In the midst of the drumming, small boats were lowered from the big ships, and a large number of pirates quickly descended from the climbing nets on the side of the ship like dumplings, and fell into the small boats.

A small four-oared boat can carry twenty or thirty people on this kind of near-shore seashore, and two small boats are generally hung on both sides of the large ship, and as long as they go back and forth two or three times, a group of thieves who want to go ashore to fight in a big battle will be transported.

It was a spectacle, with more than 200 large ships scattered on the sea, countless four- or eight-oared boats leaping like schools of fish on the sea, and the pirates were skillful in carrying their wounds, and the speed of getting on and off the big boats was very fast, and after getting on the small boats, everyone rowed the small boats together, and the whole ship rushed forward like flying.

There are dozens of small pirate ships, simply let the boats tow, along the tide all the way forward, to the shore is still half a person deep, the group of thieves on the ship jumped off one after another, they did not have the time and patience to go to the trestle docking, simply put down the ship's manpower, and after all the pirates on the ship were launched, these big ships slowly retreated, but almost remained in the same place near the shore, they kept some people on board, fiddling with the ship's catapults or heavy crossbows, their crossbow making skills should have been learned from the heavenly people, It is not on the same level as Da Wei's bed crossbow, although it is a heavy crossbow that can only be pulled by a few people, and the effective firing distance is only two or three hundred steps, but the battlefield is far from the seaside, and the pirates are placed here, and the effective firing range of the catapults on the ship will not exceed one mile, and these ships are at most to cover the defeated pirates to escape back to the ship, no one will believe in this result, so these people's movements are slow, just looking at the spectacular landing scene in front of them.

After a while or so, there were already thousands of bandits who had already landed, which was quite fast.

These people have been plundering at sea all the year round, not to mention driving a small boat to land, that is, ramming ships, and jumping gangs have done a lot of hand-to-hand combat, they are extremely agile, although they are not in a military battle formation, but their personal martial arts and skills are quite good. Nor can those who are thieves at sea, who are thin, courageous, and not strong, survive this group.

At this time, the sun was rising high, the weather was unusually clear, the sea and sky were bright blue, and the white flower balls of green and cotton in the distance were clearly visible.

Liu Dan looked at it, the group of thieves on the shore had gathered under the banners of their respective leaders, those flags were messy, all kinds of colors, the group of thieves was also in chaos, the group of thieves who first went ashore and the Qizhou thieves who were in the front were still hundreds of steps away, and the rest of the thieves gradually converged after getting off the boat, and they were still not in an array.

But this is not a big problem, what Liu Dan saw was that the morale of the thieves was high, they held high the banners in their hands, stood under the banners of their respective leaders, and then talked and laughed loudly, waving all kinds of weapons in their hands from time to time. These men are powerful, fierce, and ferocious, and every pirate has a human life in his hands, which is a matter of necessity, and it is impossible for a good man to remain in such a ranks. They were eager to fight, to plunder, to drink the blood of their enemies with their weapons, to plunder their riches, and to get the women of the island.

These people, only liquor and women and gambling can calm them down, and if anyone can look at it, you can see that the black ash is rising from the heads of the groups of pirates, this is the smell of killing and plundering, they have been at sea for a long time, and they can't wait.

"Brother Yan should pay attention to keeping some strong men, kill all the strong men, our subordinates will not pick cotton."

After making a joke, Liu Dan was also ready to get off the boat and land. His headquarters of soldiers and horses are on several large ships, about 2,000 people, stationed on the island of Cebu in Luzon all the year round, often trained, and the art of military battle formations has been quite proficient. More than 2,000 people are Liu Dan's real family background, and some of the leaders of the group of thieves were brought out by him, and they were also banned, but after all, they are outside, only more than 2,000 people, who have been in battle formations for a long time, have been trained all year round, can set up formations under the military flag, and also wear all kinds of armor, they are Liu Dan's henchmen and real family background.

Liu Dan's mood is not bad, he landed smoothly, more than half of this battle has been won, although the government army is strong, but it can be seen that the armor and equipment are not as good as the Great Wei Forbidden Army, and it is estimated that it is just the imposed version of the Great Wei Xiang Army.

Yan Qi had such a violent temperament, and he smiled when he heard it, and said: "Then leave a few thousand strong, and it's not too late to kill after picking cotton." ”

After saying that, Liu Dan got off the boat with a smile, Yan Qi was not in a hurry, his cooperation with Liu Dan was that Liu Dan went to the big formation first, gathered the army, and once he fought, Yan Qi led the troops as the forward.

After half an hour, Liu Dan finally led more than 2,000 soldiers to go ashore in a small boat, all his subordinates were armoured, all kinds of armor shone in the sun near noon, his subordinates armor had the style of the Wei army, there were also Japanese armor, there were also Luzon, Siamese armor, all kinds, almost all of them were iron armor, and the soldiers were all armed with spears and long knives, all of them were mainly long weapons, Liu Dan was surrounded by dozens of guards with giant axes, and the whole body was fine iron armor, guarding Liu Dan to the Chinese army.

