The sound of killing shook the sky, the war drums were excited, the battle that happened in this mountain forest did not last long, but the battle was extremely fierce, both sides were red-eyed, even if the inferior side was surrounded, still shouted and fought to the death, until the soldiers on the periphery were killed one by one, killing blood all over the ground, human heads rolling, corpses and mountains of blood, and finally stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Check the wounds, see if there are any injuries, carry the wounded soldiers to the back, meet the enemy who is not dead, give a knife, be careful not to put yourself in it!"

The young general with a silver spear didn't bother to wipe the blood on his face that had been splashed in the battle, and with the gun in his hand, he patrolled around the pile of dead people, and dealt with a few enemies who were not completely dead, most of them were seriously wounded and died, and sooner or later, it was better to give them a good time than to wait for them to dry up their blood and die of thirst in the sun on the beach.

The soldiers began to separate the corpses of the enemy from their side, collecting the scattered knives, guns, shields and other weapons, a soldier on a black horse quickly ran into the distance, he was the first scout sent out after the army landed, and the entire army is currently waiting for his information, even if the army will march inland later, but without his intelligence, the army's movement will still be greatly restricted.

"General, this is something that was found from the enemy's commander!"

A personal soldier handed a blood-stained letter to the young general, the young general frowned and opened it and glanced at it, the text on it was really incomprehensible, I don't know what it was written, but this letter was written in silky cloth, it can be seen that this person's identity should not be low, but why did he only bring five hundred people?

"Cousin, the enemy army has been completely annihilated by our army, and no one has escaped, but I don't know if the enemy army has been prepared for a long time, so the army does not dare to act rashly at present."

Another fleet landed, and from the building ship led by the ship came down a rather dignified middle-aged general, his age was close to thirty years old, a pair of eyes were very threatening, a casual glance, it made people have a feeling of having to surrender, this is the eyes of the superior.

"That's the only enemy coming?"

He swept the battlefield and found that the corpses of the enemy army were not very large, and the scale of the battlefield was not large, so he had some doubts in his heart.

"This matter is indeed strange, if the enemy army is not prepared in advance, why can he lead the army to fight us at the first moment of our landing, but if the other side is prepared, then why only send 500 men? These 500 people sent here can only stuff our teeth, to be honest, their will to fight is not bad, but this weapon equipment is really poor, basically no one has armor, and the weapons in their hands are all this kind of sword! ”

He picked up two swords from the battlefield and handed them to the main general, who had just come off the building boat and picked up the sword and looked at it, his brows furrowed.

Because the two weapons in his hand are very strange, say it's weird, where is it weird?

One of the swords is made of bronze, obviously the pen steel sword is a lot heavier, for generals like them, it doesn't matter, it's not that you can't dance, but for a soldier, the bronze weapon is obviously a lot of effort, and the hardness of the bronze sword is not enough, when you encounter the steel sword, it is slashed, there is a gap, and the stronger one is directly split, not nothing, there are a lot of swords on the battlefield have been cut off.

As for the other weapon, this weapon is even more weird, this is an iron sword, originally everyone's sword is an iron sword, a steel sword has, but it is not so much, but this iron sword seems to be pig iron, this kind of thing is brittle and hard, it is easy to break when fighting with people on the battlefield, it is easier to break than a bronze sword, and this sword is rusty, this person seems to have not maintained his weapon for a long time.

"Luo Cheng, you quickly lead 50 million, occupy Zuokouling, the enemy's main city is east of Zuokouling, if the other party has any precautions, then your army must keep the safety of Zuokouling, I will then send troops to arrive, if the enemy is defenseless, your army can attack it, or wait for the cavalry to form and follow the cavalry General Zuo to attack together."

Luo Cheng took a step forward and responded loudly: "Luo Cheng has an order!" ”

With a wave of his cloak, he turned and got on his white horse, and went to order his troops at a gallop.

This army was none other than Qin Qiong's Sui army on Jeju Island, and at this time they were not on Jeju Island, nor in Baekje or Silla, but they came to the Wa Kingdom, located in a position called Zuodingkou on the southern island of Kyushu, and they had just taken the outer Goriku Islands before, and at this time Luo Shixin was reorganizing his army behind.

