Chapter 741: Easy Landing Battle (Summoning Monthly Pass)
Even the generals on the side also have the same sense of agreement, Xi Jun's words are definitely not bragging, in my eyes, those Japanese people are short and frustrated, looking at their expressions and movements, you can clearly understand, this is simply a group of beggar-style troops, and the elite of the Tang Dynasty has been in battle for a long time, and they can not be frightened and flee before the war, even if they are blessed by the bullshit god of the Japanese country.
"It seems that the old man really looks down on these little people, and I am afraid that even the big dog guarding the door of the old man's mansion is a head taller than them. Damn, most of my Datang people are fortunate to come this time are infantry troops, otherwise, I am afraid that I can't even cut people on a horse. General Zhang's words were very humorous, and all the generals present smiled crookedly. The big guy didn't have any pre-war fear or worry, more of it, like watching a show. Landing in Songjiang is just a warm-up exercise for the elite of Datang.
Seventy or eighty thousand Japanese troops, there are nearly 10,000 on the beach, all of them are archers, and the rest of the Japanese are all standing at the end of the beach and on the shore, the number seems to be a lot, but less than half of them are wearing armor, and most of them are leather armor, and even the shields in some people's hands are only temporary woven bamboo cards. The weapon in his hand is even a bamboo spear, and it would be strange if that thing could cause damage to Datang's iron armor.
Fighting with such a team, if he loses, Ben Gongzi will not only lose the face of the Tang Dynasty soldiers, but also become a laughing stock among the traversers, so the battle of the landing on Wajima, no matter how the commander of the water marshal thinks, but I must deal with it with the spirit of twelve points. According to my request, in order to improve the hit rate and the success rate of the strike, the Datang gunboat sailed to a distance of three miles from the shore, and its hideous muzzles were slowly aimed at the enemy on the shore.
As the flag waved, the guns of the ships spat out huge flames in turn, and one after another the cannonballs were like winged pieces of iron, screaming and smashing fiercely at the Japanese people on the beach and the long-range weapons on the commanding heights. Bursts of fire and smoke bloomed like blooming flowers like blooming wildly, devouring everything around it, and the severed arms and stumps of blood and flesh were tossed high by the blast wave, throwing them out in all directions, forming a powerful shocking effect. Before the first round of shelling had even stopped, the Japanese man, who had been frightened by the power of such a weapon he had never seen before, screamed, dropped his bow and arrows, and ran back like a mad dog in the back of his ass.
In the face of the power of artillery, the catapults of the Japanese people are like papier-mâché things, only need one shot, absolutely disintegrate, and become a pile of green smoke firewood, and some of the Japanese people hold their heads, looking at the sky in despair, as if they are begging their bullshit gods to manifest, unfortunately, in the face of the powerful force of the Tang Dynasty, the only ones who dare to move towards the beach are only a few frightened and crazy Japanese people.
--------------------------------------------------- "Fire, keep firing, each gunboat will attack me at least ten rounds or more!" Tell Liu Renliang to let the landing ship set off immediately! General Zhang's excited eyes turned green, and he gave an order loudly, and soon, the fast boats were like javelins that had been thrown with great force, and they rushed out of the battleship group of the Tang Navy Division.
The speed advantage of the chariots and ships was immediately apparent, and the wheels of the twenty-seven chariots and ships made a huge splash, leaving the boats, yachts, and sea falcons far behind, and approached the silver-white sand at a rapid speed, and at this time, the Japanese seemed to have woken up from the panic, and the swords in the hands of those armored men frantically slashed at the bodies of the routs, and finally stopped their retreat, and under the threat of spears and sharp blades, the Japanese people rushed towards the beach howling and rushing, It seemed to want to keep the landing force of the Tang Dynasty out of the beach, but they were greeted by a dense rain of arrows shot from the boats by the landing soldiers, and the powerful lethality of the triangular arrows easily pierced their fragile leather armor and pierced deep into their limbs, wailing and screaming of despair one after another...... These 20,000 Japanese people are like a group of small animals sandwiched between two boulders, facing forward is also death, retreating is also death, one will rush forward, one will run towards good, people are running less and less, only a few people who were aroused to survive ** Waving the weapons in their hands, rushing into the sea, to meet them, only a sharp arrow, submerged into their bodies, dyed the nearby sea water bright red.
