, if the Ming Dynasty fleet dared to show up, let the Mishima Navy attack them on both sides, causing them to pay a heavy price!" Maorimoto slapped the low table heavily, and instantly reappeared his majestic and domineering spirit when he was young.

"Tell them not to interfere in my Maori family anymore!"

"Hi!" The retainers were immediately excited and immediately went down to pass the order.

When there was no one else in the house, Maori Yuan fell down like a deflated ball. With the help of Changsun Longyuan, he slowly lay back on the mattress. When he turned his head, he watched the dead leaves of the maple tree in the yard being swept down by the west wind, Yuan Jugong shed tears again.

This time it was for myself.

He knew that he had not had enough time, and no matter what the final result of this battle, he had no hope of getting involved in Jiuzhou again in his life.

"Oh..." Maorimoto sighed.

Sixteen-year-old Long Yuan asked in confusion: "Oh, why are Ji Yijiang crying again?"

"Grandfather, I am so moved that I was born too early to show off with the heroes of the world. I will have to end the curtain first." Maori Yuan smiled self-deprecatingly, held Takamoto's hand, and said with great enthusiasm: "You must learn from your two uncles and take on the heavy responsibility as soon as possible. One day, you must take the Maori family back to Kyushu!"

"Hi, oh Chicken Yijiang." Longyuan responded in a deep voice, his eyes full of eager longing. He believed that he would definitely surpass his superiority!

Unfortunately, there is another old saying in China, saying, "The eagle gives birth to a night owl is worse than the other generation."

The order of Yuan Jugong was soon passed through the Guanmen Strait and reached the Maori army camp in Hakata Rika Mountain.

After receiving the report, Yoshikawa Motoharu was frowning and thinking hard, his little brother Kobayakawa Takake was here.

Although neither of them was Maori, they were both sons of Maori Motozumi who were just a fake one. Just like Harumu Arima adopted his son to the Omura family to achieve the goal of integrating the Omura family. In order to enhance the strength of the family, Mori Moto adopted his second son to his brother-in-law Yoshikawa family as his adopted son. He adopted his third son to his niece son-in-law Kobayakawa family as his adopted son.

When the two became the governors of the two families, the strength of the Maori family suddenly increased greatly. Moreover, the two brothers were both wise and brave, brave and good at fighting. They were the two most shining flags of the Maori army, known as the "Maori Two Rivers"!

What is even more rare is that under Yuanju's teaching, the two brothers were in harmony and united. The famous "Three Eagle Training" refers to the allusion of Maori Yuanju's teaching of their brothers.

"Ani, have you received my father's order?" Kobayakawa asked.

"Well, Ou Doudou." Yuanchun nodded and said with a dim expression: "Although I know it is an inevitable thing, it is really a pity to withdraw the troops like this. And I can't explain it to Jianzhongmang and Shizhongmang and others."

"I can only be sorry for them." Kobayakawa is not as emotional as his second brother. He said in a deep voice: "I am here to say goodbye to you. I am about to retreat to Menshi Castle. Please be sure to take good care of my subordinates."

"Don't worry, I will arrange for them to withdraw their troops first. I will lead the head of the headquarters in person." Yuanchun nodded and adjusted his smile and said, "Ou Doudou, don't be so serious, as if you are separated from life and death."

"I want to annihilate the Ming Dynasty's fleet." Kobayakawa suddenly said: "This time they bully people too much. If they don't teach them a painful lesson, they will be even more arrogant and unscrupulous in the future."

"Nani?" Yuanchun was stunned when he heard this, "Father meant that if the Ming Dynasty people took the initiative to attack, they would teach them a lesson. They did not let you take the initiative to attack."

"I didn't want to take the initiative." Kobayakawa shook his head slowly and said, "I want to sell a flaw and ask you to get into the trap. This will not be considered a violation of my father's order."

"What are you going to do?" Yuanchun hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"I'm going to build a floating bridge on the west side of Mensi Castle. Such a big noise will definitely not be hidden from the Otomo family's ninjas." Kobayakawa and Motoku walked to the map and drew a short piece on it with a charcoal stick.

"The Otomo family will definitely ask the Ming Dynasty fleet to help them destroy the floating bridge." Kobayakawa continued: "When the Ming Dynasty attacks, I will first let the Kobayakawa navy and the Raijima navy form a formation to block the attack at Tannourakou. In the morning, I will order the Kobayakawa navy to meet the enemy, pretend to be defeated and fight and retreat, and attract them to Tannourakou."

