Kochi Fort is located in the core area of ​​Tosa Band in the southern part of Shikoku Island. It is located to the north, to the east, to the west, to the south, to the south, to the south, to the sea, and to the sea, only ten miles away from the sea.

Kochi Castle is six miles in radius, but the core of the castle is on the Bishan Mountain in the middle. Bishan Castle was built by the former Tosa vassal lord, while the outer city was built after Dodo came.

On the west and south, there is also a small fort on the mountain, each with 1,000 troops stationed, all built according to the danger and guarded by the Han army flag.

At present, around Kochi Fort, they are surrounded by the army of Tokugawa Rai-Ho, one of the three families. A few days ago, the encirclement of Kochi Fort had just closed, and a powerful fleet broke in from the sea. They were all strong turtle ships. These turtle ships broke through the blockade of Tokugawa Rai-Hokayama Navy and sent the supplies on the ship to the Duodor troops, which had not been supplied for half a year.

Before this, because the overall situation was decided, Tokugawa Rai Sun let the Portuguese fleet participating in the battle leave. Unexpectedly, the Portuguese fleet had just left. With the quality of the current Japanese vassal state ships, they are really no match for the North Korean turtle ships. Moreover, the North Korean turtle ships have abandoned the previous tactics of fire-breathing and poison-spraying tactics, and all use artillery.

Where did the artillery come from?

It is naturally Daxia. Nowadays, Daxia's strength is small, so it naturally sells foreign trade version artillery that has lagged behind several generations to the outside world. Although it has been controlling the total amount, it is always in short supply. For example, Haoge and Duoduo have used their savings for many years to purchase these things.

As a long-time general, Duoduo naturally knew that he could not put all the eggs in one basket. When his troops were pressed by the Japanese from all directions, he asked Zu Zepu to lead the navy to hide near Okino Island in the southwest of Shikoku Island.

Since Shikoku Island has a coastline of more than a thousand miles and many bays, even if all Japanese ships come here, it is not easy to find Zu Zepu's ship, and even if it is found, it may not be possible to fight. When assisting Duoduo in Jinzhou, Zu Kefa was in charge of the infantry in the city, while Zu Zepu was in charge of the navy. Fortunately, they arrived in Japan from Jinzhou for Zu Zepu's fleet. Otherwise, even if Nikan was willing to let them go, they might not be able to arrive.

Of course, without the guidance of Han Hai Army, it is negligible that their fleet would find it safely and arrive at Shikoku Island.

When Tokugawa Rairu learned that Zuzepu's fleet had arrived, he was not angry. Instead, he watched them enter Kochizu.

He knew that with his navy's ability, he would definitely not be able to block Haikou, but his failure did not mean that he had no help. Since he knew the movements of Zu Zepu's navy, he would not let them go again.

He immediately asked someone to notify Alfonso, the leader of the Portuguese fleet. They were resting in Wakayama, that is, their own vassal state. Wakayama is four hundred miles away from Kochi Fortress. Now it is the time when the north wind is first raised, and if the ship is fast, it will arrive in three or four days.

The base camp of Tokugawa Rairu is located about fifteen miles east of Kochizin? Where is the city of Minami, Japan in later generations? A manor that was originally a local samurai.

Autumn is approaching? Rain is rare on Shikoku Island.

The autumn rain, the redness of the mountains and fields, the dripping sound of raindrops on the eaves, and the heavy cloud curtains made Tokugawa Rai Xuan, who was 51 years old this year and known as the poet of the Three Olympians, couldn't help but feel a little poetic.

"The lead cloud is about to fall..."

Tokugawa Rai-hon sang in a low voice, raising poetry.

On the table, the white rice paper and Wakayama's local brush were ready, but the smell of the fishy sea drifted from a distance made him finally put down the brush.

But after he learned that Zu Zepu's fleet had entered Kochijin, he only issued one order.

"Pull up the chain!"

It turned out that he had been preparing for a long time. The sea outlet of Kochijin was only more than 200 meters wide. If he was blocked with a few iron chains, even the turtle ship would be useless.

"This battle must be won!"

He ignored the preciousness of rice paper imported from the Ming Dynasty and threw a brush full of Wakayama's dark ink on the rice paper. He never thought that the brush would throw it on the rice paper. With the splash of ink and the rolling of the brush, he accidentally formed a picture. At first glance, it looked a bit like a starting style of the master of Wakayama Kendo, and his chief retainer of Wakayama's vassal, Ando Shigeji Kendo.

Shigeji Ando was known as the "Sabre" and was also a strong player during the Tokugawa Ieyasu era. After Wakayama, Ohashi (Nagoya) and Mito (Ibaraki) three young sons of Tokugawa Ieyasu, Shigeji Ando was sent to Tokugawa Rairu as the chief retainer. At this time, Shigeji Ando had already passed away, but his adopted son, Shigeyu Ando, ​​the only successor of Wakayama Kendo, still served as the chief retainer of Tokugawa Rairu.

At present, Ando Shigeo is still the candidate for the encirclement and suppression of the Duoduo army this time, that is, the decisive force in the Pig Tu and siege. He is also Tokugawa Rai Sun, the Daimufu, equivalent to the intelligence chief.

Shigeo Ando is only 30 years old this year. When he saw this "paint", he quickly praised: "Song Lufangweng said, 'The article is natural, and he got it by hand'. Now the king threw it away casually and threw out the essence of Kayama Samurai and me. Doesn't it mean that my Kayama army and I will win a complete victory this time?"

