I am a pirate in Ming Dynasty

"coming!"

Almost as soon as they heard the birdsong, the people hiding in the village knew that the Japanese pirates had arrived.

A kind of trembling from the soul suddenly enveloped everyone in Yangjiabao. Of course, this was not the reaction of the students of Qinyang Academy who were afraid of the enemy.

"His grandma's body is still shaking?"

Liu Tiezhu felt very embarrassed by his reaction, so when his body was trembling, he pinched his thigh meat hard. The nerve endings immediately fed back the pain, and his whole body was agitated, and the restless trembling stopped. down.

Thinking of the group of raw melons and eggs under his hands, Liu Tiezhu glanced around with some worry. Sure enough, every one of them looked like they were facing an enemy, and many of them had their legs and feet shaking.

Suddenly, he seemed to be able to understand why Qin Shang insisted on letting them fight the Japanese pirates.

When he thought of this, he felt a little unsure. When he wanted to find someone to discuss it, he realized that Han Zhou had already gone to the back of Qinyang Academy to guard it.

Former friends, Ma Dawei and Xu Qingfeng are now exploring the enemy's situation on the outskirts of the village.

The reason why people in these villages reacted so quickly is because of the information that Ma Dawei and others conveyed through special bird calls.

The current situation would not allow Liu Tiezhu to mobilize again before the war. All he could do was believe in what he had taught them in recent years.

The equipment standard of the Military Academy was built by the Engineering Academy. Their original weapons should be knives and swords. The sword itself was not suitable for charging, so it was abandoned from the beginning. However, weapons like broadswords are quite bulky and have no certain durability. Strength and speed cannot bring out the effectiveness of a broadsword.

Therefore, the main weapon Qin Shang prepared for the military academy at the beginning was the Tang Dao. As a one-handed sword, the Tang Dao was much more practical than the sword.

In addition to the main weapon, there is also a short blade placed close to the body. The short blade refers to the making methods of some daggers in later generations. It has a double-edged mouth and is slightly thicker in the middle. The handle is wrapped with hemp rope. It is not easy to take off when holding it. It can be used as a dagger for scouts to assassinate, and it can also be used as a hidden weapon in emergencies.

Another standard feature is crossbow arrows. The manufacture of bows and arrows has always been a difficult problem that the engineering college needs to overcome.

Without the support of the state, it is almost impossible to make high-quality and durable bows and arrows. Therefore, the crossbows equipped by the military academy are all made of bamboo, and the bow strings used as supports are even more crude.

Good things like raw cowhide and beef tendon are almost impossible to find. What can be used are almost all crude fiber substitutes, which not only hold the handle, but are also easy to break, so the work of bows and arrows is almost useless in long-distance battles.

To deal with these Japanese pirates, if we directly use hand-to-hand combat, it would be a huge sacrifice for our own side.

"Hold it all, don't draw the bow until the enemy comes in front of you!"

Lowering his voice, Liu Tiezhu conveyed his voice to the people around him. Fortunately, the usual training was not in vain. Even at this time, everyone passed the orders to the people around him in an orderly manner.

Just when everyone was nervous, Qin Shang was wandering around the village as if nothing happened.

Except for Han Zhaoxi and Fatty Gao, none of the people following him knew each other.

The most obvious one is the handsome guy next to him with a bunch of pigtails hanging from his back. He seems to be older than everyone present, he is probably around twenty-five years old. In addition to this, I have never seen the few people beside me. They are men and women, old and young. They don't look like they come from the village.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, Qin Shang did not stay in the village, but led a large number of people to talk and laugh at the entrance of the village.

"Nonsense!" When Liu Xusheng, who was sitting in the rear area, received the news, his whole face turned blood red, and the shock in his eyes was beyond words.

The following report is from the Military Academy, Zhou Li, with unspeakable bitterness on his face.

"You are not clear about what the young master represents, are you? I asked you to look at a young master and everyone is disappointed. What do you do for food? If there is anything wrong with the young master, we will be the sinners of the entire Qinyang Academy. You know Don’t you understand?” Zhang Yun shouted angrily from the side.

Zhou Li stood up straight, his face trembled slightly, and he said stubbornly: "I have lost you, the young master. I will go and find the master now!"

"What's the use of getting it back? Don't you know who those people are outside now?" Zhang Yun said angrily with his eyes widened.

"That's enough. We are facing a formidable enemy and our own people are still noisy. Zhang Yun, you are usually calm. Why are you so rude today?"

After Liu Xusheng snorted twice, he touched his chin, looked at the neatly reproduced sand table map on the table, pointed to the south of the village and said: "The latest traces of the Japanese pirates are in the south, and now the whereabouts of the young master are most likely to appear. It's to the south, and that's the defense area that Liu Tiezhu is responsible for. There are more than 40 military academy students setting up defenses, so you can rest assured."

"As for us, the most important thing now is to do a good job in transmitting information. In the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest, the whereabouts of Japanese pirates may change at any time. Once our headquarters is slow, the lives of our classmates will be in danger. ”

"Instead of worrying about whether something will happen to me soon, it's better to focus all your energy on the battle in front of you!"

After hearing this, Zhang Yun felt that it made sense, and immediately said to Zhou Zhou: "No matter what happens ahead or not, go find the young master, protect him personally, and never leave!"

If Zhang Yun dared to speak like this to Zhou Li in normal times, Zhou Li would never criticize him. We are not in the same system, so why are you talking so much!

But this is wartime, and students from military academies like them will abide by the rules more than students from other academies. Everything is based on the premise of collective interests and does not make decisions based on personal emotional impulses.

To put it bluntly, this is a concrete manifestation of the duty of soldiers to obey orders.

After Zhou Li left, the entire temporary staff suddenly became quiet.

Not far from the east side of the village, a group of ronin who were completely different from Oguri Tune were approaching quickly.

These ronin looked even more impoverished, with almost no good piece of cloth covering their bodies, and the only thing that was noticeable was the shining samurai sword in their hands.