"The Ming Dynasty fleet must have doubts when he saw the fjords ahead narrow, but the turbulent trend at noon would change from east to west, sucking their ships into the altar..." Kobayakawa lowered his voice and said, "I heard that it was not necessary to drive the boat to people, but it was all about wind and waves. The sudden change of trend would definitely make them helpless and thus have a mess!"

As he said that, he used a charcoal stick to a little Ganzhu Island at the end of Tannosu, saying, "I will let the Injima navy ambush here, and the trend will change and immediately break out. He will attack the Ming Dynasty's fleet on both sides, and at all costs, wipe them out in Tannosu!"

Kobayakawa grinned and said, "It's a pity that they didn't know the story of 'Heizhisheng throwing the anchor into the sea'. When they tied their leader to the anchor and threw it into the sea, they lost a little flavor."

"How confident are you?" Yoshikawa asked.

"The Ming Dynasty only had dozens of ships, and my troops were ten times their strength, and my advantage was in me!" Kobayakawa said confidently: "If we can't defeat this mere Ming Dynasty fleet if we occupy the right time, place, and people, we can't defeat this mere Ming Dynasty fleet, then what's the point of fighting for hegemony? It's just a joke to fight for it."

"Well..." Yuanchun was somewhat convinced by him and asked again: "Where is the west side of the strait?"

"I will arrange for the Nojima Navy to guard the west side, but it will not affect your army's safe retreat." Kobayakawa pointed at the bottom of the word "V" and said: "Besides, I have confirmed through the people of the Yujiu family that the Ming Dynasty fleet is all in the east, and they can't fly back to the west even if they put wings."

After a pause, he looked at his second brother apologetically and said, "The only problem is that my temptation to attract the enemy will cause trouble for you to retreat quietly."

"It's okay." Yuan Chun smiled generously: "Nearly 100,000 people retreat, it's impossible to hide it from the other party. I will leave more people here to cut off the back."

"Thank you Ou Doudou, I won't let the Maori family be shamed!" Kobayakawa finally had a smile on his face, hugged and said goodbye to his brother, and whispered: "You always remember to protect yourself. I can't bear to lose another brother."

"You selfish guy." Yuanchun patted his shoulder hard and said with a smile: "I wish you a long-lasting martial arts fortune, Ou Doudou!"

"I wish you a long-lasting martial arts fortune, Ani."

The Maori family army fought for many years and was well-trained. It took only three days to prepare for the trip. It had quietly withdrawn some of the troops from the front line of Rikashan, asking them to transport supplies, dressed up as teams for transporting food and grass, and quietly retreated to Menshi Castle.

On the first day of the winter moon, misty rain and sleet fell from the sky, and the wind and snow were blurred, and the vision became very poor.

This was the best opportunity to retreat. That night, Yoshikawa Motoharu ordered the departure, and put the lights in the camp open and many armored straw men on the Wangstow so that the ninjas of the Otoyo army dared not get too close to them, so as not to notice abnormal movements in the camp.

Teams of feet quietly withdrew from the camp that had been holding for half a year. In order to reduce the movement, they were holding pieces and horses wrapped in hooves. Only the leading warriors led the way with a lantern. The people behind could only look at the white cloth sewn on the back of the man in front and followed closely behind to prevent them from falling behind.

In fact, Yuanchun knew that this would not be of much use. Because his younger brother has been building a pontoon bridge in a big way these days, the Otoyo army probably had guessed that they were going to retreat.

However, the deception that should be done is not sloppy. The Otoyo army will not know which day they will withdraw. As long as they stay away for a night, they will avoid many unnecessary losses.

As expected, Yoshikawa Motoharu did what he said, and it was the palace queen who set out. Most of the generals had already led their troops away first, which made him look a little lonely. The Akitsuki Wengen and Takahashi Kinzen, who flattered him to the sky, were all left in Takihashi Castle and did not come out to see him off.

Although in order to express their apology, Yoshikawa ordered his retainers to lead thousands of volunteer soldiers and horses to stay and help them defend the city. But everyone knows that they were abandoned by the Maori family...

"Lord, it's time for us to set off." The samurai of the Yoshikawa family moved his war horse. Yoshikawa Motoharu sighed, turned over the horse, and followed the main troops of the palace behind him to silently leave the brightly lit camp.
