Chapter 75 Feeling Hurt
Zhuge Xiaosheng gave an order, and more than 200 soldiers on the Fengyi rushed forward to meet them with shouts!
The two sides collided head-on like two raging tides, and immediately transformed into a blood-red torrent!
These Japanese soldiers were all fishermen. They grew up on boats and had undergone rigorous training in water warfare, so fighting on boats was almost like walking on the ground.
Each one is agile, brave and good at fighting, and fearless of death!
However, because the Dazhou Navy was just established, most of the soldiers were selected from the previous field troops.
The experience in water battles, especially naval battles, is quite inexperienced. The torrents generated by the contact between the two ships caused the hull to shake violently, and everyone felt that they had no roots to stand on.
In addition, the armor on his body is also quite heavy. Once he slips and falls on the ground, it is very difficult to even get up.
In addition, in the comparison of the weapons of the two sides, they are also at a disadvantage.
The sailors of the Great Zhou all used broad-backed machetes, although they were powerful, they were relatively cumbersome.
The Japanese sailors used the Japanese sword, which was long and narrow, and relatively light, which was extremely flexible in close combat.
Dongying Kingdom's iron and steel smelting technology is currently top-notch in the world. Their Japanese swords are extremely rigid and flexible, and they will not break when bent to 90 degrees.
And the blade is also extremely sharp, it can almost be said to cut iron like mud!
Fortunately, the armor on the sailors of the Great Zhou Dynasty was very strong. Although the Japanese sword was sharp, it was difficult to cut through it with one or two swords.
The armor on the Dongying sailors is relatively simple, it is made of a kind of strong rattan soaked in oil, not only very hard, but also very light.
In order not to affect the combat, they had almost no protection for their lower bodies, and they wore light straw sandals with strong grip on their feet.
Unlike the sailors of the Great Zhou who all had thick cowhide boots, even if they were inconvenient to move, they would slip on the deck full of water...
Someone asked, why not involve non-slip soles? Don't forget that this is ancient times, rubber has not been invented yet!
Then why not get spiked shoes? If the deck is trampled, you are responsible!
When the two armies are handed over, these advantages and disadvantages are immediately reflected, not to mention that the enemy is outnumbered.
In a short while, forty or fifty sailors of Dazhou fell down, and the remaining one hundred or so were surrounded by several times the enemy and hacked wantonly in the middle of the deck. The situation was quite bad.
"That's amazing! General Soldier Zhuge, please let your subordinates bring the archers down to support the brothers!" Liu Haishan cried out, his eyes tearing open from the archery tower.
Now the two armies are entangled together, and the archers have lost their use. They have put down their bows and replaced them with short knives, ready to fight at any time!
"Where is Wei Yuntian?" Zhuge Xiaosheng ignored him, but called Wei Yuntian loudly.
"The subordinate is here!" Wei Yuntian stepped forward immediately.
"The brothers in the navy have put their lives to the test, but none of them is afraid to back down. We Xichang can't just watch! I order you to lead all the Xichang brothers down to fight them to the death and let them see our Xichang. It's amazing!"
"If we win, our boss will give us a drink. If we all die, the boss and I will go down to accompany you later."
"The big guys are touching their crotch, is it a man with eggs? If you are a man, don't be ashamed, let our boss face shame!"
Zhuge Xiaosheng's impassioned talk about mobilization before the war greatly encouraged all the Xichang brothers, and Xiao Chen nodded repeatedly when he heard it.
Unexpectedly, he uttered such a foul word later, and instantly felt that he was hurt!
Who are you kidding!
It's not that you look down on who?
Your boss and I used to have a bright face, but now it's all lost!
Sure enough, the way the big guys looked at Xiao Chen together was very strange.
"Zhuge General Soldier, my boss also wants to go down to kill the enemy, fight side by side with the brothers, live and die together!" Now that Zhuge Xiaosheng is the commander in chief, he, Xiao Chen, also has to obey his orders.
Are you saying that Xiao Chen is not afraid of death? Of course I'm afraid.
Who is not afraid of death except lunatics and fools?
But he also knows how critical the current situation is!
If the big guys don't work together to risk their lives together, they will all die!
Now half of the more than 200 officers and soldiers on the Fengyi have been killed or injured, and although the rest are still struggling, they can't last long.
Unless it is a last resort and when it is necessary to burn jade and stone together, archers in the navy must never participate in close combat.
So if Liu Haishan took them to make up, but Xiao Chen's Xichang brothers still waited and watched, the soldiers below would definitely be disappointed.
As long as there is one who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and raises his arms, the morale of the army will be in chaos, and the consequences will be disastrous!
The reason why Zhuge Xiaosheng asked the brothers from Xichang to step up was because he also realized this.
"Okay! Boss, you die first. After you die, brother dies. When we get to the bottom, brother, I will follow you!" Zhuge Xiaosheng pondered for a while, and agreed.
Did all the hundreds of people on the roof blow up?
This is absolutely impossible!
You, Mr. Xiao, are the backbone of all of us. If you die in battle, what shall we do?
It is enough to have you, today the brothers will save you even if they risk their lives!
"Hahaha, I never thought that I, Xiao Chen, could die in battle with so many good brothers today, what a joy!" Xiao Chen looked up to the sky and laughed out loud!
Regardless of everyone's obstruction, he pulled out the Xiuchun knife and strode down the boat building.
Wei Yuntian and other Xichang brothers followed closely.
"What are you still doing in a daze, go kill the enemy with Master Xiao!" Liu Haishan waved his hand, and followed with a few soldiers.
"The brothers of Jin Yiwei are not softies!" Chen Ming yelled, drew his sword out of its sheath, and ran to follow. Dozens of Jin Yiwei also followed, screaming.
In other words, the atmosphere has been enhanced here, who has the nerve not to risk his life?
So a group of archers were very embarrassed, and they stepped forward to challenge Zhuge Xiaosheng.
"Get the rocket ready and listen to my orders." Zhuge Xiaosheng remained calm.
"My lord?" The archers were stunned for a moment.
"The imperial concubine cannot fall into the hands of the enemy, and the bodies of our brothers cannot be allowed to be ruined by them." Zhuge Xiaosheng said flatly.
The archers instantly understood what he meant.
If you lose the battle, you will be burned together!
Xiao Chen rushed to the front, but was quickly squeezed to the back. Wei Yuntian and Xichang brothers surrounded him, and he refused to let go even after being kicked several times by him.
"You bastards, get the hell out of here, don't hinder me from killing people!" Xiao Chen was moved in his heart, but cursed loudly.
Said that the boss is so murderous, how embarrassing is it for me to do this?
"Hey, what about you guys, get out of the way, don't get in the way!" A hoarse voice behind him also yelled.
Looking back, it was Xiao Ye.
Holding the beloved ax tightly in his hand, his eyes were round and round, his face was flushed with excitement, and his mouth was about to split to the base of his ears...
Who told you to follow?
"I'm here to kill with my brother!" Xiao Ye howled like a fighting wolf cub.
Brat, don't listen!
