The sea surface in the northwest of Hakata Bay is light wind and foggy.
In the early morning, the sun had not yet come out, and the gray sea was covered with white mist, like clouds floating on the sea.A Japanese warship was sailing and slowly moving on the water.
At this moment, a clanging sound came from the bow of the ship. A sailor holding a black bowl turned the rice bowl to the ground, staring at the front in a daze.
Several people were attracted by the attention and turned to watch.
In the fog, two huge black shadows as big as cities slowly drove out, like strange monsters coming from the fog.
After a moment, more shadows revealed the fog.
People who saw this scene were stunned for a while.
Finally, a hissing sound came from the boat: I'll touch the chicken!Then the sound of gongs also sounded, and there was a hustle and bustle on the entire boat. The leader on the boat waved his fans and kept ordering, asking everyone to go and fuck the oars immediately.
The wooden boat quickly began to turn around, and most young and strong grabbed the oars to make the boat move faster.
When the boat turned around and drove back, the leader on the boat looked back and his face changed drastically.
The countless ships spread out on the sea were almost invisible to the edge, and the large scattered sails seemed to cover the entire sea surface there.
Although there have been various rumors recently that the Ming Kou will launch a large-scale attack on Japan, people are still very shocked when they suddenly see the Ming army's fleet with their own eyes.
The scenes of the Yuan army more than a hundred years ago have passed away. No Japanese have ever seen such a magnificent and terrifying navy at this time.
Two balls of fire suddenly lit up in the misty fog behind. When people heard the two thunderous sounds of cannons, white waves were already stirred up by shells on the sea not far away.
At such a long distance, Mingko's shells were so fast that they arrived almost at the same time as the sound.
Not long after, the Ming army had two medium-sized ships on each wing, leaving the huge formation and chasing them at a faster speed.
The Japanese crew members did not need to shout from the leader, and they all rowed desperately.
The sound of people gasping for breathing around, and everyone who swung the oars worked very hard.
However, the Ming army's warships and distances were still gradually shrinking.
Behind you, you can already hear the water wheels on the Ming army's ships, the rustling sounds when stirring the water surface, and even the noise of the squeezing and friction between the gears and the wood can be heard faintly.
The hulls of those ships were slender so that they could fit several water wheels on both sides to quickly chase them; when the wind was low, ordinary wooden ships could not escape.
Dead.A Japanese sailor.
Unexpectedly, the sound of the rotation of the water wheels suddenly became smaller.Some Japanese were wondering, and only then did they find that there were two Japanese ships in the distance on the sea in the south, and they were also turning around to prepare to escape.
Seeing this, the leader breathed a sigh of relief, pointed to the friend ship in the distance and said: Ming Kou just doesn't want us to go back to report the news, but there is no need now.
People were still scared and continued to paddle hard and stay away from the Ming fleet.
To the east of this place is Kumakura Island, and to the south is Imasukura Village in Hakata.
More than a hundred years ago, the Japanese army fought against the Yuan Dynasty, near Imatsu Village in the northwest; the Japanese army had deployed troops and wardrobes near the Yuangang defense, but no one knew why the people there did not find such a huge Minggang fleet passing by.
The Japanese ship decided to continue traveling south so that after reaching the coast of Hakata Bay as soon as possible, he would report to the military generals on the land.
...The Japanese army has already made defensive arrangements near Hakata Bay.
Due to the long-term signs of the Ming army's activities on Ichiki Island and Tsushima Island, Muromachitan judged that the Ming army would attack from the Chikamashima country, and the judgment was obviously not wrong.The Ming army had no intention of concealing the direction of the attack.
Such an offensive position seems to be exactly the same as the Yuan army more than a hundred years ago.
However, the Yuan army's navy did not go deep into Hakata Bay, but landed in Shima County, at the northwest end of the Chima Country; the Ming army chose another main attack direction and entered the depth of Hakata Bay. Their target coast was mostly between Itu County and Saera County (Western District of Fukuoka).
At this time, the Japanese troops near the Yuankou defense base in Shima County were already ready.In the Hakata Port area, tens of thousands of reinforcements are gradually reaching the battlefield.
There are two main reinforcements from the Japanese army, and the main force has entered the country of Chuqian.
The commander of the North Road was the leader of Muromachi Temple and Yoshige of Yoshihiro, who was the main commander of the coalition forces of Honshu Island and Kanto Kamakura Kan.
The commander of the South Road was another leader, Hosokawa Manmoto. In addition to the headquarters of the Namba Kyo (Osaka), he also had the coalition forces in Shikoku Island and Kyushu Exploration Areas.
On the mountain road north of Kasugaya County, a large number of people passed through a archway-like torii. The undulating road was filled with smoke and the crowd was like a dragon.
The warriors wearing helmets like cow's heads and the steep bamboo hats gathered together to march in front and behind the colorful flags.As the military flag flies, the spear is like a dense forest with leaves falling out.
Ouchi Morimi led a team of cavalry to welcome the foot of the mountain.After a while, a small group of people riding horses and slapped their horses in the army came towards us.
The person who came was Guan Ling, who was over thirty years old.
This man's uncle, Spoyi, was very powerful, and his strategy and force were very experienced, but he had passed away. Now, the new governor of the Spo's family, Morikazu Ouchi didn't know much about it.
There is also an acquaintance around Spori Yoshihiro, who is Yamaname Toshihi.
A surprised expression immediately appeared on Ouchi Morimi's face.
