"Turn the rudder! Turn the rudder!" After firing a shot, Jiuki Jiarong saw that his ship had almost turned the rudder, and immediately ordered his ship to turn the rudder as well.

"Bang!" A cannonball shattered the ship's side planks with a whistle, and the iron sheet attached to it was torn apart like paper.

Jiuki Jialong watched helplessly as the cannonball penetrated into the cabin under his feet. Before he could wake up from the shock, the entire deck beneath his feet was lifted up by flames and explosive debris. His eyes were filled with broken decks and flying missiles.

The shrapnel and flames seemed to be erupted from hell, mercilessly devouring everything.

I felt like someone was pushing me constantly. When I looked down, I realized that many big holes had been punched in the armor on my body, and blood spurted out. Under the sun, the color of the blood beads was very bright.

He had seen other people's blood flying countless times, but this was the first time Jiuki Jialong saw his own blood flying like this in the sun.

He didn't know how many shrapnel he had been hit by, or how many deck fragments hit him. Jiugui Jialong just felt that his whole body was weak, and his eyesight turned black. Unexpectedly, he didn't feel any pain at all.

He also couldn't understand why it didn't hurt since there were so many wounds on his body.

The sea water surged onto the deck, and Kuki Yoshitaka wanted to move but couldn't. The only place he could move seemed to be his eyelids, which were very heavy and made him want to sleep. After struggling in vain, Kuki Koshiro closed his eyes. A huge shark bit him.

Then another shark bit his arm. More sharks surrounded him and opened their bloody mouths to bite the Japanese aquatic warrior.

At this moment, the Great Bodhisattva Hachiman fell softly into the salty sea water, soaked with blood.

"Amaterasu, please protect us!" Shimazu Yoshihiro witnessed the destruction of Kuki Yoshitaka with his own eyes. After praying to the sky, he ordered his warships to pull up their sails and sail towards the sea outside Nagato.

"Second Master! Should we pursue him or not?"

"Fuck you, we only have a few ships. We have just consumed so much ammunition. Didn't you see how many ships the other party has? Your mind is filled with water! Return!" Li Xiu slapped the helmsman and ordered his men to start returning.

As the end of the Warring States Period, Tokugawa Ieyasu fought many battles in his life. There were victories and defeats. But Tokugawa Ieyasu had to admit that this time he suffered the worst defeat.

News came from the navy that more than sixty ships had been sunk. A dozen more had been damaged, and the navy had lost no less than 3,000 people.

The losses on land were even more severe. He never expected that as a member of the Seven Guns of the Mountain, Kato Kiyomasa would be so vulnerable. He was beaten to the point of collapse after just one encounter. Under the attack of the enemy cavalry,

Under pursuit, only 5,000 remnants of the 20,000 troops came back.

The people sent out were still recruiting people, but Tokugawa Ieyasu knew that the number of people would not increase significantly.

The atmosphere in the big tent was very solemn, and everyone was silent. Tokugawa Ieyasu's face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears!

"How is Kato-kun's injury?" Tokugawa Ieyasu, who had nothing to say, finally spoke.

"The chest was hit, and shrapnel remained in the body. The priest said it would be difficult to survive the day after tomorrow!" Takenaka Shigeharu sighed and said helplessly. Kato Kiyomasa has always been an important ally of Tokugawa Ieyasu, but he didn't expect that he would suffer in today's battle.

Such an injury.

"Takenaka-kun! You and Kato-kun fought this battle together. Please tell me how the enemy defeated you." Wakisaka Anji is someone who opposes sending troops in a hurry. Now that he has lost the battle, he is naturally very proud. Look.

Xiang Takenaka Shigeharu's eyes were also very contemptuous, as if he was saying that if you don't listen to me, you will suffer sometimes.

"The enemy's iron cannons are powerful, and their firecrackers are also very powerful. Those cavalry move like the wind, far more powerful than the Liaodong iron cavalry we encountered in Korea. We once organized a counterattack, but we were all defeated by their cavalry.

They broke up. Later, the Maori family's cavalry also joined in, making counterattack even more impossible." After the defeat, Takenaka Shigeharu was a little unable to hold his head up.

"That means the enemy army is very powerful. How many people are there? I heard that there are not many of them." Anji Wakisaka began to chase and fight.

"Their number should be less than 2,000." Takenaka Shigeharu answered honestly, looking like a frustrated little daughter-in-law.

Tokugawa Ieyasu blinked and swallowed back the words in his throat.

