On the vast sea, the blue waves are shining and the sea breeze is blowing on your face.
A large mass of black ships were advancing slowly, their sails were hunting, but under the warm sunshine, they were clearly emitting a chill, silent and indifferent, giving people an invisible pressure, as if it was a deadly ghost ship drilled out of hell.
Three trenches were dug on the shoal, about one foot deep and one foot wide. There were passages in the middle for people to enter and exit. Behind the trenches was the army waiting solemnly. Yuchi Gong stood among them, calmly watching the slowly approaching ships.
The ship had a deep draft and could not sail into the shoal and rushed directly to the shore. It gradually stopped, but the people on the ship did not jump off immediately and start a charge. This scene made Yu Chigong's heart skip a beat - the people who charged randomly were just a mob, organized,
A disciplined army is a regular army.
"Is it really true that the imperial army came here pretending to be pirates?"
"Is the imperial court going to take action against the King of Han?"
Thoughts flashed through his mind one by one. Yu Chigong's eyes narrowed and he shouted: "Don't panic, just follow my instructions. Just fight as usual and keep it safe."
The soldiers remained indifferent but clenched their weapons.
At this time, a shout came: "But the Duke of E?"
When Yuchi Gong heard the shouting, which seemed familiar, he was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and shouted: "Who is coming?"
"Duke E, the Holy One has decreed that as long as you lead the army and return to the imperial court, let bygones be bygones, and be granted the title of General of Hussars, and control the world's troops. The Holy One also said that the Duke of E is a loyal man with great military exploits, and should not have ended up like this.
Take one step and hope that the Duke of E will rein in his horse and turn back in time."
Yuchi sneered and said: "What if I don't accept it?"
"Then there will be no grass growing on the island today!" The voice sounded again, a bit more cold and domineering.
"If the imperial court unites with the Japanese country and the pirates attack me, aren't they afraid that the news will spread and the reputation will be damaged?"
"The Duke of E is joking. I'm asking for an envoy. How could the navy commander join forces with the Japanese and pirates? Wouldn't it be ridiculous for the dignified Duke of E to frame him like this? I'll give you ten breaths to think about it. If you don't surrender, don't blame the court for being unkind.
If I am unjust, then not a single blade of grass will grow on the island."
Yuchi Gong was extremely angry and laughed back: "Do you dare to do this, Li Tai? He is worthy of my loyalty to someone who kills the king and his father. If you have the ability, use it."
"The Duke of E is indeed a brave man and has no fear of death. Why don't you give your family a way to survive?"
"It's you who should leave a way for your family to survive." Yu Chigong sneered disdainfully: "With the power of the King of Han, who in the world can resist him? When the King of Han frees up his hands, he will definitely take care of Li Tai's son. How will you escape by then?
I will be waiting for you down there, hahaha!"
"you--"
"Arrogant, attack!"
The other party was furious and shouted loudly.
"Dong dong dong!"
The war drums sounded, shaking the sea and urging people to fight.
Countless people jumped off the ship and waded forward through the water. Their speed was a little slow due to the influence of the water. However, the archers on the ship took action almost at the same time. A large number of arrows flew forward, blocking the sky and the sun, and cast a cloud of arrows on the beach.
dark clouds.
Almost at the same time, Yuchi shouted respectfully: "Dodge the arrows!"
The soldiers jumped into the ditch in front, and the arrows flew in an arc, making it difficult to avoid on the ground. But it was different when jumping into the ditch. Unless they fell vertically, they could not hit at all.
Yuchi Gong jumped down from the ditch and climbed up a wooden springboard. He looked forward and saw the second round of arrows coming. This time he shot from a high angle. The arrows went straight to the ditch, but the angle was still not enough. Countless feathers were fired.
The arrow landed on the earth wall opposite the trench and did not hurt the soldiers hiding below.
Perhaps realizing that this would not work, the third round used projectile arrows. The arrows soared into the sky, then fell down after reaching the commanding heights, and ran straight to the trench. After two rounds of arrow attacks, the soldiers in the trench had already reacted and raised their shields to cover themselves.
Above.
"Duh duh duh!"
The sound of a series of arrows hitting the shield was heard. A few arrows that fell into the trench were blocked, and most of the arrows hit the ground on both sides of the trench. There was no accuracy in this kind of projectile, and hitting the trench was all a matter of luck.
But the imperial troops did not stop and continued to shoot.
Yuchi Gong remained motionless, staring intently at the oncoming troops. His majestic body gave people confidence. The soldiers looked at Yuchi Gong and felt inexplicably more at ease.
Seeing the imperial army rushing onto the beach and rushing towards them, Yuchi Gong's lips curved into a sneer of disdain. The imperial archers had already shot five rounds, and their arms were strained. Three more rounds at most would be too much for them. It was his turn to take action.
He shouted: "Archers, listen to the order and shoot from behind!"
Everyone has been trained to shoot upwards in the trench. Knowing the angle, they all opened their big bows and aimed at a height of about one foot above the trench. The arrow shot from this angle can reach nearly 100 meters and cover the front of the beach. This is a common practice.
Countless.
"put!"
"Boohoo!"
A large fluffy arrow whizzed away, drawing a parabola in the void, slamming into the rushing imperial army, knocking down a large number of people.
The soldiers could not see the shooting effect and were too lazy to care about it. They continued to shoot according to their usual training. This invisible shooting method greatly reduced the stress of the recruits and made them more calm.
After three rounds of feather arrows, Yuchi Gong saw that the results were good, but there were too many imperial troops, most of them rushed up, and decisively ordered: "Lower down, shoot!"
The archers lowered their angles one after another, and their arrows almost flew out of the ground above the trench.
The angle was small, and the flight distance of the arrow was shortened. It landed right in the middle of the rushing imperial army, knocking down a large area again. Yu Chigong looked at this scene and praised it. It was indeed created by the invincible King of Han. This kind of
The attack method of fixed ruler is really powerful.
After two rounds of arrows, the imperial troops rushed to a distance of 60 meters and were already shooting at no angle at the bottom of the ditch. Yuchi Gong shouted: "Come on stage!"
The soldiers climbed onto the diving platform one after another. The platform was about two meters above the bottom of the ditch. There were steps to go up. When people were on the platform, the ground was level with their chests. They could clearly see the imperial troops rushing up. There was no need for Yuchi Gong to give orders. Everyone followed the usual routine.
Training to shoot quickly and freely.
Shooting directly from a distance of fifty or sixty meters, the accuracy greatly increased. After a hail of arrows, people lay on the ground.
After three rounds of arrow rain, the imperial army rushed to a position more than ten meters in front of the first trench. Yuchi Gong decisively ordered: "Beat the drum, send the signal!"
"Dong, dong dong!"
The roar of drums, one long and two short, spread across the battlefield.
The sword and shield soldiers hiding in the trench quickly took action and rushed along the communication trench to the front trench.
Almost at the same time, the imperial army also rushed to the edge of the trench, but they were dumbfounded. The trench was one foot wide, which was more than three meters. It was impossible to jump over it, and it was impossible not to jump. If you stopped, you would be a living target.
A flurry of feather arrows roared in, and countless people fell down. Some people screamed and fell down after being hit by arrows. The imperial army panicked and finally rushed up. Without military orders, retreating is a deserter, not to mention retreating is giving your back to the opponent.
, no doubt like a living target, they all gritted their teeth and jumped down.
