Chapter 638 0635 [Despicable Foreigner]
The terrifying momentum of the Qi army's navy frightened thousands of Japanese warriors, and even the war horses were frightened and could not help but neigh.
Many times, animals are more sensitive to danger than humans.
After all, this is their instinct for survival, engraved in their genes.
If you fail to make timely judgment, you will lose your life.
"assault!"
Accompanied by the roars of the samurai leaders, the Japanese samurai regained their footing and continued to approach the Qi navy.
If one looked down from above, the two hundred sailors used simple wooden fences as a support to form a round iron barrel, while the three or four thousand Japanese samurai surrounded it from all sides like a dense swarm of ants.
When the Japanese warriors were within the range of 150 steps, Sun Zhi shouted: "Armor-piercing arrows, flat shooting, three bursts of shooting!"
Swish!
With the sound of cloth tearing, a rain of arrows shot out.
After a volley of fire, more than a dozen Japanese warriors fell down wailing.
Japanese warriors all wore rattan armor with only a thin iron plate inlaid on the chest. It could block swords and arrows, but not powerful crossbows.
In particular, the powerful crossbows improved by the Qi army were more powerful than ever before.
As soon as one salvo ends, the second salvo immediately follows.
"Baga, don't retreat, hold up your shield!"
Amidst the shouts and curses, the Japanese warriors raised their wooden shields and continued to advance.
Seeing this, Sun Zhi continued to give orders: "Change to heavy arrows and shoot!"
After switching to heavy arrows, the Japanese warriors' shieldmen in the front row immediately became decorations.
Under the cover of night, wailing and screaming were heard everywhere.
However, the battle has only just begun.
After sacrificing hundreds of samurai, the Japanese samurai coalition finally advanced to within fifty steps. The archers hidden among the samurai took out their bows and arrows, drew the bows and put the arrows tied with oilcloth on the torches, and the arrows immediately caught fire.
Seeing this scene, Sun Zhi sneered.
If paper armor is really so easy to be restrained, is there any need for it to exist?
He was eliminated a long time ago.
Since it has been passed down from the early Tang Dynasty to the present day and has been tested by the warriors of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, it must have its merits.
The once-famous Mo Dao has disappeared, but the paper armor still exists, which is enough to explain the problem.
"Fire arrows!"
Swish!
The next moment, a chaotic rain of arrows flashing with fire cut through the darkness and flew towards the Qi army's formation.
The Japanese warriors used longbows, also known as Japanese bows, which were made of a mixture of bamboo and wood. Their effective range was only a pitiful thirty or forty steps. For this reason, they were only used when the two armies were thirty steps apart.
In order to make up for the shortcoming of short range, the only option was to work on the power. The Japanese chose to lengthen the bow, so that today, the longbow is seven feet and three inches (about 2.21 meters).
The Japanese are generally short in stature, which results in their archery posture being extremely strange.
Most of the arrows were blocked by the large shields in the front row, and the few arrows that hit the soldiers were also blocked by paper armor.
Suddenly, a rocket flew through the gap in the crowd and hit Sun Zhi in the chest.
"what?"
Sun Zhi pulled out the arrow from the paper armor and said in surprise, "This Japanese longbow does have its merits. It is as powerful as the three-stone hard bow!"
The arrow hit the paper armor, and the chest felt like it was hit by a hammer, which shows its power.
But that's all. A bow and arrow is just a bow and arrow after all. Unless one is an archer with amazing arm strength and a strong bow weighing more than five stones, it cannot penetrate armor.
……
"Ok?"
Fujiwara Tadamichi was stunned when he saw that the rockets fell into the Qi army and did not quickly ignite the paper armor and form a sea of fire as expected.
One of the retainers gnashed his teeth and said, "You despicable foreigner must have soaked your armor with water in advance."
"It's out of the way."
Fujiwara Tadamichi waved his hand and said confidently: "Paper armor will become soft and heavy when it gets wet. It will be exhausted in no time if it carries too much weight." "Hai, the master is wise!"
A group of retainers began to flatter him.
"correct."
Fujiwara Tadamichi suddenly remembered something and warned, "When they search for spoils later, tell them to be gentle and not to damage the treasures!"
The Chinese envoy brought with him a lot of treasures, and it is said that he casually rewarded a lowly warrior with a glass paperweight yesterday.
In his opinion, all the treasures carried by the Chinese envoys were now his.
It would be a shame if it were damaged by these lowly warriors.
A retainer said with a worried look on his face: "Master, it is said that there are still more than a dozen Chinese warships parked in Hyogo Port. After destroying these Chinese soldiers, I am afraid that the people on the warships will become suspicious and report back to China when they see that the envoys have not returned."
Retainers are not ordinary samurai, but the right-hand men of the patriarch in ruling his family and the people under his rule. The interests of both parties are closely linked, and betrayal will never occur.
Because once a retainer betrays his master, he would commit a serious taboo and could be killed by anyone.

Fujiwara Tadamichi waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter. Once the envoy dies, the remaining Chinese soldiers in the harbor will be leaderless. We have plenty of ways to deal with them."
As for the warships, he also accepted them with a smile.
He had been coveting China's warships for a long time, but unfortunately, Chinese ship merchants were asking for exorbitant prices, one higher than the other, which even he felt the pain in the neck.
Just as Fujiwara Tadamichi was daydreaming, a loud noise like thunder came from the front.
boom!
Flames splashed, smoke filled the air, and screams rose into the night sky.
Herod!
The sudden loud noise frightened the warhorse, and it immediately raised its front hooves and stood up, letting out a loud neigh.
Fujiwara Tadamichi was not paying attention for a moment and fell off his horse.
After getting rid of the burden, the warhorse immediately ran away like a headless fly.
Fortunately, the Japanese warhorse was short and did not suffer any injuries, but even so, Fujiwara Tadamichi grimaced in pain.
"Homeowner!"
After a brief moment of unconsciousness, the retainers came to their senses, surrounded him, and hurriedly helped Fujiwara Tadamichi up from the ground.
Adjusting his helmet, Fujiwara Tadamichi asked in panic, "What happened just now?"
The thunder came so suddenly, as if it had happened on the flat ground not far away, making his ears buzz.
"I do not know either."
The retainers shook their heads in confusion.
Boom boom boom! ! !
Just then, a series of loud noises were heard.
This time, Fujiwara Tadamichi saw it clearly.
Chinese soldiers were seen throwing out objects that sparkled with sparks, and then thunder was heard.
Moreover, every time a thunderclap sounded, a group of warriors fell down screaming.
Such a strange and terrifying scene made Fujiwara Tadamichi's scalp tingle and he broke out in a cold sweat.
"Run!"
"Mercy, Ming Shen, mercy!"
"..."
With just one round of firearms bombardment, thousands of Japanese warriors collapsed instantly.
Some of the warriors turned around and ran, while others threw away their swords, knelt down in fear, and shouted to the gods to spare their lives.
The so-called Narukami is the Japanese god of thunder. Legend has it that he was born from the head of the goddess Izanami.
In this era, even the people in the Central Plains were so ignorant, not to mention the isolated Japan.
Moreover, in order to maintain the rule of the emperor's lineage, he constantly deified himself and instilled ideas about gods and ghosts into the common people.
