Funakoshi Masayuki didn't think much about being able to make a great contribution to this, he only thinks about turning defeat into victory now, in order to let the family escape the fate of being disposed of, although the lord is a member of the Takayama family, but if two naval armies are wiped out in succession, the Takayama family has completely lost control of the ocean, such a big event, no matter how good the relationship between the lord and the hall is, what is the use, even if the main hall thinks of kindness, if the lord does not seppuku, he will definitely not escape the fate of being changed. And he will become a ronin because of this, what a terrible thing, and where should he go when the time comes, to vote for the Maori naval army, this is absolutely unwilling, even if they win at sea, but on land, although the Kinoshita family is equally powerful, but the Takayama family has a national collapse, so he doesn't think that the other party can withstand the bombardment of the country.

In this way, for the Kumano naval army, there is only one way to go, taking advantage of the national collapse to defeat it directly, and then taking advantage of the great victory to recapture Awaji, by then the Kinoshita family will have no naval strength to compete with the main family.

Although he thought thoughtfully, Saito Rizo didn't do it, he didn't care if the Kumano Naval Army could defeat the enemy, he cared about whether he could bring the Five Gates National Collapse back intact, so he heard that the other party really wanted to do this, seeing that the distance from Toba was constantly shortening, Saito Rizo hurriedly said: "No, Funakoshi-sama, the projectile is only one hundred and fifty rounds, but there are hundreds of enemy ships, and once it is attacked, then it will inevitably attract the Li family's naval army, how to deal with it then?" ”

"Saito-sama doesn't need to panic, I can't wipe out all the enemy ships with just one hundred and fifty projectiles, and I don't have such a plan, so I just need to sink the enemy's twenty or so Ataka." Funakoshi Masaichi said as he pointed to the closest place to the shore in the direction of Toba.

Following the direction of his finger, Saito Rizo, who was also standing on the top of the third floor of the Ataka ship, immediately looked into the distance, and after seeing it, he was even more dissatisfied, it was obvious that those ships were in the innermost part of the Toba Ridge, if he wanted to include these big ships in the range, he would have to advance at least two hundred meters more to get it, so wouldn't it be only about three hundred meters away from the Toba Ridge, which could not help but make him feel worried. Although he is not familiar with water warfare, if it is only a distance of 300 meters, then the enemy will not arrive in an instant, as long as the enemy is in front of him, then the collapse of the country will not be of any use.

When he thought of this, he only heard that Saito Rizo had no room for relaxation, and directly and resolutely refused: "No! If Funakoshi-sama had to do this, he would have to return to Owari immediately with Gomon Kunibang. As he spoke, he walked under the top of the boat.

It's just that when he just turned around, he remembered that he really couldn't go, this was not on land, but in the sea, even if he could leave in a small boat, what would happen to the collapse of the country.

And Funakoshi Masayi didn't say what he thought at first, and he waited for this moment, only to hear him say: "Saito-sama, I can't help you at sea." ”

"You... Bastard! Saito Rizo couldn't help but be furious when he heard the other party's tone.

But just when he was furious, he saw that Funakoshi Masayuki did not continue to stimulate him with words, but suddenly knelt down in front of him, and said emotionally: "Lord Saito, once the Kumano Navy is destroyed, life and death in the inferior class are not important, what matters is the process of the main hall to dominate the world, so please also ask the lord to reluctantly help the Nine Ghost family once, if the main hall is punished in the future, it will not let the wise family be implicated in any way." Saito-sama, I beg for you! ”

Saito Rizo is a person who eats soft and does not eat hard, seeing the other party behave like this, he is really not angry for a while, and at this moment he can already see that there are three or five ships on guard in the sea ahead, if it drags on like this, and when the enemy ships are killed from the Toba Barrier, it is difficult to run, although there are many more ships on his side than the other party, but there are only five hundred sailors in the boat, and even in addition to rowing, there are not many who can fight, how can this battle be fought!

"If there is any mistake in the collapse of the country, I don't need to deal with it in the main hall, I will kill you on this ship first, hum!" After Saito Toshizo finished speaking, he immediately stepped off the roof of the ship and let his gunners prepare.

Although the ship is eager to rescue, but he is not a reckless person, he knows that this national collapse is definitely the weapon that the main hall fancies, even if Saito Toshizo doesn't say it, he will not let it be in danger, so when he saw that the three or five ships of the Maori Shimadzu combined fleet in front of him had begun to turn around and wanted to return to Toba to prepare to report the news, he immediately concentrated the five hundred sailors under his command on the other two Ataku ships that did not have the collapse of the country, and rushed towards the gate of the water village, the task of these two Aya is to block the gate of the water village, as long as they can withstand it for a while, Then it is enough to sink the other party's house, as long as there is no houseship, he doesn't believe that Maori and the Shimazu army will not panic.

Just when the Gomon Kunikai was preparing for the Sanjo Residence, at this time, the Kumano Naval Army Toba was already approaching the position of 300 meters, and seeing that the more than 20 large ships in the place were almost within the effective range, Saito Toshizo did not dare to hesitate and immediately ordered to bombard the enemy.

After the two loud bangs, the collapse of the other two Ataka ships also roared, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth, but it was much more shocking than the iron cannon.

And after this loud bang, five large projectiles were shot directly at the opponent's Ataku ship with gunsmoke, although these gunners of the Wise Family did not practice for long, but due to the huge size of the Ataku ship, and the fact that it was docked motionless in the Toba Bar at the moment, and was concentrated together, so in addition to one projectile falling into the water and causing a huge splash, the other four projectiles directly hit the opponent's four Ataka ships.

Although the hull of the house is huge, it is still made of wooden planks, how can it resist the attack of the Sumikokuni collapse, all the ships that are hit by the hull, the hull and splints are still damaged, and more importantly, the heavy projectile directly chiseled through the hull, and suddenly a large amount of seawater poured into the ship. The four hitted Ataka boats were directly chiseled through a hole with a diameter of almost half a meter.

If it's just an ordinary water leak, then there are some remedies, but the half-meter-large giant hole, it's impossible to think about it, plus at this moment, the sailors of the Maori Shimazu United Navy have been concentrated on the shore in large numbers, and there are only three or five guards in the boat, and there is nothing they can do.
