Chapter 40: The Kuroda Family's Water Army

"Hey! Lord, what should we do next? It's good to kill the army directly to Harima Country in one go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Funaki Tsunemoto said with a smile.

"Okay, Funaki-sama, we're still ...... today" Kobayakawa Takakei was about to say something just now, but was suddenly interrupted in the middle of his sentence.

"Report! Lord, there is a fleet ahead. At this time, Hiraga Takakei trotted over and shouted loudly, and his voice seemed a little nervous.

"What? There is a fleet, is it merchant ships? Takakei Kobayakawa was surprised and rushed from the side of the ship to the bow of the boat. Follow the direction of Takakei Hiraga's finger.

Kobayakawa Takakei squinted his eyes and looked carefully in the direction of Hiraga Takakei, there were indeed some small black spots several nautical miles away from the Maori army fleet, with Kobayakawa Takakei's many years of experience in commanding the navy, there was no need to think about it at all, this was indeed a naval army.

"Whose water army is this? There doesn't seem to be another navy nearby! Could it be the Miyoshi family's Awaji water army, or the Kono family's water army? Gang Jingzhong received the report and also ran over quickly.

"It seems that it is estimated to be the Kuroda family, you must know that the fleet of the Miyoshi family will not come here, and the Kuroda family will not let this happen. Damn, didn't the spies say that the Kuroda family doesn't have a navy? How could the Kuroda family have such a large number of fleets, so it seems that this battle is not easy to fight! Bao Jiu Jingsheng said with some surprise, but his judgment was completely accurate.

"Lord, I don't think there is any need to panic, I don't know what the strength of the Kuroda family's navy is. Let's take a look at the situation first, in terms of quantity, the number of Kuroda family's fleet does not seem to be much, if it really fights, the family will not have a chance, and may even be able to annihilate the Kuroda family's naval army in this battle, and then it will be able to cross the coast of the Kuroda family. Takakei Ikuguchi thought about it for a moment and said seriously to Takakei Kobayakawa.

"Hmmm! You're right, this is indeed a safe approach, let's wait for the Kuroda family's fleet to approach, and then the whole army will prepare to attack with artillery. Kobayakawa Takakei looked at the Kuroda family's fleet and said coldly, as if he had a relatively high chance of winning this battle.

"Hey! My lord, I will go down and command at once. After the Hiraga Takakei saluted, he immediately went down and instructed the fleet on how to behave.

"I hope I can defeat the Kuroda family this time." After Hiraga Takakei left, Kobayakawa Takakei, who was surrounded by all the samurai, said a little nervously, he himself didn't know how long it had been, but he had a hunch that this battle would definitely be very difficult for the Mori family, he looked at the Kuroda family fleet in the distance and thought.

"My lord, the number of the Kuroda family's fleet has been counted, there are forty-six ships in total, and we are five nautical miles away." Takakei Hiraga soon ran back to report.

"Well, good, let's see." Kobayakawa Takashi said without a tone, just looking at the direction of the Kuroda family's water army, as if he was thinking about something.

"My lord, three nautical miles away from the enemy, the enemy's ships are already relatively close, and it seems that the enemy ships are very large." Takakei Hiraga came back shortly after.

"The Kuroda family's ship is huge? How big is it? Takakei Kobayakawa asked.

"Lord, I don't know this yet, and I have to get closer to see it clearly." Takashi Hiraga said embarrassedly.

"In that case, let's explore it again." At this time, Kobayakawa Takashi already had some bad premonitions, but he still didn't want to give up, and decided to make a decision after observing it again.

When the distance between the two sides was close to one nautical mile, finally Hiraga Takakei ran over and reported, "My lord, the length of the enemy ship is estimated to be more than twice the length of our flagship, and the width is the same, and it seems to be a Ming ship, this kind of ship has been seen below, and it is not a domestic Ataku ship." ā€

"What, Ming Guoship, there is such a thing? What's going on? Things don't seem to be going to be easy! The entire fleet was ordered to be on alert, and as soon as it approached the Kuroda family's fleet, it immediately launched a cannon attack. Kobayakawa Takakei said solemnly.

"Hey!" The samurai behind Kobayakawa Takakei shouted in unison.

After knowing that the Kuroda family's fleet was mainly composed of Ming Kunifuku ships, the Maori family's fleet was very cautious, not only did it not get faster, but it also slowed down a lot under the order of Kobayakawa Takakei. After a while, slowly the Kuroda family's Mingguo fleet began to approach, and the huge hull of the Mingguo Fukufu ship finally appeared.

"Is this a ship? It's huge! The largest Ataka ship I've ever seen isn't that big. A Maori sailor looked at the fortune boat, his pupils dilated, and said in surprise.

"This ...... Is this the Ming ship? If the family can grab them all, wouldn't the family be able to run rampant on the sea. A bold Maori family ship admiral said with a laugh, already fantasizing about capturing the Kuroda family's fortune boat.

The Kuroda family's ship stopped at a nautical mile from the Maori family's naval fleet, and it was facing the Maori family's naval forces with the side of the ship. No one in the Maori family noticed that the Kuroda family's fortune ships had opened a few small holes in the hull, and of course, those who noticed it didn't know the intentions of the Kuroda family's sailors, so they didn't care about it. Some of the Kuroda family's small boats began to be arranged around the large ships as a form of protection.

"What are the Kuroda family doing? After such a distance, are you already ready to take on the gunwale? Didn't their ship admiral know how to fight in the water? In that case, wouldn't it be better to surrender directly. A Maori sailor said with a smile.

"Hahaha," a few Maori sailors around him laughed as well.

"Everyone, all of you are ready, the victory over the Kuroda family is at this time, please do your best for the Maori family." Kobayakawa Takakei pointed in the direction of the Kuroda family's fleet and shouted loudly.

"Hey," shouted in unison.

As a result, just when the Maori family's sailors suddenly began to speed up, the Kuroda family's fortune boat suddenly made dozens of loud noises, emitting a burst of white mist on the side of the ship, and dozens of black dots smashed towards the Maori family's sailors.

"What's that?" A Maori ship general asked the people around him suspiciously.

"I don't know," his companion said, shaking his head.

"It looks like a big iron ball." There are good eyes to say.

Those black dots that flew quickly were actually the cannonballs fired by the copper cannon on the Fu ship. "Boom", suddenly one of the shells smashed accurately on the deck of a Maori family, this is a small boat that has been around for a long time, just an instant, it smashed Xiaozao out of a big hole, smashed the sawdust overflowing, and after the cabin entered the water, it began to sink slowly.
