Three hundred and ninetieth chapters cry
Amid the noise of drums, small boats were put down from the big ship, and a large number of pirates quickly descended from the climbing net beside the hull, falling into the boat.
A four-oar boat can carry twenty or thirty people on this kind of near-shore sea. Two small boats are generally hung on both sides of the large ship. As long as you travel two or three times, a group of thieves who are going to fight ashore in the war will be transported.
This is a grand scene. More than 200 large ships were scattered on the sea, and countless four-oops or eight-oops were leaping like fish on the sea. The pirates were skilled in their ability to get on and off the big ships quickly. After getting on and off the small boat, everyone worked together to row the small boat, and the whole ship rushed forward like a flying one.
There were dozens of small pirate ships, who simply pulled the boat and moved forward along the tide. When it was half a person deep on the shore, the thieves on the boat jumped down one after another. They had no time and patience to dock on the pier, so they simply put down the people on the boat. After all the pirates on the boat were all launched, the big ships slowly retreated a little, but they were almost still left in the original place near the shore. Some people were left on the boat, fiddling with the stone-cat cannons or heavy crossbows on the boat.
The crossbow making technique should be learned from the people of Tianfang, and is not on the same level as the bed crossbow of the Wei Dynasty. Although it is a heavy crossbow that only a few people can pull, the effective shooting range is only 200 or 300 steps away, but the battlefield is about a mile away from the sea. The pirates are set here, and the effective shooting range of the stone-cat cannon on the ship will not exceed one mile. At most, these ships cover the defeated pirates to escape back to the ship. No one would believe this result, so these people were slow and only looking at the spectacular landing scene in front of them.
More than an hour later, there were thousands of thieves who had already landed, and the speed was quite fast.
These people have been plundering at sea for many years. Not to mention sailing on small boats, they have done a lot of things to fight in hand-to-hand combat. They are extremely agile. Although they are not in the army, their personal bravery and skills are quite good. Those who are thin, have poor courage and are not strong at sea will not survive in this group.
At this time, the sun was rising high and the weather was extremely clear. The sea and the sky were bright blue. The green and white cotton balls in the distance were clearly visible. Yan Qi could no longer hold back and wanted to lead the troops to land in the first place.
Liu Dan looked at it and found that the thieves on the shore had gathered under the banners of their respective leaders. The flags were in a mess, all kinds of colors, and the thieves were also in a mess. The thieves who first went ashore were still a few hundred steps away from the thieves in Qizhou that were placed in the front. After the rest of the thieves got off the boat, they gradually gathered together and still failed to form an array.
But this is not a big problem. What Liu Dan saw was that all the thieves were full of morale. They raised the flag in their hands, stood under the banner of their respective leaders, and then talked and laughed loudly, and waved all kinds of weapons in their hands from time to time. These men and women were powerful, fierce and brave, and were brutal. Every pirate had a life. This was inevitable. Good people could not stay in such a team. They were eager to fight, loot, and they were eager to drink the enemy's blood. They were eager to plunder the wealth, and they also longed to get women on the island.
These people, only spirits, women and gambling, can calm them down. If someone is angry, you can see that the pirates are emitting black and gray aura on their heads. This is the aura of killing and robbery. They have been on the sea for a long time and can't wait.
"Brother Yan should pay attention to keeping some strong men. If you kill them all, our subordinates will not pick cotton."
After making a joke, Liu Dan was also ready to get off the ship and land. His troops were on several large ships, with about 2,000 people stationed on Cebu Island in Luzon for many years and were often trained. The army was already very skilled in fighting formation skills. These more than 2,000 people were Liu Dan's real family background, and some of the thieves were brought out by him, and they were also banned. But after all, they were surrounded by people, and only these more than 2,000 people, who had been through battle formations for a long time and were trained for many years, could set up formations under the military flag and wear various armors. They were Liu Dan's confidant and real family background.
Liu Dan was in a bad mood and successfully landed. He had already won more than half of this battle. Although the government army was strong, it could be seen that the armored equipment was not as good as the Great Wei Imperial Army. It was probably just the imposed version of the Great Wei Xiang Army.
Yan Qi's violent temperament also smiled and said, "Then you will leave a few thousand strong men, and it will not be too late to kill after picking cotton."
After saying that, Liu Dan smiled and got off the ship, Yan Qi was not in a hurry. The cooperation between him and Liu Dan was that Liu Dan would first go to the formation and gather troops. Once the fight was fought, Yan Qi led his troops as the vanguard.
After half an hour, Liu Dan finally led more than 2,000 troops to ashore on a small boat. His subordinates were all armoured, and all kinds of armor shone brightly in the sunshine of noon. His subordinates had armor styles such as Wei army, Japanese armor, Luzon and Siamese armor, all of which were all iron armor. The soldiers all held long spears and long swords, all of which were mainly long weapons. Liu Dan was surrounded by dozens of guards holding giant axes, with iron armor all over his body, guarding Liu Dan to the central army.