And the damage of their bows and arrows to my Datang soldiers is extremely limited, the arrows are like tickling in front of the exquisite helmets and armor of the Datang soldiers, except for a few unlucky people, almost no one is hurt by the arrows.
The 20,000 Japanese archers were like a group of cannon fodder, and the Normandy-style landing that I had imagined in my heart was like a joke compared to what I was looking for.
In less than five rounds of artillery bombardment, the five thousand elites of the Tang Dynasty had already landed on the beach, although the elites of the Tang Dynasty wearing armor appeared to be faltering in the sea less than one meter deep, but the strong armor gave them solid protection, which greatly reduced the casualties on the shore. At this time, the Japanese army finally shouted, tens of thousands of people rushed out from behind the beach, howling and charging towards the beach, at this time, the six hundred mortars installed on various small and medium-sized ships by our Datang finally wielded, countless shells hit the middle of the beach like hail, and the smoke column that rose up one by one was like a high wall that no one could cross, and the impact of the Japanese people was cut in two from the middle.
At this time, there were also brave people who waved the swords and guns in their hands and rushed forward, and the first batch of landing soldiers in Datang had already advanced to the shallow water that was only calf-high. Breaking free from the shackles of the sea and regaining control of their bodies, they did not panic in the slightest, and arranged a neat formation in an orderly manner, first shot the arrows that had been loaded long ago from the steel crossbow, then took off the grenade from their waists, handed it to the side of the fire that had been ignited in their mouths, and threw it forward with all their might, and finally pulled out the horizontal knife at their waists, facing the large number of Japanese people, and rushed towards the crowd without fear.
Mortars and naval guns still maintain their range and rate of fire, bursting into crushed flesh and blood in the Japanese army, and the first batch of Tang infantry ashore are the elite of the elite, facing these rabble, short stature, and inferior weapons, just like an adult strong man bullying a child, every knife will always cut through the opponent's defenseless body, and the splashing blood plasma makes the silver-white beach and the sea water along the coast dyed a strange red.
At the cost of less than a thousand people, the 20,000 Japanese troops who rushed through the artillery blockade were resisted to the death, and with the landing of the second batch of Tang infantry, the Japanese offensive gradually became weaker and weaker, and finally they could only leave behind countless corpses and flee backwards. The Japanese generals in the distance seemed to be preparing to charge again, but at this time, the gunboat artillery and mortar fire extended forward, so that the Japanese army had no way to prevent the landing of the Tang infantry in this situation, and after the second charge had more than half of the casualties, the 80,000 Japanese army was almost one-third less, so they had to flee from the coast and retreat backwards.
--------------------------------------------------- since there is no enemy obstruction, the next landing will naturally become faster, the wounded soldiers are receiving emergency treatment from the medical staff, and the rest of the people are forming a team, scattering towards the beach on all sides, searching for the remnants of the enemy, 50,000 Tang soldiers finally completed the assembly on the beach at the end of the beach, By the way, the camp tent of the original Japanese people was used as our temporary military camp, and General Zhang Da and I also landed on the island of Honshu in the Japanese country.
The remnants of the sun were like blood, and they were a distant sight of severed arms and stumps and dirty blood on the beach, but I didn't like to admire the sight because I wasn't a pervert. I stood next to the catapult on a commanding height that had been blown apart, looking at the sky that was illuminated orange by the remnant sun, my heart was full of excitement at the moment, this is the first time in the history of ancient Chinese warfare that the army of the country has set foot on this dirty land, I have the responsibility and obligation to purify this land, well, by the way, according to Uncle Li's private instructions, the population, wealth, and gold and copper mines on the island...... In short, whatever is useful, I Datang will requisition it cleanly, so as to provide a good and safe environment for my future immigrants.
This battle was so easy that it even made me feel a little disappointed, and I felt ridiculous that I had this kind of thought, perhaps, too easy victory, but it would make people confused, and I seem to have this kind of psychology now. General Zhang and the others were also standing not far in front, proudly pointing at the Tang warship moored in the sea, and they must have cared about the silver again.
My students have finally taken to the beach, maybe they have seen a lot of such scenes, and they can do their best to ignore everything that is abnormal on the beach, it's not that I'm cruel, but in this day and age, as a man, you have to have the courage to face all this.
They walked slowly towards me, their eyes and expressions were very firm, as if they were also veterans who had withstood the test of blood and fire, and the firmness of their minds would eventually become a boost for their growth.
