Chapter 662 Introducing the King into the urn (seeking a monthly ticket)
In the 18th year of Astronomy (1549), early April, night.
On the shore of Hakata Bay on a spring night, the sea breeze with a little salty smell blows.
At this time, in the rocks on a coast near Hakata Bay, Masara, accompanied by Yoshida Shigemasa and others, led a cloak of 100 people, a samurai team of 400 people, a 200 people standing footsteps and a 50-man Black Hawk, quietly hiding.
The cracks of these rocks are covered with weeds. In addition, there is a kind of flower named Risanhua by the locals. This kind of flower is almost everywhere in the countryside of Hakata. It is said that the other side has the meaning of spring in the understanding of local people. Therefore, the Risanhua is also called the flower of spring, so the blooming of the other side indicates that spring is coming.
But in Zhengliang's opinion, spring represents the graceful tone of sunshine, while the color of the other side of the flower is a bit like the color of blood, which is really a bit gloomy and cold.
The night was not very clear tonight. Through the cracks of the rocks, Masayoshi only saw the sound of waves slapping on the rocks on the shore from time to time, but he couldn't see clearly the dark sea surface. It was really hard to say that he could only hear the sound and not see the shape.
"Lord, look, there is here." At this time, Yoshida Shigemasaki beside him said.
Following the direction pointed by Yoshida Shigemasa, Masara turned his head and looked. He saw that in the night, a few stars suddenly appeared on the dark sea. As time went by, there were more and more stars on the sea. In fact, this was not a star, but a torch on the sea boat. Because the distance was relatively far, it gave people a bit like a star.
"It's true. Today I'm going to let you wait for a long time." Seeing these ships that suddenly visited in the first half of the night, Masayoshi in the dark sneered.
Qing Jinglongzhu, who dressed as a wandering monk in the city, thought he had successfully entered the territory of the Luo family in the Chuqian Kingdom. It did not attract the attention of the Luo family. The fact is the opposite. Because the Luo family implemented a system of licensing for all monks entering their territory, and this period was a sensitive period. As a monk who suddenly entered the Luo family, it naturally attracted the attention of the Luo family's intelligence club. Therefore, since Qing Jinglongzhu entered the Chuqian Hakata area, he was secretly followed by the Luo family's detective fan.
But Qing Jinglongzhu is also a very smart person. During the period when he just entered, he had been staying in the temple, dressed up as a monk who really returned to the temple to practice as a monk. However, he could not have imagined that because the Luo family's detective fan and the Black Hawk had received Zhengliang's investigation skills training. It was mentioned specifically that during the sensitive period, the more normal the suspected object's performance was actually showing that this person was very abnormal. So even more than a month later, the Black Hawk of the Luo family still followed him. Finally, when he thought he could act, his feet were finally exposed.
The Luo family then bought a monk in the temple who was responsible for cleaning the temple with a large sum of money, and asked him to secretly monitor the temple Qing Jinglongzhu's actions in the temple. Qing Jinglongzhu's secret actions outside the temple were also secretly monitored by the Black Hawk. As a result, many forces that were encouraged and won over by him were exposed, allowing the Luo family to prepare in advance.
Tonight, the other party planned to let the Zonan family's naval army attack Hakata, which was full of reconstruction materials. Then, with the fire of Hakata, the various places quickly launched troops to echo the army stationed in the border area, so that the Danai family and the Zonan family, who had already been prepared in the Zonan family's territory, attacked the Chinese army.
Although Yoshitaka Ouchi did not intend to have a conflict with the Luo family at this time, he still couldn't help it in the current situation of interests. What's more, even if it fails, he directly said that this was the sole action of the Son Soul family. Of course, it would be impossible for the Luo family to find trouble for the Son Soul family at that time. He would definitely send troops to help the Son Soul family.
Just when the boats appeared on the Hakata Bay picture, several torches were lit at the Shiga Island at the mouth of the Hakata Bay.
"Hmph!" Seeing this situation, Zhengliang knew that these people who lit the torch were naturally responsible for the detailed work of the invading naval army tonight. Zhengliang wanted to tear them apart at this time. If it weren't for several mistakes within the other party, and this period happened to be when the Intelligence Pavilion was paying close attention to the previous day, I'm afraid he would really be hit this time.
"Sir, it's the people on our side. The number of torches means that the harbor is safe at this time." Shortly after the torches on Shiga Island were lit, a samurai was slowly heading to the invading ship near the entrance of the Hakata Bay Port. A samurai said to a man wearing armor beside him. The person wearing armor was the general of the Son Soul Family Navy this time.
"Well, is it really safe?" Kane Shishi Kane again confirmed while looking at the dark estuary of Hakata Bay. It was not that Kane Shishi Kane was too cautious, but because the geographical environment of Hakata Bay was really unfavorable to sneak attacks. Hakata Port is full of land on all sides, and only the direction of the estuary is connected to the sea. Once a navy blocks the estuary, the ships inside will become turtles in a jar.
"Sir, according to the agreement, as long as three torches are lit at the port, it means that there are not many guards at the port at this time, and there are not many ships of the Luo family's naval army. Now the agreed contact location at the port has indeed lit three torches." The warrior said again.
