"Hurry up and ......"

When the battleship kept bombarding the island, the officer on the transport ship shouted loudly to the soldiers, and hurriedly boarded the boat through the rope ladder, ready to attack the shore.

This is a unit that is dressed very differently from the rest of the Ming army.

Most of the other Ming army uniforms were red.

And the uniform of this army is light blue.

Other Ming army clothes are embroidered with the word brave, and on their clothes, there is a brave tiger character.

This army was subordinate to the navy, numbered 8,500 people, and the unit was called the Tiger Jiao Battalion.

Their main task is to cooperate with naval landing operations or engage in broadside battles with the enemy.

Most of the members came from the ocean-going treasure ship guards, and half of them participated in the battle of the mountain country of Ceylon and played the role of Japanese robbers, which can be regarded as Zhu Gaoyu's descendants.

Wang Jin, this guy is also Han.

Zhu Gaoyu asked him to recruit troops, and this guy took advantage of Zheng He's inattention to run to the ocean-going treasure fleet and pulled everyone away.

Good guy, when Zheng He knew, there were only two or three kittens and puppies left among the fleet guards.

In addition to combatants, various professions such as sailors and navigators were also poached by Wang Jin.

Now Zheng He is sailing away, not to mention sailing, and he can't even get together the cooks to fight.

The entire fleet originally had more than 27,000 people, but after Wang Jin's scraping was finished, there were less than 5,000 people left.

Such a shameless behavior made Zheng He, who has always been gentle, scold his mother.

If it weren't for the conquest of the Japanese kingdom later, the old man would temporarily assign the entire fleet to Zhu Gaoyu's command, and Zheng He would have to raise a knife and have a good theory with Zhu Gaoyu.

Therefore, the navy in Zhu Gaoyu's hands said that it was recruited by himself, but in fact, most of them were members of Zheng He's ocean-going treasure ships.

When Zhu Gaoyu knew, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said that Wang Jin's appearance was a little too ugly, so he left some for others, what kind of words did he dig up.

As a result, Wang Jin explained with a bitter face, if he didn't dig up the roots of his old club, he would get together the personnel in three months, and it was also a bunch of useless shows, with no combat effectiveness at all.

The Navy wants to have combat effectiveness as soon as possible, and eating ready-made is the best option.

Besides, Zheng He's main purpose is to exchange foreign countries and promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, this elite naval force is wasted in his hands, so it is better to pull it over and form a special combat unit.

For Wang Jin's brazenness, Zhu Gaoyu highly appreciated it.

"Whoa..."

As a boat was filled with soldiers, the soldiers took their oars or used their weapons in their hands to pluck the water hard, so that the boat quickly approached the shore.

"Tell me to go down and stop the shelling!"

As a large number of small boats rushed out of the fleet and approached the shore, Zhu Gaoyu gave the order to stop the shelling.

In addition to saving ammunition, the main reason is that the range of the gun is too short, and it is not accurate.

If you accidentally hit your own boat, it will be a joke.

And after three rounds of shelling, it is estimated that there is little resistance on the shore.

Sure enough, the shore was just as Zhu Gaoyu guessed.

With the landing of the Tiger Jiao Battalion, a signal was soon sent that no resistance had been found.

In fact, after withstanding the first round of shelling, the Japanese Koumen, who had no heart to resist at all, turned around and ran away.

As for the spirit of bushido, well, there is no such thing at this time.

Loyalty to the emperor is even more bullshit.

Isn't the emperor just a puppet, and it's none of their business?

Receiving the signal from the shore, Zhu Gaoyu shook his head speechlessly.

To tell the truth, he was ready to sacrifice a lot of his men when he landed.

As a result, not to mention sacrifice, except for the stumps and broken arms in one place, and a few unlucky people who couldn't escape, there was no one who resisted.

"Pass the order down and let them keep going."

"Order the Tiger Jiao Battalion to continue the landing."

An unchallenged battle made Zhu Gaoyu lose interest.

"These little gourds, why don't you resist and resist, you lie still like this, I am very uninterested, it's okay to hum twice!"

Wang Jin, who was standing on the side to accompany him, heard Zhu Gaoyu's complaint, and his expression was full of strangeness.

After receiving the order to continue the attack, the first batch of Tiger Jiao battalions that landed, under the command of a thousand households, formed a military formation and slowly advanced.

During the voyage, Zhu Gaoyu gave them a lot of lessons, and what he often said was that the lion fought the rabbit with all his strength.

