Chapter 208
The sun rises from the turquoise sea. The village on the seaside is particularly quiet and peaceful.
The blue sky is cloudless, and the village by the sea is like a blue sky, wrapped in it by the green sea, as beautiful as a painting.
The smoke from the village rose, like clouds falling from the sky. Take a deep breath and it was rice porridge mixed with the smell of salted fish, which was extremely delicious and mouth-watering.
Suddenly, several warships with strange patterns appeared on the sea in the distance, destroying this intoxicating beauty. Gradually, more and more ships were getting closer and closer, leaning against the shallow water area on the shore.
"The Japanese pirates' ship!"
On a mountain beside the village, Zhu Yunyu covered his eyes with his hands and stared at the battleships with huge flags on the sea, saying coldly.
Behind him, hundreds of iron-armored guards stared coldly at the front, with a creepy sneer on their faces.
In their eyes, the Japanese pirates' warship stopped, and people kept jumping down like dumplings on the bow, and swarmed towards the shore.
"Your Highness!" Duke Tang He of Xinguo said anxiously beside Zhu Yunxiu, "Come on?"
"What's the hurry?" Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "Wait a little longer, you must wipe out the invading enemy to be perfect!"
What appeared on his face was the smile of a cat catching a mouse, but Tang He was secretly complaining in his heart.
This princely grandson really thought about it. If he wanted to let the children of the Jinghai Army kill these Japanese pirates on the sea, it would be just that, but the princely grandson insisted on waiting for the Japanese pirates to land before killing them.
There were not many defenders in Xiaguan, and the troops resisting on the shore were all temporarily pieced together local troops. These troops were half peasants and half soldiers, and were far from elite. Although the Japanese pirates were pirates, their combat effectiveness should not be underestimated. Everyone was wearing swords and armor, and they were not afraid of death when fighting.
If it is true, if something goes wrong, he can't afford it.
Immediately, Tang He quietly shook the Qianhu family next to him. Once the ambushed guards in the village could not resist the first attack of the Japanese pirates. The Jing Haijun, who was ambushing at the sea, would come over quickly.
In sight, there were more and more Japanese pirates ashore, densely packed like ants.
Zhu Yunqi's eyes became colder and colder. If he just disliked Goryeo, he would hate Japan. This country has been educated by China for thousands of years, but has never been able to repay kindness and has always dreamed of Greater East Asia.
In fact, the Goryeo people have done this dream, but they did it secretly. And these Japanese pirates not only did it, but also had to put it into reality with outrageous cruel means.
Over the past thousand years of history, the words and etiquette we give you to you, and what you give back to us is the beastly behavior like a beast.
"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxiu snorted coldly, his face turning ferocious.
In this life, I will make you not even qualified to dream.

"Siguo first!"
Among the Japanese pirates who rushed to the land, the small leader in the front took a deep breath of the air with the smell of rice, and a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
He had a standard samurai dress, used leather armor, two samurai swords inserted around his waist, and a large sword longer than him on his shoulders. Although he was short, he ran very fast.
These Japanese pirates were all real warriors, and the down-and-out warriors who lost their lords during the island civil war. Without the lords, the warriors could only become robbers. The land of the Ming Dynasty was their goal.
The Ming Dynasty was much richer than his hometown. In his hometown, only warriors could eat pearl-like snow-white rice and dried salted fish. But here, there were mountains of food and precious pigs and cows in any farmer's home.
Livestock, women, bright fabrics, exquisite jewelry and treasures, and gold, silver and copper coins.........
Thinking of this, the blood of the samurai team seemed to be boiling.
"Quickly, rush over, occupy that village, and let the warriors have a full meal!" He roared like a human voice.
The sound seemed to be contagious, and the Japanese pirates around him shouted like wild animals and ran wildly.
"Little Bird, something is wrong!"
Another samurai shouted to the samurai who led the team, "This village is so quiet!"
The villages along the coast of the Ming Dynasty were always on guard against Japanese pirates. There were watchtowers in the villages. Once Japanese pirates were found, they would ring the bell and warn them. However, since the thousands of them came ashore, the village in front of them had no reaction at all and was still so quiet.
But at this moment, the samurai who led the team was already blinded. Regardless of the dissuasion of his companions, he waved the sword in his hand and shouted, "Run in, rush!"
~~
"Bah! Fuck your mother!"
In the village, the leader of the official army hidden behind the fence spat fiercely, and two cold gazes radiated from his squinted eyes.
"Prepare!"
With a command, the men from Fujian who were ambushing the village slowly pulled away the bows and arrows in their hands and aimed in front of them.
I've been closer, I've been able to see clearly that the ferocious faces and scarlet eyes of the beasts are also filled with these beasts, terrifying screams.
"put!"
The officer waved his arms, and in an instant, the rain of arrows and rains all over the sky roared like stars falling.
Wow, among the charge of Japanese pirates, several people fell head-on into the paddy fields, and the blood stained the rice fields with clear flowing water.
"There is an ambush?"
