Chapter 747: A Guest in the Rain
In the midst of the storm, Masato loudly asked the retainers around him when he had seen him defeated.
The retainers and soldiers of the Luo family, who knelt on the deck on the ship and begged Masato to take the opportunity to escape, couldn't help but think about it when Masara asked him this. yes, it seems that the lord of the family has never been defeated in a head-to-head battle, right? Even when he was caught in an ambush circle of nine deaths in Chikugo Province, in the end, the lord still retreated. Could it be that as is said among the people of Hizen, the lord of his own family was really blessed by the Great Bodhisattva of Hachiman?
Thinking of this, everyone's eyes couldn't help but become firm, and their eyes looking at Zhengliang also became hot. Yes, as long as you follow your lord's side, you will definitely be invincible. The lord of his own family is the god of war!
"Undefeated God of War!" Fei Duan on the side stood up first, and then raised the sword in his hand and shouted.
"Undefeated God of War!" The surrounding retainers and soldiers also stood up one after another, raising their weapons and shouting around Masaara. Immediately afterwards, the surrounding Luo family warships were also infected, and one after another chanted the slogan of "Undefeated God of War".
Seeing that the retainers finally broke out into war, Zhengliang's heart couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief. At this time he must not leave the fleet. Because he is a strong spiritual pillar that can hold on to the adversity of the fleet. Once he leaves, this naval army will become a lamb to the slaughter in the eyes of the enemy formation.
At this time, Masarashi looked at the ships on the east side, and saw that there were several particularly tall ships in the opposite fleet, and they were the few Ataku ships in Ouchi's family. Unexpectedly, in order to deal with the Luo family's sailors, the other party even dispatched the Anzhai ship. Immediately, Masato thought of Zhu Qinfeng's Nanban fleet, which had traveled to the Kanto region at this time. If only he was here to help. Then the other party will not dare to act rashly. Then he looked at the sailors on the other side's boat. I watched their movements. It seems that they are ready to celebrate the defeat of their own fleet.
"Humph! Today, I will let you see the power of our own water army! Masarashi gritted his teeth and muttered to himself. Although the most relied on the Sorrowful Jade and the Iron Cannon have lost their power, the combat power of the Luo family's naval army is not bad. We'll see who kills the deer later. However, now it is to further enhance the morale of the army, thinking of this, Zhengliang immediately shouted:
"Someone, raise the main flag for me!"
"Huh? My lord, no! Fei Duan and the others, who were still raising their arms and shouting next to them, were immediately startled when they heard this. The main flag is a marker that represents the location of the governor of the family or the location of the main general, and the main flag of Zhengliang is different from the main flag of the general general . The biggest difference is the main flag used by Masahiro, and the eagle on it is golden. Ordinary retainers would call this main banner the Golden Banner. Whenever this banner appears, it indicates that the family governor Zhengliang is nearby. Similarly, for such a distinction, the daimyo of the wealthy family outside the Luo family is also well known. So as long as the banner of Zhengliang is erected, it is equivalent to telling the enemy that Zhengliang is here, so why don't the enemy rush over like crazy? Fei Duan and the others, who were well aware of this situation, naturally stopped it immediately.
"Listen, tell everybody, this flag is me, I am this flag! As long as this banner does not fall. Then it means that I am still fighting with everyone! Live and die together! Zhengliang shouted at everyone.
"Live and die together!" Zhengliang's words immediately resonated with everyone and aroused everyone's pride. So with the support of the retainers of the Luo family. The golden-striped eagle banner representing Masahiro was erected on the deck.
"Blow the trumpet and prepare to meet the enemy!" Looking at the golden-striped eagle banner fluttering in the wind and rain, Zhengliang shouted violently.
"Undefeated God of War?" At the same time that Masahiro was constantly boosting the morale of his subordinates, in the Ouchi family naval army in the east, Mao Liyuan, who was the general of this war, also heard the shouts of the Luo family's army from the wind and rain, so he immediately smiled slightly, and couldn't help but think in his heart, "Even if you are an undefeated god of war, you will be defeated by the old man today!" "At this time, the camp on the side of the Ouchi family, the naval army of the three families combined, there are already more than 300 warships close to 400, and there are several huge Antaku ships among them, while the Luo family's warships on the opposite side are less than 200, obviously the Ouchi family's camp is in control. Therefore, even Maori Yuan, who has always been calm and self-respecting, can't help but feel confident at this time.
