Yan Xun and Sun Xiu had a clear division of labor, Sun Xiu was responsible for commanding the ships crossing the sea, while Yan Xun was responsible for directing the landing operation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The most difficult part of the landing operation was that the entire beach was completely open, and the Japanese could hide behind the stone walls and shoot with bows and arrows, and this area was almost unobstructed.

The stone wall of the Japanese people was built on a slightly higher position on the beach, which basically guaranteed that the stone wall would not be submerged by the sea even if the tide was high.

If the Han army chooses the time to attack, it must be at high tide, the landing point at this time is relatively close to the stone wall, if at low tide, the landing point will be pushed back several miles, the soft sand and long distance, undoubtedly make people have a nightmarish feeling.

Therefore, the timing of the landing operation is relatively harsh, and it is necessary to choose the time when the sea tide is high, but the interval between the high tide and the low tide is often only one or two hours, and when the tide is low, those warships must retreat with the tide, otherwise there is a danger of running aground.

Whether or not the Japanese defenses can be broken through and a beachhead can be seized within one or two hours is the key to the success of the landing operation, otherwise when the sea tide recedes and the warships withdraw, the Han troops stranded on the beach will fall into a state of isolation and helplessness.

Therefore, after arriving at Tsushima Island, the convoy did not rush to attack, but sent a reconnaissance boat to conduct an on-the-spot survey of the situation around Tsukushi Island, to understand in detail the changes in the tides, and to formulate a relatively complete attack plan according to the specific situation.

Yan Xun is shrewd and capable, rigorous and meticulous, and has always been strategic, although this kind of sea-crossing and landing operation Yan Xun has never experienced in his life, but after he was ordered, he buried himself in hard work, as much as possible to collect information near Chikushi Island, so as to know himself and his opponent.

As for the attack plan, Yan Xun tried his best to do everything in detail, and even the weapons used by the soldiers had to be seen one by one, ensuring that all the equipment was excellent, and the ratio of troops and arms, and the estimation of the attack time were all accurate and accurate.

In the end, Yan Xun set the time of the attack at the fifth watch in the morning when the sea tide was high, and all the warships headed for Tsukushi Island at this time.

When the sky was light, the Han army marched in unison and approached Tsukushi Island together.

At this time, the sea rose sharply, and the tide reached the stone wall on the beach.

The big ships couldn't get too close, so they still relied on the small ships during the attack. Each small warship could carry thirty or forty infantry in addition to the sailors, and more than eighty small warships could transport two or three thousand men to the attack at a time.

Because of the first contact with the sea-crossing and landing operation, the officers and men of the Han army had an inexplicable sense of excitement, and when they jumped into the water from the warship, they were all alive and vigorous, and the fighting spirit was high, and the entire beach was full of people's voices, and the shouts of killing were deafening.

As soon as the Japanese soldiers hiding behind the stone wall woke up from their sleep, they had already found that the Han army was close at hand, and they were extremely nervous, and they took up their weapons one after another, preparing to resist the attack of the Han army.

The envoys of Yamatai have sent envoys to the Central Plains several times, and after they returned, they made the queen known to the queen one by one about the vast land and the strength of the country, so the Japanese people of Yamatai also knew more about the Central Plains Dynasty.

Although the long-term war has allowed the Japanese to develop the tradition of being fierce and the whole people are soldiers, the crude weapons are undoubtedly their biggest shortcoming. The bows and arrows used by the Japanese people are only the most common primitive bows and arrows, and most of the arrows are not made of iron, but made of bone, which not only has a short range, but also has insufficient lethality, and cannot penetrate the armor of the Han army.

The Japanese only wore ordinary linen clothes, not even iron armor, and the only iron tools were some sword and gun weapons, and this kind of sword and gun weapons were limited by the level of forging, and their sharpness was also greatly reduced.

The current weapons and equipment of the Han army, whether it is swords, guns, swords, halberds, bows, crossbows, firearms, etc., represent the highest level today, even if it is the Roman Imperial army tens of thousands of miles away, it cannot be compared with the Han army.

This war was not destined to be an evenly matched contest from the beginning, even if the Japanese built stone walls, it would be difficult to stop the offensive of the Han army.

The Han army rushed down from the warship, quickly formed several columns, and launched a surprise attack. At the front of the line were the shield soldiers, and those who covered the advance of the shield soldiers were the archers.

When the tide was high, the beach in front of the stone wall was very short, and as soon as he stepped out of the water, he had already entered the range of the archers, and the archers of the Han army immediately fired a volley, and the arrows were like a downpour, clanging on the stone wall.

The Japanese soldiers hid behind the stone wall, and the bows and arrows of the Han army could hardly hurt them, of course, the Han army did not expect to shoot the Japanese soldiers, mainly to play a suppressive role, as long as the Japanese soldiers could not be forced to raise their heads, and they could not easily use bows and arrows to block the offensive of the Han infantry.

However, what makes the Han army feel strange is that even if the suppressive effect of the Han archers is obvious, it is impossible to suppress the Japanese soldiers who can't even shoot an arrow.

However, since the Japanese soldiers could not bear it, the Han army naturally accelerated the pace of attack, and all columns trotted all the way and quickly approached the stone wall.

It was only when the Han army advanced about fifty paces that the Japanese soldiers behind the stone wall shot the first arrow, and then, the sparse arrows shot out from behind the stone wall, and it was difficult for the Japanese soldiers to shoot arrows on a large scale because they were suppressed by the strong bows and crossbows of the Han army.

Most of these scattered arrows were blocked by shields, and only a small part of them hit the Han soldiers, who originally thought that these arrows would bring some casualties to the Han army, but I didn't expect these arrows to even be able to shoot through the armor.

Many Han soldiers picked up those arrows from the ground, and it suddenly dawned on them that these arrows were not made of iron but sharpened with animal bones, and if the Han army was wearing ordinary cloth clothes, these bone arrows might be able to penetrate, but most of the Han soldiers were wearing armor, how could these bone arrows penetrate these iron armor?

Seeing that the Japanese people couldn't hurt themselves at all, the Han army was in great spirits, like a dragon out of the water, and rushed forward.
