Chapter 242 Infantry-Tank Coordination
After the three traitors discussed it, they found that the family's neat plan would not work.

First of all, Blood Rage is not worth taming and is excluded from the family.

Yan Xu is not intolerant. To him, it is okay to have poor abilities, but it is not okay to be brainless. What's more, Xue Nu is irritable, impulsive and bloodthirsty.

These were not caused by the demonization technique, but were due to Blood Fury's own personality problems, so being killed was his only outcome.

As for the leader of the Demon Ninja, who is now a lone commander, his origins are very mysterious. According to the calculations made by the three people based on their respective intelligence, he is most likely not a ninja, but an Onmyoji who hides his true identity and has a deep purpose. He just uses the guise of Demon Ninja to perfect the art of demonization.

The three members of Poison Bee had no idea what the other party's plans and ambitions were, they just felt it was extremely dangerous.

In this case, there is no need to continue to pester him. If the other party is sensible and stays away from him, Yan Xu will not be interested in dealing with him. If he is not sensible, although his Zhuxing family is not a dangerous place, not everyone can enter.

As a powerful leader, if Yan Xu really wanted to kill someone, as long as he issued a bounty, there would be many people willing to risk their lives, and the daimyos from all over the place would not stop him. It was a tacit understanding.

Therefore, if the leader of the Demon Ninja is really ungrateful, even if he does not die, as long as the bounty order is not withdrawn, he will live in endless pursuit for the rest of his life.

When a riot broke out in the Moroboshi barracks and a fire broke out, the Mori family ninjas and samurai who had been waiting in the city for a long time seemed to have received a signal. They picked up their hidden weapons and armor, wrapped white cloth on their heads, rushed to the streets in twos and threes, gathered together and spontaneously rushed to the port.

Mori Hidemoto, who had sneaked into Amano Castle at some point, ignored the Mori warriors who were running towards the port like a stream beside him, and stared at the barracks of the Moroboshi family for a long time. Finally, he sighed, because he knew that the assassination of the Demon Ninja had failed, and the Moroboshi family was probably well prepared for it.

The sounds coming from the Zhuxing family's barracks were too rigid, and although there were many fire points, they did not spread for a long time and were not extinguished. It was obvious that they were deliberately lit for outsiders to see.

Most importantly, he sent the family's elite ninjas to sneak into the barracks and try to ignite the Moroboshi family's gunpowder storage area, but to no avail.

The wisest choice now is to evacuate immediately, but he has no choice and the Mori family can't wait.

Maori Hidemoto smiled bitterly. He knew it was a trap but had to step into it. It was a terrible feeling.

At this moment, the warriors of the Mori family had rushed to the port. They wanted to clear the obstacles for the Mori navy to dock, so they were extremely brave and killed dozens of people on the spot.

The patrolling farmers of the Moroboshi clan were naturally no match for these carefully selected warriors of the Mori clan. They collapsed at the first contact, allowing the Mori clan to directly occupy the port with an unstoppable force.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the ships of the Moroboshi family docked at the port tried to leave, but they were crowded together. Only the small Kohayafune was able to escape, and no one knew where it was heading. The rest of the people had no choice but to surrender and were escorted by the samurai of the Mori family to the warehouse area for imprisonment.

These people are all skilled sailors, and they are very familiar with the situation on the secondary island. As long as they do not resist, the Mori family will not kill them casually. They will wait to subdue them as a help in capturing the secondary island.

Witnessing all this, Maori Hidemoto could only smile bitterly in his heart, and then ordered his men to set up layers of defenses in the port, because this might be their only chance to win.

After receiving the signal, the Mori navy, which had been wandering not far from the port, sped up and headed for the port. As soon as it docked, a large number of elite foot soldiers, hatamoto and samurai swarmed down, which made Mori Hidemoto more and more uneasy.

Before the Mori family's army left the port, a strange army came from the commercial district that had not yet been built.

