Chapter 570: Defeat the Ping Clan Again

The sailor soldiers were not stupid, they casually took out the shields on their waists and pushed them up at the dense forest of spears. The soldiers of the sailor division were tall and big, and their strength was much greater than that of Dongying, and they immediately pushed the first few rows of Dongying miscellaneous soldiers to stumble. There were even more brave soldiers, jumping into the Dongying miscellaneous army group and slashing and slashing wildly. As soon as the battle began, the soldiers of the Navy Division stirred up the Dongying miscellaneous soldiers.

Especially Lin Qing, who is extremely skilled, the two water splitting thorns shuttle back and forth in the Dongying miscellaneous soldiers, constantly harvesting the lives of the miscellaneous soldiers. Dozens of pro-soldiers also rushed in around him, cooperating with him to slash and kill, and constantly killing in depth. With him taking the lead, those miscellaneous soldiers, including the ashigaru in the back, couldn't stop the rush of the six thousand sailor soldiers at all, and they were smashed to pieces without two sticks of incense. But these Dongying people are also ruthless enough, even if they know that they are not opponents, they still condense and do not disperse, and constantly attack around the soldiers of the Water Division, causing a lot of trouble to the soldiers of the Water Division.

"Baga, I didn't expect these damn Han people to be so strong in foot combat!" Seeing that the miscellaneous soldiers and Ashigaru in front of him were not the opponents of the sailor soldiers, Hirata Ohno scolded bitterly, "Ichiro, let the ronin attack." ”

Receiving the order, the ronins laughed strangely, drew their long knives and threw themselves at the sailor soldiers. They were like a group of nimble horse monkeys, avoiding the Dongying people and pounced on the sailor soldiers. It was also a hand-to-hand battle, and the Dongying knives in their hands were on par with the improved horizontal knives of the soldiers of the Shangshui Division.

These ronins are all low-level samurai, who have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and are not tolerated by various forces for various reasons, and slowly become mercenaries. They are brave and ruthless, and they like to fight to the death the most, and they are indispensable in any war in Dongying. The people who can survive are naturally very powerful, and they are all a bunch of characters who recognize money but don't recognize people. Hirata Ono spent a lot of money to hire this team of 2,000 ronin.

These ronins obviously did not have the high price of the blind Hirata Onohana, and as soon as these ronins rushed into the battle group, they immediately caused great damage to the soldiers of the Marine Division. Their skills are so good, nimble and quirky, ruthless and fast, who are the ordinary sailor soldiers who are their opponents? Often, the sailor soldiers were killed before they could touch them. In a short period of time, the sailors lost several hundred men, while the ronin suffered almost no losses.

"Damn it!" Seeing those ronin's bright knives easily cutting off the heads of his soldiers and laughing wildly, Lin Qing's eyes were about to split, "Array!" "To deal with these ronins who are fighting alone, Lin Qing knows that the best way is to crush them with a formation, he shouted.

After receiving the order, the sailor soldiers quickly approached him, and in a short time they formed a large formation of hundreds of people and ran over the ronin. Other generals at all levels also followed suit, and they all hurriedly gathered the soldiers of the sailor division and formed dozens of large and small formations to kill the ronin.

Now the good days of the ronin are over, they are very good, but they are fighting on their own, and they don't know what real war is. Their tactics are okay to deal with small-scale battles, but fighting against a large corps is simply looking for death. Although it caused thousands of casualties to the sailor, it was limited to that, and was soon beaten by the sailor soldiers and was powerless.

However, like those miscellaneous soldiers and ashigaru, they were unwilling to disperse even if they were not opponents, and stubbornly fought with the sailor soldiers. The battle immediately stalemate, 5,000 soldiers of the Navy Division and more than 6,000 Dongying people were entangled in the col within a radius of several miles, and neither side was willing to take half a step back, which was extremely tragic. However, the balance of victory in the battle slowly tilted to the side of the water division, and in the end it was Liu Archer

The elite sailors under the command are not inferior in foot combat.

"Order the archers to cover the shot!" Seeing that the ronin was not an opponent, Hirata Ono realized that this battle was tricky and ordered to Taira Kiyomori.

knew that his father was going to use those miscellaneous soldiers, ashigaru and ronin as cannon fodder, but Ping Qingsheng didn't have any psychological burden. Those miscellaneous soldiers are just untouchables in the territory of the Taira clan, how many are there, and Ashigaru is the lowest-level samurai, in the hierarchical Dongying society, they are also the least status, Taira Kiyomori is a big name, how can he take them seriously? Not to mention the ronins who were paid for, it is not worth mentioning.

"Shoot!" He drew his long knife and shouted fiercely at the warband.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the three thousand henchmen archers did not hesitate to release the feather arrows in their hands.

"Shoot!"

"Bang!"

"Shoot!"

"Bang!"

……

Ping Qingsheng sincerely killed them all, and shot seven or eight feather arrows in one go.

Lin Qing, who had just killed a ronin, suddenly felt a darkness above his head, and when he looked up, he found that the overwhelming feather arrows were covering his head, and his eyes widened in horror.

"Arrow proof!" He pulled the ronin's corpse over his head and yelled at the other Mariner soldiers.

But it was too late, and before the other sailor soldiers could react, the overwhelming feather arrows covered the entire battle group, and the snow-white feather arrows rained down on everyone, wave after wave, without giving people time to breathe. Regardless of whether they were enemies or me, they were all shot by the feather arrows of the Dongying people, and they screamed for a while, and under the continuous feather arrow blows, no one could stand.

