Late at night, the young Wakabayashi Jinxing took a boat back to the one-foot house, and saw the anxious Wakabayashi Echigo Mamoru in the conference room. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Wakabayashi Echigomori saw his son-in-law returning, not only was he not happy, but his eyebrows revealed a look of exhaustion.

Wakabayashi sat respectfully and didn't speak. He was able to return safely from the inner city of Funai, in the final analysis, it was for him to return and persuade his father to go out of the city, this matter was extremely dangerous and would even endanger the lives of more than 100 members of the Wakabayashi family. So even if he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to show it on his face, and when he arrived at the conference room from the door, many people had a panicked look on their faces, obviously they all knew that the one-foot house was facing a desperate situation.

Wakabayashi Echigomori glanced up at his son and said in a very frustrated tone, "We just received the news that the Date Navy has made a move. ”

Ruolin Zhenxing's heart suddenly jumped, and the feeling of suffocation was extremely strong, he knew a general content from the fragmentary news, and he didn't realize that Date was already close at hand, which also explained that the atmosphere in the one-foot house was so tense, and he hurriedly asked, "Do it?" Where is it? ”

Wakabayashi Echigo watched Wakabayashi Zhenxing, his eyes were sharp, but he didn't scold too much, and said: "The Shikoku naval army from Uwajima Port launched a fierce attack on Mumu Rei Castle, and the attack spearhead composed of more than 3,000 Date troops easily broke through the defense line that Saeki Yuji had worked so hard to deploy, and then stormed Mumu Rei Castle, Saeki Wei did not lose again and again, and held on to the castle, I am afraid that it will be in danger." But this part is obviously not the main force of the Date family? ”

Wakabayashi Zhenxing felt that his heart suddenly lifted, he didn't expect that the Date family would really come to attack the Bungo Province, the home of the Otomo family, and he would continue to land on Bungo Province from the Echigo Bungo Waterway on Shikoku Island and storm Mumu Rei Castle.

Wakabayashi Echigo Mamoru shook his head and said, "If the entire Bungo Naval Army is dispatched, it is not impossible to defeat the Date Naval Army that travels to and from the Bungo Channel. Do you know? This is not all the members of the Date family's Shikoku Legion, but only a small part of the Shikoku Legion, and the Shikoku Army is not a top army in the Date family, and only the Date family's Shikoku Naval Army is guarding the beachhead. ”

Ruolin Zhenxing knew that his father would not be untargeted, he seemed to be a little confused, stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Could it be that the main force of the Date family's navy has arrived?" ”

Wakabayashi Echigo Shou bowed slightly, and said: "Yes, more than thirty miles away from the southeast side of Fenggo Country, hundreds of warships have arrived, which is also the reason why my father did not dispatch the sailors in the one-foot house, and we only have the power of one blow." ”

"What?" Ruolin Zhenxing was shocked and almost got up from his seat, "Father, is this true?" ”

Wakabayashi Echigomori nodded, stood up, paced back and forth, and then stood still, and said, "These hundreds of warships are not the main force of the Date family, but the Sanyo Dao Naval Army stationed in Okayama Port, ranking second among the Date Naval Army. ”

Wakabayashi Zhenxing's young face was full of horror, he originally thought that the Otomo family was already a powerful force, as the son of the Otomo family's naval general, he was proud of it both now and in the future, but he never thought that everything had changed. It turned out that the powerful Otomo family in front of him was full of irony that the purpose of his return from Funai Castle was to persuade his father to go and fight with the more powerful Date Navy, making him really speechless.

Wakabayashi Echigoshou groaned, raised his head and said, "Shioju, I decided to fight for my father!" ”

Ruolin Zhenxing looked up in a daze, he didn't expect that his father knew that he would definitely lose the battle, but he still decided to face it, which made him decide that it was all because of his arrival that he changed his father's decision, with two lines of tears on his face, and said excitedly: "Father! ”

Wakabayashi Echihou said: "The heart of the house is deep, he will put you back at this time, instead of using you to coerce your father to attack, will there be no backhand, I am afraid that if my father does not obey his will, not only our father and son will die, but the Wakabayashi clan will also be destroyed." Or let your father face the battle, you stay in the house, understand? ”

At the end, Wakabayashi Shou's eyes became sharper, and when he saw Wakabayashi Zhenxing nodding, tears couldn't stop flowing.

Illuminated by the bright sun, the huge Yamayo detachment of the Date Navy lined up in a long column toward Bungo, and as they got closer to their destination, their speed began to slow down and they began to assemble in a diamond shape.

On the tall ironclad ship, Murakami kept giving orders, asking the fleet to be cautious and not to have the slightest neglect, in the eyes of many people, in front of the huge fleet, the Otomo family did not dare to come out to seek death, but he did not have the slightest carelessness.

Murakami was able to surpass the rank of the top five generals in the Ida's naval army, and his background was only a small plus, and most of the rest was obtained by his efforts. He was a man of courage and care, and he treated any enemy with care.

Deputy Morimoto Village arrived at Murakami's side and asked respectfully, "My lord, do you really think those cowards will come to pick up the tiger's beard?" "Morimoto Village, the lord of Naruto Tosabo Castle, the former Hosokawa retainer, and later the Miyoshi family, served as the general of the Awa Water Army. After Date Masahiro conquered Shikoku, Murakami recruited the rain army, and Morimoto Village took refuge, gradually standing out and becoming Murakami's deputy.

Murakami turned his head and smiled: "I hope that the Otomo Water Army can be different from others, otherwise this battle will be too boring." ”

Morimoto shrugged his shoulders and was noncommittal.

Although he still thinks that Murakami Tsuyuki is doing this too much, but as Murakami Tsuyuki said, it is really too boring if he doesn't fight. What's more important is that they have simply become a transport brigade, and they can't mix up much combat exploits.

Murakami ordered: "Expand the search area, and contact the Shikoku Legion to tell them that we have come to Zhoufangtan, please Noyama-sama get ready!" ”

Morimoto Village nodded and was just about to leave, when the eagle eye on the tower suddenly shouted loudly: "An unknown fleet has appeared in the northwest direction, ten miles away, there are about five Guan ships and thirty or forty ships, and the enemy ships have raised their flags, battle flags." Repeat, it's the battle flag. ”

Morimoto Village pondered for a moment and said, "My lord, this is probably the Bungo Navy of the Otomo family. ”

Murakami waved his fist excitedly and said, "I knew, I knew, they wouldn't let us down." The first squadron bypassed to block their way, and the rest of the ships rushed forward in a diamond shape with ironclad ships as spearheads. ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, a series of orders were communicated to the other warships with the flag, and the warships of both sides got closer and closer.
