Moji Castle and Akama on the other side lit up the sky with torches, reflecting the golden light in the narrow strait.
Snowflakes mixed with rain hit Kobayakawa Takakage's gorgeous armor. His face was already covered with a layer of white frost, but he didn't notice it at all. He only stared intently at the inside and outside of the strait.
The current in the Kanmon Strait is very strong, and the difficulty of building a pontoon bridge is much greater than expected. But he still built a pontoon bridge on the sea within three days using 300 plundered boats.
He originally planned to take a three-seater, but firstly there were not that many boats, and secondly, there was no time.
Fortunately, there are troops guarding both sides of the strait, so there is no need to worry about safety issues. It's just that the speed of crossing the sea is a little slower, but it is also several times faster than transporting it back and forth by boat.
Of course, his main purpose of building this pontoon was to free his navy from the ferry mission so that he could concentrate on dealing with the invading Ming Dynasty fleet!
In the past three days, Kobayakawa sent people to search for wooden ships everywhere and blocked the Kanmon Strait. I believe that the news had been detected by the ninjas of the Otomo family, and it should have reached the ears of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
"It's a pity that Kobayakawa waited for them for three days and saw no sign of the Ming Dynasty people, which made him feel a little anxious.
"Could it be that the Ming Dynasty people retreated when they saw the difficulty?" Ichikawa Kyouhao, the commander of the navy under his command, said: "There are 800 of our warships and more than 10,000 navy soldiers in the strait. It is normal that they dare not come in."
"If the people of the Ming Dynasty were so timid, we have nothing to regret." Kobayakawa reached out to catch the snowflakes and sneered: "Maybe they are planning to attack again when we cross the sea."
"But now that it's raining, they won't come even more." Ichikawa said.
¡°There¡¯s no way, I, Ani, am obviously super strong but extremely cautious,¡± Kobayakawa sighed: ¡°I have to wait until it rains before I leave.¡±
As he spoke, he sighed and said, "I hope it will clear up tomorrow morning."
After finishing speaking, I felt that this was too inappropriate, so I added: "Of course it will be great if it continues to rain. We can send the soldiers back safely and there will be many opportunities for decisive battles in the future."

In that compartment, even though Yoshikawa Motoharu made a series of arrangements very carefully, at dawn, he heard the rapid sound of horse hooves.
"Report, my lord, the friendly army is catching up!"
"Ah, so fast?" Yoshikawa Motoharu couldn't help being shocked. It seemed that when he left the camp, the Otomo family's intelligence network knew about it in advance!
He fully thought that he could wait until daybreak before revealing his secret. If the other party gathered all their troops and horses to catch up, he would have already retreated to Moji Castle.
"Do you know who is leading the troops and how many there are?"
"I saw Tachibana Michyuki's military flag! There are more than 10,000 pursuers!"
"Everyone at the back of the palace, stop, let's meet with the Kyushu Military God!" Hearing this name, Yoshikawa Motoharu sighed, pulled out his sword, and shouted sternly: "Form up! Never let an enemy go. !¡±
"Hi!" Eight thousand Yoshikawa troops responded in unison, causing birds to fly in all directions in the forest.
By the time the friendly forces caught up, it was already daylight. The Yoshikawa army is divided into three teams. The left and right geese are in a defensive posture with fish scales in the center, ready to fight!
Under the banner of the Tachibana family army with a double snake pattern, six strong servants carried a gondola, on which sat the incarnation of the thunder god, the military god of Kyushu, the undefeated god of war, and the soul of Otomo - Tachibana Michizuki.
It was not that Daoxue intended to break away from the samurai class and learn to ride in a sedan chair like an aristocrat, but that his leg had been injured since that time when he struck lightning with his sword. Before, people could tie themselves to horses and fight. But as he grew older, he could no longer ride a horse in autumn and winter, so he had to sit on a soft sedan to fight.
????????????????? But the Japanese, who have had two souls for generations, not only don¡¯t think he is stupid, but they think he is invulnerable to thunder. He is really awesome. In addition to his unparalleled fighting prowess, he is regarded as the incarnation of the God of Thunder. The enemies he faced were timid before they even fought. He also changed the name of his favorite thunder-striking sword, the Chidori, to the Raikiri, obviously liking this name very much.
Even though he was sitting on a sedan chair, Tachibana Michyuki was always in the lead. When his own side is at a disadvantage, he will say some irony, "Those who cherish life, leave me in the enemy's formation and run away for your own lives!" This will arouse the spirit of Chuuni in his subordinates, thus boosting their morale. The Tachibana Army turned defeat into victory several times.
Only with such a life-threatening military god sitting in command, can Otomo Zonglin withstand the attack of "Maori Liangchuan".
After his men took a breather, Daoxue ordered the formation to be reorganized. He used himself as the first formation and Takahashi Tonghu as the second formation to outflank the Yoshikawa Army from the mountains and forests.
At this time, the rain and snow gradually stopped, the sky cleared up,sp; "Hey." Wang Rulong was not in a hurry to change the formation, and just cursed at the herald: "Sign up and tell the gunners, damn, they are despised by little Japan, let them do whatever they want!"
Mr. Zhao has been with the ship for a month and a half, and he can't do nothing. In addition to training police cadres and helping his eldest nephew with suggestions, he also did a serious job, which was to train flag language for the heralds. If you don¡¯t know how to use semaphores, how can you be called a flagship?
In fact, it is not difficult to learn flag language. What is difficult is teaching them pinyin. Out of a narrow-minded nationalism that did not want to dwarf himself, Mr. Zhao taught them Chinese phonetic symbols instead of Latin letters
Anyway, the two can basically be converted into each other, and according to Taiwan¡¯s experience, first-year primary school students can master this thing in ten weeks of study. Therefore, Mr. Zhao decided to promote this Chinese character phonetic notation scheme in primary schools of Jiangnan Education Group starting next year.
Fortunately, the heralds are all smart people, and pinyin is not too difficult to learn, and you can master it in a month.
So the heralds on the adjacent warships all read this message from the constantly changing semaphores of the flagship herald:
"Gunners, Japan looks down on you!"
The gunners were immediately red-faced, and they fired every shot carefully, showing the highest level! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