After Liu Dan's flag of the beach god was erected, the pirates were motivated, and they all screamed strangely. After a while, the sound turned into a whistle, like a storm, with a surround. It was probably a constant sound.
The civilians and strong men a few miles away were listening very seriously on the defense line, and they would be despised when they heard the sound.
At this time, a group of thieves came ashore one after another. At about two minutes, the first one was in the water in the drinking bag. They had been on the ashore for a long time and were baked by the sun for more than two hours. Their bodies were sweating profusely. Fortunately, they all came from tropical places and were not afraid of the heat. When they got ashore, they brought some dry food. Now they were eating dry food with clear water. Many people squatted down or sat to restore their strength.
Liu Dan ordered the arrival of the person who arrived later to set up from both sides and fully pull the queue away. The entire battlefield of several miles was gradually filled with thieves.
At this point, there were about 26,700 thieves who had gone ashore. When Liu Dan looked back, he saw silver light flashing on the sea. He knew that Yan Qi was also coming up.
Yan Qi stood at the head of the boat, with carefully polished armor on his body, like silver armor being tied to his body, and his body was really shining with silver.
This is a habit of learning from the people of Tianfang. The people of Tianfang fought with the Thais. The Thais were mainly the knight system in their early years. Wars were the affairs of nobles and knights. Civilians did not need to fight, and at most they took care of war horses and helped logistics. Even the knights' escorts were trainees young knights. When the British regarded civilians as longbowmen, the pure knight system was a bit difficult. Then in the Renaissance, muskets appeared, and the knight system gradually disappeared.
Before the extinction of the knight system, the Thais wore mail or full-body plate armor. Because of the small force, they were sophisticated. Almost every knight had a family-born thick plate armor or mail. They were tall and strong, and they fought back and forth in the war against the people of Tianfang. However, after the revival of the Thais, such knights were gradually eliminated, and the people of Tianfang gradually became no match.
After all, it is not good for the Tianfang people to fight after formation. The desert cavalry is brave and brave, not inferior to the Cossacks, but it is not his strength when fighting after formation.
Because they wanted to fight for light cavalry, the people of Tianfang rarely wore heavy armor. Compared with mail and plate armor, they were better at creating and using prick armor.
Most of Yan Qi's troops have armors all over the world. Pirates themselves do not produce iron armor. If they do not have such ability, they are mostly plundering and acquisitions from various countries. In this era, iron armor is a heavy weapon of the military and national army, and it is very difficult to obtain.
The more than 300 people on the boats in front of him were all wearing silver armor, iron helmets, arm guards and heart guards. The full set of iron armor weighs forty or fifty kilograms. Every pirate sits carefully in the hull. Their water quality is good and can float on the sea for several days, starve to death but not drown. They have grown up by the beach since childhood, swimming and diving, and are good at tide, but now they are wearing dozens of kilograms of iron armor. If they accidentally fall into the water, they will sink to the bottom of the sea in an instant. There is no time to rescue them, and they will die too unfairly.
The boat floated up and down, and the sea water near the shore was relatively stable, and everyone paddled very quickly. In just about a quarter of an hour, Yan Qi and his 300 armored men all arrived on the shore.
Everyone was on the boat for a long time, but after getting ashore, he felt dizzy. Yan Qi himself was so. He sat down slowly on the spot, took a few sips of water, and then stood up calmly before he stood up.
Yan Qi's subordinates also stood up. These people were all cruel thugs who were about thirty years old and at least ten years at sea. Each of them had multiple lives. Not only that, they were all relatively strong, Kong Wu was powerful, and could still leapt and beat to kill with dozens of pounds of armor. They had rich experience in the battlefield and were full of courage. Yan Qi led his troops and did not like many vicious and blood-killing thugs like him. These people were quick and quick to react. If they fought with ordinary people with swords, more than ten people might be their opponents. In addition, they were wearing strong armor, holding either Tianfang sword or Tianfang scimitar, and holding shields in their hands. When they encountered the enemy, they formed a formation to kill. The countries in the South China Sea were all rampant, and more than ten countries were rampant, and there were almost no enemies in front of them.
At this time, Liu Dan came to greet him, and Yan Qi did not greet him much, saying, "Two moments later, Brother Liu ordered people to beat drums in the central army, set the flag to spread the two wings forward, the main formation of the central army slowly moved forward, I led my troops to take advantage of the opportunity to attack, Brother Liu's troops followed forward."
This is the tactic that the two of them have always cooperated with. Although Yan Qi was cruel and violent, he was not a fool. He refused to lead his elite troops to the front.
Liu Dan's subordinates were in the first formation. During the battle, Yan Qi found the weak point for the camera and led the elite subordinates to assault. Once they succeeded, they would win the opportunity.
The two of them crossed the sea, and in fact they rarely needed the joint efforts of the two, let alone the huge military formation and elite soldiers to fight.
