Chapter 579: Landing in Dongying

readx;

A little sail shadow appeared on the blue sea, and Fujiwara Kunzaburo shouted excitedly: "It's coming, it's coming, it's the sail of the Song Dynasty, I can see it very clearly!" Prepare the drums immediately, and push all the carts, a whole 500 ships, now we have enough ability to fight the war in Goryeo! ”

Before the smile on his face fell, he saw a light in Prince Sonhito's eyes, staring at him, and the look was very unkind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The generals and daimyo next to the info also looked at him with a strange look, and Fujiwara Kunzaburo realized that he had lost his temper and that these words should not be said by himself.

He hurriedly stopped jumping, and walked to Prince Zunren's side very respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, the fleet of the Song people is here, what to do next, please instruct Your Highness." ”

Prince Zunren, secretly cursed in his heart, you have said everything that should be said, do you want me to repeat it? At that moment, he waved his hand: "Just do what Fujiwara-kun wants." ”

The boats, slowly approaching, looked around, the fronts of the approaching ships were full of wooden boxes, judging from the depth of the draft, these wooden boxes should be solid, and they should be full of goods.

However, if you walk up to you, you will find that many of the wooden boxes are empty, and some of them are just thin boards blocking the view from the front. Behind the plank, there were Song Dynasty soldiers who had already put on their armor, picked up their hook and sickle guns, and were ready to charge!

Especially the nearest big ship, Gao Yingxi hid behind the wooden plank with his team, and whispered: "Check the equipment!" ”

Unlike the other brothers, who were all promoted to commanders, or all commanded envoys, Gao Yingxi was still the head of the capital, but his brothers were recognized as the most capable troops in the entire Song army, and they were directly under Di Qing's command.

This time, they will be the first to set their feet on the land of Dongying as a striker.

After the sound of metal clashing, the hundred soldiers completed the last step before the battle, and stayed quietly on the deck, their eyes fixed on Gao Yingxi.

Gao Yingxi nodded and said softly: "Remember, when the boat docks and the sampan is set up, rush down in the order in which we have practiced, the sword and shield hands in front should be faster, and the ones in the back are not allowed to push." Between the dozens, all of our people are going to disembark! If a comrade in front is shot, the person behind is responsible for kicking away the body, is it clear? ”

"Clear!"

The answer was small, but uniform.

Gao Yingxi didn't say anything more, and raised his hand: "Ready!" ”

Seeing that the fleet of the Song Dynasty was getting closer and closer, the boxes placed on the deck tempted the eyes of every Dongying person below.

The first ship had slowly come to a halt on the shore, and a dozen sailors carried the four sampans over and shouted, "Stop!" ”

Then the sails were lowered, the anchor was thrown into the water, and the hull of the ship shook and came to a halt on the surface, and the sailor took the sampan and stretched it down.

The Dongying people did not wait for their prince to give orders, and a few people ran over quickly, caught the sampan stretched down from the Song Dynasty ship, fixed it on the ground, and then made a gesture to the sailors above, indicating that it was safe.

Both Kunzaburo Fujiwara and Prince Takahito had smiles on their faces, imagining that after this batch of supplies arrived, Toei's biggest predicament would be immediately eliminated.

"Fujiwara-kun, do you know who led this group of Song Dynasty merchants? I think we should treat them well. ”

Fujiwara Kunzaburo said: "His Royal Highness said yes, but I don't know who they are, it doesn't matter, I'll ask when they come down later." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the sailors on the ship shout: "Get off the ship!" ”

Everything is the same as the procedure for merchant ships to do business, Fujiwara Kunzaburo smiled: "Your Royal Highness, the captain of their first ship should be the first to come down, I will go to pay a visit, and after inquiring clearly, I will report to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Prince Zunhito thought about it, if he went now, it would obviously be a loss of dignity for the Toei Imperial Family, and just when he wanted to say that he would let Fujiwara Kunzaburo go, he suddenly heard a dense sound of locusts flying overhead.

Before he could react, a general next to him was a figure begging for life on the edge of a knife, and he felt that the sun on his head seemed to dim for a moment, and he was suddenly shocked in his heart: "It's not good!" Retreat, retreat! ”

He dragged Prince Zunren and ran behind, and before Prince Zunren knew what was happening, he heard a miserable cry coming from behind him.

Many of the people who were preparing to carry their goods were covered in crossbow arrows and fell in pools of blood. Some were still moaning, some were no longer breathing.

The targets of this round of strikes are mainly the Dongying people at medium and long distances, some of these Dongying people are soldiers, some are civilians, and some are idlers watching the excitement. Of course, there were also some daimyo and generals.

The crossbow arrow doesn't recognize people, it will never stay away because you are a general or a civilian, it only flies according to its own line, and if you stand on its flight line, it will pierce your body.

The people who were close to Dongying suddenly reacted at this time, but with the sound of "get off the boat", all the Song Dynasty ships that docked on the shore pushed the camouflaged boxes in front of them, and those heavily armed Song Dynasty soldiers revealed their true colors.

Gao Yingxi's team was the first to rush down, and a Dongying man wanted to come over and cut off the sampan, so that Song Jun could not at least get off the boat so smoothly, and a sword and shield hand swung out with a knife and wiped it at the neck of the Dongying man.

The knives used now are specially developed by Zeng Gongliang, with a slight curvature, about one meter long and three inches wide.

The advantages of this knife are that it is light, fast, it does not take much effort to swing it in the hand at all, and the blade is particularly sharp. It also has significant drawbacks, not enough toughness and not long enough. If it collides with some hard weapons, it will break off in more than ten strokes.

