Chapter 70: Destroying the Withering and Decaying
"Rush, kill all these hateful Song people!"
"Damn Liangshan pig, dare to invade the Wa Kingdom, Amaterasu has accepted your ......"
The general order of the commander of the Japanese army was issued, and more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who had been beaten like chicken blood immediately rushed over like a tide, all with red eyes and fearless of death.
Their ideas are simple and straightforward.
That is, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Liangshan army to stumble and land, he crossed the wooden stakes and deer barricades in front of him, and rushed to the beach to fight with the Liangshan army.
Because no matter how good the water is, no matter how good the sailor, he will have a short period of discomfort when he just jumps from a bumpy sea ship to land.
Moreover, the commander of the Japanese army, Ping Zhengsheng, even found that there were war horses standing on the deck on the big ship behind, but he looked very tired from both the war horses and the knights.
But Ping Zhengsheng could see clearly that these war horses were all tall horses with shoulders about the same height as the Song people.
Once this cavalry has also successfully landed, and has rested on the shore and recovered its strength, it is definitely not an opponent.
Therefore, the best way is not to let them land, even if they have to be subjected to a volley of crossbow arrows from the Liangshan army before they can engage the enemy, but such a price is worth it and must be paid.
"All of them, salvo ready!"
Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout! Shout!
After a loud swan sound, nearly two thousand crossbow arrows roared up, rushing towards the array of Japanese soldiers who were charging frantically, and the entire sky seemed to be darkened by this dense rain of arrows.
Countless crossbow arrows fell, like flying locusts, and rushed into the Japanese army's array, and suddenly a muffled sound of crossbow arrows tearing flesh and blood, or the crisp sound of shooting through the bamboo and iron armor of the Japanese army.
Blood splattered, and countless widows fell in pieces like fallen wheat, and the screams finally rang out in the sky.
However, I have to say that although the Japanese army is not very good in weapons and tactics, it is not inferior to the Jurchen barbarians when it comes to ferociousness and barbarism, and they are not afraid of death.
The blood of their companions and the screams of dying not only did not make them afraid, but on the contrary, they aroused their savage blood more and more, and one by one, they rushed towards the Liangshan army more and more desperately, with hideous faces and momentum like rainbows.
In fact, in the two wars of the Yuan and the Japanese in the original history, it was precisely by relying on this kind of barbaric and brave fighting style that was not afraid of death that the Japanese people achieved the final victory.
During the first landing of the Yuan army, the Japanese army resisted the Yuan army on the shore for a whole day, although they were eventually defeated, and retreated to Mizuki Castle in Dazaifu at dusk.
But because of this, it also made it impossible for the Yuan army to achieve greater results, so they had to withdraw to the ship after dark, and then they were blown over by the typhoon.
The second time the Yuan army conquered the Japanese and landed in Hakata Bay for the second time, the Japanese army built a stone wall on the shore, and relied on the cover of the stone wall to successfully resist the attack of the Yuan army for many days.
Although it was a typhoon in the end, if the Japanese army was defeated in the first few days, and the Yuan army came to the city of Dazaifu and even broke through Dazaifu, then even with the help of the "kamikaze", the Yuan army would still take the initiative.
This time is the same, although Ping Zhengsheng does not know the affairs of the future, he also clearly knows the rise and fall of the imperial kingdom, and he fought here.
As long as the Yangsan army is firmly blocked in front of the beach, it is impossible for the Yangsan army to threaten the Wa Kingdom like the destruction of Goryeo!
He couldn't help but shout loudly: "Da Lang, what are you waiting for, leading the northern warriors to charge!" ”
The eldest man in his mouth is the eldest son of Ping Zhengsheng, who is only twenty years old this year.
The samurai in the north were the armed forces created by Emperor Shirakawa, the true ruler of the current Wa Kingdom, and were samurai who served as guards at the Imperial Palace (located on the north side) and were directly under the orders of Emperor Shirakawa.