Unless he wanted to destroy the country in the Nanyang Tour, with the strength of his two men, he still had shortcomings in fighting a regular army of at least tens of thousands of people in various countries. Even Pu Xingfeng, with the support of Mantaga, fought against the three Buddhas and the countries of Sanfoslanfang, and had many achievements, but he has not yet won a complete victory.
Liu Dan nodded and pointed forward again, saying, "Look at the Nan'an Prefecture Army, they have also lined up."
Liu Dan felt a little worried and said, "I have never seen them before."
Yan Qi is so
I have time to look at the east. It is more than two miles away, and the terrain is slightly higher, that is, before the road that stretches across the north and south, many military flags with several meters high are towering high, and five or six thousand soldiers have already formed under the flag.
Looking at the array of the government troops, there are fewer forwards, and the more they go back, the more they go back, the thin front and thick back, which is the shape of a large triangle.
Yan Qi was shocked at the sight and said, "Are the Nan'an Prefecture Army crazy? They want to attack us?"
"It looks like!" Liu Dan sneered, pointed to his left hand and said, "There are also a large open space over there. I just saw smoke and dust rising, not like a trace of people rising. I sent people to the ward to detect the cavalry, but the number was not large, and there were only five or six hundred cavalry."
"Then you don't have to be afraid of him." Yan Qi said, and then continued: "But there are no cavalry in our Nanyang area, and hundreds of cavalry are not small. They gather the left wing and send many spears to block it."
"Just defeat the front-line government army." Liu Dan said: "They are going crazy to attack us, it's just right."
Judging from what Liu Dan saw, the speed of the government army gathered was really something he had never seen in his life.
It seemed that as soon as the flag stood, a large number of soldiers appeared from the sight, and dust was flying. The gray-robed soldiers held long scepters, horizontal swords and shields, and they were marching with the flag at the speed of trotting. It took almost two quarters of an hour, or even shorter. Just over 20,000 pirates, a large triangular military formation suddenly appeared.
Of course, these government troops were not far away, but from the marching to the formation, the speed, speed of formation, and the uniformity of the army really surprised Liu Dan.
The pirates were not sure of their power, but they saw that there were not many soldiers on the other side and there were not many iron armors, and their morale was slightly higher. After all, they licked blood from the knife. No matter how many people they killed, they wanted to kill but did not want to be killed by others. Seeing that the other party was not strong, their morale was naturally high.
But Liu Dan felt fortunate that if such a military formation was strong and strong, tens of thousands of pirates would have to pay a price to get it. Although the thieves were subject to strict military law constraints, they were not a scattered sand, but they were not regular soldiers who could hold on to the sharp attacks and fight without being angry. If the government army really responded to the enemy in this way, this battle might have been fought for a long time, and the thieves had to disperse and obtain supplies to confront the enemy for a long time.
Fortunately, I don’t know why such a strong enemy set up such a sharp formation instead of a defensive formation. Liu Dan is not good at the army formation, but he never can’t even understand the array.
Yan Qi also had the same view. Seeing the opponent despising him so much, his fierce aura was aroused, but at this time he didn't care about it. Yan Qi just pulled out the scimitar on his waist, nodded, and then strode forward.
Behind Yan Qi, there were more than 300 armored infantry scattered with silver light. These infantry were all empty-faced, looking down on everything, as fierce and cruel as their masters. The more than 300 people followed Yan Qi and the big banner of the belly snake and went forward together.
Liu Dan returned to the central throne and saw Yan Qi's team wandering like a snake in the pirate formation. He was a little nervous and uneasy. In similar situations, Liu Dan had experienced such a battle many times, but there was never such a situation in front of him. He tried hard to concentrate and thought about it carefully for a while, and finally there was a vague answer.
No matter which country or army it is, there has never been such a situation in front of you.
In the silence, even the drums did not sound. Arranged in the silence, responded to the flag in the silence, and then set up a large array in the silence, waiting for the time of attack to arrive.
The silent and depressing atmosphere, the skillful movements, the waving flags, and the silent people behind the soldiers, all of this gave people a sense of unreal repression.
It seems that the army that is not composed of living people emerges from the ground, no wonder it gives people such a strong sense of depression.
"You have to see the truth from the sword and gun." Liu Dan ordered his subordinates to take more than 2,000 elite troops to the left. Half of these subordinates were used to prepare to break the formation with Yan Qi, and half of them were on the left with more than 10,000 pirates, where they were about to deal with the cavalry that might suddenly attack.
The pirates had almost never experienced the battle against cavalry, so the left wing was thick and the right wing was relatively thin.
Seeing that Yan Qi was about to come to the front, Liu Dan tilted his head and signaled that he would make people beat the drum.
There were dozens of big drums behind the formation, all of which were brought down by a arrogant ship. There was no tradition of beating drums in the South China countries, so this was naturally an experience learned from the Wei people.
At this moment, the army opposite that had been silent suddenly burst out with a roar like a tsunami collapse.
The loud voice was shocking, and Liu Dan even bulged his eyes, not knowing what had happened.