Today's technology can't create the kind of knife that is both thin and tough, so you can only make a trade-off between toughness and weight. Zeng Gongliang finally gave up tenacity, which was a decision based on the results of feedback from the soldiers on the front line.

Because the Song army fought in groups, it relied on military formations. Once the military formation is broken by the other party, when the sword and shield hand wants to swing the knife and fight hand-to-hand, there is generally no chance of a dozen consecutive collisions, and life and death may be between four or five knives.

Not to mention the length, the opponent rushes in front of the shield hand, one meter is enough, and more is a waste.

The sword and shield man obviously knew the characteristics of the weapon in his hand, so this knife was aimed at the neck of the Dongying man, not slashed at it.

The blade is narrow and fast. After cutting through the flesh on the guy's neck, the blood didn't come out for a while, and after the guy's mouth moved twice, a long bloodshot oozed from the neck. He reached out in vain to press the wound on his neck, but the blood flowed more and more, pouring out like a spring from between his hands.

The Dongying man fell to the ground, his legs kicking and kicking, and he couldn't make any sound. This kind of death is far more painful than cutting off the head, and the slow flow of blood, and the pain caused by the blood tearing the neck, is unbearable for a person.

He couldn't scream because his throat had been severed.

Have you ever seen a chicken killed? That's it.

The sword and shield man ignored him, and his opponent was not dead, but he would never be able to stand up. The sword and shield hand raised his shield, he was not afraid in the face of the four or five enemies rushing towards him, he used his shield to protect his body, and rushed forward violently, resisting the two knives that the Dongying people were slashing over.

And what about the weapons next to it? If you can block it, if you can't stop it, believe in your teammates behind you.

It's safer to rush up than to go back, because if you do, your teammates behind you will have plenty of space to help you. If you go backwards, you'll block those who are going to come up to your aid.

That's all in that booklet. He is a veteran, and veterans like him regard that booklet as a magic weapon to save their lives, and people like them go to the booklet when they are fine, although they have memorized it, but he still reads it over and over again, in order to be able to let their subconscious mind do what is said in this booklet at a critical time.

Sure enough, the weapon cut from the left was blocked by a long knife, and before the weapon of the Dongying man on the right reached him, a hook and sickle pierced the Dongying man's heart, piercing him to the ground!

Gao Yingxi also rushed down, after slashing and killing an enemy, he saw that there were not many Dongying people around, and they were all in a panic, the crossbow arrows fired from the ship made these panicked enemies neither retreat nor get support, such a good opportunity, he naturally would not let go.

"Array! Kill! ”

More than thirty shields erected a shield wall and slowly advanced from the shore. The pikeman hid behind the shield wall, sticking his gun out of the hole between the shields, and kept making assassination motions without looking at anyone or not.

Someone, stab out, pull back. No one, the same stab out, pull back.

Their steps were in unison, and their shields showed no panic as they advanced. Some brave warriors wanted to rush over and fight them, but before they could cut their weapons on their shields, they were pierced by the spears of the Song army.

Except for one person who watched the road, the other Song troops were just looking forward behind the shield and controlling their steps. From time to time, some Dongying people lay on the ground to block them, and those sword and shield hands didn't look at whether they were alive or dead, revealing their figures, and making up for them first.

At the end were twenty crossbowmen, who walked at the end with bows and crossbows, holding their crossbow arrows in their hands at any time, and their fingers were on the trigger, and whenever they saw someone trying to kill them, they immediately shot them with their crossbow arrows.

When fighting against the Koreans, the bravery of the Dongying people played a great role, and generally more than 100 Dongying warriors were able to drive those battle-hardened Goryeo generals in Wang Hui's mouth like lost dogs.

But now fighting against the Song army, in front of the collective strength of the Song army, their personal bravery has no chance to play at all.

More and more teams got off the boat, and the position on the beachhead was gradually consolidated, Li Yi stood next to Di Qing, scratching his head: "Big brother, I haven't made a move yet, these Dongying people have all run away!" I think Chen Shimei miscalculated this time, a force like Dongying, 10,000 of us is enough to deal with them. ”

Di Qing smiled: "How could he be wrong?" Chen Shimei is killing chickens with a knife, what he wants is speed. Besides, the Dongying people didn't react this time, they were not prepared at all, and the future battle may not be easy to fight. ”

Li Yi was still not convinced, because Dongyingren's performance this time was too disappointing for him, and he still insisted that as long as he gave himself 10,000 people, he would be able to pacify Dongying immediately.

But since Di Qing said that Chen Shimei was not wrong, then he was right. Li Yi turned his head and asked, "Big brother, what are we going to do next?" ”

Di Qing looked at him: "Don't you want 10,000 people?" Okay, I'll give you 10,000. ”

Li Yi was overjoyed when he heard this, and when he was about to clench his fists and receive his life, Di Qing changed his words: "I will give you 10,000 people to be stationed here, your task is to ensure that this area is under our control, and our supply fleet will come in two days, you must ensure the safety of the supply." ”

Li Yi was obviously reluctant, but looking at Di Qing's eyes, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and muttered, "Why don't you let Liu Ping's people stay here?" Our own brothers, you still let me live. ”

Di Qing patted him on the shoulder: "It's because we are our own brothers that I kept you." There is no need to worry about military merits, there will be them in the future. I'm not worried about the people in front of me now, I'm worried about what is behind us. Do you know that Chen Shimei is ready to fight a war of attrition with the Dongying people on the sea. This shows that he has no confidence in whether he can annihilate the fleet of the Dongying people at sea. If it doesn't go well, if those Dongying come over, our way back will be in your hands. ”

Having said that, Li Yi is unwilling and willing.
