1275. First encounter
In a short time, dozens of "pirate ships" led by Kong Zhu were only about two miles away from the island in front of them.
On the mast of the main ship, there were soldiers in regular clothes standing, shaking the flag in their hands vigorously.
Dozens of pirate ships, which were originally vast and scattered, suddenly became orderly in this short period of time. They were divided into columns and outflanked the island.
This is naturally a tactic.
The bamboo sat on the main boat, still swaying the paper fan.
With 5,000 troops coming over, he was confident enough to take down the island regardless of whether there were pirates on the island in front of him.
In these days, pirate groups with thousands of people are definitely rare.
With the territory of the island in front of it, it doesn't look like there are thousands of pirates.
And their arrival broke the "tranquility" on the island.
Someone on the beach saw the ships at sea, frightened, and hurriedly ran towards the depths of the island. The mouth whined and screamed.
The rest of the people were busy running closer to take a look.
They all had long knives at their waists, and they were obviously not ordinary people.
There are even women among them.
He was disheveled, and his face was flushed. Looking at that bewitching appearance, I'm afraid it's not just in a corner......
Soon, the beach on the island was crowded with people.
Hundreds of people hurried to the seashore with all kinds of knives and weapons.
But looking at the ships on the sea that were getting closer and closer to the island, all of them were pale.
They're only a few hundred, when have they'd ever seen a battle like this?
The leader was quite short, but his face was fierce. Looking at the ships at sea, his eyes rolled slightly.
They are indeed pirates, and they can also be said to be ronins.
In this era, these people were spurned in Japan. But now the situation is a little different.
The shogunate that ruled Japan didn't know what it was cramping for, but it actually sent envoys to recruit these pirates along their coast, and let them harm those Song fleets.
These pirates had never been asked for by the shogunate, and they had the advantage of both ends, so they hurriedly agreed.
The short leader's eyes didn't stop, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.
It was only after a while that he said a few words to the pirate house next to him.
"Hey!"
Then he saw the pirate nod heavily, and ran towards the depths of the island with dozens of men.
The remaining hundreds of pirates are still standing on the seashore in a state of confusion.
Looking at so many large and small ships, it was really difficult for them to raise the courage to resist in their hearts.
What bushido, in the eyes of these pirates they are.
If they really pay attention to righteousness, bravery, benevolence, courtesy, sincerity, reputation, loyalty, etc., then they would have been swallowed up long ago.
On this sea, I want to live a nourishing life. Everyone believes in the word "ruthless".
And, of course, being aware of current affairs.
The pirate ships led by Sotake got closer and closer to the island, completely surrounding the entire island. The dozens of people who had gone deep into the island finally returned.
They went empty-handed, and when they returned, they carried boxes. Even, at the back, there were a dozen women whose wrists were tied with ropes.
Looking at these women's tattered clothes, it is obvious that they have suffered humiliation on the island.
It was supposed to be a bright kimono, but now you can't see the color of that time.
Offering treasures and women was a way for these pirates overseas to protect themselves when they encountered a strong enemy. Here, yes and common things.
After more than ten minutes, more than a dozen pirate ships broke down in the sea in front of these hundreds of pirates.
All the boats were left behind, and the empty bamboo followed the soldiers to get off the big boat and board the small boat.
The pirates on the beach were a little quiet, but they forced a smile on their faces. Bullying the weak and fearing the hard is the way they act.
But they probably didn't know that they were not facing the same pirates they had dealt with before.
As Kongzhu and the others got closer to the coast with their soldiers, they could even see their faces and clothes clearly. Many of the Japanese pirates on the beach changed color slightly, full of doubts.
The costumes of the Great Song Dynasty are still quite different from those of Japan.
Immediately afterward, there was a whoop in the pirate house.
They may not know whether it is the Song people or the Yuan people who came, but they came with such fanfare, and anyone could realize that the people who came were not good.
The pirate leader also changed color, and then pulled out his sword with a sonorous sound.
