He looked back at the coastline behind him, his face turned ashen.
Lu Ping'an's newly established defense line looked shaky, but no matter how they attacked, it was broken but never fell.
The hills in Zhang Yang's hand didn't look high at all, and it seemed that he could reach the top of the mountain by just taking a few steps.
However, no matter how many more than 20,000 people in Mizuno attacked and fought wildly, and even the trenches halfway up the mountain were filled with corpses, the top of the mountain still continued to fire fireballs, stones and poisonous smoke rubber downwards...
well.
The brave man is disheartened.
"It's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too powerful..."
On the morning of the third day, the sun rose.
Countless huge warships suddenly appeared in the sea in front of them. Soon they filled the field of vision and were heading toward the Doi Fleet with great momentum.
Phew~
Dohi Yongto watched this scene, and his heart skipped a few beats.
"The barrier to the East China Sea has arrived, and our ships won't be able to withstand it for long. Let's go and ask when the land can break through that damn line of defense."
If it can't be penetrated, then prepare to annihilate the entire army.
The ordering soldiers looked at each other.
After a while, someone finally spoke, his voice full of bitterness.
"General, the responses from the generals on the shore have always been 'It's almost, it's almost, it's almost'."
Hold!
Doi Yongto was so angry that his hand bones were rattling, and he almost crushed the side of the ship in front of him.
He had been listening to such perfunctory replies for three days in a row, but every time it was still a little bit worse.
"Pass the order, we are now in a downwind position, and all fleets will go to sea to fight!"
Hold on as long as you can, and try to buy time for your brothers on the shore.
Of course, Yoshito Toichi did not say the last words, but everyone knew what he meant.

On a high point,
Zhang Yang, whose eyes were as red as a rabbit, put down the telescope with a smile on his face.
"The main force of the East China Sea Barrier has arrived. Immediately notify General Lu below."
Ha ha.
Lu Ping'an quickly got the news.
He threw away the curled machete in his hand and quickly rushed up to the watchtower.
"Brothers, I am Lu Pingan!" He shouted loudly, "Our main force has arrived."
"General Lu quickly led his troops to fight over from the sea. The Japanese pirates were immediately desperate."
"Everyone, kill them."
On the battlefield, weapons were clanging incessantly, and people were shouting and neighing. Sometimes two people next to each other might not even be able to hear what the other party was shouting.
However, Lu Ping'an howled like this, and the large front actually fell silent.
Soon, all the soldiers on the East China Sea Barrier were refreshed.
"Kill!"
They roared so loudly that even the wounded soldiers jumped up and rushed towards the enemy with murderous intent.
The Japanese pirate soldiers were already cold and hungry, so they were even more killed and retreated again and again, and were quickly defeated.

East China Sea, Sishan Islands.
The main island is Shangyang Island.
Ishikawa Taki rubbed his cold hands and walked outside.
He glanced at the sky to the west, "Is there any news from Dinghai Pier?"
"Back to the general," the guard squeaked, "The East China Sea Barrier is now located offshore of Huayang County, and it is really difficult for the brothers to get the news."
Ishikawa Taki understands.
He glanced to the west again and turned back to the house.
As for the life and death of Doi Yugito and other First Army soldiers, Ishikawa Taki had no involvement, but he could more or less predict the outcome.
"General, a fat and brave man made a mistake." A military advisor expressed his grief.
There are only a few garrison troops like Mo Canghai, and the central army is full of useless things.
If Doi Yongjin can attack Huayang County in one go, Yunchui will face a two-front or even three-front battle after the snow melts next year, and Nei Masato of Beihaiguan will be much easier to fight.
They will also be much safer here in Sishan Islands.
Ishikawa Taki didn't answer, silently staring at the map hanging on the wall.
The military advisor came over.
"General, although the East China Sea Barrier has now returned to the Unsuei Coast, they have been fighting in Baekje for so long, and there is definitely not much large and small crossbows, kerosene and stones on each ship."
