My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 482 Landing on the Beach

As soon as Shang Shan Jianxin finished speaking, another voice laughed next to him.

"My lord, don't be afraid. The last time they used new warships at sea, they won the battle. But they are between land and sea. Once they attack the island, they will not have the advantage of warships. If they dare to come, I will come Take the lead..."

The person who spoke was another former retainer, Daxiong Chaoxiu. Shangshang Kanshin looked at the famous sword on his waist, looked at the long line of civilians in the distance and laughed, nodding his head in praise with a tense face.

However, outside his field of vision, something seemed to appear suddenly. He turned his eyes towards the southeast, and saw a small black dot moving far away. Then he quickly sent a scout over there to greet him. After a while, The scout returned, and word reached him that there was news from across the harbor.

There was a strange movement on the sea, and a large number of sails appeared.

On the sea, it is true that only the sails can be seen from a long distance, but a large number means there is a huge fleet. Shangshang Kanexin doesn't have to guess, and he knows whose warship it is.

His expression suddenly changed, he turned around and returned to the camp, mounted his war horse, called two retainers to follow, and then galloped out of the camp, with many Japanese riding horses around him.

As soon as he arrived at the harbor, a scout came hurriedly from the dock, shouting at him loudly as he ran: "Xia people's ship!"

How can it be? !

With doubts in his mind, Shangshang Jianxin rode his horse to the pier, then dismounted and walked up to the nearest sentry tower. He threw the soldiers aside and leaned against the guardrail to look toward the southeast.

With just one glance, he subconsciously tightened the handle of the knife. In the wide field of vision, the sky was bright at noon, but at the end where the sky and the sea were connected, there were dark clouds, and the sea level below was like a black line of the tide. Yanmian, that is a huge fleet, slowly changing its formation, forming a straight line across the sea.

On Tsushima Island, Kamishiro Kanshin clenched his fists. At this moment, he looked at the spread out Xia Kingdom's warships and the numerous sails. Without another word, he turned around and walked straight down the guard tower and handed down the order. Let everyone, including Japanese craftsmen, take up arms.

On the sentry tower, the two of them faced the Xia Kingdom's fleet coming in like a tidal wave. They felt a little bit incomprehensible, and even... felt ridiculous.

"Get ready to fight!"

On the treasure ship, under the white helmet, cold eyes looked at the outline of the island in the distance. Zhou Yu tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and then drew the sword and raised it to the sky. There was already a voice shouting on the big ship: "Drum, get ready." Seize the beach!”

In front of the treasure ship, amidst the passionate sound of war drums, on the Qinglong and Huya warships lined up in front, barefoot boatmen frantically shook their long oars, churning wildly in the sea water, speeding up the already fast-sailing warships. speed.

Gan Ning stuck out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

As for the huge treasure ship, an imperial flag with a white dragon pattern on a black background fluttered in the wind. Twenty warships unfolded in front of it, and each sail was swollen to the extreme. They quickly cut through the rolled-up ships. The waves, without any intention of stopping, rushed straight towards this side.

On the warships on the left and right, Elsa was swinging her sword and axe, spinning back and forth with her wrists. The pirate leader Rafael was shirtless, throwing a boatman away, and stepped forward to swing the long oar himself.

A man named Ohkuma Asahide and another retainer Shimazu Tadashi rushed to the sentry tower and glanced toward the southeast. The picture reflected in their eyes made their pupils shrink. The densely packed warships came in the wind and waves, and the broken The waves sounded together, a rumbling roar, and countless rolling waves sank beneath the warship.

Behind them were eight large ships. Tang soldiers were making final preparations in the cabins, constantly inspecting various weapons armed to the teeth. From time to time, contemptuous words about the height of the Japanese were heard among each other.

Boom! Boom! Dong dong dong...

"How did they do it?"

At this moment, Shimazu Tadanao and Ohkuma Asahide were still talking about their joking words. The next moment, there was a "boom" of cannons, and an iron bullet flew towards the harbor from the distant sea and fell straight towards a newly built building. In the house that got up.

In an instant, more iron cannons rang out one after another! Boom boom boom boom…

Dense black shadows rushed into the sky, covered by a black cloud, and then poured down.

The whole harbor suddenly burst into mourning.

The Xia army came too fast and rushed towards them completely unreasonably. After being attacked by overwhelming iron shells and artillery, the Japanese ships docked at the port also left the port one after another. They probably wanted to resist for a while at sea and delay They land.

Almost at the same time, Kamishiro Kanenobu had someone shoot a whistle arrow for help, igniting the beacon fires on the coast, allowing the fleet from the north of Tsushima Island to come for reinforcements.

……

The waves submerged beneath the massive hull.

The advance of twenty Qinglong and Huya warships was like the rolling tide line. The fierce sea wind passed across the island, and the iron cannons fired wildly.

Bombard Tsushima harbor!

When he saw more than ten ships rushing out of the port in the distance, Gan Ning sneered and waved his hand: "Let Barry and Elsa each lead five warships to entangle them!"

What he was waiting for was for the Japanese to send ships out to fight.

The general's order was conveyed in the crowd, and after a while, ten warships separated from the horizontal fleet and headed towards the waters of Tsushima Port.

Gan Ning here, when he saw the two sides beginning to contact and fight, immediately ordered the remaining ten warships to change direction and reach the coast before the wind ended.

The ships coming in the wind and waves rushed towards the ferry that stretched fifteen miles away. As the formation gradually changed, eight cargo holds were interspersed among the warships. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty stayed in the cabin, keeping their posture of kicking on the ground and running wildly at any time. They spit into the palms of their hands. He rubbed the saliva vigorously, and tightened his grip on the handle of the knife and crossbow.

On the island in the distance, the intentions of Xia's fleet were naturally discovered. A large number of soldiers and horses gathered here. But due to the haste, there was no port here, and there were no redundant warships to divide them to obstruct them. They could only Start a ground battle with the opponent on the coast!

But what these Japanese people didn't know was that the Tang Army soldiers in the cabin were never afraid of ground battles!

The Qinglong and Huya warships slowly stopped on the sea, unfolded their hulls, and bombarded the Japanese formations on the island. Eight cargo ships rushed directly to the coast with the risk of running aground, and their hulls shook violently in the diving area. For a moment, but then the baffles on both sides fell outward, revealing the blocked hatch behind.

Li Xuanba put on his iron helmet and picked up the drum, urn and golden hammer. His voice roared in the dense crowd.

"Zhu Erlang——"

"exist!"

In the cabin, densely packed soldiers armed to the teeth held shields, spears, and crossbows in their hands, and they all roared in response.

In an instant, a powerful and tall body, carrying a pair of huge hammers, stepped out of the hatch. Li Xuanba smiled ferociously and touched the hammer, causing sparks to burst out and his voice roaring.

The drum beats, the golden hammer points toward the outside of the ship!

"Blood flows like a river, leaving not a blade of grass -"

Eight large cargo ships, with thousands of figures, rushed out of the cabin one after another, rushing like wolves and tigers through the water, towards the Japanese army arrayed in the field.
