Volume Four, Chapter 174, Midnight Thunder

It was late at night and people were getting more and more difficult. Even the soldiers patrolling the night camp in Tao Qingxian’s army no longer swayed everywhere. The entire island of Yan was as quiet as if there was no one in the crowd, but the sound of waves striking the shore was still echoing in the distance.

It was at this time that a huge fleet suddenly appeared on the sea on the northwest of Itsukushima.

This fleet is really huge. There are probably more than 300 ships of all sizes, densely packed, and it makes people feel numb to see.

Speaking of which, Hong Tiezhu's fleet is less than 200 ships of all sizes. Why did this fleet suddenly reach the scale of 300?

This is of course the "credit" of Mori Mori. The Maori clan did not have a naval army, but the Yoshikawa clan and Kobayakakawa clan had it, or in other words, Mori mori deliberately dispersed his naval army to the Yoshikawa clan and Kobayakakawa clan, so the Maori clan was so weird that there were no naval army.

Of course, whether it is the Yoshikawa and Kobayakawa or the Maori navy, their "warships" cannot be compared with the warships under Hong Tiezhu. To put it bluntly, their "warships" are just modified fishing boats. The largest one is only a few feet long and there is no artillery at all. The smallest one is several feet long, and the number of artillery is even more scary.

Mao Rimoto stood at the bow of Hong Tiezhu's flagship, looking expressionless, but in fact he was already shocked because Hong Tiezhu's fleet was really scary.

Last time, he just took a rough look from a distance and did not board the ship to take a closer look, so he didn't know how many artillery guns the warships under Hong Tiezhu were equipped with.

This time, he personally boarded Hong Tiezhu's flagship and secretly saw it clearly and clearly.

This guy, on both sides of the flagship, there are almost all the guns of the same size as the one he bought, and the guns on the bow and stern of the ship are even more amazing. On this flagship alone, there are probably less than 30 guns. How many guns are there on these nearly 200 warships?

He didn't ask this question. He stood there pretending to be pondering for a while, then he carefully tentatively said: "General Hong, I want to ask you for a favor, I wonder if it's possible?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Tiezhu bowed politely: "Your master has any help, even if you have any questions, our master has told you to do your best to help you eliminate Tao Qingxian's army in Yandao."

Is this really the case?

Mao Riyuan simply said directly: "General Hong, we have already investigated the arrangement of Tao Qingxian's army. Their camp is near the fishing port on the south of Iron Island, less than a hundred steps from the coast. In other words, firing artillery on the sea surface can completely bombard Tao Qingxian's army's camp. I want to trouble the general, and then send us ashore and then go around to the south of Iron Island, and bombard Tao Qingxian's camp for several rounds."

Yang Cong really told Hong Tiezhu about this matter that if Tao Qingxian’s army’s camp was close to the coast, it would be fine to help them hit it, but it would just waste some shells anyway.

Hong Tiezhu nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem, the head of the family will arrange a guide for me at that time."

When Mori Moon heard this, he couldn't help but look excited on his face.

He wasn't pretending, he was so excited.

Because Hong Tiezhu has at least a thousand artillery numbers, as long as he helps him hit a few rounds, Tao Qingxian's army will have at least several thousand casualties. In this way, he will definitely win!

He was a surprise attack. As long as Tao Qingxian's army was in chaos, he would basically be in sight. If Hong Tiezhu's thousands of shells were bombarded, would Tao Qingxian's army not be in chaos?

At that time, I'm afraid it's not the word "chaotic".

He quickly bowed and bowed, "thank you, General."

Soon, the fleet's forward was approaching the beach. With a command from Maori Moon, countless soldiers jumped into the water like dumplings.

Maori Yuan was indeed worthy of the title of the most wise general of the Warring States Period. Although his soldiers under him were no different from those of Tao Qingxian's soldiers in terms of physical fitness, they were far different in execution ability, and their movement speed was more than a little faster.

After jumping into the water, these soldiers were not instructed. They all seemed to be on a clockwork, and they were extremely fast. Those far away from the beach just swam to the beach. Those who were close to the beach stood in the water, lined up in rows, and delivered iron cannons and other supplies to the shore quickly.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the login was miraculously completed!

This place is not a port, nor is it a wharf. It is really not easy for tens of thousands of troops to land so quickly.

Hong Tiezhu looked at Mao Ri Yuan's back as he left, and couldn't help but admire him.

He finally understood why Yang Cong chose such a famous local tyrant. This guy really has a few tricks.

However, it is not a good thing that this guy is too powerful, because the more powerful it is, the more troublesome it will be to pack it up later.

Why do you want to spare no effort to support this guy?

What if this guy develops?

His heart was filled with questions.

Of course, no matter how many questions he had in his heart, he would not question Yang Cong's orders.

He just shook his head slightly, then signaled the fleet to turn and circled all the way to the south of Itsukushima.

Hong Tiezhu led the fleet to leave, and Mao Riyuan had already personally brought more than 10,000 subordinates to touch Tao Qingxian's army camp silently.

This Imajima was originally the territory of the Maori family, so they were naturally familiar with it. Even at night, they moved quite quickly. In less than two quarters of an hour, they had already touched less than a mile from Tao Qingxian's army camp.

At this time, Tao Qingxian's army camp still had no movement at all. The people inside probably would never have dreamed that they would suffer a catastrophe.

Maori Yuan looked at the situation in the camp coldly, and then whispered: "Plant the iron cannon and prepare to bombard it. Yuanchun and Longjing, take your people to scatter left and right. When the sound of artillery at sea stops, we will launch at the same time and rush into the camp together."

Yoshikawa Motoharu and Kobayakawa Takake heard this, they shouted "Hayi" together, and then led their subordinates to touch the left and right sides.

Not long after, all the signals were heard from both sides, and all 100 iron cannons were in place and the shells were loaded.

Seeing this, Mori Moto waved his hand without hesitation and shouted: "Light up, fire!"

The sudden loud shout appeared in the night sky, which really scared the soldiers patrolling the night in Tao Qingxian's camp. Before they could react, the loud "boom boom boom" sounded like thunder to break the tranquility of the night. Many camp tents were smashed by shells, and the soldiers sleeping inside were even more smashed and screamed.

This is just the beginning.

Immediately afterwards, another continuous loud noise came from the sea, and countless shells hit the camp like raindrops, which lasted for a long time.

Maori Yuan originally thought that even if Hong Tiezhu had thousands of cannons under his command, he could only continue to bombard a cup of tea at most. Unexpectedly, a quarter of an hour passed, and the roar of cannons on the sea still showed no sign of stopping.