But Tokugawa Rairu shook his head, "I can't be careless. The last time Tokugawa Raiman was defeated in Kyushu, it was already a bit bad for the general's reputation, which caused the disturbance of the thought of "respecting the king and expelling the barbarians" and was very unfavorable to the general's great cause."

"Bang!"

I saw Ando Shigeo pulling out the long sword that was more than one meter long on his waist. Japanese samurai have various swordsmanship, and the sword drawing technique is the most critical. Ando Shigeo pulled out such a long sword in a flash. In a flash, the people in the room saw a white light flashing, and the long sword appeared.

"Good knife!"

There are two people next to the table. They are both acquaintances of readers. They used to follow Tokugawa Raiya to fight against the Daxia Kingdom in Kyushu. One was Honda Masaki and the other was Inaba Masato. Now they are both under Tokugawa Raiha.

The one who just exclaimed was Masao Inaba, the son of Kasugaku, the former general Tokugawa Iemitsu wet nurse Kasugaku, who was born in a ninja and was originally Tokugawa Raifang, but now he has been demoted to Ando Shigeo to serve as the position of Metafu.

The other Honda Masaki was still silent. He was originally an old junior in Kyushu, but now he can only represent Tokugawa Raiya, under Tokugawa Raiji.

After a while, he couldn't help it. "The vassal lord, you can't be careless. Almost all the samurai samurai from the three families gathered in the Tosa vassal, in order to restore the decline of the relative vassal caused by the Mito vassal last time. If you accidentally... you will all be here..."

"Haga!" Ando Shigeo just pulled out the samurai sword and held the hilt with both hands, with the blade facing down and the back facing up. Although in the vassal lord's tent, it was also intimidating the sword-outing style of Wakayama Kendo. The next step is mostly to stare at the enemy and drag the long sword to retreat slowly. Once the enemy thinks that you are timid and want to retreat, the second and third steps of Wakayama Kendo's slash at the enemy in one go, like a whirlwind.

Since the long sword of Wakayama School is very long, if the strength, speed and technology are just right, this sword can at least cut off the enemy's hands after being cut!

Honda Masaki's pupils shrank suddenly. He knew how powerful the person in front of him was. If he had been a few years ago, his qualifications were far above him. However, as a defeated general, he could continue to serve under Tokugawa Raifang. He was already a general who was particularly kind. How could he compete with the chief retainer of the current three popular Wakayama family?

He quickly bent down and said, "Please atone for your sins!"

"Yes," Tokugawa Rairu spoke. Ando Shigeo realized that his master was still by his side. He suddenly drew his sword and was too fucking. He quickly put away his sword and bent over, "Please give him a crime!"

Tokugawa Rai Xuan waved his hand. Strictly speaking, this person was still his junior brother. Although he was a little reckless, he had no idea of ​​his loyalty.

"What Honda Jun said makes sense. The core forces of the three major vassals gather here, so you should be careful. There are tens of thousands of Jurchen barbarians in and outside the city, and there are thousands of cavalrymen. The trapped beasts are still fighting, let alone people shout? Moreover, these barbarians have great combat power. If it weren't for the inappropriate cavalry combat, our army would not necessarily be their opponent."

Inaba Masato said: "General General, the only chance for Jurchen barbarians to win is the other barbarians in Kyushu. But a few months ago, their navy fled as soon as they saw the ship of the Western Yi. Although Shikoku Island was narrow and narrow, they were surrounded by the sea and without the support of the fleet, they could only do anything."

Honda Masaki said: "The navy of the Kyushu barbarians didn't take it seriously. To be honest, their fleet may not be the opponent of my Japanese navy. What I am worried about is the navy of the Daxia Kingdom."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.

In recent years, whether it is sailing warships or steam warships, the Hanhai Navy has almost regarded the coastline of Honshu Island as their own territory, and has traveled without any scruples.

Of course, there were vassal lords who were loyal to the shogunate and "unbearable of humiliation, thus bringing shame to the shogunate" who dispatched their fleets to intercept them. Without exception, they all returned in a desperate situation. The better ones could bring a small number of ships back safely, and most of them were wiped out.

That's not all. If you encounter a general of the Hanhai Army who is difficult to talk to, you will definitely approach the nearby castle near the sea. First, there will be a bombardment of large-caliber artillery, then the Marines will land, and then burn, kill and loot, and then leave, making the vassal states feel so angry that they are so angry.

Just last year, the largest vassal state of Mu Ao, Ida Tadazong, the Sendai vassal, which had a height of one million stones, dispatched 300 small and small ships to encircle a fleet of Hanhai warships.

As a result, the Hanhai Fleet, which had only nine ships, did not retreat, and fought against Ida Tada's fleet in Xiantai. That time, including two Albatross, participated in the battle, and the result was obvious. In Xiantai, even the smallest Hanhai Fleet was not something that Japanese ships could not compete with.

That time, the Hanhai Army almost wiped out Tada Takazo's fleet at the cost of almost killing and injuring more than ten people (Sendai is a super vassal of Japan, with rice production and iron smelting industry at the forefront of the state. It can build muskets by itself, and its real strength is still above the three Omen). It almost wiped out Tada Takazo's fleet, the power of the steam engine, the firepower of several generations, and the Japanese samurai moths to the flames without retreating, resulting in the navy that the two generations of Masatori Ida Takazo and Tada Takazo Ida Takazo were finally trained to ashes.

After that time, no vassal state dared to come out to block the Hanhai Fleet.

This time it was the same. Although it seemed that the Dodo tribe was surrounded on all sides on the surface, Tokugawa Rai-hsu knew that it would take some time to completely destroy the Dodo tribe. If the Hanhai Army suddenly arrived during this period, it would be not certain who would destroy it.
