"You didn't even knock on the door when you came in. Are you in a hurry to visit the grave?"
He was a little disappointed at first, and after drinking a jar of sake, the district captain suddenly became angry and cursed.
His right hand even touched the Japanese sword placed on the table, grabbed the handle, and pulled it out with a "pop" sound.
"Next time you are so reckless, I will chop off your head."
He took the knife and made a few strokes on the soldier's neck, then put the knife into the scabbard with a "crack" sound.
"Put out the fire, put down the fire." The deputy waved his hand with a smile.
Then he looked at the soldier: "Tell me, what's wrong?"
The sudden appearance of a large number of warships on the sea has frightened the soldiers. They just walked through the gate of hell again, and the soldiers were frightened half to death.
I stood there, trembling all over, but couldn't squeeze out a single word.
"Is everything okay? It's okay. Are you seeking death by rushing in in a hurry?" The district captain's face was full of anger.
He took out the three-foot-long Japanese sword in his hand again, pointed it at the soldier's stomach, and stabbed it in with a "pop" sound.
The three-foot-long blade penetrated the soldier's back for more than two feet.
A trace of blood dripped onto the ground along the blade.
The soldier's face turned pale, and he raised his right hand, trying to point to the beach.
He opened his mouth at the same time, but still no sound came out.
"What a waste, I can't even say anything." The district captain yelled.
As if he felt uncomfortable, he held the handle of the knife with his right hand, stirred it left and right a few times, and then pulled it out suddenly.
Immediately, the soldier took out several bloody intestines from the opened hole in his stomach.
"Ah." The soldier roared heartbreakingly.
The district captain didn't take it seriously and put the tip of the knife in front of the soldier's throat.
"You know you're afraid now? You loser."
The soldier shook his head desperately, tears and snot flowing out of his nose.
He didn't want to die, but unfortunately, it was already too late!
The district captain's knife tip slowly pressed down, piercing the soldier's skin, revealing the delicate and blood-red muscles inside.
He looked at his masterpiece with excitement on his face, raising the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a cruel smile.
At this moment, suddenly, there was an explosion, interrupting this guy's pride.
Bang bang bang bang!
The explosions were loud and deafening.
Gunpowder arrows pierced through the thatched roof like rain, fell rapidly, and headed straight for where he was.
The arrows grazed the air around him, scratched his ears and cheeks, leaving burning scars.
The district captain suddenly sobered up for the most part, rolled and crawled behind the wall, and stood against the wall.
The place where he stood just now was a mess.
There were several gunpowder arrows that had not exploded and were still emitting blue smoke.
"Who?" The district captain looked around in horror.
No one answered him.
"Whoever dares to sneak up on me, get out of here." There was a burst of barking, but no one answered him.
"Damn it." The district captain kicked over the chair in front of him.
The deputy next to him, who was covered in oil stains, was so frightened that his face turned pale. He didn't even bother to take his clothes and ran behind the wall where the district captain was standing.
"These arrows were fired from the direction of the beach. Could they be enemies coming from the sea?" the deputy stammered, trembling all over.
"Beach? What's on the beach? Is it possible that there is an enemy attacking from the sea? Our enemy is the King of Zhongshan in the north." As soon as he finished speaking, he came to his senses.
Yes, the enemy is in the north, and it is dozens of miles away from here. Who shot this arrow?
Remembering the soldiers' hurried manner, the district captain rushed out of the house without saying a word.
The situation outside on the beach is exactly the same as the situation inside my house.
The arrows were inserted all over the place, leaving only the tail feathers as dense as weeds.
Hundreds of three-foot deep potholes have made the entire beach bumpy, and it no longer looks as flat as before.
Especially the fortifications built by his own team on the beach have long since ceased to exist.
Nothing could be seen except the corpses of soldiers scattered on the beach and the smoke from the burning fortifications.
"What, what's going on?" The deputy stared, as if he had seen a ghost, as if he couldn't believe his eyes.