Takenaka Shigeharu is known as the wisest general in Japan, so there must be something wrong with him being so honest. Others dare not say it, and talking about being naughty. The eight Wakisaka Anji is no match for Takenaka Shigeharu.

"Oh, you mean your army of 20,000 was defeated by a mere 2,000 people?" Anji Wakisaka smiled evilly. There were not many opportunities to ridicule Takenaka Shigeharu. Now that I have this opportunity, I can see my old opponent being defeated.

, Wakisaka Anji felt very comfortable.

"That's right!" Takenaka Shigeharu replied honestly.

"I didn't expect Kato-kun and you, Takenaka-kun, to be able to win such a defeat. It's really eye-opening!"

"This is indeed our incompetence. Your talents, Wakisaka-kun, are far greater than ours. I will leave it to you to avenge Kato-kun this time!" After Takenaka Shigeharu finished speaking, he bowed his head deeply in front of Wakisaka Anji.

"Uh...!" Wakisaka Anji immediately blushed.

Frankly speaking, Kato Kiyomasa is not an incompetent person. With such a virtuous character, what benefits can he get for himself? But he just made fun of others, and now he is praised like this. Even if he threatens Anji Saka, he wants to step down.

There is no suitable ladder either.

"Wakita-kun, your men have sharp artillery, and they are all capable of fighting. I'll ask you to avenge Kato-kun!" Kato Yoshiaki also started to add insult to injury. He had long disliked Wakisaka Anji running against his old friend Takenaka Shigeharu. Now,

Seeing that Yasu Wakisaka was not in charge, he naturally wanted to help out.

"Uh...!" Anji Wakisaka had a bad feeling.

"Please ask Wakiita-kun to fight." Another daimyo stood up.

"Yes! Only Wakiita-kun can fight against the Ming army."

"Wakiita-kun! Please!"

"Wakiita-kun, don't shirk it!"

"Wakiita-kun! You can do it, you can do it!"

"...!"

Sure enough, all the Ming Dynasties seemed to have made an appointment. They all proposed that Anji Wakisaka should continue to fight!

Wakisaka Anji now wants to slap both of his mouths for making you talk nonsense. It feels good for you, but your body and mind will be severely damaged.

Takenaka Shigeharu glanced at Wakisaka Anji, how could he run against him without paying the price? He knew these big names too well, and all of them came to Mouri's house to get a vote. In fact, no one really wanted to fight to the death, just watch what they brought.

Which warriors will know.

All the daimyo left their well-known samurai at home one after another. Most of them they brought with them were the old, weak, sick and disabled. It was purely to deal with Tokugawa Ieyasu's recruitment!

In this case, if you let them go to fight, they would be worse than Kato Kiyomasa on the battlefield. Only the people brought by Wakisaka Anji seem to be able to fight. Tokugawa Ieyasu didn't say anything, but he was actually conniving himself to crowd out Wakisaka Anji and go to the battle.

.

"Since...! Since everyone has said so, General, I am willing to fight!" For this reason, Wakisaka Anji had to rush to the fight and asked Tokugawa Ieyasu for a fight.

"Wakita-kun, you must be careful not to follow Kato-kun's old path. I will increase your troops tomorrow, and I will personally fight for you. I will never let Kato-kun's tragedy happen to you again." Tokugawa Ieyasu

Smiling and encouraging Wakisaka Anji.

Wakisaka Anji feels miserable! This damn thing is not holding the formation, it is clearly supervising it. Takenaka Shigeharu can still run back. It seems that if he doesn't do it well tomorrow, he won't be able to run back. Even if he does run back, it will be very difficult.

He might also be forced to commit suicide by Tokugawa Ieyasu.

"Tomorrow, ten Franco cannons will also be given to you to command. For tomorrow's battle, please leave it to Wakita-kun." Seeing Wakisaka Anji's expression was not good, Tokugawa Ieyasu followed.

After Wakisaka Anji heard this, he felt a little more at ease. After all, there were ten Franco machine guns to control the situation. No matter how powerful the enemy's artillery fire was, he had the strength to fight back. He didn't believe it, but he couldn't defeat a mere two thousand Ming army.

Tokugawa Ieyasu's camp was gloomy and gloomy, but Li Xiao's camp was indeed full of joy. Countless bonfires were lit outside Hagi Castle. Mori Terumoto personally brought Maori Hidemoto and Mori Hidetada with gifts to reward Li Xiao.

army.

Terumoto Mori never imagined that a team of only 2,000 people could easily defeat an army of 20,000 led by Kato Kiyomasa. And he suffered almost no losses, which was shocking.

Li Xiao's losses were indeed very limited. Except for seven of Man Gui's men who were killed and more than twenty injured, there were no casualties at all!

