Zhang Qing looked back and saw Hong Junshi standing behind him smiling.Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "I'll go down later. Shall we land now?" Jun Hong set up a tent to look far away, and returned: "Let's see how the situation is. Let's find out the details first, and try not to damage the army. It is estimated that we will go down today. It will be able to berth into the port in half an hour."

Zhang Qing backed up to the hatch, but didn't go down, just stretched his neck to watch, his breathing was tight, and his heart was so nervous that it almost stopped beating.Hong Junshi turned around and smiled, "Don't be afraid, I won't be able to reach you anyway." Zhang Qing nodded without saying a word.

Of course, such a large-scale military aggression cannot be kept secret, and the enemy army has naturally made preparations long ago.The sentry boat sailed back like a swordfish in the water, and white lines were drawn behind the boat.Another hundred decoy boats were dispatched here earlier, and before the sentry boats had returned to the fleet, they rushed out. The sailors on board were all wearing rattan armor, holding wolf-whip shields, long forks, and big knives, and went forward. Fight with the enemy.Those islanders with mixed clothes and weapons were the advance army hired by the lord, and they were also very fierce, with swords intersecting and chaos.

It's a pity that the intention to lure the enemy's boat is not to fight but to lure. When the enemy steps on the boat, he will open the news.Zhang Qing watched from a distance, those people screamed like dumplings, fell into the water one after another, and were stabbed to death by the soldiers on the boat with long forks.Suddenly, the sea was full of screams and wails.In the midst of a scuffle, dozens of boats flew in from afar, but they were no longer fishing boats but warships.The soldiers on the boat had bright armor, shiny knives and guns, their faces could not be seen clearly, and they all had half-moon hair shaved. There were probably hundreds of them, shouting loudly and rushing forward.It was the first time Zhang Qing saw the army of the island country, and he also admired in his heart, it was really elite.

Here, the enemy ship was lured back to the first ship island. The ladder was put down on the ship, and the soldiers quickly climbed up, but before the ladder could be put away, the enemy army arrived, and they also climbed up one after another. The action was very fast. Our soldiers Swinging down with spears and forks one after another to stop them, many enemy soldiers fell into the sea one after another, but most of them still climbed onto the boat.

A boat island has several acres of land.These enemy soldiers were also very surprised when they came up, and they haven't recovered yet.With the gangway down, there is no way out.A lot of armored men wearing strange materials appeared from nowhere around them, and they were densely packed, and there was no telling how many people there were.The front is covered by dense bamboo branches, and the back seems to be holding shields, knives and guns, so I can't see clearly.Before they had time to think, these fierce sergeants brandished their crescent swords and joined the battle.

For the first time, Qin Shucheng verified the power of the mandarin duck formation in front of a real enemy.Although the crescent moon knife was hard and sharp, it didn't show any power in front of the wolf's whisk and rattan armor, and the short-legged warriors screamed in anxiety.Their iron armor, leather armor and bamboo armor were repeatedly pierced by spears.Bamboo branches or iron whisks even blinded the eyes.Bamboo leaves flew and blood splashed everywhere. After two quarters of an hour, hundreds of enemy soldiers were stabbed to death under the long-pitched iron spears, and none of our troops were injured.

A small victory in the first battle, the morale of the army was greatly boosted.Qin Shucheng immediately went to the main ship, and everyone arranged for the landing.

Seeing that no enemy troops came forward again, after a hasty lunch, thousands of fast boats rushed into the harbor.Master Hong told Zhang Qing that this harbor is called Banyue Bay, and the island is called Banyue Island. It is a deep-water harbor. The land parcel, shaped like a half moon, is named after it, and it can withstand a large part of the sea wind and waves.

Zhang Qing was puzzled, the name was too strange.Only then did I think about it. Looking at the map back then, only the name of Kyoto was familiar to me. I didn’t know other cities, villages, or island waters. Maybe it was different from my previous life.It's meaningless to delve into it, so I stopped asking when I thought about it, and focused on looking far ahead.When the clipper rushed out, he seemed to see Qin Shucheng's shadow, but he disappeared in a flash.

Under the scorching sun, there was no one on the white beach, and a stone wall lay behind the beach in the distance, so long that the edge could hardly be seen.Qin Shucheng led five thousand soldiers to the beach to see that there was no ladder to cross, and the enemy was hiding behind the stone wall.Forcibly crossing the wall will definitely hurt a lot, sneer, you use the stone wall as a barrier, why not me?Send an order to go back to the ship, and order people to go back and tell Lu Shuai to come to the port first, anyway, the enemy dare not cross the stone wall.

The ship island was temporarily disassembled, the big ships entered the port in order, and then began to form water villages in the order arranged in advance.For a whole afternoon, the gates, walls, and small sub-villages were arranged and formed, and then locked with chains again.Immediately, a huge water village took shape, with flags fluttering, and the military might shook the sky.