"Okay, order to enter Hakata Port quickly." After repeated confirmation, Kazuka finally ordered. The visibility on the sea surface was extremely low at this time. Unless you lit the torch on your own initiative, you would not be able to see a situation a hundred meters away. Now that you have come here, the detailed work of our family lurking in Hakata Bay conveys a message of safety, he had to grit his teeth and believe it.
With the order of the sage, the navy of the Zongxiang family began to touch the Hakata Bay.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" When the fleet entered the entrance of Hakata Bay, the fleet was wearing torches, it was soon discovered by the guards at the port of Hakata Bay. So in the dark night, several warning sounds suddenly came to mind.
"Quick, order the ships to crash into the port faster." The Lishi, who was originally worried about the fraud, immediately ordered. If the port was still silent at this time, then the Lishi would definitely order the return immediately. But now someone has warned the port, and he is relieved. So he must have the fleet to land before the port guards reacted. This time he brought almost two-thirds of the Zongxiang family's naval army, as well as the Da Neijia and Zongxiang family's joint army, and according to previous information, the Luo family's naval army stationed in Hakata Port at this time, and there were less than twenty ships and less than one hundred guards. As long as the navy army of our family can dock, then the Bodo almost went down in one fell swoop.
Suddenly, in the night, a chaotic scream of guards came from the Hakata Port, and at the estuary of the Hakata Bay in the distance, nearly two hundred sectarian ships rushed into the port like fire dragons running on the sea (because the soldiers on the ship held torches, they looked like fire dragons from afar).
"Bang, bang, bang..."
With the continuous sound of ships hitting the land at the port shore, the fleet finally landed.
"Run, the enemy is going to the shore." In the dark night, the guards who were originally shooting with bows and arrows at the port yelled. Then the guards in the port began to fight and retreat.
"Kill!" Ling Junjian, who had just jumped out of the ship, shouted loudly and immediately commanded his soldiers to quickly kill the port. They must speed up the time to occupy Hakata and burn the materials they could not take away. Then defend on the spot, completely disconnecting the connection between the Luo family and the Tachiha family and the former Sugi family territory, so that the Tachiha family could cooperate with the Danai army that quickly entered from the direction of Zongsun County to take down these areas again.
The situation at the harbor seemed to be just as he had expected before. Due to the small number of people, the guards of the Luo family at the port retreated to the depths of the camp where the materials were stored without much resistance, and even abandoned the ships at the harbor. At this time, Ling Shijian did not pay much attention to some ships that were no longer inhabited. After leaving some people to guard their own ships, he led the people directly into the Luo family's material storage camp in Hakata.
"Bang!"
Just as the Ling family and his men had already entered the depths of the camp, they had seen the Luo family defenders gathering in the distance, suddenly a string of sparks rose from the Luo family defenders, and then a "bang" sounded, emitting stars-like sparks in the sky.
"Not good!" After seeing the abnormal behavior of the Luo family, Ling Family, who had always been extremely cautious, he immediately thought to himself that something was wrong.
"boom!"
Before Ling's family could call on the soldiers under his command to be careful, the supplies around them suddenly started to burn with a "boom".
"Ah! Fire!" Some of the Zong Xiang family naval forces and the soldiers of the Danei family who were not responding were immediately ignited by the fire and shouted in horror. While shouting, they ran wildly, trying to extinguish the flames on their bodies.
"Boom!"
The entire camp seemed to be ignited in an instant. Under the hot fire, several explosions even came, and dozens of soldiers were directly blown away.
"The camp caught fire, and the explosives also worked. I guess the navy has started to move here, so let's go." Looking at the fire in Hakata Port, Masara said to Yoshida Shigemasa beside him.
After learning that the Ouchi family would send someone to attack Hakata Port recently, Masara had taken advantage of the past few days to secretly transport a large amount of tincture oil, flammable materials, and even some explosives into it under the guise of transporting rebuilding Hakata supplies.
In order to avoid causing hostile vigilance that monitors the movements and situations of Hakata Port, Masayoshi did not increase the defenders of Hakata Port, but secretly ordered the guards in the camp to bury useful materials in order to avoid damage in future wars. At the same time, the flammable materials, tincture oil, explosives and other materials were replaced with the original locations where the reconstructed materials were stored. When the enemy was introduced into the depths of the camp, these Luo Family defenders who had been prepared had ignited the signal agreed upon with the other Luo Family armies in advance (i.e., ignite fireworks from the Ming Dynasty).
In this way, the fire in the camp will only harm the enemy, and the Luo family army from other groups will also start attacking after seeing the signals in the sky.
Some people may ask, does it seem that the forces that the Damen invaded before the construction of the country also called the fire on Hakata Port and then launched a attack together?
Masayoshi wants this effect now. Since the other party also burns Hakata, let Hakata burn, and this fire must be burned by the Luo family itself (poor Hakata, after being burned by Naito Xingsheng in October last year, it was burned by the fire again before it started to rebuild). Thus, through this fire, all the monsters and gods were attracted and led them into the large urn prepared for them by the Luo family.
With Masayoro's order, the people who were ambushing in the rocks began to light torches, and then quickly headed to the shore of Hakata Port, and launched an attack directly at the Sozo family naval army there to stop the defeated soldiers who escaped from the fire camp, and at the same time robbed enemy ships docked on the coast.