"The enemy is attacking from the sea." The district captain shouted loudly and rushed towards the smoke that blocked his sight.
When he saw the scene on the sea through the smoke, he began to regret his actions extremely.
There were densely packed warships on the sea, and there were already dozens of feet away from the beach.
Countless soldiers, holding bows and arrows, stood on the bow of the ship.
On the warships slightly behind, colorful flags were flying, and the huge characters "明" (明) were clearly visible.
Upon discovering the presence of a living person, the soldiers on the bow of the ship nocked their arrows and aimed towards this direction.
If you don’t run now, when will you wait?
Even with the support of the bushido spirit, facing countless archers, the district captain's bushido spirit collapsed in an instant.
He lowered his head and rushed into the smoke.
As he ran, he shouted to the deputy in the distance: "Go and report to King Shannan, the Ming Dynasty is attacking."
The whistling sound of arrows came from far to near.
It was overwhelming, making the sky much darker.
Two human figures shuttled through a sea of fire, constantly closing in.
The deputy was far away from the beach, so he dashed into the dense forest in front of him and disappeared.
And the district captain obviously didn't have such a good life.
An arrow, as if it had eyes, whizzed and hit his thigh.
With a muffled groan, the district captain fell to the ground.
Pulling the sand with both hands, he still moved forward desperately.
"escape."
In his heart, there was only one word at this time.
However, when he was strong, he was already hiding from the arrows flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, what were the chances of escaping?
Just as he stretched out his right hand, before grabbing the sand, another arrow hit the back of his hand accurately with a harsh sound of breaking the wind.
The arrow passed through the palm of his hand and most of it was inserted into the sand.
Like a wooden wedge, it nailed the palm of my hand to the ground.
The district captain was cruel, broke half of the exposed arrow, and pulled it out from his palm.
The fear in my heart has overcome the pain.
Staying here is the only way to die.
Struggling to escape into the dense forest, there may be a glimmer of hope.
However, there were too many arrows.
He was crawling so much that he could no longer dodge.
Arm, left hand, back.
The arrow fell on him, making him like a hedgehog, unable to move forward anymore.
On the sea, Zhu Gaochi stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the sea of fire and smoke on the beach, and was very satisfied with the combat effectiveness of Songmen Guards.
"The Ryukyu Kingdom's coastal defense is really fragile and vulnerable." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.
"Didn't Commander Tang say that the Ryukyu Kingdom is busy with internal fighting, and its coastal defense is basically useless? However, in front of the Ming Dynasty's gunpowder arrows, how long can they hold on even if they are impregnable?" Xiao Chen smiled beside him.
Got up.
The strong combat effectiveness of the army is due to the cohesion of military morale.
The coach's confidence is the key to uniting the morale of the army.
No one dares to say what the combat effectiveness of the Ryukyu Kingdom's army is.
But this small battle has greatly increased the confidence of His Royal Highness as the coach, which is still very good.
I took the opportunity to cheer him up again, hoping that in the subsequent battle, the Ming army would be unstoppable and advance smoothly.
"Okay, okay." Zhu Gaochi was also overjoyed, "Let the vanguard troops land and see if there are any survivors. If so, learn about the Ryukyu Kingdom's military strength from their mouths."
Xiao Chen nodded, exerted force on his feet, and jumped over thinking of the ship in front of him.
Half an hour later, all the vanguard troops landed on the beach.
Xiao Chen also jumped off the bow and landed on the beach.
"Lord Ziyi, we found a survivor." A pioneer Qianhu walked towards Xiao Chen.
"Where is it? Why don't you bring it here?" Smelling the pungent smell of the fireworks, Xiao Chen looked in the direction of Qianhu's fingers.
"This man has been hit by several arrows and is already dying. My subordinates are afraid that if he is moved casually, he will die." Qianhu explained hurriedly.
"Okay, that's very thoughtful."
Xiao Chen nodded and walked towards the direction where the district captain was lying.
