In the early morning of the next day, in addition to the troops guarding the front line, 5,000 Haiji Island militiamen gathered near the southern pier of the island and waited.

Dan Lei only took Mitsuyo and one hundred Okutsu officers to land on the island.

Facing thousands of people, Niwa didn't waste any time. He directly called his officers to select two thousand men to board the ship, and took them all to a small island southeast of Kaiji Island to set up camp.

Later, he brought a thousand Aojie soldiers and mixed them with these two thousand people, one with two, specifically to practice the triangle formation.

Soon, Niwa discovered the strengths of the Umi islanders.

Although the martial arts of these islanders are far inferior to those of the Aojiezhong, they are very disciplined and hardworking. With the support of sufficient supplies, they have made very rapid progress.

After asking, Niyu found out that most of these people were fishermen.

Since there is mostly deep sea near Haiji Island, it is difficult to get enough fishing by fishing in small boats. The people of Haiji Island have long been accustomed to fishing in large boats.

Each large ship can have as few as dozens or as many as hundreds of people, and they need to cooperate with each other to sail and catch enough fish. Therefore, sea fishermen have long been accustomed to observing discipline, and they are naturally an excellent source of soldiers!

Niyu kept this incident in mind, but did not act immediately.

At this time, the shogunate's treasury was so poor that even a rat would want to commit suicide if he entered it. There was no way he could use more resources to recruit troops. Let's just make do with it for the past two years!

While training, Niwa also selected a group of relatively talented young people from the Kaiji Island militia and generals, asking them to follow and serve him in the name of Okukizu. In fact, they taught by words and deeds, preparing to bring out several qualified officers. Come.

What he didn't expect was that Coral Gongya actually ran to him and became a shrine maiden.

"This girl is probably afraid that I have some conspiracy... Silly girl, even if I have a conspiracy, you can't see through it..." Niyu felt amused, so he let her go.

After about half a month of training, Niwa began to organize the battle.

Because it is an internal battle, transportation is relatively convenient, and Haiji Island is willing to share some of the supply problems, so the difficulty of the battle is greatly reduced.

In order to allow these rookies to adapt to the battle rhythm as soon as possible, Niwa formulated a small-scale, high-frequency, fast-in and fast-out tactical strategy.

"The most important thing is to use a small force to fight in complex terrain between islands. The most important thing is to be flexible and use the fast to fight the slow. With the high mobility of the navy, target local vulnerable locations, use the cover of fog or night, or use small Troops feign attacks to cover up their true attack intentions and attack the enemy's vulnerable positions."

"In every attack, the most powerful and brave generals and soldiers must be selected as arrowheads to destroy the enemy's defense line as quickly as possible. No matter how many results are achieved, they must evacuate quickly before local reinforcements arrive, and cannot be reluctant to fight."

"This is to deal with monsters. The enemy cannot have sea ships and cannot pursue them into the sea. If the enemy you are facing is a human, you can also consider sending a small force to go around and burn the enemy ships..."

The thousand Okukis brought out by Niwa are all carefully selected elites. They are originally reserved talents for the shogunate army officers. At this time, they can teach both sides by words and deeds, and they can also do an internship by the way.

When the official battle began, Niwa mixed the two sides and forced them to fight side by side. At the same time, he often used words to provoke conscious competition between the two sides.

As the battle progresses, talent comes to the fore.

Okukiko was a professional samurai with outstanding martial arts skills and had experienced the training of wars. He fought well in the early stages and won awards one after another. He arrogantly stood up in front of the Kaijijima officers every day, making them angry but unable to get angry.

After a month, the advantage of Haiji Island people's strict discipline became apparent.

The samurai of Okukizu were used to being disorganized. Once, they were too war-loving to attack the island, so that half of the team fell into a tight siege. In the end, Niwa personally led a reinforcement force composed of sea islanders to rescue them.

The Haiji Islanders, on the other hand, took their discipline to the extreme. The monsters that attacked the coastal islands always took advantage and ran away without suffering any losses. Their cumulative record actually gradually surpassed that of the Ojie Zhong, but the casualties were smaller than them.

Now it was Ojie's turn to lose control. After some officers gathered together to discuss, they relied on their own force to gain the upper hand, and also used tactics to deceive the monsters. They made dumplings of the monsters on the island at once, and their record was instantly surpassed. .

Seeing the healthy competition between the two armies, Niyu was very pleased. From time to time, he would reward the one with a few good knives and the other with a banner of honor, instigating the two groups to howl.

But what made him most curious was that the goddess-miko lady who appeared as a human being always followed him quietly, taking a small notebook with her every day and not knowing what she was writing down.

Time passed gradually in this small-scale battle.

Relying on piecemeal counterattacks, the monsters near Kaiji Island were gradually defeated. Not only did they suffer heavy losses, but their attacks on the frontal defense line became increasingly weak.

Seeing the opportunity, Niyu immediately made up his mind and began to formulate a plan to raid the main force of monsters.

The main force of the monsters is located on an island called Suwolji Pond in the northeast corner of Kaiji Island.

This island is quite large, and there are also large underground ruins on the island. It is roughly estimated that there are at least thousands of monsters hidden there. If this group of enemies can be defeated, the remaining monsters won't be able to make any big waves.

Ground combat doesn't present much of a problem.

Although there is no strength advantage, with Niwa's high-end combat power at his command, and the navy's ability to block the entire island and launch attacks from any location, it is not a problem to defeat some stragglers who are not led by the Golden King Beast.

The biggest trouble is the underground ruins battle.

The terrain of the ruins is complex and cannot accommodate a large number of troops. It can only be cleared with a small force, which is quite dangerous.

In the end, Niwa decided to take action personally and led an elite team deep into the underground ruins to complete the final cleanup work.

After the plan was decided, Coral Gongya suddenly interjected: "General, please allow me to go with you to the battle in the underground ruins."

"Oh? Why?" Niyu asked with a smile.

"The map of the ruins is preserved in the Coral Palace. I am the person who knows the terrain best. With me as your guide, the battle will be much easier." Coral Palace Ya said sincerely.

Niyu stared at her silently for a long time, and finally nodded in agreement.

A few days later, the coalition forces, which had completed their preparations, launched the attack.

As Niyu expected, the monsters on the ground were vulnerable and quickly fled in all directions. But according to statistics from various ministries, there were only about three thousand monsters killed and defeated on the ground, which showed that at least half of the monsters were entrenched in the underground ruins.

"Sir General, thousands of monsters are entrenched underground. This is too dangerous! Why don't we seal the entrance to this ruins and trap them underground..." Mitsuyo suggested.

Niwa shook his head decisively, "From the perspective of a military general, your suggestion is correct. However, this island is an important supply point for the fishermen of Haiji Island. If it cannot be cleaned up, the people's livelihood of Haiji Island will be affected. No need to say more Even though there are thousands of monsters, they still can’t stop me.”

Mitsuyo had no choice but to persuade again: "Then please allow me to come with you..."

"No, you must stay and lead the army, and at the same time guard the area we have cleared. The terrain of the underground ruins is too complex, and I need a capable general to guard the back road."

Niwa decisively rejected her proposal, and then looked at Coral Miyagi with a smile, "It's enough to have Miss Miko, the living goddess, at your side!"
