Chapter 1040: The Brave Era Is Gone Forever

It was not interesting to overturn a few fishing boats on the top of the ship, and it was not until I saw the military ship Li Shimin that I became interested.

Although he was in a wheelchair, Li Shimin still insisted on sitting on the deck and watching the battle with a telescope.

Seeing the warship, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said to Zhang Judao: "Speed up and catch up, and be sure to sink them before they escape to the shore!" ”

Zhang Judao nodded and gave a command to the trumpeter on the top of the chimney.

To Li Shimin's surprise, the fleet did not speed up, but rearranged the formation, changing from a sharp arrow formation to a line-up.

Puffs of smoke rose from the ships, and thigh-thick thunderbolts flew out with the smoke.

It didn't take long for the black shadow of the sea ship in front of the Wa Kingdom to be completely submerged in the flames. It took a few seconds for the sound to arrive.

Li Shimin looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, the thunder arrow shot by the eight-bull crossbow was already an artifact, and now, even if the eight-bull crossbow was not used, the thunder arrow would fly to the place by itself.

The masked commander of the Thunderbolt Division stood up and explained to Li Shimin: "Marshal, this is the new achievement of the Thunderbolt Division the year before last, these thunderbolts don't need to be shot with a crossbow, as long as they are activated after calibrating the direction, they will arrive at the place to be attacked. And now it is not the fuse that burns out to explode, but the violent impact that activates. Therefore, even if it is raining, it will not delay the use, at most, the accuracy of the attack has decreased. ”

The leader of the Thunderbolt Division was still very young when he heard the voice, so it was no wonder that he was wearing a mask. Zhang Zhongqing wore a mask to hide his terrifying appearance, and the follow-up Thunderbolt Commander wore a mask to hide his appearance.

As the leaders of the Thunderbolt Division, no one knows better than them what a vital department the Thunderbolt Division is. Since the day they decided to join the Thunderbolt Division, they have been mentally prepared to dedicate themselves incognito and silently for the rest of their lives. And on some occasions when they have to come forward, they will also wear masks, and even their voices must be disguised.

At this time, it was already close to the land, and the return of the ocean carried the fragments of the Japanese sea ships, and occasionally some large collisions hit the hull of the ironclad ship before it could make a little noise.

There were only a few screams on the wide sea that had not died directly, but they soon shut their mouths, and the wooden poles and crossbow arrows fired from the ship hit their vital points with precision.

Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, and seemed a little sad.

However, this sadness disappeared without a trace when the fleet docked.

This time, the Tang army chose to land in Daeban, and after Silla Baekje occupied half of the land on Honshu Island, the kingdom of the Wa Kingdom was relocated here. As the real rear of the Wa Kingdom, Osaka was not afraid of the beacon fire at all, and even if the land war was eroded, the Imperial Family could choose to go out to sea by boat to occupy the outer islands.

In terms of shipbuilding, although the Wa Kingdom is just as rubbish, it has much more advantages than Silla Baekje.

What's more, there are peninsula lands on both sides of the east and west sides of the big board, and even if someone plans to come by sea, they can only be hugged and strangled in front of these two outstretched arms.

It's just that probably Su Jiro didn't think that Datang would send troops to attack them, nor did he think that Datang would aim here and smash Huanglong.

As for the terrain occupied by the big slabs, even the most timid soldiers did not pay attention to it.

By this time, an army had been gathered on land and a rough fortification had been constructed. In the cloudless weather, the sound of thunder and arrow explosions was too clear.

When he was still a few hundred meters away from the shore, Zhang Judao walked up to Li Shimin and asked, "Your Majesty, have you started the landing operation?" ”

Li Shimin knew that he had a specialization in the art industry, so he never interfered with Zhang Judao's command of the East China Sea Fleet, but only grasped the direction in the overall situation.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers on the shore, Li Shimin nodded: "Let's start landing, strive for a quick victory, I don't want that emperor to escape." ”

Li Shimin never thought of wasting too much time in the Wa Kingdom, so he designated to take down the big board directly, and capture the thief and capture the king first.

Zhang Judao received the order and issued an order for landing operations.

Subsequently, the thunderbolt was the first to land, and the terrifying explosion suddenly exploded in the array of Japanese soldiers. The flat coast suddenly became a hell of potholes.

As the bombing progressed, the fleet began to release small boats, and the marines took small boats and braved the air waves blowing from the shore and successfully landed ashore.

When the Marines gained a foothold, the bombardment of the ships stopped. By this time, there was already a river of blood on the shore. Even if there are lucky people who escaped the bombing, seeing the well-equipped Datang soldiers, they can't arouse the desire to fight.

"Coward!"

Li Erniu's youngest son, Li Li, looked at the fleeing Japanese soldiers and spat on them.

The son of the second dog couldn't help but kick the dead body on the ground with his foot, and said helplessly: "Only smart people choose to escape, look at their armor, it's really pitiful." ”

Li Li also glanced down at the armor of the Japanese soldiers, and snorted contemptuously.

Compared with the well-equipped soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the soldiers of the Japanese State are not even called Huazi. Until now, they are still wearing the armor that Datang eliminated and traded with them. The oldest of these armors can even be traced back to the Great Cause period. Nowadays, the armor of many Japanese soldiers has been embroidered with holes, and the armor leaves are also very messy, and many places are supplemented with bamboo chips.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has a pair of fine armor, as long as they drop a leaf of armor, they can apply for replenishment to the military quartermaster, as for the rusty ones, they don't need to polish them at all, as long as they return to the quartermaster department, and by the way, scold them for forgetting to passivate.

In terms of weapons, the iron knives that the Japanese people are proud of, compared with weapons such as horizontal knives, are not even qualified to chop wood. Not to mention that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are basically equipped with thunder and thunder arrows, and every fifty people are also equipped with the latest thunder cannons researched by the Thunder Division.

Dramatically, the fleeing Japanese soldiers pounced after a while because they had a lot of reinforcements behind them.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who flocked to the army like madmen, Li Li sighed and picked up the thunder cannon....

Looking at the Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground after a burst of explosions and a burst of killing, Li Shimin sighed and put down his binoculars.

"Now the gunpowder weapon is the decisive force, and those guys can end the battle with the gunpowder weapon in their hands. The reason why it was put away later and changed to white-knuckle warfare was that even these soldiers felt that unilateral slaughter was not interesting at all. ”

Not only Li Shimin lamented, but Cheng Yanjin couldn't help but sigh.

Gone are the days when bravery was everything, and in the past, the battle was about the right time, the right place, and the next thing was the supply of equipment, and in the future, equipment alone will occupy the entire length of the war.