It is equivalent to the Yuan Cong Forbidden Army guarding the Xuanwu Gate in the Tang Dynasty and the elite of the Imperial Palace in the Song Dynasty, which is an important military force to support the government of the Yuan Dynasty and the most brave and warlike army in the Wa Kingdom.
The emergence of samurai in the north was also the beginning of the samurai class entering and leaving the imperial court of the Wa Kingdom.
When Ping Zhongsheng heard this, he immediately shouted: "The crossbow arrows of the Liangshan pig are too late to be wound, the invincible northern warriors, kill them all with me!" ”
On the other end, Wang Yin, who was on the flagship of Liangshan, also shouted excitedly: "Good come!" Command all bed crossbows, catapults to fire! Shoot three rounds! ”
The loud horn sounded, the war drums beat, and the flag that Wang Yin used to command the army waved rapidly, and all the battleships in the first row immediately lifted the tarpaulin covering the deck, revealing the bed crossbow and trebuchet below.
At this moment, the lower deck of the first deck faced the shore and the side of the ship, and the windows were also opened, and the bed crossbows had been wound, and the crossbow guns with thick arms were ready to fire, and the sharp tips of the guns were shining a little cold.
"Starboard against the enemy! Aim—"
"Ready-put!"
More than a thousand crossbow spears immediately shot out, flying towards the array of Japanese troops that were surging like a tide with the roar of death.
At the same time, forty-eight catapults located on the first deck also fired a round of thunderbolt fireballs, poisonous smoke fireballs.
What is the concept of a salvo of more than a thousand ballistas?
The strong recoil of even a battleship of 3,000 materials could not help but shake significantly, but all the gunners could not control this.
They didn't even have time to take a look at the situation on the battlefield before they immediately threw themselves into the intense work of winding and reloading.
The bed crossbow, also known as the three-bow bed crossbow or the eight-ox crossbow, means that it takes eight cows to pull the giant crossbow, although this is a bit exaggerated, but the general Song army's bed crossbow also needs thirty people to be opened.
The bed crossbow of Liang Shanjun, after the transformation of Lin Chong and the Engineering Bureau, coupled with the use of new material spring steel, not only became much smaller in size, but also slightly increased in power.
However, it still requires eight people to work together to complete the winding, plus two people who are responsible for aiming and smashing the machine, and a bed crossbow needs ten gunners.
The arrow fired by the bed crossbow is called a crossbow gun, which uses hard wood as the arrow shaft and iron as the feather, which is known as "one gun and three sword arrows", but it also has a name, which is the siege chise.
Because when the three-bow bed crossbow is fired at close range, the crossbow guns can be driven directly into the city wall, and when the salvo is fired, rows of crossbow guns are firmly driven into the city wall, and the siege soldiers can step on these arm-thick crossbow guns to climb up.
From this, one can imagine the power of these siege chiseels.
At this moment, more than 1,000 siege chisels roared and flew towards the Japanese army array, and immediately carved out countless bloody roads in the dense crowd.
Countless Japanese people were skewered together like meat skewers by these siege sieges before they could even react, and they were firmly nailed to the ground of the beach.
In addition, many Japanese people's arms, thighs, and torsos were shot by siege chisels, and the places where they were shot immediately fell apart like papier-mâché, and flesh and blood flew out like fountains of blood.
At the same time, although the forty-eight catapults fired thunderbolt fireballs and poisonous smoke fireballs equipped by the Song army, and the explosion lethality was limited, their power was no worse than that of the gunpowder bullets of the Liangshan army.
But seeing the flames everywhere, the flames soared into the sky, the smoke was filled, the poisonous smoke choked people, accompanied by blood all over the ground, the stumps and corpses, and the wails and screams of the unequaled wounded, which instantly made the entire battlefield as terrifying as Shura's hell.
"Ah~ah~ah~ah~ah~"
Such a tragic scene like Shura's hell, even the most fierce and fearless people of death were frightened to the sky at this time, and the cold air swished up from the soles of their feet, and the whole person was as frightened as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
"God~ Liang Shanjun is not a human, he is a devil!"
"Ahhh
"Help, who's going to save me......"
