Datang Longya

Chapter 1040 The era of bravery is gone forever
It's not interesting to overturn a few fishing boats. It wasn't until I saw the military ship Li Shimin that I became interested.

Although sitting in a wheelchair, Li Shimin still insisted on sitting on the deck and watching the battle with a telescope.

Seeing the military ship, Li Shimin was overjoyed and said to Zhang Judao: "Hurry up and catch up, and sink them before they escape to the shore!"

Zhang Judao nodded and gave instructions to the bannerman on the top of the chimney.

To Li Shimin's surprise, the fleet did not speed up, but rearranged its formation, changing from a frontal formation to a line.

Bursts of gunpowder smoke rose from those ships, and thunderbolts as thick as thighs flew out with gunpowder smoke.

It didn't take long for the black shadow of the ship in front of the Japanese country to be completely submerged by the flames.It took a few seconds for the sound to pass.

Li Shimin looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. The Thunder Arrow shot by the Ba Niu Crossbow was already a magic weapon. Now, even without the use of the Ba Niu Crossbow, the Thunder Arrow would fly to the place by itself.

The masked commander of the Jinglei Division stood up and explained to Li Shimin: "Marshal, this is the new achievement of the Jinglei Division the year before last. These Thunderbolt arrows do not need to be shot with a crossbow. As long as they are calibrated and activated, they will reach the target to attack. place. And now it’s not that the fuze will explode when it burns out, but it will be activated only when it is hit by a violent impact. Therefore, even if it’s raining, it won’t delay its use, at most it’s just that the accuracy of the attack has dropped.”

The leader of the Jinglei Division sounds very young, so it's no wonder he is wearing a mask.Zhang Zhongqing wears a mask to hide his terrifying appearance, and the follow-up commander of Jinglei Division wears a mask to cover up his appearance.

As the leader of Jinglei Division, no one knows better than them how critical the Jinglei Division is.Since the day they decided to join Jinglei Division, they have been mentally prepared to devote their lives incognito and silently.And in some occasions where it is necessary to show up, they will also wear masks, and even their voices must be disguised.

At this time, it was already close to the land, and the return volume of the ocean carried the fragments of the Japanese sea ship, and occasionally some large ones hit the hull of the iron-clad ship to make a little noise.

On the wide sea, there were only a few sporadic Japanese who were not dead, but they quickly shut up, and the wooden crossbow arrows shot from the boat accurately hit their vital points.

Li Shimin didn't know what he was thinking, he seemed a little sad.

But this sadness disappeared without a trace when the fleet docked.

This time the Tang army chose to land in Daban. After Silla Baekje occupied half of Honshu Island, the kingdom of Wa moved here.As the real rear of Japan, Osaka is not afraid of the flames of war at all. Even if the land war is corrupt, the royal family can choose to take a boat to occupy the outer islands.

In terms of shipbuilding, although Waguo is just as rubbish, it has a lot of advantages over Silla Baekje.

What's more, there is a peninsula land on both sides of the big board, even if someone intends to come by sea, in front of these two outstretched arms, they can only be hugged tightly and strangled to death.

It's just that Suga Jiro probably never thought that Datang would send troops to attack them, nor did he think that Datang would aim at this place and hit Huanglong directly.

As for the terrain occupied by the big board, even the most timid soldiers don't pay attention to it.

, At this time, an army has gathered on the land, and roughly built fortifications.In the cloudless weather, the sound of thunder and arrows exploding was too clear.

When there were still a few hundred meters away from the shore, Zhang Judao walked up to Li Shimin and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to start the landing operation?"

Li Shimin knew that there was a specialization in the art industry, so he never interfered with Zhang Judao's command of the East China Sea Fleet, but only grasped the direction of the overall situation.

Looking at the Japanese soldiers on the shore, Li Shimin nodded: "Let's start landing, and strive for a quick victory. I don't want that emperor to escape."

Li Shimin never thought of wasting too much time in the Wa country, so he ordered to take the big board directly, and capture the king first.

Zhang Judao took the order and issued the order to land and fight.

Afterwards, the Thunder Arrow landed first, and a terrifying explosion immediately exploded in the array of Japanese soldiers.The flat coast suddenly became a hell of potholes.

As the bombing progressed, the fleet began to release small boats, and the marines boarded the small boats smoothly against the wind waves blowing from the shore.

The bombardment of the ships did not cease until the Marines had gained a firm footing.By this time, blood was flowing on the shore.Even if there are lucky ones who escaped the bombing, seeing the well-equipped soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, they can't arouse the desire to fight.

"coward!"

Li Erniu's youngest son, Li Li, looked at the fleeing Japanese soldiers and spat.

Er Gouzi's son just kicked the dead body on the ground, and said helplessly, "Smart people choose to run away. Look at their armor, it's really pitiful."

Li Li also looked down at the armor of the Japanese soldiers, and snorted contemptuously.

Compared with the well-equipped Tang soldiers, the Japanese soldiers are not even beggars.Until now, they are still wearing the armor that Datang eliminated and traded with them.The oldest of these armors can even be traced back to the Daye period.Nowadays, the armors of many Japanese soldiers have holes embroidered, and the armor leaves are also very messy, and many places are supplemented with bamboo pieces.

On the other hand, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, everyone has a pair of excellent armor. As long as a leaf is lost, they can apply to the military supply for replenishment. As for the rusty ones, there is no need to polish them at all. It's fine.

In terms of weapons, the iron knives that the Japanese people are proud of are not even good enough for chopping firewood compared with horizontal knives and other weapons.Not to mention that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were basically equipped with Thunderbolt and Thunderbolt Arrows, and every fifty soldiers were also equipped with the Thunderbolt Cannon newly developed by the Thunderbolt Division.

Dramatically, those Japanese soldiers who fled rushed over after a while, because there were a lot of reinforcements behind them.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers swarming up like lunatics, Li Li sighed and picked up the thunder cannon.
Looking at the Japanese soldiers who fell to the ground after a burst of explosions and dashes, Li Shimin sighed and put down the binoculars.

"Gunpowder weapons are the decisive force now. Those guys can use the gunpowder weapons in their hands to end the battle. The reason why they put them away later and switched to hand-to-hand combat is that even these soldiers think that unilateral massacres are meaningless. "

Not only Li Shimin lamented, Cheng Yaojin also couldn't help sighing.

Gone is the era when bravery determined everything in the past. In the past, the right time, place and people were the focus of combat, followed by equipment supplies. In the future, equipment will occupy the entire space of war.
