The wind blows, the snow falls, and the Japanese come.
The vanguard sent by the Japanese pirates was less than 300 meters away from the Fengqiao camp. Although it was dark, from the torches held by the Japanese pirates, one could already see the faces of the Japanese pirates, ferocious and crazy, arrogant and bloodthirsty.
Zhu Pingan held his saber high and stared at the Japanese pirate forward without blinking, feeling a little regretful.
This group of Japanese pirates had combat experience and marched quite cautiously. They did not rush over in a swarm. The Japanese pirate army stopped about a mile in front of the Fengqiao camp and sent about six to seven hundred forwards to the camp to test it out.
Our army is false and true.
It would be great if the Japanese pirates' army rushed over in a swarm. After withstanding the Japanese pirates' offensive, they could light the fuse and detonate the gunpowder in the wine jar buried 100 meters ahead. This would definitely be enough for the Japanese pirates to drink a pot.
Unfortunately, the Japanese pirates were cautious and only sent six to seven hundred forwards. This was not worth setting off the gunpowder in the wine jar.
The gunpowder wine jar was a one-time deal. After it was detonated once, the Japanese pirates would definitely take more precautions and would not fall into the same ditch twice.
But it doesn't matter. If the Japanese pirates' vanguard is eaten, the Japanese pirates will become angry and will definitely send more troops.
While Zhu Pingan was staring at the Japanese pirate forward, Xu Hai and other Japanese chiefs were also observing the Fengqiao camp among the Japanese pirate army.
"A new low wall with a height of one person has been added to the Maple Bridge. There is also a low wall with a height of one person on the river bank. There is a three-story high sentry fort on the east slope of the Maple Bridge. There is a low wall directly in front of the Maple Bridge. There is also a low wall of the Maple Bridge.
The bridge camp was connected. Haha, the Zhejiang Army's fortifications are really a child's play. The low wall as high as one person tried to stop us. We didn't even need a ladder, we could just climb over. Except for the three-story sentry fort, there were some
Apart from the difficulty level, I think our 700 forwards can win everything else."
Chen Dong walked to the front of the army formation to observe. When he saw the Zhejiang army's low defense wall in the distance, he couldn't help but sneered and shook his head.
"Brother Chen, the Zhejiang Army is not that simple. We cannot underestimate the enemy. You see, our forwards have already rushed to a distance of 200 meters, but the Zhejiang Army is still motionless. This is to move our forwards closer and then attack, so as to improve the situation."
Lethality. Without enough courage and discipline, this is impossible. This Zhejiang army is not simple."
Xu Hai shook his head slightly, pointed at Fengqiao Camp, and said slowly, reminding Chen Dong and others not to underestimate the enemy.
"Haha, Brother Xu, the Zhejiang Army is motionless. Is it possible that they were frightened by us?"
Maye said with a smile.
"Ha ha ha ha......"
After Maye finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter.
"Maye-kun, are the Zhejiang army scared? You will know immediately. Our forward has already rushed to a distance of 150 meters."
Hojo Douzan took out a fan from his pocket at some point, opened it with a swipe, and saw the sun, moon and Big Dipper painted on it. He pointed to the forward who had rushed 150 meters in front of the Zhejiang Army's formation and said.
"This distance has already entered the range of the Zhejiang Army's crossbows. Why hasn't the Zhejiang Army made any movement?! Brother Maye's words are really serious. The Zhejiang Army was frightened by us, right? Otherwise, why didn't they fire an arrow?!"
Chen Dong watched the forwards rush to a distance of 150 meters in front of the Zhejiang army's formation. There was still no movement from the Zhejiang army, and not a single arrow was fired. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then said with half confusion and half sneer.
"Hahahaha, I was joking just now, but I didn't know that the Zhejiang Army was so unbearable that they were really scared to death!"
Maye shook her head and laughed.
"That's right, haven't we investigated? Isn't the commander-in-chief of the Zhejiang Army the new champion of the imperial court? He is only a weak scholar in his prime years. It is his first time to see such a large battle. It is normal for him to be frightened. It's just that he didn't.