It stands to reason that among the three of them, every time they send troops, there should be one person who leads the troops to be stationed at home, last time it was Luo Cheng, this time it should be Luo Shixin, but Baekje and Silla jointly sent troops to attack Goguryeo at this time, and the battle on the Korean Peninsula is in full swing, no one should be interested in their place, after all, they are not soft persimmons, and Kyushu Island is not too far from Jeju Island, if Baekje has any changes, as long as they return in time to help, Jeju Island will not have any problems, As for the Wa Kingdom that they were going to crusade, because they didn't know the strength of the other party, they sent almost all their elites this time.

The reason why Qin Qiong wanted to attack the Wa Kingdom was not for money or land, but for the population, although the Sui Dynasty was not a slave country, slaves were still common at that time, like the subordinates of the major wealthy families, a large part of them signed a deed of sale, and it was a lifelong deed of sale, the treatment of these people is slightly better, and those dancers and musicians who live in Qinglou and restaurant are basically no different from slaves, as long as there is a deed of sale, these people are even killed by the master's family, That's not a crime, you just need to go to the government and explain what happened and why, and you'll be fine.

And after every foreign war, there will be a large number of people from enemy countries will become slaves, the situation of these people is the most miserable, the slaves of the country have no identity and no status in all dynasties, and even the dignity of being a human being is gone, the Tang Dynasty is like this, the Song Dynasty is also like this, and the Sui Dynasty is no exception.

Qin Qiong needs slaves, he needs labor, these slaves can be woven into the army, form a deputy soldier, he is ready to form a heavy cavalry, and the reason why the heavy cavalry is called heavy cavalry is because their armor is full body iron armor, and the mounts are also fully armed, in this way, wearing these armors is a troublesome thing, and these armors cannot be worn all the time, so not only people are uncomfortable, but even the war horses can't bear it, so an ironclad heavy cavalry needs one or two deputy soldiers, These lieutenants are the slaves of these heavy cavalry, on the battlefield, they are responsible for helping the heavy cavalry to carry their armor, when they get to the area of battle they have to help the heavy cavalry put on the armor, and when the war is over, they also have to help the heavy cavalry remove the armor and treat the wounds, and they themselves are also cavalry, but they are light cavalry, they are responsible for covering the two wings of the heavy cavalry, on the battlefield, if the heavy cavalry dies, then his lieutenant will have to bear the price, and the highest punishment is to be executed.

This system did not appear on a large scale in the Sui Dynasty, because the heavy cavalry was too expensive, and ordinary people could not afford to maintain it, Cao Cao's tiger and leopard cavalry during the Three Kingdoms period did not know whether it was heavy cavalry, if it was heavy cavalry, the number should not be as much as recorded in the Three Kingdoms, in the Three Kingdoms, although Chen Shou did not directly say the number of tiger and leopard horses, but according to his description, the estimated number should be about five or six thousand, and five or six thousand heavy cavalry, at least more than 10,000 deputy soldiers, In this way, just to maintain five or six thousand heavy cavalry to maintain close to 20,000 horses, close to the scale of more than 20,000 people, this possibility is not too big, cavalry is a very expensive type of troops, the Han Dynasty was only 100,000 cavalry when it was strong, and the national strength has weakened a lot in the Three Kingdoms period, as a separatist force, Cao Cao is impossible to have so many cavalry, let alone so many heavy cavalry.

Qin Qiong's current ability to form a heavy cavalry force of up to 1,000 people, no matter how many people there are, he can get a large amount of iron ore in the triangular trade, which can be used to smelt and make his own heavy armor, but the current number of troops under his command is limited, and the population on the island is not large, and if he wants to expand the army, he actually has no potential from his own internal point of view, so at this time he will focus on the outside.

