Mensi City and Chijianguan on the opposite bank shine on the sky, reflecting the golden light in the narrow strait.

Snowflakes mixed with rain hit Kobayakawa Takake's gorgeous armor. His face was covered with white frost but he didn't feel anything. He only stared at the inside and outside of the strait with concentration.

The Guanmen Strait was turbulent, and it was much more difficult to build a pontoon bridge than expected. But within three days, he built a pontoon bridge on the sea with the 300 small boats he had plundered.

He originally planned to build three seats, but firstly there were not so many boats, and secondly, there was too late to go.

Fortunately, there are large troops guarding both sides of the strait, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. It’s just that the speed of crossing the sea is slightly slower, but it is several times faster than the transportation of ships back and forth.

Of course, the more important purpose of his pontoon bridge was to liberate his navy from the ferry mission and concentrate his efforts against the invading Ming Dynasty fleet!

During these three days, Kobayakawa sent people to search for wooden boats everywhere and blocked the Guanmen Strait. I believe that the news had been discovered by the ninjas of the Otomo family, and it should have been heard by the Ming people.

Unfortunately, Kobayakawa waited for them for three days and did not see any trace of the Ming Dynasty people, which made him feel a little anxious.

"Did the Ming Dynasty retreat when they saw the trouble?" His naval commander, Ichikawa, said: "There are 800 warships in the strait and more than 10,000 naval soldiers, so it is normal that they dare not come in."

"If the Ming Dynasty people were so timid, we would have nothing to regret." Kobayakawa reached out to pick up Xuehua and sneered: "Maybe they were going to launch another attack when we crossed the sea."

"But it's raining now, they won't come, right?" Ichikawa said.

"There's no way. I, Ani, is obviously super strong but extremely cautious," Kobayakawa sighed, "I have to wait until it rains before I can start."

As he said that, he sighed and said, "I hope it will clear tomorrow morning."

After saying that, he felt that this was too inappropriate, so he added: "Of course it is also great to continue raining. I will send the soldiers back safely, and there will be a chance to fight in the future."

In that room, although Yoshikawa Motoharu was very careful in his arrangements, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves when it was dawn.

"Report, lord, Otoyo is catching up!"

"Ah, so fast?" Yoshikawa Motoharu couldn't help but be shocked. It seemed that he had left the camp and was found out in advance by the Otomo's intelligence website!

He thought he could wait until dawn to reveal himself, so that the other party would order troops to catch up with him, and he would have already retreated to the city of Mensi.

"Do you know who is leading the troops and how many people are there?"

"I saw the military flag that stood up in the snow in Huadao! More than 10,000 pursuers!"

"Everyone behind the palace, stop and we will meet the Kyushu military gods for a while!" Hearing this name, Yoshikawa Motoharu sighed, pulled out his own sword, and shouted sternly: "Form a formation! You must never let an enemy go!"

"Hi!" The eight thousand Yoshikawa troops responded in unison, shocking the birds flying everywhere in the mountains and forests.

By the time Otoyo's army caught up, it was already bright. Yoshikawa's army was divided into three teams, with fish scales on the left and right geese walking in the center to act in a garrison, and was ready to face the battle!

Under the Tachihua family army with double snake patterns, six strong servants were carrying a carriage, and sitting on them was the incarnation of Thunder God, the God of the Kyushu Army, the undefeated God of War, and the soul of Ojo - Tachihua Daoxue.

Ichikawa Yoshihiro had already boarded the ship and personally led a hundred warships from the Kobayakawa family to fight.

Tannosu is a trumpet-shaped fjord with a wide east and narrow west. Uraguchi to the west is the cape where Menji Castle is located, with a sea surface of only two hundred feet wide. Uraguchi to the east is a full four miles wide. People who are not familiar with the terrain will suffer unknowingly.

Of course, now, his mission is to stop the enemy ships in Puzhong, prevent them from approaching Mensi City, and buy time for the ferry troops.

The Kobayakawa family has always been famous for its naval army. Now the Maori family is dominating the western country, so its strength has naturally increased significantly, with a total of 300 large and small warships. However, the Kobayakawa did not allow them to fight together, but instead faced the enemy in three groups.

Because Kobayakawa also understood the characteristics of firearms of the Ming Dynasty warships - the Ming Dynasty's artillery that could be fired far-fly, fired solid shells, with limited accuracy and limited damage to personnel and warships.

What can really cause huge damage is the shotgun with close shots.

As for the rocket that can burn ships, I think it would not cause much trouble if you have quick eyes and quick hands and throw them into the sea as soon as they fall, right?

So in Kobayakawa's view, as long as you don't advance and spread the formation, there will be no big losses, and it will be no problem to stop the enemy for a whole morning.

In the morning, the Maori army had already been driven over. As for the civilians and servants behind, it depends on their luck to pass. Moreover, Kobayakawa did not intend to let them all go, otherwise he would use anything to lure the Ming Dynasty fleet into the import?

But as soon as the Ming Dynasty fired, he found that he was simply thinking. It turns out that hearing is not as good as seeing. Just hearing people will still underestimate the power of the Ming Dynasty!

He stood at a high place and saw a cannonball shot over a mile away, which immediately penetrated a guardrail of a ship, smashing the eight or nine warriors behind the guardrail to blood and blood, looking like they were strung with candied haws.

"Lying down!" Ichikawa Jingtao strictly implemented the order and did not rush to order a rowing attack. He could drag it for a while.

This is the first time Wang Rulong has seen the Japanese fleet that is not given to him by the stern deck of the 101 ship.

He once thought that the Japanese would have a pig-surgery tactic... Oda Nobunaga felt offended.

"Damn it, we have experienced the fact that we can't beat us when we are far away." Wang Rulong spat, feeling offended.

"It seems that the way of flying kites is not invincible." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "War is not a monster after all."

"Hehe." Wang Rulong was not in a hurry to change the formation, but only cursed at the messenger: "Blow the flag and tell the gunners, damn it, they are despised by the little Japanese, let them do it!"

Mr. Zhao has been with the ship for a month and a half, and he can't do anything. In addition to training police cadres and helping his nephew give advice, he also did a serious task, which is to train flag language for the commemorative officials. If you can't play flag language, why do you have the nerve to call the flagship?

In fact, it is not difficult to learn flag language, but the difficult thing is to teach them pinyin. Out of a narrow nationalist heart that does not want to belittle themselves, Mr. Zhao taught them phonetic notes of Chinese characters, not Latin letters...
