Chapter One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Four: Now that you see the golden tree, why don’t you worship it?
"Jiahong, how are you? Can you see clearly?"
"O Lord God! It's clearly visible, it's clearly visible! It's such an incredible divine thing! How on earth was this 'divine eyepiece' made?"
"Huh? Jiahong, didn't I tell you? This is the magic power of the Lord God and the blessing given by the Lord God!"
"Uh!...mana...divine blessing?..."
"What? You don't believe it? Tell you, this is the inspiration from the Lord God that His Majesty Shenqi personally listened to, and then guided the Shenqi Institute to create the divine object!"
"Ah! That mythical and noble king! The patron saint of the night, the incarnation of Tsukuyomi fate?"
"What evil moon god? The divinity your Majesty inherited is death and rebirth... take a good look at the enemy ships!"
"Yes! Yes! Keep watching, little one!"
The morning sun shines on the coast of Hokkaido. Ten ships are parked in this bay, like a pack of attracted wolves, stationary for a long time. On the coast, six "ship barriers" are lined up.
, and then use dozens of anti-arrow sheds connected in a line, like a "fence" to guard against wolves.
Behind the fence, on a natural mound, Zuvalo was wearing ordinary warrior attire, looking at the "Hejin Temple Fleet" on the sea. Beside him, Lathander and Ali were missing.
, I don’t know where I went. However, Iehiro Ryuzoji held a meter-long "magic eyepiece" and kept looking at the rooftop fleet on the sea with a surprised look on his face.
"Naruya! Oops! You can even see the appearance of a person hundreds of steps away...how wonderful and wonderful this scene is!"
"Jiahong! What did you see? Who is the general opposite?..."
"Ah! Look, Master Priest! It is a famous war ship of the Tiantai Sect. It is named after the 'Miaoho Lotus' and is called the 'Fahua Maru'. The length is about nine feet long and three feet wide. It can hold five
Ten monk soldiers and thirty oarsmen. The hull is divided into three layers. The bottom layer is the cabin below the deck. The second layer is reinforced and covered with thick plates, with a shooting hole in the middle. As for the third layer, it is used for overlooking and commanding.
The small square platform…”
"There is a square sail mast in the middle of this ship, but the design is very sophisticated. The mast can be easily added or folded. The main navigation is relying on the believer oarsmen on the bottom to paddle. And at the bow and stern of the ship
, each has a small bed crossbow, which must be loaded by at least four people together. It can shoot hundreds of steps and break the samurai's body!..."
"O God! This ship is tall and heavy. It has at least two layers of arrow-proof outer panels. The hull is dark and must be fire-proof raw paint. It must have been painted with more than one layer... This is different from the commercial Benzai ship.
, it is truly top-notch for water fighting.
Warship! This kind of warship can generally only be obtained by the big forces related to the shogunate and the guardian-level daimyo of various countries. But in our poor Kyushu, the samurai family with less than 50,000 koku would never even think about such a warship!
"
Ryuuzouji Iehiro sighed with emotion, his admiration was beyond words, and he praised the ship as "rare in the sky and unparalleled on the sea." If all the samurai families on the coast of Kyushu and the sea had such warships, they would still be afraid.
What kind of navy of the Kingdom of Korea? They had already sent customs ships over and sent them all into the sea one by one. Even Ganghwa Island was broken and robbed!
"Haha! Jiahong, you! There are still too few sailing on the sea, this is not a good ship!..."
Zuvalo smiled. This kind of tall and heavy warship looked very swaying at first glance. It is only used on this coast. It is estimated that it cannot even go to the Ice and Snow Island, let alone cross the Shenqi Island.
The chain was broken. Seeing the expression on the priest's face, Ryuzoji Iehiro immediately slapped his forehead and quickly smiled.
"Yes! Yes! The villain has little experience, which made the priest laugh... Well... I just saw the great monk Juehui at the bow of the Hokage Maru. He is a famous monk in Omi, and he is qualified to join the Myoho Court monks.
The kind of people who discuss matters...yes! Probably equivalent to the priests and elders of the temple..."
"Witness the Lord God! This time when the Tiantai fleet attacks, Juehui must be the highest-ranking official. Behind him is a senior monk from the Omi family, and he himself is also a master... Well, the illegitimate son of the high priest... as long as he is captured alive
, I’m not afraid that if the great monks in the Tiantai Sect don’t bow their heads, they will definitely send someone to redeem them!…”
"However, Master Ancestor Priest, what is a bit troublesome is that next to the great monk Juehui, I saw the official Siba Zhenwei! This is a famous general from the Siba family. He participated in the Yingren Rebellion twenty years ago.
This type of battle formation has rich experience, and is especially good at water warfare.
A few years ago, when the Echizen Shiba clan declined, he took a group of Shiba clan's survivors and sought shelter under the Tendai Sect. He was considered the most powerful general the Tendai Sect could produce! He was also responsible for the daily training of the monk soldiers and commanded the monk soldiers.
Come on, it’s probably hard to make any mistakes…”
Ryuzoji Jiahong watched for a while with one eye, and frowned. The Tiantai Sect really paid great attention to this "sneak attack", and the great monk Juehui had such a profound background that he even pulled out this general!
"Master Priest! With this experienced general here, ordinary conspiracies and tricks may not be used. This battle can only be fought hard, and there is probably no chance of success. And the morale of the monk soldiers on the opposite side is also very low.
Stronger than ordinary samurai, such as the forward-thinking Ezo samurai of the Oyizaki clan..."