The leaders of Yamai and Muromachi Temple are hard to resolve.
At that time, Yamai clan owned the eleven countries and had a strong power of one-sixth Hall, which was comparable to the powerful power of the Ouchi clan.
It was because of Muromachi Temple's provocation and rebellion that Yamachi's only three kingdoms are left, which is even weaker than the Ouchi clan.
Seeing that Ouchi Mori didn't say anything, he saw that Sibo Yoshige was approaching, so he bowed and bowed.
A servant knelt beside him, and Spoyichong stepped on the man's back and got off the horse.Then both Spori Yoshige and Yamai bowed to Ouchi Morijima.
Sibo Yoshihiro seemed to see Ouchi Moriji's surprise and said: When the Ming invasion is invading, we must fight against the enemy with one mind.
Ouchi Morimiya also had resentment towards Muromachi Temple. Like Yamana and others, they had suffered great suppression and weakening.
However, because the territory of the Orchid family is now facing a catastrophe, after Ochidaka met Kamira and met the general Ashikaga Yoshiji last time, he had already let go of his resentment.
Hearing Spo Yoshihiro's words, Ouchi Mori was immediately excited and said seriously: The deep affection for the rivers and mountains and the responsibility of protecting the country and the country, let us give up our past grudges.
After hearing this, Spoyi Chong immediately bowed to Ouchi Moriji.Seeing that Ouchi Mori hurriedly bent down.Sibo Yishi's eyes were bright and he raised his head to the southwest: Go to the camp of Kaya County.
Several people got back on their horses and continued to move forward with the mighty team.
The army reached the flat area of Yaya County, and the population gradually increased.
I met some common people along the way, and those common people were kneeling on the side of the road. People looked at them with fear and alertness. After all, warriors were really not easy to mess with.
Before he could set up a camp, Ouchi Mori urgently told Spoyi to tell him some of the military situations in the past two days.It is roughly because Ming Kou has arrived at the coast of Yitu County.Yitu County is located in the south of Shimo County.
I have sent a messenger to order the defenders of Shimo County to retreat south.Danue Sheng saw the truth.
Spoyishige said: The mountains in the south and the coast in the east have been occupied by the Ming gangs, so can the Shima army be unable to participate in the war?
Ouchi Morimiya explained: The Ming gang landed in Yitu County in the southeast, and Shima's defenders would not retreat, otherwise they would be besieged there and become an isolated army and besieged and destroyed first.
What's more, there is a valley on the southern foot of Bofu Mountain, and they can take that road back to Yuwu County; but if they stay on the southern foot of Bofu Mountain, they can be responsible for defending the Ming Kou and going eastward along the path.
Spoy focused his attention and stopped talking.
Ouchi Morimi said again: General Hosokawa arrives in Hakata, maybe two or three days later.I still have some arrangements, and now I will report to the Spoils manager first; when General Hosokawa arrives, I will talk about it again.
When I learned that Ming Kou had landed in Yitu County, I had sent heavy troops to the northeast of Bofu Mountain, Xiashanmen and other places to build defenses and build defense fortifications.
In this way, the garrison of Shimo County guarded the narrow valley on the southern foot of Bofu Mountain.Our army can defend with fortifications from the north of Bofu Mountain to the coastal mountains and occupy the advantage of the territory.
But at the same time, our army should monitor the Ming Dynasty's fleet day and night and whether it crosses east of Xionggu Island.Once the Ming Kou lands again from the sea, he will detour the coast of Yaya County and threaten our army from both sides. Our army should immediately retreat eastward, march towards the Dazaifu, and rebuild the defense line by relying on the terrain at the Dazaifu entrance.
Spoychi said coldly: Your strategy is too decadent, and you are determined to be beaten by your back, so you can only be considered a one-man statement.
Danui Moriji persuaded: Although our army's military strength is three or four times that of the Ming gang, there is still no chance of winning the decisive battle in an open area. The manager must be cautious.
Spoyishige said: How about counterattack in the night battle?
Da Nei Sheng saw: The Ming Dynasty had a lot of troops. Even if our army successfully attacked, it would not hurt its muscles and bones. Instead, it would easily lose control due to small things and lose control in the overall situation.I suggest that the Hosokawa Administration will make a decision before he can get it.
Spoyi snorted heavily, not saying anything.
Ouchi Morimi said again: Night attacks may be used on water.On the coast of the sea route east of Xiaguan Strait, our army should hide ships at the mouth of the river, fill them with turbulent oil and diesel, ready to attack the naval warships that the Ming gang advanced eastward at any time.
Spoyishi thought for a while and said: Ming Kou has landed in Hakata Bay. What are they going to go down to Kanto?
Da Nei Sheng saw him and said: Cut off the water grain road of our army.
Spoyi frowned and pondered, as if he felt something was right, so he nodded slightly.
Danui Shengji said again: If this battle is in an open space, our army will have no chance of winning.If you take advantage of the situation in Bofu Mountain, Dazaifu and other places, you will eventually get food and grass.Now, tens of thousands of troops have gathered in Hakata Bay, and the food in the country of Chuanqian, Fengqianqian and other places cannot be maintained for a long time.
He paused for a moment and immediately stepped up his tone and said again: Military rations are related to survival.
In the early morning, the sun had not yet come out, and the gray sea was covered with white mist, like clouds floating on the sea.A Japanese warship was sailing and slowly moving on the water.