The formation of Japanese pirates charged in a brief panic, but the next second, these warriors trained in the island civil war did not retreat but advanced.
"Continue to rush, and you can't shoot the bow and arrow when you run!"
The samurai leader named Xiaobird shouted hysterically and rushed to the front line with a long sword.
Thousands of Japanese pirates charged quickly in the rain of arrows of the Ming army, like locusts flying all over the sky.
Wow, there were two more rounds of arrow rain. In the rice fields, the clear water completely turned blood red.
"Flat shot!"
The officers of the official army looked at the charge of the Japanese pirates and shouted loudly, "The spearman is in front, the knife and axeman is in behind!"
Swoosh, archers don’t need to aim, but the arrows in their hands flattened and shot quickly at the charge of the Japanese pirates. In an instant, the Japanese pirates who rushed to the front and fell down like a wheat harvest.
However, they are not professional soldiers after all, and they face enemies like beasts. After a long time of peace, their hands are inevitably trembling and their hearts are inevitably a little frightened.
"Ming Dynasty!"
The officers leading the team shouted loudly as the Japanese pirates rushed into the depths, "Wan Sheng!"
With a loud bang, the village fence fell down, revealing the ambushing official army lineup. Two neat teams of thousands of people, with spears like forests, kept assassinating the Japanese pirates charging towards them.
Between the heaven and earth, the two sides were like two torrents, intertwined together. The Ming army was the embankment, and the Japanese pirates were the tide.
On the mountain, Zhu Yunxiu looked at the battle situation in the village at the foot of the mountain and looked cold.
"The founding of the country has only been thirty years since the founding of the country, and the military preparations of coastal areas have been so relaxed. No wonder Japanese pirates have been rampant in recent years!"
He was extremely dissatisfied with the performance of the official army in the village. The officers led the team were too rigid. Although the soldiers were cautious in military law, they were somewhat disconnected due to courage or insufficient training. They did not know how to adapt to the situation at the time of battle. They had to have width but no width, and depth but no depth.
Perhaps these local troops are stronger than the beggar army of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, at least they can stand firm in the last battle. However, compared with the powerful troops in the Beijing camp and the border, they are simply from heaven and from underground.
If the border army or the Beijing camp were here, after the three rounds of arrows, the Ming army would have already drawn their swords and rushed over and chopped them up, so how could the enemy rush in front of them first?
Tang He looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and whispered, "Your Highness, don't blame these men. The enemy of the Ming Dynasty is in the north and the south of the fish and rice town has been peaceful for a long time. Furthermore, I have formed the Jing Navy and have drawn all the elites of the various garrisons. I heard that Japan has fought a civil war for many years, and these Japanese pirates are soldiers who fought old wars..."
As he was talking, the battle situation at the foot of the mountain suddenly changed.
In the Ming army's spears, the short warriors moved around and rushed into the Ming army's approach and jumped high.
The long sword in his hand slashed into the air, and his remaining limbs were suddenly filled with blood.
At the same time, on the flanks of two thousand-person teams of the government army, hundreds of warriors holding one-man high bows and arrows stopped and pulled their bows and shot straight at the neat formation.
Unpredictable, the Ming army fell.
At this ever-changing moment, more Japanese pirates rushed up along this gap and entangled with the Ming army.
"There are more than 2,000 Japanese pirates, and the guards also have more than 2,000. The number of people on both sides is equal, but what do you think the fight is like?"
Zhu Yunxiu had a layer of frost on his face, "The long-term peace is not a reason for the relaxation of military preparations. The Ming army should destroy the enemy wither and ruin!"
The battle became increasingly fierce. Between the heaven and the earth, the sound of shouts and killings, the sound of metal and iron intertwined, screaming and roaring, shocking the heaven and earth.
Some of the Japanese pirates kept falling down, and some of the Ming army kept falling down. Cold weapons wars have always been so cruel.
"Can the officers leading the team fight? They have gained a territorial advantage and they are actually crowded together?"
Amid Zhu Yunxi's scolding, the two teams of the government army's pirates had already squeezed all the Japanese pirates into the narrow space. The people in front fought desperately, but the people behind couldn't help. The formation gradually became a little messy, but the Japanese pirates became more and more organized as they fought.
The front was stalked and the side assaulted, and even archers climbed to a high place and kept firing arrows at the back of the Ming army.
Tang He was ashamed of an old face and blurted out his swear words, "Dagain, these Xiong soldiers are embarrassing!"
He drew out a long sword from his waist, "I will go to supervise the battle myself!" After that, he said to his personal soldiers, "Full team, kill me with me!"
However, Zhu Yunxi suddenly called him, "Wait!"
~~~~
ps, at this time, Japan was at the end of the civil war between the north and the south, and its combat power was very strong. The war was not as good as some people said about armed fighting in the villages, but was attacked with real swords and guns.
In the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty, there have been almost no wars since Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country and became emperor, and the ward office will be slightly weaker.
Think about it again. During the Wanli period, Japan was able to organize nearly 100,000 troops to invade North Korea, which shows its country's war ability.