At this time, it is the moon on Dongshan.The weather in mid-May is already very hot, but at the beach, I don't feel the heat at all. I only feel the sea breeze blowing against my face, which is humid and salty.From Dazhai in the deep water to the boats on the seashore, densely lit up lights, together with the moonlight, it seems like daytime.The sergeants were a little tired after a long voyage without landing, but at this time they were even more nervous to guard against the enemy's night attack.

There was no movement overnight.It turned out that the Yamato Army was also deceived, and originally wanted to send elites to give the invading enemy a blow, but who thought that the entire army of hundreds of elites would be wiped out, so in a hurry, they had to hide behind the pre-built stone wall, and waited for the enemy to overtake them. Another fatal blow to the wall, who knows that they did not climb over the wall but retreated to the Anza Water Village first.He should have caught him off guard while they were setting up camp, but the vanguard army of the Clippers was waiting at the entrance of the village, several times larger than himself.Therefore, the leading general of Yamato was a little confused, so he hesitated for a while, and the result was that he missed the opportunity, and it would not be easy to seize the initiative again.Had to immediately send someone to report to the lord.

This small peninsula belongs to a small lord, with fewer people and fewer soldiers. The total number of troops is less than 2000. A few hundred elites is already a great loss.I originally thought that although the Tianyu army had a large number of people, their combat capabilities were extremely poor, especially the navy in naval battles, so they didn't expect such an end at all.The generals reported back to the lord, and the lord was also helpless. While asking for help from the surrounding lords, he was fully prepared to fight.

The next day was the thirteenth day of May, the wind and waves were still calm, and the Tianyu army began the battle to land on the island.Pile countless sand and soil under the wall, compact it, and then spread wooden boards, you can step on it and cross.As for the enemy's archery blocking when picking soil and burying the wall, there are countless wolf sticks and shields, what else can't be solved?What's more, rattan armor is invulnerable?So the problem with the stone wall was quickly resolved.

Here I have to talk about the issue of gunpowder and crossbows.Gunpowder is already available in this era, but it is still too backward to exert its power at all, so in real battles, cold weapons are still the main ones.Only some flasks, gunpowder bombs and the like are used as auxiliary cold weapons, and the accuracy and lethality still need to be improved.

The iron crossbow, in the narrow and mountainous area of ​​this island, can't play its role on the mainland grassland at all. The expensive production and maintenance costs are also unaffordable for these small slave owners. Even the king of Yamato because of this long-distance The weapon was too much for the gain and didn't hold up, so the Iron Crossbow basically disappeared from the island.Because of this reason and because it is too bulky, it will affect the movement speed of the army, and the Tianyu army did not bring iron crossbows.

Even the horses, the Tianyu Army only brought a small amount, which was used to transport the generals, in order to reduce consumption as much as possible and win the battle quickly.

Thousands of people in the army crossed the stone wall first, and started a bloody battle with more than 1000 people where they were.Yamato soldiers are tenacious people who will never give in.Tens of thousands of land troops from the Tianyu Army crossed the stone wall one after another and joined the battle.Tens of thousands of pairs are less than two thousand, and the mandarin duck formation and rattan armor that are designed to defeat the meniscus steel knife are used, the result can be imagined.The whole army raped the resistance army and rushed into the city.Seeing that something was wrong, the lord was packing up his belongings and wanted to escape, but he was caught and beheaded on the spot, and then the army slaughtered for half a day, and there was no one in the small city anymore.The people in the countryside outside the city also fled without a trace.This small island was completely occupied by the Tianyu Army and used as a base.As for the lord's food, grass, gold and silver, Qin Shucheng naturally transported them back to the big ship as a supply for the army.

That night, the Tianyu Army held a meeting of senior generals. Lu Shuai led the water army to guard the base camp and the small island, and Qin Shucheng led all the other troops to go deep into the inland.

Before leaving, the old military doctor asked Qin Shucheng to bring a large amount of herbal medicines, saying that Zhang Qing gave them to prevent acclimatization, dispelling wind and dampness and detoxification, and told him to put them in the pot and drinking water when cooking.Qin Shucheng accepted it.The other flat porcelain bottle was given to him by Zhang Qing alone, and it contained antidote medicine.The doctor accompanying the army was some sergeant in the army of several apprentices of the old military doctor. Zhang Qing was going, but Qin Shucheng didn't agree, so he had to give him this porcelain bottle, just in case, Qin Shucheng treasured it and put it in his arms.

After occupying the small island, Zhang Qing followed the old military doctor into the city, and all the way along the way were Yamato sergeants who died in battle, with hideous faces, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and their stomachs were broken.Zhang Qing wanted to vomit, but finally vomited, and couldn't eat for two days.It was very hot, and even if lime was sprinkled and buried deeply, the smell would still be very unpleasant.