"Haha! God bless you! Jiahong, to be honest, right now I'm just worried that he will turn around and leave, and I don't know when he will come back for a sneak attack if he finds an opportunity later. As for real swords and guns, a real tough battle, the kingdom's warriors are on land.
, I’ve really never been afraid of anyone!”
Zuwaro laughed confidently and patted Ryuzoji Iehiro on the shoulder. Then, he touched his chin, looked at the rooftop fleet that had been parked at sea for a long time, and then looked at the camp, which he personally arranged and arranged.
"Golden Treasure Tree" still looked a little worried.
"Jiahong, the rooftop fleet suddenly appeared and then stopped in the bay. It stayed there for two or three quarters of an hour without moving! Could it be that they retreated when they saw that we were on guard?
Just like last time, the Uyizaki clan was like this. As soon as they saw a big battle coming, they immediately left the soldiers behind and ran away, faster than anyone else..."
"Hmm... what do you think he will choose? Is the temptation of this thousand catties of gold enough? I said at that time, if one thousand catties is not enough, you can add another thousand catties! This time, Luosanda brought exactly two thousand catties
Come…"
"Lord God! Enough, enough! Sir, this is a thousand kilograms of gold and a hundred thousand guan of money! Even if the great monk Juehui kills all the monks and soldiers here, as long as he can bring 100,000 guan
It would be easy to go back and recruit and train a new group of monk soldiers.
It's so easy! You must know that Tiantai Temple is different from the samurai family. Their biggest support is actually the nobles of the shogunate. As long as the authority of the shogunate is still there and the nobles still believe in these great monks, even if the monk soldiers are defeated,
There is no Wu family to destroy their sect..."
Hearing Priest Zuvalo's "golden violence theory", Ryuzoji Iehiro's eyes twitched, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch. Even though he had already been to the west coast, to the Kingdom in the Lake, and seen the continuous golden mountains... the kingdom
This kind of "gold weight", which is often measured in kilograms, still makes his mouth dry and his eyes are filled with golden light!
"O Lord God of Golden Light! Stay focused, stay focused!"
Ryuzoji Iehiro smiled bitterly and shook his head, lamenting that his Buddhist teachings had been broken and his concentration was not strong enough. But presumably the "eminent monk" in the sea was not much better than him at the moment! At least, he used
What the god's eyepiece saw was that the other party was stunned at the bow of the ship, looking in the direction of the "Golden Treasure Tree", not moving for a full quarter of an hour...
"God bless you! Lord Priest... When he saw that we were on guard and had set up the camp, it would be fine if the Tiantai Sect turned around and left without getting into this situation! But now, they are staying still, then
Even if he has been tempted, he will soon be unable to bear it. And as long as he leaves the game, he is on the gambling table. For this visible bet, as long as there is a chance of winning money, he will gamble more and more.
Get bigger and bigger until you stake everything!”
"If the great monk Juehui can still hold back in this situation, then he is really a living Buddha, and his Buddhist practice is as profound as the heavens! But if he really has such Buddhist teachings, he should not come this time, let alone this time
At this moment, appear here with the fleet!..."
"Besides, no matter what Monk Juehui chooses...as long as we don't get on the boat, we will be invincible! The difference is just whether we win less or win more! The priest can think of the 'Golden Treasure Tree'
This move is really eye-opening for me!…”
"Haha! Iehiro, it was you who made the suggestion first. The Oyezaki clan will not go north, and it is impossible for the Ezo land to suddenly appear with thousands of Japanese troops. Since there is no threat on land, then we only need to stick to the camp and not enter.
Just play the "naval battle" that the Tiantai Sect has prepared for. As long as you don't enter the "game" on the opposite side, there will be no risk of defeat! ... Your suggestion is very good, it inspired me! Since we don't enter
It’s their game, so why not go one step further and set up a game to lure them in..."
Hearing Ryuzoji Iehiro's compliments, Zuwaro laughed and reached out, patting the other person on the shoulder. He was indeed a little proud of this response and setup.
"His Majesty taught you at Shenwei University that in war, you must first have courage, and secondly, calculation and measurement! The most cost-effective and advantageous situation is to be on the battlefield of your choice and be well prepared, with less loss.
Use your own defensive stance to force others to take an offensive with greater losses!…”
"Witness the Lord God! Since they want gold, I will put it here, in abundance. Then, we will stay behind the line, waiting for them to hit their heads and bleed, and wait for them to snatch it!..."
"Ah! Praise the Lord God! Sun Tzu said, 'Thus, those who are good at fighting can cause harm to others without harming them.' The art of war of the priest is the real art of war!"
"Haha! Jiahong, what did you say? What's 'grandson'? What's 'homo sapiens'?..."
"Well!…"
On the hill, the two people watching were chatting and laughing freely. With that confident look, they didn't know what arrangements were left behind their backs. They could wait patiently, but the rooftop fleet at sea finally
I couldn't bear it anymore.
“Boom!…Woo!…Buzz!!”
"Praise my Buddha! Namo Wonderful Lotus, Namo Sakyamuni!..."
"Exterminate demons and defend the Tao, protect the righteous Dharma! Resist Shantao, fight to the death!..."
“Boom!…Woo!…Buzz!!”
"Forward! String the crossbow, lean towards the coast, move forward! Shoot arrows!!..."
"Swish! Swish!..."
The shocking sound of the conch resounded for miles along the seashore, conveying the irresistible greed and determination! Accompanied by the two conch horns, fanatical praise sounded from ten ships at the same time.
After stopping for a full three-quarters of an hour, the rooftop fleet's attack on the shore camp finally started from the sea, accompanied by a continuous rain of arrows!
