The shooting ports on the Anzai ship are all placed on both sides of the front half of the hull and the bow. The stern is not only unprotected, but also has no shooting ports. This has evolved into a unilateral passive attack by Noguchi Fuyunaga, and the Anzai ship's
The main cabin is placed on the top of the ship and exposed to the open air.
Samurai have this advantage. Once engaged in a battle, no matter how dangerous it is, they will definitely stand at the front. At this time, the commanders of the three ships behind them will stand on the top of the ship with their samurai swords and direct the sailors to counterattack. Such a good sniper opportunity is basically
No need to remind, the Kira family samurai will not miss it either. Naito Masashige and Takikawa Masushige use their powerful attack power to snipe one by one.
In the last battle of Fukakusa, Takikawa Masushige had no time to show off his iron artillery skills because he was responsible for supporting the Kira navy to cut off the retreat of the Mikawa and Ikumi tribes. This time, he worked hard to show off in order to get the credit.
One day, he aimed at a samurai wearing gorgeous armor on an Anzhai ship and shot him directly. The opponent didn't even react and was shot in the face. The whole helmet was shattered and the man would definitely not survive.
Naito Masashige was faster on the other side. He took aim at the senior samurai on the Anzha ship that turned the bow, raised his hand and shot the samurai in the throat with an arrow. Next to the samurai was another fully armored man.
The senior warrior immediately retreated alertly, but before he could take a few steps, another arrow pierced his chest and stabbed him in the heart.
With a distance of only twenty rooms, it was not difficult for Naito Masashige to penetrate the armor's defense with his bow skills and physical strength. He was not using the old square bamboo bow before, but the new square bamboo bow specially made by the Ogasawara family. This
It is a synthetic bow made of four pieces of bamboo wrapped with a wooden core. It is also the bow with the greatest range and power in the Middle Ages, and its power is also considerable.
This kind of bow already has good armor-piercing ability, which is one level better than the relatively mediocre heavy rattan bow, especially the one carefully made by the Ogasawara family in Kyoto. An ordinary square bamboo bow takes a year, and Naito Masashige's
This is the first square bamboo bow made by the current head of the Ogasawara family, Ogasawara Tanemori. This bow is naturally much stronger than the ordinary square bamboo bow. It is also a gift given by the Ogasawara family in Kyoto to form a good relationship.
.
The commanders of the two Anzha ships were all killed, which made the Awaji sailors immediately lose their composure. They fell into chaos without orders. Some ungrateful sailors ran out of the cabin and shot at the Kira fleet behind Yumigo. These
The samurai who dared to show their heads all became targets for Kira samurai to practice their archery skills. Every samurai who showed his head had to face several arrows at the same time, and soon fell into the river to feed the fish.
Several waves of bows and arrows suppressed them, as well as iron cannons bombarding the decks and causing pockmarks, which put a lot of pressure on the Awaji Marines. However, Noguchi Fuyuuchi was so anxious that he could do nothing except yelling and cursing.
He couldn't think of any way to do it. Even the Noguchi Chosect of his sect had died fighting to give him a chance to escape. He didn't even think of escaping until now. He was really seeking death.
At this time, the Yodogawa people had climbed onto the stern of the Anzha ship. The Kira navy weakened the attack in a tacit understanding. The result of the victory could already be announced as soon as the boarding battle started. The Awaji navy had already lost the battle after suffering successive attacks.
The fighting spirit soon surrendered, and the battle only lasted a quarter of an hour and ended.
Noguchi Fuyunaga finally came to his senses and issued a breakout order, but unfortunately it was too late. General Anzai, who was surrounded in public, had no choice but to resist and was killed. The one who chopped off his head was Yodogawa Heisuke.