After Liu Dan's beach god banner was erected, the morale of the pirates was greatly boosted, and they all screamed strangely, and after a while, the cry turned into a whistling sound, like a violent storm, and the sound surrounded, it is estimated that even the people and men a few miles away are quite real on the defense line, and they should hear the sound and change color.

At this time, a group of thieves came ashore one after another, and at about two o'clock in the afternoon, the first to come to the water in the drinking bag, they went ashore for a long time, and were roasted by the sun for more than two hours, and their bodies were drenched in sweat, but fortunately they came out of the tropics, and they were not afraid of the heat, and they brought some dry food with them when they went ashore, and now they ate dry food with water, and many people squatted or sat down, so as to recover their strength.

Liu Dan ordered the arrivals to spread out from both sides, fully stretching the queue, and the entire battlefield of several miles was gradually filled with bandits.

So far, there have been about 26,700 thieves ashore, Liu Dan looked back, and saw the silver light flashing on the sea, and he knew that Yan Qi had also come up.

Yan Qi stood at the head of the boat, his body was carefully polished and pierced, like silver armor tied to his body, and his body was really silver.

This is the habit of learning from the heavenly people. The Celestial and the Tessy were at war, the Tessie were dominated by the knightly system in the early years, and fighting was the business of the nobles and knights, and the civilians did not need to go to war, at most they took care of the war horses and helped with logistics, and even the knights' attachés were apprentice young knights. By the time the British used commoners as longbowmen, the pure chivalric system was somewhat difficult, and then in the Renaissance, with the advent of muskets, the chivalric system gradually died out.

Before the demise of the knighthood, the Tessians wore chain mail or full-body plate armor, because of the small number of troops and fine, almost every knight had a family heirloom heavy plate armor or chain mail, they were tall and strong, and fought back and forth in the war with the Celestial people, but when the Tessy people were revived, this kind of knight was gradually eliminated, and the Celestial people were gradually no longer opponents.

After all, the battle after the battle is not good for the Celestials, and its desert cavalry is fierce and brave, not under the Cossacks, but it is not its forte.

Because they had to ride lightly to chase and kill, the Celestials rarely wore heavy armor, and they were better at creating and using armor than chain mail and plate armor.

Most of the armor of Yan Qi's department is also available in the north and south of the world, and the pirates themselves do not produce iron armor, so they do not have this ability, most of them are looted and purchased from various countries, and the iron armor is a heavy weapon of the military state in this era, and it is not easy to obtain.

And more than 300 people on a number of small boats in front of them, all wearing silver armor, wearing iron helmets, armguards and heart guards, etc., a full set of iron armor weighs forty or fifty pounds, every pirate is carefully sitting in the hull, their water is good can float on the sea for several days, they are starved to death and thirsty but will not be drowned, they have grown up on the beach since childhood, swimming, diving, are good at making the tide, but they are now wearing dozens of pounds of iron armor, in case they accidentally fall into the water, they will sink to the bottom of the sea in an instant, and it is too late to save them. It was too unjust to die.

The boat floated up and down, the water near the shore was relatively stable, and everyone rowed very fast, but in about a quarter of an hour, Yan Qi and his three hundred armor-clad subordinates all went to the shore.

Everyone has been on the boat for a long time, and they were actually a little dizzy after going ashore, and Yan Qi himself was also sitting down slowly in place at the moment, and after drinking a few sips of water, he stood up after calming down.

Yan Qi's subordinates also got up with him, these people are all about thirty years old, at least more than ten years at sea, each of them has multiple lives in their hands of murderous thugs, not only that, but they are all relatively tall and strong, powerful and powerful, dozens of pounds of armor can still jump up and fight, they are experienced in the battlefield, full of courage, Yan Qi leads the soldiers to like the essence is not much, like the same cruel and murderous thugs as him, these people are agile, quick reaction, if they fight with ordinary people with knives, more than ten people are not necessarily their opponents, In addition, the whole body is covered with strong armor, the hand is either a heavenly sword, or a heavenly scimitar, and the other hand is holding a shield, and when encountering the enemy, they will rush to kill in formation.

At this time, Liu Dan came to greet him, Yan Qi and he didn't say much, and said: "Two moments later, Brother Liu ordered people to beat drums in the Chinese army, and placed flags to spread the two wings forward, and the main formation of the Chinese army slowly moved forward. ”

This is the tactics that the two of them have always cooperated, although Yan Qi is cruel and violent, he is not a fool, and he is categorically unwilling to lead his subordinates in the lead.

Liu Dan's subordinates are the first formation, and when they fight, Yan Qi finds the weak point for the camera, and leads the elite subordinates to attack, once it succeeds, the chance to win will be in hand.

The two of them crisscrossed the sea, in fact, it was rare for the two of them to work together, let alone fight with such a huge military array and elite soldiers.

Unless it is to destroy the country in Nanyang, with the strength of the two of them, it is still insufficient to fight with the regular army of at least tens of thousands of people in various countries, that is, Pu Xingfeng, with the support of Manchu Jia, fought with the countries of the Three Buddhas Qi Lanfang, and has won many victories, but has not been able to win a complete victory so far.

