Looking at the neatly dressed soldiers in formation in front of them, Tachibana Enho and his retainer Nomura Nobuyasu couldn't help but look at each other.

At this point, how could they not know which army they were facing?

Compared with weapons, armor is the most important equipment on the battlefield.

The navy's armor is even more demanding. Infantry and cavalry can stack thick armor to increase their survival rate on the battlefield.

This is not the case for naval soldiers. In this water battle, if you wear a suit of iron armor and accidentally fall into the water, you can imagine the consequences.

Not everyone in this world is as talented as Lin Renzhao and Xie Wenjie.

Therefore, naval armor must be lightweight leather armor. In order to make up for the poor defense of leather armor, the leather armor must be painted with multiple layers of paint.

The price of lacquer in ancient times was not cheap. A set of lacquer leather armor for navy soldiers was no less expensive than infantry armor.

Although the Fujiwara clan was still making up the lie that Yamato was the number one nation, those of them who fought in Goryeo had more or less understood some of the situation, but they refused to expose it because of the Fujiwara clan's face.

Except for the Yu Dynasty, which was no less popular among the Goryeo people than the Tang Dynasty, which country had the capital to equip all its soldiers with lacquer armor so extravagantly?

There was fear in Ju Yuanbao's eyes, and he said in horror: "How did the Yu Kingdom come so quickly?"

If I had known this, I wouldn't have taken this credit.

Nomura Nobuyasu put up an awning with his hands and said in a deep voice: "The other side doesn't seem to have many soldiers?"

Tachibana Yuanbao nodded silently and said: "They are probably the vanguard troops who came to explore the road. They seized our boat, obviously they don't want us to run out and reveal their traces."

Nomura Nobuyasu said in shock: "So, their large army is still behind? What should we do?"

"No matter what, destroy them first and then..." Tachibana Yuanbao came to the conclusion through his teeth: "We have no food, there are Yu people in front of us, and there is Tamna Kingdom behind us. We don't know when the Yu Kingdom's army will come.

Only by destroying them can we find a way to survive."

There was no thought of surrender in Tachibana Enho's mind. The fear, anger and despair in his eyes became as ferocious as a wolf, revealing the madness of risking death to survive.

Nomura Nobuyasu also said: "I am willing to die for you."

Tachibana saved his horse. The Japanese horses were short, and charging into the battle alone would be as good as death. It was better to fight on foot. He raised his Japanese sword high and shouted: "The descendants of Amaterasu, with the blessing of the Emperor, will escape from these wastes."

Step over your body!"

Without any hesitation, Tachibana Yuanbao led his private soldiers of the Wu family and roared towards Donghai Marine Chengfeng Camp with his peasant soldiers.

The private soldiers of the Japanese military family were extremely brave, roaring like a pack of hungry wolves, and full of momentum.

Tachibana Enho was at the head of the line. Looking at the soldiers advancing like a wall on the opposite side, he felt something strange in his heart: the enemy's lineup was too separated.

The front part moves forward like a wall, but the rear part stops moving forward, and a gap opens in the front and back parts.

Tachibana Yuanbao also had a certain understanding of military affairs, and he instantly understood the opponent's intentions and shouted: "Put up your shield, don't retreat."

He took a wooden shield from the soldier beside him, but a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

The opponent's front team and back team are too separated. As long as you tear apart the opponent's front team in one breath, the crossbowmen behind will naturally be vulnerable.

As he thought about this, a strange and strange sharp sound penetrated his eardrums, and a black arrow shot through the air.

It was safe for Ju Yuan not to laugh out loud. He was born with excellent eyesight and was good at bow and arrow. He had a team of archers in his hands and had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats. However, the soldiers on the opposite side were well-equipped and bows and arrows were ineffective, so they decided to fight hand-to-hand.

In his experience, the bow must have a certain number of stones and the arrow must have a certain weight to have sufficient power.

The arrow on the other side is so small, how powerful can it be?

Could it be that the people of the Yu Kingdom all wear embroidered pillows and look tall, far inferior to the short and capable people of the Japanese Kingdom?

The thought flashed through his mind.

But what happened next made him feel chilled.

Small sharp arrows flew like locusts, and nearly a hundred private soldiers of the Wu family fell directly to the ground. Some were wailing and wailing on the ground, and some fell to the ground without even making a sound, such as his retainers, and others.

Nomura Nobuyasu, famous for his bravery.

Tachibana Enbo looked at the body of Nomura Nobuyasu beside him. The shield in his hand was broken into two pieces, and the small arrow hit his head, and penetrated more than an inch into his forehead.

That tiny crossbow arrow actually penetrated the wooden shield?

He looked back and saw that this was no exception.

Many of the soldiers who were hit by arrows were holding shields, but without exception, the wooden shields could not withstand the tiny arrows. Not only that, the arrows penetrated the wooden shields, and also penetrated the people behind the wooden shields with huge force.

bodies, many of which were shot through soldiers wearing inlaid iron armor...

What kind of weapon is this?

Tachibana Yuanbao couldn't say a word, and he didn't make contact yet, but he lost more than a hundred people with just a wave of arrows?

