1051 Encirclement Attack

Chapter 1051 – Encirclement Attack

The size of Japan was similar to a medium sized province in China, but it had a really high population density. For that reason, Sanli City was able to build a complete Japanese squadron.

The Fleet Admiral of the Japanese squadron was the famous Kuki Yoshitaka, and its chief generals included famous pirates like Murakami Takeyoshi. Both of them had come into contact during the Warring States Period, and in actual fact, Murakami Takeyoshi lost to Kuki Yoshitaka.

Kuki Yoshitaka was a famous minister under Oda Nobunaga during the Azuchi–Momoyama period, the eighth head of his family. In 1574, he had gained great credit for protecting Oda Nobunaga's forces during the attacks on Ise.

In the second Battle of Kizugawaguchi, Kuki Yoshitaka constructed the iron armored warships, destroying the Mori clan's navy. He was awarded 35 thousand units of land and was given the name of pirate.
