Chapter 157: Massacre!
The iron armor is strong, and the spear is like a long forest.
When the vanguard led by Lan Yu really came to the shallow water, they did not immediately launch a chaotic charge.
On the contrary, after Lan Yu erected the Pioneer General's Tooth Flag, all the Pioneer Team members who took the speedboat began to gather towards Lan Yu's Tooth Banner.
These pioneers have conducted numerous military exercises for this kind of landing warfare during their training in peacetime.
What to do and what not to do, these team members are naturally clear.
I have to say that these pioneers are all wearing paper armor, although their defensive power is not as good as iron armor, but it is not a problem to defend against bow and arrow shooting from fifty paces.
This is the armor that Li Jin specially created for these pioneers.
The main material of these armors is leather, and in order to increase the defensive power of the armor, Li Jin specially had people glue four layers of leather glue.
Some key parts of the paper armor, such as the heart and chest, will be inlaid with patches.
The reason why paper armor was chosen as the main battle armor of the first team is because it is light and soft.
Although paper armor may seem thin and light, it actually has excellent protective properties.
The method of using multiple layers of leather superposition can make the paper armor have a certain bulletproof and stabbing resistance, especially the protection against bows and arrows.
Although Li Jin could not talk about knowing himself and his opponent, he knew that the weapons of these Japanese were certainly very rudimentary.
At least bows and arrows are scarce.
What Li Jin was most afraid of in the landing battle was long-range weapons, after all, as long as the navy's first landing team could line up the formation on the sea, then there was no need to worry about the Japanese at all.
What Li Jin was most worried about was that in the process of landing, he would be attacked by the enemy's arrows, resulting in heavy casualties, which Li Jin could not accept.
That's why Li Jin came out, such a pair of paper armor.
Its function is to be able to resist some bows and crossbows that are not very powerful, and powerful bows and crossbows cannot be obtained.
At the same time, it can not affect the landing operation of the advance team, and if they wear heavy armor, Li Jin is worried that these advance teams will not be able to move an inch on the beach.
And these paper armors are lightweight, and when worn on the body, they are only a little heavier than ordinary clothes, and they will not affect the actions of the first team too much.
Even Lan Yu wore a pure white paper armor, coupled with the eight-petal hat and iron-pointed helmet on his head, which looked like Baylor in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Of course, Li Jin's inspiration for making paper armor came from the paper armor worn by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations.
In fact, the prosperity of paper armor was in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, when the Ming Dynasty's finances collapsed, and there was no financial resources to manufacture sophisticated iron armor, so paper armor could only be used to make up the number.
Most of this kind of paper armor is inlaid with pieces of paper and silk, and as a result, after the Ming army wears these paper armors, it can not resist the powerful heavy arrows of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and suffers heavy casualties.
On the contrary, it was the Manchu Qing people who captured these paper armors and wore them on their bodies, which could effectively resist the shooting of arrows in the Ming Dynasty and play the greatest role of paper armor.
Now that Li Jin has applied these paper armors to the Navy's first team, the weak arrows of the Japanese on the shore will not cause any substantial damage to the first team at all.
Only a few players who came to the team first were bruised by stray arrows, which was also insignificant.
Under Lan Yu's summoning, soon more than 400 pioneers were fully assembled.
Zhu Di was in the middle of the group, his face was covered by the hood of his helmet, but he was not recognized by Lan Yu.
Looking at the black pressure on the shore, as if there was a fight, without any formation, Zhu Di's eyes lit up, and his heart couldn't help but flutter violently.
Not fear, but excitement.
was so excited that Zhu Di's hands couldn't help but tremble, these would-be robbers were really not afraid of death.
actually appeared in his field of vision with a swagger like this, and did not look for any cover, which made Zhu Di feel that these people were standing there as live targets.
No, it's better than a target.
You must know that in the secret training base on Zhoushan Island, Li Jin's training of these soldiers is varied.
It is completely in accordance with the training of special forces, all kinds of physical sports, wilderness survival, and shooting events, as long as Li Jin can think of it, all of them are arranged for these people.