Although he was mentally prepared, Mori Hidemoto still gasped when he saw dozens of wild boar monsters as big as houses and elite soldiers equipped with large numbers of cannons. The Moroboshi family was indeed worthy of its reputation, and the Mori family was in big trouble this time.

The Maori family has always been plotting against Yan Xu, and Yan Xu has naturally also been plotting against the Maori family.

From the beginning, Yan Xu clearly realized that the two sides would have to fight sooner or later. The Mori family could not delay, and the Moroboshi family could not wait.

If the Mori family is not completely defeated and the other party is not allowed to acquiesce in defeat, the Moroboshi family will never be able to vigorously develop Amano Castle, and the people of Amano City will never be completely loyal.

Military force does not represent everything, but it best represents authority, so Yan Xu has been waiting for a major war to gain a firm foothold on the main island.

Therefore, after realizing the conspiracy of the Mori family, he went with the flow and cooperated with the other party, allowing the Mori family to deploy troops to the port which seemed unexpected but actually had no way of retreat.

At this moment, the two sides are like a butt fight on a single-plank bridge, but there is no river under the bridge, but a deep abyss.

The Moroboshi family was defeated, and when the port was occupied by the Mori family, they could only flee to the heartland of the Mori family. Their fate can be imagined.

The Mori clan was defeated. Not to mention the loss of the navy, just in order to achieve victory, what was transported this time were almost all the elite warriors from the entire Mori clan's heartland. Without these warriors, it would not be a big deal in the short term, but after a long time, chaos would break out in all parts of the Mori clan.

Samurai are not only elite warriors, but also the cornerstone of the daimyo's rule. Without these samurai, the daimyo will be completely isolated from the grassroots, and will not be able to govern or even collect taxes.

After all, how many people in the Mori family have seen the Mori Daimyo? The warriors they are familiar with and obey on a daily basis are not these warriors.

However, although it seems that both sides have placed heavy bets, in fact, one side is cheating.

The barracks originally only had 2,000 soldiers stationed there, but 4,000 soldiers kept coming out of it, leaving Yan Xu with enough energy to send 1,500 soldiers to strengthen the defense behind Amano Castle to prevent the Mori family from attacking from land.

Mori Hidemoto, who was completely unaware of this, was still calculating the military strength of the Moroboshi family. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he came up with a number, and then he continued to issue orders to fill in the defense line that he had hastily set up before.

"The Zhutu tanks are in the front, and the Iron Cannon Foot Soldiers are in the back, pressing forward step by step and constantly compressing the enemy's activity area, but do not advance rashly and do not enter the port area." Yan Xu will not be on the battlefield in person. After giving the order, the people below will naturally carry it out.

As the order was given, the boilerman who was half-crouching in the steam tank waved a short iron shovel and sent the selected coal into the steam engine, making the fire burn more vigorously and the steam more sufficient.

But the temperature inside was also rising rapidly. Even though they were only wearing a loincloth, they could not stop sweating. However, no one drank the light salt sugar water that had been prepared long ago, because the war had just begun and it was not yet time for them to replenish their energy and water.

As soon as the Zhutu tank started, the foot soldiers behind it followed closely, forming combat teams with tanks as the core.

Behind each Zhutu tank were ten foot soldiers, consisting of five foot soldiers with iron cannons and five foot soldiers with guns.

The pig-turret tanks are responsible for resisting the enemy's attacks and breaking up the enemy's formation, while the iron cannon foot soldiers try to kill the enemy from a long distance, and the gun-wielding foot soldiers are mainly responsible for clearing out the approaching enemies, forming two lines of defense, near and far.

This is done because although the Pig Tank looks powerful, it actually has many weaknesses, such as limited attack angles and low frequency. Therefore, once the enemy gets close, they can work together to push it down from the side.

This led to the collapse of Yan Xu's original idea of ​​forming a tank group charge, and he could only become a mobile defense line of the infantry.

However, the coordination between infantry and tanks is also good, and this battle will be the time to see the effect.
