Datang: Get Xiang Yu's divine power at the beginning

Chapter 286
Li Chengdao concluded that these people were the commanders of the Japanese pirates, so he called on these people and removed them first.

These more than 20 people were those who were good at long-distance shooting in Jinyiwei. After listening to the order, they stood on the pavilion, and according to Li Chengdao's description, they specifically picked out those who looked like the leaders of the Japanese pirates.

The Jinyiwei Fanzi had strong bows and sharp arrows in their hands, and their cold arrows were both accurate and ruthless. Those Japanese pirate leaders who were waving flags or fans were yelling and directing their men to charge. On the ground, he couldn't stand up.

Everyone in the pavilion originally believed in magic. Just now, there was a hail of arrows from the officers and soldiers of the guard station, and the scene of the Japanese pirates being invulnerable was still vivid in their minds. Everyone was already frightened, but now they discovered that the Japanese pirates were also made of flesh and blood and could be attacked. Only then did he let out a sigh of relief.

Li Chengdao also thought the same at this time, he didn't believe that there was any invulnerability spell, he just thought that the opponent might be wearing armor, if that was the case, I'm afraid this battle would be difficult to fight.

Now seeing that his subordinates shot all the arrows, and the arrows killed them, he was even more determined, but Li Chengdao was still very strange, why the arrows fired by the officers and soldiers of the guards could not hurt these Japanese pirates at all?It's just that the situation is urgent at this time, and Li Chengdao can't think about it anymore.

To put it bluntly, in fact, these Japanese pirates are indeed composed of Japanese and lawless gangsters along the coast of the Tang Dynasty. The leaders are the Japanese samurai Igarashi and a pirate leader of the Tang Dynasty called Zhang Dong.

This group of people originally only engaged in smuggling business, buying goods from unscrupulous merchants in the Tang Dynasty and selling them to Luzon, Japan and other places to make huge profits.

But in their spare time, such as spring and autumn, they turned into pirates and plundered along the coast.

In the past year, the domestic war disputes in Japan have intensified. Those daimyos and generals urgently need a lot of houses and gold and silver to consolidate their rule over the territory, so many daimyos ordered their subordinates to act as smugglers and pirates. Igarashi's business made their lives more and more difficult, so the two groups simply joined together to strengthen their strength.

They were short of funds and couldn't afford good warships. Most of these people's ships were sawn into squares from large logs. They didn't use nails when connecting them, but only iron sheets. They didn't have hemp tendons or tung oil to seal them, so they used straw. Come to jam.

This kind of ship can't resist naval warships at all. With just a slight collision, their ships will fall apart. There is no advantage in naval battles, so they can only use the geographical characteristics of the long coastline of Datang to wander around and take advantage of the fire. .

And this time, it was the first big deal after the two groups formed a partnership. They originally wanted to use the cover of the tide to land unexpectedly and plunder, but as soon as the ship docked, they found a large number of officers and soldiers waiting for them. .

Igarashi and Zhang Dong were also secretly surprised. Could it be that someone leaked the news of today's robbery?The two were astonished, but they didn't dare to move forward. When the battle started, the two leaned back to watch the situation, and even though they saw the officers and soldiers of the guard station crumbled, they didn't dare to put all their strength into the battle, for fear of being ambushed by the officers and soldiers.

Igarashi and Zhang Dong stood on the bow of the boat, set up a pergola and looked into the distance. They saw that there were not too many officers and soldiers on the beach, and their clothes seemed to be different from those of the guards.

Especially a group of soldiers in soapy clothes and small caps in front of them, less than a hundred of them, with plain knives in their hands, but all of them are brave and good at fighting. The usual formation of harassment in groups of three or five is useless at all, and what is even more frightening is that the triangular
The soldiers inside the shape drew out short guns to fire from time to time. This kind of thing is not something that ordinary guard officers and soldiers can equip.

The Japanese pirates’ weapons are bows and crossbows in addition to long knives, and occasionally black guns and other firearms, but those things cannot be raised by such small-scale pirates. The sea is humid, and it is not easy to maintain bows and arrows. And the lethality is limited, and the production cost of good arrows is too high, so there are not many equipped.

But the long swords of these Japanese pirates are very powerful. The Japanese swords they are used to can reach a height of about 1.4 meters, which can almost catch up with their height. The handle is very long, you can hold the knife with both hands.

The single-handed sword in the Tang army is only suitable for one-handed, no matter in terms of strength, speed and length, it is far from it, and except for officers and generals, the single-handed sword of officers and soldiers is not covered with steel. The outcome can be imagined.

However, Igarashi and Zhang Dong were unlucky today, and met Li Chengdao. These characters were all carefully selected by Qinglong. No matter in terms of weapons and skills, they are not comparable to ordinary soldiers. of.

All these fans use are all-steel long-handled plain knives with a length of 1.3 meters, which are not imported into Japanese pirates at all, and Qinglong is a master of knives. Many of these men have been instructed by him, and the skills are natural. Not to mention.

Under the command of Qinglong, these fans did not care about the provocations of the Japanese pirates at all, but kept in mind their duty to protect Li Chengdao. The eighty fans relied on each other and never separated. The formation of sharp arrows formed was even more impeccable. Brush the ground, when you lift it, you lift it at the same time, and when you fall it, it falls at the same time.

The whole knife array is walking on the beach in front of the tide viewing pavilion.Like a meat grinder, it rampages among the Japanese pirates, and the Japanese pirates will die if they touch it, and they will die if they touch it.

There were also some Japanese pirates with long knives, who wanted to use their length to overcome their weaknesses, but before they could get close, the insiders had already pulled out their short guns, and a single shot silenced him and returned to his hometown.

These fanzis wandered around for a while, then alternated inside and outside. The inner fanzi put away their knives and changed their guns, reloading ammunition while recovering their physical strength, and this cycle went on and on. As a result, the Japanese pirates who lacked bows and arrows are now completely in a passive state of being beaten. , Even the pirates who were licking blood on the edge of the knife and fearing death all had the idea of ​​retreating for a while.

Even more frightening are the twenty snipers beside Li Chengdao. They are condescending, choosing their targets calmly, and when they are sure, they raise their hands and shoot an arrow.

The Japanese pirates killed by cold arrows not only had a powerful deterrent effect on other Japanese pirates, but also made them lose the backbone of marching and retreating instantly. A group of pirates have gradually gathered and retreated.

The most serious thing about pirates is suspicion. Not only Igarashi is suspicious at the moment, but even Zhang Dong, a native pirate, is also secretly suspicious, unable to figure out the origin of these officers and soldiers in front of him.

Igarashi saw that the sword and arrow array was very powerful, and the cold arrows from the opposite side were even more difficult to guard against. He waved his hand and ordered his men to bring a hard bow, nocked an arrow on the string, and aimed at the man on the tide watching pavilion. A handsome man who wanted to shoot him.