Come to think of it, this guy is not even as good as Zhao Kuo, who is an armchair strategist. Zhao Kuo has been fighting with the God of Death Bai Qi for several months. This guy was frightened as soon as he met us. He is really a useless scholar."
Chen Dong thought of the situation he had investigated before and found out that the coach of the Zhejiang Army was a young scholar. He couldn't help but feel that there was a high possibility of being frightened and laughed.
"Are you really scared?!"
Xu Hai was also a little unsure at this time. The forwards had already rushed into the range of the Zhejiang Army's crossbows. Why were the Zhejiang Army still not moving?
"Haha, I just said that Brother Xu is too cautious and thinks too highly of them." Maye crossed her arms and laughed.
"吆西! The matter is settled! The men have rushed to a distance of 100 meters, and are already within the shooting range of our Japanese bows. Look, Haneda Hyoutarou in the vanguard has already led a hundred archers, drawing bows and shooting arrows, suppressing Ming Ming.
Army, escorting the rest of the troops."
Hojo Dosan said happily when he saw a hundred archers from the Japanese pirate vanguard suppressing the Zhejiang army's low wall.
"Good job!" Chen Dong and Maye also nodded happily.
Xu Hai frowned slightly, feeling vaguely that something was wrong. The Zhejiang Army should not be so incompetent.
Ahead, the Japanese vanguard had already rushed a hundred meters away from the Zhejiang army's formation. Haneda Hyōtaro and a hundred archers stopped at a distance of a hundred meters and formed a line. Each man held a Japanese bow as high as one person and shot it from his waist.
He took out an arrow from his quiver, drew his bow and shot towards the low wall. Liu Dadao hurriedly raised his shield to protect Zhu Ping'an.
Behind the low wall, the Zhejiang troops in the rear row also took out their shields and raised them at an angle to protect their comrades in front and themselves.
One hundred bows and arrows were shot sparsely, with great force, and even the target could hear it. There were more than one hundred arrows, at least ninety of them were shot in the right direction.
However, it was blocked by a low wall as high as a person, as well as shields and the Zhejiang army's cotton armor with a large protective area.
Most of the bows and arrows fired by the Japanese pirates hit the low wall. Some of the bows and arrows shot at the front door at a tricky angle were also blocked by the shields. The thrown feather arrows fell behind the low wall and nailed the unsuspecting Zhejiang army. They were also blocked by the Zhejiang army.
The cotton armor blocked it.
This round of feather arrows from the Japanese pirates did not cause any damage to the Zhejiang army.
Haneda Hyōtaro was not depressed at all. On the contrary, he still had a smile on his face, because under the cover of his feather arrows, the Japanese pirate forward had rushed more than ten meters. Another round of feather arrows would be able to cover the forward to within fifty meters.
Already.
The distance of fifty meters, which is just a few breaths, is all that matters.
"Cum again!"
Hyotaro Haneda gave a loud order.
The Japanese pirates under his command followed his order and drew their bows and shot arrows again. Just like the previous round, this round also caused no harm to the Zhejiang army. Only one unlucky Zhejiang army was hit in the hand by a bow and arrow.
Hyōtaro Haneda was very excited because the forward had already rushed within fifty meters.
"Abandon your bow and kill me!"
Haneda Hyoutarou shouted, took the lead in throwing down the long bow in his hand, drew out the Japanese sword and rushed forward. His subordinates, Okuo, also followed him, dropped the long bow, and followed him forward with the Japanese sword.
charge.
Just when Hyoutarou Haneda had taken a few steps forward, he heard Commander Akito shouting from the front, "Fire!"
Then, I saw dazzling flames lighting up the low wall in front of me, followed by a deafening "bang bang bang" sound.
Then, there was no more.
Haneda Hyōtaro looked at the Japanese pirates who had rushed to the front of the Zhejiang Army's formation about 30 meters away and fell down like a large piece of wheat. In the blink of an eye, at least about a third of the Japanese pirates fell to the ground.