After all, the people of this era are very simple, especially the Yiwu soldiers, who have a strong physique, and their ancestral skills are fighting, so they are naturally excellent soldiers.
In addition, these people are all good sons specially selected by Li Jin, and under Li Jin's constant instillation of obedience orders in them, these soldiers can practice all the items set by Li Jin very well.
As long as the food and silver are enough, these are not a matter for the Yiwu soldiers.
And the last thing Li Jin lacks is silver.
Under Li Jin's inhumane and crazy oppression, he trained a qualified 400 pioneers.
These people seem to be very few in number, but they are all elites who have been tempered and selected by thousands of people.
Especially for the shooting event, if you don't qualify, you won't even be eligible to enter the first team.
In shooting, the most common test is to shoot at a moving target.
Zhu Di is among the best in this shooting event, so he is eligible to be promoted.
Holding the fire gun in his hand tightly, Zhu Di could even feel the jubilation coming from the fire gun at the moment, and this feeling of heart-to-heart connection was the main reason why Zhu Di was able to get such good results.
The tense atmosphere continued to gather on the coast, and the Japanese on the shore gathered more and more, and the first team had already divided into four columns under Lan Yu's arrangement.
"Four-stage, array!!"
Lan Yu stood at the forefront of the team, holding the drawn waist knife in his hand, and roared loudly at the Japanese on the coast:
"Shoot ready!!"
Zhu Di and the others raised the firearms in their hands one after another, and the muzzle of the black hole pointed forward.
There were still a few arrows coming from the shore, but most of them were weak.
At this time, when the Japanese saw that their families were outnumbered, and that the enemy was only a few hundred people, all of them were greatly confident.
Wielding a large sword and spear in his hand, he rushed towards Lan Yu with a roar.
The leader was bare-headed with two small braids on both sides, and he was a real man.
Most of the people behind him are wearing Ming costumes, and even the hair accessories are Han dresses.
Lan Yu was slightly stunned when he saw that these people not only did not run, but also dared to charge at him without risking their lives.
But then, a cruel smile rolled up at the corner of Lan Yu's mouth, and he said coldly:
"Shoot, don't leave a single one!!"
"Bang bang bang!!"
With the swing of the waist knife in Lan Yu's hand, there was a violent sound of popping beans behind him.
This shot was completely different from the free fire on the ship just now, this time it was a salvo formed into a queue.
The power is not the same as just now.
Sure enough, as the gunshots rang out, the would-be would-be wolf, who was charging towards this side like crazy, fell in an instant.
The momentum of the charge was stagnant.
At the forefront of the charge just now, the real widow who screamed the most happily died even more miserably.
Half of the Heavenly Spirit cover was cut off from his head, and two large holes were blown out in his chest, and it was obvious that he was being taken care of.
"Don't be afraid, keep rushing, this is a musket, as long as you rush closer, we will win!"
I don't know who in the crowd shouted, and continued to encourage the pirates to continue to charge.
"Kill!!"
Naturally, they are brave and ruthless people, and they only hesitate for a moment, and then continue to shout and charge forward.
"Hack these dog offal!"
Charging over and over again, he was still yelling in his mouth, as if he had emboldened himself again.
"Bang bang bang!"
Unfortunately, it backfired, and hellish gunfire continued to ring.
This time, there were more fallen widows, after all, the distance between the two was no more than thirty steps.
The distance of thirty steps is basically the maximum killing range of the firebolt, not only can it penetrate the human body, but even the accuracy is to reach the maximum shooting distance.
Under the precise blows of the first team, these widows were like wheat, and as soon as the sea breeze blew, the people in the front row fell one after another.
The original 1,000 people who rushed forward with great momentum were reduced by 20% in the blink of an eye, and this terrifying lethality was simply a massacre!
"Rush, rush, don't stop, they're not good anymore, this is the final blow!!"
The same voice sounded again, trying to encourage the pirates to continue the charge.