Liu Dan nodded in agreement, pointed ahead again, and said, "Look at the Nan'an Mansion army, they are also lined up." ”

Liu Dan was a little worried, and said: "I have never seen them line up so fast. ”

Yan Qi could only then look at the east, more than two miles away, in a slightly higher place, that is, in front of the avenue that spanned the north and south, many military flags as high as several zhang stood high, and five or six thousand soldiers had already finished the formation under the flag.

Looking at the array of the government army, there are few people in the front, and the more people go back, the more they are, the front is thin and the back is thick, it is a big triangle shape.

Yan Qi was taken aback when he saw it, and said, "Are the Nan'an Mansion troops crazy, they want to attack us?" ”

"Looks like it!" Liu Dan sneered, pointed to the left hand side, and said: "There is also a large open space over there, and I saw smoke and dust rising up just now, not like the traces of people raising it, so I sent someone to sentry and said that there were cavalry, but there were not many of them, only five or six hundred horsemen." ”

"Then don't be afraid of him." Yan Qi said a word, but continued: "However, we don't have cavalry in the Nanyang realm, and the power of hundreds of cavalry is not small. ”

"It's good to defeat the frontal army." Liu Dan said: "They are going crazy to attack us, so it's just right." ”

Based on what Liu Dan saw, the government army assembled so quickly that he had never seen it in his life.

It seems that as soon as the flag is erected, a large number of soldiers appear out of sight, dusty, gray-robed soldiers are holding long swords, horizontal swords, and shields, and they are simply marching with the banner at trotting speed, almost less than two quarters of an hour, no, or even shorter, just more than 20,000 pirates more than two miles away, suddenly a large triangular military formation appeared.

Of course, these government troops are not far away, but from the march to the formation, the speed of the formation, the speed of the formation, and the neatness of the army, it is really amazing for Liu Dan.

The pirates don't know how powerful they are, but they see that the number of soldiers on the opposite side is not large, and there are not many iron armor, but their morale is slightly high, after all, they lick the blood with their knives, no matter how much they kill, they also want to kill people and don't want to be killed by others, and when they see that the other party's strength is not strong, their morale is high.

And Liu Dan felt lucky, such a military formation, if it cooperates with the people and the strong, long base, tens of thousands of pirates don't know how much to pay to take it down, and although the group of thieves is bound by strict military law, it is not a mass of scattered sand, but it is not a regular soldier who can carry out the attack and attack the battle, if the government army really responds to the enemy like this, this battle may be protracted, and the group of thieves have to disperse to obtain supplies to confront the enemy for a long time.

Fortunately, I don't know what the reason is, such a strong enemy somehow put on such a sharp formation, not a defensive formation, Liu Dan is not long in the military battle formation, but it is not even the array that can't be understood.

Yan Qi also had the same opinion, seeing that the other side despised his side so much, his fierce aura was aroused, but at this time, he didn't care about saying more, Yan Qi just pulled out the scimitar he was wearing at his waist, nodded, and strode forward.

Behind Yan Qi, there were more than 300 armored infantry with silver light, these infantry were all empty-faced, looking at everything, as fierce and brutal as their masters, these more than 300 people followed Yan Qi and the belly snake banner closely, and went forward together.

Liu Dan returned to the middle military position, and saw Yan Qi's team swimming like a snake in the pirate array, his heart was somehow a little panicked, similar situations, such a big battle Liu Dan has also experienced many times, but there has never been a situation like this in front of him, he tried his best to concentrate, thought carefully for a while, and finally had a vague answer.

No matter which army of any country, there has never been such a situation in front of us.

Marched in silence, without even the sound of drums, lined up in silence, answered the flag in silence, and then set up a large formation in silence, waiting for the moment of attack.

The silent and depressing atmosphere, those skillful movements, those banners that were unfurled, and the silent people behind the soldiers, Ding Zhuang, all gave people an unreal sense of oppression.

It seems that there is an army of people who are not living people coming out of the ground, so it is no wonder that it gives people such a strong sense of oppression.

"You have to see the truth under the sword and gun." Liu Dan ordered his subordinates to go to the left with more than 2,000 elites, half of these subordinates were used to prepare to break the formation with Yan Qi, and half were with more than 10,000 pirates to resist on the left, where they would have to deal with the cavalry that might suddenly rush over.

The pirates had hardly ever experienced a cavalry engagement, and the left flank was thick, and the right flank was much thinner.

Seeing that Yan Qi was about to come to the front, Liu Dan tilted his head and signaled that people would beat the drum.

There are dozens of big drums behind the battle, all of which are brought down from large ships, and the Nanyang countries have no tradition of beating drums to march into the army, which is naturally an experience learned from the Wei people.

At this time, the army on the opposite side, which had been silent, suddenly erupted into a roar like a landslide and tsunami.

The loudness of this voice was shocking, and Liu Dan puffed out his eyes even more, not knowing what was going on.

The Nan'an army was still silent, and at this time, these soldiers seemed to be using all their strength, desperately roaring and screaming.