In fact, Li Xiao himself did not expect that by accurately seizing the opportunity, he would gain such a big harvest. In the desperate pursuit along the way, at least 10,000 Japanese soldiers were hacked to death. The saber is indeed the era of cold weapons.

The most efficient killing weapon.

Although Mouri Terumoto showed the utmost sincerity, he really didn't have anything good in his hands.

The Japanese people's diet is relatively light, which generally does not meet the taste of Pi Island soldiers. Maori Huiyuan sent a large amount of fish and various seafood. He also sent a lot of rice dumplings.

It can be seen that the Mori family is really in poverty. Many samurai swallow their saliva when they look at the rice dumplings. The samurai are so virtuous. You can imagine what the farmers in Nagato and Shubo are like.

When thousands of singers poured into the military camp, the scene suddenly became lively. Although Li Xiao recruited all honest people, honest people are also men. The women of the Japanese country were quite proactive, and if nothing happened to them, nothing would happen.

It doesn't make sense.

Maori Huiyuan was so excited that he came out to dance in person. Li Xiao was so stunned that he had to clap his hands and cheer. Damn, an old man in his sixties is so good. Look next to him, Man Gui has already been fucked by two people.

A Japanese girl was pushed to the ground and rubbed against her. Her screams were beyond the reach of Teacher Aoi.

Li Xiao didn't stop him. After a big battle, he let the soldiers vent. People's personalities will become distorted if they hold it in for a long time. Li Xiao didn't want his men to become mentally ill. They followed him to fight to make money. He did something by the way.

The joy of life can also be regarded as a kind of welfare.

"Mr. Li! Thank you for helping our Maori family at the most critical moment. I promise you on behalf of my father and the entire Yamaguchi Domain. As long as there is only one person alive in the Yamaguchi Domain, he will also be Mr. Li's staunch ally. We

My friend is not Daming, but you, Mr. Li." Maori Xiuzhong took Li Xiao's hand, his nose burst into tears, and he spoke very sincerely.

"Mr. Li, Xiuyuan is your forever friend." Maori Xiuyuan took Li Xiao's other hand.

Li Xiao still can't figure out the relationship between these two guys!

Hidemoto Mouri is the adopted son of Terumoto Mouri, and this relationship seems to be called a godson in China. Hidetada Mouri is his biological son, and he will definitely be the next generation lord of the Yamaguchi Domain.

If this matter happened in China, there would definitely be a fight. No one wants to be the boss and have a god-brother who has a lot of power pointing fingers.

But it turned out that Mouri Hidetada completely believed in Mouri Hidemoto. And Mouri Hidemoto seemed to believe that the position of feudal lord did not belong to him. Not only that, the two of them were closely united. It was enough to share the responsibility and cut the blame together.

I mean bro.

"What did the two Maori gentlemen say? Since the alliance has been concluded, I, Li Xiao, must keep my word! Although I dare not say that I will help you defeat the Edo shogunate, I will definitely help you get back the lost fiefdom. Because you belong to me, Li Xiao.

friend!"

Looking at the sincere Li Xiao, Ai Husheng struggled to translate his words. If it weren't for the Japanese market, would you be sincere to the Maori family? Of course, Jiugui Jialong snatched away the 30,000 taels of gold, which was another reason why Li Xiao became sincere.

reason.

After long-term contact, the clever Ai Husheng has almost become a roundworm in Li Xiao's stomach. He knows that the big boss actually hates the Japanese people in his heart, which can be seen from the tone of his words to the Japanese people.

It seemed that Li Xiao had hatred for everyone in the Japanese country. He had no doubt that if given the chance, Li Xiao would go on a killing spree in the Japanese country.

This can be seen from Li Xiao's attitude towards the Japanese people. As long as a Japanese woman is over sixty years old, she will be driven out of her home and driven into the mountains to fend for herself. When she is driven out of her home, people with better conditions will

Give a rice ball. People with poor conditions will also give a wild vegetable dumpling.

Li Xiao and Ai Husheng once saw an old lady from the Japanese country burst into tears. She put a wild vegetable dumpling into the hands of the youngest child in the family, and then resolutely walked into the mountains. As soon as she reached the edge of the forest, she was

A group of wolves fell down on the grass. Their heart-rending screams were heartbreaking to hear.

If this were in the Ming Dynasty, Li Xiao would definitely have stopped the old woman and left them some money or food before leaving with tears in her eyes.

But in the Japanese country, Li Xiao saw such a sad scene. He even felt a little gloating about his misfortune!
