Chapter 216: Guanyin Temple (Part II)
When Matsuda Sehei saw countless small boats docked by the river, the black pirates jumped off the boat like dumplings in the next pot, and couldn't wait to move forward from the knee-high river water, densely packed like ants ashore, and the dozen or so flags he had planted on the river bank were soon submerged by the tide of thieves, and even seemed to arouse the anger of the pirates, they tore the flags under their feet, brandished the knives, bamboo spears, and long sticks in their hands and roared, as if a group of beasts were completely enraged.
Matsuda's face became ugly.
There were two or three thousand of these outlaws, and they never imagined that the pirates would gather so many to act together, and in the past, there were dozens of bandits, and they fought very fiercely with each other.
"Master Ban, let's go quickly!" Matsuda Shiping looked helplessly at Lu Ning beside him.
The two of them were on a mound, only a few hundred steps away from where the pirates had landed.
Matsuda Sehei also did not expect that when the sentry issued a warning that the pirates were attacking, "Ban-sama" was enthusiastic and pulled him to watch the battle, which made his original plan to flee when the situation was not good.
Looking at the pirates who landed on the shore, Lu Ning smiled, "A group of rabble, Shiping, if you say that two or three thousand thieves of homeless people can also make you helpless and make you afraid, you are a little so-so." ”
The word "homeless" is what "Ban Daren" calls these pirates, Matsuda Shihei can understand what it means, but he is just helpless in his heart, these pirates, I am afraid that they have killed people, they are a rabble, and they rush up in the field, how can they resist the enemy?
I'm afraid that the ashigaru who followed him from Mino Castle has already weakened their legs now.
Seeing that the tide of black pressure pirates was about to flood into the Guanyin Courtyard, and there were scattered pirates, as if they had noticed the figures of a few of their own people on the mound, and rushed over here.
Matsuda Shiping was even more anxious: "Master Ban, let's go quickly!" ”
At this moment, there was a sudden muffled sound of "bang bang" in the distance, and the flanks of the pirates who were surging forward like a tide were immediately chaotic, as if the flanks were much thinner with a bang, and a ravine slowly emitted puffs of white smoke.
"What's going on?" Matsuda asked in surprise.
And the pirate team that was running towards the Tugang side also immediately retreated.
Lu Ning stared at it, after all, every musket light horse was precious, and if necessary, he naturally had to rush down to help them.
Below, there was a sudden shout, but it was the pirates who regrouped under the shouts of a few small leaders and rushed towards the ravine.
"Bang Bang"
Another puff of white smoke floated up, and the pirates immediately retreated in a panic, leaving behind the wounded and twenty or thirty corpses crying for their fathers and mothers.
Lu Ning smiled, if he repeated it like this, he would be able to give the musket team time to reload every time.
And two rounds of musket salvos, only a hundred soldiers, can shoot twenty or thirty people, wound a dozen, more than a bow and crossbow lethality.
The pirates seemed to be afraid, and slowly retreated, Lu Ning also stared, staring at the strong man who had just landed in the distance and was obviously half a head taller than the others, wearing big armor and several flags behind him, as if he was singing on the stage in later generations, but now, the samurai leader, sometimes it is so exaggerated.
Even during the Warring States Period, the heralds on the battlefield carried thick red cloth balls on their backs in order to stand out, which was ten times more exaggerated than this strong man.
All in order to let the soldiers on the battlefield see them, boost morale, and work the same way as the commanders of the Central Plains.
And this strong man samurai must be the so-called pirate general Taro Uesaka.
Uesaka Taro shouted, and immediately, the pirates split into several roads and ran towards the ravine, forming a surrounding momentum.
In the ravine, there was an immediate whistle, and suddenly more than 100 cavalrymen rushed out, bent their bows and arrows, and swished out.
These light bows and followers of Yu Linlang were already good at riding and shooting, and at this time, the horses rushed out, the arrows fell like rain, and the pirates immediately became a mess. Fun reading little books
In this field, the pirates, who did not have any armor, were slaughtered almost one-sidedly in the face of the archers.
Chasing is not able to catch up with others, gathering together, and becoming a live target for archers.
After a few rounds of arrow rain, the pirates at the front immediately collapsed and fled in all directions.
Matsuda Shihei was dumbfounded, although Dongying also has a saying about riding and shooting, but nowadays, riding and shooting are almost separate, and it is also a skill that can only be practiced by top aristocratic samurai, Matsuda Shihei has never seen it.
Lu Ning's eyes kept on the singing-like armored giant.
But when he saw Uesaka Taro, he roared angrily, strode in the direction of the shooting, and scattered and fled from him, regardless of his subordinates.
The archers, scattered in three teams, hunted down the pirates fleeing from the fields.
And Taro Uesaka's roar like a beast can be transmitted far away to the mound.
And he was walking like a fly, and he was getting closer and closer to a group of archers.
Lu Ning frowned, touched the longbow on his back, and was about to move.
But when he heard Uesaka Taro's earth-shattering roar, Matsuda Shihei was dizzy and his face changed color.
Lu Ning stopped the pace that he was about to run, because he could see clearly, when several arrows were fired at Taro Uesaka, and his injuries seemed to inspire the wild to run faster, an arrow suddenly hit him in the face.
After the roar, Uesaka Taro was like King Kong, suddenly fell down on his back to the sky, and with a bang, he brought up a cloud of dust.
The pirates, immediately receded like a tide, ran to the river, rushed to the boat, you pushed me, but it was not as easy to wade as getting off the boat, many fell into the water and stood uncertainly, and were swept into the river.
Matsuda Shihei looked at this scene in surprise, and his mouth couldn't close anymore.
Lu Ning looked at Taro Uesaka, who was still twitching in the distance, and knew that he was not going to die for a while, but even the divine doctor couldn't save him.
Although, this guy, if he has an opportunity, must not be a simple character, he may be the kind of person who will turn into a dragon when he encounters a storm.
In this great change, he is likely to have the opportunity to become a famous figure.
But Fang Cai himself was going down to shoot him.
It's not that I'm interested in seeing strange people here.,On the contrary.,In fact, the Kanto Imperial Commander.、Guanzhong Governor.,And the city lords and famous lords of those buffer zones.,It's not a person with great talent.,If there really are characters like Nobunaga、Hideyoshi.,It's a troublesome thing.。
Several horses galloped past Taro Uesaka, swishing a few arrows into his face and throat as he lay down.
Naturally, he saw that he was a man and gave him a good time.
Lu Ning bowed slightly, he was going to go down and do it himself.
"Shiping, these water thieves, I'm afraid that they will come out of the nest, and you will have to do it when you catch a few live mouths, ask about the islands of their lair, and rescue the poor people who have been captive." Lu Ning turned his head to look at Matsuda Shiping.
"Yes, yes, Master Ban, after making a decision, I must erect a monument in this Xida Temple, remember Lord Ban and others, prepare for the people of the front for me, and exterminate the exploits of the pirates." Matsuda Shihei, the tone almost became Lu Ning's subordinate.
Lu Ning smiled and turned his head to look at the battlefield.