In the past two days, after deploying the defense line, the remaining thousands of troops are busy collecting all the edible things on the island when they are not on duty. Zhang Qing and the old military doctor stayed in the garrison and led people to carefully walk the surrounding mountains to see if there were any herbs that could be used.There are no local people on the peninsula, but just in case, Zhang Qing never goes out alone.

Three days later, the newly built water village has withstood a severe test.A hurricane is coming, much stronger than the one they encountered at sea, it is simply different.Under dense clouds, the sky was dark and the air was stuffy. Everyone was drenched in water, and it was hard to breathe.All sails were furled, chains and anchors checked, and all descended below to fate.Zhang Qing hid in the cabin, covered with a quilt, still felt the violent tremors under his body, the sound of the wind gradually picked up, first softly, then loudly, and then harshly, it kept ringing in his ears like a siren, as if the wind was blowing when the world was opened. Existence will ring until the destruction of heaven and earth.

When the wind stopped and the waves stopped, people got out of the cabin and went up to the deck. They saw that the ship was fine, only a few masts were broken, and a few clippers that could not be hidden, but the vegetation of the entire island It's so devastated that I can't see it anymore.

Zhang Qing walked among the dilapidated woods, the air was very fresh. He picked some wild vegetables that had the effect of purifying the heart and removing fire, went back, climbed up the deck along the gangway, and went down to the cabin. Hong Junshi and Lu Shuai were watching Battle report, seeing Zhang Qing coming back, he waved quickly, Zhang Qing walked in, Lu Shuai smiled and said: "Your general has a victory report today, it is said that he went to two cities in a row, only one death and ten injuries, all because of the mandarin duck formation and the wolf trap. Thank you, thank you very much." Zhang Qing naturally knew what Qin Shucheng meant by thank you, and curled his lips with a smile.

It turns out that what the mandarin duck formation pays attention to is mobility and flexibility, using more to win less, killing the enemy to the maximum extent, and preserving oneself.Qin Shucheng and the others increased the number of wolves in the mandarin duck formation. The entire formation team looked like a bamboo forest covered by dense bamboo branches, and it was flexible and changeable, which dazzled the enemy. He even missed the aim of the bow and arrow, because he couldn't see the situation behind the bamboo branch clearly.The island army couldn't help but secretly hated that their country was mountainous and rainy, why did they grow so many bamboos?Helping the enemy in vain!The warriors who are hot-tempered go to chop bamboo to vent their anger.

And what gave them a headache was rattan armor, which was invulnerable unless it was burned with fire.But the plan of burning the fire didn't seem to have any effect, because once the rocket entered the mandarin duck formation, it was almost blocked by the bamboo branches. Even if the rocket ignited the rattan armor, the person wearing the armor would take off the armor in an instant, and it would not burn at all.This situation gave the island army an illusion that the Fujika army is not afraid of fire.

Therefore, they also want to equip rattan armor, but this kind of armor cannot be made in a day or two, so the only way is to grab it!

The real battle has not yet begun, Zhang Qing knows.Only by destroying the elite troops of the great lords and King Yamato can we truly win the battle. It is still too early to say the result.I am in the rear, although I am calmer than the front line, but the worrying feeling makes people feel uneasy day and night.

Hong Qiu is leading people to make hand crossbows. The front line consumes a lot of hidden weapons, which greatly increases the survival rate of his own soldiers.The girls had been on the battlefield for a long time, and they were all more calm than Zhang Qing. Zhang Qing was a little embarrassed. He was not as good as a girl by himself, so he pretended not to care in front of others.

It was the end of May, and the weather was getting hotter. It was inconvenient to take a bath on a large ship. Zhang Qing often took a few soldiers to bathe in a stream on a hill by the bank, and asked them to stay outside.It is a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, but it is a pity that I am an invader, as long as I don't die, I will leave this place eventually.

The stream is gurgling, clear and bottomless, with round pebbles in the water, and unknown small fish swimming around.Covered by dense bamboo, it is cool and cool.Zhang Qing immersed his body in the water and took a deep breath, it was so cool.

I was enjoying myself when I suddenly heard a commotion outside the forest, the sound of swords.Zhang Qing was startled, before he put on his clothes, his two soldiers retreated covered in blood, Liu Qing shouted: "Young Master, run!" While breathing, a ragged warrior rushed over , with a fierce face and a sharp scimitar, the soldiers were almost powerless to fight back.The sword came and went, and the two soldiers stumbled and rolled down the mountain.

The more anxious Zhang Qing became, the more flustered he was, he only put on his outer robe, and when he turned his head, he saw the warrior leaping towards him with big strides.