An emotion called fear surged into my heart.

The charge was immediately blocked.

The private soldiers of the Wu family were frightened by this terrible arrow rain, let alone the peasant soldiers.

The timid ones were so frightened that they fell to the ground, or even slowed down their hind legs.

The lineup collapsed instantly!

Tachibana Yuanbao's heart is bleeding. The Japanese country is small and poor, and his family's private soldiers are the wealth accumulated over generations. In this expedition, he bears the expectations of four generations of the Tachibana family...

"The enemy is close and there is no way to retreat. Only by approaching the enemy quickly can we have a chance to win back!"

He roared, holding the Japanese sword high and rushed towards the Yu army soldiers who were less than twenty steps away.

On the other side, Lu Jiang did not participate in the command, but muttered to herself. She even took out a pen and paper and wrote down what she thought in detail on the paper. At the end, she said with emotion: "Use this divine arm bow to deal with the Japanese."

Thief, you are really overqualified."

The Divine Arm Bow was a weapon used by the imperial court to deal with the Khitan heavy-armored cavalry, but it had not experienced actual combat since its emergence.

The actual combat effect is not clear. In this battle, Luo Youdu specially allocated a thousand divine arm bows to the Donghai Navy and the Nanhai Navy, allowing them to use them on the battlefield. At the same time, they recorded their experience and effects for improvement.

This battle was the first time that the Divine Arm Bow was used in actual combat. It was so powerful that it shocked even Lu Jiang, a young general in his seventies, not to mention the enemy Ju Yuanbao.

But he also saw some problems and recorded them.

At this time, Ju Yuanbao on the battlefield had already reached a point of battle with the Donghai Navy led by Nong Hao.

The morale of the Japanese army was taken away by the divine arm bow, while the Donghae Navy was inspired by the divine weapon and firmly took the initiative on the battlefield.

Tachibana Enbo slashed an enemy back three steps with one knife, and then slashed another person in the abdomen with his knife, and then slashed him back.

The two people on the opposite side rushed towards him again as if nothing had happened.

Tachibana Yuanbao screamed in anger, and thrust forward suddenly, knocking the enemy in front of him to the ground, but the soldier he knocked down immediately stood up...

Tachibana Yuanbao was going crazy. He had always cut people like melons and vegetables, but this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

Little did he know that the improvements made by Japanese swords to Tang swords were superfluous.

Perhaps because their armor was not strong, the Japanese wanted the sharpness of their swords, so they changed their Japanese swords into curves to facilitate cutting.

Against soldiers with no armor or simple leather armor, or even bamboo armor, the Japanese sword's lethality is indeed better than that of the Tang straight sword.

However, against iron armor or large patent leather armor, whether it is a Tang straight sword or a Japanese sword, the lethality will plummet. However, the armor-breaking ability brought by the Tang straight sword's thrust is far beyond the Japanese sword.

Therefore, when Ju Yuanbao slashed the soldiers of Tamluo Kingdom, it was a massive killing, but when he slashed at the Donghai Marines who were equipped with large patent leather armor, it only caused a wound.

Fortunately, he met the Donghai Navy. If he met any of the heavy-armored infantry from the Imperial Camp Division, the Front Division, or the Guards Division, Tachibana Yuanbao would cut down the opponent with one strike.

The counter-shock force flew away.

In the Korean War during the Wanli period in history, the armor of the Ming army destroyed countless Japanese swords.

A figure appeared beside him, Tachibana Enbo instinctively slashed at it with a sword, and there was a clang.

Ju Yuanbao's body stiffened and his mouth became numb.

Looking closely, he saw that his Japanese sword had struck a fist-sized pumpkin hammer.

The sharp Japanese knife hit an iron lump and curled its mouth.

Tachibana Yuanbao was furious and slashed with his sword again.

Nong Hao directly raised his arm, used his forehead protection to resist Ju Yuanbao's knife, and hit Ju Yuanbao on the head with a hammer.

Nong Hao held up the golden melon hammer stained with brains and shouted: "The leader of the thieves is dead, and those who surrender will not be killed!"

**********

When Lu Jiang and Nong Hao defeated Ju Yuanbao's troops with overwhelming force, a vigorous battle also started in Jincheng County, Jiaozhou, Haidong Peninsula.

The people who commanded this battle were Chen Chuyao and Jiang Gongzhen who had escaped from Kaicheng.

After escaping from Kaicheng that day, Chen Chuyao fled to Jincheng with Jiang Gongzhen and Goryeo Crown Prince Wang Min.

Jincheng was the eastern capital of Goryeo and the former capital of North Korea.

In the past, Wang Jian of Silla usurped the throne and established Goryeo. In essence, Goryeo was a dynasty established by Silla people.

Silla has deep roots in Gyeongju and hides here to facilitate future uprisings.

Chen Chuyao hid in the mountains and contacted the old Silla people in Jinzhou City. With the support of the other party, he collected the escaped and separated soldiers and gathered a lot of power.

As the tragic situation in Kaesong was revealed, the numerous crimes committed by the Japanese country in various places were also confirmed one by one.