"Brute!" Seeing the Dongying people coming, Liu Jian gritted his teeth angrily, "The archers give me a low and close shot, I want no archers from the Dongying people left!" ”

Seeing that the main general was ruthless, the main general of the archers did not dare to slack off, and led four thousand archers to the battlefield and fired suppressively at the archers of the Dongying people. The sailor had more archers, and the range of bows and arrows was longer, and as soon as he shot, he caused great casualties to the archers of the Dongying people, and the archer master got the death order, and did not dare to slack off, so he divided the four thousand archers into three sections, and continuously shot feathered arrows at the Dongying people.

The Dongying archers had the intention to fight back, but the equipment was too different, so they could only throw down nearly two thousand corpses and then fled back in embarrassment.

"All the troops are attacking!" Seeing that his archers were no longer working, Hirata Daino was afraid that his elite troops would also be hit, so he hurriedly ordered.

Seeing that the armored Dongying warriors were attacking, Liu Jian hurriedly changed the direction of the archers' shooting and blocked their charge. You must know that the soldiers on both sides in the battle group are still being slaughtered, and at this time, if thousands of elite Dongying warriors are allowed to rush in, the sailor will definitely be wiped out.

The equipment of these Toei samurai was much better than that of the miscellaneous soldiers and the ashigaru, but the armor made of bamboo and wood was not enough in front of the powerful compound bow, and the hundreds of samurai who started were shot over in an instant. Those elite samurai also knew that whoever could grab the time now would win, and regardless of the feathered arrows on their heads, they rushed towards the warband.

"Shoot! Shoot them for me! Liu Jian was in a hurry and ordered to the archers, "Brothers, follow me!" "Now only Liu Jian, these generals and their own soldiers have not participated in the battle, and they are the only ones who can stop the Dongying people at this time.

Seeing Liu Jian personally draw his sword and rush forward, the Fire Dragon King did not hesitate, and rushed forward with his other generals and hundreds of personal soldiers. Unlike the cotton armor worn by the sailor soldiers, these generals and soldiers wore hard iron armor. As soon as they rushed into the battle group, they immediately took action to clean up the Dongying soldiers who were lucky enough not to die. Those Dongying soldiers had no power to resist, and they immediately killed hundreds of people, and more than 200 people rushed back and forth on the battlefield to kill, and there was no one who joined forces. While they were killing, they helped their own soldiers, and it didn't take long for all the more than 3,000 sailor soldiers to stand up.

Because of the fear of the archers with a longer range of the sailors, the covering shot just now was not within the range of the Dongying people, and the strength of the bow and arrow was much worse, thanks to the cotton armor on the body, the sailor soldiers only died less than 2,000 people, and more than 3,000 people survived. But the Dongying people were miserable, the miscellaneous soldiers, ashigaru and ronin were not wearing armor, and they were shot by the Dongying people's own bows and arrows, and more than 6,000 people lost nearly 3,000.

After quickly cleaning up the remnants of Dongying around him, under the leadership of Liu Jian and two hundred ironclad infantry, he roared and rushed towards the Dongying warriors who came over. It is a matter of life and death for the homeland, and the Dongying samurai did not show weakness, and the war immediately became white-hot.

The Dongying people saw that Liu Jian was the commander, and countless Dongying warriors rushed towards him desperately. More than 200 ironclad soldiers surrounded Liu Jian and these generals in the middle, like a hard reef to block their impact, one to kill one, and two to kill a pair. No matter how the Dongying people play with their lives, they can't be touched in the slightest. But even if the head on this reef broke the bloodstream, the Dongying people still did not give up, at this moment they were like paranoid madmen, rushing towards Liu Jian with all their hearts.

Finally, the two hundred ironclad infantry who protected Liu Jian also suffered casualties, and dozens of people were killed by them. A gap appeared in the small circle formation, and seeing such a situation, those Dongying warriors roared excitedly, and the impact became even harder.

Seeing that the main general was in danger, the chief archer ordered a thousand archers to stare at the archers of the Dongying people, and with three thousand archers drawing their short knives for self-defense, they also rushed into the battle group.

An hour later, the battle ended in a crushing victory for the sailors. Of the 15,000 Dongying soldiers, more than 13,000 were killed on the spot, except for Hirata Ohno who fled with his own soldiers, almost none of them escaped and surrendered, and all of them fought to the end with the sailors. Of the more than 8,000 sailors who landed, only 2,000 remnants remained, and almost all of the other 6,000 were killed. This result made Liu Jian very distressed. However, these soldiers were definitely not sacrificed in vain, after this battle, the territory south of the Akagi Naval Division was completely occupied by the Akagi Naval Division, and it was extremely difficult for the Toei people to drive the Naval Division into the sea again.

"General Liu, I have already notified the seven thousand brothers on the ship, they are all coming, and this bridgehead has finally been defeated." The Fire Dragon King walked over to Liu Jian, who was bandaging his wounds, and reported.

In the battle just now, Liu Jian became the priority target of the Dongying people, and five or six hundred Dongying warriors were all aimed at him. More than 200 ironclad guards were all killed in battle, and he also suffered five or six wounds, especially a knife that directly pierced his shoulder, which was very serious.

"The Dragon King's arrangement is reasonable, we must set up camp and beware of a sneak attack by the Dongying people." Liu Jian sucked in the cold air and said, "Damn, I feel sorry for Lao Tzu, a whole six thousand people are lost here, and they can't be driven down anymore no matter what." ”