It's just funny, with his height, holding this katana, it's really a bit of a little hairy kid playing with a big knife.
The pirates were nervous, drawing their bows or drawing their swords. Only some people quietly shrank back.
Kongzhu stood on the boat with a cold face, looking at these pirates on the beach, and there was a slight disdain in his eyes.
"Kill!"
Then he just spat out the word coldly.
The soldiers of the Earth Evil Army on hundreds of small boats instantly shouted loudly.
One by one, the soldiers drew their sabers from their waists.
The paddle-wielding soldier plucked the oars vigorously.
Hundreds of small boats shot like sharp arrows on the island.
This made the Japanese pirates on the beach even more flustered and nervous.
I don't know who it was, but I was distracted by fear in my heart, and the arrow in my hand was not steady. With a whistling sound, it shot towards the sea.
Arrows, shot missed.
But the fight started there.
The soldiers of the Earth Demon Army saw that these Japanese pirates dared to release arrows, and they shouted to kill the sky.
In this era, communication was inconvenient, in fact, the soldiers and people of every country were quite confident.
The Japanese shogunate thought that its national strength was strong, and it was a toss that dared to provoke the Great Song Dynasty, and it was an assassination, and it was a toss to let pirates scourge the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty.
How could the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty not be like this?
Except for the Yuan Dynasty, which almost destroyed the Great Song Dynasty, it is still considered to have some strength, a country such as Japan, in the hearts of the soldiers of the Disha Army, is just a country outside the domain.
To put it mildly, that's barbarianism.
At this moment, the soldiers of the Earth Demon Army on the small boat looked at these Japanese pirates as if they were looking at an evenly matched opponent, and they were clearly looking at a lamb waiting to be fed.
The soldiers' eyes almost lit up.
An old soldier shouted: "This is all goddamn golden military exploits, Lao Tzu has to get a few heads this time." ”
"Shoot the arrows!"
In the midst of the boiling and shouting, some generals raised their voices.
In hundreds of small boats, each soldier drew a bow with an arrow.
Whoosh.
There were pirates screaming on the beach.
The rigorously trained Earth Demon Army is far from being comparable to them.
And this kind of gore also stimulates the hidden ferocity of the soldiers of the Earth Demon Army.
They seem to have returned to the old days of burning, killing and looting.
Amid the roaring and shouting, hundreds of small boats quickly approached the beach.
Hundreds of soldiers jumped into the water and ran towards the beach.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
Shouts of killing came and went.
But they are quite disciplined in their journey.
Men with shields fended off the arrows in front, and soldiers in the back rushed forward under the cover of these robes.
Behind them, the archers kept drawing their bows and shooting arrows.
Although they didn't use the Divine Dragon Gun, this kind of offensive still made those Japanese pirates completely confused.
But where have they ever seen such a well-trained "pirate"?
After all, they are just a rabble, and in the past, they fought and killed indiscriminately with courage alone. Now, there are undoubtedly some six gods who have no master.
I don't know how many people are shouting in Ula Ula.
But around him, there were people who fell to the ground one after another.
When the soldiers of the Earth Devil Army came close to them, it was like a tiger entering a flock.
One by one, Japanese pirates were slaughtered to the ground.
In less than ten minutes, these Japanese pirates were scattered.
Kuzhu didn't even get off the boat, but stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the Japanese pirates so unbeaten, he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.
If those Japanese pirates were so unbeaten, it would be too boring.
The emperor asked him to come to actual combat training, if it is such an opponent, I am afraid that it will not be effective.
Mo said that compared with the Great Song Forbidden Army, these Japanese pirates were too far behind those pirates of the Northern Ring Island led by Liu Ximad in the past.
Without his order, the soldiers of the Earth Demon Army spontaneously pursued the scattered Japanese pirates.
Messy footprints on the beach.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the battle quietly ended.
On the beach, apart from the soldiers of the Earth Evil Army, only those large and small chests remained, and the dozen or so Japanese women who were tied up.