"Huh!" Just when Maori Yuan was proud, Kurokawa Takasho and Aso Takashi next to him both exclaimed in unison. This abnormal behavior made Mao Liyuan can't help but look at these two people.
"Your Excellency, look at it, it's the golden-veined banner, the golden-veined banner that only the eagle of the fat front will erect!" Nozomi Aso's brother, who was already the governor of the Aso family in Chikuzen Province at this time, immediately analyzed.
"A banner that only Hizen eagles would raise? Could it be that the Hizen Eagle is in that water army? Mao Liyuan's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he hurriedly asked.
"Exactly!" This time, Takasho Kurokawa and Takashi Aso both replied in unison.
"Haha......ha God really helps me to wait, give the order, immediately blow the conch horn, and notify the Bojia and Zongjia naval forces in the north to attack at the same time! This time, the eagle must fold its wings here! Mao Liyuan laughed.
At the same time that Mao Liyuan gave the order to blow the conch horn, Masahiro's side had just issued an order to blow the conch horn.
"Woo woo woo ......" The low sound of the conch horn immediately spread in the wind and rain. But both Masahiro and Mao Liyuan couldn't help but change their faces when they heard the sound of this flurry of conch. Because judging from the direction from which the sound of the conch came from, this series of sounds was not emitted by their respective fleets, but from the rear of the Luo family's naval army.
Almost at the same time, both Masashi and Mori looked in the direction of the south. I saw that in the vast white rain scene, as the sound of the conch horn continued to approach, a black spot gradually appeared between the white heaven and earth, but this black spot was getting bigger and bigger......
"Monsters! Monsters! When the black dot completely appeared in the white world, there was a burst of exclamations in the fleets of the Iki Island Hakata, Tsushima clan, and Ouchi clan. It is estimated that these exclamations must have been temporarily recruited to serve as temporary sailors, and they had never seen a ship outside of the Japanese kingdom before.
The ship that appeared in front of me was indeed very huge, at least two hundred meters long, seven or eight meters high, and there were many bamboo poles on the sails of the ship, which seemed to require no one to climb the mast to collect the sails, and a black eagle flag on the mast was particularly eye-catching; The bow of the ship is pointed, the tail is wide, the two heads are upturned, the head and tail are high, and the stern is four floors, so tall that when you come to you, you will find that it is more like a castle towering in front of you. When this giant appeared on the battlefield, whether it was the Luo family's navy, or the Bojia, Zong, and Ouchi families, they all fell into silence.
"Isn't this the lucky ship of the Ming Kingdom?" Masarashi recognized the origin of this ship at a glance, but why did a lucky ship appear here at this time? You must know that even the merchants of the Ming Kingdom who smuggled at sea may not be able to have such a warship-type lucky ship. Could it be the group of Ming pirates entrenched in the waters off Satsuma? The Ouchi family's side actually contacted them? Thinking of this, Zhengliang couldn't help but be shocked.
What worries him even more is that this ship sailed from the coastal waters of the southern Hizen Country controlled by the Luo family, and such a large ship was not followed and monitored by the Luo family navy who was patrolling the waters in that area, which can only show that the Luo family navy who encountered this ship may have suffered an accident.
At this moment, the political conscience is really a little remorseful. He was too confident at first. The preparations for the launch of an attack on Iki Island on the coast were openly prepared, which led to the early discovery of the other party. thus laid such a trap for the Luo family's sailors. Masara forgets that even if he is a lion and the other party is a rabbit, he still has to fight hard. At the beginning, the Luo family should have adopted the strategy of sneaking into the village and shooting without guns to prepare for the attack. It's just that it's too late to say anything.
"Lord...... Lord, you ...... Look at it. Just when Zhengliang was annoyed, Ahri's shocked shout came from the side. (To be continued......)