Before I completely wipe out the enemy, even if it's an ant, you give me all my energy and prepare for battle.

As the first batch of warriors who defected to Zhu Gaoyu, they have unlimited possibilities in the future, but they don't want to be driven out of the navy because they don't obey orders.

Therefore, every officer strictly carried out Zhu Gaoyu's orders and faced every enemy with the greatest vigilance.

The team marched slowly all the way, and after about a mile, they finally came across a camp.

The whole structure of the camp is mainly thatched huts, and the whole camp is surrounded by a wooden fence.

At this time, the camp was silent, and there was not even a sound of chickens and dogs barking.

"The whole team!"

Qianhu, the leader of the team, asked the team to adjust first, and his eyes scanned the entire camp sharply.

The equipment configuration of the Tiger Jiao battalion is generally no different from other Ming troops, and the difference is that wolf soldiers are added to the team.

This kind of weapon with a spear in front of the thistle terrestris tied with a bamboo is the wolf whisk used by the Qi family army in the future.

In addition to this, each squad has two soldiers carrying large wooden barrels on their backs.

After observing for a while, Qianhu, who didn't find any clues, raised his hand and waved.

Several soldiers quickly unhooked the torches behind their backs and lit them with fire breakers, helping the archers ignite the rockets.

"Whoosh..."

Several archers rushed forward, and when they approached the camp, they did not hesitate to shoot the rockets in their hands.

"Crackling..."

The dry grass burned quickly when it came into contact with the flames, and with the blessing of the sea breeze, several adjacent thatched huts soon burst into flames.

Chinohe listened quietly with his ears sideways, and after confirming that there was no response, he stretched out a finger and pointed forward, and a group of soldiers quickly stepped forward and touched the camp.

The others remained where they were, vigilantly scanning their surroundings to prevent an enemy from ambushing and sneaking up.

"Onboard, whoa, whoa, ......"

Before the team had reached the camp, there was a howl of ghosts and wolves.

"Prepare for war!"

Qianhu's eyes narrowed, and the command flag in his hand waved again and again.

"Kill"

The soldiers who had been on guard for a long time shouted in unison, ready for battle.

The returning squad of soldiers quickly circled the formation and went to the back of the line.

"Kill to ......"

The head of the Zong family, who had already put on his clothes, brandished the katana in his hand, roared, and led thousands of Japanese robbers to rush out of the camp and rush towards the Ming army in line.

He was lucky to survive the shelling, and he was on fire.

He understood that the other party refused to talk to him.

Since the other party wants his life, he will not be restrained, even if he dies, he will pull a few pads.

The Ming warships were powerful and the artillery was fierce, and the head of the Zong family knew that he was invincible on the shore, so he withdrew to the camp with his people.

The terrain around the camp was not large, and the Ming army brigade could not be deployed, so it could only enter with a team of 1,000 people.

The head of the Zong family felt that with the strength of his samurai, it was not certain who would win and who would lose on his own territory.

As for escaping, he didn't think about it at all.

The surrounding sea area will definitely be blocked by the Ming army, even if they flee into the mountains, there is no food, what do so many people eat, sooner or later they will starve to death.

Instead of starving to death in the mountains and forests, it is better to fight.

Maybe he won the Ming army by luck, and the two sides still have the possibility of negotiation.

Even if he fails, he will kill a few Ming soldiers to bury him.

As for surrender, he didn't even think about it.

Even the people who went to negotiate were killed by the Ming army, which shows that the other party has no intention of negotiating at all.

If he takes the lead in surrendering and meets his fate, he will either die or become a slave.

He didn't want to choose either, so he decided to take a gamble.

Just now, he was planning to borrow the house in the camp and engage in a melee with the Ming army.

But the Ming army was very vigilant and did not go in at all, but set a fire outside.

The camp is all thatched huts, and if it burns like this, it can't be stopped at all.

In desperation, the head of the Zong family could only grit his teeth and lead people to rush out, intending to defeat this group of Ming troops first, and then rob them of their equipment and find a favorable terrain to defend.

He had the best idea, but it was a pity that he underestimated the Tiger Jiao Camp.

The combat effectiveness of this elite of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to that of the officers and soldiers of the ordinary guards.

If they are equal in number, any unit of the three major battalions will be willing to bow down.

In the face of the Japanese charge, the soldiers of the Tiger Jiao Battalion did not have any expression on their faces, just quietly holding their weapons, waiting for orders.

"Shoot!"

As the two sides entered a distance of 50 paces, the command flag in the hands of the thousand households waved violently.