"The general feels that after they clean up the mess at Dinghai Pier, they should return to the base camp of Pinghai County to rest for a while, and will not be in a hurry to attack the Sishan Islands at our feet."
"Not necessarily." Ishikawa Taki gently shook his head.
He glanced out the window.
Nowadays, the west wind or northwest wind is generally blowing throughout the East China Sea.
If the East China Sea Barrier comes from Huayang County or even Pinghai County, it will be in a favorable position.
Lu Fuhai might not let this go at the right time and place.
hey-hey.
A military advisor shook his mustache proudly.
"The general's concerns are understandable. But according to the spies' earlier reports, we killed so many ships on Lu Fuhai at Jinlong Beach. The princes in Star City have been arguing about this, and they may have doubts about it after they return.
He holds himself accountable.”
As a result, Lu Fuhai must be in dire straits. Even if he wants to go out to sea and attack the Sishan Islands, he may not be able to do so.
Ishikawa Taki nodded, "It's best this way."
The two sides have been at war for the past three or four years.
Facing the well-trained Donghai Barrier, whether the opponent was Xiao Zheng or Lu Fuhai, Ishikawa Taki did not feel that his fleet had a high chance of winning.
"But please go ahead and ask everyone on the island to grab it with both hands and use both hands hard."
We must not only be prepared for a sudden attack on the East China Sea Barrier, but we must also be prepared for the enemy to accumulate strength first and then attack again.
"yes!"
Before the military advisor finished speaking, there were two bangs on the door.
"General, another fleet has been sent from the mainland, with a total of one hundred and twenty battle camp-class ships and corresponding officers. Please accept it."
"That's great." The military advisors all immediately beamed with joy.
Since Dohi Yongren went west to attack Huayang County, and Nei Masato went north to sneak attack on Beiguan, although it cannot be said that the Sishan Islands have become completely empty, they have also lost most of their power.
This is also the main reason why Ishikawa Taki is worried that the East China Sea Barrier will come to attack soon.
Now the mainland finally sent ships and people over again.
Although there is no general level, the number is not large, and they are all ordinary people who have just picked up weapons. But no matter what, as long as the East China Sea Barrier comes over, they can always help or can be used as cannon fodder.
boom!
However, Ishikawa Taki punched the table in front of him hard, feeling regretful for a moment in his heart.
"Yugo Toichi, you have done a good job!"
Although many warships and personnel were sent west and north, the food and winter clothing here in the Sishan Islands were still insufficient.
If the brave warriors of Tufei can rush into Huayang County at once, they can at least grab some food, if not much.
This greatly alleviated the food problem on the island.
It's a pity that things went against our wishes...
"Come here, find all the Tufei tribesmen on the island, and let them go to the sea to fish or fish, regardless of men, women, old or young."
As soon as Ishikawa Taki said these words, needles could be heard in the Chinese army's tent.
Everyone looked at each other.
"General," a military advisor said with an unbearable expression, "It's such a cold world to fish in the sea? Besides, there is a fleet of the East China Sea Barrier at sea. This..."
What is the difference between this and letting them die?
Furthermore, even if a fat and brave man has no merit, he at least has hard work.
If word of this treatment of his clan members spread, what would the other soldiers fighting on the front lines and the remaining clan members of the Doi clan in the mainland think?
No matter what, they crowded out a whole fleet.
snort!
Ishikawa Taki glanced at the military advisor expressionlessly.
"I don't care what they think!"
"General Tokugawa just sent so many soldiers over. There are many people in the country who are waiting to board the ship and prepare to make contributions to the country. We don't have much time now. What we need are soldiers who will succeed if they don't succeed, not the kind of heroic men who succeed.
It’s not enough, but it’s enough to expose the enemy.”
"Understand?"
"Ming...understand." The military advisor shrank his neck and did not dare to speak again.
