That night, the moon was shining and the stars were sparse, and everything was silent. The Seto Inland Sea was calm and everything seemed to be in a deep sleep.

However, on the sea southwest of Itsudao, there was a huge fleet of ships moving in the night, and the shadow of the ship was like a city tower, which was extremely terrifying.

Obviously, this cannot be a fleet under a certain vassal state in Japan, because Japan could not build such a large ship, and only the Ming Dynasty had such a giant ship.

This fleet is the shipping fleet under Hong Tiezhu. He came to help Maori Yuan and raided Itsudao after receiving Yang Cong's secret order.

Why did Yang Cong help the unknown Japanese local tyrants to fight against the army of the Ouchi, the overlord of the Western Kingdom, which has many Western powers?

Not only Hong Tiezhu couldn't understand this, but even Hou Zhitan, who had always been very smart and tricky, could not understand it.

The two stood at the bow of the flagship and discussed with interest towards the moonlit sea.

Hong Tiezhu said a little silly: "Monkey, what do you think of the Maori family are interested in?"

Hou Zhitan smiled and said, "I don't know that the Maori family can say that they have no money and no one. Anyone who wants to bring out any princes in Japan is better than them. Maybe the adults just want to help the weak."

This is what I say, I will help the strong and help the weak, and I will do my best to the heavens.

Although Hong Tiezhu is stupid on the outside, he is not stupid at all. He couldn't help but laugh and scold, "You think we are really pirates, and you can help the weak. Haven't you ever told you about the Japanese strategy or something?"

Hou Zhitan secretly looked at Gui Yuancheng, who was even more silly than Hong Tiezhu, and said carefully: "What strategy, don't talk nonsense."

Gui Yuancheng doesn’t understand Chinese, and they have confirmed this, and Wang Zhi has arranged a special translation for them.

However, who knows whether this guy is pretending? After all, this guy just acted in a drama of surrender not long ago, leading all the main army under Tao Qingxian to Yandao.

Hong Tiezhu also secretly glanced at Gui Yuancheng, then said with a stern face to the translation: "Boy, don't translate all our words to him in private."

The general translator quickly explained: "How dare you, young people? If the general doesn't ask me to translate, I will never tell him a word."

Hong Tiezhu nodded slightly and said, "This guy looks stupid, but in fact he is a ghost. You guys have to be smart. We are not really aligned with others. You don't want to say anything to others."

The general interpreter quickly bowed and said, "The little one understands, the little one understands."

At this time, Gui Yuancheng finally couldn't help but ask, "Do you have any instructions?"

The Tongyi said angrily: "Your Excellency General, how far is it? You have been drifting on the sea for a long time, why haven't you arrived at the place yet?"

Upon hearing this, Gui Yuancheng quickly explained: "It's so fast, it's so fast, it's only a few dozen miles, and it's only half an hour at most."

The place they went to was not Itsukishima or Hiroshima, but a small fishing port dozens of miles west of Hiroshima.

Maori Moto was also brave. Tao Qingxian's main force has entered Itini Island, less than 30 miles from Hiroshima, so he dared to pull out all the main force. If Tao Qingxian gets the news, it doesn't take 20,000 or 30,000 people. Just send two or three thousand people to easily capture Hiroshima City.

Unfortunately, Tao Qingxian didn't know that Mori Motozu had left Hiroshima Castle at all, and he was still trying hard to mobilize food and supplies to Itsuki.

After all, the consumption of 20,000 to 30,000 people is not an ordinary big deal. Although he ignored the fact that "knowing oneself and enemy, he will never be defeated in a hundred battles", he still has a good understanding of the importance of food and grass.

This is also the reason why he took down Yidao in advance, because the navy under his command could transport two or three thousand troops at a time. It would take at least half a day for Zhou Fangguo to take the water route to Anyiguo. In other words, it would take about ten days for him to transport 20,000 or 30,000 people to Anyiguo.

He didn't dare to ignore it and lead his army to land near Hiroshima. You know, Maori Yuan is not fuel-efficient. If he dares to transport two or three thousand troops to land near Hiroshima in batches, Maori Yuan would definitely lead his army to fight. At that time, the people who landed in advance would be in danger.

This will be different if it occupies Itoshima, because Itoshima is less than thirty miles away from Hiroshima, and it can fight back and forth in almost half an hour. Within half a day, he can transport all 20,000 to 30,000 troops outside Hiroshima City. If Maori Yuan dares to lead his army out of the city to block the attack, he can annihilate Maori Yuan's main force in one fell swoop.

His abacus was a slight game, but unfortunately, from the beginning, he had been hit by the Maori Yuanjiu plan. As an important springboard as Itamiya, would Maori Yuan let a general with ill-hearted intentions be stationed?

If he thought about it carefully, he would find the tricks. Unfortunately, he didn't think about it at all.

At this moment, the 20,000 to 30,000 troops were already in place. Just when the food, supplies were transported, he could launch an attack on Hiroshima. He never thought that Maori Yuan would launch a raid at night, because he had occupied Itsuasion for almost half a month, and Maori Yuan still had no movement at all. If Maori Yuan wanted Maori Yuan, he really had a way to transport people to Itsuasion for a raid. I'm afraid that the raid would have been launched a raid long ago.

It's very simple. Maori Yuan only has two or three thousand troops under his command. He definitely dare not force his 20,000 to 30,000 troops. If he can raid, he will naturally launch a raid before others arrive. Two or three thousand people will raid three or four thousand or even five or six thousand people will be successful. If he raids two or three thousand people will be absolutely impossible to succeed.

How could he know that the reason why Maori Yuan did not launch a surprise attack when others were not fully arrived was not because he could not land on Itsukushima. Maori Yuan wanted to wipe out all his main forces in one fell swoop!

He never thought about such a thing, so he didn't arrange for people to guard the situation at night, especially after the two or three thousand main troops arrived, he felt even more at ease. At night, he fell asleep comfortably. As for the on-duty and other things, his subordinates would arrange it.

After all, he was leading his army to land and mobilizing food and supplies. He was very tired after working for more than half a month. Moreover, he had to attack Hiroshima City next time. It would take many days for a big battle. He was not sure. If he didn't have a good rest at this time, he would have no time to rest when he really attacked the city.

As the head coach, he was so careless, so his generals were naturally even more careless. Perhaps, everyone thought that 20,000 to 30,000 people were placed here, and even if they asked for the Maori Yuan, they would come and raid, and they would not dare to come. What should I worry about?