The next step was to clean up the battlefield and clean up the wreckage. The two blown-up Anzha ships were left there and there was no time to deal with them. The iron artillery team and the archery team immediately boarded the two stranded Anzha ships and got ready. When the Seki ship chased the bait an hour later When the team returned, they were dumbfounded when they saw three Anzha boats blocking the river. When they got closer, they discovered that the damaged decks and many traces of battles on the Anzha boats had not been eliminated, which made them immediately alert.
But it was too late to realize that at this time, the Mikawa clan of Kiragi appeared in Tobahara on the west coast of Kamogawa and Fushimihara on the east coast respectively. In order to prevent these guys from abandoning the ship and fleeing to Kyoto to cause trouble, Mikawa Ryobi quickly blocked their escape. Entering the passages on both sides of the Kamogawa River, the iron cannons and arrows from the Anzha boats were poured wildly on these boats. The Mikawa people on both sides of the river also shot at the boats in the center of the Kamogawa River from a distance of more than ten rooms. The thunder shook and the sound of killing shook the sky. It didn't take long for these people to surrender.
The only fly in the ointment was that there were still a few boats that quickly turned around and fled upstream on the Kamogawa River. For these unwilling people, Yoshitoki Kira also used this moment to make adequate arrangements. At the six sources of the river in Kyoto on the upper reaches of the Kamogawa River, Kato Kyouaki The grenadier team had already detoured here to intercept, and these ships, which were based on luck, soon sank to the bottom of the river in the roaring flames.
"Victory!" When Kato Kyouaki heard that the last Kansai ship sank into the water amid flames and explosions, everyone present jumped up. This exhausting water battle finally ended in victory.
But it is a pity that Yodogawa Sanemon, who was used as a bait, died. He and his men all became the heads tied up on several ships. After the war, he led the Yodogawa people to Fushimi Inari Shrine to pay tribute to those who died in the battle. A funeral was held for these dozens of warriors. Yodogawa Heisuke, who had made great contributions in this battle, knelt in front of his father's body and cried bitterly.
Kira Yoshishi said with a heavy face: "We defeated the Miyoshi family again! This time we completely broke the myth that the Miyoshi family is invincible by land and water! The warriors who died for this battle will surely be reborn in the Paradise after death. The dead have passed away and the living have passed away. Don’t forget the victory these warriors earned with their lives! We must always remember how hard-won every victory is.”
"Ha! We must bear in mind the teachings of the master!" Yodogawa Heisuke led a group of Yodogawa people to kneel down and bow to the ground. This was the first time for the Yodogawa people to pay homage to Kiragi with the retainer ceremony, and it also meant that the Yodogawa people would completely surrender in the future. Under the banner of the Kira family.
After the funeral, Kira Yoshitoki offered rewards to those who had meritorious service. Except for the ships, all the captured materials were divided into equal parts and distributed to everyone who participated in the war. He was already familiar with calculating the profits and calculating the beheading of the capital. With Kira, he The Yodogawa family, who had cooperated with the family once, also knew the style of the Kira family very well. The recovery of corpses and battlefield debris, as well as the sunken ships that could not block the rivers, were all funded by Yoshitoki Kira, and the funds were taken away from the total profit calculated from this battle.
Naturally, the first achievement was Yodogawa Heisuke who killed Noguchi Fuyunaga. After his father died, he automatically inherited his father's name and changed his name to Yodogawa Sanemon. Kira Yoshitoki gave him the name Mitsunaga, and he changed his name accordingly. Yodogawa Mitsunaga personally accepted him as a retainer, selected 200 people from the Yodogawa navy and incorporated them into the Kira navy, and appointed him as the captain of the navy, starting from the grassroots level.
The second skill was given to Takikawa Masushige. He and Naito Masashige also sniped and killed a commander of Anzhaifune. However, he not only completed a beautiful sniper kill, but also showed his skills in the subsequent sniper killing several Awaji Marines.
Senior samurai, including Noguchi Nagasune, and Naito Masashige, as Arch-General, had no intention of quarreling with the iron artillery team, and just tried their respective skills to clean up the escaped fish.