In fact, there is Liu Zhi's shadow in this matter, when chatting with Qin Qiong before, Liu Zhi once mentioned the Japanese country in the east, the population of the Japanese country is quite large, but the national strength is not strong, the reason is that their economy is poor, the army can not support it, the army is very far from the Sui army in terms of weapons and equipment and tactical literacy, and the Japanese army is mainly concentrated on the main island of Japan, they are island countries, and the shipbuilding industry should be very developed, but because the level of science and technology is too low, they can't build big ships, only some small boats, The result of small boats is that they can't carry too many people and not too many weapons and equipment, and these small boats are very unstable, and they are prone to accidents at sea and will suffer in storms.

And the opponent he chose was Kyushu Island, which was actually not the most densely populated place in the Japanese country, but the strength of the Japanese army here was quite good, and there were relatively rich resources here, including grain, iron ore and so on.

Qin Qiong turned over his horse and began to patrol on the beach, the soldiers were slowly pulling the war horses off the warship, these war horses had spent a relatively torturous time at sea, and they were all a little frightened at this time, so the formation of the cavalry is estimated to take a certain amount of time.

The soldiers were loading and unloading various supplies, and some were still strapping the assembled vehicles on their horses, which were mostly carrying heavy weapons, including bed crossbows, trebuchet parts, thunderbolts, and so on.

The whole beach is busy, with more and more boats approaching the beach, and it is still the time of low tide, so the fleet has no scruples about landing on the beach, and after the midnight high tide, they can float and not run aground forever.

Qin Qiong brought 20,000 troops over this time, after the victory in the first battle, the morale of the soldiers was obviously greatly improved, at this time, shouting the number to lead batches of things loaded with various materials from the ship, and the tools they used were the slopes and pulleys that Liu Zhi gave them before, of course, these things are not difficult to learn, and the reason is easy to understand.

What does it mean that the Wa Kingdom sent 500 people over? Qin Qiong was still speculating about the previous incident, although this army was completely annihilated by Luo Cheng, but his heart did not feel at ease because of this, but felt a little uneasy, I don't know if his whereabouts on his side were really leaked, or if it was just a coincidence.

Of course, this is just a coincidence, the leader of the Wa Kingdom passing by here is actually a general of the Wa State, he is preparing to go to sea, the geographical location of this area is relatively good, it is a relatively gentle beach, he chose to get on the boat here, ready to go to Tsushima, Tsushima Island is not completely the territory of the Wa State at this time, but there are already Wa troops stationed on the island, and the Tsushima State that has continued from the Han Dynasty to the present day can only be regarded as a small country, among which the Silla people are eyeing him, so the Wa State attaches great importance to Tsushima Island, and has formed an alliance with Baekje, which was used to protect Tsushima and contain Silla.

The troops stationed on Tsushima are considered to be stationed abroad, and they have to be rotated every once in a while, and this time it is the turn of the Kyushu Island to send troops, and this army of 500 people is going to send troops to the Japanese army on Tsushima.

In order to gather these 500 men, the elite soldiers of the Japanese generals on Kyushu Island were gathered, 500 of them were selected, and then the best weapons and equipment were given to them, so that they could work hard to become an army that seemed to be able to fight, so that when they arrived on Tsushima Island, they would be able to deter the Baekje people who coveted Tsushima Island.

This is why when Luo Cheng was engaged in battle with this army before, he said that the other party was an army with a strong will to fight, because after all, the other party was an elite selected from tens of thousands of people.

However, he said that the other party's weapons and equipment are too poor, which is really a bit faceless, the equipment of these 500 people is the best equipment of the Japanese country, if their equipment is poor, then the weapons and equipment of other Japanese troops are no different from burning sticks.

At this time, Luo Cheng's army has taken Zuokouling, the location of this place is indeed somewhat important, but there is no Japanese army stationed here at all, and the main city that Qin Qiong said before, Luo Cheng looked at it several times to confirm that he was not mistaken, this city is really too simple! Is this really the main city? How do you feel that the walls are adobe, and the height is less than a zhang high?

Why don't you give it a try?

The next moment, five thousand murderous Sui soldiers rushed out with a shout and slaughtered the city in the distance! (To be continued.) )