The shield-bearer immediately crouched down, and the hundred archers on standby behind him drew their bows and arrows, and released the bowstring in their hands with only a slight aim.

"Whoosh Whoosh ......"

The arrows pierced the air and whistled, and hundreds of arrows roared towards the Wako.

"Yaga, defense!"

The head of the Zong family widened his eyes and shouted and raised the wooden shield in his hand.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The arrows were very fast, and they rushed into the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The head of the Zong family was at the forefront, the first to find the arrow, and he could react.

And those who didn't see it, and didn't even have a shield, were directly pierced by arrows.

There was a scream in an instant.

The island nation is very barren, and weapons and everything are scarce, not to mention defensive equipment.

With the exception of the most elite samurai of the major families, most of the samurai were dressed in clothes and a sword, fooling around everywhere.

Lacking defensive equipment, and not reacting immediately, in the face of the rain of arrows from the Ming Dynasty, it was really like a lamb to the slaughter.

This round of arrow rain alone harvested no less than 30 lives.

"Baga, don't stop, rush forward, or we'll all die."

He has robbed the head of the Ming clan more than once, and has had contact with the Ming army.

The fighting style of the local tyrants of the Ming army, he knows it very well.

If they did not engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Ming army as soon as possible, the result of waiting would be to be ruthlessly shot by the Ming army.

Sure enough, the local tyrants of the Ming army once again verified his idea.

As soon as his shout fell, and before the would-be robbers could react, a second round of arrows rained down again.

Although the Japanese were prepared this time, the gap in equipment could not be made up after all.

More than 20 people fell to the ground with a muffled scream.

"Baga, rush up, rush up!"

The head of the Zong clan jumped to his feet in a hurry, roaring angrily for the somewhat chaotic samurai to hurry up.

Fortunately, he still has some prestige, and although the Japanese are a little hairy in their hearts, they also understand that the head of the Zong family is right.

They didn't want to die, so aggrieved, they roared angrily and sped up.

After two rounds of firing from the Ming army, the two sides finally approached within 10 steps.

Looking at the shield bearers who had already stood up and the archers who had retreated, a hideous smile appeared on the face of the Wako.

However, seeing that hand-to-hand combat was about to break out, some of the shield players in front of the Ming army suddenly fell down.

And what's even stranger is that they have a big bucket behind them.

When the Japanese were puzzled, a Ming soldier holding a small torch touched the barrel.

Subsequently......

"Tweet ......"

A piercing scream came from the opposite side, and the octagonal barrel spewed out thick smoke.

The widow, who was almost blinded, could not see what was going on clearly, when a sudden tingling pain came from his body.

One of the widows, subconsciously looked down, and saw the tail of an arrow, trembling in his chest.

The wound on his chest was still emitting a plume of black smoke.

Just as he wondered where the arrow had come from, it was a coincidence that an arrow landed at his feet.

He looked at the bamboo tube that was spewing fire, and suddenly understood something.

"Less than death!"

The heat and pain from his body made his eyes sink more and more, and in the end, he couldn't support it anymore, his eyes closed, and his body fell down heavily.

Daming swarmed and made a perfect debut.

The first time I saw this kind of weapon, I was shocked that the ghost cried wolf.

Shouting that this was the weapon of the gods, the madman screamed and turned to escape.

How could the Ming army let their exploits run away.

The above is explained, a wolf's head for a tael of silver.

On the other side, who is a person, it is a grain of silver with white flowers.

At the moment when the swarm was powerful, the command flag in the hands of thousands of households waved forward violently.

"Kill!"

"Daming Wansheng!"

The soldiers roared in unison, and while the smoke of gunpowder had not dissipated, they rushed forward in formation.

A wolf who turned to run, before he could take a step, a spear shot rushed out of the smoke and stabbed him in the chest.

Before the spear could be drawn, a ring-headed knife slashed out of the air, splitting the evil head in two.

Two quarters of an hour later, the officers and soldiers, covered in blood, were happily harvesting the heads.

The head of the Zong family held his head and squatted on the ground with a bunch of captives who had not escaped, looking at the Ming army who had cut off his head with fearful eyes.

As far as the eye can see, the entire battlefield is full of corpses of Japanese robbers, and except for a few wounded on the Ming army's side, not even a single one died.

"It turns out that the Ming Dynasty is not only strong in the fleet, but also strong in the soldiers!"

"If I knew this, it would be better to surrender, although I am not free to be a slave, I still have to do the hardest and most tiring work, at least live."

"I resisted the Ming army, and I also injured a few Ming soldiers, I'm afraid I will be killed by venting my anger."

"Which of you is the head?"

Just when the head of the Zong family was holding his head and regretting it in his heart, a somewhat non-standard whisper sounded.

The head of the Zong family trembled in his heart, and his eyes warned the surrounding widows.

As a result, the other captives did not even bird him.

I used to be the head of the house, so it's normal to be afraid of you.

Now that everyone is a captive, their identities are the same, and you still threaten a fart.

"Lord Daming, I know!"

A widow seemed to be afraid that others would take the lead, so he quickly stood up and was about to answer.

But what greeted him was a cold light, shining steel knife.

The person who asked wiped the blood-stained knife in his hand on the corpse, and looked at the widows who were trembling with fright with cold eyes.

"When I ask questions, I have to answer on my knees, and if there are people who don't understand the rules, this is the end."

The frightened would-be robbers nodded again and again, and the original squatting action turned into kneeling on the ground, holding their heads and not daring to move.

"Now answer me, who is your head."

Retracting the steel knife, Ming Jun asked again.

"I am!"

The head of the Zong family shouted vigorously.

Rather than letting others sell for the benefits, it is better to take the initiative to stand up yourself.

Glancing at the head of the Zong family who revealed his identity, Ming Jun glanced at the others again.

Seeing some of the widows, there was some disappointment in his eyes, and he nodded and said to the head of the Zong family: "You come with me." ”

The head of the Zong family followed the soldier nervously and walked to the beach.

Soon, we came to a cliff.

The head of the Zong family noticed that there were soldiers standing guard everywhere, obviously protecting some big man.

After several soldiers searched his body, the head of the Zong family was taken to a boulder.

The head of the Zong family saw a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume.

In front of him was a small table with several plates of delicate pastries.

Smelling the fragrance of the sea breeze, the head of the Zong family, who also hadn't eaten breakfast, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"Your Highness, this person is the lord of Tsushima Island."

Zhu Gaoyu, who was blowing the sea breeze and eating breakfast while looking at the sea view, nodded and waved his hand to the left army next to him.

The left army took out a map, handed it to the soldier who reported it, and explained a few words in his ear.

After listening, the soldier nodded, took the map and came to the side of the head of the Zong family who was lying on the ground with his eyes glazed, and raised his foot and kicked it.

"Don't look around!"

The head of the Zong family hurriedly lowered his head.

"Hey!"

The soldier spread out the map in front of the head of the Zong family, and said in a cold tone: "Each of the above countries, which force it is, and how many soldiers it has, tell them one by one." ”

"Given a satisfactory answer, you can live."

"Otherwise, I'll let you taste Ling Chi's power."

"Do you know Ling Chi?"

The head of the Zong family nodded frantically.

As the master who has the most contact with the Ming Dynasty of North Korea, he still knows about this punishment.

"Very well, now I'll ask you to answer!"

Half an hour later, a map full of words and a statistical notebook were handed over to Zhu Gaoyu's desk.

Zhu Gaoyu didn't look at it, and waved his hand, "Go to the captive and ask, scratch him by the wrong one, and if you answer correctly, you will kill the person who answered correctly." ”

After the head of the Zong family was taken away, the fighting Qianhu came over with a serious expression.

"Your Highness, a corpse was found in the camp."

"According to our inspection, it should be one of the Kong family members who went missing."

Zhu Gaoyu, who was holding a small steamed bun and stuffing it into his mouth, stiffened his hand violently, and angrily threw the bun on the table.

"After the bold Japanese dare to bully the saints like this, if they don't exterminate them all, how can we be worthy of the teachings of the saints and the expectations of the people of the world."

After scolding, Zhu Gaoyu showed a trace of grief on his face, "Collect the corpse and send it to North Korea, so that they can find a way to send it back to Daming." ”

"Alas, you can't go back to Daming in life, how can you let the leaves fall back to your roots after death, you have to be careful, don't fall into the sea and be eaten by the sea king."

"Your Highness, that... It's all stinking! ”

Qianhu was embarrassed and told the situation of the corpse.

Zhu Gaoyu waved his hand in disgust when he heard this, "Since it stinks, then don't luck it, send it back to Daming, maybe it will cause plague, if it endangers the people, it is estimated that he will not be happy in his heart." ”

"Leave the things to prove your identity, and throw the rest into the sea to feed the king."

"I believe that as a Confucian saint, he will be able to understand our difficulties."

Qianhu: "........."
